Natsu lay down on his bed, throwing a football up and down as he waited for his door to knock. Gray had asked him to go with him somewhere; he hadn't managed to get the details because Gildart had come into the barn before Gray could explain more. Natsu had been nervous about seeing the ice mage again; he had been waiting patiently listening for footsteps, but still there hadn't been a knock at his door. Lyon had been sleeping for over an hour now meaning the slayer had been waiting for almost two hours.
Maybe I miss heard what Gray said, it's dark now….and were not supposed to leave our rooms after eight.
Natsu stopped throwing the ball and looked out at the window, he sighed.
What if Gray was just teasing him and wasn't really going to come and see him and he had waited all this time, no Gray wouldn't do that…but if he ran in to Sting then, then maybe. Don't think like that, Gray will be here…he will.
*Half an hour later*
"Natsu? Natsu" Gray whispered, poking the pinknette as he slept.
Natsu groaned, moving to the side.
"Wake up" Gray poked the boy's cheek.
Natsu shivered slightly as he felt a cold touch against his skin, he rubbed his eyes and turned his head.
"Gray?" he called out, seeing a dark shadow over him.
The door knocked, Natsu sat up as he heard the deputy heads voice calling to him from behind the door. Gray looked at him before diving over the bed. Natsu ran to the door before the door was open.
"Y-yes miss?" he answered, opening the door while rubbing his eyes.
A blue eyed woman, with a long pink dress stood in front of him.
"I heard voices in here, you know you should be sleeping" Mira pointed out.
Natsu nodded his head, "I was uhm…dreaming"
"Oh, alright" she smiled, "Well get some rest, sorry for waking you" she apologized before turning and leaving.
Though Mira was the deputy head at the school she was easy to fool and always thought the best of the pupils. This made her one of the student's favourite teachers.
Natsu turned around to see no Gray; the room was dark with only the light from the hall shining through the bottom of the door.
"Gray?" he called out, whispering.
"Your shoes stink!" Gray moaned, pushing Natsu football boot out from under the bed.
Natsu looked down at the shoe before kneeling down and finding Gray hidden under the mattress.
"What are you doing under there?" he asked
"I couldn't get caught, she would have made me go back to my room" Gray explained as he moved his hair away from his face.
"Oh…" Natsu blinked, he hadn't really listened to what Gray had said. He was too distracted with looking at the hunky ice mage under HIS bed.
Gray wriggled out, fluff stuck to his dark, raven hair. He stood and brushed down his clothes. Natsu remained kneeled, looking up to him.
"Are you ready to come with me then?" Gray asked, looking down at Natsu.
"T-To where?" Natsu asked, slowly standing.
Gray walked over to the window and opened it, the wind rushed through the gap, filling the room with coldness. Natsu shuddered a little, rubbing his hands over his arms as he stared at Gray, a little confused.
"Come on" Gray smiled as he climbed out the window.
Natsu stared at the open window before slowly walking over. They weren't allowed to leave their rooms after nine, and going out of the school grounds after dark was forbidden. Natsu peeked his head out the open window, looking down at Gray.
"W-w-were going to g-get in to trouble" Natsu stuttered, the cold brushing over his skin causing tiny bumps to scatter across his body.
"No we won't, trust me" Gray smiled; he placed his arms out for Natsu.
The slayer looked back into the dark room, Lyon was fast asleep and Mira was not even on his floor anymore.
Just go with him you big baby, this is GRAY…he wants YOU to go with him ALONE…Oh god I'm going to be alone with Gray!
"Natsu?" Gray called
The slayer slowly began climbing out the window, Gray reached out for him, placing his hands on Natsu's waist, taking all the boys weight and bringing him down to the ground.
His hands are so cold… oh I'm down…please don't let me go.
Natsu stared into Gray's dark blue eyes; the ice mage smiled and moved his hands from around Natsu's waist. The slayer tried to hide the disappointing look on his face as Gray's hands slipped away from him.
"You look cold, here take this" Gray removed his black jacket and helped Natsu put it on.
Dammit I can't find the sleeve, I can't concentrate, his so close to me I can feel his breathe on my skin. Calm down, focus, his hand just brushed my arm. Natsu! His even closer to you, OMG, OMG, his lips are just, if I just move my head.
