The sun rises, Gray wakes up early in morning as he feels the heat. He stands up and start looking for a shelter. He wondered around the island until he found an old building near in the stream.
Gray entered the old building and realized it is an old library. Unfortunately, the books are gone due to years have passed.
Gray decided that the library will be his shelter and starts cleaning with his Ice-make molding magic. After he cleaning his shelter, he goes out and chops a tree for the furnitures. He manage to create a wooden bed, couch and two chairs.
It is noon when he finished constructing some furnitures. Gray didn't take any rest. His next move is to gather some food. He wondered around to gather some fruits near in his shelter. Next, he goes to the stream to catch some fishes but their is no single fish in the stream. So he leaves his area and goes to the bay.
Meanwhie, Natsu woke up around noon realizing he fall asleep in the ground after he lost consciousness. He stand up and stretched his body.
Suddenly, his tummy made a sound. Natsu is hungry and his tummy wants to digest some delicious seafoods. So he went to the sea to catch some fishes.
When he arrived, "How am I supposed to catch a fish?" he complained. Natsu has no idea how to catch a fish without a fishing rod. Then he saw a sharp-long stick and get it "Perfect!" then he smiled.
Natsu removes his clothes leaving his boxer and goes to the water then he starts to hunt some fish but it is harder than he thought. He spend two hours in hunting some fishes in the sea but he can't catch any.
Until Gray saw him called his name "Natsu!!!... Natsu!!!..." Natsu gives a look, he saw Gray looking at him on the bay.
"You want some?!" Gray shouted and raised his hand with full of fishes.
Natsu quickly pissed off. "No! I don't want your help!!!" as he splashes the sea.
"I know you are hungry... We can share if you want!!!!" Gray added.
Natsu just ignored Gray "Stupid Icestripper!... I can get a food without his help!... What a stupid person!" he said as he keep trying to catch a fish with a stick.
Gray can't help but to watch Natsu hunting. "Geez... This man is so cold..."
Natsu didn't give up yet, he keeps hunting until he stepped something sharp "Ouch!" he shouted in pain.
"Are you Okay?!" Gray worried.
"Leave me alone! You idiot!... Icestripper bitch!!!!" Natsu yelled as the water boils in an immense heat due to Natsu's anger.
"Fine!" then Gray leaves.
"Finally!" he watched Gray leaving.
When Natsu is back in his business, he noticed that their are many dead fish floating. He realize that he killed some nearby fishes after he produced a great amount of heat. Natsu didn't think twice, he gets all the dead fish and goes out of the water and wears his clothes.
Then he starts collecting some sticks. After collecting, he manage to remove the scales of the fishes and he inject the fishes in the sticks he collected. Then he grilled the fishes using his fire magic. When the fishes are cooked Natsu eat it like a wild animal.
Natsu was full after eating some grilled fishes. Suddenly, he felt weak, he don't have a strength to stand and walk. "What the..." and he fall on the sand's ground.
On the other hand, Gray just finished eating some fishes that he caught and yet he was so upset because of Natsu "That god damn Flamebrain!!! All I want is to fix our relationship!!! Why doesn't he understand that???" he murmured.
Gray takes a rest for a while, "Our relationship as a friend must be resolve somehow... but how?" he asked himself. Gray thinks hard until he decided to talk to Natsu for resolvement. Gray starts to move and goes back to the bay, he expects that Natsu is still there.
When he arrived, Natsu is no longer in the sea but he saw him laying on the seaside, he thinks that Natsu is sleeping but he is not. When Gray reaches Natsu he wakes him up.
"Natsu... Wake up... Look... We need to talk..." but Natsu didn't give a sign to move. "Natsu!...Natsu!!!" Gray continued but still no sign of moving. Gray realize that something is not right with Natsu. He manage to have a closer look in Natsu's face. Gray was shocked after he saw Natsu unconscious with bubbles coming from his mouth.
"Hang in there, Natsu!!!" then he checked Natsu's body from head to feet. When Gray checked the left foot of Natsu, he realize that Natsu was stinged by the sea urchin. By using his urine Gray quickly peed Natsu's left foot and carried him out on the sand and put him in his shelter.
Gray quickly aided Natsu. He slowly removes the spikes of the sea urchin one by one on Natsu's foot. Gray looks at Natsu, sweating and breathing hardly. After removing the spikes Gray put his hand on Natsu's neck realizing that he has a high fever.
Gray carried Natsu again and goes to the river. Lucky, the river flows normal. Gray puts Natsu on the ground near in the water and manage to strip off Natsu. He washes Natsu's body by pouring a water in his hands and wash it in Natsu's body with gentle and care. He starts washing Natsu's face carefully then down to the dragon slayer's body as he massaged it gently.
Going down on fire mage's body, Gray look at Natsu's member "It's big..." he said to himself. "What the fuck! What am I talking about?!" then he blushed.
Gray ignored the member of Natsu as he continues to wash Natsu's leg down to its feet and cleaned the infected part. Gray managed to dry Natsu using his coat and put his clothes back including the scarf which is the most valuable thing. Gray carries Natsu again and head back to his shelter then he places back Natsu on the wooden bed.
Gray didn't do anything in this time but to keep on eye on Natsu until he didn't realize that he fall asleep right beside the dragon slayer.
The next day...
Natsu wakes up, realizing his body is so weak to move and he was in an old-structured building. On his side, he saw the half-naked ice mage sleeping. "Did he take care of me and let me stay here?" Natsu was touched. He feels so guilty after what he did to Gray even though he is such a troublemaker.
Natsu has no idea what to do after Gray did. Instead, he slowly puts his hand on Gray's hair and swipes it with his fingers "Thank you so much Gray" he said in a low voice then he smiled.
Gray was bothered, he feels that something is touching his hair. He wakes up and yawns then looks to Natsu.
"Sorry...Did I wake you up?" Natsu asked gently for the first time on his rival as he smiled.
"Yeah..." then he goes back to sleep lik he didn't care at all. Gray suddenly realized that Natsu is back in his sense, he is so energized as he open his eyes again. "Hey... are you feeling better?" he asked energetically.
"Yeah!... Thank you!" then he smiled again to Gray.
It is the first time that Gray saw Natsu smiled kindly at him. Gray smiled and replied "That's Great!"
Natsu bowed down his head "Listen... Gray... I am so sorry for causing you a trouble, for making you mad or... sad... I am very sorry for everything, Gray... Thank you for enduring my stubbornness and saving my life... I do now really appreciate it" Natsu apologizes in a low voice.
"Yeah! I know..." Gray respond, Natsu looks at Gray "So FRIENDS?!" he added.
"FRIENDS!!!" Natsu replied cheerfully as they do a bro fist.
