Lucy turned her head, seeing the raven looking at the two of them. A deep crimson blush rushed over her pale cheeks, she had no idea they had been followed, she thought she and Natsu were alone, that's why she had leaned in for a kiss. She placed her head down, feeling embarrassed, her blonde hair covering her deep brown eyes.

Natsu turned his head from his friend and then back towards his love, he stepped forward his right arm out, the pinkett's chest tightened as Gray took a step back.

"It's n-not what y-y-you think Gray, she…she kissed m-me, please don't go" the teen begged, his green eyes filling with salty warm tears "Please don't leave again" he mumbled, biting down on his bottom lip

Lucy remained silent, her voice lost as she felt tears beginning to form in her own eyes. Her smooth pink lips began to trembled, her fists clenched as she held back her emotions, she had to, and there was no way she was breaking down here in front of the one she loved.

At first she had hoped that her crush on Natsu would fade but after Gray had left her feelings only became stronger as she spent more time with him, she had never once thought about Gray returning not after everything he had put Natsu through. Now here he was, crushing her chance and causing her best friend, her love to cry. Slowly she lifted her head up, frowning she looked over in the raven's direction.

"What are you doing back here?" she asked, her voice suddenly filled with anger

Natsu turned his head around once more, looking at the blonde in confusion

"Don't you think you've hurt Natsu enough? Just running out on him like that, how dare you come back here thinking you can just take Natsu back?"

"Lucy…" Natsu mumbled

"I'm sorry…" the raven whispered

"Sorry won't change what you did!" Lucy quickly snapped back

"I know it won't" Gray turned his head to the side, his raven locks covering his dark eyes "I know what I did was wrong, I should have never left, I understand that now, that's why I'm back"

"You should have never left to beginning with, do you know how many nights I have had to listening to him cry! How many days I have tried to comfort his broken heart!"

Gray gritted his teeth as he listened to the blonde's hurtful words,

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry…if I could change my actions I would but I can't, I can't and that's why I'm here now…to make everything right again"

"You shouldn't be forgiven, you shouldn't have his love if this is how you return yours, dump him whenever you feel scared or unsure"

"I didn't dump him, I had no choice!" Gray screamed, looking up, tears flooding his dark sapphire eyes

"Then why? Why did you go?"

"Stop, please stop" Natsu begged, tears streaming down his burning cheeks "P-Please…no more"

"He doesn't deserve you Natsu…!" Lucy turned towards her friend

"No…no" the pinkette sobbed "Y-our w-w-wrong"

"Please listen to me, please Natsu"

"NO!" the teen screamed, clenching his fist, he shook his head "I won't listen to you or anyone else, I love him with every bit of my heart and I know he loves me to and nothing or no one will ever break that, ever! Not you, not my dad, not society, I will always love him!"

"Natsu…" the blonde mumbled, covering her mouth with her hand

The pinkette looked away, his head down as he choked back his tears. Gray slowly walked over to him, not saying anything. He lifted his arms up and gently pulled Natsu into him, holding the pinkette to his chest. The raven rested his cheek on top of the other's head, closing his eyes as he held his uke.

"I love you too Natsu, more than anything in this world, I promise…no one else but you" he paused for a moment as he slowly moved Natsu back so he could look at him

"Will you forgive me?" he asked, his voice low and almost shaking

Natsu looked up, the setting sun glowed in his emerald green eyes. He sniffled, wiping his wet cheeks.

"Y-Yes of c-course just please don't e-ever leave me a-again"

"I won't" Gray whispered "Never…ever…again, I promise you"

The raven leaned down, lifting his arm up and cupping the uke's warm, moist cheek. Natsu reached up, his right hand gripping the seme's black shirt as their lips gently pressed together. Natsu eye's slowly fluttered closed as he melted into the sweet passionate kiss, a single happy tear escaping his eye.

They were together again…
