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 ….
Natsu was finally blending with the people in the bar very well. He was grinning and smiling more. He went on tasks with Lisanna, Lucy, Erza, Loke, Levy, Macao and generally with other few employees, and that helped him in gaining experience and knowledge. He became more mature and in control when it came to dealing with clients. He gained a good amount of money which he thought it'd pay his dept for Gray and speaking of which… Gray was the opposite.
He became more annoying, angrier, and filled with worries as the days past.
Natsu was just independent now. He didn't need Gray's help in tasks and worse! Natsu was going on tasks more with everyone else except for Gray himself. He seemed to avoid Gray more often, and that made a vein pop in Gray's forehead. He didn't wish for Natsu to be able to pay His dept. He wanted, no, wished, for Natsu to just stay with him and not have this relationship of a banker and a person owing him money.
"Lucy! Let's go together!" Natsu was holding a paper that had a request and Gray just sighed. It was happening again. Each time Natsu holds a request paper and Gray happens to be free, Gray thinks that Natsu for sure will come and yell like an idiot telling him to go with him, that was just a dream now. Natsu will go choosing anyone that wasn't Gray and that made the Raven angry and sad to no limits.
What is it with Natsu?
He was…. Ignoring him with every possible way. Gray even wondered if he did anything wrong to the pink-haired, but he couldn't find anything in his mind.
"Gray…."
Gray flinched and looked up from his seat to see a very concerned Mirajane.
"Something wrong? Y-you don't look fine…." T
he raven shook his head slowly and looked to his glass.
"It's happening again…. Gray d-did you talk to him?"
Talk to him? Will that even work? The idiot came everyday late at night when Gray would be sleeping and the raven did only see him in his house on breakfast and sometimes he will not….. And in the bar when he was choosing a mission to go to.
Natsu Dragneel was officially getting on Gray's nerves. "No… I didn't."
Mira seemed to be the only one noticing the difference between Natsu and Gray's relationship from the past and present since she was only standing behind the bar watching and observing the surroundings. It was a different angle of view and it showed her the gaps clearly. "I wonder what's wrong with Natsu….." She said pouring another drink for Gray who simply glared.
"It doesn't matter to me."
"Natsu, you are coming with me tomorrow on a fucking mission."
"W-WHAT? I-I Can't!" Natsu was going to sleep when Gray mumbled these words lying down on the floor.
"Hmm…. Why not?"
"…"
Gray knew that Natsu was searching for an excuse and perhaps a lie.
"I'm going with Lucy tomorrow."
"Liar. I talked with Lucy today and she told me you have no promises with her tomorrow."
That's it! That was the face that Gray wanted to see. The pure shock, the guilt of lying and above it all, the fear.
"You're going. End of story."
Gray huffed and turned his back to Natsu who didn't have anything to say.
Natsu was sick the entire ride. Gray told him to pack some clothes because they might stay for two or three days and they got on the road very early.
Gray threw a pill at Natsu who tried to talk, but failed miserably because of the dizziness.
"Swallow. It'll make your shitty gut feel better."
Natsu didn't like taking orders, but he was obligated to do this for his own comfort. He swallowed weakly and Gray couldn't believe Natsu. The boy was fragile to any kind of transportation and pills didn't have any effect on him.
Silently, Gray thanked god for the blessing of Natsu actually not picking a fight with him since the last days were only fights. They reached their destination, and Natsu was completely out of it.
"Troublesome….." Gray muttered.
Natsu weakly opened his eyes and shifted slightly. Light came to his eyes and he felt his head throbbing from pain. He weakly leaned forward, still feeling so sick. Where was he anyway? Last thing he remembered is cursing the bastard who made his day terrible.
"What's the matter?"
He looked to his right to find strong blinding light which caused him to wince and so not detailed Gray because of the back light. "W-where are we? ….. What happened to the mission?"
"Ah that. I lied."
"L-lied?!"
"Yes. There is no mission. You are in my house."
What was going on? Wasn't the apartment the bastard's house?
Gray was leaning on a traditional Japanese house's sliding door, with bare foot. He had one leg dangling in the garden outside and had his face resting on the other knee inside the house. Natsu was on a futon with a properly tucked blanket.
The pink-haird's face was flustered as the image of Gray carrying him came into his mind.
