Story title: A walk on the Beach

Rated: T

Warning(S): Language, Shonen Ai.

Pairings: NatsuxGray

I don't own fairy tail.

Lucy Heartfilia was surprised. She couldn't exactly know how to describe what she was experiencing. Was it surprise? Or was it confusion? Or what exactly was it that she was feeling when Gray Fullbuster stands in front of her with swollen eye and bruised cheek? Moreover…. Who was that guy with the pink hair?

Yes it was all some sort of confusion.

Of course I found Lucy in Loss for words. Who is Lucy you say?

Long time ago, when I first met Loki, he introduced me to two girls working at some sort of a department store. The first was cheerful, naïve and let's say easy to deal with and that's Lucy heartfilia. A girl from a very rich family 'Yes, I only make friends with rich people' and I don't know why did she choose to work in some dump.

The next girl was over-protective of Lucy, ridiculously annoying and that's Cana Alberona. She's not bad of a person, but I don't get along with her very much. She's an adult really and I don't deal well with an adult. But I don't hate her.

So, when I stand in front of Lucy with my messed up face, she just gives me that annoying stare and I suddenly had the urge to scream in her face.

"Ahhhh…. Gray? What happened to your face?"

And I seriously thought that her question was so so stupid. What happened is that that Pink-haired Maniac has ruined my face bones. Wasn't that pretty obvious with the serial killer glare he was distributing around him?

"Gray?"

"Oh. Excuse me I wouldn't answer that question. Get me a fucking ice pack."

Lucy stared at me with a raised-eye-brow for about five seconds before she crosses her hands on her chest and gives me that arrogant look.

"You are an arrogant bastard, you know that?" She stated. "Say 'please' and I might consider doing so."

I almost exploded from anger. "Please, give me the fucking ice pack."

She huffed and puffed while going to bring the item and after about ten seconds, she came holding the ice pack. "Here you go. Mind telling me what happened? And… this is the first time you come here with a FRIEND so at least introduce him to me."

I grunted and took the Ice-pack from her putting it on my eyes. "Believe me, if I knew his name, I would've introduced him to you, but SADLY I don't."

Cinderella growled and stepped on my feet, making me not even able to show anger through my voice because of the incredible pain that was eating up my body and bones.

"… Monster…."

I think I collapsed on the floor, totally exhausted. When I first saw that monster, I didn't know that I would get myself into so much trouble. I tried my best to stand up and to hold myself together.

"You deserve every punch that I gave you."

I could've lost my mind? "Look Lucy. I was the reason that guy was fired from his job. Now when I got it back to him he came and hit the shit out of me. Don't you find this crazy? He didn't do anything when I got him fired!"

Lucy's eyes brightened up. "Oooh! You DID hit Gray? Seriously?"

The Pink fool grinned and nodded. "YEP!"

"That's wonderful! I hoped that someone would knock him out to bring him to his senses and you did that…. Literally!"

The guy blushed and scratched the end of his head shyly. "Oww! I'm flattered! I can do it anytime!"

Ahhhhggg. Why does everyone hate me in this world?

So I think something in my ribcage was broken, in my arms, in my legs… was it all my body?

I frankly underestimated this guy's strength. And I don't know why I let my guard down when I saw him on the threshold of my apartment. To think that he invaded my property, and totally abused my body…. Why didn't I have any sort of counter attack at him? I was always good at that.

"As a reward for you, I will let you buy anything today for free!" Lucy smiled widely and the idiot grinned like there was no tomorrow.

"Seriously? That's awesome! Thank you L-L-Lucy~" He was trying to read from the nametag Lucy's name.

My eyes widened and my jaw dropped on the floor, not believing that Lucy abandoned me like that. After the years of friendship and honey… why am I so dramatic?

The idiot ran around the department store getting the cart full of useless things. And I leaned on the counter, nursing my poor eye.

"Gray, I'm happy that you got to taste some sweet revenge from one of the people you hurt in your daily life. If you asked me, I'll tell you that this is so healthy."

I groaned and almost stumbled to fall on the floor. "Uhh….. Yeah healthy…"

"Oh. Look who is beaten up?"

