Thank you guys so much! All the reviews I got were positive and encouraging me to make another chapter, so I am! Special thanks to:
-M8UW0T
-Hope
-the two Guests that reviewed
-darkhuntressxir
Also at the end I said my name was ImmaVegeta because that was old name than I changed it to start new. I changed it so now it should be good.
I feel really bad because I know this chapter is going to be shorter than I want it to be but I have a certain point I want it to stop at and I can't keep going.
Well I have to say, Gray and Natsu have some issues they need to deal with, if you know what I am saying.
Well enough talking, more reading! Also each chapter will have a song's lyrics, but the title will stay the same because it was the first song I used. This chapter is The Phoenix by Fall Out Boy
WARNINGS: Cursing, more in future.
Disclaimer: I sadly don't know Fairy Tail and if I did it wouldn't be as good anyway.
My Quote of the day (love this one):
The loneliest people are the kindest, The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do.

The Song is The Phoenix by Fall Out Boy, I like it in Nightcore
In the previous chapter...
Natsu's POV
After running anywhere to get away from Gray, I stopped. I looked at my surroundings to see that I was deep in a forest. I went over to one of the trees and sat down in the shade to relax and think about what just happened.
What did happen?
Gray kissed me and wants me back, but why? What changed his mind and made him leave another girl, the same way he did to me. And he just expects me to hug and kiss him, jump into his open arms like none of the things before happened? No, that's not how the world works and I have grown up to be a person who knows that. He needs to too, because I don't need him.
Now I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Fight chapter 2
Natsu's POV
Put on your war paint
Why!? Why did Gray have to be so goddamn confusing all the time!? Couldn't he have just accepted what had happened like I did, and move on with life? He always wants it his way, 'I don't like Natsu anymore so I'm going to cheat on her' or 'now I like her again so I'm going to kiss her and she is going to run to me in open arms' Well he is wrong.
I've got my Fairy Tail family who has supported me the whole time, me handsome son Sei, who I don't care who else helped made him, and I've got myself. That's all I need right? Ya, ya...it is? No I'm wrong, there is always a need for more people to love and comfort for yourself and them.
But, I don't think I can do that with Gray, I mean who was he kidding. He cheated on me, left, and then after I don't know how many years came but, wanting me.
Do I need him? I don't even know anymore...wait, no no no. I can't care about him! He hurt me, ripped out my heart and left me for dead. But, he did give me the gift of having Sei. What do I do? Forgive him or reject him and leave him as he did me.
I can't do this right now, I need to put this problem in the back of my brain and when it comes up again deal with it like an adult. I don't feel like an adult, I feel like a little child who is lost in a maze and keeps coming to the same dead ends, over and over again. But, I need to find my way out of this maze and solve this problem so my life can go back to normal.
During her whole inner battle she had yet to notice her son find her and trying to get her attention.
"M- ...Mo-...Mom!" Sei said yelling his loudest
Not expecting the outburst she flinched and then relaxed at looking into her son's eyes
"Sorry, I was just thinking really hard and I didn't see or hear you at all"
"It's ok I forgive you. Can we go home now and get so dinning I dying to eat!"
Nodding and getting up she held her son's hand as they walked home. She had noticed it was dark compared to when she had remembered running away so decided to ask her son.
"Oh! I have a question, what time is it?"
"It is around 9:21 (21, lol couldn't help it)"
9:21! She remembered leaving around dinner time! Oh, her poor son looking for her while hunger.(cheesy I know)
"I so sorry I was gone so long! Lets hurry so I can make you some dinner!" she said picking up her speed
"It's fine I would starve if it meant I would be able to find you!~" he said smiling
You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down
Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground
We are the jack-o-lanterns in July
Setting fire to the sky
He-here comes this rising tide
So come on
She just stopped. Tears starting to well up I her eyes, she turned to her son and just started to hug him. They stood like this for a while until she had heard Sei's stomach growl
"Oh! I forgot your hungry lets hurry" she says returning to her rushed speed
Normal POV (At the guild)
"I hope Seijuro has found Natsu by now, she didn't come to the guild and wasn't anywhere we looked" Lucy said worried
"Maybe she went on some erens(I tried finding how to spell it and Google pissed me off so don't hate) so something." Mira said whipping off the last few cups
"But she would usually tell him and let him come with so it can't be that." Erza said joining in on the conversation
"I hope it has nothing to do with Gray." Lucy said starting to drift off into her imagination
Gray's POV
What should I do now? I mean, I just kissed my ex- wait I mean the, girl I cheated on. Every time I think of that it is as if my heart clutches against my chest. Wanting to relieve the pain and be set free. I don't really know when I should go back to her and try to talk to her, but I hope I didn't scare her to bad, being so sudden and all.
