Grey had been waiting in the hospital waiting room for a whole twelve hours, worrying his head off over whether or not Natsu would live.
Finally, the doctor came out of the emergency room and called out, "Is there someone here for a Natsu Dragneel?"
Grey immediately shot up and rushed over to the doctor saying, "I am. How is he?"
"He will be fine. A bit malnutrition and dehydrated, but we fixed that with an IV. As soon as he wakes up he can go."
"Thank you, doctor," Grey said as he started off to Natsu's room.
Before walking in, Grey prepared for what he might see, not knowing if there will be bandages or how thing his Natsu had gotten since he had left earlier that week. He had felt guilty about not checking the weather before he left.
After taking a deep breath, Grey walked into the small hospital room. In the middle of the room sat a bed with white linens and under the linens lay Natsu. His cheeks were slightly sunken in and the blanket didn't seem to reach as far off the bed as it should.
Grey walked over to the bed and placed a hand on Natsu's cheek, closed his eyes, and whispered, "I'm so sorry."
Feeling something on his face, Natsu opened his eyes and focused on Grey, who was standing over him. He couldn't believe his eyes. In a hoarse, broken voice Natsu whispered, "Grey?"
Grey, startled, opens his eyes and flashed his best smile. "Hey there, Sleeping Beauty."
At that Natsu started breaking down into sobs of relief, whispering over and over again, "I was so scared. I'm so sorry. I'm such a mess."
All the while Grey kept trying to hush him. When Natsu finally settled down Grey said, "Why don't we go home?"
At Natsu's nod Grey picked him up and walked out of the hospital. Once they made it outside, Natsu said, "I love you so god damn much."
Grey smiled down at Natsu and said, "I love you too."
