Chapter 2: Confessions and Break Ups
It's been a week since that incident. A week since Natsu saw Gray and Juvia hugging each other. As the rosette looked at the star filled sky, he recalled the next day's events...
Flashback...
Natsu and Happy went to the guild early the next day in search of Lucy. She wasn't there though. The duo looked high and low for her, but she was nowhere to be seen. Finally, he turned to the waitress, Mira Jane for help.
"Hey Mira I have a question for you."
The waitress looked up to the fire dragon slayer and smiled.
"Yes Natsu, what is it?"
"Have you seen Lucy today? She's usually here by now..."
The white haired female shook her head.
"I'm sorry Natsu. I haven't seen her."
He looked down and pushed himself off the stool.
"Ok... Thanks for the help."
As he turned to leave, Levy spoke up.
"Lu-chan and Erza went on a request 2 hours ago."
The rosette ran straight to the periwinkle haired female and asked,
"What request did they go on?"
She thought about it and remembered.
"Oh yeah! They went on the request to rescue the princess that was held hostage in some town very far from here. I think it also had a second request to defeat the guild that took her for an extra bonus. It was a girls only mission, because the princess is most comfortable around girls, so that's why they left you guys here. They'll be back by next week."
"WHAT?! Next week?!" The fire dragon slayer didn't think that he'd be able to see THOSE people together for that long.
"Yep. Lu-chan really needed the money, and this one looked safe enough to go on, not to mention the price was a big one."
"Ok... Thanks, Levy."
"You're welcome, Natsu."
Natsu decided that he would just stay home and relax for the week. He seriously didn't feel like doing any requests, and going to the guild and seeing THEM like THAT was too painful.
End of Flashback...
"Tomorrow then... I'll be able to solve this problem tomorrow..." He said to himself. He looked over to the exceed, who was fast asleep and said, "Oyasumi, Happy." He turned off the lamp light and went to bed.
Gray, writing lyrics, 3:45am...
"This should be good." the raven looked at the lyrics he just finished. That whole week he stayed at home and finished 3 whole songs. The first one was called, "Wanted" the second one was called, "Monster" and the third was called, "Lover's Soul." He wanted to tell Natsu how he felt through music, and that's what he tried to do with these pieces of music. He looked at the clock and rubbed his eyes. "I guess I should go to bed... I'll tell him tomorrow. I'll tell him how I feel about him tomorrow, and break off this ridiculous relationship I'm in right now." The raven walked over to the navy colored sheets on his bed and fell right asleep.
Natsu and Happy, walking to the guild, 12:45pm...
Natsu and Happy were on their way to the guild when he heard Juvia yell, "Has anybody seen Gray-sama? Juvia can't find him anywhere!"
Immediately, the rosette got worried. He started running towards Gray's apartment, hoping he was there. As he got there, he looked through the split in the the black curtains. He was there, fast asleep. Natsu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yokata ne... He's safe."
Happy looked at the sleeping Gray and asked,
"I wonder if he's an insomniac. I mean, he's fast asleep and it's already 1 in the afternoon."
"I don't know, Happy. I don't know."
The rosette looked at the sleeping Gray and thought, 'Wow... Gray looks so peaceful when he sleeps... If only I could be sleeping right next to him...-Wait! No! I can't be thinking like that!'
He shook his head furiously to try to get the evil thoughts in his head out.
The exceed noticed and said,
"Natsu's having dirty thouhts~"
"No I'm not!" the rosette replied, trying to fight back the blush that was coming up. Happy tried to hold back the laughter, but he broke. He started laughing like a psycho, and Natsu had to shut his friend's mouth and had to run away from the raven's apartment. After they ran a pretty far distance, they stopped running, but Happy's laughter didn't.
"Geez, Happy. Can't you control your laughter?"
The exceed controlled his laughter to hiccups and said,
"Not when you're blushing as red as a tomato! Hahaha!"
