Chapter 1: Gray's Secret Revealed?
It was a beautiful afternoon in Magnolia. A raven haired male was walking alone, hands in his olive green pants pockets. The June sun bounced off his pale skin, making him stand out in the crowd, especially since his short was nowhere to be seen. He wasn't worried about that though. He had other things to be worried about. He thought about his conversation with Cana not too long ago at the guild hall.
Flashback...
"Gray, you know you're going to have tell Natsu, right?" Cana asked.
"Yeah, I know Cana. I just don't know how I'm going to tell him." Gray replied, running a hand through his hair in frustration.
"You know, you/re an idiot sometimes." Cana chuckled.
A vein popped in Gray's forehead.
"What did you say?!"
"Tell him with what you do best. Tell him through a song. It shouln't be too hard, since you're the Ice Prince everyone raves about."
"Shh! Nobody can know about this yet. ESPECIALLY Natsu!" The raven said in a hushed voice.
"Alright alright. But you are going to tell him, right?" Cana gave a hard stare to Gray.
"Yeah yeah I will. I'm going to take a walk now. See ya." Gray waved to the brunette before turning on his heel towards the front door, only in his boxers.
"Before you go Gray. Your clothes." said Cana before drinking a whole keg of booze.
Gray looked down to see his clothes suddenly disappeared.
"AHH!" The raven jumped, and tried to look for his clothes that mysteriously disappeared.
End of flashback...
"Ahh... How am I going to write a song for Natsu? I mean, practically all of the songs I've written for him! Damn this is driving me insane!" He messed up his raven hair with his hands when a familiar voice made him stop walking altogether.
"Ah! Gray! There you are!" said a cappuccino haired woman as she stared running towards where he was in platinum colored pumps.
"Lisa! What are you doing here?" the raven asked as the woman known as Lisa stopped running, catching her breath.
"Well, look at the charts." She pulled out her iPad from her black handbag and showed Gray the song charts.
"Your single was a hit! It wasn't surprising though. I mean all of them turn out to be hits." she said with a smile
Gray looked at the screen and looked back at Lisa.
"...And you're telling me this, why?" the raven asked.
"You know what that means, right? All of the singles from this year were hits! It's time to go on another tour, Ice Prince~!" Lisa exclaimed, with a big smile on her face.
"SHHH! Not in front of everyone, please! And I can't do it right now, Lisa. I have other things to do before I go on the tour."
Lisa turned her head in curiosity.
"What could be more important than your fans?"
"My love life." Gray said blankly.
"Oh! I forgot to ask! Did you ask that special person yet~?" the brunette asked, eyes full of curiosity.
"Not yet. I have to tell that special person how I feel before I go on the tour, before it's too late. 10 years is long enough." The raven haired male said.
The brunette smiled to him.
"I hope you get the person you love, really I do. I see in your songs the emotions you haven't been able to tell this person for 10 years. Call me when you get things straightened out and you're ready to go on the tour. I have to get back to work. Jane!" the brunette waved goodbye as she walked back to her workplace.
"I guess I'll go back to the guild then..." The raven said with a sigh.
As he opened the doors to the guild, he saw Natsu sitting down, listening to music. Gray felt a blush creep up, but he tried to fight it down. After successfully winning, he walked over and sat next to the rosette. The raven wanted to start a conversation with Natsu, but didn't know what to talk about. Then he decided to ask about the activity he was doing.
"Oi Natsu. What song are you listening to?"
"..."
"Natsu~?" he lightly pushed his arm, since his eyes were closed.
"..."
Gray's eye twitched. He couldn't take getting ignored anymore. In one swift move, he punched the other male, making him fall onto the floor.
"What the fuck Gray! What was that for?!" Natsu yelled.
"I was trying to talk to you, but you were too busy listening to your music, kuzuboshi."
"Oh gomen." Natsu took the headphones off and put the around his neck, after getting up. "So what did you wanna talk about?"
"I was wondering what song you were listening to. You seemed to be really immersed in it... that's all." the raven said without looking at the other male, knowing if he did, he'd be blushing like a mad man,
"Oh! It's a new single one of my favorite artists released just recently. Wanna listen?" the rosette asked.
"Ok... I guess..." The raven shrugged.
Natsu took the red and black headphones off his neck and passed them to Gray. He put the headphones on and listened to the music.
"Kimi wa oujo boku wa meshitsukai (You're the queen and I'm your servant)
Unmei wakatsu aware na futago (We're a pitiable pair of twins separated by our fate)
Kimi wa mamoru sono tame naraba (I'm willing to become evil for you)
Boku wa aku ni datte natte yaru (If only so that I could protect you)
Moshimo umare kawereru tame naraba (If we could be reborn in our next life)
Sono toki wa matasonde de" (Then please play with me again.)
Gray's eyes widened.
'Wha- He's a fan of MY songs! Now how am I going to tell him the truth?' the raven asked himself.
Natsu gently shaked the other male with worry on his face.
"Gray? Is everything alright?"
The raven snapped back to reality and nodded.