"W-what do you mean by lied? Why the hell did you-"
Natsu stopped as he felt his head aching. Gray sighed and pushed Natsu's head with his finger which made Natsu lie down again. "We'll talk later. Sleep for now."
Natsu's vision was blurred and felt his eyes droop and it wasn't so long before he got into deep slumber.
After few hours, Natsu woke again running frantically in house searching for the bathroom. When Gray showed it to him, he entered and slammed the door shut behind him and Gray could hear Natsu suffering inside as he vomited. The ride was sure long. It was the first time Natsu gets affected so badly from transportation, and Gray wasn't so sad, in fact, he was smirking as he thought of Natsu as an idiot. Natsu got out, with red cheeks and wet face and arm and a hand covering his mouth.
He was clearly disgusted and pained and that made him return to the mattress again. His strength was melting away which is why Gray was supporting him all the way to the pillow.
Gray took his seat again leaning on the sliding door with a knee supporting his arm.
Natsu gasped for surpassing the argue of vomiting again.
"How weak! Get hold of yourself idiot."
Natsu mumbled something about did they have to take the fucking train and why didn't they just walk themselves to there…. And finally Natsu remembered that they weren't even on a mission.
"What the fuck are we doing here? Why did you lie?"
"Oh excuse me. Are you talking to me?"
Gray pointed a finger to himself.
"Don't play dumb! You know damn well I'm talking to you."
Natsu sat looking ready to murder Gray at any second.
Gray grunted the response. "It's good knowing that you can still have a decent conversation with me Momo."
"Don't call me that! What's your problem?!"
"What is MY Problem? What is YOUR problem? You think I wouldn't fucking notice? Ever since lisanna's incident you've been acting like an asshole and I don't know why. I mean…. I got up and down and I didn't find anything that I did to make you hating my presence so much and even ignoring me like I'm some kind of a pest!"
"T-that's…. that's-"
"I dare you to lie again! Seriously I can't believe you! If you have some shit against me, just say it loudly and proudly to my face and don't be a jerk!" Gray's voice wasn't loud, but it wasn't low, and it was filled with anger, but not hatred, it was concerned for the matter. Natsu looked to the floor, not able to face the fuming teen at all. Gray didn't know from when he begun to be concerned for Natsu, but after all what they have been through, Gray didn't want to believe it, but it was clear.
He liked Natsu as a friend and more. It was something young that started and didn't have the right to be called love yet. It was attraction. The black-haired wasn't gay by all means, but for him Natsu was just attractive. His personality, his kindness, and his reckless side, all of that was amazing and what made Natsu a guy called Natsu. The pink-haired was different from any other human he'd known, naturally.
Natsu was pure-hearted and it made him like Natsu even more. At the same time, he was pained to see that this connection and attraction was only one-sided, but Gray didn't care. If Natsu was there then it's enough and that was when Natsu became distant and too far to reach. Gray didn't understand why. Did he do anything that showed Natsu how he really feels about him? And why does Natsu hate him so much? When Gray found no response, he glared and got up, punched Natsu and….
"You are such as ass you know that?!"
…. And got out of the room.
When Natsu didn't feel the black haird's presence anymore, he slowly rubbed his cheek and a sad look covered his face.
In the bar, the members were happy to see Blue Pegasus visiting again. Hibiki and Daisuke had these smiles on their faces and were embarrassed from everyone's teasing to them now that they are together.
Eve also couldn't be helped. He was spreading the news of the two being official lovers and gained few glares from Hibiki while Ren was just cool about it. Of course when Daisuke was younger, Hibiki didn't approach him at all. They just shared few kisses and that was it, but now that Daisuke is 19, he told Hibiki to stop considering him as a kid and have a serious relationship with him. 'Also known as having sex.' It was the best thing that happened to both of them and they had Fairy Tail and Natsu to thank for that.
Hibiki asked about Natsu and unfortunately he wasn't there.
"Leave your message here boy. I'll be sure to tell him." Makarov told Hibiki who sighed.
"Because we were telling our client that we can't find him, he hired another group to do it, and we thought we should tell you."
Makarov Frowned. "I'll do tell him that…."
The rest of the day was enjoyable with Fairy Tail.
Mirajane just wished that Gray would solve everything with Natsu for the time being.
