FIRE DRAGON FIST !

@ SALAFIRE  independent / selective / mutuals - only / multi - verse NATSU DRAGNEEL from FAIRY TAIL . written & portrayed by amy ( i haven’t finished the series ) .

she  can  feel  her  patience  already  beginning  to  grow  thin.      it  was  there  for  a  second,    but  it’s  drifting  further  from  her  reach;    she’s  way  too  tired  to  dredge  up  any  true  form  of  irritation.      somewhere  in  the  back  of  her  mind,    a  headache  begins  to  grow.      sighing,    she  stumbles  into  her  kitchen  trying  to  ignore  the  exhausted  ache  of  her  muscles.      forgetting  her  own  strength  for  a  moment,    she  opens  the  fridge  door  with  perhaps  too  much  force  as  it  slams  against  the  wall.      she  winces      (    let’s  hope  the  landlady  doesn’t  complain    )      and  begins  to  rummage  through  her  groceries.

dryly,    she  asks,        “    you  wouldn’t  happen  to  know  how  to  chop  carrots,    would  you?    ”        it’s  a  fool’s  hope,    but  she’s  mentally  crossing  her  fingers  that  her  freeloader  can  help  out  just  a  little.

             ❛        chop  carrots    ?    c'mon  ,  lucy  !  gimme  some  credit  !    ❜

HE'S  NOT  SURE  WHY  ,  but  for  some  reason  he  wasn't  quite  expecting  her  to  up  &  start  cooking  .  no  sweat  ,  no  sweat  .  he  can  totally  destroy  a  few  carrots  !  &  so  ,  he    rushes  to  her  side  ,  aiding  in  her  venture  of  preparing  a  meal  for  the  two  .  he  grabs  a  knife  &  starts  off  carefully  (  or  as  careful  as  you'd  think  natsu  would  be  capable  )  ,  ensuring  he  gets  each  piece  of  the  vegetable  cut  just  right  .  but  ,  patience  wears  thin  &  chaos  ensues  when  he  begins  chopping  so  fast  his  hands  can't  keep  up  ,  &  with  the  slip  of  a  knife  ,  his  fingers  are  bleeding  .  but  the  carrots  are  chopped  !           ❛        WHEWW  ,  all  done  .  see  ,  i  told  ya  i  could  --  WHOA  ,  NO  WAY  --  i  --  i  mean  --    ❜

carrots  are  chopped  ,  &  that's  all  that  matters  ,  as  he  hides  his  bloody   hand  behind  his  back  .

Amused is the hum that dithers out in a soft breath – Hazuki regarding what should be a passing stranger with quiet regard; it’s no secret that he frequents this place more often than not. What is surprising, is that his frequency shift seemed to be off kilter in a world so foreign to him – leaving him vulnerable to discovery (ah, well… he shouldn’t be too surprised, given the difference in realities). 

      “ So you have, “ comes his response – eyes lidding as the golden torrent gleams with idle curiosity, “ and it just so happens that I’ve been watching you too. “ Hands tuck into open pockets, and Hazuki can feel the thrum of flickers. “ Tell me – this place… does it hold any meaning to you? “

                                        ❛        watchin'  me  ?        ❜

the  hell's  goin'  on  here    .    .    .    he  just  wanted  to  make  conversation  with  a  familiar  face  ,  &  this  guy  is  totally  bonkers  .  what's  there  to  watch  ,  anyways  ?  aside  from  random  outbursts  ,  intense  blow  -  ups  ,  wreckage  of  city  property  ,  &  fist  fights  on  the  street    .    .    .    alright  ,  so  maybe  it's  not  that  weird  .

                                    ❛        well  ,  yeah  ,  i  guess  .        ❜

more  than  an  '  i  guess  '  ,  this  place  means  everything  to  him  .  but  he  really  wants  to  know  just  what  this  guy's  after  here  &  why  he's  being  so  damn  creepy  about  it  .

❛   company .   silently  sit  with  my  muse  to  comfort  them.

