Chapter 2:

It hurts the most.


"Mama, what are those people doing over there?"

"Ah…. Honey, that's a flower festival."

"Looks like fun! I want a flower too! A red one."

"Really? Then Mama will buy you a big red one, how does that sound?"

"Thanks Mama!"

The flower festival held in Fiore became very popular given the fact that it only started two hours ago. The outdoor stand dedicated to the festival became very crowded with couples, single girls and guys, and old people who loved the way they were treated by the group of young staff.

The Weekly Sorcerer Magazine was also a part of the event. The famous one and only reporter, Jason, was here and there taking different shots of the event while being extra hyper. Fairy Tail always does that to him in addition to the big scoop he was having. Blue Pegasus and Fairy Tail; A combination that remained mysterious and powerful across the years.

The so called 'Staff' wasn't paying attention to anything except for completing the requests which were piling up. At least the responsible ones. Anyone could count out Gildarts and Loke from the responsible ones. Actually they were acting as the advertisement factor more than being the staff in action. Even Hibiki was working. Damn those people.

"Elfman! You are so late!" Mirajane said in a scolding tone.

"Nee-San, sorry. The shipment was delayed."

"Hurry up! The others are in a pinch right now, they could use your help!"

Elfman was sent earlier that day to get the special shipment of moon flowers which were the main theme of the event. Fairy Tail had this idea of getting those light blue magical glowing flowers and decorating the stand with it. Elfman was too late for that, so Mirajane was thinking now how can they use them.

Natsu tried to flee and stand somewhere else other than standing next to Gray, but failed miserably because all places were taken. He sighed and at least he was standing next to Gildarts. It managed somehow to calm him down, but not entirely.

Jellal was attacked by a very large number of customers. The people couldn't help but to like the way he chatted with them and completed their requests. Some girls asked for an autograph signature just for the heck of it. The boy sighed and was putting his signature for them on the gift card when his eyes suddenly met Hibiki's black ones across the stand. Jellal blinked and was surprised as to why the dark blonde haired guy was staring at him. He mouthed 'What?', but Hibiki ignored him and smiled brightly to one of his customers. Jellal shrugged and returned to what he was doing.

Mirajane entered the stand again after finishing with Elfman and found something wrong.

"Guys! Why did you change your positions after I did my best in organizing everything?!"

Gray, Laxus, Hibiki and Jellal sweat dropped, then Gray decided to speak with Mirajane on their behalf.

"Because we are being the victims of false imaginations."

Mirajane sighed heavily, "First, the delivery was late and now what? 'Give them what they want' that is our goal. Since when do you care how people think about all of you?"

"Since I became fantasized about with the half-assed dragon slayer." Gray retorted.

"Gray, I don't care. Return to your positions now! ALL OF YOU!"

Natsu sighed inwardly in relief. "You heard the lady. Move your annoying ass over there!"

"You like that, huh?" Gray asked trying his best not to punch Natsu in the face.

"Of course. You did nothing since you stood here but scaring away every customer that came to me!"

"That's because I can't stand the idea that they are admiring your foolishness."

"Why you-!" Gray dodged the heavy vase that almost collided with his waist. "ASSHOLE!"

"Dumbass." Gray replied provoking Natsu who glared for a while then dropped the vase not so gently on the counter and returned to work, ignoring Gray's open invitation for a fight.

Gray blinked several times, not believing what just happened. Natsu isn't fighting back? That was a shocker. Unlike Natsu Dragneel, the biggest idiot in Magnolia, Gray wasn't a fool. He could see the way Natsu was avoiding him for about two weeks and he somehow… Didn't like it.