"Y-yeah." He too off the headphones and handed them back to the rosette. "It's just that the song is so... sad in a sense."
The other male nodded his head in agreement.
"Yeah, it kinda is. This song, "Servant of Evil," tells a story of two twins that were separated by the adults and their parents. One became queen of the land, while the other miraculously became her servant. He does everything for her, even becomes her to protect her. There was one time when the servant went to another land and he fell in love with this green haired lady, the queen of that land. The other queen though, the servants sister, wanted her dead, so he killed the other queen even though he loved her. After that, all of the people living in the green queen's country were furious, and they wanted this queen dead. The servant wanted to protect her though, so he gave her his clothes and he died in her place. It's totally different from the other songs he's done, but I just love how emotional it is."
"Ah... Is that... the new single by Ice Prince?" Gray asked slowly.
"Yeah! Wait.. do you like his songs too?" Natsu asked.
"Y-yeah! They're so... moving. And a lot of the inspirational songs bring me up, like "Try" and "FT"," Gray said.
"I know! Those songs are the ones I think of when I'm about to give up on things..." the rosette replied.
Gray's sweat dropped.
"You don't give up on things though... not even close, baka."
Natsu gave his signature smile and scratched the back of his head.
"Heh heh... it doesn't seem like that with me."
Gray gave in and smiled back.
'Conversations like this are nice. If only I could tell you those three words though. You probably don't even like me like that, but I still want to tell you how I feel about you.' the raven thought.
'I want to tell you how I feel Gray, I really do. But I'm afraid that if I tell you, then out friendship would be broken. I don't want that to happen, but I do want to tell you this...' Natsu thought.
'Natsu...'
'Gray...'
'I love you.' the duo thought.
Juvia walked around the guild and found the person she was looking for.
"Ah! Gray-sama! There's something Juvia needs to tell you. Do you think you can talk with her for a little bit?"
Gray sighed. "...I guess. Talk to you later, Natsu." he waved goodbye to the rosette.
"Yeah... Later." The other male waved back.
Gray followed Juvia out of the guild hall. She looked around their surroundings. When she determined it was safe, she spoke.
"Juvia know your secret, Gray-sama."
"What secret? I have no clue what you're talking about, Juvia." Gray replied.
"Is that so, Ice Prince?"
The raven's eyes widened in shock. "How did you find out, Juvia?!" he demanded.
"Juvia follows you wherever you go, Gray-sama. I heard that Lisa person talk about your new single and the tour. Now, if you don't want your secret to be revealed, the go out with me. You never acknowledge my feelings. Now you're going to have to."
Gray refused. "NO. I've told you many times that I'm already in love with somebody else. Don't you get that?"
Juvia turned towards the guild hall. "Then Juvia guesses that it's time they know Gray-sama's secret."
Juvia was about to walk in, when the raven said, "Wait. If I go out with you, you won't tell anybody about this, right?"
Juvia nodded. "That's right. Juvia never breaks her promises."
After some thinking, the raven haired male sighed. "Fine. I'll...go out... with you..."
"Arigatougozaimashita, Gray-sama!" Juvia hugged Gray very tightly when Natsu was walking out of the guild hall. The big smile on his face disappeared very quickly.
'So, Gray likes Juvia after all...'
Juvia realized Natsu was there. "Natsu-kun, is there something wrong?"
Natsu snapped back to reality and shook his head. "Ah-no. I'm just going home. See you tommorrow, Gray, Juvia."
"Goodnight, Natsu-kun." Juvia replied.
"Night, Natsu." Gray replied.
As Natsu slowly made his way home, tears started falling down his cheeks and onto the floor. Happy, who was nowhere to be seen for the whole day, was now back resting on the dragon slayer's pink-colored hair.
"Natsu, what's wrong?" The exceed asked with worry.
"I couldn't do it, Happy. Today I couldn't do it. And now Gray's going out with Juvia." The rosette cried.
"You can still tell him though." Happy said.
"It's too late, Happy. I've tried for 10 years, what makes you think that I'll be able to tell him tomorrow?" Natsu countered.
"You should ask Lucy tomorrow. Girls are typically very attentive with love lives. Maybe she could be of some help." Happy suggested.
The rosette wiped away his tears and looked up to his flying friend. "Maybe... Thanks Happy."
GRAY, WALKING HOME...
Juvia asked Gray if he could walk her home (More like pleaded...), so he dropped her off at her home and started walking towards his apartment, bangs shadowing his eyes.
'Natsu... I couldn't tell you again today. Now to protect this stupid secret of mine, I'm going out with somebody I don't even love, and I'm hurting you instead. Gomen. Hountouni...'
As soon as Gray got back to his apartment, he searched for staff paper and a pencil. After those items were found, he sat down in front of his desk and turned on the lamp that was on there. He looked at the picture on the desk. It was a picture of Natsu and Gray when they were younger. They just finished their first mission together, and they actually didn't destroy the place. Gray gave a small smile as he wrote on the title line of the staff paper, "Wanted."
"I'll make you feel wanted Natsu. I promise I will."
