When the pinkette woke up, the first thing he saw was met a firm chest. 'What the hell?' He looked up to see Gray, who was still asleep, peacefully. He then remembered the festival then feeling very sick and weak, and then asking Gray to stay with him. 'Because I didn't want to be alone' is all he thought, then he remembered Gray is now his boyfriend and his checks adorned a tint of pink. He tried to get up but he could t. He looked down to see two arms wrapped around his waist. He blushed a deeper shade of pink and started to struggle, trying to get out of the, somewhat, embarrassing, position. His struggling only caused Gray to wake up and their eyes met for a moment. Then he leaned down and kissed the pinkette gently, who kissed back almost instantly. When they broke from the kiss, Natsu face was a deep red.
"Mourning Pinky," Gray said. Natsu growled at him and continued to try to break free from his grip. Gray then say up, pulling Maysu with him, "Why don't we just stay like this?" Natsu glared at him.
"Let me go!" Which Gray suddenly did, causing Natsu to stumble a d fall of the bed. He landed with an "Omfh!" right on his abandoned back pack. Natsu tried to casually but quickly, hide it under his bed, then looked at Gray seeing him looking some where else. But Gray did see Natsu shove something under the bed, but pretended not to notice.
The pinkette got up, glared at Gray, grabbed a change of clothes and went off to shower. When Gray heard the door shut he quickly looked under the bed, only seeing a black back pack, which he grabbed. Placing it on the bed, Gray slowly unzipped the back pack to reveal its contents.
Natsu came out of the shower, feeling refreshed in his orange muscle shirt and black, knee high pants, with his signature scarf around his neck. He stretched as he entered his room and froze at the sight of an angry Gray.
"What the hell is this Natsu?!" Gray hissed, lifting up the book Natsu took from the dark library. Natsu was once again, momentarily hypnotized by the book, he just started at it until Gray brought him out of his thoughts.
"Natsu!" Said boy flinched at the other for yelling, he was always afraid of yelling since his mom.
"I-it's a b-book." He knew that wasn't the answer Gray was looking for but he didn't want him to be furious with him for sneaking around at night.
"Natsu, you know what I mean! WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE A BOOK FROM THE DARK LIBRARY?!" The teen flinched again, he was a little scared but he knew, in his innocent heart, that Gray would never het him.
"M-me and Lucy s-snuck i-into the d-dark l-library. B-but while w-we were e-escaping I s-saw this b-book and I just couldn't leave it."
"YOU WHAT?! YOU SNUCK INTO THE DARK LIBRARY?! NATSU-" Gray saw that Natsu now was shacking, damn, did he scare him that bad? He knew getting mad would solve nothing so he took a deep breath and continued.
"Natsu, why were you in a dark library? Why didn't you just ask me to get you a book?" Natsu wasn't shaking anymore, seeing as Gray calmed down. But the boy looked down at the floor, he wanted to figure out the answer by himself but, now he has to ask him. 'Damn it'
"Gray, how are you both light and dark? And don't give me any of that 'special' shit, I want to know the truth." He said, crossing his arms over his chest. Gray muttered something incoherent.
"It's a curse, given to my family generations ago from some old hag. It makes my skin cold, to me and to others. If I hold someone too long, I can freeze them to death in my arms." gray let his words sink in. Natsu looked shocked at Gray then ran into his arms.
"But you have never felt cold to me Gray. Your always so warm~," the boy practically purred. Gray smiled softy, he was slightly shocked at his boyfriends actions, but then again, the pinkette has been surprising him since he met him.
"Yeah, I don't get it either..." Gray mumbled into the met of pink hair he currently nuzzled his nose into. The teen didn't completely know why, so it wasn't a complete lie, he just knew the majority of the truth.
The two walked to and just cuddled together on the couch. They sat there, Gray laying on his back, watching the TV lucrimia, with Natsu, hugging him like a teddy bear, and fell asleep on his chest. Gray was never really one for cuddling but if its with his little pinkette, he'd be snuggling all day.
