*****Notice*****

Hey guys, I know I normally post people reviews here so I can answer any questions before the next chapter but not today, they are at the bottom. So me and my friend, Canada, were talking and I realized that my beginning chapters weren't bad, but they didnt really go with my whole 'light, dark' thing that I know you guys expected. I was planning to do something like this and with Canada's help I can finally work on this plot. So say goodbye to all the cute fluff, and hello to the real plot. Will I not add anymore fluff? No, I will but just now here is my plot~! I hope you like it after several chapter of fluff :3

~~~~ and thank you to my new beta reader Canada~! ~~~~

The nurse explained that Igneel was stable, for now. But he was more likely to get better than not. After the nurse explained more about Igneel's health to Gray, a police man came up to Gray.

"Hello, I'm Sheriff Kazaki, from the Magnolia Police Department, I'm here for the case of Igneel Dragneel."

"Yeah, you can speak to me."

"You are?"

"Gray Fullbuster, I'm a close family friend."

"Well nice to meet you Gray, I'm sorry about this happening, we believe he was attacked, by several people..." The man ended in almost a whisper.

"What?" Gray was wide eyed and shocked, he and Natsu talked about his dad a little bit and he didn't sound like the kind of man to get into trouble.

"We believe it was a dark gang that attacked him... They also left a note, for Natsu Dragneel. You look like a strong boy, could you please watch over his son? He may be in danger." The man handed Gray a crinkled note, "If you get any ideas or something that could help us solve the case, please call." Gray nodded and the man left. He turned his attention to the note.

'We know where you went, lighty, stay on your side of town, or more people will get hurt, and give us back what's ours'

Gray stared wide eyed at the note. 'What the hell did you do Natsu?' The raven-haired teen thought as he turned and entered the room which held both Dragneels. He turned to see Natsu sitting in a chair, beside the bed that Igneel laid on. The pinkette smiled softly at Gray, but that vanished when he saw the expression the boy wore.

"What did the nurse say?"

"The nurse said he is stable, for now. The police said this was an attack on your dads life." Gray paused, he let his words sink in then continued, "does this mean anything Natsu?" He asked while handing the teen the note. Natsu grabbed the note and his eyes widened as he read it, and retread it. The note fell from his grasp and slowly drifted to the floor, while the boys eyes started to water and he began to shake.

"T-this i-is m-my fa-fault Gr-Gray..." Natsu whispered, his tears finally falling. Gray grabbed Natsu and hugged the boy, trying to comfort him as best he could.

"Shhh, Natsu, don't cry... How is this your fault, did you hurt your dad? No you didn't." Natsu clung onto Grays shirt, which he somehow was still wearing.

"B-but m-me an-and Lu-Lucy w-went t-to t-the d-dark li-library..." He held back a sob, "W-we... I-I t-took a d-dark bo-book... I-I d-didn't th-think so-something l-like th-this w-would ha-happen... I-I'm s-so s-sorry..." Natsu started sobbing into Gray's shirt, and Gray rubbed comforting circles on the boys back.

The boy finally calmed down enough and the two headed to Natsu's home. Gray sat the both of them down on the pinkette's bed, Natsu held safely to Graus chest.

"G-Gray, a-are th-they g-gonna g-get m-me t-too?"

Gray growled and hugged Natsu tighter, "No, I won't let them take you Natsu, don't worry." After a few minutes the smaller teen finally fell into a deep slumber. Gray watched over him for a few minutes, making sure the boy was okay. Then he carefully got up, without waking the boy, and gently laid him down. He kissed the temple of the sleeping boy, who hummed in response. "I won't let them take you..." He muttered as he left the home and locked it, stepping into the afternoon light.

The two decided to meet at the fountain Natsu fell into, the time they were at the marketplace last, two days of comforting a crying boy, later. Here Gray was, right on time, looking for his favorite pinkette. Since the attack on the boys father, Gray decided he would take care of Natsu and male sure he is safe. When his eyes scanned over the opening, Gray began to worry. When the pinkette walked into the clearing, Gray calmed down, that is until he saw who with.

"Sting," he growled. The blonde had his arm over Natsu's shoulder, he seemed to wear a forced smile, as he looked down at the smiling, talking Natsu. Gray began walking towards the two and Natsu's eyes seemed to sparkle.

"Gray!" Natsu yelled as he flung himself into the boys arms, nearly toppling the two. "We were just talking about you! Right Sting?" Sting just rolled his eyes and Natsu huffed, but smiled.

"Let's go to Fairy Tail, it's Spring so Mira's gonna make her special strawberry cheese cake~! Come on!" Natsu grinned, pulling the two teens behind him. With Natsu leading, Gray gave Sting a death glare that seemed to say 'he is mine' while sting sent him a challenging one that seemed to say 'so what?' The two gave each other death glares, scaring poor innocent people that walked by. This happened all the way to the Fairy Tail cafe, while Natsu, oblivious to the two, grinned the whole time.

When they arrived, Mira gave Natsu knowing looks and is served them to a booth. Natsu ordered strawberry cheese cake for them and strawberry juice. It was fun for the three, they all laughed, and except for the moments Gray and Sting glared at each other, they all had a good time. After their time

together was up, Natsu gave Sting a goodbye hug which made Gray a little mad. So when the pinkette walked over to him, he kissed him, glared at Sting again, and walked off.

When the couple got to Natsu's home, they both went straight to Natsu's bed. They laid down, grabbed notebooks and papers and put the dusty book Natsu took from the library, on the bed. The two agreed they would read the thing and see why or was so important. Gray opened the book as Natsu started at it like it was some sort of spectical. Then the two began to read side by side, word for word.

After several hours of researching the two were only through half of the hug leather book! The two went over the notes they jotted down, which were very similar. They pondered over them for a while until Natsu snapped his fingers as an idea hit him.

"The darks are preparing for something...but what?" Gray shrugged, "I can't think of anything at the moment." Natsu sighed in defeat, "at least we have more today than yesterday... Gah! We still have the other half to go over tomorrow!" Gray pat Natsu's head as he got up and began to leave the home. Just as he reached the front door he was tackled by Natsu, or more like he pounced on him.

"Gray wait! Tomorrow bring your stuff, you're staying over tomorrow!" Gray looked at Natsu and saw a hint of fear on his eyes. Gray chuckled, how could his pinky be afraid and he say no?

"Alright, alright, now get off me." Natsu got off Gray lap, stood up and helped his boyfriend to his knees. When Gray got up he pulled the pinkette onto his arms and gave him a chasete kiss.

"Night Pinky," he purred into Natsu ear, who shivered slightly. Gray smiled and went into the night, leaving a smiling pinkette in the doorway.