"GET UP PRINCESS!"
Natsu found himself kicked harshly and flying across the room and now was flat with the wall.
"What the hell?! Gray you bastard!"
"Do you know how much time I sat here trying to get your ass to move? A fucking hour!"
Natsu glared and rubbed his bruised head. When he focused a bit, he was surprised to see Gray talking to him and he fell silent.
Gray as if noticing the awkwardness, growled and crossed his arms on his chest.
"I'll be doing the breakfast. Don't dare to sleep again. The bathroom is there if you wanted to take a shower or something."
Natsu looked up with unsteady heart beats. Even though Gray was angry as hell, his accent held so much concern and that was heart warming.
"A-ah…. Ok…."
Gray 'Humph-ed!' and went outside to make breakfast. Natsu sighed and rubbed his still bruised head. He was feeling terribly weak since he came to that place which he had to ask Gray about it when things come clear. The pink-haired went to the bathroom and washed his face as he walked out to find Gray placing the food on the table.
Natsu threw his heavy body on the mat with his wet face. Gray gave him a look and sat with a huff.
Natsu ate silently with the pissed blue-eyed teen in front of him.
Natsu coughed and initiated the talk. "So….. What is this place?"
Gray glared while shoving the omelet in his mouth. He chewed and Natsu sweat-dropped.
"I told you its my fucking house."
"But the apar—"
"The apartment is a place close from work. I come here in holidays, this is my original house."
"W-why are we here?"
"Because I'm on a shitty holiday."
"B-but what do I…."
"—Stop asking questions and hurry the fuck up! I've to go to the local market."
Natsu looked confused, but nodded silently and quickly ate.
Gray gathered his dishes and went to the kitchen and Natsu followed. They changed for going out and before they do so, Gray threw a black coat on Natsu who was puzzled.
"It's fucking cold here in the mornings. And I don't want to you to be sick on me."
Natsu wrapped the coat around him while Gray's smell hit his nose strongly, and caused Natsu's mind to freeze for a minute.
"Hey! Stop dozing off and hurry the fuck up!"
Natsu quickly went to wear his sneakers. "Why aren't you wearing anything heavy? I thought you said it will be shit cold."
"For you darling, not for me."
"Asshole."
"Move it!"
Gray and Natsu were walking in the local market. It was huge and Natsu was having a hard time walking behind Gray and it was cold. Like the asshole said, it was freezing in this place and he could see why the shit head had his original house in a place like this. The connection was clear.
In the same time, the walk was enjoyable, seeing all kinds of vegetables, merchants and people walking. The market was sure lively as hell.
"Oi Gray! Long time no see!"
"Hey old man!"
"Gray-chii! You are on a holiday?"
"No. I decided to come from another city just to take a walk in the market for the hell of it! Of course I'm on a fucking holiday."
"Haha, cool your shit. Who's the guy?"
"That's Momo."
"Momo? That's weird Gray-chii. First time I see you bringing a friend here….. Is he your Beau?"
Natsu's face got crimson red and was embarrassed very much.
"No he's not. I'd dig myself a hole if he was."
"Shit! I'm so right about this one, you guys are blushing!"
"Hey woman! Don't go around addressing people as you want! I'm not his fucking whatever!" Natsu was going to destroy the merchant's merchandise and Gray was fast enough to get himself and Natsu away from the angry merchant who he knew for a long time.
"Nice job smartass! You crumbled a five years friendship in a matter of seconds."
"Are you siding with her now? You saw what that loud-mouthed freak was saying!"
"Yeah yeah whatever. Move it."
Natsu pouted and followed Gray who bought vegetables, fish and meat. They also went to get some extra blankets since Gray was having a guest in the house he had to buy some which rarely happened, almost never.
After that, they headed back and Gray stopped for a while to talk with his neighbor who happened to be a woman with three children and….. A dog. Natsu didn't like dogs….. He preferred cats.
"Ara Gray you have a visitor? He's beautiful~"
"A-Ah… well he works in the same bar so…"
"Gray-nii-chan! Come play with us!"
"Sorry you monsters I have to—"
"Come on! Goru wants to see you!"
Natsu was disgusted…. A fucking dog… they called it Goru!
The children pulled Gray who was protesting leaving Natsu with the old Lady.
