Hi there! So this the last Chapter! I think I would have liked to make it last longer but, wasn't sure I had enough ideas to leave some more suspense...Anyways! Might do a seventh chapter, an M-rated bonus... Ah ha ha! I'd like to thanks everyone for your support! Bonne lecture!
-Only three weeks-
After waking up under the mocking chuckles of the blue exceed. The two boys started walking with tense faces. No word were exchanged between Gray and Natsu when they were down town because every time they looked or talk to each other, Happy commented, rolling his tongue, making the mages mentally curse him.
But the teasing cat didn't have enough. This was way too big for him to stop: Gray and Natsu! Natsu and Gray! Kissing! That was just... Merely impossible but, as it's said, everything is possible with Fairy Tail! So with a Cheshire's smile, he flew in front of a shop's window and pointed out two cups with pink hearts all over it.
-Oooh! Sooo sweet! Said Happy.
-Oh shut up Happy!
Natsu had enough and was fed up with the teasing already. His shout attracted the attention from the crowd.
-So what if I've kiss and slept with him?! It's not a reason to make such deal about it!
Gray wanted to kill himself right now. Natsu just shouted this out in front of men, women and children, perfect strangers that were now looking at him, the man from the pink hair's tales. Some mothers even hid their children's eyes. "Why... Oh god why did I choose someone like this..." He prayed nobody recognized them. Happy looked surprised too. Natsu's only reaction was to stare to the observer with a wild look, then walk away nonchalantly. The two other followed him, without a word until the train station.
Happy looked unhappy. Strangely enough. Head, ears, tail, paws and wings pointing down. Flying or mostly erring in front of Gray. Natsu, him, was few steps ahead, still nervous. He stopped on the platform.
-Okay, you two stay here; I'm going to valid the tickets and get something to drink.
Gray wanted to leave the inseparable friends, so he walked away.
The dragon slayer, the beast of burning power, turn his eyes to the little blue cat, only able to fly. "Oh Happy don't be sad you're such a dear friend to me..." The warm hands nicely grabbed the small creature and push him gently into his arms. The exceed's paw stretched to hug.
-I'm Sorry Natsu... I didn't want to make you feel so angry...
-It's okay... He smiled I've got way too angry...
Once the ice-mage came back, Happy and Natsu were the best friends again. They laughed, teased, talked they usual non-sense and bla bla bla... At least, Natsu was smiling. It made the frozen heart beat from happiness.
-The train's here. He said.
Natsu's smile turned into a blame face.
-Train...? I'm not sure... Magnolia's not far we could walk...
-Stop being a pussy would ya?
-What d'ya want?! I'm sure not a pussy! Punk!
-So get in the train!
He grabbed Natsu and pushed him in the train, not dealing with this shit after all the trouble he had by getting here. Surely not gonna walk home!
The doors closed, and Natsu already felt sick.
-It haven't even moved yet... Commented Gray.
Gray's black shoes stepped on Magnolia's platform. "Home..!" he thought. Natsu's pink head landed on Magnolia's platform.
-Huh... Was his last breath.
-Come on Natsu. Cheered Happy.
-Yeah... Coming...
The still ill dragon slayer stood up bravely and started walking, dizzily. Gray smiled. He still loves to see Natsu be a total idiot.
Soon after, they stepped in the guild under the welcoming of their friends. Natsu was being windy on the way he defeated a whole black guild. Gray was outdoing on his-self.
It was cheerful and messy, as it always seem to be. As if the building itself kept memories from the mages, that were, that are, and coming to be. Especially keeping the moments of happiness. And this ceiling, those walls and stones... Will they keep the memories of two young boys that wanted to grow up to fast? Two young boys and the looks they were sometimes, discretely, throwing each other with a sparkle of complicity.
The next morning, the arriving at the guild was on the late 10, still hang-overs from last night. Natsu was still having breakfast and Gray tried to deal with an alcohol breath and a head-ache. He sipped his coffee. Lucy came by and sit with him.
-So? When are you two gonna tell us all? She smiled and the ice-mage nearly spitted out the hot liquid on her.
- Wha... What are you talking about? He said after swallowing slowly.
-Of course you know what I'm talking about. I've noticed something else then friendship lately...
Gray was stoned by the stellar-mage. Was it this obvious?! He started to look ill.
-Don't worry nobody else knows She added with a confused smile.
After a sigh, Gray responded.
-You're crazy? Telling everyone? I'm sure Natsu would say no as well, even if he often looks like he doesn't care at all about those things.
-I understand, but we're your friends, I'm sure you'll have some tease but everybody will be happy for you, because you are happy. And it's Natsu who taught me this.
Gray smiled confusingly, she was right. Not as if he was scared about what the others will think about this relationship, but because he didn't even knew what state were their mentioned relationship. Lucy leaved with a sweet and teasing smile of her, she always looked cute in Gray's eye.
Too cute for the dragon slayer who noticed Gray turning his head to see Lucy leave. Natsu just ignored it, but still felt a bit pointy. He was in right to feel jealous...But still Gray wasn't his boyfriend... Or maybe he is... Well Natsu wasn't sure he was in right to feel jealous and complain about it.
Days, weeks... Time passed by and what happened between the Ice-Mage and the Dragon Slayer was kept secret and forgotten. They did not even talk about it only the two of them. But feelings were still here, hiding as they did before all the story came up.
Gray woke up naked in his bed, looked through the window. "Three weeks have past now... It seems everything turned to normal again..." He stretched and got up, walked around the house in his most natural clothing... At the same moment the door crushed.
-Hey! Gray!
