A/N: Hello readers once again I am back with another fanfic this time based off of Fairy Tail, so here is kinda the deal this is a crossover because I needed a few characters to play a few parts that will later make things make more sense and that's about all I'm going to say on that. What else...oh! Big flashy warning sign because this will have some yaoi and if you don't like the Nagray pairing then please for my sake and yours do NOT read this. So as mentioned there is a main dish of NatsuXGray with a side of NatsuXOC but if you stick with the story you will find that things don't always turn out to be what they appear they are going to be. (Always wanted to say something like that) So yeah and I might have some other homosexual and heterosexual pairings in here that are not cannon, so if you don't like all that then yeah I would steer clear of this and possibly my account all together. The last thing I am going to say is I don't own anything except my few OC's that are major characters in this and you will find out why if or when you read this...umm anything else lets see...oh yeah, I will not try and get people to R&R and all of that but please if you think there is something that really needs to be fixed or something that I should add, do not hesitate to msg me about it I'm open to pretty much anything. (That being said if you have a msg that's purely ranting in all caps about how this story sux then I will not be pleased.) Enjoy my readers, enjoy.
It was just another non-ordinary ordinary day Natsu dragneel was walking to his beloved guild Fairy Tail with his best friend Happy. Natsu was a fire mage and a very powerful one with that the only problem is he was somewhat of an idiot. Okay no he was a huge idiot but no one minded, most of the time. Today was just like all other days, he walked to the guild and sat at the bar. "Hey Natsu what can I get for you this morning?" The pretty model barmaid Mirajane asked.
"How about some fish?" Happy said excited.
"Alright, is that it? Natsu you don't want anything else?" Mirajane asked the pinkette. "Actually it's just for Happy, I'm alright for now." He smiled at the barmaid who shrugged and went to get Happy's fish. After she delivered it to the over excited cat she called Lucy over.
"Hey Natsu." She said as she headed up to Mira.
"Hey." Natsu said giving her a small wave before returning to staring out the window.
"Lucy, do you know if there is something wrong with Natsu?" Mira whispered knowing the dragon slayer have overly sharp hearing.
"I don't know but something does seem a little off today with him." Lucy admitted glancing at the mage who was still absently staring out the window.
"Oh look Erza is back." Mira said looking at the door. The scarlet haired re-equip mage walked through the doors causing everyone to get their act together for a little while.
"I wonder if she knows anything.." Lucy wondered allowed.
"Hey Erza!" Mirajane called over the redhead.
"Hello Mira, Lucy and Natsu." She said walking over then squinting her eyes at Natsu a little.
"Good morning Erza." Lucy said. Natsu was still lost in thought or something.
"Is something wrong with Natsu?" Erza asked in a whisper. The other girls both shrugged and told her he had been out of it all morning.
"Hey flame brain wanna fight?" A loud voice rang out from somewhere behind the group. It was Gray Fullbuster, the ice mage and a rival of Natsu's. He walked over wearing nothing but his boxers.
"No I don't want to but dude, put some clothes on." Natsu said not even looking at the mage.
"What the!?" Gray said out of shock that not only were his clothes gone but the guy who he was always fighting suddenly didn't want to.
"Well that proves it, something is definitely amiss with Natsu." Erza said, Lucy nodded along with Mirajane and Gray who had picked up his clothes off the floor and had put them on again.
I wonder what's wrong with him, I hope he isn't sick or something. Gray thought to himself, though he would never openly share it he was concerned for the younger mage.
"Well whatever it is I hope he gets over it before tomorrow. I want all of us to go on a mission together. We haven't in awhile so we are all going and there will be no objections." Erza said half glaring at Gray and Natsu though the dragon slayer didn't notice her.
Why do I feel like something is coming but I don't know what it is? There is more magic in the air today and I don't know why. It's not dark but it's not normal. It feels familiar somehow but I can't figure it out. Ugh this is so annoying! The dragon slayer though to himself still looking out the window blankly.
"He is hardly responding to anything, not even food! I am worried." Lucy said to Erza, Gray and Happy. They had moved away from the dragon slayer now and were sitting by the window in which Natsu kept staring out of with a blank expression.
"I know I am worried too but I don't think Natsu would come to when there is something wrong. He will probably just hide away from all of us until he finds an answer or until something happens." Erza said. Gray remained silent but he was worried as well, he got the feeling that he was more worried than all of them though he couldn't understand why.
"We should do something about this, the guild isn't the same when Natsu isn't himself." Gray said subconsciously. A small smile was flashed between Lucy, Erza and Happy.
"Yes we should do something but the question remains on what we should do." Happy said. He looked over at his best friend who had gotten up from the bar and was wandering over to them.
"Has he snapped out of it finally?" Gray asked getting into a fighting stance but Erza held him back as they watched. Natsu wandered past them and over to the window, he just stood there looking out of it with no expression.
"Okay this is getting really weird." Lucy said watching him. Happy flew over and landed on his head. Normally Natsu would take him off and put him on his shoulder where he could look at his flying friend and smile. Not today though, Natsu didn't even notice Happy was there and didn't notice when he left.
"What's wrong with Natsu?" The blue exceed asked with tears in his eyes. It was Gray's turn to try and wake Natsu up from his state.
