The Dragon's Light

FLOWER

"Natsu..." Happy yawns, landing on his friend's head. "Mhm... We've walking for hours and still no sign. Sleep for a while buddy" Natsu says, patting his friend as he continues walking.

Sighing, he looked left to see no sign. "Damn it" he cursed. It was past midnight and he haven't winked an ounce of rest.

Smelling something strange, he turned around to see something bright. Golden bright before him, he held Happy in his arms as he runs towards the shining flower.

Kneeling, he gently picked the flower. 'Ah... I really wanna get that flower for business. But it's on a mountain I'm too scared and one more, it only works at when the sky is dark, tsk. How ueseless' he remembered the gossips he heard on his way towards the mountain.

Standing up, he began to walk downwards the mountain. Sweating glands running down his cheek, he rubs his sleepy eyes. Insisting, he still walked back despite his lack of sleep.

"Mhm...." Happy yawned, slowly opening his eyes. Before him was a sleepy Natsu walking on a path way back to their client's house. "Natsu... I'm awake now. I'll fly you and you can rest for a while" Happy says, his wings magically appearing in midair.

"It's fine.. we have to hurry up and give it to the lady..." he says in his hoarse voice, grunting. "I'll put the flower in your bag" Happy insisted, Natsu half awake. Finally securing the flower on his friend's bag, he then grabs Natsu's shirt as he flies him towards the sky.

Hours went by, Happy could feel the wind getting colder. It was nearing the sunrise. "Natsu, we're here" Happy exclaims, Natsu rubbing his drowsy eyes.

Gently landing his friend down, Natsu rang the doorbell. Ringing again, silence was the answer. After a few rings, the door opened, revealing a yawning Kayden. "Mr... mr Natsu??" he jolts awake in surprise.

Rushing towards the gate, he immediately opened the gates. "It's so early, and your eyes look so tired!" he states in worry, witnessing the mage's dark circles in his eyes and pale skin.

"I'm.. fine... And take me to your wife, now" Natsu urges."Yes, this way please" Kayden welcomes his guests, closing the gates after.

"Dear... wake up..." Kayden softly and gently shakes his sleeping wife. "Mmn..." she groaned, slowly opening her eyes. "Dear?" she asks, and beside him, was a salmon haired mage.

"Natsu...san?" she meekly smiled. "Yes" Natsu softly answered. Taking the flower from his bag, Kayden choked up in tears.

"A glass with water please" Natsu looked at Kayden. Nodding, he took the glass of water from the desk table as instructed.

Passing it to him, Natsu nodded his head in thanks. Crumbling the glowing flower in bits, the glow still shined so brightly. Taking the stem away, he gave it to her husband.

"Thank you" Kayden smiles, gently sitting his wife. Softly feeding her the water alongside with the flower, he put her down gently afterwards.

"But, why did you come back so early mr. Natsu?" he asks, putting the empty glass back on the desk table.
