It had been a normal winter's day; the snow was falling outside the large wooden door of a certain guild hall… The people inside the guild; Fairy Tail were also doing the normal routine. Gray fighting with Elfman, Cana drinking a barrel of wine, Levy was reading a romance novel, Gajeel was sitting next to Levy munching on some iron, while were talking about food Erza was enjoying a lovely Strawberry Cheesecake and finally Lucy was complaining about her rent money to Mira.
Natsu on the other hand was not doing his normal routine. He was sitting by the windows watching the snowflakes fall. One by one, they fell in such perfect rhythm… Nobody noticed the sad smile that was placed on top of his lips. Nobody noticed the way tears flowed down his cheeks. Nobody noticed the way he looked out to the snowy field of ice. Nobody, no one noticed until…
"Flame Head, hasn't annoyed anyone for a while. Has he?" Gray asked Elfman after their 'manly' battle. "Man actually, I don't think Natsu's said a manly thing all day!" Elfman replied. "Maybe he's sick or something" Gray said a little too loudly. This in turn started rumours to spread throughout the guild. 'I heard he's caught a fever' said a girl with red hair. 'Well I heard he's got, some rare illness' said another girl, back to the first. Then a girl with dark green hair looked at them both with a large smile and said 'I heard he's just love sick'. Then all the girls screamed 'Awww'. Gray couldn't take it; he couldn't take the annoying rumours anymore so he marched over, to were Natsu was seated and then he placed a hand on Natsu's shoulder…
The first thing Gray noticed was that Natsu's body temperature was cooler than normal. It was mid warm, not hot; like normal. Second thing he noticed was the way Natsu twitched, as if he was trying to hide some big secrete. So Gray; being the true idiot he is, decided to take that twitch as an opportunity to ask "What's up Flame Brain. You haven't said a word all day, are you sick or something?" In return Natsu looked away and whispered "Its n-nothing, Gray. I-I'm fine." That surprised Gray, instead of responding to his insult Natsu had called him by Name; that meant he was lying. "A-are you sure Natsu?" Gray accidently asked. He didn't mean to ask that, what he wanted to do was laugh it off; but for some reason, Gray was worried. He was worried, worried over the stupid Flame Head; of all people. "I-I'm fine. Really I am" Natsu sniffed. Natsu couldn't take much more of this. He didn't want anyone to know; he didn't want their worry or pity. He didn't want them to know…
Natsu stood, and wiped his face. Gray looked at him; his hand was still on Natsu's shoulder. Gray sore it… A small tear, fell from Natsu's eye. Natsu was about to take off, but Gray reached out and grabbed his wrist. "Natsu! What's going on, why are you crying?" Gray asked, somewhat mad; he wasn't mad at Natsu, he was mad at whoever made him cry. Everyone in the guild looked over to where Natsu and Gray were. Natsu looked down to the floor for a few seconds, then he tried to turn and run but Gray just tightened his hold. "Natsu, answer me" Gray whispered. He didn't want to hurt Natsu, but he needed to know. "Gray, don't force him" Erza demanded. She had been keeping an eye on the whole thing and was also rather surprised at Natsu's behaviour. It was at that moment, Natsu looked up at Gray; tears cascading down his face, but he was smiling. "W-what?" Gray asked. Natsu shook his head and looked back down. Then in one quick motion, Natsu ripped his wrist from Gray's hold and ran. He ran, and ran. He reached the door, pushed it open and ran out. "N-Natsu!?" Gray yelled after him. Gray had seen it and he was shocked, shocked at the amount of emotions that were on Natsu face; when he looked at him. Natsu's face held, loneliness, sadness, hurt, desperate and the majority was scared; Natsu was scared. Some of the emotions, Gray couldn't even name, but… But, the ones he could, shocked him. Finally someone spoke up "Gray, what happened?" Erza asked. "N-Natsu, he… Erza he… He was scared!" Gray exclaimed.
