Story Title: Gentle Summer Breeze
Pairings: NatsuXGray
+ + + + Final Chapter: The Greatest Sacrifice + + + +
Gray's eyes were trying to open. The boy felt terrible pain in his chest and he was still having trouble with breathing as it felt so damn hard. His eyes weakly adjusted to the light, and he figured that it was evening already. Gray tried to remember why were he sleeping in the first place and the reason that made his chest hurt so much.
He coughed and held his head as he slowly sat in his place. He winced a little and looked to the front where the reason of his troubles sat down giving him his back. Gray saw the pink-haired in the same room sitting down and his legs dangled in the garden outside. Of course Gray saw just his back.
"N-Natsu…."
It looked as if the pink-haird's Body stiffened at the mentioning of his name and Gray suddenly remembered what happened before he blacks out.
The hypnotized idiot….
How he took the idiot outside to keep him away from his house's valuable items and to make him breathe fresh air as if it could help Natsu in refreshing his mind….
How he kept tripping….
How the idiot suddenly looked unbearably alluring and tempting….
And finally the kiss.
Funny, he couldn't remember anything else after that except for seeing Natsu's freaked-out face and the tears. Gray gulped as the fact of kissing the idiot came hitting his head like a rock. Did the idiot freak out because of the kiss? If so, why did he cry? Was Gray that cruel? Whatever Gray was thinking, Natsu didn't move or talk.
"Hey Nat-" Before Gray could utter any other word, he was punched harshly in the face and was pushed a few meters back because of the powerful punch. "WHAT THE HELL?!"
"That is for playing with people's feelings."
"H-huh? What-"
"Shut up!" Natsu looked beyond angry. "Why the hell did you do that in the forest?"
Gray rubbed his cheek while feeling so much pain. He looked at Natsu's angry face and he knew that Natsu was talking about the 'kiss'. At that, Gray stood up, even though his body was feeling like shit. "Why do you think?"
"That's my question. Answer it Fullbuster! Are you like that Sho guy too? Very funny, I didn't know that you were that kind of-"
This time it was Natsu who was punched flying towards the wooden door in the direction of the garden. Natsu and the paper and wood door were flying until Natsu's body was blending with the clay and grass. "You freakin' asshole I'm gonna—"
"I asked you why do you think I did it, and what do I get? An absurd answer."
Natsu stood up, his white long-sleeves shirt having some brownish spots and his white-grayish jeans were in the same shape as the shirt.
Natsu glared daggers at Gray who had somehow blank face. "You want to know why? It's because I like you, you idiot."
"YOU FUCKING LIER! You told me that you liked another girl! One more lie and I'll—"
"I didn't lie. I liked you, but I was afraid that I'd get rejected by you if I told you then because I, myself, frankly wasn't sure that I fucking did, but you know what?"
Natsu's eyes widened in horror and retreated few steps back when Gray came closer and closer until he'd cornered the idiot between himself and the fence as he put both of his arms at Natsu's two sides so that he won't be able to escape although Gray knew that if Natsu wanted, he'd just burn him and escape. It was a risk and he was fortunate enough when the clueless idiot looked so shocked and scared of something.
"I'm not afraid of being rejected anymore… I like you and if you didn't like that, burn me, kill me, crush me, do whatever you want, I'm not backing off."
There it is. The hot-head was blushing and Gray just knew it. "… And… I know you like me too."
The 'salamander' just gritted his teeth and looked down, his pink bangs hiding his face from the view. "Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! IDIOT! Get away!" Natsu shoved Gray who noticed the pearl-like tears falling from Natsu's eyes.
"Hey! Natsu! Wait dammit!" Gray caught the pink-haird's right wrist, obviously not finished from him yet. "What's wrong with you? If you—"
"This can't happen Gray….. it just can't…"
"…"
"It can't happen…."
They both sat on a bench in Gray's garden under the darkness of the night which was slightly lighted by the moon and the house's artificial light from inside. Gray sighed.
"Did you calm down yet?" He got no response and considered that as a yes. "Can you tell me what the fuck you meant by 'that can't happen'? I'm a bit lost here."
Natsu sniffled and tightened his fist next to him.
"First…. I just want to know… do you—"
"Yes Gray. Yes I do."
Gray smiled and smacked Natsu on the head. "Then what's the problem?"
Natsu glared a little and rubbed his head. He also didn't know how to tell this to the other. "The problem is that I might get you killed."
