I do not own Fairy Tail. So here's the chapter. Sorry that it's cheesy, this is the first romance I've ever written so it was sort of a hit and miss chapter.

I slammed my bedroom door shut before Lyon could even say hi. A hand was held over my mouth, still warm from Natsu's lips. What the hell was that idiot thinking?! I felt my knees go wobbly and I slid to the ground. Why did he have to do that?

Natsu's smiling face kept coming into my head. I held my hands on my skull in frustration. I do not like boy. I do not like boys. I do not like bo-

His sparky personality popped into my head.

I do not like boys!

His pink hair came into my mind.

I do not li-

His lively eyes came into my mind's eye.

I do no-

His wide smile trespassed into my thoughts.

I…

A lump started to form in my throat. The funny feeling I had the other day came back. It felt like I was hit by a brick wall as realization broke into my head. I broke out into a cold sweat. There was no way I was getting out of this.

I like Natsu…

"Erza, please!"

I held my hands over my head for protection. The fierce scarlet stood over, delivering punishment that would make harden criminals whimper in terror. "How could you be so disgraceful? A gentleman doesn't force himself on others."

Lucy looked on helplessly from the sidelines. She mouthed 'I'm sorry' and gave me a weak smile. I shouldn't have told her anything. Of course if I did that Erza would find out, but I needed to know what to do. "I think he's had enough." Lucy whispered in fear.

The scarlet turned and gave the blonde a death glare. "Shall you suffer too? What was this I heard about 'asserting' yourself?"

The blonde shook in fear. "I-I didn't mean it like that."

"Bu- but Erza, Gray need to know I liked him." I sniveled. The scarlet turned back to me in fury.

"He's had enough." Loke finally spoke up. "If anything he doesn't have a chance now. You blew it, Natsu."

I hung my head. Of course I ruined it, I ruined everything. Gray was never going to talk to me again and it was my entire fault. I brushed away a tear forming in my eyes. "Thanks for everything." I mumbled.

I pushed myself up from Lucy's bed and walked towards the door. "Natsu, what are you going to do?" Lucy had the sound of concern in her voice.

"Nothing, I wrecked everything."

Natsu didn't talk to me at school on Monday. The rosy haired teen kept his distance from me. Is he going to leave for good? I watched him out of the corner of my eye. He had his head down, keeping eye contact from me.

He didn't even come near me. Every time he saw me he put as much space between us as he could. Aren't I the one who's supposed to be distant? It felt like my heart was breaking. He didn't even give his cheerful smile to anyone today.

Please be okay.

…

I saw Gray at school. He had the same emotionless expression that he had when I first met him. He must hate me. I kept my distance. I didn't want him running again; it was too painfully the last two times. He never came up to me to yell for what I did. He probably didn't even bother to look at me.

I don't deserve to have his attention.

I buried my head into my arms. I felt a small tugging on my legs and knew it was Happy. The blue cat had been worried all weekend. I had hardly eaten, haven't even bother to talk to him the past few days. I mostly stayed in bed with my door locked.

"Natsu," The small cat sounded like he was going to cry. "Please don't be sad."

I didn't say anything for what felt like a lifetime. Hesitantly I reached out and petted his soft, blue fur. "Don't worry about me. It's just heartbreak."

I stared at the ceiling of my room. My heart tightened as my thoughts rolled over a certain boy on my mind. His soft, pink colored hair. Those kind black as night eyes. That bright and energetic smile he hasn't worn for me today.

I rolled over and pulled a pillow over my head, trying to get the thoughts out of my head. He's just Natsu.

A wave of guilt washed over me at the thought.

But he's my Natsu.

…

It was the same routine the next day. He didn't come near me. Didn't wave or say hi. Just moved away from me when he saw me. His blithe grin was still missing from his features. My heart squeezed in pain at that.

I can't take it anymore.

I was slowly starting to make my way back home. Everything around me had started to become grey and dull to my senses. I felt something warm grip my shoulder.

"Can we talk?"

A wave of dread came onto me. I didn't even have to look at who the hand belonged to. He's finally come to tell me to disappear. I gave a small nor in response. The raven led me to a small park, the very one I had tried confessing to him at.

I locked my eyes firmly on Natsu's, not letting his gaze break away. How do I do this. "Look, Natsu, about the other day," The pinkette looked like he was about to start tearing up. "It's just, that…" Small tears were forming in his eyes.

"Please don't cry." I reached out and pulled Natsu's body and crushed it against my own. I wrapped my arms around him, trying to comfort him.

"Ga- Gray?"

"Please don't cry. It's a crime to see you sad. Just smile, okay?"

I pulled away from him. He gave me another small nod. "The other day… I sort of overreacted. I'm not mad at you."

His eyes brightened at that. "Really?" His smile started to return.

"Really." His smile broke out fully. "It's just," I looked down at the ground nervously. "it happened so fast, and…" I took in a deep breath. "Can we maybe go a little slower?"

Natsu froze, only maaaging to blink a few times. "We? As in…"

I nodded sheepishly. "I really like you too. I'm just… not ready t-"

Natsu wrapped his arms around me. "Yes, just tell me when you're ready."

I nodded, a little shocked. "Jus- just not too fast. I'm not used to the idea yet."
