Cold Love (Gray Fullbuster x female reader)

Chapter 4 - The next journey begins

(You're POV, a few hours later)

"I told Gray my story about my parents." I told Lisanna.

"What? Why him first?" She asked curiously.

"I donno. He started telling me all about his parents and what happened to them and then just kind of expected me to tell mine. But I guess it was good to get it off my chest at least once. And his story isn't really all that different from mine I guess. So he can relate. I don't need pity. Ya know?" I explained.

"I do! I'm glad you found someone you were comfortable sharing that with. It's good to let things out every once in a while." I agreed. "So.. um.. now that you've shown the guild your magic.. are you gonna- you know.." Lisanna asked cautiously.

"Go look for them. Yeah. I just feel like I can't sit around anymore. It eats me up every day not knowing if they are dead or alive. I think if I sat around in this guildhall for one more day I would burst into flames." I chuckled a bit. "Plus I need a break from all these idiots!" We both laughed.

"So now that Gray knows what happens to your parents, are you gonna tell him you're leaving?"

"I thought about it while we were talking. But I think it's best we keep it between us until I'm gone. I really don't want any interference."

"I understand. You just want to leave me to pick up your pieces!" She rolled her eyes sarcastically.

"Seems like you have your work cut out for you! Good luck!" I smiled brightly. A slight sweat drop appeared on her forehead and she glared at the floor.

"Sounds like so much fun."

------------------------------------------------------------

"Please be safe. Don't die. And come back as soon as possible!" Lisanna begged.

"I will. I really don't know how long I'll be gone for. But I promise I will return no matter what." Lisanna embraced me in a tight hug before wishing me luck. I turned and left the guildhall. It was the middle of the night, so it was a bit chilly, and completely silent. Not a person to be seen for miles.

The only 2 people that know I'm leaving is Lisanna and the master. I hope this doesn't cause too much trouble for them. I told master to not let anyone know Lisanna knows unless she tells them herself. Because I also told the both of them to give the most absolute vague details as possible whenever anyone asked where I was, so it's next to impossible to come after me. I continue on into the night, ready for whatever is ahead of me.

(3rd POV)

"Good morning Lisanna. (Y/N) is always here by now for breakfast. Do you know where she could be?" Gray interrupted her conversation with Mira as he approached them. Lisanna didn't address him for a moment, until she turned around in her seat at a booth to face him nervously.

"Um, no, I haven't seen her yet. Maybe she isn't feeling well and is sleeping in?"

"Oh. I hope she's alright. Let me know if you see her." Gray said before walking away. Lisanna turned back to Mira. Immediately she knew what Mira was about to ask.

"What do you know."

"Whattttt? Noo nothingggg!" She said, scratching the back of her neck, beginning to sweat.

"Whatever. You don't have to tell me. But when everyone else finds out you know something, they are gonna want answers."

"You won't tell anybody, will you?" Lisanna asked nervously.

"Nah, of course not. But they'll figure it out sooner or later. You aren't really the best at hiding things."

Lisanna sighed. "Well they'll figure it out sooner or later either way, so it doesn't really matter."

"Okay then seriously spill it." Mira said rolling her eyes. Lisanna shifted uncomfortably.

"You really can't tell anyone yet. No one is suspicious. She... She went to go look for her parents. She has no idea how long she'll be gone, and my guess is she won't be back any time soon." Lisanna explained.

"Wow that girl has some balls. She's gonna be in a lot of trouble when master finds out."

"That's the thing. That's why she showed everyone what kind of magic she uses. Master wanted to make sure she was strong enough to go out on her own before he gave her permission. He deemed her well fit to travel alone, so she went."

"I can't believe that old bastard really let her go! Maybe he'd let me go on a solo trip..." Mira smirked.

"Don't get any ideas. Master doesn't know what happened to her parents, therefore he feels he has no right to stop her from going. I think it should be the other way around though. If he has no idea what she's getting into and the danger she could be putting herself in, she shouldn't be allowed to go. But it's not my decision to make I guess." Lisanna babbled on nervously.

She didn't want (Y/N) to leave, but she knew there was no stopping her. If master gave her permission then it would happen no matter what she said. All she could do was try to be a supportive friend.

"I think it's pretty badass of her to do that. If I were her I'd probably have everyone throw me a going away party, not keep it a secret."

"And how many people would want to go with you if they all knew?"

".....Good point there. You win." Mira scoffed. Lisanna laughed and Mira joined. Maybe it won't be so hard for everyone to come around to the idea of her leaving.

Oh so slowly getting there.... keeping baring with me!! Do we think Gray will be as chill as she hopes??
