Gratsu Week: Day 3 – Mine
Gray panted as he watched the monster that the team was supposed to be bringing down, paced around, long sinewy body curling around the ruins of the town. Its mouth curled back and growled low in its throat, causing Gray to shiver. The remains of its smaller den mates lay crumpled in between them.
His cherry-blossomed haired teammate landed beside him on all fours, grunting as he landed roughly on his damaged ankle. "Gray..."
Gray nodded and they fell into their battle stances. The girls had retreated to lead the remaining townsfolk through the dangerous terrain to safety, leaving the boys to cover for them.
They just had to hold out till they got back.
"Ice make-!"
"Roar of the-!"
They were cut off when the snake monster shot forward, straight at them, rows of sword-fangs gleaming dangerously. Gray quickly jumped away, up onto a taller pillar. He hissed when the monster's impact forced up a cloud of dust, obscuring if Natsu had made it safely out of harm's way.
GROWL
Gray felt his heart stop when the smoke cleared and he saw the Fire Dragon Slayer trying to keep the jaws from snapping around him with nothing but his bare hands.
"Natsu!"
"G-gray! Help!"
Oh shit, oh shit! He had to save him, now! "ICE-MAKE... HAMMER!" The frozen hammer flew its way and smashed into the side of the beast. It growled menacingly and Natsu visibly strained. "Gr-ay!"
The raven haired gritted his teeth and fell back into position. He had to figure out something to save Natsu. With his weakened foot and near empty magic, he wouldn't last long. Think, think damn it, think! "Ice Make..." whatever he picked would either kill or save Natsu. "Canon!" the ice cannonball slammed into the beast, at the spot where the jaw bone met the neck.
The monster howled, mouth gaping open and Natsu jumped away at the opportunity.
"Roar of the Fire Dragon!"
The monster, already weakened by its injuries, went down fairly easy after the final burning attack. Still falling, Natsu let out a happy, "We did it!"
Gray raced over and with a grunt, managed to catch his teammate in his arms. He gently let the pink haired male down before wrapping him up in a tight hug. "Don't make me worry like that!" he snarled.
Natsu gave his usual laugh and hugged back, "I'm fine, Gray! Besides..." he pulled back from the hug and gently bumped heads with his boyfriend. "You're just as much mine as I am yours; I won't leave you."
The pulled back when they head the girls calling out to them, "Oi! You two ok?"
Natsu pumped his fist in the air, using Gray as support to avoid aggravating his foot any further, a wide grin on his face. "Yeah! Little roughed up, but that worm was no match for us! Gyahaha!"
A/N: Fairly happy with how this one turned out. I'll try even harder for the next few one-shots. Also, I'm not sure if it was made clear, but basically Natsu was in the monster's mouth like Eren was in that one titan.
