Gray awakens one Saturday morning, today is his birthday. He gets up, makes his bed and then makes his way toward to bathroom to clean up. On his way to the bathroom he finds something on the table in his living room. It's was a present, wrapped in a pinkish paper and had a white ribbon on top. You could probably guess who that was from. It was from Natsu. His dragon self had found a way into his house to leave a present. Gray was surprised that someone had actually remembered. Considering no one really had remembered his birthday from the past years.

Before he had opening the present, he went to the bathroom to clean up. There, he had found another surprise. There was a note on the mirror which said " Meet me at the park under that tree we always hang out at, at 6. Remember to put your clothes on. -Dragneel" Reading this note made Gray's face turn a little bit pink. He was actually excited and couldn't wait for that night.

After he took a shower, brushed his hair, brushed his teeth and all that, he made his way back to the icing room where the present was located. He had carefully untied the ribbon, for he didn't want to ruin the beautiful string. Then he slowly unwraps the box. The box was decorated with the Fairy Tail sign. He opened the box. Inside the box was a book. No, it wasn't a book, it was a photo album. Gray opened it and was astonished at what Natsu had put together. But, it wasn't finished. There was still blank pages. Another note lay in the empty space.. "Save this space for tonight. -Dragneel" Now Gray has become really excited for what was going to happen tonight.

A couple hours had passed. It was now three o'clock and Gray was having a hard time choosing what to wear. Whether to wear something fancy. Or his normal clothing style. After hours and hours of debating what to wear, he finally made up his mind to wear his normal clothing.

While waiting for the time to come, he was thinking of all the possible things that await him at six o'clock. Gray first fantasized about if Natsu just called him out to fight again and letting hi win because of his birthday. Another scenario that he had imagined was he had setup a meal to eat and he had cooked himself.. He couldn't believe what he was imagining at the moment. And he hadn't realized how long he was daydreaming. He had a crush on him for only a little while now and this time would have been the best time to tell him.. Might as well tell him now.. He thought.

He had flipped through the album many times before it became 6 o'clock. He out the album away, put his shoes on and went to the park where he was supposed to meet Natsu. It was only six o'clock, but it is already dark.

Gray walked along the lit up sidewalk, hands in his pocket and hood over his head. He kept walking at a normal pace until he got to the entrance of the park. From there he was able to see a lit lantern underneath the tree that he was supposed to meet Natsu under, but there was no sign of him. Gray walked all around the tree, still no sign of him. He sat down on the blanket that lantern was set on. Then something moved in the tree. Natsu came falling out.

"Damnit, stupid branch," he said.

"Natsu..," Gray exclaimed with a surprised face.

"For a minute there, I thought you weren't going to show up."

"Why would I miss something that you invited me to? You're the only one who remembered my birthday," Gray said as he put his head down to hide the blush.

"Why would I forget your birthday? To me, this is the most important date of the year," Natsu replied with a huge grim on his face.

That statement had made him blush even more.

"T-Thanks," he stuttered.

Natsu had picked up the lantern and folded the blanket. Then, he took Gray's hand and clenched on tight. He had something else planned. That was just a meeting place.

Natsu had dragged him to an unfamiliar building. Gray had no idea where they were going. They went into the building and went to the second floor to Apartment 2. He had invite Gray in and immediately he saw a candlelit dinner.. Gray stared in awe.

"It's not much, but it was the best I could do," Natsu had said scratching the back of his head and starting to blush.

Natsu pulled the seat for Gray to sit, then made his way to his seat directly across him. It wasn't that big of a table, so they were still pretty close to each other. In the middle of the table lay the candle, and the food that Natsu had prepared. He had prepared a fancy dinner that Gray had never seen before. Gray thought it smelt and looked delicious, thought he didn't know what it was. So, they started eating. Everything was silent..Until Natsu spoke up.

"Hey, can I tell you something…?"

Gray looked confused. "Yeah. What is it Natsu?"

Natsu's face started getting red.

"Natsu, why is your face turning red?"

"I… I love…you.." He finally managed to finish his sentence.

"Natsu.." Gray's face started getting really red too.

He got up while Natsu was looking down, went over to him and grabbed his arm to stand up. After that, he had pulled him into an hug. Gray had started to cry and Natsu felt his warm tears drop onto his shoulder.

" Why are you crying?" Natsu asked in confusion.

"Because I didn't have the courage to confess, but you did."

Natsu was really surprised to his response. Natsu has liked him for the longest time ever. He doesn't even remember when he started liking him, but his feelings have grown so much, that he couldn't contain it anymore.

They hugged each other and cried together. Then after 5 minutes, Gray backed away and stared into Natsu's eyes. He glanced at Natsu's lips, tempted to make contact. But, it seemed as if Natsu read his mind, because Natsu leaned in and made the move.
