Chapter 2
The welcoming aroma of coffee wafts through the air as Gray entered the café. As the bell rang for a moment, indicating his arrival. The barista behind the counter greeted him with a waved.
Khaki-colored walls and the walnut flooring enhanced the cafe's coziness. Wooden padded chairs and coffee tables are set comfortably apart. Customers are able to move without difficulty.
The lad found himself sitting next to the window, his usual spot. He lets out a heavy sigh. Gray recalled his encounter with Lucy yesterday. There was nothing more to talk about. It's in the past so why bring it up?
Why does he need to justify himself when it was everyone's choice to agree to Master Makarov's decisions?
It was terribly frustrating but it was Lucy. The obvious pain in her eyes was enough to make him waver. But Gray believed Lucy knows why. She just wants to hear it coming from their mouths.
His thoughts swirled around his head that it was almost giving him a headache. He thinks too much.
Moments later, a waitress placed a cup of coffee on top of his table. He smiles as he reaches towards the cup's handle. Bringing it closer to his mouth, he takes a sip.
"Gray,"
Gray didn't bother to look away and see who it is. He already saw the person's reflection from the window.
"How did you even find me?" Gray groaned.
"Your scent you blockhead," the fiery mage replied in irritation as he sat down directly in front of Gray.
"Then what brings you here, Natsu?" Gray queried, ignoring Natsu's insult.
They've been friends for years. So It bothers him why the salmon-headed mage still gets to his nerves when he should be used to it.
"I saw Lucy yesterday at the guild," Natsu clarifies. "But she looked down in the dumps, know anything about that?"
Gray brought up an eyebrow. "You think I'm the reason why she's sad?" He pointed at himself in disbelief.
"She told me she bumped into you," Natsu shrugs.
"Figures," Gray retorts.
An awkward silence ensues. Natsu immediately regrets leaving Happy back at the guild. He scratches the back of his head. "You've been ignoring her Gray,"
"I wouldn't walk her home if I were,"
"You won't even do that if you haven't bump into her yesterday—the gentleman that you are." Natsu childishly pointed his finger at him.
Gray gave him an irritated expression.
The team splitting up was because of Master's order. Truthfully, they were all given a chance to agree or disagree upon Master's sudden judgement. The team decided to split up so power could be properly dispersed to other teams in the guild.
Friendships gets too complicated. At this point, it was getting personal.
"It has been months Gray. Let it go." Natsu sighed and stood up.
Gray ignored his statement and looked away.
"Juvia's looking for you," Natsu added before leaving.
"you are my only sun"