Two hours of bliss passed, and Gray dozed off as well. They both jumped awake from a *ring*, Natsu sluggishly picked up his phone.
He yawned, "Hello?" He said in a sluggish, mourning voice.
"Natsu Dragneel?" A feminine voice asked.
"Yeah?" Natsu laughed as Gray playfully nipped his ear.
"This is Nurse Nagisa, from Magnolia Central Hospital, I regret to inform you that your father, Igneel has been involved in an accident."
"W-what? An ac-accident?" Natsu repeated, wide eyed, not wanting to believe the woman. Gray looked shocked as well, he could hear the nurse fine because she was practically yelling. The taller teen caught the phone as it fell from Natsu's grasp.
"Y-yes, thank you for informing us, have a good day." Gray chocked out, he quickly hung up and hugged the pinkette tightly as the smaller teen started shaking.
Natsu's face was blank as he shook in Gray's arms. Gray swore hours passed while, in reality, only half an hour passed. Gray collected his thoughts ad turned the the pinkette in his arms.
"Come on Natsu, we need to go to the hospital to see your dad." He said in a gentle voice. If it hadn't been for their current situation, Natsu would have never known that soft voice belonged to Gray. He nodded with a blank expression on his face, and allowed Gray to lead him out of his home. Gray had grabbed the key Natsu had used the night before he locked up the house.
Magnolia Central Hospital wasn't far away from Natsu's home, about five blocks away, give or take, mostly give. The hospital was fairly new, it opened about eight months ago, so the place looked all high-tech and spotless. As soon as you entered, you were surrounded by the sunlight that shined through the endless, tall glass windows. To the far right was a little cafe and tables with people seated, waiting for their loved ones. To the far left was a food court, for guests who came to visit, and past the food court was the emergency room doors but who knew what was beyond those doors. Behind the reception desk were several elevators that lead to the rooms above which house the patients.
Gray spoke to the two women there, both of which enjoyed flirting gwith him. He finally got the information out of them, relieved two visitors passes, and turned to his little lost pinkette who was currently staring out the window. Gray dragged him to the elevator and pressed floor '5'. There was an uncomfortable silence surrounding g the two as they went up, Gray put the visitor stickers on his and Natsu's chests. With a 'ding' they arrived on floor five and Gray talked to a nurse finding where Natsu's father's room was.
Once they arrived at room 5D31, Natsu and Gray stepped into the darkened room. The two saw a red headed, muscular man, with bandages wrapped around his left arm, and what looked to be his entire chest, scratches and bruises adorned his body. Next to him was a pole type thing that held bags of liquids, one even held blood which made Natsu cringe. Bags were connected by wires and when followed lead to the arm of Igneel Dragneel. A computer was behind the man, with strange charts on it and data. The room was fairly large, it had its own bathroom, shower included, a sink to wash your hands entering and exiting the room, the patients bed, across the bed was a large TV mounted on the wall with several shelves, a coat closet, and a curtain to give the patient privacy when you enter.
Natsu walked up to the side of the bed and looked at his fathers sleeping form. 'What happened dad?' Natsu thought as he looked over his father some more. He winced slightly at the state his father was in, he looked like he was beaten, cut and then beaten again. If Natsu ever found who did this to his father, he wouldn't hesitate to kill them on the spot.
Igneel was a kind man, though his appearance suggest otherwise, he was really a nice, friendly man. He was friends with everyone, so who would do such a horrible thing to his father? Natsu allowed tears to escape his eyes and turned to Gray with a silent plea. The teen nodded and left the room, allowing the boy some time with his father, alone.
When Gray left he found a nurse looking over the clip board outside of Igneel's room and she checked several things off. Gray asked what the woman thought his condition was, and his eyes widened at her response.
"This was no 'accident', someone deliberately tried to kill Igneel Dragneel."
Tali: Sorry guys for taking forever! But I got this up, ne? I'll be posting more since my sister is getting out of the hospital on Monday so that's good!
