Gray sniffed before peering down to see he had a huge hard- on to be proud on but ignored it. He looked at the calendar before bursting into tears. It was that day, the day Natsu died…
Happy was awoken by the sad cries of the raven. Happy sighed sadly and got up to go comfort the raven, knowing how hard it was on him. Gray had nearly killed himself many times to be with the one he loved. Happy sighed as he opened the door and flew over to the bed to see Gray clutching the white muffler of his best friend. Tears rolled down the cat's cheeks as he moved to hug him. Gray blinked at the cat before hugging him back tightly. "Happy I miss him…" Gray sniffed as the cat nodded.
"I know Gray, I miss him too." He said and patted the raven's head. "You should try and sleep until morning" He said as the raven nodded, knowing that he should or else he'd be super tired. He sighed and snuggled back down into his bed.
"Happy can you stay here until I fall asleep?" Gray asked. "I just can't bear to be alone right now." He said as the cat nodded.
"Of course Gray, I'll be here when you wake up." He said, reassuring the raven as he nodded and tried to sleep, clutching the white muffler to his chest, nuzzling it slightly. Happy sighed and laid in between Gray's pillow and Natsu's, knowing Gray would kill him if he touched any of Natsu's stuff, he didn't want to lose the dragon slayer's smell as well as his presence.
Gray woke up in the morning to find Happy still asleep next to him. He smiled slightly before getting up to take a shower then got dressed, wrapping the muffler tightly around his neck before noticing the cat wake up. "Oh hey Happy…" Gray said, sadly.
"Gray have some breakfast before you leave." The blue cat said, rubbing his eyes. The raven nodded before picking up his bag, putting everything he'd need into it and slung it over his shoulder before moving to the kitchen to have something to eat then grabbed the flowers on the bench and left.
He trudged along the streets of Magnolia, a few people seeing him and wondered why he was so down before remembering what happened on this day a year ago. He sighed before jumping slightly when he was engulfed in the warm arms of Mira. "I'm so sorry Gray…" She said as Gray hugged her back, a few more tears spilling down his cheeks.
"It's ok Mira, it's not your fault, its mine." He said as Mira pouted.
"Just be careful ok?" She asked as he nodded before moving to the Magnolia cemetery. He sniffed again, hearing a few peoples say sorry or pat him on the back. He just moved past them before reaching his lovers grave. He stare at it before dropping to his knees and sobbed loudly, hitting the soil in front of the tomb stone.
"I'm such a fuckin' idiot!" He yelled before hitting the ground again. "I'm so sorry for everything I did that day Natsu…" He sobbed before feeling two pairs of warm arms around him and saw red and blonde long hair in his face. He sniffed again before turning around to face them and hugged them tightly. They both comforted Gray as he let his emotions out.
"Gray we all know that this wasn't yours or Natsu's fault!" Lucy said as Gray sighed.
"Yes it was."
"No it wasn't!" Erza roared, Gray not even flinching. "We both know that you would have done the same in Natsu's situation." She said as the raven played with the ring on his finger. "Gray are you even listening?" She asked.
-Flashback-
Gray walked into the guild, his hands in his pockets as he walked straight over to the request board. He stared at the board, his eyes flickering between each mission before finding one that had good pay and was pretty close by. It was a mission to defeat three monsters that was terrorising a nearby town. Gray saw that a few people had died from it but decided it was worth the challenge, he needed the money anyway. He walked over to the bar and smiled at Mira. "Hey Mira." He said.
"Good morning Gray, where's Natsu?" She asked as she took the paper from him. "You two are usually unsepreable." She said, making the raven blush lightly.
"Natsu's still at home, sleeping. He looked so peaceful this morning that I didn't want to bother him." He said as Mira chuckled and stamped his paper before giving it back to him.
"Ahh speak of the devil, here comes Natsu now." She said as the ice mage grinned and turned around to be glomped by the pinkette.
"Gray!" Natsu squealed, hugging him tightly and kissed him deeply.
Gray chuckled and kissed him back, hugging him close to his body. "Hello sexy." He said, smiling.
"I missed you Gray." He said as Gray smiled.
"Missed you too babe." He said before smacking the fire mage's ass, making the pinkette squeak. Natsu glared playfully at him before kissing him lightly then hopped down and smiled at him. Gray smiled back at him after he kissed him back and held his hand. "Oh Natsu, I got a new job, do you wanna do it with me?" He asked as he handed the pinkette the paper.
Natsu took it from him and read it, his face falling. Gray frowned at this. "No… Gray you shouldn't go on this mission." He said, looking up at him with sad eyes.
Gray frowned more and hugged him lightly. "Why not?" He asked.
"Just don't, trust me please." He said, hugging him back.
"Babe I trust you with my life but I don't think this mission is that dangerous."
"Yes it is Gray, people have died trying to get rid of these things!" Natsu yelled making the ice mage jumped and stare wide eyed at his lover. Everyone gasped, the couple have never fought this much since they had gotten married.
"Natsu, sweetie, it'll be fine and it's not that far away from here, I'll be back before you know it." He said before kissing Natsu lightly and moved to leave. Natsu didn't kiss him back and grabbed his wrist, stopping him from leaving.
"If you go I won't love you anymore!" He yelled, regretting what he said but he couldn't let the raven go. Gray froze and stared at him before snatching his hand back from the pinkette.
"Is that how you feel about me Natsu?" He asked, glaring at him as the pinkette flinched and looked down, muttering something. "Natsu Dragneel Fullbuster!" Gray roared making nearly everyone jump. "Look at me when you're talking to me!" He yelled.
"I said I don't care about you anymore!" He yelled back, not knowing what to say so his mouth just said things for him. Gray froze, a few tears slipping down his cheeks.
"Fine if you feel that way about me I'll just go on the mission anyway!" Gray huffed before leaving and reached the door before looking back at his lover. "I still love you Natsu…" He said before leaving. Natsu watched him leave before dropping to his knees and sobbed his heart out, everyone gasping and talking to each about what just happened. Mira sighed and went over to Natsu to comfort him.
"Mira I can't let him go… If he goes I'll die…" He said as the white haired mage frowned.
"What do you mean Natsu?" She asked.
Oh and just to be really evil to ya'll I played with the cover image of this story to make Natsu look like a Ghost and Gray look like he's alive c: Have fun crying an inland sea
