…Chapter Begins ….
Gray wanted to dunk himself in a frosted pool. It was a wish actually. Sleeping in a heated room was not his style in living.
After he had his dinner with Natsu, they wanted to call it a day and sleep, but when Gray opened the Air Conditioner, Natsu opposed. It was too much for Natsu to bear.
Natsu didn't like the cold and Gray didn't take the heat so they came up with a persuasive solution for both of them after all the punches, insults, and kicks. They adjusted the temperature to medium so it was neither too cold nor too hot. Now that applies to most of the people except for Gray. He was raised in a very cold country and certainly what Natsu was doing to him was taking its toll on the poor black-haired who was sweating massively plus being forced to sleep Just in his boxers while Natsu looked so content.
He almost screamed in his pillow from the amount of suffering he was stuck in.
'Damn you Natsu.'
Gray shifted his Face to Natsu's direction and saw him sleeping soundly with his chest steadily rising up and down and his fingers curled unconsciously. He huffed and stood up going outside the room. Gray went to the kitchen and opened the freezer of the fridge wondering what would it be like if he buried his head inside, However, instead of doing such a foolish act that might keep him in bed for eternity, he just enjoyed the cold vapor brushing his heated skin.
Gray snatched one of the ice-cream cups he was storing in his freezer and proceeded with the plan. If he can't open the Air Conditioner and satisfy his body need, then he would do it another way.
He unwrapped the cup from the sleazy packaging and took the plastic spoon attached to it as he leaned on the counter, savoring the taste of his Green-Tea ice-cream. It made him feel better.
"Hm. enjoying your time?"
Gray jumped from the voice. The lights were only turned on in the opened kitchen in living room, so Gray could only see a hint of pink.
"Weren't you sleeping?"
"I was, but your necklace kept ringing in my ears and woke me up."
"Ha…?"
Natsu sat on the stool leaning on the counter. "Well. Aren't you gonna treat me too?"
Gray raised his eye-brow with a hint of irony. "What? You want ice-cream salamander?"
Natsu frowned. "I like Ice-Cream, but not now thanks. I want milk."
Gray spoke with the spoon in his mouth. "Oh really?"
Natsu smiled. "Yes. Warm milk please."
Gray kept smiling for a minute before he punches Natsu hardly on the head. "Oww! That was uncalled for! What did I do?"
"Do you think that I'm your mama? Move your butt and do it yourself."
Natsu grumbled. "But up to know you've been doing all the meals…."
"So what? I did it because I wanted to feed myself in the first place."
Natsu kept his frown and went to the fridge, searching for the milk. "Where do I find a pot?"
"Over there."
They exchanged places so that Gray was sitting on the stool and Natsu struggling in the kitchen, searching for the components of the task. Gray had a smirk on his face and would grunt sometimes.
Natsu finished and phew-ed thanking his God that he didn't cause any disasters in the kitchen at midnight and stood sipping from the glass of milk while Gray was already eating Ice-Cream from a second Cup.
Natsu was leaning on the counter not finding anything to do except for analyzing Gray. He was….. Many things. Rough, cold, stern but laid back in a way, pissy and…. Naked… only wearing boxers. Natsu grunted after swallowing his milk, looking at the black-haired. Natsu never met someone in his life that would easily discard his clothes in front of any stranger or even a friend. What kind of a stupid and perverted habit was that?
Gray stopped eating when he saw Natsu's eyes on him. He raised an eye-brow and asked, "Something wrong Momo?"
"No. Don't call me that."
"So why are you looking at me?"
"Hmm. I was just thanking God that you don't have kids."
"…."
"You would've corrupted them."
"What?"
"Where are your clothes?" Natsu raised his pink eye-brow in response to Gray's question.
"It's hot. And I don't have to explain myself to you."
"Ok." Natsu averted his gaze elsewhere while drinking the rest of his milk. "So….. What would I tell everyone tomorrow?"
Gray paused eating for a while then continued, enjoying the flavor. "You don't have to tell them anything. You'll go to our master and the handsome faces tomorrow and explain yourself."