"Ice make!" He said as thin sheets of ice came from his hand. He placed the ice on Natsu's bear shoulder, normally he would shriek and punch Gray for doing that. However today he just stood there not caring at all, the ice melted pretty quickly. "What?! He can't melt my ice just like that without using his flames at all!" Gray said with wide eyes. He went to touch the fire mage but Erza stopped him by grabbing his wrist and pulling him back.
"If he can melt your ice like that then he is probably too hot for you to touch him idiot." She said shoving him into Lucy and walking up to Natsu. "Natsu! Wake up this instant!" She said in a loud but not too loud voice. She placed her hand on his shoulder but then took it back in a matter of seconds. "He really is hot, hotter than normal." She said looking at her hand that was slightly burned. However Natsu remembered where he was because of that and finally turned to his friends.
"Erza why are you burnt?" He asked gaining her attention along with everyone else's.
"Your back!" Happy said crashing into his friend still teary eyed.
"What are you talking about I never left." he said with a smile that was slightly forced. He was turning towards the window again but Lucy grabbed his hand before he got there.
"Don't!" She said quickly.
"Why? Lucy it's just a window." Natsu said looking at her with question.
"B-because Erza wants us all to go on a mission tomorrow and she wanted to explain it to us." Lucy said quickly turning to Erza.
"Right, it's a pretty easy job so no one should be able to mess it up I hope, we are watching a house for awhile." She said.
"Okay is that all? That's a really easy one." Natsu said turning around and heading to the door after placing Happy on Lucy's head.
"Happy makes a nice hat for you." He laughed a little and opened the doors.
"Where are you headed?" Gray asked with the intent to follow.
"Just out for a walk." Natsu said disappearing behind the closing doors.
"I doubt that." Gray said watching after him.
"Are you going to follow him or not." Erza asked shoving him forward slightly.
"What? Why would I care where he is going?" Gray retorted even though he did want to follow Natsu.
"Right well Lucy and I have to take care of Happy now so this is an order, follow Natsu and make sure he doesn't get into trouble."Erza said turning to Lucy who was cradling a now extremely depressed Happy in her arms.
"Fine I'll go." Gray said after seeing the cat's face. Just the excuse I needed. The ice mage thought as he walked out of the guild. A small smile on his lips as well as Lucy's and Erza's from inside the guild.
I need to find the source, the magical energy is addicting. I need to find where it's coming from I also want to find out why it feels like I have been here before with the same magical energy surrounding me. No one else seems to notice it. The dragon slayer thought trying to find out which direction the energy waves were the strongest. He stopped to sense the area around him, the mountains had strong waves but not as strong as the waves coming from the dark forest. "So then that's where I should be going." He said looking at the path ahead of him. It was the dark forest where any sane person knew not to go but this was different. Something was in there that was pulling Natsu towards it and he had to find it. He walked towards the entrance to the forest. It's strongest in there but something else is there, something that is dark and evil. The magic energy has a bit more darkness to it now. Natsu thought before entering the forest.
What the hell is that idiot doing going into the dark forest! Does he have some kind of death wish? The ice mage thought running after the dragon slayer.
"Natsu!" Gray called after he entered the dark forest, he saw the younger mage ahead of him. Natsu turned to him a little in question.
"Why did you follow me?" He asked.
"Because you're not yourself today. You have been completely out of it and Erza told me to make sure you didn't get into any trouble, however coming in here tells me that there will probably be more trouble." Gray said tearing his eyes away from Natsu with a slight dust of pink on his face.
The dark part of the waves got stronger, something was wrong with the person or thing that was giving off the waves of magic that Natsu longed for. He abruptly turned his back to Gray and started checking the surrounding area again for the strongest waves. "Hey what's up?" Gray walked to his side with worry. "Natsu?" He asked getting even closer to his face. His eyes were closed and his ears twitched a little. That was kind of cute, wait what? No I can't think about that here and now. Gray said trying to remain under control. Natsu finally opened his eyes and took a step deeper into the forest through the trees. "Oi Natsu what's wrong! Where are you going!" Gray asked grabbing his wrist.
"The stronger waves are coming from this direction, lets go we don't have time to waist standing around like this." Natsu said in a low growl, he grabbed Gray's wrist with force and started running through the trees dragging the older mage along with him. Gray realized that instead of holding onto Natsu like he had planned Natsu was holding onto him! Blush covered his cheeks as he noticed how warm the fire mage was against his cold skin.
It feels so good, almost addicting. Gray thought as he let himself be pulled by the fire mage. Natsu kept running faster and faster, if Gray wasn't being pulled behind him he would have never caught up to him.
"Natsu don't you think we should slow down a little?" Gray asked out of breath. Natsu was a lot faster than Gray ever realized. Then Natsu just stopped in his tracks causing Gray to crash into him. "What the hell Natsu?! I said slow down not stop without warning." The ice mage said but there was no response from the dragon slayer he just stood there for a minute before his breathing became really heavy and he fell to his knees gasping for air. "Natsu?!" Gray yelled supporting the boy so he didn't completely collapse on him. "Lets rest for a little while." He said pulling Natsu against a tree. Natsu was too tired to protest and unknowingly leaned against the ice mage as his eyes grew heavier. "What the hell is going on with you today?" Gray asked softly into the boy's ear.
"It hurts." Natsu said in a little more than a whisper. Gray just looked at him wanting a reason but he got none, Natsu turned to Gray and lay his head on Gray's shoulder before falling asleep completely.
