I want to thank you all for your support in this story. For that person that asked about Sting, yes, he did get the money. He followed them, didn't he? Alright, so I'm sorry to say that this is the last chapter. This story was never meant to be super long. Look forward to more stories from me!
"He's in room 168," a nurse said. Lucy thanked her and drug Gray to the elevator.
"What if he doesn't like me?" Gray asked, scratching his arm. Lucy rolled her eyes as clicked the floor level.
"You sound like a little girl," she said. "He's your brother. You don't gve to be so nervous."
"But-" Lucy silenced him with a kiss. They had been dating for two weeks. Her family wasn't too happy about it, but she didnt care. When Jason was moved to a room that allowed visitors, she made him go to the hospital.
Jason was Gray's brother. About a week before, he came back to town. He was a soldier fighting in a war overseas. He jumped on a bomb to save his comrades, so he was transported to the hospital in Magnolia. He only suffered minor injures, surprisingly. Gray hadn't seen him since he was a little boy, so he wasn't sure if he would still like him.
Lucy knocked on the door to room 168. When she heard a faint 'come in,' she had to grab Gray. He tried to run away, but she wouldn't let him. She opened the door and pulled him inside.
Jason was sitting on his bed, reading a book. He had short black hair and the same navy blue eyes as Gray. He had a bandage over his cheek. His one arm was robotic.
"Hello," Lucy said as bubbly as ever. Jason raised a brow at her, wondering who she was. He noticed the boy beside her. He looked very uncomfortable. When he tried to leave the room, she grabbed his hand. "Come on, Gray."
"Gray?" Jason asked. His eyes were the size of saucers. He did not see that coming. This boy screamed like trouble. He couldn't be his brother.
"Uh, hey Jase," Gray said. He scratched the back of his head and looked away. Lucy pushed him into the room and closed the door.
"You're so pathetic," she scowled at Gray. "Where's the warm welcome? The tears? The touching hug of two reuniting brothers?"
"Come here, Gray," Jason said. He pulled Gray down to hug him. "You're so much bigger than last time I saw you."
"I can't stay nine forever," Gray said, awkwardly laughing. He removed himself and sat down in one of the extra chairs. Lucy smiled and sat beside him.
"So who's your friend?" Jason asked in a teasing voice. Whoever she was, she was quite the looker.
"Lucy Heartfilia, Natsu's cousin," Lucy introduced herself. She wasn't sure if she should say she was Gray's girlfriend. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Jason couldn't help but smile. Lucy seemed like the girl he imagined Gray being with. "So is she your girfriend?" Lucy nodded and smiled. He smiled, too. "So how is everyone doing? I'm surprised more of your friends didnt come with you."
"We aren't on very good terms anymore," Gray said. He was about to say more, but the door opened. Ur, Ultear, and Lyon walked in.
"Oh, Jason," Ur cried. She ran over and hugged him. "I was so worried. I am glad that you are okay."
"Hey, Aunt Ur," Jason said. "I'm okay. Nothing to worry about."
"We have so much to tell you," Ur said.
"I'm getting released tonight, so well have plenty of time to talk."

"Why did you all have to come over?" Gray sighed.
"We didn't even know you had a brother! You have no right to complain!" Loke exclaimed. All of Gray's friends came over to welcome Jason home. In addition to them, Natsu and his gang came over. Ur's living room was very crowed, to say the least.
They all heard a car door. Seconds later, Ur and Jason entered the room.
Mira, Lisanna, Erza, Cana and Levy jumped on him the second he entered the room. He smiled and hugged the five girls back the best he could.
"You guys grew up too," he said. He could remember having tea parties with them. He usually babysat them all. It was more like getting payed to hang out with them, though. Even though they were nine users apart, he enjoyed their company.
"You may be big and tough, but I can still take you!" Natsu exclaimed. Jason rolled his eyes and pushed his head away.
"You haven't changed at all," he said. He couldn't believe how beautiful the girls got and how strong and handsome the guys got.
"He looks just like Gray," Aries said. Jason turned around and saw Gray and a group of people he hasn't seen. They all looked like trouble, minus the shy girl that spoke. He smiled at Lucy, who was sitting beside Gray, her legs over his lap.
"So," Jason said, sitting down on the floor beside Lisanna. "Why aren't you guys friends anymore?" Everyone already knew who he meant.
Seeing the look Lucy was giving him, Natsu decided to answer. "Gray punched Lisanna when we were younger."
"After you left," Lucy added, trying to help.
"So?" Jason asked. "Kids punch each other. That's no reason to defriend him."
"But-"
"Just be friends again!" Lucy yelled, interrupting Natsu.
"I dont-"
"Yeah, let's all be friends," Erza said, stopping Gray from speaking. She looked up to Jellal, who smiled back. They have both been secretly hoping for the day they could officially be friends.
"Fine," Natsu mumbled, crossing his arms. "But I'm still not okay with you two dating!" he yelled to Gray and Lucy, causing everyone in the room to laugh.
Lucy couldn't help but smile. With just one friend, she was able to bring a whole group of people together. And she couldn't be more happy that she met him.
One friend really does make difference.
Sappy ending. Oh well.