Yes, Natsu was a big pain in the ass, but he was his friend. Gray tried to remember if he did anything wrong, other than setting up Natsu on a train for an 'imaginary' mission which was actually heading for the ice mountains (that was fun), other than cheating Natsu when they were having a food contest, other than nailing Natsu's closet doors so that they won't open, and other than putting dog shit instead of Natsu's favorite chocolate syrup on his breakfast pancakes? (In cooperation with Mirajane…)

No, not something that he knows of. Okay… maybe the last one wasn't so funny but still it wasn't that big of a deal. In fact, he was pretty clean with Natsu this month, not having the energy to prepare grand big schematic pranks that leaves a great impact on Natsu because of Juvia's increased stalking skills. So why on earth was he getting this treatment?! It made his brain feel like it was tied up in knots because of the frustration. Too bad they were working now, or he would've asked Natsu to talk to him like a man and explain himself, which is what he promised himself to do after they are finished with this annoying day.

"Actually, I have a job for you, Natsu and Gray. We're out of gift cards and cactus. Go in the back of the store and you'll find their boxes." Mirajane said checking the things off her clipboard.

Or better yet. He could ask Natsu now.


"Ok….. Cactus…. AH! THERE YOU ARE!" Natsu grinned as if he found the treasure while running to organize the boxes and pots of the ugly plant to bring them to the stand.

"Get up." Gray roughly jerked Natsu away from the boxes making the boy gasp from the surprise; it felt like being attacked from behind.

"What the….. What's wrong with you today BASTARD?!" Natsu strongly pounded Gray's chest with both of his hands defending his personal bubble in the process because Gray was invading it.

Gray cursed feeling like an elephant had stepped onto his chest, then tried to calm himself down. Natsu was ignoring him because of something he did. So he has to be the reasonable and patient one.

"Listen dumbass. I'm not the one who has been playing the mouse role running away from a wild cat! It's you. And I want to know why."

"What?!"

Yes. Natsu didn't understand metaphors. "What I mean to say is… Why are you avoiding me? Did I do something wrong?"

Natsu tried to busy himself with looking at anything and everything else other than Gray's eyes because something was just wrong. The way he found Gray concerned, and the way his eyes expressed genuine dislike for the fact that Natsu was avoiding him, suddenly made Natsu's heart go crazy. It was then that he realized that he really, really wanted to hug Gray and never let go. He shook his head and went for the boxes again.

"You're imagining things. I'm not-"

"-No I'm not imagining it. You're fucking doing that right now! Get up and tell me what's wrong!"

"Give it a break, will you? Why do you even care?"

"I don't care. It just bugs the shit out of me."

"I have nothing to say." Natsu's tone suggested 'Drop it, or drop dead.' And it irritated Gray more and more that Natsu ignored him while organizing the boxes on top of each other to get them inside.

Natsu wasn't comfortable with Gray's line of questioning and when he held the two boxes to transfer them inside, Gray slammed his hand at the wall between the pink-haired boy and the exit forbidding Natsu from going anywhere and Natsu thanked God that his back was facing Gray or else he'd kick the bastard where it hurts the most.

"What… Is the meaning of this?" Natsu hissed.

"You're not going anywhere until you tell me why you are avoiding me."

"You realize that I can kick your shitty ass all the way to Magnolia's borders, right? Because I WILL if you DON'T back off."

"Or you can just tell me what's annoying you, and we can get this shit over with."

Natsu grunted and dropped the boxes. He turned back and tried to kick Gray, but the boy stepped back avoiding the blow in the stomach.

"That's your answer?" Gray angrily asked.

"No shit. You think the dog crap prank was funny?"

"We both know that's not the point here." Gray crossed his arms in irritation.

"Ok, you know what? You got me. I'm hiding something from you."

"...Duh. I'm waiting for you to tell-"

"-Igneel used to wear pink panties when he sleeps, now beat it!"

Gray's jaw dropped on the floor, not even wanting to imagine Natsu's little joke. "Natsu. Not funny."

Natsu sighed. "Then stop being so stubborn and leave me alone."

"I can't. If you've got something against me you should warn me, hit me, shout at me, but not pull away your whole relationship and trust from me. I know this will sound odd, but it hurts." Gray then went to take the boxes from Natsu slowly and went to the exit, but before he disappeared completely, he stood for a while, his back facing Natsu.

