A/N: So how long has it been since I've posted anything to this story? Like a year? Maybe two? Really hoping it hasn't been three or more but if it has I'm sooooooo sorry for those of you that were following this. I honestly have 20 pages of this written out years ago but then I hated most of it so much I had to change practically everything. Anyway less chat more write, trust me I hope to get the next chapters posted as soon as physically possible.
Ch. 7 (I'm not creative with naming these chapters so sorry that they're boring numbers unlike in my other fics)
Natsu came out of the shower and saw Gray standing there like he was frozen in his own ice. "Hey Gray, are you okay?" Natsu asked walking over to the ice mage. "Gray?" He asked again when there was no response then he noticed Gray had tears in his eyes and became worried about him. "Gray what's wrong?" He asked reaching out to touch the ice mage. Gray noticed this and flew into Natsu pinning him on the bed tears falling down his face. "Gray what's going on with you?" Natsu said as Gray collapsed on his chest crying.
"I won't let you, I can't watch you two anymore!" He said his voice cracking on him.
"Gray I don't know what you're talking about." Natsu replied pushing himself into a sitting position with the ice mage still on top of him.
"I can't watch you and that girl anymore, Natsu I love you!" He said not looking at the fire mage who was stunned.
"Wait I think there is a misunderstanding here, I'm not dating her if that's what you think." Natsu said.
"I don't care, you are always around her! You completely lost it just before we found her and you have been spending all your time with her so I haven't had any time with you at all. Don't you get it you idiot! I want to be with you!" Gray almost yelled. Natsu then pulled Gray to his side and held his face to his own before he crashed his lips into those of the ice mage. Gray didn't pull away he longed for this moment, where him and Natsu would be inseparable.
"Gray I want to be with you too." Natsu said releasing the ice mage at last. Gray just looked up at him, tears still in his eyes a shocked expression on his face. Completely dumbfounded. I wish I had a camera right now, I would totally take a picture of his face. Natsu thought before laughing at his friend still stunned.
"How can you say that after being with her for the entire day?!" Gray said feeling a rush of rage come over him.
"Her? Oh you're talking about Rena right yeah well I'm sorry for being with her I guess? I don't know." Natsu said clearly confused.
"Do you even know who she is? No one has any idea about her do they?" Gray was almost yelling again. Natsu just shook his head deciding not to tell Gray yet. Meanwhile Rensi and Lucy were chatting about magic in their room ignoring the yelling coming from the other side of the wall beside them. "So you use different types of magic instead if one kind?" Lucy asked excitedly.
"Yeah something like that, it helps when facing different types of enemies all at once. I can use different types of magic at the same time like take water and card magic for example, I can use both of them at the same time." Rensi told her.
"Wow, that's amazing! Where did you learn all of it?" Lucy asked excited she was getting to know more about the girl.
"I traveled a lot and learned from different people." Rensi lied, pushing away the urge to laugh at the irony. I lie saying I traveled a lot when really I have been trapped in a cage and isolated from everyone. Ironic. She thought to herself.
"You're so lucky I love traveling! I wish I had the ability to learn more than one type of magic, that would be thrilling!" She said with a wide smile almost like Natsu's.
Lucky? No I'm not, not lucky at all and god forbid you ever find out what luck I really have. She thought turning away from the over excited blonde. "You are a celestial wizard, the one who possesses most of the zodiac key's am I right?" She asked changing the subject though she didn't want to talk anymore she felt if she didn't the blonde would do something stupid getting her to say things she didn't want to talk about.
"Yeah, it takes work but I have all but two of them now." She said holding them in front of her.
"Impressive. It takes a lot of magic to be able to bring all of them from the spirit world as well like you did for Loke." Rensi said moving onto one of the beds.
"You know about that too?" Lucy asked.
"Lucy I know everything. By the way, your mother was an amazing person." Rensi said as she drifted off to sleep.
"Thanks." Lucy said moving onto her own bed and soon falling asleep as well.
After she could hear Lucy's deep breaths confirming she was asleep Rensi got up once again.
"It seems someone is coming." She said quietly floating through the wall using dark magic. She walked down the hall to the elevator as the door opened she stepped inside pushing the button letting her down to the main floor. Natsu could feel her magic drifting from the hotel as she walked out the doors.
