Rainy Dreams

Chapter 2

Last night was like a dream, at least for Natsu it was. He can't really comprehend what happened last night. He couldn't even tell if he was awake or if it was just a dream that his mind projected.

That "dream" was constantly in his mind. It was the only thing he was thinking of since he woke up this morning.

Right now he's in the middle of class, but he isn't paying any attention to what the teacher is saying.

"Class dismissed." The teacher said.

That seemed to snap Natsu out of his daze. As soon as he was out of the classroom door, he first went to his locker to put his stuff in. After that he went to the cafeteria to meet with his friends.

Once he got to the cafeteria, he scanned the room, finally spotting his group of friends sitting at their usual spot. He immediately went to them and sat down across from Gray, right next to Levy who's reading a book instead of even touching her food..

"Hey guys." Natsu said, greeting them.

"Hey." They said, simultaneously.

After a couple minutes they started to notice something strange about him. They inspected Natsu for a bit more and noticed that something looked off about him.

"Are you sick?" Gray suddenly asked.

"What do you mean? I am perfectly healthy." Natsu stated.

"Well you don't have your food and you don't look like your usual annoying self. So are you sick or something?" Gray said.

"I just don't feel like eating ok?!" Natsu exclaimed. He was really starting to get annoyed with Gray.

What was he even talking about? Here he was just minding his own business and he had the audacity to talk to him like that.

"It's official you have a problem." Gray stated.

"What're you talking about?" Natsu asked.

"Well every time you have something on your mind you lose your appetite, just basically you become the total opposite of yourself when you have a problem." Gray said.

"Well I don't have a problem. And even if I do what makes you think I'll share it with the likes of you?!!" Natsu exclaimed, standing up from his seat and resting his clenched hands on the table, Gray also reciprocating his actions.

They just stood there, eyebrows furrowed, hands clenched into fists glaring at each other as if they were having an internal war with each other.

"Hey I'm trying to help you here!!" Gray retorted.

"Well I don't need it, so just piss off!!" Natsu exclaimed, banging his hands on the table, startling the girls who were just watching those two.

And with that he stormed out of the cafeteria and headed to his favorite place in the whole school.

After Natsu left their table they didn't mutter a word and Gray was still pissed at the attitude that Natsu had just shown.

"I'll go talk to him." Levy said, closing her book, standing up from their table and leaving the cafeteria to go after Natsu.

"Oh, Gray, you should really stop rubbing salt on the wound, that's a bad habit of yours." Erza calmly said, her eyes closed while taking a bite of her strawberry cake.

"What does that mean?!" Gray asked.

"That's for me to know and you to find out." Erza said, finally finishing her strawberry cake and leaving the cafeteria, probably going to the student council room.