"So what's your name?"
"M-momo…."
"I can see why they called you that kid! Nice to meet you!"
Natsu shook the lady's hand after he had put the plastic bags down.
"Y'know….. it's rare to capture Gray with someone here. He never had anyone visiting him in holidays."
"R-really?"
"Yeah kid. I think you're special! Something happened between you two? Like, are you his Beau?"
Natsu's face became red in its different shades while he angrily said, "NO!"
"Haha, I'm sorry, it's just really weird to see someone with Gray in this very spot of the world. I always thought that no one knew about his address and he was the anti-social type if you get my point."
Natsu wasn't going to tell the lady 'the bastard dragged me here!', trying to keep Gray's reputation in it's rightful place, but he shifted feeling uncomfortable.
"Let go you guys!" Gray was struggling to get out of the kids' grip.
"Boys! Let go of your big brother!" The kids sadly obeyed and released Gray who ruffled their hairs and thanked the lady for the rescue. "I'll be visiting you again little monsters."
Gray entered the house and ordered Natsu to tidy up the rooms and organize the blankets while he went to keep the food materials in its place. Gray also washed some clothes that had to be washed from the layers of shit-dust that was accumulated over the huge amount of time he was working. It was rare when he took a holiday. His clothes smelled like shit.
Natsu on the other hand finished tiding up the blankets like a total slave to the asshole he was. He seriously didn't know why he had to listen to anything the screwed up bastard said.
After that he told the bossy freak that he was going to take a shower. Gray was preparing for the lunch meal and after he had left the stuff to be cooked, he took the wet clothes and old blankets to put them on the robes outside to dry in his backyard garden.
Meanwhile, Natsu was finished from the shower and his hair was still very wet and actually his hair was dripping water. Natsu was wandering around looking for the asshole until he found the sliding door in his room open. Most likely GRAY'S room. Or the guest room, whichever.
He peeked from it to see Gray putting things to dry on the robes. Natsu was having a white shirt with long sleeves on and a few buttons, unbuttoned in the top and white jeans that had grayish veins in it. He was tired so he sat down dangling his legs in the garden, letting the grass tickle his bare foot. He leaned towards the door and rested on it as he promised himself that if Gray voiced one more order, he'd shoot him with fire.
He was also thinking about many things as he watched Gray doing the boring chore. Mostly he was thinking about how lazy his ass has gotten and how active Gray's ass has gotten since they arrived at that very spot of the world.
The sun was finally warming the atmosphere and slightly washing over Natsu's body. His eyes were half-lidded and that was when he wished that the peaceful atmosphere would last forever. He didn't mind being with the asshole, in fact, he kind of enjoyed the silence and the calmness of the air and wondered why the jackass had brought him to this place which wasn't so bad except when all the people in the area were creating as the second goes by, rumors about him being Gray's flame/love/soul mate/Beau/beloved/boyfriend/mandarin and the list could go on and on.
Damn asshole!
Natsu faced all kinds of embarrassments and humiliation while walking in the market, streets and over the neighborhood. He was officially known as Gray's pink-haired Mandarin for fuck's sake, how humiliating can this get? The mighty Natsu Dragneel must burn all of those people to be a good example for whoever tries to disgrace his mighty name! Why the hell the asshole brought him here? To make a great scandal in this part of the world about them being two new lovely couple? He put a mental note to beat Gray to death later.
Natsu's face reddened at the memory and his heart was pounding against his chest from an unknown reason. 'It's not like Gray would ever think this fucking way of me…..'
Natsu had his eyes still half-lidded, too tired from nothing big, he didn't do that huge effort in life that day at all.
The bastard walking, the bastard scowling, the bastard moving the blankets, the bastard scowling…..
It was what Natsu was enjoying watching at that moment. A butterfly with red and blue colored wings came slowly and rested on Natsu's hair from the side almost acting as a hair clip. Natsu weakly smiled and was too lazy to shove it away….. And he didn't know when he was lightly snoring.
Gray stopped what he was doing as he had a rare genuine smile on his face. He quietly walked four meters where Natsu was peacefully sleeping and kneeled watching Natsu's innocent and beautiful figure resting as if there was nothing troubling the humanity at all, all over the world. It was strange how Natsu can be such an ass when he actually can have this serene look visible on his features.
