He stared upward at the rise of history. With every fixed fragment that stood as a reminder of the time which had passed, he could scarcely see the past which had originally been nothing. A small little town, grown and flourished like a meager sprout roused from the obscured earth. Quickly, perhaps if not unsettling was the limit of life being chased. From a wolf nipping at the heel of a mule, it left everything that surrounded him in the rush. Some only aware when the moment was falling short.
Natsu frowned, discovering the horrible feeling that he’d been subject to while pondering so deeply into the extent of living. Even now it was a bizarre idea that those of humankind were curious over losing themselves to simply become immortal. A horrible thing, but he knew, no he thought in the present that it was simply more than what a human could ever portray as horrible. Slowly, and at an unbearable pace he could feel his body grow heavy with dread. If only it were that easy to fool the mind, if he only he could become like the rest. His features were strained by discomfort, the warmth of a hand resting at the edge of his upper arm.
A startling touch-- his astonishment from being brought into reality settled on an obviously afflicted looking individual. “E-Excuse me… are you alright?” amusing as it was when the girl appeared close enough to descend into a stupor over the every uncertain sway. Natsu kept the blankness and the lack of exposure to how he’d truly been feeling, as much as the approach had been a thankful one. “Shouldn’t I be asking you that question?” there was a steeper weight on the left, for just a second he’d been subject to the fear of this still nameless woman collapsing. Instead the hands gestured, frantically as if in suspense over a thrilling show.
“Ah… forgive me… you looked sad,” she’d mutter, somehow managing to obtain balance, “I’m unable to go into work today, our shop just over there-- the plushie one… we wouldn’t mind an extra to go and test out the toys. I thought it might make you happy.” the inside of his chest knotted and fluttered, teasing the cords of his heart like a thousand butterflies. The courtesy of the stranger was hardly the key. “You said plushie, right?” the twinkle in the eyes was apparent, nothing worth the heed of the lady who was more certain that she wanted to lay down. “Y-Yes…” on the immediate reply, Natsu was already withdrawing from the company and towards the door of the shop. Quickly he stepped inside. It was warm, but not so warm it would’ve been unbearable. There was a calming scent doused into the entirety of the space, each shelving and carpeted fragment of flooring layered in the absolute perfection of a plushie.
“This is… the best!” laughter trailed at the end of his excitable words, approaching the first and largest one. Carefully he took it into his hands, bringing it close enough that he’d managed to share a passionate hug with what had been created as an immense teddy bear. “How soft… ah… I wish I could stay here forever.” of course believing that he’d been isolated in this shop, he wasn’t going to allow anyone to ruin such a brilliant moment. As much as the whole picture might’ve been rather embarrassing.
