My Dear Brother (Gray Fullbuster X Male Reader)

36: Protecting Magnolia

Gems's P.O.V

Everything was black, I couldn't see anything but I could feel everything. I could feel a lot of pain in my body from my battle with Freed. Everything was paining.

But I could feel warmth around my right palm, as if someone was holding it. And that feeling made me feel safe.

I slowly opened my eyes and closed them shut when the light was making me feel that I'd go blind. I again opened my eyes. My body was paining so much, especially my back, that's where Freed hit me with his sword, which was sheathed.

I looked to my right and saw Gray holding my hand. Gray was right in front of my eyes, wounded and injured from various places but he was safe.

“G-Gray...” I mumbled and he immediately turned his head towards me.

“Gems! You're awake!” Gray said happily, both of us were injured. I tried to get up but it was too painful. “Gemsie...” Gray mumbled as he helped me get up and made me sit besides him.

We were in narrow lane that are between two houses. Gray was sitting while resting his back against the wall, making me sit besides him. He still had my hand in his.

“Gray, you're safe...” I mumbled as I immediately wrapped my arms around him, hugging him. “I was worried...” I mumbled in his ears, my voice was shaky. I could feel his arms around me too. Oh they were tight.

“Gemsie what happened? Why did you leave the guild hall?? And how did you get injured?” Gray asked me so many questions at the same time. I know he's gonna scold me.

“While we were at the guild hall, they showed us the status updates of the battles that were going on amongst the guild members, everyone was going down one by one and then they knocked you out as well.” I told Gray. Gray was still holding my hand as he listened to me.

I told him how Laxus's projection appeared and how they trapped both Natsu and Gajeel at the guild hall as well.

“When I saw they defeated you, I knew they did some dirty work to beat you. I was worried about you and just couldn't help it and I left the guild hall to find you.” I told Gray while looking down.

“Oh Gemsie...” Gray looked disappointed but he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer. “You worry way too much about me.” He said while pecking my forehead. “But how did you get injured?” he asked.

“I was trying to find you around the town, just when I got caught in an enchantment and had to fight Freed and he defeated me with ease.” I spoke while looking down.

Gray pampered me.

“I did everything that you taught me during our training sessions, but he was always one step ahead of me.” I said as I looked at him and then at the ground. “I really feel like I failed you.” I added, my confidence was shattered.

“Don't beat yourself up, you fell once and now you're gonna get up and we'll train even harder. You didn't fail me. I am proud of you, always.” Gray immediately said as he made me look at him. I was about to cry.

“Gray...” I mumbled.

Gray immediately pecked me on my lips and hugged me. I love him so much. And the fact that he still had his clothes on, oh he listens to me.

“Its okay, we'll train harder.” Gray said and I nodded with a teary smile.

“I love you.” I said and wrapped both my arms around him. Gray hissed in pain. I forgot he was more wounded.

“I love you more Gemsie.” he said while being in pain. His facial expressions told me. I know exactly what I needed do. My healing magic came handy for situations like this.