"It hurts the most."


Natsu sighed while standing next to Gildarts and Elfman. One moron was repeating the words 'Man, Man' and the other was a pervert who kept flirting and both didn't help one bit.

"It hurts the most."

Damn it. What was he supposed to tell the asshole? From his strange feelings towards his best friend, Natsu can only deduct the fact that he L-L… Li-Liiiiik…

Shit. He couldn't even admit it to himself, how did Gray expect Natsu to tell him that to his face?! Moreover, Gray would never think that this joke is actually funny. It's NOT funny.

"Oi Momo-Chan, I'd like to have two roses from those~" A girl requested from Natsu who was inattentive. The boy snapped out of it, and nodded sweat dropping at the nickname. Just because his hair was pink, doesn't mean people must call him 'Pink'. He sighed and went to to get the flowers that the girl ordered.

"AH SHIT! Natsu get away from that!" Gildarts almost yelled at Natsu who suddenly found some spots of orange liquid on his face.

Shit.

"AH HELL!" Natsu panicked.

The Wild orange Oxalis. Natsu wasn't going to forget that name. Gildarts once took Natsu with him to complete a mission, and there was this huge field of flowers which Natsu liked (He was a fool eight years old brat) and then it happened. There was this beautiful Oxalis that had a very nice orange color and Natsu held it, sniffing from it the sweet scent only to be surprised from the liquid that came flying from the flower onto his cheeks.

And that was it. Gildarts Clive's worst nightmare. The stupid brat just had to sniff the most dangerous flower on the planet to 'Natsu Dragneel'. Normal humans should be not affected by this flower normally in Magnolia, but Natsu was a different story. He made Gildarts Clive's life a living hell. The brat kept sneezing while having a very high fever and terrible rashes that covered all of Natsu's body. Not only that, the brat couldn't breathe properly and had problems with speaking, and Gildarts had to run like a mad man in the middle of nowhere holding a lifeless child to find a freakin' doctor and ended up handing Natsu to Porlyusica who called him the most 'irresponsible' man on earth.

Natsu was a mutant that's for sure. How was he supposed to know that the brat has this kind of allergy towards this exact kind of flower?! It wasn't his fault, or anyone's for that matter. Even Natsu himself didn't know that he was allergic to that Oxalis until that unfortunate day came. He was tearing up at the mere memory of it.

"Oi! Listen! Don't you dare sniff anymore, you got me?! HEY! I said no sniffing!" Gildarts threatened while searching frantically for napkin and water.

Natsu was sniffing down his tears, but gave Gildarts the wrong idea of sniffing the scent of the flower. No matter how tempting the sweet scent is, Natsu won't sniff it again, learning his lesson from the traumatizing experience.

"What is going to happen to meeeeeeeee?! I don't want to die!"

"IDIOT! You're not gonna die! Goddammit! Where is the water?!" Gildarts felt himself dealing with child Natsu all over again. God, Natsu didn't grow up one bit, "Ok, Now. Close your eyes and don't breathe until I say so."

"When is that?!"

"LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING BAKA!"

"Hai!" Natsu flinched, closing his eyes and holding his breath feeling Gildarts rough, but at the same time gentle treatment to his face.

Many dreamy eyes looked at them with very active thoughts.


Fantasy Number 3:

What a sweet world.

The world of an adult and child prohibited love. The world of no rules but passionate love and lust. They have heard about the 30 and 40 years old man falling in love with a 17 and 20 years old kid (male/female) because they had a sort of connection that others couldn't see. People looked at them with disgust, but others looked at them with deeply starry and passionate eyes.

Now, in this big stand, the flower of gay romance was blooming between the very well known irresistible S-class wizard Gildarts Clive and Natsu Dragneel, the young cute Salamander.

"Gildarts-San… I… I want to live… I want to be with you."