Who am I kidding even if I could give her anything in the world she probably wouldn't take me back. I know if I was in this situation I wouldn't, but I'm not her. In the end all it will be is her letting me have another chance or leaving me as I did her. Even though I know what the answer most likely will be I will try not to pressure her or bother her but in the end you and I both know that I will eventually have to ask, ad she knows she will have to answer, truthfully.
I feel sorry for her and mad at myself. She had to live for a few years with a child, that she hated who the father was...and only have her friends to help her through it. I get that friends are great in all, I do, but if that is all you have it still must be hard.
I internally gasp. What had she felt when I left her? Alone, sad, depressed, maybe angry, non-forgiving, or betrayed. Especially since she doesn't have a real family. Not knowing who her real parents are, if there alive, if she has siblings. Igneel. She always dreamed of finding him and he has made that even harder. Igneel was the closest thing she had to family other than her friends.
From him leaving her, with a child that just made it even harder to accomplish that dream and anymore she had not shared aloud. Let's also not forget that she has to pay even more money than she already does. She had to pay for all of the baby stuff like food for the baby, diapers, medicine in case the baby gets ill, and has to have the baby go to the doctors to get check ups.
With those and many for things she also has to pay for things that she needs! Her friends might have helped a bit, but that is a lot when you have to watch the baby and can't go on many missions.
By the end of Gray thinking about all of these things and more, the more and more bad he felt. He just left her there with nothing because of his dumb choices. His decisions affected a person, very important to him, life. Eventually turning into another life passed on.(aka Seijuro)
Put on your war paint
How he despised himself, why, why would he do that, he thought to himself. What was I thinking, what did I not like about our relationship. Was he lonely and felt as if she wasn't enough. Did he think he didn't have enough freedom because had a girlfriend. What!?
He was getting frustrated with himself and life it's self.
He felt as if he was in a wormhole, no way out once your in. Like even though he kept saying sorry that it might not change, ever. How he hoped it didn't stay like this forever. Lonely, guilty, and frustrated. Wait, that is probably what she felt, well maybe not guilty.
All these and many more, kept running through his mind as he fell asleep.
The next day - Normal POV in the guild
Everyone was there normal selves, nothing out of the ordinary, of course. Natsu was with Lucy, Erza, and some not as important characters I'm not going to name, in the middle of the guild playing with Seijuro.
Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies
Silver clouds with grey linings
As people started to leave for jobs or, other things it started to become quieter and quieter, until the only loud and important people were Lucy, Natsu, Erza, and Seijuro.
"Mom." Sei said tugging on Natsu's scarf
"Wow Sei watch out you were about to choke me." she said sighing, "What did you want to ask?"
"Can we go on a mission, pretty please." he said trying to give his mother the most kawaii face he could
"Erza, Lucy what do you think." she said turning to her best friends
"I believe he should be able to go on a mission." Erza said confidently
"I agree with her, he is growing up and needs some freedom." Lucy said nodding her head at Seijuro
"You guys know he is only, like 5 right?" Natsu said scratching behind her head
"Yes we do now let the boy go on a mission with you!" Lucy said starting to lose her patience
"Ok, ok. Then it is decided Seijuro, we are going on a mission together!" she said turning towards her son
He smiled the biggest smile she had even seen and then quickly grabbed his mother's hand to go to the mission broad.
"Now I'll let you choose, but something that you want to do that isn't to hard." watching her son's actions
He looked all around the broad beaming with excitement. There was on job that caught his eye and he knew his mother would like it too. The job was to defeat this monster and return the children that were captured by it to their parents.
He knew how his mother loved helping people, especially if they have a chance of not seeing their parents like her.
So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
"Mom, I got a job for us to do!" he yelled gaining her attention
"What's the job" piking at the paper
"You'll see!"
"I have to know so I can know if it is too dangerous or not, honey. Also I need to know where it is"
"Fine, fine. You always ruin my fun" Sei said in defeat, handing her the paper
After a minute of Natsu reading it over she turned to Seijuro with a smile on her face.
"I very happy at the job you chose. Especially that you chose this one for me!" she said giving kissings and kissings on his head
Blushing a tiny bit and trying to push his mother off he said, "Mom stop, your embarrassing me"
"Ok, ok. Well lets go home and get a few things and then come back to confirm with Mira, sound good?"
"Ya, lets go!"
Hey young blood
Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
They went home and got things like money, sleeping things, and lots of food. They finished packing and headed off to the guild to get Mira to confirm that they can go.
Gray's POV
I've got to go to her now or I won't have the courage to even ask her. I know it puts a lot of pressure on her, but I've got to know.