Gray zipped up the jacket, his head down causing his hair to fall over his face. Natsu stared at the ice mage, his body no longer affected by the cold air now his body was wrapped in Gray's warm, cotton jacket. Gray slipped his hands under the hood and placed it over Natsu's head; he smiled and searched for the slayers hand. The sleeves were hanging over Natsu's hands; Gray slowly lifted the slayers arms and adjusted the jacket so it didn't look so big on him.
Natsu stood motionless; the touch of Gray had made him almost immobile. How strange it is that one person can affect you so deeply.
Gray slipped his hand into Natsu's; he gently pulled the slayer towards the forest.
"W-why are w-we in here?" Natsu asked, a little scared of the noises coming out of the oversized trees.
"I told you, I wanted to show you something" Gray turned and smiled. "Don't be scared, I won't let anything happen to you"
Natsu looked around, huge eyes were staring down at them, he squeezed Gray's hand tightly.
"Were here" Gray gently pulled Natsu forward.
There in front of him was a huge lake; there weren't any trees around it so it allowed the moonlight to bounce of the calm water. Natsu walked forward, the place was beautiful. He turned and looked at Gray who was already looking at him. The ice mage walked forward, still holding Natsu's hand, he lead him to a huge tree, which was just near the water's edge, the branches hung down, reaching for the water.
Gray's hand slipped from Natsu's as he went behind the huge trunk, coming back, holding a huge tire wheel. Natsu stared at the swing and then at Gray. The ice mage called him over, offering him his hand. The dragon slayer slowly approached the tire, un-sure what was expected from him.
Gray helped Natsu onto the swing; he pulled down the hood of the jacket before stepping into the tire. Natsu was faced towards him; the raven head knelt down and removed Natsu's socks, as the slayer had never thought to put shoes on his feet. Gray smiled as he pulled away the wet socks; he stood back up, stepping out the tire. Natsu turned to see what he was doing, Gray pulled off his own shoes along with his socks. Before climbing on to the tire, behind Natsu. The slayer trembled from Gray being so close to him, his stomach was filled with tiny butterflies, his mouth ran dry as Gray rested his head on his shoulder. Natsu looked at him, their cheeks brushed together causing Natsu to blush.
"Hold the rope" Gray instructed, whispering in the slayers ear.
Natsu did as he was instructed, his feet hung just above the cold, wet grass. Gray wrapped his arms around him before pushing them both out towards the lake.
Natsu closed his eyes as the swing glided over the water.
"Don't be scared, I've got you, you won't fall" Gray whispered.
Natsu opened his eyes to see the full beauty of the lake; fireflies were swirling around, just under the tree's long branches, tiny fish swimming just under the calm water, the wind brushed through the slayers pink hair. His breathe was taken away as the swing pulled back towards the tree, Gray held him close.
Is this a dream? This is too perfect to be real, quick wake up before you fall for him deeper.
"Put your feet in the water" Gray whispered, snapping the slayer out of thought.
Natsu looked down at the water; Gray wrapped his legs over Natsu's, bringing their feet together. Gray guided their toes into the cold water, Natsu watched as his foot brushed through the perfect blue liquid. Gray brushed his foot alongside Natsu's; the ice mage was so close to him, it seemed Gray wanted to feel every part of him.
"I come here to be alone" Gray turned his head so he could look into the slayers dark, green eyes.
Natsu's cheeks turned a deeper red as he lost himself in Gray's stare.
"But I wanted to show you, I wanted to share it with you…so it could be ours" Gray explained.
Share it with me, what does that mean? I can't think straight, his eyes are to perfect, I think I'm falling…
"Can it be our place?" Gray asked
"I-I…Uhh…"
YES, say yes…! Speak, open your mouth and tell him yes, I want it to be ours, anything you want Gray, yes, yes, yes
Gray smiled, looking at Natsu's blushed, wide eyed face. He brought his hand up, placing it on the slayers cheek; he slowly closed his eyes and leaned forward.
His…his…his…his…
Gray slowly pressed his perfect, soft, pink lips against Natsu's. The slayer body trembled, making his lips shake against Gray's, he felt his head become lighter as his eyes slowly shut. He lifted his trembling arm up, his hand grabbing Gray's white shirt.
The swing swayed side to side, the pair were lost within one another, in the perfect moment, of falling in love.
I love you, I love you, I love you Gray…
