"Drama in Magnolia continued today when Gray Fullbuster was spotted with his band mate Natsu Dragneel's mystery blonde. They were both outside Musician Weekly and seemed to be arguing before Gray hugged her. Sources believe that the girl is Lucy Heartfilia, the daughter of the late millionaire Jude Heartfilia. There is also speculation that she is an old friend of Fullbuster and Dragneel, but when they were asked about the matter shortly after, this is what they had to say:"
Natsu and Gray walked aside each other as they left the Musician Weekly building, smiling at the swooning fans. They noticed the camera and the reporter trying to get their attention and dawdled over for a few quick questions. "You have both been spotted with the same girl in the same weekend," the reporter stated. "Who is that girl?"
Natsu rolled his eyes and stormed from the reporter, leaving Gray alone with her. "Sorry, but I don't want to answer that."
"Is she an old friend or a lover? Is there a scandal behind the matter?"
Gray snapped and stared at the reporter with a hard glare. "Turn that *beep* camera off right *beep* now or I swear to god. . . ."
I switched off the TV and threw the TV remote aside, pulling my knees to my chest as I sat alone on the couch. I had put Layla to sleep about an hour ago and Loke was asleep, too. I looked at him, smiling at each snore. He slept on the more expensive lounge since I didn't want him to sleep in my bed.
Honestly, I don't know why he hasn't left yet. I don't know why I haven't kicked him out yet, either. But I suppose it's because I can't bring myself to kick him to the curb. If I did kick him out, he'd be a homeless bum.
He likes to tell me that he'll only be living with me until he got a job and his own place, and that he's only living with me because his parents won't let him live with them, but I know it was because of Layla. When he found out that he was a dad he refused to let me live alone with her, but now it's only been a year and he acts like a self-righteous dick.
He cares about Layla and me, I just know it.
If only he knew. . .

3rd Person POV
Natsu's face was hidden in the pillows, his mind racing with the events of these past two days.
It seemed like too much - finally seeing her again after all this time, and talking to her, and being interviewed by her. How come she had never been there to host their appearances on the news before? She obviously worked for Magician Weekly so why was this her first time? Had she been avoiding them whenever they'd visit? If so, why was this time any different?
Questions pricked at his mind and his conscience, slowly driving him mad. He wanted answers, dammit. He wanted to know. . . . And if he couldn't ask her, he could do the next best thing.
He shot up from his hotel bed and threw on some pants, not bothering to put a shirt on as he stormed from his room to his black haired best friend.
"Gray!?" He searched the hotel floor that had been reserved for the band members frantically. His eyes were drooping and on the brink of shutting completely but he refused to give it up. He was sick of being left in the dark.
"Natsu?" The familiar voice came from behind his bare back and he turned on his heel, catching sight of Gray. "What are you doing running around shirtless? God man, that's creepy."
Coming from the dude who plays all of our shows shirtless? "Shut up, man." Natsu scowled. "I want answers - what did you and Lucy talk about?"
Gray's eyes widened and he quickly focused his cold stare on Natsu and crossed his arms. "I don't know what you're talking about, dude." He snapped. "You're off your head-"
"Don't lie to me!" Natsu yelled, quickly regretting it. If he woke Erza she'd fucking kill him. He lowered his voice to a whisper. "I saw the news this afternoon. You and Lucy were talking and you hugged her. Tell me what you were talking about."
Gray's stare didn't stray from Natsu's angry eyes. The pair were silent for what seemed like an eternity, the wind and rain outside the hotel thrashing against the windows. "We were talking about the song. She asked me who you wrote it about.
Natsu's glare softened visibly and Gray rolled his eyes. "Don't look at me like that, Natsu." he snapped. "You wrote it about her, it was obvious. As soon as I figured it out I wondered why I didn't already know."
"It was about Gajeel," Natsu retorted. Gray's eyes widened and he seemed to be on the verge of laughing hysterically. "No! I mean Levy was writing it about him and needed help. She knew I had to leave someone important to me too."
"So what you wrote was about Lucy." Gray crossed his arms, becoming more and more frustrated. "Don't avoid it. I know you wrote it about Lucy. And now Lucy knows it too." Natsu stayed silent. "I don't get it. Why'd you write it about her when you didn't even care that you were leaving?"
In a split second, Natsu's fist came in contact with Gray's cheek, knocking the raven haired boy back. "Don't you dare." Natsu ran a hand through his hair and pointed an accusing finger to Gray. "How the hell could you say that to me? Do you know how long it took for me to get over leaving? How long it took for me to stop thinking about Lucy every fucking night?"
Gray glared at the pink haired boy. "So why didn't you tell her?!" he exclaimed, not caring about Levy or Erza. "Why did you leave Lucy behind for five years without telling her or even trying to talk to her? Why?!"
"Because I couldn't!" Natsu snapped back, throwing his arms up in the air. He lowered his voice to an almost whisper. "I couldn't let myself hurt her like that."
Gray wasn't phased by his sudden attitude. "So what?" He pushed Natsu by the shoulders, face to face with his piercing eyes. "You think leaving her without explanation wouldn't hurt her? Not bothering to call her for five years? You think that was the better option? You could have told her! You could have let her down easy! You could have brought her with you!"
Natsu let out a frustrated groan and punched the wall, deciding that a couple of hundred dollars would be better than a beaten and bruised best friend. "Fucking hell, Gray, don't you think I thought of that?" He asked, his voice rising to what is was before. "It killed me to leave her without saying anything. It fucking killed me."
They were silent, exchanging brutal stares with each other. Gray's dark eyes pierced Natsu's with a fiery passion that screamed violence. Their hands were at their sides, clenched and turning red. They began to realise that this was pointless - they had a show tomorrow and if they fucked that up, they'd be screwed. It was their first show in their hometown in at least a year.
Natsu sighed, letting out some anger in a few deep breaths. "Why do you care, anyway?" He asked quietly, trying to avoid eye contact with Gray. "You never had anything with Lucy, so why do you care?"
Gray was silent.
With a scoff, Natsu gave him the cold shoulder and turned away, starting to go back to his room, before Gray spoke up. "It shouldn't matter to you, either." he retorted. "You have a girlfriend, remember?"
