I love me you probably hate me, but don't go out and kill me, with a big shot gun—I don't want to continue my death song. XD But at least I am organized at yeah! :D Anyway, please enjoy!

~~~~~ I'm In Love with My Ex ~~~~~

Natsu scanned all his photo albums, notebooks, threat notes, and everything about Gray. Why? Well it's really simple—because he wants to find out what the hell did he do to Gray to make him crack. I mean, you can't just get a car hit and suddenly say, 'Oh, hey Lucy! Since I got hit by a car, can I destroy your relationship with your boyfriend with something I was swore to tell a secret?' Maybe some string inside of him got cut with made him blurt it out. Maybe there was something Gray had that Natsu didn't know. Maybe Gray didn't really like Natsu after all! Well, whatever it was, Natsu was hoping to find out.

After 2 hours of searching, Natsu gave up. He didn't find a single clue. He sighed and collapsed on the floor in exhaustion. He held up the last picture he tried looking at, and put it up in the air. "I just don't get why… We were, like, close friends… Right…?"

He huffed and looked at the picture clearly. It was taken in high school first year—the year Lucy came. They already became really close friends that time. It was around November when it was taken. It was just the usual gang—Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Erza, Wendy, Levy, et cetera. In the middle was Lucy, laughing like she was having the time of her life, holding Natsu's and Gray's hands, making them look at the camera (even if they didn't really want to). That time, Natsu was a bit pink—he didn't really know why that time, since he was a bit naïve. Gray—he didn't really notice before.

'Wait a moment..' Natsu wondered, sitting up immediately, looking closely at the picture. Gray was looking away from Lucy and the camera, his teeth clenched together, obviously saying 'get me out of here'. Then something caught Natsu's eyes.

What is that—something pink across Gray's face? It couldn't be—maybe someone just brushed it with paint or something? Natsu tried removing it; it didn't work. He gulped air, as he faced the truth. It was Gray, yes, but the problem was…

He was blushing that time. And Natsu was sure it wasn't because of the camera. If you take a look closely, you'll see Gray facing away, but at the corner of his eye, he was looking at Lucy's hand whose holding on to his. Is there something wrong with the picture? The answer is yes. Because that meant Gray had a crush on Lucy—on the same school year Lucy and Natsu became together and when Gray found out about Natsu's cheating habits.

. . .

"Wendy… Wendy… Wendy, I know you can hear me! Stop ignoring your older brother!" Natsu hissed, trailing behind Wendy who was rushing away. "Wendy, can you just listen to me for once? Okay, I know what I did was wrong and I regret it very much, but can you just—please?"

Wendy stopped her tracks and glanced at Natsu. "Do you really… Regret it?" she asked slowly, still taking precautions. Who wouldn't? This is Natsu Dragneel, the cheater who chose the worst possible prey ever.

"Yes, yes I do." He replied, hope washing over his eyes that she would listen and do his plea.

Wendy sighed and faced him. "What you did was wrong, big brother. I'm sorry, but I have to go." And with that, she ran through the corridor.

Natsu groaned. "This is going to be harder than I thought…"

"What's going to be hard?" a voice asked behind him. Natsu looked where the voice came from, and it was his arch rival, Sting, with his best friend Rogue. (I know I usually put them but I couldn't find anyone who wouldn't sew him to jail for Lucy!) He had an amused expression in his face, though Natsu knew that they knew about the whole 'break up' thing. "If you can't do it, maybe I can beat you to it." He smirked.

Natsu, instead of scowling in disgust, filled with joy and went to his knees. "Okay, I know we aren't exactly close friends—"

"We aren't friends at all." Sting cut off, but amused by his behaviour.

"—but I would just like to ask a favour to you." Natsu completed, ignoring Sting's words. "Please, oh please… I will do anything!" Hell, it would embarrass himself, but at least he showed he care for Lucy!

"What is it?" he replied, raising his brow as if a challenged was given—and probably, it was.

"You know Gray Fullbuster, right?" Natsu asked. "Jet black hair, dark blue eyes, stripper, ice-loving-freak, guy currently in crutches?"

"Yeah, I know him." He answered.

"Erm… Can you, like, give this to him?" Natsu asked again, handing out a letter which was tightly sealed. He prepared, since he didn't want anyone to know… And he knew he can't exactly give it to Gray himself, since the 'problem'… "You know, as in, deliver it safely without it being destroyed or opened?"

Sting shrugged. "Sure, Rogue and me can give it during class." He replied.

"I'm not interested." Rogue hissed at Sting, no emotion as always.

. . .

"Hey, you—Gray Fullbuster!" Sting yelled, holding out the letter and running after Gray who was trying to walk away non-obviously as if he couldn't hear Sting—which was hard since he had crutches. "Gray, I know you can hear me, damn it! And I know you're trying to get away! Hey, stop ignoring me! Rogue, call him! Try being helpful for once!"

Rogue, reading his book, only walked slowly behind him. He gave Sting a look that said 'stop bugging me; I don't even know why I'm here'. "I'm not interested." He said, and continued reading his book.

Sting sighed at Rogue's lack of interest (at least, Rogue said so) and chased after Gray. "Fullbuster, I mean no harm! Can you just come here and give me a damn break and read this letter from Salamander?! Did you know I couldn't peak because he actually super glued it, so it would be obvious?!"

This time, Gray stopped his tracks and looked back at Sting who had a satisfied smirk on his face out of relief. "Did you say… Salamander?" he asked, ignoring the 'peaking' comment. "Do you mean Natsu?"

Sting rolled his eyes. "Well, duh!"

Gray snatched the letter from him and looked at it wearily. It's been some time before they talked… "Thanks," he mumbled to Sting, eyeing the letter reluctantly.

Sting grinned. (YES, HE IS KIND OF NICE HERE! XP) "No problem. Though if you ever see Natsu around, tell him to not use super glue. It makes it hard to read other peoples messages. I mean, who does that?!" he complained, making Gray grin a little in amusement. "Anyway, before Rogue completely abandons me, bye." He said, waving and turning around to where he came.

"See you around." Gray replied, returning a wave of his own. He looked back to the letter. "Well, here goes nothing."
