A.N: Hello again, everyone! I finally finished this! It took me awhile since I had school work to do. It was super boring. *Sigh* Oh well. I guess it's time for you to read the story now though, right? I hope you enjoy it! And please review! It'll make me smile, and I would probably be more excited to keep writing. Yet again, if you don't, that's fine. I'll still upload new drabbles/one-shots when I think of them.

Ciao,

Kaede-chanxo

Secret

"Gray!" Erza calls, walking over to the ice mage with her infamous glare. Gray, who was sitting at a table by himself, looks up and frowns, wondering what he did wrong this time.

"Yes, Erza?" Gray asks carefully, not wanting to get her more angry than she is now. The fierce glare and her frowning lips are enough signs to let him now he's in trouble. Deep trouble.

"What are you hiding from me?!" She demands, slamming her fist on the table and breaking it in half. Gray's cup of ice fell to the ground and shattered on impact, sending small pieces of glass all over.

Gray curiously raises his eyebrow, showing off his own confusion. What does Erza think he's hiding from her? The only thing he's hiding from her is him being scared and…. Oh! Has she finally figured out about that? Gray thinks to himself, a small smirk forming on his lips. He decides to have a little more fun with the raging girl.

"What on earthland are you talking about, Erza?" Gray asks calmly, crossing his arms over his chest and leans back on the chair, balancing on two legs.

"I'm talking about the thing you're hiding! Why is Natsu not fighting as much? And where has he been?" Erza questions, pointing her finger at Gray accusingly.

"What about flame head? Maybe he's too tired to fight. He could be taking care of Happy, too." Gray answers, his smirk growing bigger and bigger. He knew he's going to be dead at the end, but he couldn't help it. Knowing something Erza doesn't is really rare.

"Gray... I swear, you better tell me what in the world is going on!" Erza shouts out, re-equipping into armor as she threatening points the sword at him. Gray lets a soft sigh escape his lips.

"Listen, I don't know what's wrong with him or where he has been. Maybe he got injured?" Gray suggests, shrugging his shoulders and stands up, sending Erza a smirk. "I'll go check on him for you, okay?"

"Fine... but when you come back you are going to tell me everything - and I mean everything! - that happened, got it?" Erza hisses out before walking over to the bar and sitting down on the stool, ordering her favorite dessert.

Gray chuckles to himself before walking out of the guild, walking towards Natsu's house.

Natsu groans quietly to himself as he lays in bed, staring up at the ceiling blankly. His whole body is sore. He can barely stand up without feeling pain. He blames most of it from his last mission. Happy, his exceed, refused to leave his side, so his guild mates are probably freaking out by now. A small smile begins to form on his lips. They'll probably send of Lucy.

"I don't think she's ever been here before..." Natsu mutters to himself while closing his eyes. He's always at Lucy's but she doesn't know about his cabin in the woods. His home. And Happy's. He continues to add onto the building every so often. He either replaces the wood or adds new furniture items.

Suddenly, his eyes snap open, listening to the footsteps approaching his home. He immediately recognizes them. The footsteps belong to his rival, Gray.

His front door slams open as Gray walks in, nudging the door shut with his foot, and walking over towards Natsu's bedroom. He opens up the door and stares at the younger male, smirking.

"Everyone's worried about you, dumbass." Gray says calmly, walking over to the bed and sits down on the edge, placing his hand over Natsu's forehead, shaking his head in amusement. "You're not sick."

"Well, it's your fault I'm stuck here in the first place! If you didn't almost get hit with that attack..." Natsu growls out, tightening his fist, frowning.

"If you didn't jump in front of the attack..." Gray adds quietly, leaning towards the smaller male with a grin. He softly whispers into the male's ear, "I wouldn't have had to punish you for worrying me." Natsu's whole face slowly turns bright red, remembering the events that happened the night they returned.

"D-Did you really have to be so damn rough though?!" Natsu shouts, narrowing his eyes as Gray begins to nibble on his ears.

"Yes, especially since you always act like the hero. What if your good luck streak ends and you actually get hurt?" Gray asks softly, climbing on top of Natsu and resting his hands on each side of Natsu's head, holding his weight up.

"I didn't want you to get hurt though..." Natsu whispers, staring up into Gray's eyes, a cute blush forming on his face again. "A-And get off of me damn it! You're not allowed in here anymore."

"Let's go." Gray says, completely ignoring Natsu, and stands up. He leans down and wraps his arms around Natsu's body and begins to carry him bridal style out of the house, heading towards the guild again.

"Gray! Put me down! Damn it this is embarrassing!" Natsu complains loudly as he squirms in Gray's arms, trying to get out of Gray's grip.

"Natsu forgot about me..." Happy whines as he flies out of the house, chasing after the rivals.

Gray kicks open the guild door and walks into the hall, smirking as he places the red face teenager on a chair, ignoring the surprised looks on everyone's face.

"Damn it bastard, I really hate you right now." Natsu growls out, puffing his cheeks out in annoyance and looks away.

"I love you too, Natsu." Gray replies, suddenly smirking, "Especially in bed." Natsu slams his head on the table, breaking it in half as he groans, feeling Erza stalk behind them.

Gray better be the only one to get hurt. Natsu thinks to himself, slowly turning around to face the demon known as Erza.
