(Natsu's POV)
I can't believe Gajeel would be so stupid as to leave the hospital in his condition. It just pisses me off to know that he would risk his health for something so stupid. We turned a corner and headed down the street. "Gray, I hope he's alright." I said. He looked down at me and smiled slightly. "I'm sure we'll find him soon and we'll make sure he gets plenty of rest." He said. I smiled; Gray knows exactly what to say to me. We walked closer to an alley way and I started to feel a familiar magical energy source.
Something grabbed my arm and I shrieked as I was pulled into the alley. When I stopped I was turned to see Gajeel holding onto my wrist. "Gajeel." I said. He smirked, "Hello pinky." He said. "GRAY." I yelled. He turned me around and placed a knife to my neck. I lifted my head a little bit so it wasn't so close to my neck. Oh my god, is he gonna kill me for almost killing him. "GRAY." I screamed in a panic. I heard footsteps coming towards the alley way and I saw Gray heading my way. "NATSU." He yelled out to me. He stopped 3 feet in front of me and I was really scared. "Alright Ice boy now that you're here I have an offer for you." He said.
Gray looked at me and I was starting to shake slightly. "Please Gray. You have to help me." I said. He looked like he was in a tight spot. "Alright what do you want Gajeel?" He asked. Gajeel smirked, "You let me have Natsu and we can go home and you never talk to him again and Natsu gets to live." He said. My eyes widened and I looked back at Gray. "Gray don't do it." I said. He looked back at me; I had tears running down my face. "I can't live without you. And I don't want to live a life with him. Please don't accept his offer." I cried.
His eyes showed disbelief but this is the only way I'll be happy. "Why have you been hurting Natsu in the first place?" Gray asked. Gajeel growled, "I have a perfectly good reason why he deserves his punishment." He said. The knife at my neck began to shake slightly and I was getting nervous he would cut me. "This punk deserves to be punished because his fucking cat stole Lily from me." He yelled. I raised an eyebrow and Gray looked ready to explode. "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?" Gray said. Gajeel looked down at me and I was shaking. "That doesn't matter it was still his cat that stole Lily from me. And he deserves his eternal punishment." He said.
"Gray don't accept the offer. I would rather die than go with him." I said. Gray gasped and looked at me. I had tears running down my face and my bangs covered my eyes. "Please reject it, please Gray." I whispered. He clenched his fists until they were pure white. "THERE IS NO WAY I'M LETTING YOU DIE."He yelled. I looked up at him, "I DON'T WANT TO DIE EITHER, BUT I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN GO BACK TO HIM GRAY." I yelled. He looked down at the ground punched the wall next to him.
"Please Gajeel there has to be another way for this to work." He said. Gajeel shrugged his shoulders which brought the blade closer to my neck. "I have one more choice for you, just because I'm feeling generous today." He said. Gray looked back at him and stood up straight. "Alright how about this, you kill Happy and everyone goes home free." He said. My eyes widened and my tears fell faster. "NO, I WILL NOT KILL HAPPY HE'S LIKE A SON TO ME." I yelled. "Gajeel I cannot kill one of my own family." He said.
"Well then I guess pinky dies then." He said. I hung my head, "Gray, before I die I just want you to know that I will always love you and that I'll be waiting for you on the other side." I cried. He looked at me with tears in his eyes. "I won't let you die Natsu, I'll figure something out." He said. "ALRIGHT PINKY TIME TO-." He gasped and the knife fell to the ground. I gasped and he fell to the ground while I fell to the ground but not before Gray caught me. "What happened?" I said. I hugged Gray close and he held me close so that he could protect me.
I looked back at Gajeel to see he was stabbed in the chest. I looked up to see someone I almost hadn't expected. "Erza." We said in unison. She looked up at us and had tears running down her face. "I can't believe he would kill his own guild member, not to mention his boyfriend." She cried. I wanted to tell her we broke up but I think I'll tell her when she calms down. Gray stood up and helped me up. Gray looked at me and lifted my chin. "Natsu, he cut you, but it's not too deep. We need to get back to the house and patch you up." He said. I nodded and he grabbed my hand. "Wait you two." She said.
We stopped and turned around. "You cannot leave him here on the ground. We must take him to the hospital." She said. We nodded and Gray and Erza each grabbed an arm and we walked back to the hospital. When we got there a doctor ran up to us and quickly took Gajeel away and I hugged Gray close. I turned to Erza and wiped my tears, "I would have died if you hadn't been there Erza. Thank you so much." I cried. She smiled and hugged me tight. "It is my pleasure. I just wish our reunion would have been on better circumstances."She said.
"I agree." Gray said. A doctor walked up to us and we turned to her. "Your friend isn't looking good, but if any changes happen we'll let you know right away." She said. "Thank you." Erza said. "Personally I want him to die." I said. Gray looked back at me, "I mean yeah I did love him at one point but he went too far with trying to kill me." I said. Gray put his arm around me and sighed, "Yeah, he did go too far that time." He said.
"By the way Natsu you look nice today." She said. I blushed, "Thanks Erza" I said. She smiled and looked at us. "So, what's this?" She asked referring to Gray having his arm around me. "Yeah, I was gonna correct you earlier but I wanted to wait when you calmed down. I'll explain everything when we get back to the house." I said. She nodded and we left the hospital.
