Disclaimer: I don't own FT nor do I own dear Gray! It is tragedy waaah!

Now on with the fic~

Colorless Life

Black Ice

"Juvia!" Levy said as Gajeel quickly caught Juvia's limp figure before it could hid the ground. The whole guild was drowning in waves of sadness as they mourned over the death of the one and only ice mage of their guild. The rain was already plummeting down outside signifying Juvia's sadness. The once lively guild was now being swept in the rain of remorse as they cried, wailed, bawled at the hole which had just been made in their guild.

"How?...Natsu, Erza tell me what had happened" Makarov asked as salty liquid spilled from his eyes. Erza explained everything from Gray's strange behavior to how they came across his body.

"You mean that he was feeling uneasy since you all just stepped on the island?" Mira enquired as Lucy nodded being the one to see Gray's behavior as he had stepped on the island and was walking behind the lot in trance like state.

"I think we should get ready for the funeral" Levy said as she wiped some of her tears only for new to appear.

"Levy, Freed, can you both inform Lyon and others about it also" Master said as both Levy and Freed went to give the sad news to others with Warren tagging along so they can use telepathy. By the time the three were giving everyone what had happened the others were preparing for the funeral which was to be held the next day.

~Lamia Scale~

Everything was normal in the guild. Lyon was sitting at the bar while drinking icy cool water with many ice chunks in it when suddenly he felt as if someone was connecting with him through telepathy.

'Lyon…can you hear me?' Levy's voice came from the other side. It was hoarse and voices of sniffling and sobs were also coming making Lyon understand that something bad must've happened.

"What happened Levy? Did something bad happened?" Lyon asked as Levy started crying scaring Lyon further as Freed's voice came.

'Lyon…Gray…Gray is…he is notwithusanymore!' Freed said quickly as he was scared he will start crying in between. Lyon was just trying to process the information he had just got as he literally screamed in horror.

"What! What are you saying! Don't go fucking kidding like this! It can't be!"He yelled back as fear gripped at his senses. His sudden outburst scared everyone in the guild as Jura came towards him with worry written all over his face. He was shocked to see the salty liquid running down Lyon's eyes as his hands fell limply at his side while he sobbed.

"Lyon! What happened!? " Chelia asked as Lyon continued with the waterworks.

"Gray…How can…" he said as Jura placed his hand on his shoulders and gripped him reassuringly.

"Lyon, tell us what happened to Gray. Is he okay?" Obabaa asked as Lyon shooked his head while looking down at the floor.

"Gray…died!" he burst out in new train of sobs and cries as everyone was beyond shocked by this time.

"What! What are you saying!" Ren asked, he was here to meet Sherry with Hibiki, Eve and Ichiya tagging along. All of them were at the bar when Lyon's yells has scared them.

"Levy, Freed….they just told me" Lyon answered as wiped away his eyes and started to head outside.

"Lyon? Where are you going?" Jura asked as Lyon looked at him, his eye devoid of any light or emotion they held before which scared Jura.

"I am going to Fairy Tail to see the truth with my own eyes" he said before he went away with others following him afterwards. Through the whole journey, Lyon was as quiet as never. He neither ate nor drank. He was shocked beyond belief to even have forgotten about even something named as food. When they got off at the station they straight headed to Fairy Tail. They spotted the guild but now it gave off the aura of remorse and sadness. Just as Lyon caught the eye of the banner of the guild, he dashed towards it not caring for the calls for him from behind. He spotted the double oak doors and kicked them open.

"Gray! Where is he!" Lyon said over the eerily quiet guild hall of Fairy Tail as everyone looked at him because of his sudden entry. Soon Jura and others like the Trimen from Blue Pegasus and Chelia were also behind him.

"Good to see you are all here" Master said as he greeted them. Lyon cared less for all that and was just trying to find his junior ice mage.

"Tell me where is Gray" Lyon said through his teeth as finally the appearance of everyone in the guild registered in his mind. Everyone was wearing black or white clothes and their eyes appeared red and puffy. No alcohol was being served in the guild, even Cana's booze barrels were nowhere to be found.

"Lyon, I am sorry but what Levy and Freed told you is the truth." Makarov said while trying to keep a check on his emotions. Losing one of his own children was utterly painful for a parent which implied on him also. He was heart-broken to say the least especially after he got to know how dreadfully his son had died on that island. Lyon was shaking with fury, anger but mostly with the unheard sobs. Unshed tears made his vision blurry to the point he wasn't even able to recognize even a single face.

"Lyon…" Jura said as he placed a comforting hand on the shoulder of the younger man. With that, the ever so cocky ice mage burst into cries of sadness as the whole guild, especially the cry babies of the guild, followed the suit.

