Chapter 12-Moment of Reveal

The next day, Gray and Juvia were walking on their way to the Fairy Tail guild hall. As they were in the middle of streets, Gray turned to his right and saw Selena and Zane walking together holding hands.

"Do you see that?" Gray asked.

Juvia also turned to head to see Selena and Zane.

"It's probably nothing." Juvia answered in denial "Come on, Gray, you and Juvia have to get to guild."

"No, I'm pretty sure I see Natsu's son over there with my daughter." Gray answered back "What are those two doing together?"

"Gray, Juvia thinks it's time to get going." Juvia replied as she pulled on Gray's arm.

However, Gray walked towards Selena and Zane who were talking to each other at the time. Selena and Zane didn't notice Gray until he appeared right in front of them.

"Hello there, Selena." Gray greeted.

"Hello, Dad." Selena greeted back awkwardly.

"What are you two doing out here?" Gray curiously asked.

"We were just…" Selena answered "…heading to the…Where are we going, Zane?"

"I told you earlier." Zane replied "We were heading to the…"

Selena and Zane both tried to make a fake answer of where they were about to go, but all they did was stammer because they couldn't figure out how to answer Gray's question.

"And why are you holding hands?" Gray asked.

The moment when Selena and Zane noticed they were holding hands, they let go and continued to stammer struggling to answer. At that moment, Natsu and Lucy were walking by and approached them.

"Zane, what are you doing with Gray's daughter?" Natsu asked.

"You see, Dad…" Zane answered awkwardly "The thing is—"

"Zane, there's obviously point in trying to hide it." Selena interrupted and answered back to Gray "I'm going on a date with Zane. He's…my new boyfriend."

"Wait a minute." Gray replied as he became intense "Selena, you mean to tell me that you're dating Zane."

Gray then turned towards Natsu and made an angry face at him. As Natsu was about to make sense of what was happening, he turned towards Gray and made an angry face at him. Suddenly, they were face to face arguing with each other.

"Why is my daughter with your son?" Gray angrily asked.

"Why is my son with your daughter?" Natsu angrily asked back.

"Are you trying to pick a fight with me?" Gray continued asking.

"What? You want to fight right now?" Natsu continued asking back.

"Bring it, fire breath!" Gray shouted.

At that moment, Natsu and Gray proceeded to battle each other while in the middle of the street. Lucy and Juvia stood by Selena and Zane as they were watching the two men battle it out.

"Are those two ever going to stop fighting each other?" Lucy asked.

"As reckless as this is, Juvia is sure being aroused by Gray right now." Juvia commented.

As the fight continued to escalate, Lucy went through her celestial keys to choose which one would stop Natsu and Gray and proceeded to choose one.

"Open the gate of the Golden Bull, Taurus!" Lucy shouted.

All of a sudden, Taurus stepped through the gate.

"What do you need, young lady?" Taurus asked.

"I need you to stop my husband from fighting." Lucy answered.

Taurus proceeded to stop Natsu from fighting by pinning him down to the ground with his foot.

"Water lock!" Juvia shouted.

Juvia then used her water lock attack to trap Gray in a ball of water to stop him from fighting and then released him. Natsu then got back up to talk to Lucy after she sent Taurus back. During that time, Gray turned around to talk to Juvia.

"What did you do that for?" Gray asked.

"Juvia's sorry that she did that, but your fight with Natsu had to stop." Juvia answered.

"What was that for, Lucy?" Natsu asked.

"This is not the right time for you to fighting Gray, Natsu." Lucy answered angrily.

"You're right." Natsu replied before turning towards Zane "Zane, can I speak with you…alone?"

Natsu and Zane then walked off to converse with each other alone.

"Selena, we need to talk...now." Gray said as he turned towards Selena.

Gray and Selena then walked to another area to converse with each other alone. As soon as they reached the corner of a nearby building, they started to talk.

