Gratsu - You're The One I Love [COMPLETED]

Chapter Forty Two

Natsu's POV:

I walked straight back to where Lucy had taken a seat. I sat next to her and slumped back.

"Hm? Something happen in the bathroom?" Lucy said when I sat down.

"Yeah, believe it or not.." I sighed. "I'm tired of loving him -- It's tiring. I just want to be able to lie down and sleep without thinking about him." Lucy's expression softened, and she gently placed her hand on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Natsu," she said. "Do you want to go home now? I'll walk with you."

"No, I think I'll stay here for a bit," I said. "Thank you, though." Lucy was still gazing at me sympathetically, but she nodded in agreement. "You can leave if you want, it must annoy Levy-Chan that you spend so much time with me. Go take her on a date, or something. I'm fine by myself, really." I forced a smile despite the fact I wanted to gouge my own eyes out. But as much as I wanted Lucy to hug me and comfort me, I didn't want her to have to suffer.

"A-alright, if you're sure," Lucy stood up with a bit of trepidation. "You're okay... right?"

"Yes, I'm fine," I said a bit over-dramatically with a carefree smile on my face. Lucy seemed convinced by my act and happily skipped over towards where her girlfriend was sitting. As soon as she left however, I felt the smile fade from my face. I wanted to go home. I wanted to cry. I wanted to go run to Gray and force him to love me. There were so many things I wanted to do at that moment, but I just sat there dumbfounded. I still hadn't really figured out exactly what had happened, and honestly, I didn't care. Whatever it was, it was strange and only going to confuse me more than I'm already confused. I didn't need that. Gray didn't either. This was for the better: For both of us.

"Hey, you, pinky," I heard someone call me. I turned towards the voice and saw someone there whom I hadn't seen in a while. He was as handsome as ever, I thought, with the same pretty silver hair.

"Hey, Lyon," I said casually. We had been on missions together before, so I didn't see the harm in addressing him casually, "What's up?"

Gray's POV:

I snuck out of the bathroom past everyone in the guild and practically sprinted home. When I arrived, I opened the door slowly, trying my best not to make any noise. I tiptoed in and into the bedroom where Juvia lie fast asleep. I looked down at her sleeping face with mixed emotions. There was a time that all I felt was love towards this woman, but somewhere along the way, those feelings began to diminish. I was at the point that I don't even remember what I ever saw in her.

After thinking that, I glanced down at Juvia's stomach and bit my lip. She's pregnant, I thought, gulping in my throat, my baby is inside of her. I can't possibly break up with her, that's cruel. But can I really sacrifice my life happiness for a child? Ugh.. stupid me. Of course I can. I swallowed back any unhappiness I had and crawled into bed with her. For now, all I can do is pretend...