The rosette was going to counter his friend's statement, but Happy's stomach yelled, "Feed me!"
"Heh heh, I guess it's time for lunch. Wanna go fishing, Happy?"
"Fish?!" the exceed's eyes glittered and Natsu laughed.
"All right. Let's go, Happy."
"Aye Sir!"
Gray, getting up, 4:45pm...
Gray's eyes slowly opened, adjusting to the light little by little. He looked over at the clock. It read 4:45pm. "Nani?! It's already this late?!" He jumped out of his bed and ran to the bathroom to take a shower and brush his teeth, then he took out some toasted bread and some orange juice, since that was basically all that was left to eat. After finishing his food, he rummaged through his clothes. After segregating what was clean and what was dirty, he found a black T-shirt, a cerulean blue polo shirt, and black pants. He threw those on, and ran out, only to find Juvia right in front of him.
Juvia smiled. "Gray-sama! Juvia's glad you're safe!" she got closer to him and hugged him. She slowly let go and got on her toes, pressing her lips onto the ice mage's. At that time, Natsu and Happy were coming back to Gray's apartment. He saw the love of his life kissing another person. His heart was hurting, like somebody stabbed him there. Tears welled up in his green eyes. He broke into a run and ran as far away from there as possible. After some time, the exceed, who was still getting over the shock, realized that his friend was missing.
"Natsu? Where are you?" Happy decided to leave the scene as well, to look for his friend.
Slowly, Gray raised his hands, grabbed Juvia by the shoulders and pushed her away from him. Juvia didn't understand why Gray did that.
"But why Gray-sama? Aren't we a couple?"
"Not anymore Juvia. It's over. I can't watch the one I really love get hurt because I'm protecting this stupid secret of mine. If you want to tell the guild, go ahead. I don't care. I just can't do this and hurt Natsu at the same time!" The raven didn't realize that the name "Natsu" slipped from his lips.
Juvia stood there, replaying that last sentence over and over in her head. She finally was able to get over the shock enough to ask,
"Gray-sama... Y-you're g-gay?"
"Yes. Now if you'll excuse me, there is somebody I have to find."
He was leaving the porch when the water user grabbed his wrist and sang,
"Malchik gay, malchik gay
I can be all you need
Won't you please stay with me?
Malchik gay, makchik gay
Apologies, might have beens
Malchick gay, malchik gay
Can't erase how I feel
Malchik gay, gay Malchik gay!"
The raven didn't look back at Juvia. All he did was sing this.
"Baby girl it's Over with love (Baby girl it's over with your love )
neol jiugiga himdeuleo ireohge manggajyeobeorin (It's so hard to erase you. You wouldn't understand)
naui mameul neon ihae mothalgeoya (How broken my heart has been.)
Over hajima neo eobdago nan bulhaenghaji aneul geonigga (Don't over do it. I won't be unstable without you)
seulpeuncheok hajima (Don't act like you're sad)
Cause it's over between us.(Cause it's over between us.)
Slowly, the water user let go of the raven's wrist, crying her eyes out. Gray turned around and said,
"Arigatou, Juvia." He quickly turned around and ran off toward the direction of the forest, hoping that Natsu would be there.
Juvia fell to the floor, continuing to cry. Then she remembered the scene in a movie she just watched called "Les Miserables" where a girl was singing in the rain, talking about loving somebody withou the other peson's love. She liked it because it reminded her of herself and Gray. Slowly collecting herself, she sang the last part of the song with a shaky voice.
"I love him,
But when the night is over
He is gone- the river's just a river
Without him the world around me changes
Trees are bare and everywhere the
Streets are full of strangers
I love him
But everyday I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me, his world would go on turning
Aworld that's full of happiness
That I have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own."
"Gray-sama...Juvia wishes you happiness for both you and Natsu-kun..." Juvia said as she watched the falling sun in the distance.
Gray, running in the forest...