"… Explain."
"…. When my father gave me this powerful magic, I became at a higher level than normal humans. I can't….. Have a physical relationship with a normal human. If I did…. That human will burn if I felt so much passion towards him or her. My companion must be as powerful as I'm or else, the person will eventually burn and die."
To say it wasn't a shock, it'll be a fat-ass lie. Gray was shocked, no, stunned. He stared at Natsu with a disbelieving look.
That's it. The moment of doom. Natsu was always called a 'Monster' by the people in Magnolia. He discovered that he can kill humans by being physically linked when once he kissed a girl and later found her damaged badly. This was repeated and Natsu was hated and was called a Monster. No one understood that he was the one who was hurt the most. He wasn't allowed to have any strong passion towards anyone and it pained him. Now Gray too, would probably be scared to death.
"Hahahaha!"
Natsu quickly turned to the laughing teen next to him. The bastard was laughing?
"Oh sorry! Hahahaha!" Natsu gritted his teeth and punched Gray as he stood up.
"That really hurts you know! It's worse that being called a monster or life sucking freak! If you want to say this just say it! Don't—"
"Shut up idiot! Why would I want to say that?"
"H-huh?"
"I'm sorry…. I'm just surprised. And it's a bit hard to believe, but I think it explains the weird thing that happened today. Oh Natsu, I didn't know that you had that strong passion towards me."
"S-SHUT UP! IDIOT! I DON'T!"
"Oh really? I think you do."
"No I don't! You just—"
"Hmm." Gray suddenly wrapped his arms around Natsu and leaned towards the pink-haird's lips who was having a look of pure horror. "Yes I do! I do! Please don't!" Natsu tried not to cry and be pathetic, but two tears managed to jump out of his eyes.
"Relax idiot. I was just proving a point."
"I hate you…."
Natsu got irritated and shoved Gray, ignoring the bastard and wanted to get in the house, but before doing that, Gray wrapped his arms around him from behind.
"So tell me Natsu, isn't there a way to… put you in control? Or to make… you know… 'that' possible? A-ah… not necessarily with me I mean…"
Gray could feel it. Natsu was trembling and barely able to stand. "No… I didn't find a way."
It came in a whisper and Gray caught the sadness that coated Natsu's words. "That's why… you should give up on this matter. Find someone—"
"Shut up. You know? You are talking a lot of nonsense today."
"…"
"I will not give up on you. You and me are gonna find a way, whether you liked it or not!"
"Gray…. I was glad that you were alive today…. Don't—"
"Natsu! Stop that alright? Now. I'm tired. Let's get some sleep."
"…."
Natsu went to change his clothes in the bathroom. He had to, they were dirty.
Gray saw him take off his shirt, and when Natsu knew that Gray was peeking, he slammed the door shut almost breaking Gray's nose, the boy who was frozen outside.
"That's not cute!"
"Who the fuck told you that I'm a fucking girl?" Came the voice from the other side of the door.
"No one. You can be cute if you didn't want to."
There was a huge 'BANG!' On the door making Gray sweat-drop.
"Fuck off bastard!"
"I know you're blushing. How cute~"
"I swear I'll kill you!"
"Hai, Hai."
Gray moved on to the room and combined his and Natsu's futon together. As soon as Natsu entered the room, he was shocked and actually had his face covered in red.
"I'm not gonna sleep next to you."
"Yes you are." And they had a pillow fight. They almost shredded the fabric and it was an intense fight that made Gray seriously irritated as he saw the idiot getting all worked up over a simple gesture. To stop this fight, after all Gray was tired, he wrapped a blanket around Natsu and pulled the idiot towards him. The blanket covered Natsu's hair and body from behind and just exposed him from Gray's area. "Listen Natsu, you don't have to act like I'm telling you 'I'm gonna get you laid' alright? We'll just sleep." Gray smirked at the blush visible on the other's cheek and finally kissed his forehead.
It was the first time Natsu sleeps with someone. For a bastard, Gray was so warm. So warm that he was able to relax and sleep while hearing the strong and rapid heart beats of the other who buried his face in the pink-hair, taking in the pleasant scent of it. Gray finally realized that what was missing from his life for years is now between his arms right next to him. He allowed a final smile to be visible on his lips before he completely gave in to sleep.
