THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER! Maybe I shouldn't have written it so fast...now not so many people have read it. Anyway,this chapter might be a little too sappy for some of y'all's test, so...yeah. Here goes.

Natsu stumbled along the labyrinth of hallways, breathing heavily. He forced his eyes open, teetering to the side.

"Excuse me, Dragneel-san?" a nurse asked, rushing over to his side. "You aren't supposed to be out of your room! Please go-"

"Where is Gray's room?" he asked, interrupting her. She gave him a strange look.

"What?"

Natsu rolled his eyes, becoming more impatient.

"Where is Gray's room? WHAT ABOUT THIS DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?" He asked testily, his voice rising despite its hoarseness. The nurse winced at his harsh rebuke, pulling out her clipboard.

"Gray Fullbuster?" she asked, and Natsu nodded.

"Fullbuster-san is in room 304...but, he's sleeping right now... please, Dragneel-san, go back to your room...," she said, touching his arm hesitantly. He looked down at the ground, and then looked back at her with a large smile.

"I know you're trying to help me...but what will really help me is making sure that Gray is okay," he said. "That guy can be a bit...reckless." The nurse laughed knowingly, and pointed him in the direction of his room. With a nod of thanks, he was off.

Natsu pushed open the door.

Gray looked far too pale for his liking. His breaths were coming out in ragged gasps, yet his face remained peaceful. His shirt was off, and a bandage was wrapped around his torso. Natsu's eyes drifted to Makarov, who was sleeping on the hospital chair next to him. Cana, who was also immersed in a deep slumber, was curled up next to Gray, holding his hand tightly. Natsu sat next to the Master, crossing his arms.

He heard a gasp.

His eyes shot open, and he looked at Gray. Tired eyes stared back, and the ice mage gave him a weak smile. He still looked groggy from sleep, but, he was awake, and that was all that mattered right now. Natsu felt a spasm of emotions wash over him, but he dismissed all of them, save one.

"Gray...," he whispered, before his face turned angry. "What the HELL, Gray?" The ice mage rolled his eyes,closing them slightly.

"What do you mean? Nice way to greet someone right after they saved you," Gray said, his face unreadable. Natsu got up hastily, fire in his eyes.

"Did I give you PERMISSION to sacrifice yourself? To die on all of us?" he asked, his voice trembling. His voice dropped to a whisper, and he looked down. "Don't you realize how much you mean to all of us?" Gray, in turn, shot up as well, anger in his eyes.

"Well, how do you think it would make me feel if I just LET you get hurt, huh?!" he yelled. "Do you think I would just stand there, and watch you get a sword through your chest? I'm-" Gray suddenly gasped in pain. He screwed his eyes shut, taking deep breaths. Natsu's eyes widened, hesitantly putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Um...Gray...are you okay?" he asked. After a while, Gray's breathing returned to normal, and he opened his eyes a little.

"I guess we're all just selfish," Gray murmured quietly, smiling. "Too selfish to let our friends get hurt." He turned towards Natsu, a small grin on his face. "We are friends right?" Natsu was taken aback by the question.

"Yeah, we are," Natsu confirmed, a nonchalant smile on his face. "But, I'm still going to kill you right after you recover." Gray smirked, chuckling before coughing a little. He snuggled a bit more into the pillows, and Natsu watched him closely.

"I'm going back to sleep," he whispered. "Check up on Lucy and Erza for me, okay?" Natsu nodded, watching him fall back into sleep. He shakily got up, but he felt something fall out of his eyes, and he wiped away his tears quickly. He grinned, ruffling Gray's hair quickly.

"Don't think the favor won't be returned, Ice Princess," he said. "We truly are selfish, aren't we?"

It took Team Natsu three weeks to make a full recovery. As soon as Natsu had regained his senses, his immediate response was to look for his scarf. Cana was glad to give it to him, saying that she had found it on the hotel floor. Gray checked up on Lucy, who had taken it the worst out of all of them. She was sulking in one of the corners of the guild, her eyes expressing nothing but sadness.

"Hey, Lucy," he said, touching her shoulder lightly. She didn't turn.

"I'm so weak," she said. "Why am I so weak?! Gray, I want to be strong like the rest of you." The ice mage, puzzled, sat down next to her.

"But you're not weak. You defeated almost all of the soldiers down there...let alone broke out by yourself," he said, and Lucy closed her eyes.

"I just don't want to be a burden," she said. Gray laughed at her statement, ruffling her hair in a big-brother fashion.

"Trust me," he said. "You're the exact opposite."

Aaaand we're done! How did you all like it? I'm a bit disappointed though...not many people reviewed or favorited...except for Absolute-ZERO99 (thanks, I can always count on you). Sorry that the chapters are so short...that's just my style. I promise you...it takes me more than ten times the amount of time to write the piece than it takes you to read it. Anyway...QUESTION! Should I go back to drabbles, or should I write another story? If you want me to write another story, please tell me!

Also, should I continue the Grayza Drabbles? Your opinions are VALUED! Also, if you have any questions you want to ask me (e.g. how old am I?), feel free. I might answer them. MIGHT.

Anyway, I guess this fanfiction is over...the rest is rust and stardust, really (Lolita, anybody?). PEACE OUT.
