Natsu Dragneel. You hear this name, and you think of fire, energy, happiness, strength, and maybe even pink, even though his hair is obviously salmon. Or if your weird, you think of yaoi. Anyway, he is obviously dense, cute, and funny, and doesn't have any troubles moving through his young life. But you're wrong. Natsu Dragneel, under the hood, is a scared boy, with depression and anxiety. If you were to ask him the most common first 2 words of his thoughts, it would be, 'What if...' He smiles it off, but only one person is even the slightest suspicious of our fire dragon's happy-go-lucky attitude, Gray Fullbuster.
