Gray X Reader: My Protector (Wattys2016)

Chapter 11: You never give up, huh?

Third Person

All (Y/N) heard was Gray's body hit the ground. Her (E/C) eyes stared at him, she looked at him terrified, he was obvouisly hurt.
"Gray!" She screamed staring at him again tears falling out of her eyes. There was no reply.

Bellatrix stood still, she had a haunted look on her face, her eyes wide - open.

She had now come back to her senses.
"(Y-Y/N)? What happened?! Wh-what did I just do?" The spirit asked terrified. Silence filled the room.

(Y/N) quickly got out her phone and called Natsu. He soon answered but before she could say anything she burst out into tears.
"Natsu, please help! Gray's just been stabbed with one of my spirits daggers." She says tears pouring out of her eyes. The fire dragon slayer at the end of the phone was slightly confused.
"Okay, I'm coming." Is all he said then hung up.

Bellatrix waited there quietly. Her usual personality had kicked in, and now she couldn't remember what happened, but seeing the guy on the floor she knew she must have done something.

(Y/N) knelt next to Gray and held his hand tightly.
"Gray, can you hear me?" She asks. There's a small grunt.
"I-im fine s-stop making a fuss, Gee- ow!" He mutters.
"Don't move!" Bellatrix said quietly and knelt down next to (Y/N). "It makes it more painful if you try and move, the poison will take its effect soon, so we need to be quick about this."
"Poison?" Gray groaned. Bellatrix nodded slightly.
"I'm ever so sorry, I wasn't in control, I couldn't - I wasn't - I -"

The door slammed open and in came Natsu, Lucy, Erza, Mirajane, Cana, Wendy, Happy and Carla.

(Y/N) felt slightly claustrophobic with so many people in such a small space.
"Gray! Who did this to you?" Mirajane asked. There was no reply from the Ice wizard so the Celestial spirit stood up.
"I did." She replied quietly. (Y/N)'s eyes looked at Bellatrix in shock.

Everyone stared at the odly dressed person a little confused, only Lucy recognised the spirit.
"Y-Y - You're Bellatrix: gate of the Female Warrior." Lucy says quietly.
"Yes, I am, Lucy." Bellatrix said.
"H-How do you know my name?" She asked.

Your POV

There was silence and I looked at Bella.
"Have you finished your duties for today?" I ask in a voice with authority. Even though I hate talking to her like this, I think it's the only way I can get my point across.
"Yes, I have (Y/N)." She said quietly.
"Then please return." I say.
"What?! No! I can't do that!!!" She says. I raise an eyebrow at her.
"Bellatrix, you will do as I say. Understand?"

Without another word Bellatrix returned to the spirit world. There stood the rest of the members staring at me, apart from Wendy who was trying to heal Gray.
"Duties?!" Erza asked in annoyance or anger, I couldn't really tell.which one. "What the hell did you have her do?! Was this your plan to kill Gray? To get close to him and then to kill him?" She asked.
"What?! No! I couldn't he-"
"Of course you couldn't help it! I mean just casually a Celestial spirit tries to kill alias."She said. Now I could see she was angry.
"(Y/N) Wouldn't do that Erza!" Cana said staring at her.
"If (Y/N) really wanted to kill Gray, then don't you think she wouldn't have called us for help?" Natsu said.

Carla walked over to Gray.
"Wendy, how is it going?" She asked Wendy.
"I'm almost done, a poison was inside that wound which could have been from part of the dagger." She said.

I also walked over to Gray sadly and quietly. I grab his hand and hold it gently. His body was stone cold.

"Why are you even near him, haven't you done enough for now?!" Erza yelled.
"Erza!" Mirajane snapped "You're not the only one worried about Gray. It's obvious that poor (Y/N) meant no harm to him, and she's obviously worried sick, like the rest of us. So just drop down!" She said in a stern tone.
"No Mirajane, unfortunately I will disagree with you on this, if she was so worried about him they why didn't she try to save him herself?!"
"Stop it." I say quietly.
"Maybe she knew that she couldn't, (Y/N) isn't a healer you know!" Mirajane shouted. This is the first time I have ever seen her shout.
"She didn't have to be, bandage his wounds! Clean them! Simple first aid!" Erza said matching Mirajane 's voice.
"Simple first aid? For a cut that deep, he could have died!"

I couldn't take anymore. I let go of Gray's hand and clenched my fist.
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" I yelled tears pouring out of my eyes. "Don't you think I know this is all my fault?! Don't you think I get that?! I'm sorry okay! I'm sorry for ever coming to this guild! I'm sorry for not staying and marrying Brian. I'm sorry for getting Gray involved in my life! I'm sorry for Beating Natsu up! I'm sorry!"

I felt arms wrap around me, cold ones at that. A familiar tingle caused me to shudder.
"You are the greatest thing that ever happened to me (Y/N). Don't you ever be sorry about meeting me, because I would take a thousand daggers for you if I had to, a thousand bullets, geez I'd do anything for you. So don't you dare be sorry." A voice said quietly, however everyone could hear it due to the fact that there was silence. And even though I couldn't see who it was, I knew it was Gray.

I start crying harder and face him then hug him tightly my tears falling on to his shoulder.

I look over at Wendy who looked a bit weak from using too much power and smiled. "Thank you." I say quietly. She smiles sweetly and nods.

I heard the door slam and looked to see Erza had gone.

Something about Erza isn't right, I mean, why does she hate me so much? Or at least hate me with Gray so much. I mean she can't be jealous, after all she's with Jellal, that's for certain. And she's definetly not the type to cheat.

I looked away from the door sadly and sighed. I then looked at Gray. "I'm so sorry Gray... I didn't mean for any of this to happen." I whisper.

Gray stood up weakly.
"Damn (Y/N), You never give up, huh?" He smiled.
"No, because it's all my fault and everything's gone wrong and you got hurt because of me and all I seem to do is hurt you every single day, so im-"

I was cut off by his lips smashing into mine. I blushed a bright red. He pulled away with a smirk.
"You should learn to be quiet." He smiled.

Everyone in the room awed whilst Natsu was holding back his disgust.
"Ew Gray! Thats gross! Don't infect my little sis like that!"
"Wanna fight Flamehead."
"Go on pretty boy!"

A small laugh came out everyone's mouth.

And they lived happily ever after...

Haha! No! I'm not that mean, I'm not gonna finish it there.

We still have a long journey to go! So let's carry on!

From cupcakes!
