Natsu has never skipped classes or anything like this before, but he couldn't handle being around these kids. They always whisper mean stuff to him-always stare at him- and yet never talk to him directly. They didn't want to know who he is as a person-just a person to mock and belittle. And Natsu didn't want to endure that. So during lunch-Natsu went walked to the grocery store by himself to grab himself a snack despite the rules saying he can't leave school grounds he did anyways. He will say he has been out of school for a while, and he forgot that rule. Which isn't entirely untrue, he has been out of school for a while now, Natsu walked out of the school gates and didn't look back, he has to come back before the final bell rang so nobody thinks he got kidnapped or anything.
Natsu's walk to the store was brief and a lot shorter than he thought-than he had hoped. Natsu bought a hot snack for himself and a hot cup of coffee. Despite it being early summer and quite warm for most people- he still thought it was cold as he shivers from a warm breeze once he steps outside. Natsu sat down on a nearby bench and silently ate his lunch away from his tormenters at school. Natsu watched the nearby yards curiously. Natsu made himself comfy on the bench by brought up his knees to his chest and his feet under him to have them securely on the bench.
Natsu nibbled away at his food as he watches two older women pluck weeds and prune a tree together. Natsu enjoyed his snack and was now sipping away at his coffee. He brought the cup close to his face past his knees in a small ball of warmth and comfort. He let out a small sigh of comfort as he drinks his coffee. And sadly, before too long, it was all gone, and Natsu let out a sigh as the last of the liquids dribbled out. Natsu sat there with the empty cup in hand, before stretching out and moving to a nearby garbage can which was near those older women. Who soon took notice of him, one of them even let out a small gasp as they saw his face. Natsu instantly started playing with his dry hair on the scarred side before freezing when one of the older women spoke. "My what a handsome young man."
Natsu's cheeks flushed a pale pink as he stares at the woman who he realized the one that gasped. Natsu responded with a speechless shake of his head, which caused the two women to chuckle at him. "My, young people are too modest these days, my granddaughter or grandson would be lucky to have you," the other woman spoke in a coy manner, which caused the boy's blush to deepen a shade darker. Natsu was speechless since he was never complimented or even called good enough for somebody's child.
Natsu smiles at the two women as he plays with his hair anxiously which got a reaction out of the two women, Natsu finally spoke, in his usual soft and gentle voice. "Thank you Oba-sans, I love your garden, it's lovely," the women didn't seem to expect his voice, but it made them even giddier, and after that, the duo of women coo'd and sprinkle the boy with compliments and answered his questions about the plants in the garden. It was a very lovely time.
But while Natsu enjoyed the time with the women, it came to an end when the distant bell of the school rang. And he quickly excused himself which the two of them understood and told him not to be a stranger, and to not get caught. Natsu couldn't help but think that older women really stop caring after reaching a certain age. While Natsu normally didn't trust or like talking to an older woman they seem very sweet and earnest, maybe it was the fact they weren't trying to boss him around or anything-just being nice people-nice strangers.
But Natsu couldn't think too long about the women as he had to stealthily make it back to school and for a moment he thought he got back safely to class as he crossed the front gates with no issue, it was only when he reached the front doors and a voice spoke up behind him which caused Natsu to freeze up as he.
"Where did you go, freak." It was his homeroom class president.
