Chapter 2: Confessions
Gajeel's Pov
As we were walking back to the guild right behind Natsu who was carrying happy in his hands. The sky turned dark like something some where bad was happening. Soon after we got haft way to the guild it started to rain. Now this was the time I need to get some answers from Gray.
"Gray, can I talk with you for a little while?" He turned to me with a puzzled look and Erza and Natsu did to. But soon after Natsu expression changed from shocked to a worried look that said 'please be careful'. I gave a little nod and him and Erza continued to walk back. But Gray turn to me and his expression changed. It when to puzzled to a smirk. He knew where this was leading to... And it didn't look good...
"Gray, I think you know what I wanted to talk about."
"So what if I do it's none of your concern."
"Gray it is! You hurt him deep! If you love him you wouldn't put this pain on him! So tell me why you did!"
"If I love him or not that is my business not your so but out!" He then turned to walk away with his smirk slowly fading while tears slowly formed in his eyes but he quickly wipe them away like they meant nothing. I can't help but thing that he isn't doing this because he wants to.
"Gray, tell me I can see that you don't want to do this because that smirk is wiped off your face right when you thought that I wasn't looking."
"I... I'll tell you..." His face saddened like he will never see another happy day again.
"I have to do this because... Because the guild will be shut down a-and... Natsu... Won't be able to..."
"Gray what won't he be able to do?" He shock his head in discussed.
"I've said to much... Just please don't tell Natsu... Just leave it between us okay..." He opened his eyes and looked at me with those sad eyes of his.
"I'm still telling him. You have hurt him so much that he walked into the forest behind the guild and sat there for a whole day crying because of you. He dissevers to know." His sad smile soon turn into a twisted smirk but his pain filled eyes never changed. Once he closed his eyes and the tears started to fall he acted emotionless.
"I can't let you tell him... Because if Lucy hears he is-... I will be in trouble now... You see I wasn't supposed to tell you that..."
"Gray what has happened to you?! First you hurt Natsu, now you are saying like your in trouble. Your in trouble from who Lucy? She is as weak as they come Gray don't tell me you have gotten soft! Now if you don't mind I have had my fun with this conversion but I have some one I need to help patch up their heart that is now full of holes because of your doing." I started to walk to the guild once again but I felt a foot go in to the back of my leg and I fell to the ground. When I looked behind me I saw Gray standing there with tears steaming down his face.
"You see I can't let you tell him." He then throw a punch at my face but I moved out of the way and they stood up once again.
"Gray if your going to start this fight over if I tell him or not, I will tell him no matter what, because he is hurting inside and some good news like this could help him out of his dispersion even just a little. I will tell him!"
"Well I tried to tell you using words now I guess I have to my fist..." He came at me once again. And just missed me again. He continued this for a couple of seconds before he hit me to the ground. I kicked at one of his legs and knocked him down on his back. When I stood up he tried to kick out my legs but I dodged his attacks. He then used his ice-make magic and froze my feet to the ground and stood up.
"I will stop at nothing, to make sure you don't tell him..." By him saying this I knew this was getting real not just a play fight but a fight for the death and I knew from right there and on, I had to chose. Between telling Natsu or not hurting Gray. Man this is to much drama for me..
Natsu pov
"Natsu~ come out you have been in your room for hours are you okay? Natsu~?"
"..."
Happy I would talk to you but I just can't... If I put my worries on you I would feel guilty. The same guilt I feel now for putting my burden on Gajeel. I wonder where he is... I wonder where Gray is... I still remember when me and Gray confessed to each other... I remember how sunny it was out side. Like it seemed that all the clouds had vanished from sight...
~Flash back~
It seemed like the most prefect day I would ever have. As Happy and I made our way to the guild. At the time I was still called a new member of fairy tail. I had been there for about one year and after I found Happy's egg.
When I got there everybody was fighting but most of them were getting drunk. Erza was talking to master while Mira was starting to clean cups. Cana was staring at guildarts for some strange reason. And Gray... He was sitting by him self in his boxers.
"Pervert! Your in your boxers again!"
"Shut up! Flames for brains! I don't need you to tell me!"
"You wanna go droopy eyes!"
"Bring it squinty eyes!"
We were about to run at each other and start another fight but Erza turned around with those demon eyes of hers and we froze in our spots.
"We're you boys going to start a fight?!"
She started to walk closer with us with her armer clicking and her boots sound like cracks of thunder. We then ran at each other a hugged each other like as if we were going to vanish.
