Natsu didn't appear in his dreams often. It was rare that it was him in his dream. The dreams he could recall, he was someone else. It was like he was playing a game, he knew he wasn't them, but he was controlling them. Often his dreams were like playing a horror game, to be more specific.

Natsu still appeared in his dreams from time to time. Unfortunately, if he was in the dream, it was not a good dream.

As a kid, things were different, most of the time he was in his dreams. Whether it was wandering the empty halls of a house, and even though he had never seen it before, it still felt so familiar. Then, there were the dreams where he was trapped in said house, with fire surrounding him.

What he just couldn't understand was the fear he felt, no matter how many times he consoled himself, that fire couldn't hurt him, he still felt terrified of the flames.

He was once again in the strangely familiar house, with flames surrounding him, only this time, he could hear the roaring of a dragon. But it wasn't Igneel. Jolting awake he buried his head into his hands. Gently swinging off his hammock, careful not to wake Happy, he made his way to the bathroom.

After taking a deep breath, he washed his face and ignored the lingering sound of the dragon. When he closed his eyes, he could still see the flames. Shutting off the water, he dried his hands and exited the bathroom.

He ignored the worried look Happy gave him, instead choosing to just pat him on the head and continued on with his day.

"It was weird. What do you think it means?" Natsu heard Lisanna tell Gray, tilting his head.

"What was weird?" Gray rolled his eyes at Lisanna who was looking worried.

"She saw someone she'd never seen before in her dreams. It doesn't mean anything, you're making a big deal out of nothing." Lisanna growled and flung her arms out.

"I am not!" Natsu placed a hand on her shoulder.

"As much as I hate to say this, Gray's right, seeing someone unfamiliar doesn't mean anything. It was just a dream after all." At least, that's what Natsu told himself. The black-haired teen who constantly appeared in his dreams didn't mean anything. His robes were stupid anyway.

Tenrou was a scary experience for Natsu. Not for any of the right reasons of course. What scared Natsu was that he recognized Zeref. And Zeref knew him.

Thankfully, Evergreen and Elfman didn't bring it up. At this point, Natsu wasn't even sure the two of them remembered.

It was harder for Natsu to get to sleep now, every time he closed his eyes, he could see the, for some reason, the familiar face of Zeref. Natsu didn't know what any of it meant, why he recognized Zeref from his dreams all those years ago. Why Zeref knew him when he was certain the two had never crossed paths before.

But, one thing Natsu knew, was that this was a secret he'd be taking to the grave.

After the Grand Magic Games, the dreams came back full force. And Natsu could clearly remember them. It still went down the same, except this time, he was once again a kid, but there was no fire, not yet at least.
