Gray POV
After I finished eating I cleaned up my mess and went to get my coat. I set out to go and check on BlueStar to see how she is doing. She must be doing a lot of thinking since Natsu told her that she has to pick one of us. I locked my door and started to leave my apartment building. It started to rain.
"Damn, I didn't bring my umbrella, oh well." I put my hands in my coat pockets and made my way to BlueStars apartment. On my way I passed a flower shop. 'Hmm maybe I'll get her a flower' I thought. I walked in the store and seen Lucy.
"Sup Lucy, what are you doing here?" I waved while looking at all the different flowers.
"Oh I'm working for one of the people and I'm closing up right now, but I can make an exception for you, what are you looking for?"
"I don't know, what would you suggest if I were to give one to a girl who has had a lot on her mind?" Lucy put her hand to her chin.
"Umm I would give her a single flower, like a Dafodil."
"Sure why not, thanks Lucy." Lucy grabbed a Dafodil and wrapped it in a pretty looking paper.
"Here you go Gray." I grabbed the flower from Lucy.
"How much is it?" I started to reach for my wallet.
"Oh don't worry you don't need to, it's on the house." I looked at Lucy wide eyed.
"Oh well thanks Lucy." I gripped the flower and started to leave the store.
"Of Gray, here I think you might want this." I turned around to see a umbrella being handed to me. I reached out my hand and grabbed it.
"Wow thanks Lucy, I really appreciate it but don't you need it?"
"No it's fine take it you need it so you don't get that pretty flower wet." I took the umbrella and left the store. I opened the umbrella and started to walk again. I got to BlueStars apartment and went inside. At her door I knocked and waited patiently. While I was waiting I seen Natsu coming. That stupid flame brain, he's probably here to check on BlueStar too so he can manipulate her and make her his. When Natsu reached the door we were both staring at each other like our life depended on it. We looked at each other with hatred and we both had some kind of dark aura around us. What seemed like forever BlueStar opened the door. She looked at us both in shock but she was panting. I held out my flower to her.
"Are you ok BlueStar?" Me and Natsu asked in unison. Then we both glared at each other.
"I'm fine you guys."
BlueStar POV
"Umm ...well I c-choose..." I was then cut off by a knock at the door. I went to it and looked through the peep hole. It was Natsu and Gray.
"Loke, it's Natsu and Gray, what do I do?!" Loke then got up from the couch and went to the window.
"Well I guess you'll just have to tell them who you pick, I'll find out sooner or later, plus I don't want them to think that we're doing something." Loke then claimed out the window. I ran to the door and opened it slowly, I was trying to hide my panting from them, I hope it worked. When Gray and Natsu quit staring at each other, Gray handed me a flower. Then they both asked if I was ok.
"I'm fine you guys, come in won't you?" They both came in and sat on the couch. Then when I walked to the kitchen Natsu came in.
"BlueStar, you know why I'm here right?" I looked at him and then finished getting the cups out.
"Umm you came to see how I'm doing, that's it right?" Natsu then came close to me.
"No I came to see what your answer is, I know I haven't given you time but I can't wait any longer, I need to know if your mine or his." Then Gray came into the room.
"Hey your not trying to harass her into picking you are you Flame brain?" Natsu went to face Gray and both of them started to stare at each other with hate again. I got in between them.
"Look you guys, I know why your here, and your i-in luck because I... I did pick someone." I started to walk to the living room with the 2 boys following. I sat down and Gray sat on the couch next to me and Natsu sat on the coffee table in front of me. I put my knees to my chin and wrapped my arms around my legs.
"Look you guys, I don't wanna break our friend ship, so whoever I pick I still wanna be friends with the other one, ok, I've known you guys since I entered the guild and you guys took care of me, but, now that I'm older and you guys are older, we...we have these feelings and now...now I have to pick." I didn't realize but my cheeks were stained and my mask was wet. I took off my mask and buried my face in my legs. Then I felt a hand rub on my back, from how cold it was, it was probably Gray.
"I... I-I pick......(gulp) I pick... " I put my face more into my legs with a lot of pressure.
"N...... N-Natsu...."
Natsu POV
"N...... N-Natsu...." When I heard those words my heart dropped. I stood up and picked up BlueStar in my arms. I held her while she cried. I looked at Gray and at first he was in shock. But then his face turned kind. He stood up and walked up to me and BlueStar.
"BlueStar, I just want you to know I'm really happy, I know Natsu will take care of you, but that doesn't mean Imma stop loving you, and if Natsu slips up just know I won't hold back." He hugged BlueStar from behind and turned her around while she was still in my arms. He then kissed her on the forehead. Then he looked at me and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Natsu, you better take care of her for me." And with that Gray turned around and left. Then it was just me and BlueStar when I looked at her she was in shock, then her green and red eyes started to well up with tears. I hugged her and she buried her face in my chest. I picked her up again and took her to her room. Her warm tears tickled as they went down my chest. In her room I set her on her bed and tucked her in. She looked at me and sat up. I sat at the end of the bed and looked at BlueStar. She was still shooken up.
"BlueStar if you like I can go home right now if you need your space." She didn't answer me.
"Well I'm gonna go, I'll leave you your space." When I got up from the bed I waved goodbye to BlueStar and started to make my way to the door but then I felt a hand grab my wrist. When I turned around it was BlueStar who had my wrist.
"BlueStar what are you doing?" Then she pulled me towards her , enough to make me go on top of her. Then she hugged me super tight. Then she mumbled something but I couldn't quite make it out.
"What I couldn't hear you." Then her green eyes met mine.
"Your my teddy bear, and right now your supposed to comfort me because I'm sad." I looked at her wide eyed. I then flipped over on the other side of the bed and pulled BlueStar close to me. I hugged her from behind and she let me pull her, unlike other times when she was tense and scared. She turned to face towards me and then she pecked me on the lips and buried her face in my chest. Next thing I knew she was peacefully snoring, a little cute snore. I couldn't help but run my fingers through her hair and pull her in closer.
"I love you with all my heart." I whispered in her ear. Then the darkness engulfed me into the dream world...