Gildarts, the sexiest man in Magnolia (Besides Hibiki), rested his forehead on his secret love's forehead and gently wiped away the tears which fell from Natsu's terrified hurt eyes. He couldn't take it. Not when his love was in so much pain.

"Don't say that. You'll always be with me. We have to fight this together and you'll be fine. I can't afford to lose you."

"But…"

"Shh…" Gildarts' finger was on Natsu's lower lip, stopping whatever 'insecurities' the boy had.

Gildarts never wanted to kiss anyone in his life more than he ever wanted now… Those lush young and seductive-

"Kiss him! Claim your only love! You have our support!" Cheered the audience which was composed of couples and dreamy imaginations.

"Cooooool! Fairy Tail is Cooool!" Jason had a blush on his cheeks while taking Gildarts and Natsu's picture for the next issue of The Weekly Sorcerer.

End Of Fantasy 3.


Reality 3:

"I TOLD YOU BEFORE NOT TO TOUCH THE BITCH FLOWER!"

"I wasn't paying attention, alright?! Hurry up and take it off!"

"I'm doing my best! The fucking thing is stuck on your ass."

"IT'S MY CHEEK!"

"WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE, ASS-CHEEK?!"

"When this is all finished I swear to god-AWW! This isn't a floor to mop! It's a human face! My face!"

Mirajane and Lucy sweat dropped. Apparently, both 'Love-birds' didn't pay attention to what was going on. That flower allergy must've been serious enough.

"I told you to hold your breath!" Gildarts yelled.

"Do you want me to die?!"

"BAKA! You'll die both ways! Choose the least hurtful way or don't you remember what happened?!"

So much for 'I can't afford to lose you' Shit.

Natsu moaned feeling his face being literally squashed because of Gildarts' constant rubbing. The man wanted to make sure that Natsu is completely clean of the orange liquid.

"Ok… Now… Breathe." Gildarts said as he threw the dirty napkins in the trash. "How do you feel?"

Natsu breathed in and out, not feeling the scent of the flower anymore thanks to Gildarts who made sure they didn't exist in front of Natsu.

"Ah… Fine, I guess. Th-thanks…"

Gildarts sighed. "Thank god… You scared me."


Continuation of Fantasy Number 3:

"Thank God… You scared me." Add hearts and flowers around Gildarts.

Oh How much exactly did this man love that little dragon slayer? It was amazing. The desire. The romance.

"I can't take my eyes off this magnificent love!"

The REAL End of Fantasy 3.


"Huh?!" Gildarts was confused partially because he missed part one of the fantasy.

Gray and Laxus sighed exasperated.

"It happened again." Laxus complained.

Gray snorted. "No kidding. That was even worse than any of the previous ones. It's not even realistic."

Laxus raised an eyebrow. "Are you implying that we-" He pointed to him and Gray, "-Can be realistic, Gray-chan?" He said the last 'Gray-chan' with an angry smirk that Gray didn't like.

The deep blue eyed boy elbowed Laxus who was getting dangerously close to make a point. " NOT in this universe or any other my dear friend. Back off!"

Laxus grunted and adjusted his white shirt. "Good, then try to maintain your distance."

"Exactly my words to you."

"Hmph. As if I would ever fall for a moron like you."

"You never know, Laxus-san." Gray wanted to be as seductive as possible. Gray's face was fine, but the calf in his leg was a different story.

"Moron." Laxus said ignoring Gray's moans of deep pain.


Jellal was gathering the stuff from his last request while moving back next to Hibiki who was busy kissing a girl's hand as an extra 'service' to ensure that she comes back to buy from them and unfortunately for him, he found the next hand very rough and big and…

"Holy fuck…"

It was a man. A perverted macho man!

"Waaaah, Hibiki-kun~"

Jellal almost dropped the box from his hand from the shock, and Hibiki's lips were suffering. Serves him right for attaching his lips to any hand, selfishly assuming that it'd be a woman.

