GrayLu chappie 2

Ice can heal a broken heart

A/N: so I've been typing this on my iPad, directly after I made notes on the story so tell me what you guys think. :)

Disclaimer: I do not own fairy tail.

Lucy's POV

I wish I could stay in the darkness or stay in reality, but unfortunately my mind would not allow that. Plaguing me with the very images that has drove me into this situations the first place. Fate is cruel and twisted,making me repeat the one moment I wished to forget.

A little while later, I remember the familiar motion I was currently experiencing. A train I thought to myself, as it stopped. I opened my eyes slightly, allowing me to see it was night again, and yet, Gray was still watching me with a worried look, and it looked like he hadn't slept (what with the prominent bags under his eyes). I went to stand up to get off the train,but my legs couldn't handle the weight after not being used. Gray saw this and went to help me,and when I went to speak, all that came out was a hoarse "Gr...ay". He looked at me weirdly, so I rolled my eyes and raised a single eyebrow, despite the pain it induced I just couldn't help teasing Gray.

Once he had realised that he had stripped subconsciously out of worry again, he flushed bright red before collecting his clothes from around the train cabin. Something I had never seen on the ice Mage before, seeing as though he was naked half the time anyway.

It confused me and made me wonder why he was blushing, either he was always embarrassed but usually hid it better, or it was because of my presence, seeing as though we were currently alone. All of this thinking had started to create a dull throb in my head, meaning. We needed to get off the train immediately before it set off again. Almost as if sensing my thought, Gray picked me up again and started walking off the train. The motion, made the ache in my head grow more painful with each step, bringing a bright white light behind my eyelids.

I whimpered quietly. Gray noticed this and held me closer and whispered very gently, almost so I couldn't hear, "we're nearly there Lucy, don't worry." I could hear the strain that the worry put into his voice, distorting it slightly.

He kept walking and the doors of Lamia Scale came into view, so I looked a little closer and saw that the building looked like our guild had when I first joined. The only difference was the sign and the extra dormitories added on. Also, the colours were pink and green, which even I could see in the dark.

Before I got too caught up in thought, Gray rang the doorbell, which was answered by a communications lacrimal lighting up with the face of their master, Ooba Babasama. She glared menacingly, "what's Makarov's child doing here? Do you want to spin boy!" Gray shook his head vehemently at the threat at explained what had happened and to only tell Lyon and Chelia.

After a little while Chelia's face popped up on the screen pleading Ooba Babsama to let us in. And so, unable to resist the small girls charms, she let us in and Lyon led us to the infirmary wing. Lyon asked a question posed towards Gray, "why are you doing this for her? I thought it would be Natsu seeing as how close they are." Gray replied very simply keeping it short, but his words shocked me. "I'll do anything so long as Lucy is safe."

I didn't have long to rid myself of the embarrassment before a small sharp pain appeared on my upper bicep. Looking at it Chelia had put a needle in my arm and was apologising. The last thing I saw was Gray's worried face.

Gray's POV

I could vaguely hear Chelia talking to me, but I paid no attention to her. All my concentration was on Lucy and how hard her breathing was. She stopped talking as if waiting for an answer, so I looked up at her with a confused expression. I saw. Lyon stood behind her, a look of worry on his face for his younger friend. 'He really is like a big brother' I said to myself as he led us into an adjacent room. He looked at me pointedly before he started speaking. "Gray, are you alright?" I just sneered at his attempt at comfort, "It's not me you should be worried about, it's Lucy. And really, Lyon. Do I look alright?" I didn't mean to speak so sarcastically towards him but the emotional and physical drain of getting Lucy here had had a toll on me.

I felt tears well up as I punched the wall at the side of me in frustration and shouting out to no one in particular. "Goddammit! If only I had payed more attention to what I was seeing! I saw that she was changing but I shrugged it off as nothing! I completely ignored the signs and left her alone Lyon! She could have died. Hell she almost did!"

After these words the tears began to fall and I collapsed on the floor in despair and guilt over the situation that Lucy had gotten herself into. I kept talking though, "the worst part about that is that she did that to herself, and there was nobody there to stop her."

Seeing that I had calmed down, he moved towards me, placing a hand on my shoulder in an attempt to comfort me. "It's okay to cry over someone love. It's completely natural, Gray." I just scoffed at his words, too far gone into the grief that was beginning to overwhelm me. "Love? Does such an emotion exist in either if us? Is that why she pulled a suicide attempt? I obviously didn't love her enough to stop her from self harm and depression. Why should my so called 'love' for her change anything?"

I couldn't stop the words pouring from my being, despite me knowing that he was right. But I hated that he was and he knew it. He just sighed and shook his head slightly. "Look, Gray, she obviously didn't know about your feelings. In fact, until you came here with that heartbroken look I doubt that anyone would have known, especially those you are closest to. So instead of blaming yourself, use your feelings to help her afterwards. You can stop her next time, because you will be there for her. "

I cursed to my self, 'dammit that bastards right again'. Determined to at least find some kind of explanation I said. So softly, so that Lyon could only just hear what I was saying, "then why didn't she want to go to Fairy Tail? They're like family and were nakama, so why didn't she come to us?"

At the question I had posed, Lyon had begun to look uncomfortable and fidget. Something he did as a child when he knew that what he was going to say was going to get a scolding, though I had no intentions of that. "Well... You see... My guess would be that... It was someone from the guild that drove her to her actions. If she doesn't want to go back then take her away for a while, until she feels ready to cope with returning at least."

His suggestion made perfect sense, so I requested for a communications lacrima, which Lyon obliged to fetch after I told him it was to contact our master. This left me alone with my thoughts and I began to think of where we could go to, to get away from Fairy Tail.

A couple of minutes later, Lyon returned with the lacrima in hand. I requested privacy to make the call, and once again, Lyon followed without question, leaving me alone in the room. Pouring a small amount of magical energy into the lacrima, I imagined our master and sent the call. The reply was almost immediate, "Gray you do realise its..." He looks away from the lacrima and looks back again with a pale face, "four thirty in the morning." He said it like it was a statement rather than a question.

I replied to it though explaining all that had happened with Lucy and requesting temporary leave from the guild along with Lucy. "When will the two of you return to us?" He queried once he had explained how to remove our guild marks and how to hide his magical pressure.

I nodded and stopped communications letting the lacrima roll away from me. Standing I moved through the door into the infirmary. When Chelia saw me coming she touched Lyon's shoulder and they both exited the room, leaving me with Lucy. I went and sat next to her bad grasping her hand. I made a vow to myself that day. I would kill whoever had made her turn to suicide, guild member or not. Even if they were stronger than me, I wouldn't give up until that person was dead.