"How…who did that to him! I am going to fucking kill the person who even thought to hurt him!" Lyon yelled as the cries turned into yells filled with pure rage and anger. Frost was already emanating from his body as he looked at the master for answers.

"the person, or should I say the demon, responsible for the fate befallen on Gray was already terminated by Gray himself but the extent of the injuries was so high that it became fatal" master explained as the rage which once had surrounded the ice mage's senses was gone. Suddenly something crashed in him from behind as he and the intruder both fell on the ground with a dull thud. Jellal entered afterwards as he helped Meredy up then helped Lyon.

"Tell me what you said was a lie!" Meredy said as new tracks of salty liquid were made on her already damp face. Jellal was no better than her but knew how to keep his emotions in limits.

"How can you let Gray die! How! You promised Ultear! You promised her you will keep him safe! So why!" Meredy cried as she punched her fists on Erza's armor as Jellal held her back while Erza gave no reaction at all, lost in her own misery.

"I am sorry Meredy, I was not able to keep my promise…I…Gray…I am sorry" Erza said with her head hung low as her bangs covered her water filled eyes. Without any word, she went to the farthest table and sat down with Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Romeo, Charles and Wendy. Meredy just hugged Jellal tightly while crying as he took her inside with him to the rest of what remained of Team Natsu. Lyon was beyond shocked as he had literally become unresponsive.

"Lyon?" Chelia said as she looked at the suddenly so quiet ice mage. This brought the attention of nearly everyone near them to Lyon.

"Lyon? What happened? Lyon! Answer me! Lyon!" Jura said as he shook Lyon with his shoulders as Lyon suddenly started shaking violently while frost covered the ground from where he was standing.

"No…I don't believe this…Gray..he was the only one I had left from my little family…Ur left and now…no I don't believe it! I will never believe it! Gray wasn't allowed to leave me! He..was the only little brother I ever had!" Lyon said as his magic emitted from his body like a blizzard. The whole guild was covered with a layer of shining ice as new layers started to form.

"Lyon! Stop this! Please! Accept the truth Lyon!" Makarov said as he tried to stop the ice mage but the power of Lyon's emotions was fuelling his magic, making it impossible to reach to the ice mage. Suddenly Laxus jumped on the ice mage and struck him with a short bolt of lightning to make him lose conscious and it worked. Lyon slumped to the frost covered ground as Laxus easily lifted him on his back and faced everyone else who were just gawking at him.

"If I hadn't did that then we all would've become human popsicles" he said as he took the ice mage to the infirmary to lay him down on one of the beds. As both of them were out of sight, everybody else went and sat down on a table to talk about what had happened and something along that. All in all the guild was really gloomy, even Asuka was crying silently for her nii chan had left her.

"What had exactly happened Makarov?" Jura asked as Makarov looked at him with saddened eyes as he tried to smile weakly but it only added to show how broken he was from inside. He explained everything from how Gray had went on the island with his team and how he lost his life after exhausting himself and falling down from the cliff.

"The perfume is so sad" Ichiya commented as he shed tears for the ice mage. Even though both of them hadn't known been that much of friends but still he was a nakama and every nakama was alike.

"Master the preparations for the funeral are ready" Jet informed, his voice hoarse as he took his leave to make some last moment arrangements.

"What about Lyon and Juvia?" Hibiki asked as he noticed the water mage wasn't there meaning she also must've been shocked till core like the ice mage.

"I will go wake them up, you all can go outside" Mira said while wearing a short pain filled smile. Everyone was heading outside to the Cardia Cathedral while the ones who were not in the mourning wear went to change. In an hour, everyone was standing in front of the beautiful pearl white grave marker which marked that one of Fairy Tail's precious son's was resting here for all eternity. Master, Juvia and some others had said their departing messages for their dearest son, brother, friend who had left them. Lyon was unresponsive for most of the time till he broke down when the ceremony was coming to a close and the coffin was being buried. He was worse than an infant as Jura comforted him, being the father figure he was towards the ice mage. Juvia was no better and the rain which was plummeting down told everything of what was Juvia going through now. Loki was comforting Lucy as she cried on his shoulder while Jellal tried to console both Meredy and Erza. Natsu just stood quietly while the rain mixed with his numerous tears. He felt angry at himself for not noticing the changes in the ice mage. If they , no, if HE would've noticed it before then his dearest brother, he will now admit it in front of the whole kingdom, would've been here and they would've likely being fighting like usual in the guild.

'Why did you have to leave us you ice princess! I will never forgive you and your sorry ass! You hear me!' he screamed mentally, wishing for his message to reach his lost friend. He slumped to the ground as he punched it furiously, venting out all his fury, rage, anger but mostly remorse and sadness through his fists in the form of flames. Like this they all just stood under the grey sky, making them remember their own they had lost because the day was just like the lost one's name, Gray.
