Story Title: Gentle Summer Breeze
Rated: T
Pairings: NatsuXGray
Warnings: Swearing "Bad language", AU, Shonen Ai….. (You can call it Yaoi, BL, Anything you want. So please, if you are not a fan of it, you've been warned.)
I'll try to keep them in character as much as I can.
And finally, I don't Own Fairy tail. Or it's characters. This is just a fanfic that meant to be for entertainment.
…Chapter Begins ….
Everyone in the fairy Tail bar has been talking about something called the depth of vision. Yes. And guess what? I don't understand what that shit means so I went to ask Lucy and guess what?
"NATSU-MOMO! Let me explain to you what a depth of vision means. For example, you went on a mission and a client slaps you on the butt. What do you do? You have two choices. Either you smile and back away and take the whole income and be happy, buy anything you want and live like humans, kill the bastard afterwards, or decide to beat the shit out of him and take nothing but trouble and misery."
Ok. That's HER depth of vision. Let me explain mine.
I got slapped on the butt, I hit the shit out of the man, the man gets retarded, I get so happy, my dignity is saved and everything is cool.
NOT. In Lucy's Depth of vision.
I, by all means, can't stand living in such a sleazy society. No one stand up for themselves for the sake of a crappy request. How lame is that? Let's say I'm wrong.
In the same moment Lucy was giving me this piece of advice, a man entered asking for a drink, so she immediately acted all polite and went to get him the drink, and when she returned, the man told her, "Nice ass!" and the next thing he groped her. Guess WHAT?
SLAP!
Hell YEAH! That's what she did, so why should I be any different? I mean, no one touched my butt before, but if it did happen… the person will be burned to the ground. Where did those good days go? Back in Magnolia, there was no such thing as requests/JOB, it was all about survival.
Meaning I got to beat whoever I want wherever I want and whenever I WANT. No limits or constrains that this CRAPPY place has.
Living in Magnolia in Fiorie didn't have any rules except for being strong and being wild. It was no place for wimps I tell you that. I needed no money unless I want to buy a magical tool which I didn't need because I'm a 'fire' mage. I don't need these useless tools which were made for weaklings.
My dad and I had the most wonderful life there until that monster Zeref decided to ruin it for me! I didn't have to worry about anything until one man changed my life into living HELL.
GRAY FULLBUSTER.
I was gonna heal as fast as possible, faster than normal human beings. I'm a salamander for god sake! But no. Gray decided that he needs to be all heroic and save me which led me to the following conclusion:
A- I needed money to pay him back the clothes he brought for me.
B- I NEEDED money to pay him back the food and place he was providing for me.
C- Natsu Dragneel NEEDED money.
So what did I do when that depth of vision got into me? I had to go on missions so that my pride will be saved and I'll return my dept, then I can move out and go magnolia and be happy as I were always.
So when I got 'rational' enough as Lucy defined it, I went with the dick and Lucy on a very easy request, however, a guy named 'Sho', a friend of Erza, decided that he wants to have a one night stand with me.
Slapping a butt and kissing is nothing compared to having sex in order to get the income, so what did I do?
The 'rational' response is to kick that man's 'Lower' area so hard that he won't be able to have sex again in his life, however, Lucy's rational response would be politely declining the 'offer'. Tempting offer that is.
I decided to go with Lucy's logic and decline the man politely.
Hey, I'm not sayin' that this is the best a person can do. I did this because I felt needy for a moment when that bastard's lips touched mine, but again my mind knocked some sense into me. I mean, I can't have sex!
When my father offered me the great power of fire magic, I became at a higher level than most humans are. I needed a strong companion 'which doesn't exist' because there are no more dragon fire mages in Magnolia or this crappy world. I'd BURN my lover male/female for sex's sake.
Now here is the thing. A bastard fire mage, will take a human, feed his need and doesn't mind if whatsoever happened to the human which is called 'rape' in this world, In contrary to a good/kind fire mage, also known as ME. I won't do that. No.
So what if I can't hug, kiss, or have any strong passion towards anyone? It's not a fucking must, plus, I don't have a normal being in my life to love. Love is for the weak.
UGH. My head hurts.
So after explaining that to the guy 'who looked understandable to my condition' I went back to Lucy. I found her laughing like a witch and telling me to have a good luck. Good luck with WHAT?
Not only that, but also…..
"I advise you to stay away from Gray for the time being." What the hell? What did I do to that idiot?
When I ignored the advice and went to see where Gray was, I found him sitting and throwing some rocks into a lake and leaving me doing all the job. Suddenly he stood and started throwing them hard and fast, like with so much passion. Strange passion I might add.
"What are you doing?" I could see him abruptly stand and turn facing me. He had a murderous glare on his face which didn't affect one bit on me. So again he decided to act like a dick.