The Dragon Slayer who didn't knew the use of a door bell came face to face with the Ice-mage.
-Natsu?!
-Gray?!
Natsu's eyes noticed his friend was stark naked, well, more the usual. His eyes went straight down on the other male's virility. He burst out in laughter while Gray quickly hide him-self behind a pillow.
-Stop laughing! Idiot!
-No! Aha ha ha!
Gray rolled his eyes and threw the pillow across the living room, right into the pink head. Then he climbed the stairs. Green eyes looking his butt; slightly tanned cheeks blushing. This damn exhibitionist was sexy, for sure. The fired up idiot was pulled out of his day dreaming once the dark haired boy came back, dressed.
-So wha'd'ya want for coming here? He sighed.
-Hm... Lucy asked me too. She's ill and can't move out of bed until Wendy's spelling fully heal her.
-Oh...
Gray still didn't understand why Lucy has sent Natsu here.
-You have a book of hers that she'd like to take back.
-Ah, I see.
He walked to the sofa and took a book sitting on the table next to it. Natsu took it and red the tittle: "The crimson flower under clouds."
-What a strange title. Comment Natsu.
-It's still a very good book.
-Yeah yeah...
-You don't like reading, do you?
-I don't know... Some of them are really complicated...! And I prefer hearing stories than reading them.
-Like little kids.
-Shut up!
Gray laughed. It was so easy to make Natsu look angry and get on his high horse.
-Had breakfast? He asked to the still cranky fire boy.
-Nope, was hopping for Lucy to feed me.
-Where's Happy?
-With Lucy.
Gray sit to the kitchen table after pulling out a second cup and plate, and poured black coffee in the two mugs. Natsu took the seat in front of Gray.
After eating the walked down to Lucy's and climbed eat the window to get in. Lucy scowled them again.
-Here's your book.
Gray handed it to Lucy.
-Ah thanks. She coughed. Sorry to take it back but Levy's asked for it.
-I finished it. No worry.
-You can take another one on the shelves if you want.
Gray smiled. Lucy smiled too. Natsu was had a sulk about it. But the two friends didn't notice it. The ice-mage moved and stop in front of Lucy's book collection to find something interesting. Not that he was a great reader like Lucy or Levy. But it was sometime nice to evade trough writings.
-Loooooove! Whispered Happy to Natsu's ear.
-No! I'm not..! It's not...! Ah! Happy!
Natsu chased after the flying cat, still mocking him.
-Don't run around! You gonna break something! Shouted Lucy in panic.
Eventually, the two boys and the cat were kicked out by the overly tired stellar-mage.
-You really can't behave, can you?
-Oh stop it! Happy Started!
The named exceed was giggling in front of them.
-Stop it! Continued Natsu.
-What's the matter, Happy? Said Gray in a sigh, not sure he wanted to know.
-Natsu's in looooooove!
The two males blushed, and the cat continued.
-So is Grrrrray!
And a race started all over the city. But Happy could fly and disappeared, leaving the fire-mage and the ice-mage in the middle of nowhere. It was now eleven o'clock and Fairy Tail's comrades started to wonder where the blond-hair, the dark-hair and the pink-hair teenagers could be.
-Damn! If I catch him... Said Natsu, catching his breath.
-Tss! When will he stop teasing us?
A silence. Three weeks when the could sometimes forget about it. And the moment the cat could tease them, he didn't miss it.
-I thought it was over as well... Finally answered Natsu.
-You know... Lucy has more or less guessed what was happening...
Natsu looked shocked.
-Seriously?!
-Yeah... She came up and asked me when we will announce it to the guild.
They were heading Fairy Tail's building.
-Announce what we've done?
Natsu didn't look keened by the idea of telling everybody he had sex and kisses with the other one.
-She must think we're a couple. So she meant announcing our relationship... He blushed. Well, we're not even in this kind of relationship...!
-Of course not...!
-Absolutely not. Added the ice-mage.
They stayed silent, staring at their thoughts. They both denied the fact they were a couple but they were still wondering. After all, it's not like the problem was solved. Gray turned his eyes to his friend, observing the details of his face. Big eyes, with a green but also amber color. They were like two precious stones Gray would steal if he had to in order to have them. He stopped in front of the guild's open gates that were welcoming them. His friend looked at him with a curious eye. But the ice-mage just followed the other one without a word.
-Where have you been? Asked Erza, looking the two males come in.
-Lucy's ill, we went to check on her.
-I hope she'll heal quickly.
Natsu just joined Happy with an evil smile. The rest of the day as it always is... Until four o'clock. "It's fucking my mind up... What should I do...?" Gray thought. His grey eyes met Natsu's beautiful gaze. For few seconds they didn't move. Natsu stood up. Gray followed and started walking straight at him. Looking daggers at each other, they we're dangerously approaching. Erza was keeping a close eye on them.
-Wha'd'ya want? Asked Natsu in a dark voice.
-Got a problem...?!
Gray grabbed Natsu's shirt to hold on it. Natsu had a tight grip on Gray's wrist. Erza was even more attentive. Both pulled. Their lips were now sealed. Delightfully snatching the other one's mouth, they couldn't give a shit about anything else around. What happened? They don't really know. Maybe their body being so close could only end to this. Kissing silently, the whole guild's attention were on them with shocked faces. The kissing slowly broke.
-I love you, Gray... Natsu whispered with a smile.
-I love you too... Idiot.
The end...! Badabum da! (Don't ask xD). Hope you enjoyed those 6 small chapters and that I improved my writing style (And grammar!).
Moy-Kun.