THE  BATTLE  IS  WON  &  they  have  the  scars  to  prove  it  .  it's  been  several  hours  since  their  moments  of  both  strength  &  weakness  ,  &  since  ,  a  tent  has  been  drawn  ;  the  sounds  of  crickets  chirping  echoes  through  the  fabric  .  he's  antsy  ,  anxious  ,  adrenaline  still  pumping  through  his  system  offering  nothing  but  another  sleepless  night  .  he  sighs  &  unzips  his  way  out  of  their  sleeping  arrangements  ,  as  if  the  air  outside  the  tent  were  any  fresher  than  the  air  inside  .  he  thinks  it's  probably  more  psychological  than  anything  ,  but  truly  ,  he  couldn't  really  care  less  .

   inward  ,  he  draws  a  breath  of  cool  air  ,  &  holds  his  arms  as  the  lack  of  sunlight  plays  keep  -  away  with  the  warmth  of  still  breeze  .  the  silence  is  interrupted  when  sniffles  are  heard  from  nearby  ,  &  of  course  ,  he'd  venture  'til  he  found  the  source  .  through  a  pair  of  bushes  peaks  a  lake  with  silhouette  hunched  over  atop  a  rock  that  breaches  water's  surface  .  something  about  it  does  seem  like  the  perfect  place  to  cry  .  it's  not  a  wonder  what  she's  doing  here  .  he  closes  his  eyes  for  a  brief  moment  ,  placing  his  hands  'gainst  his  neck  ,  elbows  folded  behind  his  head  .

he  approaches  the  girl  in  silence    --    ah  ,  lucy  .  he  looks  to  her  from  behind  ,  letting  the  melancholy  aura  possess  him  too  as  he  stares  out  against  the  vast  blue  that  meets  the  horizon  from  both  ends  .  he  thinks  of  times  spent  playing  out  by  the  water  ,  moments  passing  as  him  &  happy  await  a  fish's  catch    .    .    .    it's  all  too  familiar  .  he  thinks  also  of  moments  spent  playing  with  lisanna  ,  fighting  gray  ,  &  erza's  protection  from  each  other  .  he  thinks  of  when  lucy  first  entered  the  guild  &  how  she  sits  before  him  now  .  he  steps  closer  ,  his  feet  nearest  to  her  thigh  ,  as  she  weeps  quietly  where  she  thought  no  one  would  find  her  .

he  sighs  quietly  ,  putting  cracks  in  the  once  smooth  silence  ,  &  places  himself  gently  beside  her  .  he  sits  with  his  legs  crossed  ,  leaning  into  his  knees  with  his  elbows  .  it's  a  bit  uncomfortable  ,  but  he'd  stay  that  way  awhile  nonetheless  .  without  ever  breaking  eye  contact  from  the  movement  of  surface  blue  ,  he'd  place  an  arm  around  lucy's  shoulders  &  hold  her  close  enough  for  her  to  find  comfort  at  his  chest  .  

“ n’ what the hell’s my  clothes  gotta do with it?! “

the words part through clenched teeth,   features twisting in pain as the lizard’s foot comes careening atop his own.   stupid klutz!   there was no way he did it on purpose,   not with the way he just looked down.    with a growl he pushes back even more,   but with natsu’s foot situated atop his own,   he found he was  struggling  some.   not that he’d ever admit it.

“ get off me,   y’ braindead lizard !    s’ not my fault your head’s so dense that y’ weigh a gazillion pounds ! “    hands raise then to push at the other’s shoulders,   digits digging into the skin.   on the sly,  he’ll add a little  ice magic  to keep things cool.

                       ❛ THAT’S IT , I’M TIRED ‘A TEAMIN’ UP WITH YOU , YA CLOWN - FACED KNOW - IT - ALL ! SO WHAT IF MY HEAD WEIGHS A GAZILLION POUNDS , AT LEAST I’M USIN’ IT FOR SOMETHIN’ !!!  ❜  

& THE FUSE HAS BEEN BLOWN . he pulls back only to brace for impact as he slams himself , full - throttle , into his nemesis , putting all of his force into pushing back , though he’d hate to admit how damned hard he was really trying here . there’s an icy sting that greets his biceps & natsu practically throws himself in the way that he escapes gray’s grasp .

                      ❛  YOU’RE STOOPIN’ TOO DAMN LOW , YOU’RE LUCKY THAT ERZA ISN’T --  ❜  

he pauses .