"… Throwing rocks into the lake. Why?"
"Oh isn't that so relaxing? You are throwing rocks."
"Yes I'm."
I swear Gray is the only one that makes my flames itch to just burst out through my body.
"I'm giving you a private time so that you can do whatever you're doing with that guy."
Whoa wait. What the-?
"What private time?"
"Never mind."
He turned and punched a tree mumbling something that I couldn't hear.
"Were you spying on me Gray?"
I could tell that he crushed his hand bones because he just froze while sweating. Poor idiot.
"Hell yeah! And you did a good job, allowing some random guy to molest you!"
"Hmm. Let me backfire this on you. Weren't you the one who told me to act politely? What did you want me to do? To burn him?"
"No. I told you to enjoy it as if there was no tomorrow!"
"Hey! What's your point? I didn't enjoy it! I pushed him away!"
"After you enjoyed it!"
"I don't see your business with me enjoying it or not!"
Gray glared more, trying to burn a hole in my head.
"I don't understand what that red-tailed idiot 'dad' of yours taught you in your life."
"That's off red-lines Gray! My dad taught me everything, in contrary to the sleazy bastard who taught you how to get naked every five seconds!"
"NATSU!" that was Lucy's voice. Damn.
She didn't stop that weird habit of her.
Eavesdropping Maniac!
I got the feeling that I said something so wrong so that she made me discover her. Yes, and that was when I saw Gray's eyes filled with wild rage. Without any time to waste, Gray punched me so hard in the face with the same hand he punched the tree which was for sure broken. It HURT A LOT!
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?" I shouted. When I looked back at him holding my totally bruised cheek, all I could see in his eyes, was sorrow. He turned his back and walked away.
"AWW! LUCY! THAT HURTS!"
Lucy went to get me some Ice to put on my cheek. Damn. It did hurt a lot and I could swear that she was doing that deliberately to hurt me more.
"God NATSU. Could you be more stupid than you already are?"
"Hey! He started it first!"
"It doesn't fucking matter who started it idiot! Those words shouldn't have left your mouth."
"But….."
She gave me a death glare, maybe more affective than Erza's to shut me up. "Don't you know that everyone in fairy tail has a very dark and sorrowful past? EVERYONE! That makes Gray no different!"
"But I don't understand-"
"That sleazy bastard you were talking about is Gray's mother! And she died when Gray was 11 Years old! Hell! She wasn't even his mother! She adopted him when he was randomly stealing people for living."
"…"
"He didn't even get to know his real parents! And here you are adding the salt on his widely open wound."
Darn it. I got the feeling that I'm in deep trouble and that explains why didn't I see anything in his mind when I was trying to discover what type of magic he has. I know the feeling of losing someone so dear and I just insulted Gray's dear someone…..
Darn it. I'm a bitch.
Lucy was mad, like the issue and the insult is being directed to her. "Gray….. Was just….. Jealous, but you took it so far."
"Jealous from what?"
"I won't be telling you, and even if I did, that thick skull of yours won't be able to process the data."
"….."
"You have to go and apologize."
WHOA! Pull the brakes woman!
"Me? APOLOGIZING? Are you outta your mind? I don't apologize!" I was rewarded with a smack on the head.
"Don't give me that shit NATSU! You have to go now and apologize or I swear I will tell Erza and then she can have her way with you."
"No Lucy you don't understand! I can't apologize. It's not something a man can easily do unless he is feeling terribly-"
"I Don't care! You go there now! Or don't you feel guilty?"
"I admit that I feel a little guilty, but so what? He insulted my 'dead' father."
"…." She froze. Oh right. She didn't hear that piece of information before.
"And guess what? He knew that my father is dead. But I didn't know anything about him or his mother."
Lucy released a heavy sigh. "I'm sorry Natsu….. But believe me… what you said… is hurting Gray so much now. I won't tell you to do anything, but… think about it okay?"
I grunted while holding myself from burning the whole house from anger. As if she was sensing that, she smiled softly and kissed my forehead. Yeah I was pathetic to her.
"I'm sorry about your father Natsu."
Apologize. That dreaded Verb. How on earth people do that?
After a long thinking I decided to leave the ice-pack and go to the bastard to apologize. I did take things a little far, so I had to APOLOGIZE. DAMN.
I found that idiot sulking near the barn on a rock. I thought immediately that it was a bad idea and when I decided to go back, my two angels appeared on either sides of my shoulders. One evil and one pure.
"Don't go fucking apologize! Will you ever be considered as a man after you do this? He deserves it!"
"Natsu. You are better than him. If you apologized, you'll earn more respect from the bastard if anything. Be a man!"
"Shut up moron! How the hell do you want him to be a man after he's going to apologize?"
