Chapter 24

A/N : "So sorry for the late update... It took me a while to get motivated again and also overcome my laziness XD"

Gray's POV

The sudden boom of music coming from the TV has cause me to woken up from my sleep..
Another random movie was being played and I'm quiet surprise that Natsu didnt moved an inch from the loud sound.

I carefully stretch my arms as I raise my fists in the air, I yawn for too long that a tear had formed on my eye.. I quickly wipe it off then looked at Natsu who is still sleeping on my lap..

He must be really tired..

I small smile had form on my lips then I brush my fingers on his hair... I really dont know why but I think I'm attracted to his hair.. And not in a weird way.. Its just they're so soft eventhough they're spiky since his hair was like all heading in each different directions.. And not to mention its pink! I mean seriously have you ever seen someone that is born with natural pink hair?!

Natsu suddenly mumbled some words that I didnt quiet understand, then a single tear had manage to escape from his closed eyes.. I hurriedly catch it and wipe it off his face.. I heave a sigh as I continued to pat his head.. my mom usually do this to me when I was a kid, and it kinda sent comforting vibes to me.. And I was so glad it worked since Natsu's expression has become peaceful again..

Wait?! how long was I asleep?

I hurriedly looked at the clock to find out that it was already 10:30.. I thought Natsu said his brother will be back at 9:00..

I was thinking of a few causes that might have delayed his arrival.. but my throat suddenly feels dry like it was begging for a glass of water.. I tried to cough it off and it might be a bit disgusting but I swallowed some of my saliva to wash it down but it just makes me feel more thirsty..

And waking Natsu up for a glass of water is really a lame excuse and I dont wanna do it cause he was sleeping so peacefully.. Well I already did barge in to his house, I mean its just a glass of water right? A sudden tickling and dry sensation was felt in my throat like it was agreeing with my thoughts.. So I carefully removed Natsu from my lap as I stand up then lays it back to the sofa.. I sigh in relieve when he didnt woke up, then I quietlt walk my way in the kitchen..

Sting's POV

So my 9:00 'be at home' promise to Natsu had turned out to be 10:30 cause my supposed to be shift (A/N: "I dont know what you call them, but they are like the other workers that do your work when you are going home.. did ya get me??") overslept and completely forgot he had work to go to.. Ugh! I thought I was gonna do a graveyard ship today.. and I cant do that cause I'm worried about Natsu since he is all alone at the house..

I mean, I know he's not a little kid anymore but I know Natsu has experience a lot of depression and I'm guessing he's still experiencing them, eventhough he doesnt show it.. I'm not even sure if he knows he's still experiencing them..

As to my observation, Natsu's mind is trying its best to act normal on his everyday life, like its making him believe that everything will be okay and its preventing him to get hurt again.. or like his mind is accepting the fact that this had happened to him.. that is why he's feelings are becoming numb.. but yet, this information that Natsu has set inside him are still not enough to make him feel any better..His keeping all his emotions inside of him

And the worst part there, is that once it was triggered.. he will experience a major break down.. or far more worst than I could even imagine..

So when my other shift has finally arrived, I hurriedly went to my lockers and change to my regular clothes.. I'm still pissed off about him being late, I could hear him apologizing but I just ignored him and say goodbye to my manager.. I run my way to the parking lot and went inside my car.. Turning on the ignition and trying my best to calm myself down as I drive..

I think I'm being paranoid now, though Natsu called it 'overreacting'

And my face had lit up when I saw my beloved apartment.. I hurriedly parked my car then locked it shut and walk my way to the door.. When I was about to insert my doorkeys, I just noticed that it was barely close at all..

Did Natsu forgot to close the door?

I shook my head and just went inside.. I could hear the TV on so I went to the living room.. I finally sigh in relieve when I saw Natsu peacefully sleeping on the sofa with Happy and Lector.. I kneel down to get a closer look on him then I notice his closed eyes were slightly puffy and I'm guessing he cried his way to sleep.. but I'm still relieve that nothing bad happened to him or like he hasnt done what I thought he would..

When my worries had finally faded thats when my dragonslayer senses started working.. Having good sense of hearing made me realized that there is someone inside the kitchen..

I turn on my defence mode then quietly walk my way to the kitchen.. there I saw a guy that has dark blue hair, he turned around and saw me.. he was shock to see me at the door that he almost spit out the water from his mouth since was drinking..

I formed an unamused face from his reaction. Then he froze from where he was standing and not knowing what to do, while I just cross my arms then glare at him..

"uhm.. I .. "

He was standing there and I could sense that he's feeling conscious since I'm glaring at him.. I dont really know this guy..

"Who are you?"

"I'm Gray Fullbuster.. I'm just new here and I'm Natsu's friend"

Natsu's friend? Does he know? I doubt it

"Why are you here??"

"Natsu called me"

"He called you?"

"Well, he was technically gonna call you or a person named Sting.. but he dialled the wrong number.. which is my number"

I dont like this guy.. Is he really Natsu's friend? he's just new here or atleast thats what he said..I dont know him which makes me worried cause I really doubt it that he knows Natsu's secret at all and I'm seriously gonna kill him if he started bullying Natsu if he discovers it..Like what Lucy did.. I'll make him the final straw of my patience .. But I'm still not the one who has the right to judge him.. Maybe Natsu does consider him as a friend

"I see.. well I'm Sting.. Natsu's brother.. Sorry for scaring ya"