With that butterfly stuck to his hair, another butterfly came and rested on Natsu's shoulder and Natsu couldn't look more seducing and cute than he already was. Gray was slightly angered by those butterflies. Why did they touch Natsu so freely anyway? If they weren't so small creatures, Gray would've squished them.
That was how much he valued the clueless idiot.
He scowled at them and mouthed the words, "He's mine…. You got that little thing? M. I. N. E." Gray blew some air from his mouth and scared both of the butterflies away as he smiled again.
The smell of Natsu and the shampoo blended together creating a better scent than high value cologne. It was a pleasant fragrance.
Natsu was like an Angel on earth. So pure, so beautiful, and so kind. That was how Gray saw him. He forgot about the loud-mouthed idiot that happened to be Natsu too.
Natsu at that moment was the flawless creature in Gray's eyes.
At that, Gray's heart knocked out his ribcage and the smile never left Gray's lips. He found that this was the perfect time to take advantage on the idiot as the blue-eyed kissed Natsu's soft alluring lips for seconds which resembled a short time of Gray being in another universe. A universe radiating pleasure and Happiness and as soon as he pulled away, he felt that universe is crumbling, leaving his mind foggy.
If his heart had the freedom of just popping out, that was going to be easy. Finally he moved some annoying silky pink locks from Natsu's forehead and kissed it as he stood and resumed putting the clothes on the robes. 'Very….. Delicious….'
That was a final thought that came into Gray's mind, however, he didn't see the tomato-like face and the shocked expression on the pink-haird's eyes while they stared at Gray's back.
Gray almost wanted to beat Natsu to death! Natsu has been crushing the fucking dishes Gray told him to get, or to return to the kitchen after they finished eating. Not just that, Natsu seemed to be hypnotized and out of the world of the living. He ate nothing, didn't talk and just moved irregularly especially when he would be face to face with Gray and that pissed him.
Natsu was a dangerous being to his house items. Not only that, Gray also saved him from tripping and falling several times and the raven wanted nothing more than slapping Natsu on the face to restart his totally fried mind.
When Gray thought that Natsu was asleep, he carried the pink-haired to the futon and spread the blanket over Natsu, deciding to let him be a lazy idiot until he finishes the food. Natsu couldn't be redder. His mind stopped functioning and was totally fried while his heart melted in his chest. It just hurt.
The Almighty bastard Gray Fullbuster, kissed him. He fucking kissed him! And Natsu was sure those people who called him Mandarin had something to do with it.
"OI BAKA!" Gray shook Natsu harshly, but Natsu wasn't affected by it. Suddenly Natsu wished that Igneel was alive to tell him what that he was feeling. This weird happy feeling that hurt his chest so much.
Natsu didn't know when and how he was with the asshole walking along a path that had trees, flowers, and small domestic animals. It looked like a forest. Natsu didn't notice the tree's visible root on the ground and tripped. Gray quickly caught him and really, he had enough!
"Are you an idiot? Natsu, seriously are you alright?" Natsu shook his head slowly, his cheeks were bright red.
"W-what's wrong? Are you hurt anywhere? Hey! Answer!"
Natsu slowly gulped and wanted to run, but instead he placed his hand on his troubled chest. "Here. It….. hurts… here."
"Huh?" Gray raised a confused eye-brow.
Natsu was supporting his weight by the tree as he felt that he couldn't stand properly when he was with Gray or when Gray was giving him that look.
"W-what…. Natsu…." Gray couldn't just get it. How the mighty fire-shooting monster looked so fragile and weak in front of him.
"You bastard. It's all because of you….. it hurts all because of you….."
Suddenly a slap of realization came across Gray's face. The flushed cheeks, the weird attitude, the incoherent words….. Natsu was…..
Natsu wanted to correct his words and run from the black-haired, but before he could do so, he was gently pushed further to the tree and felt warmth covering his lips. That warmth again. He wanted to shove the other, to just shout on him, but he couldn't move a muscle.
It didn't last long after Gray felt his body literally burn and after he had felt that he can't breathe. Last thing he saw was Natsu's tears and an unheard scream.
….Chapter Ends …
Sadly, yes.
Well, do you think Gray will DIE? Hahaha….
See you guys~