"N-no E-Erza y-you s-see m-me and N-Natsu o-over h-here w-were j-just p-play f-fighting. W-we w-weren't g-going t-to h-hurt e-each o-other o-or a-any t-thing... Right Natsu?"
"A-aye!"
"Good. It's not family like if we fight. So don't do it you got that!"
Her dark oura went even darker than before. Gray and I hugged each other tighter.. I really didn't mind it when Erza got mad at me and Gray for fighting. Because that was the only way I got to get close to him with out any complaints. My face grew red every time I was near him and my body would heat up even more.
"Y-yes!"
"And Natsu do you understand?!"
"Yes Erza..."
Her face went soft when she heard me talk with out sounding afraid of her. She smiled at me and walk away. Gray then let go but I was still holding on to him. I wasn't really paying attention to him calling my name so when I heard him, I jumped back and stood up and my whole body went hot.
"Natsu what's wrong with you man? Are you sick your all red?"
I felt all the eyes of my guild mates stair at me. It felt like I was getting holes every where in my body. My body heat sky rocketed. My body couldn't go any more red.
"Hello? Earth to Natsu? Do you copy?" Gray was right in my face waving his hand and my body went even hotter because of how close he was.
"Y-yeah... I-I got to g-go.."
"He likeees~ him!" When I turned to happy he had his hands on his cheeks and was flying. I got even more embarrassed when the whole guild started laughing.
"Jezz Natsu, what are you teaching him?!" Cana made everyone laugh even more in the guild. Which dug deep in my heart. I felt like I was going to cry. So I ran out of the guild with tears in my eyes. When I stopped running I was in the forest behind the guild. I sat in front of a tree and put my knees to my chest and put my face on my knees and started to cry. It felt like hours before I heard nose in a bush.
"W-who's t-there?" I quickly wiped away my tears to look like I wasn't crying. But my eyes were a puffy red.
"Natsu, why are you out here crying?" I knew this voice it was Gray. My face had a blush on it once again.
"Natsu please answer me." I still never said any thing to him even tho that was the first time I heard him say please to me.
"Please... Fine don't say anything... Great, now I feel like an idiot that you don't want to talk to..."
I started to laugh because he gave me the most stupidest look that I had ever seen the mixed look between a frown and a smile and he was starring no where it was just so cute and funny.
"There you go, I got you to laugh. So can you tell me why your crying?"
My laughter soon left and my smile turn to a emotionless face. And my blush deepened. This is it. I'm going to tell him how I feel.
"Gray, I reason why is... I got embarrassed by everyone in the guild laughing and the thought of you rejecting me when happy said 'he likeees him~'."
"Natsu what do you mean by I would reject you?"
I took a deep breath and my face turn red. When I looked up into his eyes I melted. My legs turn to jelly and my heart turn into a race horse.
"Gray, I have to tell you something... I know we have only known each other for a year now and we haven't been the best of friends but Gray... I think I love you..."
"..."
"I understand, that you don't feel the same way... I'll just leave you be..." When I turned and started to walk away I remember my eyes start to tear up once again. But something grabbed my hand. When I turned my head lips came crashing down on mine. I was shocked at first but I soon kissed back. But after he pulled away.
"Natsu, I do feel the same way just I was shocked at first when I heard you say that." He then pulled me into a hug and my head was resting on his chest, but soon after I hugged back.
"Natsu I love you too, so please don't leave... Everyone I have ever loved has left me so please don't go..."
" I won't. I promise. And I never break my promises..."
When then sat down and watch the sun set together. And once the sun was about to go down he kissed me once again.
"Natsu I love you."
"I love you to Gray."
And we both sat there smiling at each other as the sky turned dark.
~End of Flashback~
I started to cry once again. I put my knees to my chest and cried. Why don't you remember our benign Gray. You and me both said we love each other, so why would you forget and go with Lucy. Gray please come back to me...
Gajeel's Pov
We fought for hours, till we both fell to the ground from using up most of our magic energy. The sky was dark only the only light there was, was from the stars. It was cold but a warm wind made me a little warmer.
"Just please Gajeel I will tell him when the time comes so please don't tell him..."
Why does he continue to stop me from telling Natsu... I sigh in defeat.
"Gray, I won't tell him... But if you make him hurt more than he is hurting now I will beat the hell out of you and tell him my self. Do I make my self clear?"
I heard him sigh but in the end he gave in.
"Yes."
"Good, well lets go we have a very sad dragon to make happy."
I stood up and so did Gray. We gave each other a nod and walk away to the little fire ball that lights up the both of our lives.
~ End of chapter 2~