"Natsu?" Gray asked bringing him back to the room. Natsu looked down at the boy who was laying in his arms now.
"What is it ice block?" Natsu asked the ice mage.
"You seem distant all of the sudden flame brain." The older boy shot back.
"Oh really? I hadn't noticed." Natsu said looking up to the ceiling. "We should get some sleep after all we have to take down whatever that guild is tomorrow." Natsu said lazily closing his eyes not bothering to move Gray from where he was.
"Right." The ice mage said slightly hurt by the fire mages change but drifting to sleep comfortably against him still.
I wonder if I can get out of here to go after her. Why is she leaving in the first place? Lucy and the others are asleep and hardly anyone should be coming into the hotel now. Natsu thought listening to Gray's steady breathing. I guess I should wait until she comes back, then I will ask her about it. He thought drifting into an uneasy sleep.
Walking along the beach with Natsu was fun, now if only I could meet up with the rest of the family. Rensi thought as she walked down a street, scenes aware of everything going on around her every step of the way. You can't be too careful after all, not with the chairman out there somewhere. She saw a slight movement from a lamp post nearby as though someone was following her. I bet that is who is looking for me. And it's someone who I am looking for in turn. She thought with a light smile on her lips making her way over to the lamp. "You no longer have to hide, I know you are there." Rensi said sitting on a bench close to the lamp. A young boy walked out from behind it, his hair was a light brown and his eyes were slightly lighter green than the grass. He wore a hoodie that was black and blue jeans with sneakers. He kept his eyes on her as though he thought she would attack him at any given moment. "I won't hurt you, your name is Taiyo right? The younger brother of Zeref." She asked mentioning her brother's name. Taiyo nodded at the mention of his older brother. He had seen this girl in pictures with his older brother yet she never came up in conversation and the topic was usually avoided. In fact the topic of his older brother's childhood was always completely avoided by him and no one else really knew.
"Who are you." Taiyo asked stepping towards her slightly more now.
"I am someone very important in your older brother's life, what are you doing out so late without anyone to accompany you?" Rensi asked in return. Taiyo looked down at the ground for a moment or two.
"Looking for someone who can make my brother happy." He said finally with tears in his eyes.
"I see, you should head back to your brother now though. He will become worried if you don't, I will come see both of you soon alright?" Rensi said patting the boy on his head before turning him in the direction in which he came.
"Do you promise?" Taiyo asked looking up at her again. Rensi nodded a small smile gracing her face and the young boy's as well before he skipped off again.
I should head back now that I have taken care of him. Rensi thought keeping her senses aware again as she rose into the air and flew back into the hotel and walking through the wall back to her bed again.
Rensi is back, I wonder what she went to do. Natsu thought when he felt her presence return again. Gray woke slightly when he felt Natsu wake and become still. He debated on looking up at the onyx eyed boy that he was still, half laying on.
"Natsu?" He asked finally turning his eyes to the boy whose head was slightly above his own.
"What is it Gray?" Natsu asked not bothering calling him one of his signature nicknames. Natsu's reply was distant, as though he was thinking on something else entirely. This caused Gray to sit up and tower over the boy under him now, he wanted to know what was on the other's mind seeing as he was so distracted.
"What do you keep thinking about?" Gray asked pleading for an answer.
"Is that why you woke up?" Natsu asked dodging the question. Gray nodded slightly before Natsu's arm pulled him back down on top of him. "Don't worry so much, just sleep alright." Natsu said lightly combing through the raven's hair.
"Can't you tell me?" Gray asked silently wondering if Natsu wasn't happy as he made out to be earlier. Natsu stared down at the other in his arms.
"I will tell you in time." He said not at all sounding like himself, he smiled down at Gray before intertwining his hand in the ice mage's. "Now sleep, we have a big day tomorrow." He said closing his own eyes as he felt the other relax.
A/N: Once I can see the word count of this I may add more to this chapter because why not and it could probably use it. Thanks again for being patient and though I still need to fix and change a lot of stuff I promise it won't be as shitty as it started. Yes I rushed the relationship incredibly fast, that's never gonna happen again. ~Rena-chan.