The next two days were filled with….. Fights, but it was also happiness for Natsu. Yes he would get so shocked and nervous if Gray suddenly showed up hugging him from behind, or suddenly kissing his ear, or pecking his lips or tease him to the point his face releases steam.
Normally Gray would be suffering while putting the ice-pack on his bruised cheek, or leg, or arm, or head, or nose. Natsu wasn't that simple to get a move on and it caused him his well-being, but Gray liked the fact that Natsu wasn't easy to approach. And couldn't help but to smirk at how Natsu was incredibly shy and how he tried to cover that up by hitting Gray to death. He enjoyed that as the sadistic bastard he was.
"Hey Natsu. When you kissed sho, why he was fine? Didn't you say it was dangerous?"
They were spreading the sheets, wet clothes and blankets on the ropes in the garden when Gray suddenly asked that question. They were back to back and Natsu thanked god that his face weren't visible or that bastard would've teased him harshly.
"Natsu?"
"Shut up idiot! Why are you asking?"
Gray got irritated and kicked Natsu's leg. "Fine. Be a jerk and don't talk."
Natsu took a while until he recovered from the pain and sighed when he saw Gray's face. It was angry. DAMN possessive bastard.
"It's because…. I… didn't have a passion for him like I h-had for… you." It was a faint whisper. If Gray wasn't paying attention, he wouldn't have heard it, but he did, and was on cloud 9.
He turned around and hugged the clueless Natsu from behind. "Aww! That is 'blind' honesty."
Normally Gray would be suffering from a pain somewhere, and he was surprised that none of Natsu's painful hits were there. Instead, Natsu turned his head back and kissed Gray's cheek.
The black-haird's heart melted and his eye's were wide and shocked. Was that real? Did that really happen?
"Don't be jealous Gray. I told you that I like you."
That smile, that tanned face, that pink hair… Gray was certain that he was liking Natsu all over again. "Hey!" Natsu pouted. "Can you let go now? I want to finish if you don't mind!"
Damn it! Gray wanted to kiss those rosy pink lips.
Yes. These days meant a lot for Natsu. It was the first time he had someone special, and someone who actually cared for Natsu. Yes, he couldn't believe that he would end up being with a perverted bastard, but it happened anyway. They were sleeping together again when Gray asked a question.
"What if I activated my magic? Would it still be dangerous?" Natsu laughed and buried his face in the pillow. "Hahaha! Of course it would! You think your magic is powerful that mine?"
Gray scowled and punched Natsu's head. "You don't have to be so straight forward!"
"You are weird."
Mirajane was happy to see both males actually smiling to each other even if it was for a second between the constant fighting.
She was worried sick about Gray and Natsu the past weeks, but seeing that warm atmosphere around them….. It made her forget her worries straight away and throw them out the window. That is if a warm atmosphere meant biting each other's heads off every five, no, maybe a second. Less than that.
Although Natsu had a terrible time in the train, he was relieved to be finally in the Fairy Tail bar where he was hugged by Lucy, Lisanna, and loki and was so amused by Gray's irritated face. Tsk. A possessive bastard he was.
No one knew about what Natsu and Gray had, and they didn't mind telling anyone. Makarov was there also, and warned Natsu, that he was being targeted harshly, and Natsu's reaction was just sad and he didn't realize that the day of him standing against Zeref would be so soon.
Natsu was walking back and forth in the bar, having something obviously troubling him. It was mid-night, and yet Gray was not back from the mission. There were few members in the bar including Lucy, Loki, Lisanna, Juvia who was equally worried, Mirajane, Erza and the Master.
While they were busy figuring out where Gray was, an arrow came flying so fast inside the bar causing the wall to crack. Natsu was alarmed and after shoving Lucy out of the way of the speedy arrow, he quickly took the paper that was attached to the arrow and read it.
Natsu.
You know where to find me. Come quick or the blue-eyes boy will disappear.
Those words were enough to make Natsu's flames burst out. Everyone was shocked in the bar to see Natsu's flames, and Natsu didn't have time to explain and just dashed towards the huge amount of magic power, that was released by none other than the dark magician Zeref.
"That was quick, Natsu."
The pink-haired stood surrounded by the fire and rage. It was an old factory that no one used, and it was dark. There were some signs of people used to work in that place, but Natsu guessed that Zeref was using it as a base. What made him more angered is the sight of Gray who lost his consciousness and Natsu guessed that Zeref had someone releasing his tantrum on Gray.
