Natsu had a thoughtful expression to his face. He supposed it was a little weird for the ghost to be so familiar having only been here for such a short time.

"Well... what if it's like a reincarnation thing? Like we knew each other in a past life?" He didn't normally give so much thought into those sorts of things. However, after the events from all those months ago, he couldn't help but wonder if meeting people in another life was real or possible. Something like a second change, a complete restart.

[icemde]

Gray found himself falling silent at Natsu's reincarnation comment. In a past life, huh? It was a sweet sentiment, the idea that you will find those who are important to you once again, and Gray found himself considering letting that be the explanation. With how he was now, his existence in the guild might as well have been a past life, even with how recent it was.

❝ Who knows. Why are you so insistent that you know me though ??

That had always bothered Gray since realizing Natsu could see him. The other's consistent comments about recognizing Gray, knowing Gray, but always missing the mark. If Natsu truly remembered there wouldn't be this hesitation, but at the same time, if Natsu had truly forgotten like the spell was supposed to make him do, these comments wouldn't be so consistent.

[firefinding]

Natsu raised a brow at him. "Well what about you?" he asked. "Am I familiar to you?"

He crossed his arms behind his head, leaning back a bit where he sat. "That weird nagging feeling like you know something you just cant remember... It's really annoying, ya know?" Natsu's expression turned... different. Almost distant. "I remembered stuff I've forgotten before. And was told about stuff I'll probably never remember again. It's really weird. I don't wanna forget people anymore, you know?"

@ankhseramcursed my whole life has been filled with conflict and pain. not anymore. / ankhseramcursed ( from my post-alvarez, alive, free of the curse verse )

Natsu didn't reply immediately. He wasn't really sure how. It was a lot to take in. From the truth of his own existence to believing that in one swift move he and his apparent brother would die and now both of them were alive. Quietly sitting outside.

"What now then?" Natsu asked. He knew for himself, there was the guild, his friends. But for Zeref... he wasn't sure what one could do after all that. Natsu didn't have to live alone for over 400 years. Natsu wasn't subjugated to a life of loneliness and what could only be assumed as emotional agony for centuries. But on the other end, he didn't know this man. This man who was once his brother. He didn't know Zeref and in his personal opinion, Zeref didn't know him either. He knew a child version of him that Natsu wasn't even sure how much of that child was still him. Honestly... it all kinda gave him a head ache thinking about it.

 @icemde “This … hurts you.” 

Natsu stilled almost instantly. Before him stood the Fairy Tail's ice mage. In his hands, was the Book of END. On of the books edges already crumbling from even the tiniest of fire hitting it's side. Not even a full on blast as Gray had originally been dodging.

Natsu's instant pained reaction told Gray everything.

Natsu didn't wanna fight this guy. Even if they were on different teams here, he thought... he thought that maybe... Gray and the other members of Fairy Tail...

But he remembered Mard Geer's words. How he had chastised Natsu for getting too close to guild wizards. But they were all so nice. To Natsu, at least, humans and wizards really didn't seem all that bad. Sure some of them were. But these ones he liked. He liked getting to know them. He liked fighting alongside them. He liked drinking with them and laughing with them and he hated that it seemed in just one moment it was probably all gone.

Natsu didn't want to fight this guy... but Gray held Natsu's very life in his hands, and he couldn't trust anyone with that book.

If Gray was smart, and Natsu knew that he had his moments, he would realize that with one move, he could possibly kill, if not debilitatingly injure, the demon before him.

With a low, dark voice that even Natsu didn't realize he had he demanded, "Give me back my book."

[firefinding]

“You used to love that toy.” (Zeref)

Natsu didn't turn to the other at the words. He only continued to stare at the doll in his hand. It was clearly hand made with course and thin fabric. Whatever was left of it's stuffing poking out through the time-warn stitches. The dust and micro rubble that covered it easily sticking to Natsu's hands. A permanent imprint of his return.

