Scarlet Words

*Buzz*

The inaudible white noise fills my head as my (e\c) eyes adjust to the brightening light that radiates from the brown ragged shades. But trying my best to turn off the imaginary alarm to my left I remember there is no alarm and I do not have a home. Surprised and shocked my eyes bolt open while I try to gather my thoughts of where I may be. And then it dawns on me, I'm spending my time with Natsu. Thump...Thump...Thump...My heart beats rapidly and collectively think of the guy that kissed me and said he cares for me.

"This can't....be real..." I hush to myself as I feel something wet drip onto my head. Glaring my (e\c) gems up to the object, I notice it's Natsu drooling in his sleep with his arms wrapped around me. Similar to a noose, I become encased in his loving hug and blush a scarlet red. My face buried in his chest over the cute encounter I try to gather my beings and sneak out of the pinkette's grip without his notice.

"Thanks....Senpai." My lips record as I make my way to the kitchen and grow some plants to make breakfast for the two of us. Well, until I hear a scratching noise gnawing at my leg. gracefully looking down I see a blue neko cat with a green knapsack on his back scratching at my leg like a lunatic.

"Leave our house alone!" The blue feline hollers to me as I get to my knees and pet his head. Calming the little kitten I ask him his name and tell him it's alright. To my surprise was a response from the cat which seemed to spook me.

"H-how can y-you talk?"My voice staggers and i mutter as my hairs stick up to the back of my head.

"Have you never heard of a talking cat before?"

"To be honest, No I have not."

"What a strange world we live in in.*sigh*"

A chuckle slithers from the crevice of my lips in the attempt to make a laugh at the little feline. His sense of humor wonders my mind, surveying the options of familiarity. Until i make a memory of who he makes me think of. With the image of who he reminds me of in my mind I cover my mouth and bite my quivering lips.

"Dad..." 

My eyes widen and I drastically grab the feline into a hug and cry. The remembrance of my dragon father renders to an imaginary illusion that I mistakenly take the cat for. But I am soon pulled out of my diluted delusion with a hand beginning to be placed on my shoulder. To my content I see Natsu behind me, slowly I gather my grip and let the cat down and grip into Natsu's chest and cry.

"I wish I knew what I did back then." Natsu reclaims to me while his chin is on my shoulder and my tears dry up with my vision restoring my focus.  

"You don't re-remember?"

"No, I only wish that I did so I could give you some peace (y/n)." Natsu cooes into my ears and rocks me to try and forget. Thump...Thump...Thump... My heart booms out of my chest again and I feel myself pull closer to him. As mere seconds go by I feel my body warm up until our lips touch. For what feels like the first time in many of years, I feel happy.

The kiss lasting no longer then a few seconds was filled with passion and my  heart feels as if it lays on my skin. And then I remember the cat is in the room with us. A slow twist of my neck I notice the cat giving us a weird look and my mind fills with worries again.

"He Liiiiikkkes...You!"

As red as a rose I glare at the cat who runs away laughing it's tiny little body off. Embarrassment devours my soul in a minute, but I then hear a slight and cheerful chuckle behind me. My thoughts of Natsu now confuse me but I look at him and I realize he's not in a shirt and my face turns a darker shade of red known as scarlet. But while I scan up to the pinkette I glare at the response of his laugh.

"I'll get ready, by the way Erza wants to talk to you. So I would hurry.....She is....ugh."

Raising a cocked eyebrow I look at Natsu and speculate what he means and by who does he mean Erza. Who is Erza? As brain now begins to work I figure it to be a girl's name. And if what Natsu is telling me she is rough around the edges. The puppy blonde is out....so who. Finally my brain picks it up like it was a single name out of a drawing and I match a face.

"She's the scarlet mage, isn't she?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. But hey I'll catch up after, I can't find my scarf. Go ahead without me." Natsu hollers as the sound of breaking objects fill the white noise in the home.

Gulping on the heavy snowball of spit in my throat I sweat a bucket of water and walk out of the cabin in the woods and follow the scent of the liquor filled guildhall. But as my mind begins to think of the possibilities of who 'Erza' is I feel another tug at my feet and look down.

"Natsu wanted me to come along.....he really cares about you....what's your name?"

"(Y/n) (l/n), and yours?"

"Happy the Catmander."

Smiling to the best of my capabilities I look "Happy" and walk through the voices of nature that father calls a forest and wonder to the guild.

Finally reaching the guild I open the now somewhat accustom door and scan my surroundings. The scent of liquor and a slight urine scent fills my nose as realize we arrived at opening of the place, while a few only sit inside and drink some drinks that I think to be alcohol. But then I recognize the only face I have gotten to know as of the day prior. The scarlet mage that I now know to be the girl named Erza.

"We have to talk." The stern female asks with her eyes as sharp as knifes, almost ready to cut down everyone in the building.

"Alright." I nod.
