"Slow down" Loke laughed as he watched Natsu fill his mouth with the runny egg sandwich.
"It tastes good" Natsu smiled, yolk running down his chin.
Loke smiled and leaned forward to wipe the slayers mouth, Natsu moved back.
"W-what are you doing?" he asked.
"I'm just trying to wipe your mouth" Loke explained.
"Oh" Natsu wiped his hand over his mouth, smearing it onto his hand but leaving some on the side of his cheek.
"Why do you get so nervous when I try and touch you?" Loke asked but Natsu's gazed shifted over his friends shoulder as Gray entered the hall.
The ice mage greeted people as he walked by, he walked around to the end of the table, taking a seat just a few down from Natsu. The slayer stared at the ice mage, his shirt was half open. He had marks all over his neck and some on his chest. Gray leaned over to get some toast, Natsu eyes centred as the worried look crossed his face.
"What's wrong with you Natsu?" Lyon asked as he took the seat next to Loke.
The slayer looked at the white haired mage, before turning his gaze back to Gray.
"W-what happened to Gray?" he asked.
Lyon looked to his right and laughed; he turned to Natsu and smiled.
"I'm guessing your referring to the marks on his skin?"
Natsu nodded, "What are they? Did he get bit?" he asked.
Loke shook his head and laughed into his cereal.
"Yes someone did bite him, while they were having sex with him" Lyon explained.
Natsu turned back to Gray; his heart suddenly felt heavy, why would someone want to hurt him while they were making love to him.
"His fine, they don't hurt…well not really" Loke tried to offer some comforting words to Natsu.
But the slayers eyes were already filling up with tears, he didn't understand why someone would hurt the ice mage, making love was supposed to be gently, but all the marks on Gray looked sore.
"Natsu" Loke called out, placing his hand on the slayers.
Natsu flinched back from the touch, he stood and ran out the hall, he couldn't bear to see all them bruises over someone he, he…wait did he love Gray?
Natsu ran back to his room, tears were pouring down his burning red cheeks. He shut the door and fell onto his bed, His thoughts had had time to gather, he knew now that it was Sting, Sting who had placed them marks on the ice mage, so he could show that he belong to him.
"Ahhhhhhh" Natsu screamed in to his pillow as his chest tightened.
Why did it hurt so much? He had never kissed or held Gray, so why was his heart aching so much, why was it longing for the ice mage so much. Love, it's the most powerful thing in the world, I've heard a lot about it but I could never image it would heart so much.
Natsu tears stopped, he pulled his head from his pillow and wiped his eyes. He sat up and sighed, he had fallen so deep for this ice mage, he had given him his heart in the hope that maybe, maybe Gray would give his in return, but it seems it already belong to someone, it belong to Sting. Natsu sniffed and ran his hand through his pink hair.
From now on I will no longer think of him, he will be just a shadow I once adored. I can't compare to someone like Sting, so I will accept just being a person Gray knows. Because I will never, be his one and only.
