Natsu trembled in his seat, "Wh-what did you s-see?"

"Look Natsu, we want-" Lucy started, but Natsu was quick to cut her off, "I didn't ask for a damn excuse."

They were startled by Natsu's sudden outburst, so Gray tried instead, with the truth, "We saw everything...we are so sorry."

Gray's friends were astonished by his genuine apology.

Natsu's bandana was soaked now, "I-I came here...t-to have a fresh start. Y-you could've w-waited 'til I was ready to tell you, b-but you had to stick your noses in my business...You c-couldn't wait."

"Natsu..." Loke sat, guilt being the main thing he felt.

Erza spoke up, "Natsu, we're so sorry. You are right, we shouldn't have done that."

Lucy looked at the floor, "We hope you can forgive us."

They all heard whispering from behind them. Natsu, ignored it, being blind enhanced his hearing, so he could hear bits and pieces, and he didn't like it at all.

"They had heard our conversation," Natsu frowned being silent for awhile, "They looked up my name..."

*RING*

Natsu sighed, "Guys...I forgive you."

Everyone then let out a breathe of relief.

"But..." His friends froze, "No more snooping."

"Deal," they all said.

Natsu smiled then said, "See you at lunch." And he left.


They were expecting lunch to be awkward, but it wasn't...at least not as awkward as they thought. People stared at them and whispered, but it didn't bother Natsu that much.

"Natsu, there is no point in learning numbers!" Gray says frustrated. His friends laughing at them and having their own conversation.

Natsu huffed, "You're the one that wanted to learn. I didn't want to learn, so you should at least be a little less stubborn."

"Ugh," Gray pouted, "Why do I need learn the numbers, huh? They aren't useful."

Natsu laughed.

"What's so funny?" Gray asks.

"Sorry...but Gray none of this is useful to you," Natsu says. Gray looked at him confused, so Natsu went on, "Well if you were to become blind, God forbid. But...you aren't, so it isn't useful."

"It is useful now," Gray says serious, "If you were to, right something down I would understand."

Natsu snickered, "You sure about that?" Natsu flipped his dot board, so Gray couldn't see it. He then wrote on a piece of paper some dots.

"Close your eyes," Gray did as he was told. Natsu made Gray brush over some dots and he didn't understand. Except one...it was the beginning of the sentence and it was the letter 'I'.

Gray sighed and said, "You're right. I don't understand."

Natsu giggled, "Told you so."

Natsu traced his own fingers over it again maybe he wanted Gray to see it...NO! That's crazy!...

'I like you.'

His feelings don't matter he'll just get in the way of things and even if Gray knew what it said he wouldn't feel the same way especially since they just met and he suddenly developed feelings for him. That's a little weird...Then Natsu thought about it a little more...All those Disney princesses fell in love at first sight...wait that wouldn't work for him. His head was starting to hurt, so he just ignored it all.

Natsu put his stuff away and then turned to his friends before the bell rang he asked softly, "Guys...can you walk home with me?"

They stared at him for awhile surprised by the question. Then he was answered with, "Of course."

Natsu smiled and the bell rang right on time, "Great see you then!"


Natsu walked with his friends. He told them he would answer any question they had for him.

Erza started first, "If you had to choose between chocolate cake or strawberry cake which one would you take?"

Natsu looked confused then said, "That's not what I meant, but I guess chocolate."

Erza looked down, "Oh okay."

Lucy thought about it, "Any question?"

"Any question," Natsu smiled.

Lucy then asked, "How do you know where we are going?"

"To be honest, I guide by smells and sounds in the area," Natsu thought this may be confusing for them, "For example, there should be a bunch of cats ahead with an old lady...she is my neighbor and she's really nice."

Just as he said that they began to here cat noises. They saw an old lady with pink hair rocking back and forth and petting a kitten.

"Natsu, don't tell me those people are staying over at your place!" She yelled a the boy scaring the kitten in her lap.

Natsu panicked. He turned around to them, "Are you guys staying over?"

They said no to Natsu's relief.

He sighed, "No! Ms. Porlyusica! They're just walking home with me."

"Thank goodness! You know how much I hate people, child," Ms. Porlyusica yelled back.

Natsu sighed and kept walking.

Loke then said, "Um I got a question...What happened to her being nice?!"

"Oh, well she's nice to me."

Everyone just talked and laughed the for the next couple meters.

Natsu turned suddenly to a house and walked up the steps, "Bye guys! See ya' later."

Natsu heard several goodbyes as he went inside.
