-Liz-

I glared out the window as the tram passed through the countryside. We'd finished the job, collected the reward, and Erin and I will be promoted to S-Class wizards once we get back, but I didn't care. I was still pissed at Gray. He knows I can take care of myself, so then why the hell did he keep freezing all my opponents?

"Aghh!"

I yelled in frustration as the car door slid open.

"You okay?"

I turned to see Erin standing in the doorway.

"Just peachy."

I said as she closed the door after her and sat across from me.

"You're lying."

She said and I sighed before turning and looking back out the window.

"What happened while we were separated?"

She asked and I turned to look at her. She sincerely looked like she cared.

'Always caring about her friends.'

I thought with a sigh.

"We got stopped, turns out our driver was a member of the guild we'd been sent to eliminate. We got surrounded and fights broke out. Natsu was fighting alongside Erza, Happy with Carla, and Wendy with me."

I said and Erin nodded.

"What about Gray?"

She asked and I suppressed a growl.

"He was by himself."

I said and Erin's eyes widened at the tone in my voice.

"Okay, then what?"

She asked and I growled as I told her.

"I was protecting Wendy and a lot of mages kept coming at me. You know I can handle myself."

I said and she nodded.

"Yeah. Everyone in the guild knows that."

She said and I clenched my hands together.

"Apparently not, because Gray wouldn't stop interfering with my fights!"

I yelled and Erin looked at me confused.

"What do you mean?"

She asked.

"I mean my boyfriend wouldn't stop freezing all my fuckin' opponents!"

I snapped and Erin's eyes widened in shock.

"I'm sure it wasn't as bad as you say."

She said and I glared at my best friend.

"Yeah? Every time a mage got close he'd fuckin' freeze them! Every fuckin' time. You telling me it's not that bad? You know how much I like fighting, and you know how much I hate people interfering with my fights."

I said and she sighed before shaking her head.

"I'm sure you're just reading too far into it."

She said and I glared at her. She was not taking his side on this.

-Gray-

'Maybe Erin will be able to figure out why Liz's so pissed at me.'

I thought as I looked away from the car door. Lucy, Erza, Wendy, Happy, Carla, and Natsu were all looking at the glass of water Erin had asked for. I followed their eyes and froze when I saw the water inside the glass repeatedly ripple and thrash wildly within the small space it was given.

"That is definitely not caused by the motion of the tram."

Natsu said with a small hint of fear in his voice. Wendy had preformed her Troia on Natsu, so he didn't have to worry about his motion sickness.

He was right. I knew what, or more correctly who, was causing it and I wasn't so sure I wanted to know what the cause of her anger was anymore. The water suddenly shot up into the air, making all of us jump, and we heard Liz's voice from the car next door.

"He froze every single one! Every one! I could understand if it was one or two, but no, he froze all of them! He doesn't fuckin' trust me to be able to take care of myself!"

I froze as I realized why Liz was so pissed at me.

"Gray, what exactly did you do?"

Erza asked.

"I-"

I started, but got cut off.

"He cares about you, so of course he's gonna do whatever he can do keep you safe!"

Erin yelled and I blushed as I realized they were yelling about me and Liz's relationship.

"I don't give a damn how much he's worried about me, that still doesn't give him the right to freeze all my opponents! I don't need some guy trying to control my life just because he want to try and protect me! If that's the way he feels then I don't want to be with hi-"

Liz was suddenly cut off and we heard a loud smacking sound. The water in the cup stilled, then there was only silence.

After a while we heard Erin's voice again, but this time it was out in the hall.

"You should watch what you do and say while upset Liz, 'cuz you might ruin something that can't be fixed. Try calming down and thinking about things from Gray's perspective. Talk to me when you've calmed down."

Erin said before the car door opened and she walked in.

"Erin? Are you okay?"

Wendy asked and she nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

She said before going and sitting by the window. I looked from the door, to Erin, then back to the door before standing up and heading for the car Liz was in.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Erin said, but I ignored her and walked over to the other car. I opened the door to see Liz sitting on the seat staring wide-eyed into space. I sat across from her and noticed a hand-sized red mark on the side of her face.

'Ouch Erin.'

I thought as I raised my hand and gently pressed it to her abused cheek. I used my ice magic to take a bit of the sting out of it and Liz's hand closed around mine when I tried to pull it away. I looked her in the eyes and saw she had tears in them.

"I'm sorry."

She whispered before her tears spilled over and fell down her face.

"It's okay."

I said with a smile before pulling her across the gap towards me and wrapped her in a hug. She buried her face into my neck and I rubbed her back soothingly.

"It's really okay. I shouldn't have taken your opponents. I knew you could have taken care of yourself, but I couldn't help but worry."

I said and she pulled away to look at me.

"I know that now, but I'm still sorry."

She said and I frowned when I saw more tears well up in her eyes.

'Damn. I can't stand to see a girl cry. What can I do to make her stop?'

I thought before an idea came to me.

I leaned in and pressed my lips against hers. She froze and I smiled at her as I pulled away. Her tears were gone and there was a light blush on her face.

"What?"

She asked and my smiled widened as I leaned in and kissed her again.

-Natsu-

"Do you think they managed to make up?"

I asked and everyone stayed silent.

"I'm sure they did. I can tell Liz isn't as upset anymore."

Erin said and I nodded. One of them calmed down, but now the other one is pissed. It's scary when they're upset.
