*Play: 'Waiting for Superman' by Daughtry!*

After the static had cleared, they heard the music play. Their jaws dropped as they heard the song start.

"How, does he do this?!" Gajeel yelled while Laxus laughed at him.

"Yeah, he changes his voice and it doesn't sound bad, either." Levy commented.

"Do you guys think Natsu-nii will get mad that we went through his stuff?" Wendy asked in fear. Romeo walked up and laid a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, he won't be mad, most likely. He knows we had no clue. Oh, Happy, does Natsu-nii have any instruments around the house or anything?"

"Only the violin, piano... Oops, I've said too much!"

"So, he plays multiple instruments. Go ahead, Happy, we won't tell." Erza urged.

"Well, he has a violin, a piano in our room, an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, and a drumset."

"Really? That's cool that he can actually play all of those." Gray commented.

"I know!" Happy said out loud.

"You think he could give Gajeel lessons?"

A few people laughed and Gajeel's face went red.

"Shut it, icicle!"

"Hey, Erza, does this one have a note, too" Levy asked.

"Let's see..." She said as she looked at the disk.

"It says 'For my Superman'. Wait, Natsu's gay?"

"That's honestly something I didn't expect from him. But, if you think about it, he can get kinda flirty around certain guys, but is completely oblivious to the girls when they flirt with him." Max stated, followed by a few nods from others.

"That so?" Laxus asked. "Maybe I should go on a job with him one of these times. I kinda want to see how flame-y does it." He laughed.

Asuka was bored so she got up and stood by Laxus. Whispering something to him that he nodded to.

"Yay!" She shouted.

"What just happened?" Gajeel asked.

"Nothing, don't worry about it."

"Who do you think his 'Superman' is?" Lucy asked

They all looked at each other and some smirked while others shrugged.

"Let's see, who thinks it's Freed?" Mira asked.

No one.

"Gajeel?"

1 hand.

"Yeah, right," Gajeel yelled. "he's like my little brother, us dragon slayers are family."

"Gray?" Erza guessed.

"Pfft." Gray rolled his eyes. Yet, almost every hand was raised. His eyebrows raised, but his mouth remained shut.

"Do you guys really think that?"

"Yes!" They shouted in unison.

"But, we're rivals! We fight all the time! At the most, we're friends!

"Then why's your face red?" Lucy asked slyly.

He felt his face get even hotter and turned away.

"Shut up..." He mumbled, making her giggle.

The song ended, and no one noticed Asuka go up and look through the bag next, except Laxus. He didn't help her, but made sure she was careful. He only helped her when she couldn't reach to put it in the music player.

"Let's see which one you chose, Asuka."

Guildarts walked in before he could push the button.

"Hey, whatcha guys doin'?"

"Woah! You walked in like normal! No destruction!" Happy yelled.

"I figured I should, since I am the 5th master of Fairy Tail, after all Wanna set a good example or whatever. Anyways, what's that?"

"Just listen and see if you can tell." Laxus said as he pushed the play button.

*Play 'Somewhere over the Rainbow on guitar by Trey Merrill'*

"Oh COME ON!" Gajeel yelled.

Some people laughed as they realized Gajeel was getting real jealous. Asuka smiled widely as she listened.

"I've heard this song before!"

"Have you, now? Where from?" Bisca asked.

"Uncle Natsu played it for me when you and Daddy went on a mission! When I stayed the night with him!"

"He... He played this for you?"

"Yeah, when I was going to bed, I heard the sounds of Uncle Natsu's 'kitar' and he said he was 'tuna-ing' it. He said he would play it for me, and I fell asleep to this song!"

"Why didn't you tell us Uncle Natsu could play the guitar?"

"He said not to tell anyone! But, he said that it was a hard song to make because it was someone else's song, but that person played it on ukelele!"

Levy gasped.

"I knew that song was familiar!"

"What do you mean? Who's it originally by?" Lucy asked.

"It's a song by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole! It's about all the good in the world, and the 'somewhere over the rainbow' part is about a good place he'd be going when he'd die. He was 38, and died because of respiratory failure. Everyone loved him, at his little home of Hawaii, in America, and they dumped his ashes in the ocean while on a boat with a flag that said 'IZ LIVES'. Guess it was something to support him, but it was sad and cool at the same time."

They opened their mouths, but closed them, realizing they didn't know exactly what to say.

"Ooh, this is my favorite part!" Asuka shouted out. (A.N. Skip to 3:30, if not already there)

Gajeel slammed his head onto the table, hearing the guitar solo.

"WHY!" He said as his scream was muffled into the table.

"So, this is what Natsu does in his spare time?" An oddly proud Gildarts asked.

"Apparently, but I never hear him play." Happy said. All of a sudden...

"I'm back! The dude cancelled the job- why is that here?" He said as he paled.

"Why didn't you tell us you could play instruments?" Mira asked.

"Or sing!" Lucy said.

"Uh, um, I-I don't, I mean-"

"Oh geez, Natsu, just spit it out." Gray said. Natsu gulped and sighed.

"Well, it helps with the overwhelming anxiety I keep to myself, when I release that into a guitar, I feel happier. Wait, did that makes sense?"

Erza laughed and stroked his hair out of his face.

"Yes, it does, but why didn't you tell us? Don't you dare say it wasn't important, or I will knock your teeth down your throat."

He gulped again and shrugged.

"I don't know, I was doing just fine, dealing with it on my own, so I thought I'd be fine."

"Are you?" Gray asked as he walked up and stood next to Natsu.

"Eh, more or less. Now it's just trains, lots of questions, and enormous crowds that make me anxious. Hey, wanna spar?"

Gray chuckled and wrapped an arm around his shoulders.

"Maybe not here, so Erza doesn't have a reason to get mad at us."

"Okay!"

He walked up and put all but one disk in the duffel bag. Putting the cd from the music player into the disk and handed it to Asuka.

"You can keep that one." He whispered to her. She smiled and kissed his cheek, and he to her as well.

"Thank you!"

"Shh." He said, putting a finger up to his lips and winking.

"Hey, Happy, would you mind taking this home for me?"

"Aye sir." Happy grabbed the bag and hauled it back to their little home. Before anyone could talk to Natsu about anything else, he grabbed Gray's wrist and ran out of the guild.

Gray stumbled at first, but he soon got used to it and ran along side him; both subconsciously grabbing ahold of each other's hands. Getting to the lake, They stopped and looked at the orange sun setting and shimmering onto the lake. Natsu smiled and slightly leaned onto Gray's shoulder and Gray tilted his head onto Natsu's as they faced the scene head-on.

"How about we reschedule that spar?" Gray asked. Natsu sighed exaggeratingly (is that a word?) and looked up to him big eyes and a small smile.

"I have something to tell you, and based on those last two actions, hopefully, you think the same thing."

"What's that?" Gray smirked.

"Well, I... I like you." Natsu said as a blush smothered him.

"I like you too." Gray laughed as he pecked Natsu's cheek. Natsu giggled and leaned into him.

"Does this mean you're my boyfriend?" Natsu asked childishly.

"If that's what you want, then yeah, sure."

"Yay!" He quietly cheered.