"And you think they will believe me easily?"
"That depends. Master and Mirajane can see if someone is lying."
Natsu took a sip from his drink. "You think I am lying?"
"No. I saw everything with my own eyes, so you have to be as persuasive as you were with me."
Natsu rolled his eyes and sighed.
"By the way, I'm going on a task tomorrow. Can you take care of yourself?"
"Am I your child? Why can't I come with you? I'm willing to help."
Gray thought about it for a while then nodded. "Alright. Loki isn't going to help me tomorrow so you can come."
Natsu's eyes gleamed with hope. "Really?"
"Yeah, but after Master has a talk with you and…. Tomorrow's task is…. Annoying actually."
"W-why?"
"Because we will be taking a truck full of gold and transferring that Gold into the city center with Phantom Lord."
"Phantom Lord? What's that?"
"Haha. I really like that dumbfounded look on your face Natsu."
"It's not my fault that I don't live here!"
"Ok ok. Phantom Lord is our rival. They have a bar just like us and a master called Jose. They are bastards and they have no such thing called ethics. We were involved with them in many fights, beat their asses mercilessly, but sometimes they had to go through dirty tricks to beat ours so…. We hate them and they hate us."
Natsu sat on the stool and rested his cheek on his palm. "Hmmm… Then why are we going to be working with them tomorrow?"
Gray went to put the cup in the garbage and faced Natsu from inside. "Good question. It's because when we are rivals, we keep…. Destroying things and the higher-ups are not happy with it so Master thought that this could be a good way of…. Getting along?"
Natsu snickered. "I have a feeling that you are not convinced by this idea."
"Yes. I loathe them, but we can't send our girls employees instead and everyone is busy so…. It ended up with me."
Natsu grunted. "Then I will help you tomorrow... if I got to stay…"
"One last thing…."
"What?"
"Don't let them get onto your nerves. They will try to do anything to have a fight."
"Hell YEAH! We'll give them what they deserve!"
"NATSU! It's meant for getting along. What part of it don't you understand?"
Natsu sheepishly smiled and went inside the room to sleep followed by Gray who was shocked from the temperature of the room. "Holy…. Why is it so cold?"
"Well… after I got out, I opened the air conditioner so that it'll make the room cool for you. I am kind, right?"
Gray's eyes were already gleaming with joy from behind while ruffling his hair. "Arigatou Natsu!"
Gray didn't get to see Natsu's dark red cheeks…..
"Let go idiot!"
The bar was lively in the morning. Mirajane was preparing drinks for the people in the bar while Lucy was preparing her stuff along with Virgo her assistant to go to her task with Loki. Cana and Macao Conbolt, a Fairy Tail member too, were in a drinking contest and too focused in their competition to notice anything or to pay attention.
When two people arrived, the Bar almost instantly fell silent… so silent that if someone threw a pin, it'd make a terrible Echo.
The master of the Bar sighed and was the first one to talk. "Hello Gray…. And Momo."
Natsu blushed feeling incredible embarrassment and almost wanted to hide himself behind Gray.
"Master we-"
"—Gray. Follow me."
Gray was cut short when he wanted to talk and defend Natsu.
Natsu looked at Lucy who averted her gaze to her boots and he considered that as a complete rejection from her who he has developed some connection with. In contrary to Gray, she was much better…. Communication wise, and now he felt absolute ignorance from the blond.
'Crap…..'
After half an hour of complete silence in the fairy tail bar, everyone directed their attention to the footsteps coming from the stairs. Gray, Natsu, and their Master were finished and they waited for their Master to clarify the whole situation for them. Was Momo a friend? Or an enemy?
Erze put her hand on her sword which was always with her. It was a habit. Learning everything involved swords and armors. She was prepared to chop the idiot's head off if he was playing some sort of a sick game with them. Nothing irritated Erza more than being betrayed while Mirajane's face was clouded with worry.
"My sons and daughters in Fairy Tail."
Everyone was preparing themselves for their Master's next words.
"I've listened to NA—Momo's explanation and…." With a swift motion, Makarov removed Natsu's T-shirt, making the boy's cheeks flush with embarrassment and earning a huge gasp from the audience.
