"Mr. Fullbuster?"
Honestly the next person to call him 'Mr. Fullbuster' was gonna get the short end of the stick. Looking up, Gray met eyes with one of the nurses. Holding a clipboard in one hand, she approached him.
"Miss Lockser, has been moved to her own room, if you would like, you may go visit her now."
Gray was already on his feet by the time she had finished talking. Startled by the sudden movement, Lucy too had snapped awake and was now standing.
"Woah, wait, what?" she mumbled, her voice coated with exhaustion.
Ignoring his friend Gray approached the nurse. Lowering his head so that they were eye to eye, he glared at her as menacingly as he could.
"Where. Is. She?" he hissed, he saw her wince as his breath fanned her face.
"Fourth floor, r-room number thirteen. She's still unconscious, b-but you're allowed to go sit up there if you'd like." she stuttered, her calm composure withering. He gave her a curt nod, then walked back towards where he and Lucy had been seated.
"Gray, did she just give you a room number?"
He nodded.
"Lucy, you mind waiting here for Gajeel to show?"
He saw her hesitate. It's not that Gajeel wouldn't be able to find out the room number on his own, Gray just wanted to see his girlfriend by himself. He needed a few moments of solitude. He saw in her eyes, that she understood, even before she gave him a small nod.
"Sure, text me if anything happens though."
Gray smiled, or at least tried to.
"You got it."
There it was! The damned hospital! Gajeel nearly burst with joy. His breaths fogged up in front of him. Despite the cold, his face flamed, all that running, he must be pretty out of shape. Remembering his abs, he dismissed the thought.
Despite it being nearly noon, it was still dark out, heavy clouds blocking out all sunlight. He wouldn't be surprised if it began to snow. Finally able to breathe without his lungs burning, Gajeel picked up the pace once more, running that final stretch to the hospital.

Standing outside the closed door, Gray took in a deep breath. Then another. He wasn't sure if he was prepared to see what was behind that door, especially after what the doctor said. Images of Juvia's body; bruised, bloodied, even severed, flashed in his mind. He shook his head firmly. No. He reached for the door, hands shaking. Grasping the cold knob, he turned it downwards. The door clicked, as opened the door and stepped inside.