"Zeref." Natsu pronounced the word with venom dripping from his voice, and Natsu wasn't the only one who was surrounded with tense air from the magic. Zeref had his eyes which were black, turned to red rubies and a dark aura engulfing him.
"Natsu. Why don't we talk?"
Natsu gritted his teeth and looked at Zeref who had an old man next to him who was powerful enough to give Natsu the creeps. He wasn't going to fucking talk. He was going to settle everything by his fists.
He leaped forward to destroy the source of his suffering, just to find Darkness throwing him to the ground. Before he falls, he used his fire to support him and launched at the black-haired dark magician again. This was repeated many times with failure.
"Natsu. You know you can't win that way."
"Give Gray back, and then I'll play with you as long as you want!"
"Huh? You think that scum matters to me?"
"…"
"All I want is you Natsu. Be one of my followers. Only then I can let you have that scum."
"….. NEVER! Someone like you who killed my father, doesn't have the right to call others scum!"
"You call that a father? Who forbid their children from having real love and still be called a father?"
"It's none of your business! I was lonely! Igneel was the one who took me in and taught me everything! I accepted that power with my own will while being very aware of its consequences!"
"You weren't lonely Natsu. You had me by your side. I warned you from taking control of that power and you didn't listen."
"Shut the fuck up!"
"Come with me Natsu. I'm the only one who can take that power and you know that. I'm the only one who can make you happy."
Natsu crushed the wall behind him from irritation and leaped forward trying to put a scratch on the dark magician.
Natsu's heart hurt when he saw Gray tied up to the post. He couldn't stop blaming himself that he was the one and only reason that something like that happened.
A flying sword cut off his thoughts. It was directed to Zeref who barely was able to dodge. Natsu's eyes widened and turned back to have the greatest surprise as he saw red hair and no one other than Erza scarlet. Beside her, there was Lucy, Makarov, Mirajane and Juvia. Natsu was dumbfounded for a while until he sensed the magic power of all the members standing before him, especially Erza and Mirajane. It was huge, and Natsu didn't know how he didn't sense it at all earlier with his curious nose.
Zeref sighed. "Hades. I'll leave them to you. I don't want to be interrupted while finishing my talk with Natsu."
Hades was a very powerful magician and Natsu were scared to hell when the man attacked the members of the bar. "Natsu! Don't care about us! Get Gray safe!"
Gray was sure that he was having the longest sleep in his life. His body hurt when he regained consciousness and he wished that he hadn't because what he saw, was a form of nightmare. Makarov, Erza, Lucy, Juvia and Mirajane were laying on the ground, breathing heavily while having severe injuries and the smell of blood almost made him faint.
Natsu stood or barely stood, his clothes had blood spots everywhere and he looked terribly exhausted. "No one will love you. No one will act as if you are a human, Natsu. Your place is only with me."
Everything was desperate. Natsu was Desperate, but he didn't give up. His friends were all defeated by Hades and Natsu didn't expect better. Makarov was the only one able to stand in front of Hades, the dark magician using lost magic. Natsu knew that he wasn't prepared to fight Zeref and his followers, but it came suddenly, a must.
Natsu was losing his magic amount in his body when out of no where he felt a chill.
A sudden chill that couldn't be the result of the weather at night. It was more deep, more suffocating, more skin piercing, and more cold than other chill that he had experienced before.
The pressure and tension was too much to take and Natsu fell on his knees, wrapping his hands around his neck, obviously, he had a terrible time being able to breathe properly.
A Puff of cold came out from his mouth, a sign of a strange temperature drop down. Natsu was choked, and began to think that this was one of Zeref's hidden cards.
The ground was all frozen suddenly, the walls and everything except for the individuals inside, although Natsu's legs were frozen with the ground and frost covered his arms, hair and neck. It was a terrible feeling. It was like drowning and not being able to call for help.
Natsu heard steps. Heavy steps that created fear with each second.
"G-G… G… ray…"
The raven stood in front of Natsu, Facing zeref who had an amused look on his face, wondering how the blue-eyes were able to break free from his chains and also how he was able to defeat Hades with the extra cold around the dark magician.
Natsu coughed, barely able to keep himself alive, and so did the other members. The tension was so high and the air particles suddenly were going less and less around the pink-haired, but that wasn't covering up the stunned looking face.
"Interesting." The Called Zeref said.