"Ha-ha… P-please… come again…"

"I'll be sure to come back, Hibiki-Kun~!"

"Ah… Poor Hibiki-senpai." Ren and Eve retorted containing their snickers.

Jellal laughed uncontrollably holding his stomach.

Erza, Natsu and the rest watched Jellal in horror. Since when did Jellal laugh like that?! The guy rarely displayed any kind of an amusement expression on his face, let alone laughing! A sad smile? Yes. A sad look? Yes. A sad wistful 'Laugh'? Yes.

Erza didn't see Jellal laugh like this in-Ah, Years. At least a laugh that wasn't forced because of Ultear feeding Meredy chilly and tickling her and then transferring that to the boss. Jellal laughing out of joy is perhaps the most incredible achievement that anyone has ever made.

And that 'one' was ready to kill Jellal now.

"It's not so funny! Try kissing his hand and we'll see how you feel!" Hibiki bickered boiling with anger. Hibiki didn't boil from anger. It was also another change in character.

"The… Look at your-Hahahah!" Jellal didn't stop while burying his face in the counter, feeling that he can't take it anymore.

"Shut up." Hibiki rubbed his head furiously and stayed seconds before the next dreamy smile was drawn on his handsome face because another girl requested flowers and 'Chocolate' this time.

Jellal wiped away the tears formed in the corners of his eyes and stood pounding on his chest softly, trying to forget the image from earlier. He shook his head and was going to get some sheets for wrapping from Elfman when he saw Erza 'The supposedly man' gaping at him.

"E-Erza…" Jellal seemed to realize that he just have laughed loud, "I'm… I'm sorry!"

Erza gently smacked him on the shoulder. "Idiot… Why are you apologizing?"

"Ah…" Simple. Jellal always thought that he didn't deserve to laugh after the horrible things he did to Erza in the past and Fairy Tail. The 'Past' was always hunting him down. He couldn't sleep 'If he did' without nightmares about every little mistake he made.

"Stop daydreaming, and see the next costumer." She winked and took care of her own dreamy customer. Yes, Erza was a charming man now.

He sadly smiled and went to transfer the box on the counter next to Hibiki Lates, the poor idiot.

"Ahhh, no no, I need that space!" Hibiki didn't let the transfer go smoothly.

"But… It's my space." Jellal argued.

"Not anymore pal, go laugh at someone else. My fans need the space."

"Oh, come on! We all thought it was... Ha-ha, funny..."

"Bad for you, you're my stand's partner. You should show sympathy unlike those morons!"

Ren Akatsuki and Eve Tearm were having the time of their lives laughing at the situation not being able to look at Hibiki in the eye.

Jellal muffled a snicker squeezing his lips together tightly and then stuttered, "S-sorry, won't happen again… So please make way."

"You little jerk." Hibiki couldn't help but to smile. Jellal's laugh instantly became one of the most pleasant things to see.


Fantasy Number 4:

"Hibiki…" Jellal dropped the box on the floor upon seeing his 'Love' kissing another man's hand. He felt… Betrayed, fooled, and heart broken.

Just why?

Hibiki saw the tears threatening to fall from his man's beautiful dark amber eyes and nothing pained him more than that.

"Love…"

"Say no more… I know… I'm not good enough for you…" The sea blue haired boy turned his back on Hibiki, the gorgeous man he fell in love with.

"You got it wrong, Love!" Hibiki wrapped his arms around Jellal pulling the boy from behind into an embrace, "I will never do it again if it bothers you. My career is of no importance to me if you're hurt. Forgive me, love."

"Hibiki…"

"Aoi-kun! Please forgive him! I won't let him kiss my hand for you~!" (Since the girls didn't know Jellal's real name, they called him 'Blue-Kun'.) A girl said crying (because she sacrificed Hibiki kissing her hand like the rest) standing next to Juvia who shared her imagination with everybody else.

Girls liked Drama mixed with boys love. The best smoothie ever.