"I can't believe you're dating the offspring of that…fire mongrel." Gray commented.

"Dad, where are the rest of your clothes?" Selena randomly asked.

Gray suddenly looked downward and noticed he was stripped down to his underwear. Gray then looked back at Selena.

"Don't change the subject, young lady." Gray enforced "What do you see in him?"

"You don't see Zane the way I do." Selena answered "He's actually a really sweet guy. I like his hair…and his eyes…and his newly defined muscles. Wow, those muscles of his are so amazing."

"Okay, we're not talking about that right now." Gray interrupted "I'm not letting you date Zane Dragneel."

"Dad, you're being unfair." Selena commented "I'm 16 years old. You can't keep telling me what to do. I already know you don't have a plausible reason to justify your means."

"Playing smart with me, are you?" Gray commented back.

"I don't need to listen to you about this." Selena replied "Mom is okay with me dating Zane."

"Juvia, come here!" Gray shouted.

"What is it, Gray?" Juvia asked as soon as she approached them.

"Did you know about Selena's relationship with Zane?" Gray asked.

"Yes, Juvia did." Juvia answered.

"And you didn't bother to tell me?" Gray continued asking.

"Juvia didn't think it mattered." Juvia continued answering "She knew you would freak out like this."

"Come on, Dad." Selena argued "Do you seriously not trust me?"

"I trust you, Selena." Gray answered "I just don't trust him."

"Are you referring to Natsu or Zane?" Juvia asked.

"Just listen to me." Gray said to Juvia.

"No, you listen to Juvia." Juvia enforced to Gray "Selena really likes Zane so much and you are not going to interfere with their relationship."

"How can you be okay with this?" Gray argued.

"Selena is really happy when she's with and around Zane." Juvia argued back "If you interfere, you'll only be hurting our daughter. So, will you let them be together?"

"Alright, fine!" Gray reluctantly agreed "Selena, you can date Zane."

"Thank you so much, Dad." Selena replied cheerfully as she hugged Gray and walked off to get back to Zane.

"You did well, Gray." Juvia commented as hugged Gray and kissed him on the lips "You did well."

Meanwhile, Natsu was having the same kind of conversation with his son Zane.

"I'm just going to make this simple." Natsu said "Why on earth would you even think of dating the daughter of that…ice freak?"

"I just really like her so much." Zane answered.

"Why do you like her?" Natsu asked angrily.

"I don't know." Zane answered "I mean…she's smart…and funny. Plus, Selena has lovely long black hair and plus have you seen her hourglass figure?"

"Come on, son." Natsu complained "Why would you want to date Selena Fullbuster? You're practically insane."

"I'm acting insane?" Zane argued "You're the one who's acting insane, Dad. Mom was totally okay with it."

"What?" Natsu shouted "Lucy, can you come here?"

"What is it, Natsu?" Lucy asked as soon as she arrived in front of them.

"Did you know about Zane's relationship with Selena?" Natsu asked to Lucy.

"Yes, I did." Lucy admitted.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Natsu asked angrily.

"Well, the reason why is blatantly obvious, Natsu." Lucy continued answering "I'm not letting you're idiotic dispute with Gray interfere with Zane's romance life. Zane seems to be falling for Selena, and if you're going to interfere just like that, then honestly, you're just being cruel."

"Do you really think I'm like that?" Natsu asked in a calmer voice.

"Maybe you would prove me wrong if you would let Zane date Selena." Lucy answered.

"Alright, fine!" Natsu reluctantly agreed "Zane, you can date Selena if you want to."

"Thank you so much, Dad." Zane replied as he hugged Natsu and then walked off to return to Selena.

"That was so sweet of you, Natsu." Lucy commented to Natsu as she hugged and kissed him.

Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Juvia saw Selena and Zane walking off together. Lucy and Juvia smiled as she saw those two young teenagers together, however, Natsu and Gray looked at them in an upset expression.
