I don't, I don't, don't know what it is So get out, get out, get out of my mind (out of my mind)
But I need that one thing
And come on, come into my life
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
Yeah, you've got that one thing.

Gray glared as he rushed through the woods, he knew that this mission was a dumb choice but those four insisted on it. He could only hope that Erza was okay. Happy, Natsu, and Lucy had been blown in one direction and he and Erza had been separated from them and each other.
He didn't even want to think about what would happen if she was hurt, or if something happened to her. He would blame himself; she had already nearly died at the Tower Of Heaven and he almost lost her if it weren't for Natsu.
Now he couldn't let her die; she died and so many people would too.
He included, so he had to find her; Right damn now.
He looked up and saw her, feeling relieved. She was in Heavens Wheel Armor, but then her armor disappeared just as she defeated her enemy.
Gray took off running and caught her in his arms before she could hit the ground.
"Gray?" She asked groggily, she was banged up and bruised really bad.
"Sh, shut up. You can't talk now; you're in a bad condition. I'm going to get you some help; okay?" Gray said and she nodded before closing her eyes. He was worried about her so he picked her up bridal style so he could make sure she was breathing.
She had always been running through his mind, something about her was incredibly addicting to him and he couldn't tell what it was. There wasn't some kind of book that listed everything that was attractive about Erza Scarlet (though if there were his life would be a lot easier) so instead he settled for it being everything.
He looked down and saw her breathing stop. He quickly laid her on the ground and began to push on her chest.
Erza Scarlet was his perfect dream and she had been since they were kids; and now that she was in his life she sure as hell wasn't getting out that easily.
"Damn you Erza, just come back okay?" He asked while fighting away tears that he hadn't shed since Lyra's song had reminded him of Ur. He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, trying to bring her back with CPR.
When he pulled back she began to cough and her eyes slowly opened. As soon as she propped herself up on her elbows he attacked her into a hug.
"Damnit Erza, don't do that again!" He yelled and ended up crying anyway.
"W-what…?" She asked before realizing just how shaken up he was.
"You nearly died; I had to bring you back. You scared the shit out of me." He said and Erza frowned and lightly hugged him.
"I'm sorry," She said and he looked at her.
"Damn right you're sorry! I thought you were going to die- I wouldn't know what to do if that happened!" He yelled, his eyes not leaving hers. Her eyes widened.
"Why would you not know what to do Gray, you would have to move on." She said and he smacked her, and he knew that she would get him back later.
"Don't say that. I couldn't just move on if you died dumb ass!" He glared and she gave him a dumbstruck expression. She had no idea what just happened.
"What's gotten into you?" She asked after a heavy silence.
"I love you. I have since we were kids and if you died I would have died to, is that obvious enough for you?" He said before holding his head in his hands. She was so damn complex that he had to be straight forward- which he wasn't very good at when it came to girls.
He heard a gasp and he knew it was Erza, so looking over he saw Natsu, Happy, and Lucy. Lucy had been the one to gasp; she was in shock because she hadn't of expected Gray to love Erza. He had hid it so well that it was scary. Natsu was confused, he only knew that he saw Gray slap Erza and she got confused after that. Happy was trying not to ruin the mood by laughing and saying, "You loooove her," because he knew that an angry ice mage and an angry re-quip mage was a bad combination.
"Natsu, get Erza. We have to take her to get help." Gray said as he walked away from Erza, his black hair covering his eyes.
"Gray wait," Lucy tried to stop him while Erza merely stared in shock at him as he left.
Natsu lifted her up and began to carry her in the direction that Gray had left.
She didn't like the feel of the emptiness that was left in her chest after he left.

"Gray, you should go see Erza, she won't say it but she's worried that you'll leave after what happened earlier." Lucy said while sitting next to Gray and placing a hand on his shoulder. He looked at Lucy and then looked towards the door that led to Erza's hospital room. They had taken her to the hospital; she had passed out on the way there. Gray may have been in a bad mood after this morning but he hadn't left the hall way outside the door all day. He sat cross-legged right next to the door on the floor.
He hadn't stopped worrying but refused to go and see how she was himself due to extreme embarrassment after what he had let slip earlier.
"Droopy eyes get your ass in there, she's been asking for you for the last hour." Natsu said as he walked out while glaring at Gray before sitting next to Lucy.
"Shut your mouth flame brain." He grunted before standing and moving right in front of the door. His hand was shaking as it gripped the handle. This was the crossroads of fate, either he go in there now and clear things up and hopefully be okay again after some time or run away and never be able to bridge the gap after that.
He walked inside, loving her too much to run away.
"Gray?" Erza asked while looking towards the door that was hidden from her sight by a curtain. He silently walked over and moved the curtain before sitting down, finding his shoes more interesting than the beautiful red head in front of him.
"Gray, look at me," She commanded and he refused. She glared at him and reached out, grabbing a fistful of his soft black hair.
"Ow, Erza, what the hell that hurts you know!" He yelled while trying to pry her hand off his head.
"And it hurts that you won't look at me, so I'm pulling your damn hair until you look at me." She retorted easily. He nervously looked at her, and she was smiling at him with a soft look.
He had never seen that look, it was one he was sure that that damned Jellal had only ever seen, but it was enough to make his heart pound and a blush to cross his face.
"There, I'm looking at you. What now?" Gray asked, trying to sound impatient so she'd not notice his blush.
"Repeat what you said this morning, so I know that it wasn't a dream." She demanded, leveling him with a glare that scared the shit out of him.
"Aye sir!" He said and quickly repeated his confession. She let go of his hair and slid it down to cup his face. She smiled and he swears he saw a small blush.
"Okay. What's next?" She asked and he felt like his feet had been knocked out from under him.
"What?" He asked in shock. Erza rolled her eyes.
"I said what's next for us." She said and he was still confused.
"Sorry but I'm still not following." He said and she buried her face in her hands.
"You think I'm dumb sometimes." She muttered before looking at him, thoroughly embarrassed. She was so bad at this kind of stuff, and not to mention how shy she could be, so she just spit it out.
"Dumb ass I like you too." She had said it so quickly she wasn't sure that he followed her. When his face turned bright red and he began to laugh she knew that he had. She began to frantically wave her arms about in embarrassment.
"What's so funny huh? Did I say something weird? Was I wrong? What did I say?" She yelled in embarrassment and he laughed harder before regaining some sort of composer.
He reached out and placed a hand on the top of her head and kissed her.
"Well, you could start by saying that more often." He teased and she punched him in the gut.
"Shut up." She said while blushing and he laughed some more.
"You looooooove each other." Happy sang as he flew around. Gray and Erza both decided that there was going to be one less Exceed in the guild if he wasn't gone in two seconds.

They bounce in and out of Character, I kept imagining how Erza acted in chapter 264 while writing this and I wanted to write about Gray's panic when she's in danger. I sort of imagined him like he was in the Tower Of Heaven when it came to Erza and when he told Juvia that he didn't know the first thing about Erza and how his determination to get her back safe and sound made him push through the tower and fight.
Review please?
