Gray X Reader: My Protector (Wattys2016)

Chapter 53: A harder magic to conquer

Your POV

Anger, confusion and rage filled my body as I stared at my exceed who had been burnt badly, her dark purple fur that was once silky was now singed. She looked lifeless. However, her chest was going up and down at a steady rate.
"Gray," I mutter looking at Willow with my teeth grit "hold Willow, make sure she's okay, and make sure that nothing bad happens to her... most of all make sure she does not leave the house!" I say anger now fully consuming my body.

Nobody hurts Willow like that. She's my only friend and has been there for me from day one. I swear I'm gonna kill Natsu when I see him.

"Where the hell are you going? " Gray asks me in confusion.
"I'm going to find that bastard and make him pay for what he did to my best friend!" I yell angrily.
"(Y/N) you can't you're not strong enough! You're still too weak..." he says in a pleading voice.
"I'm not weak! Not now! And who cares about that. I'm not letting some loser destroy my exceed! He's going to die!" I say almost growling.

With that I run to the guild trying not to use too much energy on that rather then the fight. When I get in there I slam the door open.
"Where the hell is the salamander?!" I yell.
"(Y/N)?" Mira asks a little shocked "What's happened?" She asked.
"Have you seen him?" I ask.

I immidiatley see a spark of pink hair and Natsu stands up with his goofy smile.
"I heard my name!" He then paused "Oh hey (Y/N), how's it going?" I stayed silent "What's up lil' sis? Cat got your tongue?"

I stare at the idiot standing there cheerfully without a care in the world.

He called me his little sis and then made a cat joke... how freaking dare he?!

He has some nerve that salamander. If I managed to beat him once I'll beat him again... and this time it'll be worse.

"Dont you dare call me your lil' sis again..." I pause "you hurt Willow..." I mutter quietly "and now you're going to pay!" I yell as I walk over to him making sure I don't hit anyone else but him.
"Celestial Dragon: Star Fist!" I yell and hit Natsu making him fall to the ground. He looks at me in shock.
"(Y/N)? What the hell are you talking about? What's happened to Willow?" He asks in a 'sincere' voice. He's obviously faking it.
"Don't play innocent with me. The only person who uses fire magic in the whole of Magnolia is you. There is now way that Willow would be able to get hurt like that unless someone used fire magic," I say keeping my eyes on him "and for hurting my best friend your going to pay. So I hope you're ready for a fight salamander," I say "because I'm really burning up now!"

I use my catchphrase that I haven't used in ages. But in all honesty I haven't felt this passionate about a fight in ages.

"Celestial Dragon: Roar!" I yell

Gray POV

I look down at the sleeping Willow. Draco had dropped her off and after I said my thanks she gave a kind smile and a small nod then left.

Willow was now asleep on the bed that the three of us share. Her burns look bad and I sigh slightly. I'm still regretting my choices in not listening to Master's first aid class.

I try to somehow soothe her wounds. I heard Aloe Vera can sort of help it... right?

Either way I put some of the gel onto Willow ' s fur where she had burns and her fur was singed.
"Ow!" She said in a weak voice.

I sigh in relief and realise she's conscious. I was about to do her paws when I notice a strange mark in her fur where one of her burns were really bad.
