I FUCKING HATE MY LAPTOP! ARGH! No seriously, I wrote so much for this fic, and then I went to remove a tab from my favourites bar, and then when I went to remove another, it just closed down and of course I hadn't saved it cause I didn't know it was gonna be a massive prick today, and so the whole thing got deleted. So, since Ii really can't be bothered to rewrite the entire thing out again, I'm just gonna go with what I had as an idea in the first place. Title comes from a song that I was listening to while writing this. Nowhere Fast by Boys Will Be Boys.


The guild doors flew open with a slam, surprising everyone inside, as the cold winter air seeped in along with the aura of their resident ice mage, followed by Lamia Scale's ice mage. Gray was, without a doubt, pissed. Beyond pissed. Lyon, on the other hand, looked like he was about to pass out from a heart attack. "Gray, listen it's not-"

"It's not what I think? Oh yes Lyon, of course".

"Gray-"

"I don't wanna hear it. Not after that".

"Would you listen to me for a moment?"

"Why should I when you're only gonna try worming your way out of this? Don't try playing me for a fool Lyon!"

"I'm not doing that. You know I would never toy with your heart like that. Just let me explain".

"What's there to even explain?! I saw you with some...some stupid whorish slut, in my own bed, and you think there's something to explain about how I've taken that as a misunderstanding? And don't give me a shit talk about how you're using her to help yourself get better at pleasuring me, because we both know that that's absolute bullshit! So go on Lyon, explain to me why the hell I found you and that bitch the way I did!"

The whole room was silent. Everyone knew Lyon had taken a whole week away from Lamia Scale to try and get Gray to love him back. And in the end he had eventually succeeded in his task, resulting in the two becoming a couple and living together. Though Gray had always claimed his feelings for Lyon were only a quarter romantic, so he wasn't going to break from a broken heart if the time ever appeared. Right now both boys were sweating, one in anger, one in fear of losing the angered one. Natsu and Juvia watched Gray intently, never having seen him this riled up before.

"I'm waiting Lyon...or do you not have an excuse this time?"

The air was heavy and thick. Gray's breathing was calming but still harsh as he glared at the other ice mage who he thought was supposed to be his lover. Lyon shuddered a little and swallowed thickly before exhaling. "I...I might've gotten a little drunk at some party Lamia Scale was throwing and then probably wandered somewhere to find you and I don't know, ended up in bed with some girl. But I'm sorry, alright? It's not like it meant anything to me".

"Of course it didn't, because it never does. This isn't the first time you've done this Lyon. Perhaps in your next relationship, if you ever get one, you should remember who it is you're actually dating at the time".

"Wait, what do you mean 'perhaps in my next relationship'? Gray, I told you it meant nothing and I was looking for you in the first place!"

"I've had enough Lyon. I'm done with having you pretend you care, okay? I know you've never truly cared about me. You've always wanted me gone, so now you have a chance to get as far away from me as you possibly can. You don't have to pretend anymore Lyon, so just stop".

"Gray, don't do this over some stupid mistake I made. Of course I care about you, why wouldn't I? You'll always be-"

"I'll always be the person who murdered our teacher, isn't that right?"

"Not this again Gray, we sorted this..."

"You have no idea what I went through for 10 years after you said what you said and just left me".

"I was angry and upset, I didn't understand at the time".

"And you still don't. Not truly. I thought that if I gave you a chance, perhaps I could put it behind me for good. But no, because you had to go and screw it up again, didn't you?! You always do this Lyon, and I'm sick to death of hearing you lie to me again, and again, and again".

Lyon sighed heavily before turning and walking out, "I'm sorry...I never wanted to hurt you..."


Well that was...intense...? Heh...oh God what did I just write? Why do I like torturing characters so much? Anyway...if you haven't seen it yet then there is a notice on my profile about me going on hiatus or something of the sort. And I'll see you next chapter :D
