(A.N I'm barely on Season 6, so no spoilers! 👍😁😄)

Natsu fell to his knees as he watched his 'father' fall to the ground.

"I-Igneel?"

The giant dragon looked up to his 'son' with a sad smile. Acnologia(?) laid a few yards away from the dragon king himself. Both battered and bruised; ready to head to the afterlife. Natsu didn't try to hide the tears that fell down his face. The other Fairy Tail members had finally caught up to him, but stopped when they'd seen what was happening.

"Igneel... YOU CAN'T DIE! NOT LIKE THIS PLEASE!"

Natsu fell to his knees as he cried and the dragon laughed softly.

"There, there, boy. I don't believe I've said this before, but I love you, kiddo."
Natsu let out a slight giggle and sadly smiled back.

"Love you, too. I'll miss you." He said; more tears spilling from his eyes.

"Don't worry about me-"

"How could I not?!" Natsu cut him off.

"You have friends that need you. So be happy for them. For me. Okay?"

Natsu just nodded. Then, Igneel started to fade. His sobs got louder as he called for him. Finally, after there was nothing left of him, Natsu finally let out a heart-wrenching scream filled to the brim with sadness.

"IGNEEL!"

Everyone flinched at the sound. Gray, being the only one not frozen, walked over and sat down with the boy. He rocked him while he cried, sobbed, and screamed his poor heart out. Gray stayed right where he was and supported him. After a while of that, he finally calmed down to sniffles and whimpers.

"I don't want him to go, Gray."

"I know, Natsu, but it was his time. I know it's gonna be really hard, but we'll figure it out together, okay?"

He let out a sob. Though it was quieter, it was still heard.

"Yeah."

He sounded so small, it hurt. Once Gray got him to finally stand up, they all walked back to Fairy Tail. They decided train probably wouldn't help him at all.

Every night that they stopped, Natsu shared a tent with Gray.

Every night, Natsu would quietly sob.

Every night, Gray would calm him down.

But, one night, Natsu pulled out a big one. And that happened to be tonight. Once again, Natsu cried and Gray supported him.

Normal right?

During their conversation, Natsu leaned against Gray's chest and whispered so low that almost nothing would hear him...

But Gray did.

"I love you."

He had heard it every night, and this time, he responded back.

"I love you, too"

Natsu gave a small smile as he rubbed his eyes and yawned.

"Better?

"Mhm."

"Remember, if you need anything, just tell me, okay?"

He yawned again and nodded as he pressed himself to Gray. Soon enough, he was asleep. Gray smiled and laid back; consciousness gradually fading.

Erza and Lucy smiled after hearing what had happened, since their tent was right next to Natsu and Gray's.

"Maybe he could fix his poor little heart now." Lucy said. Erza chuckled slightly, but agreed nonetheless.

"Hopefully."

Okay, you guys are lucky I even got this chapter out! I seriously need requests, I'm literally confused on what to do!

Halp me plz!
