Chapter 1: We're Back
"AHHHH! It's so good to be back!" Natsu exclaimed in relief as he walked the streets of Magnolia alongside his best friend , Happy. The sounds of the busy morning and people walking echoed through his ears happily. People whispered happily upon seeing the dragonslayer. It already has been 7 years since they last been there.
"AYE! Let's go see Lucy first!" Happy announced as he walked next to the dragonslayer. Although he wants to see Charle really bad to he would like to see Lucy first.
"Why don't we go to the guild first and see them! Knowing Lucy she will be there to!" Natsu sighed as he looked up smiling resting his hands behind his head breathing in the Magnolia air. He couldn't stop thinking about Lucy the whole time he was away and even now. He just couldn't wait to see her. He can't wait any longer to confess his feelings towards the blonde mage. He still remembers when he realized his feelings it was the day when he left before he boarded his train taking him away from her for what seemed like forever.
Flashback…7 years ago…
"I'm fired up, Happy!" Natsu exclaimed happily as he walked along the streets with a sullen Happy. They already said goodbye to everyone at the guild. The guildmates celebrated for them and gave them a farewell party as they wished for their safe return.
"Natsu?" Happy said sadly as he looked up at the pink haired dragonslayer. Natsu looked at Happy curiously as they continued to walk towards the train station their luggage on their backs.
"Hmm?" Natsu humed as he looked at the blue cat with questioning yet excited eyes.
"Do you think Lucy will say bye to us?" and with that question Natsu's expression immediately changed to one of sadness. The blonde mage that they hold so dear in their hearts didn't even show up to the guild to say goodbye and ever since they told her that they are leaving for a seven year mission assigned from the master she hasn't been the same. She didn't even talk to them and when she did it was expressionlessly just a blank stare.
"I don't know, Happy?" Natsu sighed in sadness as they finally reached the front of their train door getting ready to board. Natsu couldn't help but shake the hurt feeling that is making his heart squeeze in pain.
"All aboard!" The conductors voice echoed through their eyes signifying the start of their journey as they stepped on the train. Both Natsu and Happy signed heavily knowing the blonde won't come for them.
"She really isn't going to say goodbye!" Natsu said sadly as he lowered his head while walking to his room with Happy. His heart aching due to the blonde.
"Natsu! The train is starting Lucy really isn't coming!" Happy said sadly as he looked at the pink haired dragonslayer. Natsu sighed as he looked out the window towards the inside the train station. Wendy did a Troia on him so he should be fine from motion sickness in the beginning of his journey.
The train began to move making Natsu panic in fear in knowing the blonde is not coming. His heart aching in pain. Then he heard it! His eyes widen in shock as the voice echoed through his ears.
"NATSUUUUUUU!" Her crying voice yelled out in desperation as Natsu saw her through the window running towards the train in panic.
Tears coming down her eyes as she continued to run. The train kept moving making her figure disappear in front of his eyes slowly. Natsu immediately got up in panic and ran out the door running alongside Lucy's figure. She continued to run with tears in her eyes as she stared at him running through the window. Natsu dodged many objects and people as he continued to walk to the back of the moving train not losing sight of the blonde. Panic and frantic look filled his eyes and face as he kept repeating her name. A door only blocked his way leading to the back train balcony. Natsu quickly slammed it open hanging on the railing tightly in panic as he stared at the crying blonde still running as fast as she can she is slowing down though due to being tired.
"LUCY!" Natsu yelled in panic as he saw her figure getting smaller. There was silence as as she continued to run with her tears coming down. She wanted to tell him. Is it too late for her!
"IDIOT! COME BACK SAFE! DON'T YOU DARE DISAPPEAR ON US FOR MORE TIME! COME BACK TO US!" She cried out her voice echoing through the station as she continued to run.
"I PROMISE! WATCH LUCY I'LL COME BACK AND TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THE AWSOME TIME I HAD ON THE MISSION!" Natsu smiled happily as he waved at her. He watched as the blonde stopped running after the train a smile graced her lips softly as she stared with dried tears at the waving dragonslayer.
"Come back to me, dumbass!" She whispered out. Natsu heard her words loud and clear as if splash of cold water hit him. His heart raced to turbo charge at her words. His face heat up to his revelation of his feelings for the blonde. He loves her. Why did it take to now to notice?
"I will!" He said as her blonde figure disappeared from his sight. The train went faster away from the station leaving Natsu's heart behind.
End of flashback…
"Natsu? Do you think everyone remembers us?" Happy muttered out loud taking Natsu out of his thoughts of the past. Happy couldn't help , but worry about that it has been 7 years. Since then Happy has grown taller and furrier since Natsu refused to take him to the vet to get his fur cut short and Happy refused to let Natsu burn his fur short. Also Happy is now able to fly for a longer amount time that before!
"Don't worry, Happy! No one can forget us!" Natsu said happily as he comforted his best friend, but secretly he was also worrying about that. Natsu has grown taller and manlier as he boyish features completely left his face. His hair grew a little as his bangs almost covered his Onyx eyes. His cheek held a scar from one of his encounters with the enemy.
The two companions continued to walk towards their beloved guild feeling nervous with every step they took. Both of their thought consuming of the old times before Master sent them on the 7 year mission. They missed their guild members. But Lucy kept popping up in the dragonslayers head. Thinking about that fateful day when he realized his feelings for her. Wondering if she has changed.
' I wonder if she has a boyfriend or even a family?' Natsu thought to himself sadly. He instantly felt jealous and sadness at the very thought. Hoping it is not true.
"Natsu! WE'RE HERE!" Happy exclaimed with much excitement and nervousness in his voice. He turned to Natsu with a worry look. "Are you ok, Natsu?"
"Yeah! I am fine! Why you ask?" Natsu said laughing nervously not wanting to tell the exceed his thoughts. He quickly scratched the back of his head.
" You looked angry and sad for a moment. Don't you want to be here?"
"I DO WANT TO BE HERE , HAPPY!" Natsu exclaimed looked at Happy offended. "This is our home! Why wouldn't I want to be here?"
Happy continued to eye Natsu curiously knowing something is bothering him. Happy has noticed something different from the dragonslayer ever since that train ride leaving Magnolia when Natsu ran out the room in a panic. Happy remembers staring out the window to see Lucy crying. That image forever stayed in Happy's mind.
"Happy! Why are we standing outside talking! Let's go in!" Natsu announced as he grabbed Happy and busted through the guild doors like old times. Only this time he said the two words that made the whole guild burst into cheers of Joy.
"WE'RE BACK!" He yelled.
And with that the dragonslayer and blue Exceed were finally back from the long 7 year mission that master made them take. But what Natsu doesn't know is that things will get more complicated for him from now on. Would he be able to handle the revelation of a dangerous secret that the woman he loves is holding?
Once he finds out the secret will he let if destroy them or reunite them?