Ugh. Great. Now Cana is going to join and team up with Lucy on me.

"My my. Don't you look so terrible?"

"Shut up you drunk idiot."

"Haha. You better watch yourself Gray when you are throwing insults at people in this condition. Pathetic might not be the correct word for it."

"I agree." Lucy smiled. "If you want I could call Juvia-chan to-"

"Don't. You. Dare!" I clenched my teeth fuming.

"Ok, I understand. Just go home. You are scaring the customers here."

I groaned and pulled myself off the counter.

"And you might want to do something about that bruised lip." She advised giving me her first aid. She knew I didn't keep this stuff in my home because I've never ever imagined someone to come and beat me into a pulp with me standing and accepting all the beating without any resistance.

"I'm done!"

Lucy sweat dropped when she saw Cinderella filling the cart with almost the entire store. And I knew that she regretted her decision in her mind.

We were back into my apartment. I slowly landed my body on the couch, with a hiss and my ice-pack still on the bruised eye. Cinderella made himself home and I don't know what he was screwing in MY kitchen. I gotta kill that guy.

I hissed in pain when the Ice almost froze the bruised area. I didn't even notice my lip bleeding until I watched the red on my t-shirt.

The guy was passing by getting something when he saw me hissing and finally decided to drop the stuff and consider my well-being.

"Is it so bad?" He asked. "I thought that you were manlier than that."

I gritted my teeth and when I tried to come back at him, I hissed as my body refused to get off from the couch.

"I swear, when I'm healthy again, you wouldn't want to be around me."

"Scary. What are you gonna do? Fire me again?"

"No. I'm gonna destroy your face."

"Hm. So confusing. How did you want me to go out with you for a meal, if you are being so asshole-like with everybody?"

"I thought you were a human being, but obviously I was mistaken."

He looked angry for a second, but then his face was blank. He came and sat on the couch I was resting on and rested his elbows on my chest which fucking hurt. A lot.

"AAAAH!"

"Hm. Not so tough now huh?"

I hoped that someone would arrest him. He was committing a murder.

"GET OFF! GET OFF OF ME!"

"Hai hai."

He went to the kitchen again, and I breathed. If I had my strength, of course I would've kicked him out loooong ago.

"Oh, someone is knocking on your door." He said after we both heard desperate knocking and a familiar 'Gray-sama' from the other hand.

"WAIT! Don't you dare open the door, do you hear me?"

He smirked and crossed his arms. "Why's that?"

"JUST don't."

"Hmm. Why wouldn't I?"

"Because seriously I will kill you if you did!"

"Oh. But how? You are helplessly lying down."

"Please please please! Whatever your name is, please don't open the door!"

"Gimme a minute to think…. Hmm…"

"I will do whatever you ask, just don't open the door!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! Just say what you want and I'll do it!"

He thought about it for awhile. "Ok. Not opening the door, if you let me bandage you up, and you promised to not to stalk me or to interfere in my life again."

"Listen. I promise I won't interfere with your life and I'll leave you the hell alone, not that I want anything to do with you again, but I can't let you bandage me up and cover your crime's evidence!"

"Too bad. Door open door open…"

"NO! Okay okay! WHATEVER!"

"Good boy. A-hem… NO BODY IS HERE RIGHT NOW, PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE!"

I slapped my forehead.

"Fuck… that hurts…."

"Okay, sit yourself up."

"I can't do it you dumbass! My body hurts like hell."

He huffed and supported me to sit on the couch. My shape was miserable and my t-shirt was full of my lips' blood.

"Go get me another t-shirt from my closet!"

"I'm not your servant."

"PLEASE go and do it."

He shrugged and went to search into the rooms while I hardly tried to take off my t-shirt. Man. I was ashamed that I have those muscles and I couldn't do anything with them.

"Bastard I g-"

I turned my head slowly to his way and I noticed him stopping in the middle of the sentence which was kind of awkward. His face was looking down and he was holding the new grey t-shirt of mine tightly.

"What?"

His head snapped up and he threw the t-shirt on my head while assembling the other stuff in order to 'Bandage' me up.

