"B-Because.. I love you Natsu!"
. . . . . .
Those words echoed on Natsu's head
His eyes widened and stood there processing Mira's confession
Flashback
10 years ago
*Sob* *Sob*
A pink haired boy is crying in the park alone..
He kept wiping his tears but it won't stop..
Then he felt a hand over his shoulder
"Are you alright?" . . .
Natsu looked up and saw a smiling white haired girl
"N-No! I'm not alright!" Natsu cried harder as he remembered what happened
"What happened?" The girl sat next to him
"I-It's none of your business!" Natsu stood up and tried to walk away but the girl grabbed his hand, stopping him
"If you talk about it, maybe i can help you" The girl smiled at him
Natsu quickly remove his hand from her grasp and run away
'No one can help me! No one can bring dad back! No one!' Natsu cried harder
*Oof* Natsu dropped to the ground as he hit someone while running
"Oy! Watch where you going you little shit!" A thug spilled his coffee on his shirt "Look at what you did to my favorite shirt"
The thug grabbed Natsu's shirt and lifted him "Aren't you going to apologize you brat?"
Natsu struggled to get free "No!" He cried
"Why you-"
"STOP!" A girl shouted stopping the thug from punching Natsu
"Eh? another brat? Ar- OW!" The white haired girl kicked him in the groin and fell on his knees
"Let's go!" The white haired girl grabbed Natsu again as they started running
The rain started to pour as the two reached the waiting shed
They both sat in the bench trying to catch their breath
After a minute of silence, Natsu is the one to first to speak
"W-Why did you help me?.." Natsu has stopped crying
"Because I want to help you!" Mira smiled at him again
"Why?! You don't even know me!" Natsu shouted at her making her frown
"Sorry..I just...I never had a friend.."
Natsu looked at the girl as she hugged her knees closer to her chest
"After mama died, Papa never let me out of the house or have friends and started home schooling me for two years now... So i decided to run away from home"
The girl tried her best not to cry and felt someone sat closer to her
"I'll be your friend.." Natsu looked away trying to hide his blush
The girl quickly hugged Natsu "Thank you!" She finally burst out of tears
"O-Oy! Don't hug me!" Natsu's face turned red as he struggled to escape the embrace
The girl broke the hug "S-Sorry, I-Im just so happy!"
"S-So.. What's your name?" Natsu asked
"Oh sorry, My name is Mirajane, Mirajane strauss, But you can call me Mira"
"Nice to meet you Mira, My name is Natsu"
Mira placed her hand on top of his making Natsu blush "H-Hey..."
"Natsu.. Why were you crying earlier?" Mira asked Natsu making him frown
"M-My Father left me...So i'm all alone now.." Natsu forced himself not to cry
"Where's your mother?", Natsu's tear finally escaped his eye
"I..Never got the chance to meet her.. Father said she left us when i was still a baby-" Natsu suddenly felt Mira's warm embrace
"Then I swear to take care of you Natsu, You will never be alone again, I Promise you that..." Mira broke the hug to give him a sweet smile
Natsu burst again in tears and hugged mira "T-Thank you.."
"Mirajane!" A voice was heard from the distance
"Papa.." Mira murmured Mira quickly hide behind a post, Natsu started to peak and saw a man in an umbrella shouting Mira's name
Natsu looked at mira "Who's that?"
"M-My father.." The rain stopped pouring and the sun started to show itself
"Then you go talk to him" Natsu gave her a toothy grin
"B-But.. I may never see you again!"
"Eh? You promised already, So go!" Natsu pushed her gently
"H-Hey!"
"M-Mira?.." The man dropped his umbrella
Mira stood there trying not to make eye contact
The man quickly run towards her and hugged her tightly
"L-Let go of me!" Mira cried
"W-Why did you run away! You made me worried!" Mirajane's father started to cry
"Because you never let me have any friends!" Mirajane shouted, struggling to break his father's hug
"I-Im sorry Mirajane!, I-I just wanted to protect you..Just like i promised your mother.."
"I don't think mama will be happy!" Those words struck in his heart
Mirajane started to cry "Mama.."
"I-Im sorry! I will make it up to you Mirajane! I love you and your mother"
"I love you too, papa.."
Natsu watch there from the distance
'I wish dad was here...I will find you dad.. No matter what..'
The two finally made up and started to head home
3 days later
Mira and Natsu sat in a bench eating some ice cream
"Thank you for spending time with me Natsu!"