Gray was running full speed into the forest. He hoped his hunch was right and Natsu was there. For some strange reason, his 1st English song came into mind, "Gotta Find You." As he searched for the rosette, he sang his favorite part of the song.
"Been feeling lost, can't find the words to say
Spending all my time stuck on yesterday
Where you are, is where I wanna be
Oh next to you, and you next to me
Oh... I need to find you... Yeah
You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're missing piece I need the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're missing piece I need the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
Yeah
Yeah... I gotta find you."
Natsu in the forest...
Natsu was trying to control his sobs in the forest. Without knowing it, he went and ran to the place that had many memories for Natsu and Gray.
"I hate you Gray..." He gathered himself and sang.
Ima kara iu koto wa zenbu ga hontou no koto da yo (Everything I'm about to say is the truth)
Satou wa shoppakute shio wa tottemo amai (Sugar is salty while salt is really sweet.)
Fuyu wa asebamu kisetsu de natsu wa kogoeru kisetsu de (Winter is a sweaty season while Summer is a freezing one)
Kujira wa hoshizora oyogi kienai niji no AACHi wo moguru (Jellyfish swim in the starry sky diving under the arch of the perpetual rainbow)
Kimi no koto wa daikirai zutto issho ni itakunai (Ihate you I don't want to be with you forever)
Isshun de wasureta shi omoide ni nanka naranai (It took me no time to forget about you and I don't have any memories with you)
Kami-sama wa sonzai suru shi rokujuugo oku no yume wa kanau shi (God does exist and the 65 hundred million dreams will all be granted)
Itsuka arasoigoto wa naku naru shi minna eien ni waraiaeru shi (Wars will cease to happen someday and everyone will be able to smile for eternity )
Soshite kirai na kimi wa ima demo genki de iki wo shite iru (And you, the one I hate are still breathing now )
Iki wo shite iru (Are still breathing now )...
Natsu laughed to himself.
"Who am I kidding? It's not hate... I love you Gray... But I couldn't say it to you again..."
Gray running in the forest...
Gray looked everywhere for Natsu, but he was nowhere. When he was about to give up, he saw the dragon slayer leaning against the tree that had many memories of the duo. In this place 5 years ago, Gray had tried to confess to the rosette, but being the baka he is, he only thought it was a confession for friendship.
He hid behind a tree far enough away from the dragon slayer so then his sensitive nose wouldn't pick up his scent.
Natsu recalled a memory from 5 years back and sighed.
"If only that confession 5 years ago was a romantic one, things wouldn't be this bad..."
'That confession 5 years ago WAS a romantic one baka! Wait-' The raven slowly processed those words and he realized what it meant.
'Natsu...likes me... too?"
Natsu gave a small laugh. It probably won't be heard, but at least I can pretend that he's here. Slowly he took a deep breath and he started singing.
"Neorago (It's you)
Neorago (It's you)
Nan neoppoonirago (It's only you)
Neorago... (It's you...)"
'"It's You"... This song was for him ...' Gray listened as the rosette started singing, 'What a beautiful singing voice he has. It kinda reminds me of a girl's, but not that high pitched... It's heavenly in a sense...'
