Gray's POV

"Lucy is my ex and she hates me because I hurt her and I was abandoned by my father about a week ago, so the wounds in my heart are still fresh.. And it just fucking hurts when you realized that your life has become worst than hell.."

I lost my words when he told me that..I can see pain in his eyes eventhough he's trying his best not to cry... I still have a lot of questions like 'why did you and that Lucy girl broke up?' Or 'why did your dad abandon you?' but I decided not to push it deeper cause it will be like forcing him to remember something very terrible from his past.. and I know how painful that would be..

"Uhmm.. then what happened to your lips??"

"oh this?" he pointed the cut from his buttom lip " When I was walking down the hallway, I got hit by a soccer ball on the face and I fell on the floor.. but I'll be alright..."

"What kind of idiot would play soccer in the hallway??"

"Well.. they did that on purpose..I am used to it anyway so its okay.."

"How could you be okay?! thats bullying!"

"Seriously Gray.. its okay.. students experience bullying specially in their highschool life"

"Well I dont! if youre gonna let them bully you.. youre making them feel superior and arrogant.. you should atleast protect yourself.."

"its just a small cut.. I've experience far more worst than this.."

Then after that, we both stayed silent. I really dont know what to say. I mean a lot of questions are in my head but I dont want to asked them.. And yet it still bugs me.. I just hate it when I become too curious about something..

"Hey Natsu can I ask you something.. but its okay even if you dont want to answer it.."

"What is it Gray??"

Here goes..

"Why did you and Lucy broke up?"

"That? I thinks its because our relationship didnt worked out like what we thought it would. But I was the one who end the relationship thats why she hates me. After all she did all the effort in building our relationship"

"Wait! She courted you??!!"

"Uhm.. yeah.."

"Wow.. thats very weird and persistent of her.. no wonder she hates you.. I- I mean.. she just maybe.. uhmm"

"Its okay.. it is my fault she become like that."

"Sorry.. I regret saying the last part.."

"Its fine.. are there anything else you want to ask me about?"

"well, there is one last question.."

Natsu's POV

"Well, there is one last question.."

"Okay.. what is it??"

He hesitate for a minute there. Well I already know what kind of question his gonna ask and I'm not so sure if I can answer that..

"Why an earth did your own father abandoned you??"

I knew it.. I took a deep breath then answer his question..

"Its because he doesnt like me or maybe because I didnt turned out as the son he thought I would be.."

"So all of this shit happened cause you let down their expectations??"

"Y-yeah.. that kind of summarize some it.."

"Dude thats fucked up!"

"I know.."

Then we both remained quiet again, but it was a comfortable silence. Like he's giving me some time to relaxed my thoughts, and also he's trying to absorb the information I gave him about me. The expression on his face still couldnt believe what happened to me. Well he still doesnt know the complete story about what happened. But I just wish he wouldnt go deeper about it ..

And they say sharing your problems with others will help you lessen the pain youre feeling. And it sort of help me but what I dont understand is why am I sharing my burden to this idiot! I mean I just met him this morning and our first meeting didnt end up so well .. so why him??

Erza and Sting are there for me but I never actually share anything to them..Well those two already know me and they have great instincts on guessing things in this world specially if its about me.. But they are just waiting for me to open up my emotions to them.. So why am I even trusting this guy??

I could feel him standing up but I remain my position sitting on the floor.. Then all of the sudden, I could feel him patting my head, when I looked up I saw him smiling at me.

"You know you dont have to put a lot of effort on impressing others or acting like the way they want you to be.. All of us has differences but that what makes us special. So dont feel bad about it cause people always judge.. just be yourself okay?"

His smile, it makes me all warm inside. And all the nice things he said.. I just couldnt help it but smile. Then tears suddenly fall on my eyes..

"H-hey N-natsu.. d-dont c-cry.. I'm trying to comfort you.."

He started panicking again.. he looks really stupid but it made me chuckle. I hurriedly wipe my tears and gave him my biggest grin.. I havent done this a for long time..

"No stupid! I'm just happy.. that was really comforting.. thanks"

Then he calms down and ruffles my hair some more..

"Will you quit doing that!"

I said irritated and trying my best to remove his hand on my hair.. but he just laugh and his laugh were like music to my ears.. I immediately blush but they faded when Gray put both of his hands on my hair and purposely ruined my hair some more.. and it makes me more irritated..

"I SAID QUIT IT! What is it with you and my hair?!"

"I'm sorry but I just cant help it.. their so soft and besides its pink"

"Oh Shut up!"

I give him a glare then I stand up and headed to the door..Then he started following me. He was still laughing though. I was still irritated from what he did but a small smile has carve on my face because of him..