"Oh my…."
"Is that…."
Yes. It was on Natsu's right shoulder.
"From now on, Na-Ah no…. Momo will be a member in this Bar." A red fairy emblem was on Natsu's shoulder making the surrounding members stare in awe.
"Momo has proven to me that he deserves this valuable mark. And you all know what this means right?" They was still in their shock, but eventually smiled after releasing a relieved sigh.
"Momo Now is your family. And what happens if a member in the family was in danger?"
Mirajane smiled sweetly. "We protect him with our lives."
Makarov nodded and Erza let her sword be on her waist as her glare faded.
Natsu quickly wore the white and orange t-shirt over his jeans as everyone laughed at how clumsy he looked.
"A new member!" A little girl called Wendy jumped up and down from excitement while others exchanged whispers of amusement about the new member.
"Everyone. Momo would like to tell you something before he is officially a member."
Natsu took a deep breath. "My name is Natsu Dragneel. I will only say this once, forget the name as if you didn't hear me. All of you please call me whatever you want like what you've been doing until now. By being a part from this bar, I'm exposing you to a great danger, but…. I will do everything I can to protect you all. I'm really sorry."
Lucy smiled and went forward to ruffle Natsu's hair. "Didn't I tell you that you are very sweet?" Everyone cheered with drinks for the plus member. Natsu never did have a family, and certainly he didn't wish to expose if he had any, to danger. Although he regretted doing what Makarov forced him into, he felt incredible warmth leaking into his body. "Family eh…"
"What kind of fucking family are you?"
"Is this how you thank someone who saved your ass?"
"GAH! I swear I will make you pay!"
Gray ran after Natsu who went and ran around the coffee table followed by Gray who was determining on crushing Natsu's head. Currently Gray had a bruised arm and injured lower lip in addition to other minor scratched here and there. Natsu was in a bad shape too, but not as bad as Gray.
When they went on their 'getting along-with-Phantom Lord' task while delivering the Gold, Natsu mysteriously was almost going to vomit through the whole ride from the outskirts to the city central which pushed the Phantom Lord members to mock the pink-haired, and think that they had the upper-hand in the mission.
When they were moving the Gold, one of them tried to attack Gray, but Natsu came like a bull and hit the man senselessly making a big fight to happen between the 'two' members of Fairy Tail and 'Thirty' members of Phantom Lord which caused….. 'The loss of his clients' money and so went Gray's money of feeding himself.
"Hey! Stop attacking me! They started it!"
"You could've warned me! Just WARNED me!"
"He deserved it."
"NATSU!"
The pink-haired kept running and Gray chasing him. Their sight was rivaling tom chasing down jerry the mouse. "Stop WHERE you are! Accept your fate!"
"The hell I am going to do that! My fate in not GETTING killed by you!"
Gray couldn't stand it and growled. "Get. Out. Of. My. House. Before I tear you into small pieces of meat ball!"
"Gray calm do-"
"Get out!"
Natsu admitted that he screwed up, but wasn't Gray overreacting? Anyways Natsu wasn't going to go in Gray's direction to get out of the apartment, instead, he ran to the bedroom and opened the window and jumped from it. Gray slapped his forehead and bit his bruised lower lip.
Gray also knew that his head would've been completely crushed by the metal pipe if Natsu didn't defend him, but the idiot took it way too far. The black-haired didn't stand looking at Natsu. If he did, he'll just get hostile ideas towards the newly joined member of his bar.
Lucy was relaxing in her bed, writing in her precious diary the new events of the day and mostly centered on a certain pink-haired. Her mug of green tea was on her chest of drawers near the bed. Lucy was perfectly content even when she held the hot green tea to take few sips.
SLAM!
Lucy spilled the Green tea on her hair and growled in disgust.
"YO! Lucy!"
Lucy cursed and quickly took her diary away from spilled drink.
"NATSU! How could you do this to me? How the hell did you get through the window?"
The pink-haired grinned sheepishly and sneaked into the room. "Hehe….. sorry."