End Of Fantasy 4.


Hibiki resisted kicking Gray's ass because the blue-eyed ice mage was now rolling on the ground drowned in sadistic heavy laughter. "FORGIVE ME LOVE?! AHahahaha!"

"Gray… It's coming at you again. Mark my words." Hibiki glared.

"Yeah r-r-right! Ahahaha! As long as I'm keeping my distance from the half-dragon slayer, my ass is fine."

"You'll still see!"

Gray waved his hand dismissing Hibiki's threat, and wiped away the tears. The ice-mage took the flowers Gildarts asked for, and went to give it to him. Unfortunately for him, he stomped on Natsu's foot by accident, but the dumbass didn't want to leave it at that because he punched Gray in the stomach. Gray groaned then came back with a counterattack on Natsu's back.

"You're a dead man Jackass!"

"It was an accident moron."

"IT WAS NOT! I saw your sadistic bastardy look when you stomped on my foot!"

Gray got up and caught Natsu's hands pinning him to the wall. "I don't have time for this! Moreover, I'm not planning to get hurt from Erza in case we destroyed the whole stand in the process, so how about we settle this later? And while we're at it, you might tell me why you were avoiding me, huh?"

Natsu covered his blush by kneeing Gray in the gut. "Bastard! You wish!"


Fantasy Number 5:

The Prince charming apologizes for Natsu. "Are you hurt? I'm so sorry." His sexy husky voice sends the boy's face on fire.

"You're a dead man Jackass!"

Prince Charming kneels on the floor before his unrequited love feeling deeply sorry for his terrible mistake that was making beloved one angry and furious.

"I apologize. Apparently I did something terrible. Do your worst, I'm prepared."

Natsu blushes and shakes his head. "G-go… away, I'm busy."

Prince charming stands up and in a flash, pins the adorable pink-haired to the wall. "Why aren't you looking at me? Why are you avoiding me? Is it because of these intense feelings I bear for you? If that's the case then I shall never show you my face ever again!"

Natsu couldn't stand the sad look on his friend, and now 'more'. The girls decided the plot so that an old girlfriend threatened Natsu and told him that he's not good enough for Prince charming.

"How… Why didn't you tell me this before?…" Prince charming was in shock.

"It doesn't matter! She was right, let go!"

Although Prince charming was surprised by the truth, he was happy that his love shared his feelings. He held His Love's chin up so that he can look at the beautiful glistening green eyes.

"Natsu…" Finally. Natsu is looking at him!

"Gray…"

"How beautiful!" The girls buying chocolate from Elfman ignored him and thought that this was the best interaction they'd seen in the love stand.

"Juvia is Jealous Gray-sama!"

End Of Fantasy 5.


"Unrequited love, huh Gray?! AHAHA!" It was Hibiki's turn to laugh.

Natsu and Gray looked at each other. More like Natsu blushing and Gray looks blankly.

"You know, you're right. This is so ridiculous. Stop laughing jerk!"

Lucy gaped. Not exactly upset. She got a lot of ideas for her current ongoing STRAIGHT novel.

Even though it was something weird what other people imagined, Natsu feels that he understands why Juvia always fantasized about Gray.

Natsu Dragneel hated fantasies.

Because they'll never happen and it brought a wistful smile on his red face.

… Chapter Ends…

Author Note:

And that will be it for now. Apparently, there are threat PMs coming to my Inbox and people are going to commit homicide if I didn't update "Magnolia's Shounen Ai". So unfortunately, this one will have to wait after at least an update from my emotionally messed up story. Or not? Who knows? I'm a cruel person, I can go with my awful mood swings instead of the majority's complaints. Gah, Sue me. I'm horrible I know.

NOTE THAT: People, you can perfectly pull your hair out because of my choice of pairings in this story. It's sadistic I know. Especially the Gildarts/Natsu one, however, I have no explanation for my actions and therefore…. Shoot me in the head, and I won't tell you to stop. That's what you signed up for when you decided to read anything from me. I'm a sadistic bastard after all.