"Oh quit corrupting his mind you dick! Look how he broke the man's heart!"
I'll tell you both what. Just disappear!
God that's a headache. Ok. I'm going to apologize and get this over with.
So I walked immediately behind Gray and decided to say the dreaded words.
"OI Bastard—Ah!" I looked behind to find Lucy standing behind a tree with a pile of stones in one of her hands and the other hand was playing with a stone, raising it up and down.
Damn. She was fucking watching and threating me!
Gray instantly looked back with a glare. "Ah Ah Ah….. I mean…. Ahem, that's the sound of my heart. It is in pain."
They guy looked like he was going to freeze me if he got the chance and when he turned, Lucy threw another stone which hit my head again!
This is humiliation!
I cooled down and breathed in and out. "Listen Gray. I never meant to…. Insult anyone important to you….. I did it because you were acting like an asshole back then."
AWW! I SWEAR I will take revenge on Lucy after this ends! My head was throbbing blood on my eyes already!
"Oh. Okay Natsu. I forgive you." I could clearly sense the sarcasm in his voice.
Damn. How do people apologize? "I'M TRYING my best here. What do you wanna me to say? Sorry Gray that I insulted everything dear to you. I'll never do it again. I swear on my honor-"
"JUST SHUT UP!"
My mouth was zipped when he stood up and gave me a fierce growl that was capable of making me actually a little afraid of him, however, I only said one thing, "Okay."
"Your apology sucks alright? I don't need it! Just fuck off! Do whatever you want and leave me!"
Good thing I wanted to do too. I thought it was a bad idea from the beginning. I started walking away, however, I saw Lucy holding two big stones, ready to bury me with them, so I panicked while trying to mouth the words 'Are-you-outta-your-mind?'
She only smirked and mouthed the words, 'HELL-YEAH!' Back to me to I immediately turned to gray who was going to sit back again and hugged him from behind.
The world seemed to stop when I realized what I've done. Ah god god god!
"…." And the bastard didn't have anything to say too! Why did I hug him?
UGH! LUCY!
"Ermm…" maybe I was trying to say 'OH PLEASE SAVE ME FROM THE MANIAC THAT IS TRYING TO KILL ME!' But it came out like this:
"I'm sorry. Don't be mad."
Fear can do unexpected stuff.
He shoved me away. "Natsu, what you said, I forgive you for it. I understand that I provoked you first-"
"Lucy told me that you are Jealous….. From what?"
Oh yeah I think I cornered him and he was right in my Trap.
"JEALOUS? You actually believe Lucy?"
I clicked my tongue in annoyance and rubbed my bruised head. "Nope. Anyway, I'm sorry about your mom." Usually I'm not a comforting type, but I think my charm worked because the idiot smiled.
"Whatever man." He moved his hand to punch my shoulder, but he couldn't and I smirked. "Broken hand?"
"YEP. Looks like it."
Lucy was trying to apply treatment to Gray's broken hand, and I'll tell you, I could feel him suffering for it looked like it hurt as hell. Yep, he deserved it.
"You both are idiots." Lucy was mad.
I couldn't blame her. I admit that Gray has a thick mind. What's his problem with Sho anyway?
Gray thanked Lucy and went out again, but this time it was almost evening. Ha! I wish a wolf come and devour him!
"Natsu nii-chan! Let's play!" Back to the actual request. I gotta take care of those little bastards. Lucy excused herself to make dinner for the children, and I had to of course distract the little monsters until she finishes, not mention holding a baby. What am I? A freakin' Nanny?
I took them out to play and I saw Sho joining Gray in a talk. And I could see Gray not being comfortable with it, but I shrugged and went with the kids.
"Natsu nii-chan! How come you have pink hair and I don't?"
"Listen little girl, when you are older, you'll know why."
"Eeeeh?"
"Natsu-nii-chan, why did Gray-san shout at you?"
"You sneaky little bastard… you were awake?"
"Umm… Yeah…. I saw you calling him names."
"Not your business."
"Tell me tell me!"
"Na-uh. No way."
"Natsu nii-chan no baka!"
"Thanks!"
"Natsu nii-chan, Gray-san seems to be upset…. You have to go apologize."
"Hey kid. No one likes a wise-ass alright? I apologized already so zip it and play with your brother."
"Natsu-nii-chan is so funny!"
I was really trying my best efforts in pushing those kids away, but they kept glued to me no matter what. I wonder what's the big secret?
"I saw Natsu-nii-chan hugging Gray-san! Does Natsu-nii likes Gray?" I almost choked the kid. "What's your name runt?"
"Sai."
"Ok sai listen. Your brother was being under control from a terrible and hideous witch! If I didn't hug Gray, I would've been disappeared by now!"