"No problem! That's what friends are for right?"
"Can we be more than friends?"
Natsu dropped his ice cream "W-What?!"
"You know, Like boyfriends and girlfriends!" Mirajane said with a smile
"D-Do you know what Girlfriend and boyfriend means?!" Natsu shouted
"N-Not exactly, My classmate said that it's an upgraded version of friends"
Natsu sweat dropped "T-That's not the meaning.."
Mira tilted her head "Then what's the real meaning?"
"I-If the two love each other so much, they call it that.."
Mirajane instantly blushed "O-Oh.."
Mira placed her hand on top of Natsu's making him blush even more
"H-Hey Natsu... Do you love me?.."
Flashback end
Natsu shook his head and quickly run upstairs and opened Mira's room
"Mira!" He saw Mira crying on the corner of her bed while hugging a pillow
"G-Go away!" Mira threw her pillow at him
Natsu dodged it "M-mira please!"
Natsu reached the bed and quickly hugged Mira tightly
"I-Im sorry mira..."
"P-Please.." Mira manage to choke out
"I..Love..you too..."
Mira stopped struggling as his words process on her head
"Thank you for taking care of me and keeping your promise.. Sorry for being so blind"
"Idiot.." Mira murmured
Natsu broke the hug and saw Mira smiling at him "Idiot.."
"Eh-" Natsu was stop by Mira as she kissed him in the lips
Suddenly, Natsu felt something, Obeying his instincts, He quickly broke the kiss and pushed mira on her bed
*Crash* Shattered ice scattered around the room
"N-Natsu-kun?" Mira stared at awe as he saw Natsu's arm turned into a shield
"Avyante, sorry Mira-chan, I forgot to explain" Natsu gave her a toothy grin
"Natsu-sama!" Lisanna shut the door open "The raven haired boy is here!"
"Wait, Why are they after me?" Natsu asked Lisanna
"Oh... I forgot to tell you that powers can be stolen by uhmm.. sorry natsu-sama but you forbid me to say such words"
Natsu's eyes widened "Then that means.. In order to steal a power, you must kill it's user?"
Lisanna nodded
"I-Is there any other way?!"
Lisanna shook her head
"Damn.." Natsu grind his teeth
"N-Natsu-kun.. Please don't kill anyone.." Mira said with a worry face
Natsu gave her a smile "I won't, Let's go Lisanna!"
Lisanna nodded and run downstairs with Natsu
'Be careful Natsu-kun..'
"Damn those Dragon's reflexes.." Gray's eyes twitched
"Don't worry gray-sama! Juvia is here to help you!" Juvia cling again on Gray's arm
"S-Stop doing that!" Gray cried
"So you're the guy who kept bugging me" Natsu sighed
THe two jumped in shock but regain their composure quickly and readied for battle
"That power is mine, Pinky" Gray smirked
"I would like to see you try" Natsu smirked back
"Juvia! Take care of his angel" Juvia nodded Charged at Lisanna who quickly dodge her attack
"Shall we dance?" Gray's hand turned into an ice sword
Natsu's arm turned into a crimson blade "Let's end this"
"AAAH!" both charged at each other *Cling*
"Who are you? Juvia is confused!" *Clang* Cling* Juvia used her blue dual blades to attack Lisanna
Lisanna kept blocking her attacks with her Fencing sword made out of light
"I don't know what you mean, Juvia" *Clang*
"Juvia knows every angel that are guarding *Cling* the tablet!"
"*Clang* Maybe you forgot about me *Cling* We were guarding the tablets *Clang* for thousand of years" Lisanna panted as she blocked juvia's attack
"DONT MOCK JUVIA'S MEMORY!" Juvia's weapon glowed and became a twin bladed sword
Lisanna catches her breath and transformed her sword into a scythe with a serpent head decoration on top "Sorry Juvia, But i can't reveal my identity for now"
Juvia's eyes widened "That scythe.. Juvia wants to know where did you get that scythe!"
"Defeat me first" Lisanna smiled at Juvia
"Very well then, Juvia will go all out on you!" Juvia charged at super human speed *Clang*
"For a newbie, You're good!" Gray smirked at Natsu
"Well, For an *Cling* old timer like you, Your moves are shit!" Natsu taunted gray
"Is that so?" Gray stopped attacking "Avyante" He removed his left hand's gloves revealing another tattoo "Let me show you the power i stole"
