I Won't Lose You (Natsu x Reader)

Chapter 2: I'm Coming

Natsu didn't know what this guy was playing at, but was sure as hell gonna find out what he did to you. At this moment, enraged wasn't even near a fitting word to explain his emotions. He'd been living up to this day, and wasn't going to let it go to waste.

"Oh, she's fine! Just a little... hung up, is all!" Daylin chuckled madly, giving Natsu a toothy grin.

"What do you mean? Where is she?!" The salmon-haired Mage yelled, beginning to grow impatient.

"Do not freight, my little Salamander! Follow this map, and the one you seek shall be awaiting! But keep in mind, friendship may only unlock this map!" Then, with a snap of his fingers, he was gone, and a rolled up piece of paper was laying in Natsu's clenched hands.

He unraveled the parchment, only to see that it was completely blank. Was this guy messing with him? He had no clue. But Natsu wasn't in the mood for any crude and childish games.

'But he better not be lying and not actually know where (Y/n) is! This dumb map better lead me to her!' He thought to himself, glaring at the parchment.

Just then, after the thought, a piece of the map appeared onto the paper. Natsu's expression lit up a little more at the sudden event. That piece of the map just brought him that much closer to finding you. At long last, after all these years... he finally had a lead.

Without thinking, he dashed off in the direction in which the map said, Happy trailing behind him.

'Don't worry (Y/n)! I'm coming!'

~Time Skip~

The two at last made it to the location the map directed them too, but then Natsu pieced that he needed to unlock the next section of the map. But how? He began trying to recall what Daylin had said previously. Only Friendship can unlock this map? Yeah, he was pretty sure that was it. But what did he mean by that, exactly?

"This is stupid! Why not just give me a whole map like a normal person?!" He fumed, eyebrows furrowing.

"Maybe he isn't a normal person! Maybe he's a monster or demon or something!" Happy said, making claws like a giant beast, just to prove his over exaggeration.

Natsu sweat dropped, and sighed; but it was in fact a possibility.  In a huff, Natsu placed his hand on his chin in thought, reminiscing back to his confrontation with Daylin.

"He better not have hurt her... Or when I get there, he'll regret whatever he did!" He stated to himself, clenching a tight fist.

Then the next map piece appeared. Natsu had no clue how or why, but he was damn grateful, that's for sure.

"I seriously don't get how this is happening!! It's super creepy!" He shrieked, shaking the map in question, his harsh gaze never faltering.

"What did you do before the first part appeared on the map?" Happy quizzed, raising an eyebrow as he hovered beside Natsu, glancing down upon the map's contents.

"I thought of how the guy better actually know where (Y/n) is, and not just leading us farther away from her! Why?" Natsu replied in question, growing suspicious of Happy's inquiries.

"Then you just now said that he better not have hurt her, and then the next piece appeared. Think about it. Didn't Daylin say "Only Friendship can unlock the map"? And you've been thinking only friendly thoughts towards (Y/n)! Then—" Happy was abruptly cut short.