Lucy sighed and went to clean her hair in the bathroom.
Natsu sat on her fluffy and super-comfy waiting for the blonde to finish.
"Natsu, what happened?"
"Oh nothing. I screwed up in the mission with Gray and now he is super mad at me."
"Hehe…. Looks like you are a bad luck in missions!" Lucy said laughing.
"Hey! I didn't do anything wrong!"
"Sure sure. Why did you come here then?"
Natsu sighed. "I wanted to ask if I can stay here for the night."
Lucy nervously smiled. Natsu was a friend, but a guy friend. She wasn't so sure.
"Please Lucy! Please!"
On the second thought, she couldn't just watch natsu sleep on the streets.
"Fine!"
"Thank you!"
he hugged the girl who kept pushing his heavy body away.
"On the floor you sleep!"
"Eeeeeeeh? I like your bed!"
"Idiot! That's for me. Here. Take this."
She gave him a pillow and blanket and led him to sleep on the couch. It wasn't so comfortable, but it was better than the street anyway.
In the next day, Natsu tried speaking with Gray, but the Raven pushed him away, ignoring him with every fiber in his body. Lucy was going on a mission with Loki and Gray and so Natsu was left alone in the bar with plue, Lucy's….. Dog/creature/insect. He couldn't tell the difference at all, and to make it worse, almost all of the members of Fairy Tail were out on tasks except for Natsu, Mirajane, Cana, the master, and some other employees who were there just to serve people.
Natsu huffed while looking at the hairless/featherless creature with the long yellow nose.
"It's just you and me huh…" The small creature nodded while trembling at Natsu….
Natsu didn't find himself useful at all since he became a member in The Fairy Tail bar. It looked like he was just getting in the way of the people's working. Like what he did to Gray.
Natsu tried to talk to Gray the day after, but sadly it ended up dramatically after Natsu accidently spilled the drink on the deep blue-eyed male who was pissed, but didn't try to talk or even initiate a fight with Natsu. He just glared and got out of the bar, slamming it shut.
Natsu secretly climbed up to Gray's apartment when he knew that it was time for Gray to get showered, and took the opportunity to gather his so-called clothes and leave. He would pay the bastard back when he goes on a Job alone, however, in the time being, he looked totally disappointed when sitting on the couch at Lucy's home, hugging Plue who was sleeping on his chest. Gray was a big bastard. Natsu was just trying to protect him, and that how he pays him back?
Natsu's emotions bubbled up in his chest making his breath become heavier and tighter that any time in his life. He didn't even know why he was disappointed. He was finally getting rid of the sleazy idiot that was always good for nothing except for being naked all the time.
Lucy was sitting on the bed, watching Natsu, with a worrying face.
It was the sixth day that Gray ignores Natsu completely. Natsu didn't try to talk to Gray or even to come in five meters Radius near the blue-eyed. He was taking his time to know everyone in the bar, and he even developed small relationships with some people.
Natsu went twice in missions, but failed due to his temper Issues which was expected from a guy who recently got employed. Makarov laughed at him every single time and Natsu tried to hit the old man and step on him, but in reality Natsu was always losing against Makarov.
There were many distractions; however, something which is not compensable made a huge void in Natsu's heart. With that thought, Natsu went out for a walk. At least he would watch the sunset peacefully.
A scream interrupted his thoughts and made him run quickly to the source.
"Stand still kid!" Natsu's eyes widened when he saw three men abusing a small boy, in fact, Natsu could make out the tiny figure. It was Romeo, the son of Macao Conbolt.
"Oi…."
The three men turned their attention to the pink-haired who hissed at them with great rage.
"Let him go."
"N-Natsu-nii!"
"Huh? You know him boy?" the man asked Romeo who was tearing up.
"Oooh! Brother! Wasn't that the guy who was with Gray in the Gold mission?"
Natsu gritted his teeth. They were the same guys who tried to attack Gray.
Phantom Lord.
"Wow! Isn't that a good a timing?"
Natsu couldn't move a muscle. If he did, who knows what those bastards will do to Romeo.
