You were lulled awake by a strangely comforting feeling of warmth. You nuzzled into the feeling but felt no body to nuzzle other than underneath you. So you stayed there as you felt an unnatural amount of warmth that you thought was your mother. You were wishing that the horrid events that plagued your dreams were just a nightmare and that she really did love and care about you. All that was dashed when you tried to move and found a harsh shot of pain reel through your body from the places you remember being chewed on. To the pain and memory you started to whimper as you were too weak to cry but not too weak to open your eyes and see where you were.
“Gramps, you got to do something. Can’t you see he’s in pain!” said the face that was just above you.
“Natsu look!” interrupted a voice coming from a blue flying cat. “He’s waking up.” The boy looked at you as you looked at him. You had stopped whimpering for a moments to observe the apparent human that held you.
His face was intense yet innocent looking and with a strange familiarity to it with black eyes and rose colored hair. Besides the clothes he had on you could smell his scent. It almost smelled like he was part dragon, almost. Lastly you noticed flames coming from around you. Not able to move, you looked with your eye that was still on the side that was lying on his hand to see the flames were coming from his skin. You didn’t know how a human could do this and every part of your mind was wondering why as well but you took it as a sign that you were in good hands, both figuratively and literally.
“Hello little guy, are you feeling ok?” asked the human, that was called by the others, ‘Natsu’. You answered by nuzzling into his hand and whining some more. Your wounds had healed enough to not be a bother as far as bleeding but the pain was still very real as well as your hunger and sadness. But this ‘Natsu’ guy seemed nice and more importantly to your current situation, warm.
“Well Natsu, it looks like you were right for once.” Said another voice but you didn’t look as you were whimpering and whining into his hands as if they would provide more comfort than they were already giving. “Who’d have thought that dousing the poor thing in flames would help heal the little guy?”
“Indeed. Natsu seems strangely equipped to take care of the young dragon.” Said yet another voice, this one more aged and masculine than the others.
“But what do I do? He’s gotta eat something. I can hear his stomach growl from here.” Natsu asked worriedly.
“Well what do dragons eat?” Asked one of the other voices you heard before. But you couldn’t really pay attention at this point as you drifted off to sleep again. You were glad that you had been found by someone nice and at least partially a dragon, from the smell of him. You weren’t too sure about them being human and stuff like that but your thoughts were interrupted by another onslaught of nightmares as you slept, hoping for a relief soon.
