"Flame brain where did you run off to?!" The annoyed dark hair boy bellowed. He entered the office space of the young guild master only to see him space off more than usual. "Are you even paying attention anymore?"
"Huh?" Was the response of the absent minded pinkette who laid back in his seat staring out the window.
Gray groan in irritation and spun his chair around to face him. "What has gotten into you lately. You haven't been doing your guild master duties lately and that slack is really showing. Some of the guys out here are on the border line of leaving this place and going else where like Sabertooth for example. Do you not know how bad that'll be on us, to have former members who could leak our information out?!"
Natsu glared at his best friend before turning back around to the window, sadness washing over his mind. The guild his father had run all these years will be for nothing if he didn't start acting right again. But then again his chest will start to ache over the blonde who's presences seem to control his heart.
"You know I'm your friend first before comrade. What's wrong with you lately?" The dark hair man asked his tone softening at the site of his friend.
'Maybe I don't have to keep her a secret from everyone and she could be here more and then I could be able to concentrate more.' The pinkette reasoned with himself. He knew it sounded selfish but for once he wanted to do something for himself. 'Baby steps first.' He thought looking toward his friend who stood beside him with a worried face.
"Gray." He began with a sigh watching everything happening on the outside.
"Yeah man?" Gray pressed on.
"I-I met this girl a while back and I been seeing her for a while now." Natsu let whatever sentences that were formulate out not sure if they made any sense. "We hung out a whole lot and..."
He trailed off when he spotted a couple in the far distance holding hands as they walked, both smiling and the girl clinging to the boys arm lovingly. He only imagined if Lucy would be the same with him.
Gray furrowed his brows trying to understand what his friend ranted on about that has him choked up. The pink hair man he knew was a idiot in most cases but with a female who wasn't his play thing of the night or day. He knew this was far different.
Natsu turned his chair to face his friend with a pained expression on his face. "I-I think I'm in love."