Gray stood with a blank face and sky blue color covered up all of his eyes so that he had his black pupil missing, blending with the color. He looked unconscious and not in control. The bastard Gray wasn't there. Only the one standing with the deadly aura around.
"Rise and Trap. Ice-Make. Prison."
Natsu felt the ground move, and it seemed like an earthquake. A freezing Ice came out roughly from the ground forming a prison around the dark magician who was astonished for a second, but it wasn't enough for him to panic. His darkness used its full power to consume the Ice and break its Master free.
"Slash without mercy. Ice Make. Cold Excalibur."
A weapon which looked very sharp and durable, were created in Gray's hand looking like a sword created from Metal in its strength, but actually it was Ice.
When Zeref blinked a second time, he felt a searing pain and looked to find a huge gush on his chest and spluttered scarlet blood. The dark magician looked back at Gray's direction to find the raven standing still in the exact same spot.
'How…. This is nonsense! How fast exactly is he?' he cursed.
That raven. He was standing between him and Natsu! It was time for him to die.
Zeref gathered his power in a one-shot strike while rising high in the sky looking at Gray with blind rage. No one was going to stand between him and Natsu. No one. Not even a weakling using Ice.
"Heed the contract and serve me, Ice. Come, everlasting emotionless cold, the eternal destruction. Bring death to all that I despise and don't give it eternal rest. Ice Make…."
"Die you worthless human!"
"…. Arrow."
That was when the two forces clashed together bringing a blinding lights into Natsu's eyes who couldn't comprehend what was happening between both guys.
Zeref had disappeared. Natsu was still processing that fact when he was drinking a juice while sitting in front of Mirajane. The bar was noisy as always.
Two days passed since Zeref's incident and Natsu was sure that Zeref was still alive, but missing. Gray was still sleeping, unconscious and Natsu got to learn about the bar. Not all members knew magic. Just a few and that explained Makarov, Erza, Lucy, and Mirajane's power. He was surprised, but somehow he was thankful for having powerful allies and friends. Makarov was a jerk yes, for hiding this from Natsu, but somehow Lucy was even more than a jerk. She apologized many times and still Natsu was upset.
He also learned that Gray didn't know anything about magic before, and it puzzled Natsu so much. How was he able to activate his magic?
Natsu was on a new mission already when Gray woke up and when Natsu came back, he was surprised. Of course, the members weren't that oblivious to what kind of relationship Gray and Natsu had when they saw them hug each other like there was no tomorrow coming, And after seeing Natsu's happy falling tears.
Juvia was irritated and sulked in a corner immediately and the bar sweat-dropped, however, after a few days of the recovery, Gray seemed distant and weird, until one night Natsu got to knock the truth out of him.
They were in the bar, shouting, and they didn't care. "Can you tell me why the fuck are you acting like a jerk?"
Natsu was beyond irritated, and Gray acted so cold, and got outside the bar.
"Gray! Wait!"
Gray's wrist was grabbed by Natsu while he was walking in the empty street. Gray simply growled and snatched his wrist back. "Fine! You want to know? I was looking for a way to solve our problem! I can't fucking be with you if I can't touch you!"
"I thought—"
"You thought wrong! Natsu, I told you I'd find a way! And I'm thinking about it now, night and noon!"
Natsu looked to the ground. He knew it. He knew his power and his existence were only meant for people to suffer. Before saying another word, Natsu was surrounded by warmth radiating from the raven who was silent for a while, letting Natsu rest in his embrace.
"Natsu. I'm just frustrated. This magic is new to me…. I feel anxious and I don't know how to control it, if I want to, I just imagine your laugh, scowl, and smile. It drives me Crazy that I can't…. get enough from you."
"…"
"I want you… really bad."
It was a whisper which made Natsu shiver, and blush like Crazy. Gray was just that perverted to say words that is irresponsible, yet, Natsu didn't know that Gray was having hard time controlling his power. It all made sense when he thought about it. Ice was strong magic and it was a vast surprise to see the bastard having it. Somehow it suited him.
"Ahem…" both of them pulled away at the odd sound.
"Come with me Natsu, Gray."
Makarov noticed how the two idiots blushed hard when he was offering a solution to their problem and Mirajane laughed nervously and kicked the master out of the room and locking it after. She explained to them what to do and they were less nervous with Mirajane around.
"I think, no, we think, that if you visited the tomb of our bar's first Master Mavis, you might be able to get some answers." Both sheepishly smiled and that conversation couldn't get any weirder in their view.