I threw the piece of cloth beside me because if I wear it with my lip still bleeding, then it'll face the same fate as my previous t-shirt. He seemed to notice that so he kneeled in front of with a towel in his hands that was dipped in warm water, and….

I think neither me, nor him, believed that he was going to do this… to wipe my lip and whatnot and AGHH!

"Ouch! That hurts! Would it kill you if you became gentler?"

He glared. "That's the gentlest I could master. Got a problem?"

"….. No."

Actually after that he huffed and decided to go gentler which made me glad. I was saved for now.

His hand moved gently across my bruised lip and I saw how his eyes were concentrated on his work. And I might have sensed some of the guilt in them. Suddenly, I held his wrist and got him surprised.

"Can you… at least tell me your name?"

I sensed a faint trembling, and it wasn't good.

"Didn't you promise just ten minutes ago that you'll leave me alone? And not interfere with my life?"

"I did…. But… you know my name… I just…." I sighed and left his wrist. "…. Want to know yours."

"Can I ask you something?" He said standing up and looking down at me.

"Sure."

"Why do you keep doing this? Why do you keep talking to me? Why do you keep wanting to know about me?"

Somehow his question was hard. I didn't know myself. So I just rested my back on the couch with a groan and sighed.

"No reason. When I saw you that day on the beach… I just thought… that maybe… we could be friends, but I-um… think I ruined that. Sorry."

"Sorry? You say you are sorry? You got me fired… without even knowing me!"

"I got you fired because you bumped into my arm! Like I was some kind of a pest!"

I saw him shook his head in disappointment. Like he was expecting a better answer.

"Okay fine! I'm the biggest jerk in the world and you made me pay so you are supposed to be happy now!"

He laughed hesitantly and kneeled in front of me again taking my chin roughly to continue his work.

"Nice meeting you jackass. My name is Natsu Dragneel. You can call me Natsu."

"Wow….. you actually gave up the nuclear weapon secret…. How hard was that?"

"Very hard."

I rolled my eyes and slowly, but carefully….

"Nice to meet you… Natsu."

"Yeah yeah… that's a lot of blood… I think I really hurt you."

"DUH…."

After he finished my lip, he put some cream on my bruises and finally dressed me into my grey t-shirt and I felt suddenly thankful. He got up and rubbed the dust from his jeans and I thought that he was gonna go.

"Well…. To stop stalking me Gray, I think we can have that meal huh?"

"Not when I can't move a step out of my home."

"Who said anything about out of your home?"

I gave him a questioning look.

"We're gonna have it here."

He wasn't a bad cooker. In fact, I liked the chicken parmesan he made. We didn't talk much while eating and the atmosphere was slightly intimidating. I felt that he was forced to eat with me and I don't know why.

"So…. Cinderella, got any friends?"

He swallowed the spaghetti and rolled his eyes. "Other than my cat Happy? No."

I laughed. "Wow, you live with a cat?"

"Yes. I love him thank you very much."

"Are you sure you don't have any friends?"

"I don't. Only a girl named Lisanna, but we only see each other on weekends. We go give happy a walk outside."

"Hmm…." I hummed while I chewed on my food.

"Well, don't you want to get new friends?" I asked.

He glared at me for a while. "Friends who would force you on having a meal with them? I don't think so."

"I thought so too."

After we finished eating, he gathered his stuff from the department store and went to the door of my apartment to open it, but I did that for him since his hands was so busy.

"It was awful seeing you Gray."

"Awful seeing you too."

"Ok then, I think its goodbye."

"Goodbye."

When I closed the door behind him I sighed in relieve. What was I thinking when I wanted to be dating that guy. Natsu is a person who is so…. Kind-hearted? Gentle and innocent. And by just knowing me, I think I would corrupt him.

I chuckled and tried to smack myself for every thought of hanging out with him. Even if we got to be friends, I will never stop thinking about him and his cheerful smile, innocent look or his body in general. Thank god that Natsu isn't involved with me anymore.

I was just sad that I couldn't know him better, but I think…. That's okay, because it'll be stupid to do when I think that I…..

Have feelings for him.

I can't believe it myself.

….. Chapter Ends ….

A sneak peek? Next chapter will be about Gray actually ignoring Natsu ^^
