'It's dark, everything around me is black, I don't even know where I am anymore…'

-Earlier-

"Geez Nastu! Can't you leave me alone for a day!?" A certain ice mage was scowling at the dragon slayer.

"C'mon and fight me! I'm all fired up" Natsu pumped his fist towards the ice mage with a grin almost too wide for his face.

"Fine!" A fist came flying into Natsu's face knocking him back a few feet.

The pink haired male jumped back to his feet and ran at the raven haired male, fist raised which collided with the raven's face and then stomach, knocking him to the floor with a grunt. Natsu was about to gloat about how he won and tease Gray for falling so fast until a blur of raven hair rushed past Natsu's face, then he suddenly felt pain in his own stomach due to Gray punching him right back.

Suddenly the pinkette was on his back staring up at the grin on the raven's face. "Looks like I win, flame head" he turned to walk away.

Natsu layed there for a worryingly long time before getting up, he didn't feel too good right now and he had to run to the guilds rest room before he tossed his lunch all over the floor.

Gray took notice of the odd behavior of the dragon slayer and decided to ask Erza and Lucy about it but when he walked over to their table they were nowhere to be seen, the only one at their table was happy so Gray decided to ask him instead. "Hey, happy do you know what's up with flame brain?"

"What do you mean Gray?"

"He was acting a little weird after our fight, he wouldn't get up right away after I beat him-" he was suddenly cut off by happy yelling

"HE LET YOU BEAT HIM!?"

"Yeah, I guess, then he ran into rest room, he's been in there a while, is he sick?"

Happy thought for a moment before shaking his head "I don't think so, he seemed fine this morning, I'll go check on him…" he opened his wings and went to check on his friend.

Gray sighed and sat down, 'If Natsu is actually sick, it kind of makes me feel bad for punching him in the stomach so hard…'

After a nice few minutes Happy and Natsu emerged from the rest room but the pinkette has his head down so his hair could shield his face to an extent, but Gray could see that some color had vanished from the dragon slayer.

Natsu walked past Gray rather slowly, still not looking up "I'm heading home" and with a wave he walked out of the guild to make his way back to his house.

Gray watched the duo leave with a somewhat shocked expression.

Natsu and happy arrived back at their house, he went inside and then straight to his room, he basically collapsed on his bed and was out like a light. Happy watched him with a worried expression on his face 'Maybe he is sick..but he never gets sick…'

The next day Natsu didn't come to the guild right away, Gray shrugged it off at the thought of the Dragon Slayer being lazy or fishing with Happy. The girls came up to Gray and sat down at the table with him. "Hey Gray, have you seen Natsu today? Lucy spoke up.

"No, the flame head is probably out fishing with Happy or something"

"Yes perhaps, I found a job for all of us, would you mind go fetching Natsu for me?" Erza gave him a look which stated 'go find him or you'll be in trouble' but before the raven could protest, the dragon slayer walked through the guild doors looking the same as ever with a wide grin spread across his face.

"Oi! Flame brain, Get over her!"

"What did you call me! Ice Princess!"

"What? Are you deaf? I said get over here ya idiot!"

"You wanna go!?"

"Bring it!"

Before anyone could actually initiate a brawl Erza sent a death glare towards them "Boys...Are you fighting?"

"No Ma'am…" they both said in unison as the shook from her glare.

"Good now Natsu come, we have a job."

"Awesome! I'm Fired up now! Let's go!"

"WHAAT! We're going to be on the death machine for 5 hours!" Natsu whined before curling in the fetal position holding onto his stomach and groaned.

"You're so pathetic you know that"

"Shut...up...Ice...p-prick"

Gray scoffed but felt a bubble of panic wash over him when he heard nothing coming from the dragon slayer, No complaining or groaning. He looked down and noticed that this time he had passed out without being punched. His eyebrows scrunched together in concern but he just looked back out the window.

The mission was a success and Natsu didn't even wreck the place. They decided to rest up in a hotel before heading back to Magnolia.

They got two rooms, Erza handed a set of keys to Gray and then made her way to her own room with Lucy following.

Gray grumbled about having to share a room with Natsu but made his way to the room with him trailing behind. Once settled into the room Natsu suddenly jumped up from the bed and made his way to the rest room "I'm taking a shower". He then shut the door pretty hard.

The ice mage layed down on his bed and waited for Natsu to come out so he could shower as well. When the water turned off Gray got up and grabbed a towel.

As he waited for the pinkette to come out he heard muffled coughs coming from behind the door. He raised an eyebrow in confusion but with curiousness he moved closer to the door and he heard Natsu trying to conceal his coughs that just wouldn't stop, and sometimes he heard him heaving which worried the ice mage a little. He knocked on the door and it suddenly went quiet "Oi! Flame head, hurry up!"

Nothing came out of Natsu's mouth to yell back at him, instead he just unlocked the door and came out with only a towel wrapped around his hips. Gray took one look at the dragon slayer and a blush crept across his face, he looked at Natsu's hair which was dripping wet and kind of flattened along with the hair across his forehead, his eyes then betrayed him and looked lower at the toned body, he tried looking away but his eyes kept betraying him and dared to look even lower. His blushed deepened and he rushed into the rest room to shower quickly dismissing the thoughts that came to his mind.

Gray finished up in the rest room and went back out drying his hair with a towel. Natsu was laying on his own bed asleep. He had left the light on for Gray. The raven looked over at the other male and suddenly realized that he somehow looked even paler than himself. He furrowed his brows but decided to just go to sleep instead of waking him up to ask about it. He lid down after turning the light off and soon dozed off to sleep.

The next day the team all made their way back to Magnolia, although Natsu had passed out on the train again. Gray had to carry him off the train and back to his house due to Erza's orders.

On the way to Natsu's house he woke up "Hey! Put me down you popsicle!"

"Oh you're finally awake huh ash for brains!" he was just walking up the path to Natsu's house when he had woken up. "We're at your house now so shut up!"

To his surprise Natsu really did stop talking and squirming. He let the dragon slayer down on the ground with a thud then turned and walked away.

The pinkette stood up and made his way to the kitchen to get something for him and Happy to eat.

After stuffing his face he felt sickness wash over him again, he got up to go lay down but didn't make it far before having to hold onto something just to keep him standing up, he gave in after a while and slid down the wall, at the same time happy flew out and saw him passing out "NATSU!"