"HIDEOUS WITCH?" I froze sensing angry vibes lurking from behind and when I turned…..
SLAP!
"IDIOT!"
After the kids ate and were sent to sleep, we adults were able to finally breathe. Lucy was so tired and went to take a shower, leaving me, Sho and Gray on the same table. Nice timing Lucy! Couldn't she just delay her shower a few hours?
It was awkward by all means. I couldn't stand this. Gray was very happy that he saw the guy today morning and now here he is. Glaring into the table wanting to burn a hole in it.
"Well. I'm tired too. Natsu-chi, I'm going to sleep~ goodnight."
I laughed nervously and smacked the guy. "Stop Joking."
Sho sweat-dropped and went to sleep anyway. Great, now it's me and the bastard and the deathly silence. I see that he wasn't ready to talk to me like before yet. I wonder how close he was to his mother.
"You can go sleep and rest if you want. You did a great job."
Right. He was complementing! Ah, can't believe it. "I'm not sleepy yet."
"…. Wanna go out for a walk?"
"…."
"…."
"… Yeah sure…. Why not?" it was getting so freaky.
Maybe he wanted to bury me alive away from all beings—why am I afraid? I'm the salamander!
We went out in the dark walking in the forest like there was nothing to fear. I like this place, it looked like the forest in magnolia where I and my dad used to hunt down and eat.
"Cold much?"
I also admit that it was colder than the one in magnolia. "Hell yeah. It's freezing."
"You can use your fire if you want."
"What if someone sees us idiot?"
He chuckled and seemed to be enjoying this. We sat on the Ground watching the trees and the huge moon that was reflected on the lake. Yep. I like this place.
"UL, My mom….. she taught me how to survive in harsh conditions…. Including the cold."
"…"
"It might sound weird to you, but we used to strip and practice in the freezing weather. It was fun….."
"Define 'fun'."
I breathed and a lot of vapor came out from my mouth. The weather was really cold, but somehow when Gray talked and smiled that sad smile of his, I felt warm, not caring about anything.
I sat close to him and nudged his shoulder playfully. "Keep the past where it is Gray. You have a long way in front of you."
"Pretty damn long."
"Hmm…. You are surprisingly a kind person, I'm sure you'll find someone to fill your Gap. Juvia or what was her name…. she is pretty good y'know."
Gray grunted and rolled his eyes. The infamous fullbuster Glare came straight at me again. "Really Natsu. Stop shitting with me and- Oh! I didn't ask you before."
"What?"
"Do you have Y'know… someone…?"
"Someone?"
"Yeah, someone. Perhaps a girlfriend?"
"Oooooh! Ah I get it! Of course I do! She has this beautiful hair and wonderful eyes and extra big boobs!" the look on his face was priceless! I burst out laughing at his reaction and tears gathered in the corner of my eyes. Boy if you just could see him.
I punched his shoulder in attempt to lighten his tension when he suddenly held my wrist with his bandaged hand. "Really….. Who's she?"
"C-calm down man I was-"
"Tell me!"
What's this? What. Is. This? I don't know how he got so close, and I definitely don't understand why can't I stop getting this weird warm feeling all over my chest.
"I was k-k-kidding!... let go!" I snatched my hand away and tried to calm down my heart. It happened before. This weird feeling which I get when things get so intense with Gray. Why does he care? Why did it look as if it is a matter of death or the opposite? That bastard…
"I don't have anyone…."
"Why not?"
"Not your business."
"You won't tell me?"
"No."
"….Ok."
I swear I could see him half-smile. What's with his mood swings?
"What about you? Why don't you have a girlfriend?"
"…"
"Lucy told me that if you wanted, you can get as many as you want."
"Haha…. Not true.I think It's not necessary to look for one anymore."
"Are you an old man? Why?"
"I think….. I found someone."
I knew it! A guy like him must have someone even if its not his girlfriend.
"Wow! Tell me about her!" I sensed a mocking layer in his chuckle. "She's….. loud, noisy, idiot, but she is very beautiful and very…. Warm. She warmed up my life."
I stayed staring and he stared back. I wasn't able to tear my sight away. Was this person so great like that?
Gray didn't look like a guy who would like any one so easily, in fact, I felt that he is a piece of frozen ice….. but who was able to melt it?
"She…. Must be great."
"Yeah she is."
Damn. Dunno why am I upset right now. Maybe because Gray is the first 'friend' I ever had…. And he was being snatched away by a princess. Oh goodbye days of friendship.
"Um…. I w-wish you luck."
He chuckled and I looked away. Suddenly I felt so sad. I just wanted to go back.
"Um… I'm sleepy."
"Alright. Let's get back."
….. Chapter Ends….
See ya later~!