I'm walking towards the guild now, well more like speed walk so fast that, I might be running. Ok I'm running, I worried who wouldn't. I see the guild's huge building start to come into my view so I slow down to catch my breath. I stop.
What am I going to say to her? I can't just go up to her and expect forgiveness like last time. I need to think this over for a bit.
As Gray starting thinking he sat down at a table in a cafe. As he saw a young girl approach he looked up. She was dressed in the cafe's work close so he expected that she would come and take his order. Truth be told he didn't want anything, he was to busy thinking about Natsu and what he would say.
"Hello" the girl said
"Hi" he said awkwardly, "I don't really want anything to eat so-"
"Oh I know, I didn't come over for that, I came because you seem so sad that I wanted to help." she said smiling
Wow this girl sure does talk a lot, Gray thought to himself
"What are you so sad about?" she said scooting closer to him
"I'm not going to tell someone that I don't even know that." he said a little to coldly
"Well then I'll tell you who I am. My name is Grace (that's my name!) and I'm 17 years old. Anything else you want me to tell you?"
"No, I'm fine. I guess I'll tell you because you seem like you won't tell me until I leave anyway." he said sighing in defeat
"Yay, ok don't take to long though, I am supposed to be working." she said quietly
"Well there is this girl, her name is Natsu. A few years back we dated and...I cheated on her-"
"You cheated on her?! Why would you do that? Weren't you happy, that's-"
"If you want me to tell you the rest don't interrupt me"
She shut up immediately, wanting to hear the rest.
He started up again picking off from where he was, "As I was saying, I had cheated on her and I don't know why I did. I was very happy with her and loved her more than anything. I just recently got back from a mission/job that took a few years to complete. When I saw her I saw that she had a son and I realized that I had gotten her pregnant. When I tried to talk to her and tell her that I was sorry and wanted another chance she would ignore me or avoid me. Finally I had cornered her and for some reason I kissed her making it a billion times more worse than it was. I want to go to her right now and tell her my true feelings before I don't get the chance but I don't know what to say." he said sadly
Bring home the boys and scrap scrap metal the tanks
Get hitched and make a career out of robbing banks
Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks
"You broke our spirit," says the note we pass
When Gray looked at the girl she seemed to be in deep thought. All of the sudden she brightened her smile and looked at Gray excitingly.
"I know what you should do!"
"What, what." he said sounding desperate
"Just tell her your true feelings in front of your guild. Your in one because of that mark on your chest right?"
"Yes I am but I've been trying that how with this time be different?"
"If your guild mates have any decency then they will let you tell her and try to get her back. As simple as that."
"I goes I'll try" he said, still a little unsure
"Trust me, umm you didn't tell me your name" she said scratching the back of her head
"My name is Gray" he said getting up to leave, "Thanks I goes I'll see you around, Grace"
"No problem I'll be here if you need help with anything else", she said getting back to her work
He started to walking towards the guild, but a lot more confidently then before. He could do this. He just had to tell her what he has been really thinking. He really did hope the guild would come through like Grace had said.
After that little conversation in himself he found himself at the guild's door about to walk in
Normal POV
Natsu and Seijuro had just gotten Mira's approval on going to do the mission as they heard someone bust the guild's doors open.
"NATSU!" Gray yelled spotting her
"Huh?" she said turning in the direction she heard her name. She froze it was him again. Why was he here, she didn't want to talk to him she just wanted to go on a job with her son.
He ran up to her and stopped to catch his breath. After a second he looked up into her green eyes to see her reaction. He saw confusion mixed with a bit of anger, but it made him feel good that she didn't hate him as much as he had originally thought. The guild started to grow quiet as Natsu tightened her grip around Seijuro's hand.
So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
"Natsu, I want to tell you what I have been thinking about for a very long time" he started off, "Those times we shared together were the best times of my life. I loved you with all my heart and more. I don't know why I cheated, I don't. But, it would mean the world to me if you gave me another chance. I know that I don't deserve it because of what I did. What I did was horrible and non-forgivable, but please give me another chance to at least be your friend." he said breathing out
He picked up Natsu's hand, went on one knee and asked the question, "Will you take me back?"
Put on your war paint
AN:Thanks for reading! I hope you liked it. Please comment and review. Also vote for which one you want:
1)Natsu to forgive Gray
or
2)Natsu to not forgive him
Please vote because that will determine what I do for the next chapter. I might during the summer also do the choice that wasn't chosen during the vote so don't be sad if I don't chose the one you wanted. I have to say though that if you chose the one with Natsu not forgiving him, this fanfiction might be a lot shorter, so ya. Vote and thanks for the support.