"Oi Nii-san. If you wanted this kid to be alive, you better join us here." The man licked his lips making Natsu glare in disgust.
"No! Natsu-nii! Go away!"
Natsu smirked and stood in front of them putting his hands in his pockets carelessly. "Let's see what you can do. Scum." Natsu laughed wildly at them.
The man were provoked enough to launch at Natsu giving him several punches.
"Hehe. Not even a warming up. You guys are no big deal!"
Gray went straight to his house after he finished the job, along with loki who decided to be with Gray for a while. Loki had noticed Gray's attitude ever since that fight with the pink-haired idiot. And Gray was too depressed to be alone so loki wanted to accompany the raven.
They wanted to watch a new movie and brought snacks with them. Gray barely agreed, but went to shower first while loki was looking into his lovely perverted magazines, drooling every now and then.
After 15 minutes, Gray got out straight to the kitchen snatching a cold drink for himself.
"You are dozing off again." Loki said while flipping the page of the heavenly magazine.
"That's none of your concern." Gray frowned.
"Hmm… if you want to talk to him so much, why don't you just do it?"
"Talk to whom?"
"Don't play the oblivious ass with Gray. You know who I am talking about."
"No I don't."
"Yes you do."
Gray growled and threw a spoon at loki's head.
"HEY!" Loki whined from the pain and before Gray could say a word….
"GRAY!"
The blue-eyed looked at Lucy who was panting while standing on his threshold.
Damn. He forgot to lock his apartment's door.
"NATSU….. NATSU IS…."
The sight which Gray saw in the second floor in the bar was cruel to unknown limits. Natsu was on a bed, and he was unconscious, full of wounds and bruises and Mirajane's tears was running uncontrollably.
"Natsu-nii…. He was just trying to protect me…." Romeo the small boy sobbed on Natsu's chest.
Gray's world was frozen the moment he saw the miserable shape of his…. Apartment partner lying down, barely breathing.
Makarov and Erza boldly stood with angry expressions that promised sweet payback. Every inch in Natsu's body seemed to be stricken with force.
"Who….. w-when…."
"They were Phantom Lord Gray. Not only had they hurt Natsu, but also my son."
"Please go out now… I need to treat him quickly…" Mira hardly spoke. The others nodded slowly and went out of the room, dragging the dumbfounded Gray with them.
Natsu opened his eyes hardly and was greeted by darkness. The boy felt so cold and shivered while trying to open his eyes again for a better view. A blurry vision was all what he could see. When he tried to move his hands to rub his eyes, he felt a searing pain running through his arm. Natsu wasn't about to give up. He moved his arm hardly and rubbed his eyes. As soon as he focused, he was shocked. Why the hell was he in Gray's room?
Natsu wanted to shook his head, but weren't able to…. What was this terrible ach? He felt like he was stepped on by a numerous numbers of elephants. The boy pushed his body to sit and after he did, he panted while looking to the….
…
….
….
Holy shit! The mirror!
The shock pushed him to get up and lean on the mirror which was reflecting him. His hands were bandaged and his left leg was too. While he was just wearing a shirt that stopped at his mid-thigh, and his hair…. His pink hair was cut short, very short. It was barely hovering over the back of his neck and his bangs were too short, only resting above his pink eye-brows. Damn… his hair looked more spiked up than ever before although it was nicely cut short.
What the hell happened to him?
He tried to remember while trying to limp out of the room to leave Gray's apartment. He stopped and watched the corridor. It was all clear so he slowly limped out, Careful not to make any sound.
His back hurt him like hell and he couldn't believe how pathetic he felt.
Natsu didn't see the shadow which was behind him directly.
"Going somewhere turtle?"
Natsu Froze.
"I think you look so much better now huh?" The person smacked Natsu on the back, trying to prove that he is right.
The pink-haired tried not to scream while the murderous pain kept roaming in his back until it reached his neck and finally it moved his pink hair. Natsu kept shutting his mouth tightly, but two droplets of tears were formed in his eyes and finally he collapsed on the floor.
"Ah…. That… hurts…."