Gray and Natsu were doomed if they didn't at least try that final solution. Talking to the dead.
Makarov and Mirajane used their magic to dress both of the lads well and up to the occasion which made them sweat-drop. Why did they have to be dressed like they are some kind of handsome ass-princes? They weren't getting married anyway.
Natsu was covered in Golden Glow before he appeared wearing white suit with red necktie and fairy tail golden emblem on his left part of chest catching any eye that looked at him while his hands were gloved in white gloves. On his shoulders there were golden marks and on his waist, the belt was white with golden openings.
Gray on the other hand was covered in Blue Glow before he appeared wearing Black suit with dark-blue necktie and silver fairy tail emblem on his right part of chest while he had his hands free unlike Natsu. On his waist, the belt was black with silver openings.
Both of them sweat-dropped when Mirajane Grinned and the bar members whistled wolf whistles at how breath taking they looked. And the fact that they were going to be married.
Simple.
The bar was on flames, and some where suffering being choked from the Frost around their necks.
Mirajane shook her head and smacked both of their heads.
Gray was astonished to see that there was a real magical dimension. Makrov led them to an island called tenrouIsland which was a sacred place for Fairy Tail Masters and members. It was the first time Gray or Natsu learn about their bar. That it was that great.
They arrived to the tomb which Natsu believed that it was the place was the first creator of Fairy tail bar is buried. They stood and were told by Makarov and Mirajane to voice their issue in their minds honestly. Natsu hesitated a bit, but then he didn't have much choice. Same as Gray who believed that what they were doing is utter-bullshit.
"I hear you. Natsu Dragneel."
Natsu didn't see anything in his life looking as pretty as what was in front of him. A seemingly a spirit of a young lady with long blond hair, and Emerald eyes was glowing like the sun, floating in front of both males. She smiled and created a barrier trapping herself and Natsu only inside it.
Gray immediately panicked and ran to try to get in the transparent bubble that had Natsu and the ghost freak that appeared out of no where. There was no use. He couldn't hear whatever the two was saying while Mirajane and Makarov cooled him down, telling him that it was fine and that Natsu was safe and in tender hands.
"Natsu Dragneel", it was a soft, tender voice. "I feel your pain and I fear it's great."
Natsu bit his lips and stood silent.
"I know what shall make you win your desire, but the question is, are you, willing to generously sacrifice? The cost of happiness is vast, and I'm sure you already know that."
Natsu weakly nodded before he straightened his white suit with his gloved hands. He looked back to Gray who had a puzzled look and smiled, then looked back to Mavis.
"Long time ago, I actually knew what needed to be done in order to be able to normally get attached to someone with all what the word means. I was stubborn and it didn't pain me that I wasn't able to… like, but now, I think taking the decision is simple."
Mavis smiled brightly. "It'll be hard Natsu Dragneel. Are you sure of taking that decision?" Natsu looked to Gray and smiled. "Yes. I think I did."
"Very well."
Mavis created a ball that was transparent and waited for a while before she confirms Natsu's desire. "Do you, Natsu Dragneel, Abandon your magic for good, and not be regretting it afterwards?"
"Yes."
"Is Gray fullbuster the right choice? The one companion worthy of this sacrifice?"
"Yes."
"Your contract with me is sealed. I shall give you your happiness and you shall give me your power."
"Do it please."
"I hope you made the right decision Natsu Dragneel."
Natsu smiled sadly as he watched his body glowing red and fire being absorbed by Mavis's transparent magical ball. He knew that this had to be done, and didn't regret it. Surely that his power reminded him with his father, but now Gray was his future and he hoped his father would forgive him for being a jerk and a sucker for Gray fullbuster.
'Igneel….'
'Well-done Natsu. I'm proud of you…. Son."
'I-Igneel? Where are you? Wait!'
'Natsu. I'm here. I was always here with you.'
'Igneel….'
'I'm proud of you.'
When Natsu opened his eyes his face was soaked with tears and was hanging in the sky that looked just blue. The other raven male was in front of him with a concerned face. Gray was suddenly floating by Mavis's power until he had no space between himself and the pink-haired who was soaked in his tears.
"Natsu…. Why did you..."
Natsu shook his head and tried to stop the stream of tears. "Just…. Don't."
Mavis Vermilion smiled and raised a finger that had the tip of it glowing golden. Gray looked to his finger and saw a silver ring being created. After a while Gray looked to his hand and smiled.
