Past Memories

It was a sunny day, little Gray and Natsu was playing by the lake surrounded by trees and beautiful flowers, Natsu was splashing water into Gray and Gray did the same, they laughed and a very bright smile adorned their faces. They were like inseparable, and nothing can ever tore them apart, they climbed trees, they picked apples, they shared precious moments, they were bestfriends.

They spent their time always together, fighting, teasing and just everything. Until... they were separated and had gone their different paths,

It was a rainy day and little Natsu was sitting by the lake, adoring how blue and clear the water was, it was still and calm unlike himself. He had just lost his parents, his parents had died in a car crash protecting him, they had died in front of his own eyes. Natsu can still feel his injuries, a fractured arm, a bleeding forehead, and his legs were still very tired, and yet it was not compared to how painful it was to lose his parents. He had woken up in the hospital that night shouting for his parents, begging to hear anyone that his parents was just joking, that his parents were still alive, that his parents didn't die. He cried and cried, tears flowed but at that same night, he remembered his mother and father's words, to smile at the toughest and saddest times.

At first he can't because it was painful, because now he was an orphan. But he smiled for his mom and dad, he knew they would be still looking out for him and he didn't want to disappoint them so he smiled.

After feeling the wetness and coldness of the rain, he heard footsteps coming closer to him, but he didn't even bother, not until the figure stopped behind him covering him under the rain with an umbrella, "Still gonna sulk there Natsu?" he knew this voice all too well, it was his bestfriend, Gray Fullbuster. "I want to be alone right now Gray and thank you for your concern but I'm fine." He looked up to his bestfriend and smiled. Gray had a look of a scowl on his face and tch'ed "Come on Natsu, aren't you going to visit your parents? They'll be hurt you know." Natsu had laughed about this..."Gray I feel alone, I want them to be with me you know, looking at them in their coffins would remind be that they'll never be able to open their eyes and smile at me again." Gray sat down beside Natsu and comforted him, in his own way, punched Natsu's shoulder.

"Sulking and doing this won't bring them back Natsu, you have to move on." Natsu chuckled and also returned that punch in the shoulder back at Gray. "I guess you're right Gray." Gray smiled at Natsu, "That's better, good that I came here in time because if I didn't you'll be drowning yourself right now" Natsu punched Gray again, "I won't kill myself moron! Then my parents lives were worth nothing!" Gray chuckled and said, "Exactly! Now let's go your parents are waiting for you, I'll be there for you Natsu." And at that they went to the funeral.

After a month, Igneel, had decided to take care and adopt Natsu, of course Natsu was happy, little did he know his first bestfriend would disappear.

"Hey Gray I've been waiting for you! Where have you been?" but Gray didn't reply he didn't even smile, a frown etched his face, and he was walking at a slow pace, not being able to make eye-contact with Natsu. Natsu was beyond confused, Why was Gray acting like this and did he do something wrong?. Gray stopped and looked at Natsu straight in the eye, Natsu saw what those eyes portraited, it was a look of sadness. "Natsu I have come to tell you that I'll be leaving and I don't think I would ever come back." Natsu was a lost of words, Gray sighed and turned away walking at a faster pace, Natsu was you could say shocked, his friend would go away and never come back. He smiled of course.

After a 3 years, Igneel and Lisanna's death came, he smiled but he was in pain so much pain. They had died protecting Natsu from a gunshot, their house was being ransacked and the robbers were threatening Natsu when the gunman was to pull the trigger, Igneel and Lisanna jumped in to save him. And just one thing came into Natsu's mind, he was a misfortune.

He had shouted only for one name,

Gray!

Natsu jolted awake, to find himself in his bedroom, he looked out of the window to find it was raining, he sighed "Another nightmare" he muttered under his breath, he got out of bed to find it was 6 in the morning, he took a shower, grabbed his school uniform, cooked breakfast, brushed his teeth, and wrapped around Igneel's scarf around his neck, he lived alone now, he never had any trouble with money, why? his parents were rich, and it was just enough for him to go to college.

After he had done his unfinished assignments, he headed out of the door, locked it and opened his umbrella, he took a glance at the cloudy sky and smiled, "How are you Gray?" he got his bag and walked to his school, Fairy Tail Academy.

On the way he met with his friend, Lucy Heartphillia, "Lucy! Wait for me!" Natsu had ran to met up, Lucy looked back and gave her friend a smile, "Hey Natsu!" Natsu had catched up with Lucy, "Say Lucy can we walk to school together?" Natsu showed his toothy grin, Lucy laughed and returned that smile, "Sure Natsu," They had talked all the way. Later they were joined by his other friends, Loke, Lucy's boyfriend, Erza and Jelllal the couple.

They were inside the classroom, talking and laughing. Natsu was teasing Lucy on how heavy she was and she should have a diet, they laughed and Lucy pouted, "Natsu if you keep on with doing this childish attitude you'll never get yourself a girlfriend, or you'll never be in a relationship." This silenced everyone, yes all of them were already in a relationship except for him. Natsu just showed his smile and laughed, "Maybe someday I will Lucy." Erza nodded in response and Jellal patted Natsu's shoulder, Loke winked and Lucy smiled. "Did you hear we'll be having a new student?" Erza had asked, Lucy nodded, Loke smiled, Jellal remained his serious expression and Natsu in an act excited. "That's good to hear then, a newcomer here to join us!" shouted Natsu, "I'm all fired up!" his friends just chuckled.

It was then the bell rang, all students have gone back to their seats the teacher had come in. "Greetings class, today as you all know, we'll be having a transfer student. Please come in." Natsu was excited and he was smiling, then what came out surprised him to the extent. He saw the one and only...

Gray Fullbuster.

Natsu was lost for words, his bestfriend that had runaway from him was infront of him, "Name's Gray, Gray Fullbuster, don't bother me and leave me the hell alone." All the students began whispering, some of the girls found him extremely handsome, he is, some already begin crushing on him, Gray looked around the room the find the pinkette, he wouldn't admit but he missed, an unoticable smile find its way into his face, "Gray, Thank You, you can seat behind Mr. Dragneel over there." Gray walked and stopped beside Natsu, who was not looking at him, he whispered in Natsu's ear, " Long time no see Pinky, or should I say Natsu." And he sat down. Whisper around the classroom were heard, Natsu was smiling, he finally had Gray once more or he thought so.

Gray can't believe before him was his childhood friend, of course he was happy, but he still feel guilty running away from Natsu, he didn't know why he whispered something to Natsu, maybe because he missed him that he couldn't help it? maybe not. He shrugged of the thought because Natsu was here, and that is what matters ...right?

Wait for next Chapter!