"Darum sarum piryo eobso naneun geunyan neorago (I don't need anyone else, it's only you)
Dashi hanbeon mooreo bwado naneun genyan neorago (When you ask again, it's only you)
Imi neoneun darun saranghaeggejjiman (Even if you already have another love)
Nohchil sooga eobso dishi soo eobso oh~ (I can't forget you, I can't turn back around oh~)
Nae noonbichi ddeugeoweodon soongane (The moment my eyes begin to burn)
Gaseum gipun moseul bokdeon soongane (The moment my heart was captured by yours)
Miryeon eobshi baro neoreul soontaekhasso (I have no regret, I chose you)
Gurae nan neorago (That's right, it's you)
Oh nan~
Geu nooga nooga mweorado naneun sanggwan eobdago (oh whatever anyone anyone says, it doesn't matter to me)
Geu nooga nooga yokheade noeman barabondago (Oh whoever whoeber curses me, I'll only look at you)
Na dashi taeyeonandado ojik neoppoonirago (Jakko jakko) shigani heulledo (Even when I'm reborn again, its still only you (Still stiil) even as time goes by)
Oh nan~
Neol saranghanda marhaedo cheonbeon manbeon marhaedo (Oh when you tell me you love me thousands and millions of times)
Nae gaseum sok da booltago mareun ipsol dwedorok (Even when my heart sets on fire, my dry lips wear out)
Na dashi taeyeon taeyeon andedo ojik neoppooniragi (Jakko jakoo) Shigani heulledo (Even when I'm reborn again, it's still only you (Still still) even as time goes by
Oh nan~..."
"It's surprising a flamehead like you has a singing voice like that." A familiar voice said.
Natsu's eyes widened and looked to see if it was really him.
"Gray... What are you doing here?! I don't want to see you! Go away!" He said.
"I'm not leaving, Natsu. There's been something I've been meaning to tell you. While I'm at it I'll tell you my secret. I'm the Ice Price, Natsu."
Natsu was beyond surprised, his best friend and secret crush was his favorite artist? That has to be wierd or a coincidence.
"Is that why you never sang with us at the guild? To keep that hidden?"
"That's also why I had to be with Juvia."
"I thought you loved her though."
"No. There's somebody else that I love"
Inside Natsu was relieved that Gray was forced to be in a relationship with Juvia and he didn't love her, but on the other hand, he was sad. He knew that the other person wasn't going to be him-
"Natsu... I love you."
"You... love... me?" Natsu asked slowly. He was sure he heard it, but was it a dream?
"Yes, flamehead. I. Love. You."
Tears welled up in his eyes for the second time that day. This time, they were tears of happiness. He ran to the raven and hugged him very tightly.
"I love you too! I couldn't find the courage to tell you. Days passed, and then years passed. I've loved you for 10 years. And all this time..."
The raven hugged back. "I've loved you for 10 years too... Then I thought you liked Lisanna, and then I couldn't find the right words to say it when we were alone... Gomen na... It took a lot longer to tell you this, and I hurt you too."
Natsu let go of Gray and looked at him in the eye after wiping away his tears. "It's ok. You didn't do it on purpose. Either way though, it did hurt my feelings."
Gray placed his pale hand on the fire mage's smooth skin. "Will this maake up for it?"
He closed the distance between them in a passionate kiss. It took a second for Natsu to realize that the love of his life was kissing him. He kissed back and they shared a kiss underneath the bright full moon.
In time, they slowly broke the kiss and the rosette blushed. "Yeah... That'll make up for it."
"Good. Saa... I don't know how to say it any better, but will you go out with me?" The raven blushed a little, and the moonlight reflected it.
Natsu looked at the other male and gave a small giggle. He nodded with a big smile.
Gray smiled back and outstrecthed his hand to the other male. "Let's go, my love. I'll walk you home."
"Heh. You don't even know where my house is, baka!" Natsu took the outstreched hand and interlocked their fingers together.
"Then lead the way, flamehead."
"Whatever..." As they walked to Natsu's apartment, he realized Happy was nowhere to be seen.
"Huh. I wonder where Happy is..."
"You'll find him sooner or later. He'll come home eventually."
"Yeah, you're right."
Happy, in the sky, looking for Natsu still...
"Naaatsuuuu?! Where are you?" The exceed landed on the roof of some random person's home and looked at the fuul moon.
"Wa... Tsuki wa hountou ni kirei nya~" For a long time the exceed looked at the moon. Then he remembered he still didn't find Natsu yet.
"Wah! Wasureta! I still didn't find Natsu yet! Oh well, he should be home by now, so I guess I'll go home then..." Happy spread his white wings and took flight, heading home.