'Gray Fullbuster'
His name was carved elegantly on it, and Natsu who stopped his attention to his tears, looked with owe at the silver ring.
Gray took Natsu's right hand and slowly and gently, slipped the gloves out of Natsu's hands. Natsu gasped as he saw a silver ring on his finger too, which had 'Natsu Dragneel' his name, carved beautifully on it.
Mirajane Was barely holding back her tears and Makarov smiled.
Gray intertwined both of their hands and hugged Natsu tightly. "Thank you. Natsu Dragneel."
Natsu chuckled. "Pleasure is all mine, Mister Gray."
Gray chuckled too. "So I guess we are married forcibly huh?"
"Yeah. Hell everyone has decided that without our agreement."
Pink hair swayed back and forth in the cool wind that suddenly took place in the afternoon. Three growls from different people could be heard and a grumble of some sort.
"You dare to touch our elder brother?"
Soft pink lips were pulled into a thin bored line as a sigh escaped. "Yes I dare. What are you assholes going to do about it?"
Again, the growls. God, Natsu just couldn't get enough from provoking stuck-up-idiots. Phantom Lord Scum just was there as always to darken his bright day.
"Geez, can't you guys see I'm in a hurry? I don't have time for your shit, move it!"
"Oh no we won't!"
As quick as the fire burns, a fight was initiated and Natsu was smirking devilishly and happily to have his fist colliding against rough flesh. He had fun crushing his opponents especially in the days that he had no drop of magic or power. Natsu was just trying to fill the empty void by punishing whoever stood in his face, wiping the daylights out of them, leading them to the deepest floor of hell.
In the middle of the punches, kicks and chuckles, a hand armed with knife almost stabbed Natsu if only that cold frost didn't freeze his movement which was something extraordinary. It's not everyday you get stuck in a piece of Ice block.
"Yo, Natsu. Got enough fun?" the pink-haired sweat dropped and the droplets of sweat ran like Crazy on his whole body after hearing that cool-cold stern voice.
"Listen ass-heads. You disappear from my sight now, and I promise I won't lay a finger on you."
The men's legs trembled as they realized who were talking with them.
"G-Gray …. Fullbuster…"
that name made horror to the enemy. Gray fullbuster…. So far, no one could stand in his way, and even though Natsu Dragneel was a name that brought terror, Gray's name brought Death.
"W-WERE ARE SORRY!"
Natsu huffed and pouted crossing his arm. "Ah…. There goes my prey…."
Yep, that was sad, but he was also scared of what was to get to him.
"IDIOT!"
BAAAAM!
Natsu rubbed his head while releasing crocodile tears and wiping the blood.
"Ah…. Bastard! Bastard! Bastard! BASTARD!"
Gray's eyes were blue, terrorizing blue that could bring a heart attack to weaklings, but not Natsu who had his ear pinched by Gray who made sure to add a double pressure into the pinch. "Are you Crazy? Do you know what could've happened if I didn't show up?"
Nastu released a whimper and made effort in getting his ear safe, away from Gray.
"Fine fine! I'm sorry! Let go that hurts!" Gray smacked Natsu finally and pulled him out of the road that was dirty.
"Idiot hot-headed freak."
Natsu stared at Gray's back and smiled wiping away the fake tears. Gray has gotten so much bolder, colder, stronger, and finally responsible. Natsu knew that Gray was working on training himself to be stronger to have the power to protect Natsu against any danger. Gray was now….. Not defeat-able.
"Gray."
Gray turned looking to the troublemaker who needed babysitting. "WHAT?"
Natsu smiled and closed the distance between his and his companion as he kissed the frowny lips passionately and as expected, earning a gasp from Gray who was shocked, not because the idiot kissed him, but because the idiot was displaying his affection in what seemed to be public place.
Natsu pulled back smiling that freaky smile and said in three words which he was hesitating saying them before.
"I…. love you." And his blush couldn't be redder. Gray took a while to process the words in his mind, actually having dangerous fast heart beats.
"What….. did you s-say?"
Natsu pulled himself away from Gray's bubble and walked forward.
"I ain't saying it again!"
Gray ran behind the other and hugged him.
"Thank you."
Life was good. Bad. Interesting. Freaky. Terrorizing. And most of all, exciting if you lived it with Natsu Dragneel.
…. The End …..
Phew. that was long.
Well. that is that. no sequels and no nothing.