AND: This Author will be out-of-town if you decided to rent a Hitman. HA! I caught all of your plans! You think I wouldn't notice the smell of conspiracy?! *Acting all paranoid while readers look at her with blank faces…. And then glares!*

SO: Ahaha….. *Laughs nervously!*….. fine! I'm backing off now.

See you all!

Looooove,

Flame-Belt


To my Lovely (adorable) Hamsters-I mean-Ahem-Reviewers:

EllieGymGirl

Hmmm. I sense this: 'Update Magnolia's shounen Ai or else!' Hahaha, I totally agree with you. I left such a bad cliffhanger the last time.

Ok princess, I will update my other stories. And thank you very much for your comment (Kisses!)

AND don't worry, I'll be updating my hopless story next.

Enjoy!

elex88

This is it. I smell it. I can SMELL IT! The scent of a new fan.

Elex-San, I'm….. I'm… at loss of words. I don't know what I did to deserve this much praise from you, but I so appreciate it. Thanks for favoriting the majority of my stories, I don't know how I fucking did it, but I managed to make you a follower of mine. Believe me, I don't deserve all that.

Hehe, ok. I can't express my gratitude with words.

Thanks also for your lovely review, and I so hope you don't stop being a fan of mine because of the awkward pairings that keep on showing up. Hehe, Natsu/Gray, will be the eventual ones so no worries.

Until then!

Enjoy!

Guest

Hehe, even though I don't know your name, I'm certainly grateful for the praise you gave me. *Bows!*

Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked my writing style which needs improvement. Thanks!

theabridgedkuriboh

Here comes my awesome reviewer, theabridgedkuriboh-san! Words cannot describe how I oh am grateful to you, again. thanks for following this with me.

Well, Natsu is very tortured in all my stories, but this will be the least horrible one, believe me. and I'm glad you're not disturbed by last chapter's fantasies, however, I'll forgive you if you felt like that at this one.

I've gone with it too far, and there is no stopping to my evilness. Hehe, ok I'm gonna stop making you mad now, and I'll just say, thank you. (Hugs!)

Crystalangel554
Aw dear. You wanted Natsu fantasies and there you go. I wish that wasn't an eye burner, but I warned you, right?!

Hehe, well, you got to be prepared when reading this. And I totally agree with you about Laxus/Gray fans. They just see everything upside down. I wish I had such a creative imagination, but no. They beat me to it every time.

I can only say, thank you so much, you made my day! And I hope you enjoyed reading.

AsDarknessSpreads

So when I decided to put messed up fantasies about awkward couples, you my dear, arise and become a fan of Laxus/Gray. (AREN'T WE ALL HOPELESS FANGIRLS?! THAT'S THE SPIRIT MY DEAR FRIEND!) Haha, I'm turning into my freaky mode now.

You want the address of the shop? Of course I will give it. (Text mails the address!) Happy? Only you have to travel back in time, easy.

Lovely review! It's nice to see you following this too with me.

MentallyDatingGrayFullbuster

"There were just a few bits I didn't quite get. Like, the scene after my favorite line. Was Gray talking to Laxus while he was handling that lady customer with the heart shaped eyes? Or did he switch over to talking to the lady in the middle of one of his lines to Laxus?"

First, I really appreciate your attentive eyes. It brings to me joy.

Well, Gray was talking to laxus and then talked to the lady and then came back to Laxus, all in one line. Wow, I realized how messed up that was… and of course it was hard to read, so now, this author is guilty and will try to pay more attention to the poor readers eyes. In the mean time…. You can punish me Hime. *Talks like Virgo!*

Ok, that was stupid, don't mind me. My point is, I'll be careful next time, Hime. And I really appreciate your review. It was exactly what I wanted Hime.

See you in another chapter, and I really hope you enjoyed reading this one, Hime.