Natsu quietly said as he tried his best not to squirm from the pain.
The pink-haired was on the floor on his stomach while his eyes corners held unshed tears. The tears of agony as Natsu defined them. The boy looked pathetic, but somehow he defeated the perverted magazines' models and their sinful pictures with an innocent pose.
The long shirt exposed his legs and part of his thighs, uncovering the red-tanned skin. A feature that was unique about Natsu and his face looked more beautiful with his newly cut hair. The shadow, Gray, tried his best not to hurry in helping the child-like boy and to cover the red that was threatening his face.
Natsu looked from the corner of his eyes to find the raven who couldn't speak with for almost a week. It was the first time that Gray tries to talk to him directly anyway, and this made him want to release his tears, but he hardly contained them biting his lips. Natsu used the remaining of his strength after the asshole's hit and tried his best to get up. Gray's inner part was telling him to help Natsu, but he stood still silently watching as the boy tried to lean on the wall for support.
"Does it matter to you where I am going….? Bastard."
Gray rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "At this stage, yes. You might disturb people's sight when you are 'walking'."
It was a total lie, but he wasn't going to say 'You need to rest' or any other compassionate sentences.
Natsu gritted his teeth and when he quickly turned around to burn Gray and to make humanity get rid of him, his legs betrayed him and was almost going to fall.
Gray couldn't take seeing Natsu fall again and suffer a torturing pain so he quickly caught him, arms circling his waist.
He was now closely face to face with Gray who had a blank look on his eyes. "Natsu. Stay here until you recover."
Natsu's eyes widened when Gray pulled his head to the Raven's chest so that Natsu was glued to the dark-blue 'Fairy Tail' Emblem on Gray's chest.
Since when Gray was that warm? Natsu wondered while hearing the vast change of Gray's heart beats. The pink-haired couldn't believe it. He hasn't been in touch with Gray with almost a week and it agonized him for some despicable reason, but now when he was in the deeper embrace of the other, he felt over-joyed, forgetting about his pains. Gray scent was one of the best scents he has ever smelled in his life and the feel of his skin under Natsu's cheeks… it was all too heavenly for Natsu and could've been like that if Natsu didn't remember.
THWACK!
Gray held his stomach in pain. "OI NATSU! I WILL KILL YOU!"
Natsu had punched him hard in the stomach.
"…"
Gray looked to the short pink-haired who frantically wiped his tears away while trying to stand still away from Gray.
"I won't Stay here…. I don't want to become a burden again…"
Gray tried to rub away the pain.
"Huh?... w-what kind of burden you are talking about?"
"I'm always standing in y-your way…. I don't want to be like that anymore."
"Natsu! Cut the crap! Who told you that you are a burden to me?"
Natsu closed eyes and wiped it. "You."
"Eh?"
"You were pushing me away the past six days too harshly and do you expect me now to come and stay with you here as if nothing has happened? Thank you I have my pride with me. I didn't lose it yet."
"What if I said that I am sorry?"
"….." Natsu's eyes widened.
"I'm sorry for ignoring you. I was just angry that you couldn't deal with your temper…. But… I shouldn't have acted that way."
"W-what are you-"
"I'm sorry so…. You can come and live with me here again until you settle somewhere."
Natsu stood silent for a moment then he yelled. "BASTARD!"
Gray smiled. "Come on. Let's get you to bed."
Natsu shifted his face away to hide his red flared cheeks which Gray was fond of with Natsu's new look.
He supported Natsu until he led him to the room back to his now fixed bed. When Natsu settled down, Gray patted his hair and said, "Sorry about your hair…. It had some paint on it from the street so Mira had to cut it."
Natsu slapped his hand. "It'll grow again; it's not a big deal."
"Well then, I will be going out and will come back soon. Make sure you rest."
"…."
"Later then."
Gray got out of the apartment and went to the bar where everyone was waiting.
"Ready Gray?" Erza asked.
"I'm more than that."
When Gray turned, the whole Bar was behind him, and standing next to him were Lucy, Makarov, Erza and Mirajane.
"To Phantom Lord then."
