now on with the story!

Another boring day at Fairy Tail High. The hall ways were crowded with students and the smell of teenage horomones hung in the air. Just another normal day.

Natsu was the shy kid. No one paid him any mind and that was how he liked it. He made good grades and had one aquaintence, Lucy. Out of the blue, she decided to talk to him one day and decided to stick around. Not that Natsu cared either way. In class, he only spoke every so often. Natsu always sat in the back of the classroom right next to a window.

That was his happy place.

There Natsu daydreamed and stared peacefully out of the window, letting his mind wander. Every so often a smile would grace his normally stoic face. Yeah. Being alone was something Natsu didn't mind. Not at all.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The day carried on as usual and Natsu started to prep for his World Culters Class. He was standing at his locker going through his notes when suddenly, someone brushed passed him in a hurry. He glanced up and saw hair as dark as midnight on a winter solstice. It mezmerised Natsu. He hadn't even noticed that the person, to who this hair belonged to, was speaking.
"Hey! Are you okay?"

A deep, smooth voice beckond Natsu out of his daze He looked down to this persons face.  It was pale and fair only to be contrasted by deep blue eyes. Natsu realized he was staring and quickly turned his attention back to his locker.

"I-i'm fine. Thanks" Natsu prayed that this guy had not seen the incredibly bright blush on his face.

"I'm sorry. I' m new here. My name's Gray"

"My name is N-Natsu, sorry I'm going to be late"

With that, the pink-haired boy hurried from his locker on to his next class. His heart was racing wildly and he didn't know why. Meanwhile...

Gray was shocked as he watched Natsu scurry off like a tiny mouse. Natsu Natsu Natsu. The name reverbrated through his body making his heart skip a beat. There was something about the boy with flowery pink hair. It had sparked a happiness in Gray. The small soft voice and cute timid behavoir had touched Gray deeply in some way. Gray, frozen still by Natsu locker, hoped that he would get to see him again.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Natsu sat in his usual spot in the back of the room waiting for class to begin. He was still trying to process what happend only mere minutes ago.
I have never felt that before. What was that? No. A better question is why did I react that way?!?!?!? Even...even if I do like him...it won't work.
These thoughts were depressing Natsu, so he tried to push them out of his mind. Yet, his name wouldn't leave his mind. Gray. As that name continued to echo in Natsu's mind he lazily looked out the window and started to daydream about the ebony-haired boy. A smile spread once again, over his emotionless face. However, engrossed in his dreams  he had missed the sudden announcment

"Attention class. Starting today you have a new classmate"

"Hello, my name is Gray! Nice to meet you all"
