Maybe I Do Love You...

Gray's Heat Haze Days (Story2)

It all started around 12:30 pm on August 15th. It was good weather that day.

I showered in the sunlight, it was bright enough to make me ill. Natsu had excitedly agreed the night before to go out of on a date with me.

We met up at a playground the Guild used to go to back when we were children. I smiled when Natsu sat on the swing next to my own.

"It's kinda ironic right?" Natsu asked me, looking up at the sky. "I'm a Fire Dragon but yet, I kinda hate the summer."

"That's kind of odd Natsu." I said.

"Well that's probably because I'm odd." Natsu laughed.

We decided to get some ice cream. But on the way, passing the train station, we saw a little girl crying.

"Hey kid, what's wrong?" Natsu asked running over to the weeping child.

"M-my cat ran onto the train tracks and w-won't come back." She cried.

I looked over and saw a black cat prancing around on the train tracks.

"I'll get your cat for you." Natsu smiled and hoped over to the train tracks. Bending down, he went to get the cat. The cat suddenly jumped up on the ledge of the sidewalk.

I looked over and saw a train speeding towards Natsu.

"Natsu! Look out!" I yelled.

He stood up and turned around, right to see a speeding train.
The rushing train didn't stop at the train station. It just speed off. But not before hitting Natsu, running him over.

Ran him over and drove away while I screamed.

No one seemed to notice.

I sank to my knees and began sobbing at the color of splashed blood mixed with Natsu's strawberry scent.

I heard someone laughing that day.

"Who the hell is laughing?!" I screamed turning around.

There was a teenage boy, about Wendy's age with black hair standing there. He was the Heat Haze he said.

Heat Haze was sneering at me. Reminding me that it wasn't a joke.

"Ice Make: Excalibur!" I yelled charging him.

I blacked out at the city noises that were disturbing like the red paint on the train tracks.

When I come back to my senses I was in my bedroom. I hear the echoing sound of a clock's hands. What time is it?

The hands on the clock point to a little past midnight on August 15th. I remember the annoying sound of the city. But wow, it's kind of mysterious.

I sit down at the park and Natsu smiles at me.

"Ready to get some ice cream?" He asks.

I suddenly remember the dream I had yesterday in the same park.

"Maybe we shouldn't." I say. "We should go to the Guild for today."

"Alright." I can sense some confusion in Natsu's voice, but I don't care. I'll do anything to keep that horrible dream from happing.

While we are walking towards the Guild in silence, Natsu behind me. I look up when I hear a woman gasp.

The people all around me are looking with their mouths gaping.

A falling metal pole pierces through you.

A tearing shirk and the sound of wind chimes, echo through the trees.

The Heat Haze was sneering at me, reminding me that it wasn't a joke.

Through my darkening eyes, I think Natsu was smiling.

"Natsu!" I yell, passing out.

The sneering Heat Haze plays out his evil game. Plundering away on darkened world after another. His game. It's been repeating for ten years now. And yet, I'm the only one who notices. I can't same him. He always ends up dying.

I given up. I can't do anything to stop it.

Natsu jumps into the train tracks to get the cat when I remember words that I herded Erza tell me once. "This is the kind of frequently told story. But remember Gray, how will your story end? Change the story!"

"This one can be found at the end of these repeating summer days.

When I pulled Natsu out and I jumped in instead, the train slammed into me. The color of my blood splashed reflecting off Natsu's eyes and his robotic body.

The last things I herd was the seemingly annoying Heat Haze was laughing. "Take that!"

It was supposed to me a regular August 15th for me, but something had to come to an end this time.

Awakening on August 14th in a hammock. Natsu sat up, hugging his pillow, alone, said "It didn't work again."

America: Note: This is a story about how Gray and Natsu, are seeming forever trapped in two repeating days (August 14 & 15th) and are repeating dying for each other in order to somehow escape that cursed loop.

This is actually a Vocaloid song.