"I'm surprised it's limbs didn't fall off after all this time," he mumbled. More to himself or just so he wasn't staying quiet for far too long. Not wanting to really acknowledge Zeref's words. Acknowledging the past he- they once had here was acknowledging a lot of things that Natsu avoided speaking allowed. Even knowing the truth he hesitated to speak them into existence.

"So... uh... why did you take me here again?" he finally asked.

They stood in the old, destroyed building. The earth slowly retaking it over time as the rubble and hints of past life all were covered in just as much foliage as it was dust. The house in a whole town of ruin and forgotten history. Death only more prevalent by the sight of things like kitchen ware, furniture, books, and even toys all being left to rot through time and earth. Whatever life was once here had dissipated many, many years ago.

Natsu wasn't even sure why he agreed to come. He still wasn't fully comfortable around Zeref. Especially not alone. After the battle things were strange. He was ready to put an end to the evil wizard even if that meant bringing an end of his own. Only for the world to be saved and the both of them keeping their lives.

🩹

❝YOU KNOW, I CAN DO this myself.❞ Erza grimaces, feeling him dab her wounded shoulders.

          This is a rare instance for the both of them. Natsu tending to her injuries. However, he's insistent on doing this for her. It's usually the other way around. She's always the one who patches him up and scolds him in the process. Wendy is out of commission after using an excessive amount of magic, so they have to manually tend to their injuries for the time being.

          ❝You're very heavy-handed,❞ she grumbles. ❝Keep this up or you're going to lose your hand.❞ She scrunches her nose as she issues the threat glibly.

based on x || @firefinding

[firefinding]

Natsu only let out a humored breath. But his face with still serious as he concentrated on keeping his hands still enough to clean and wrap the injury to the best of his abilities.

He knew he was heavy handed and tried to be light with his grip and force. "I know that but you don't gotta. That's why we're a team," he replied. "'Sides, you've patched me up more times than I can count," he added with a chuckle. "Tell me if I press too hard."

[icemde]

@firefinding asked : “What can I do?”

HIS EARS WERE STILL RINGING AS THE WORLD FINALLY RETURNED TO FOCUS. squeezing his eyes shut, gray desperately tried to push the memory further away from the front of his mind before feeling something warm rest against his arm. lifting his gaze, gray released a shaky breath of relief at the sight of natsu in front of him. straining his ears, gray tried to hear exactly what the dragon was saying, only really making out the tail end of the statement.

❝ C-Can you just... I just... please, stay.

[firefinding]

Natsu was almost taken aback by the sight. Gray's voice was soft and he hesitated to mentally describe it as almost broken. Clearly it was something up. He didn't know exactly what brough on this but the least he could do was help.

"Yeah," he nodded. Keeping his hand on Gray's shoulder in hope to keep the other grounded and aware. He shuffled in a way so to comfortably sit next to the ice mage, still keeping his hand to him. "What... what's goin' on?"

[firefinding]

"What the fuck did I walk back into..."

[firefinding]

@originmade “I brought you some water.”  (From Wendy)

Natsu looked up at the younger dragon, not expecting to see her. Somehow he hadn't even smelt her arrival and was caught off guard by her presents.

"Oh," he let slip. Trying not to seem so surprised, he pushed himself up from the patch of grass he was laying in, taking the drink from her offering hand. "Thanks," he nodded to her gratefully before taking a long swig. He stayed eerily silent, clearly still lost in whatever post training thoughts had caught up to him from the dirt below.

[firefinding]

@halphcs “Count your breaths with me, okay? Ready? One, two, three, four…”

Natsu tried to hear past the beating of his heart. The sound was amplified through his body from his chest to his ears like a storm. Raging and pounding. He tried to do as he was told but for some reason breathing of all things felt near impossible.

He tried to force himself to suck in a breath past what could only be described as hyperventilation. Anything to get real air into him and to his brain. When he got the breath in he forced out a hard, "One." Breathing out and sounding like the words were painful to get out. He kept counting with each breath, the task becoming less and less of a labor as he went along with Mira's instructions.

His hands rested on his knees to keep him semi-standing. Still catching his breath as he felt his heart rate- while still loud -becoming more manageable as he went.
