Natsu shifted in his seat. "Do you not want to?" He asked Kai who seemed to be a statue.

"Don't just pin this on me, it's not just MY choice." He quickly replied trying to release himself of this pressure.

"You made it the way it was that night, or do you only remember when it's convenient for you..." Natsu barked but almost welled up into tears.

When Kai had kissed him over a month ago it had made him realise he was in fact attracted to Kai very much, but in the end it was Kai's choice.

Natsu would obviously be up to be with him, only if it's what the demon wanted himself.

"What night?" Happy asked turning back and forth between them.

"It doesn't matter, look... I don't know, it's late and I'm tired. I just need to think." Kai said sighing and stepping out the door.

Natsu grumbled, "I'll try and sort this out Happy." He assured his best friend.

"Well hurry up, he might find someone else and then you're stuck with your feelings with him Natsu... Even though I'm clumsy and a cat, and sometimes dumb, and a cat. I still notice things." Happy said in a some sort of apologising tone.

"It's okay! Who could say it better than a best friend." He smiled and patted the felines head. "Nakama stick together," Natsu said to Happy before walking towards the door.

Happy shouted after him happily, "Aye! Nakama!" He said bouncing off his chair.


The club hall was silent now, it was late at night and Gray and Loki had decided to battle it out, obviously without Lucy's consent. The female club member was probably asleep at home not knowing one of her spirits were gone.

"What's wrong with everyone?" Gray shouted angrily, picking up his clothes since it seemed there wasn't going to be a battle or anything. Mood kill bunch, he thought.

Juvia sank down in her chair slowly, wishing she could turn into water and slip into a drain, but it was her fault everyone had seen... seen that.

She had left a love bite on Gray's hip the other night and when he was about to take off his clothes to fight Natsu she quickly reminded him. But this time it was too late, he had stripped off all clothing in excitement and was now paying the price.

Loki shrugged. "Come on guys, what did you expect from Gray?" He said backing up his friend who was unaware.

"What?" Gray asked looking around.

Juvia sat up once more, "Gray-sama, you have a mark." She rose her voice with emphasis on the word mark.

Gray's eyes went wide. "Oh." He whispered to himself as he bent his head down, his raven hair covering his face as he viewed the mark.

He grinned.

"At least I'm showing it off, you guys are all wimps!" He declared, his adrenaline was back but Juvia thought it would be best for him to leave so he didn't spout on about whoever had done this-

"My guess is Juvia." Someone said before they could leave.

Juvia felt her palms sweat.

"J-Juvia?" Gajeel said surprised.

Juvia closed her eyes so tight she could crush her cheeks.

Gray hissed. "Even if it was, who cares? Bunch of jealous bastards, just because you all know I get some!" Gray shouted back at them and wrapped his arm around Juvia and walked through the town.

If anyone could see Juvia's face right now they would think she was born a tomato. "Gray-sama..." She whispered lightly, there were no sounds except the running water from a river, it wasn't cold but it wasn't warm.

Gray had sat down on a stone wall before he answered her. "Yeah?" He asked her in reply.

"Juvia is really sorry she caused you all that trouble." She said biting her lip, afraid she would lose her Gray-sama, she loved him so much she'd raise all oceans just to see him.

"Juvia, I'm not angry at you at all, I just wanted to get away from there, they suck." Gray said talking about the stupid people in that club building.

She nodded in reply. "Juvia has a mission tomorrow so..." She sat down next to him."Juvia will see you in a few days Gray-sama." She said kissing his cheek and walking off to reach her room in the club's dorms.

Gray smiled and watched her go. He jumped off of the wall when he saw her silhouette fade into the distance.

"Who to fight now since Loki isn't an option..." Gray mumbled as he found himself subconsciously heading into the forest. He groaned. "Do I really want to fight Natsu so bad, my own damn legs brought me here without me knowing?!" He felt frustrated, part of him had been wondering for a while what the heck is wrong with that pink haired travel sick lump!

He decided to go to Natsu's house just to check on him, that's it. No fighting, no fighting.


They were stood outside. Kai and Natsu looked at each other. They chuckled a little.

"So awkward." Kai grumbled.

Natsu nodded, "Soooo, um... Want to date?" Natsu asked the demon.

He waited a few seconds, literally three and then shook his head. "Too cheesy, and I know cheese." He mumbled.

Kai laughed, "I'll try." He said.

Natsu's face lit up and he was about to explode, Kai was literally agreeing to be with him, he was asking Natsu this time, doesn't that mean he wants to...? He grinned in complete happiness.

"Why so smiley-smiley?" Kai asked tilting his head angrily and crossing his arms.

"Sorry, carry on." Pink features said calmly.

Kai cleared his throat. "Natsu-" He began, Natsu darted his head to a tree, he could hear someone...

He could smell...

He growled.

He could smell Gray.

What was he doing here? Did he want to fight? Or was he lost...

He wanted to go over and tell him to get lost! But that would ruin what Kai was about to say. Then they may never be together, it's taken over a month for them to get to this damn stage with Happy's help!

He mentally sighed and turned his head back to Kai to make out he needed a minute before he began. "Want to be mine?" Kai whispered into his ear.

Natsu didn't even realise Kai was so close, he was too agitated about Gray's presence, but as soon as he heard Kai say something like that he glanced at the demon and smirked.

"Yours?" He chuckled.

Kai blinked slowly and nodded.

Natsu pushed him to floor forgetting about his rival's existence at the moment. "Of course! Took you a month!" Natsu said on top of Kai pushing his lips onto his.

Gray's draw dropped at what he saw, he covered his mouth with his palm and slowly retreated, not even having a small urge to fight anymore.

He just felt like a pervert seeing those two. He recognised Kai's voice in the darkness, and of course, he recognised the flame brain's, but when the moonlight shone down on them and he saw their lips connected Gray just felt like a fight wouldn't be the best idea.

He headed home.
