Gray X Reader: My Protector (Wattys2016)

Chapter 62: Everyone is so excited about the return of your fiancé

Your POV

As soon as Gray finished saying his question there was utter silence.
"Where is this coming from?" I ask staring intently at him.
"Yeah Gray... Darknight... we beat them they're gone... they're not coming back... right?"
"We didn't beat them. Aquila saved us. There was no winner. Instead it was us fleeing, and them not knowing where we went. But whose to say... that they won't come back again?" He asks his eyes on the ground.
"Gray. . . Do you know something?" I ask.
"Nothing that you don-"
"Then why would you say that!" I say in an annoyed tone.
"(Y/N)! Calm down..." Willow says uneasily.
"Gray," I mutter quietly "if you know anythi-"
"I don't know anything. It's just a thought." he says "just forget about it." He mutters and starts walking ahead of us.

Why would he suggest such a thing? Surely there's no way Darknight would come back! I mean... why would they? Besides they can't get my power. Not now I'm marrying Gray. So why the hell would they come back?

If I know anything about Darknight it's that they're cowards. Once they've lost they've lost. There's no revenge... not really. Not unless there's something in it for them. And what would that be? Make me look like an idiot? In their eyes they'd be no use for that. They only care about the revenge that causes pain. And again that's only if something is in it for them.

Right....?

I push the thought out of my head and look at Gray. Whatever caused him to say what he said... there must be a reason.
"Hey! I'm going to go see Lily!" Willow smiles happily.
"Okay! Be back before it gets dark! And don't do anything I wouldn't do. Don't rob a bank or anything."
"Nope. Wouldn't think about it!" She smiles happily and with that she transforms and spreads her now golden wings to fly to Lily.

I look over at Gray. He's silent and walking in front of me. His back is turned to me and I sigh.
"Gray?" I ask.
"Yeah." He says solemnly.
"I hope you're ready!" I smile
"Wait? What for?!"
"Another piggy back of course!" I giggle and without further warning a pounce on his back. The ice ballerina manages to catch me just before we both fall to the ground.
"Give me more warning next time! Geez!" He says.
"Gray?"
"What now? You've already got a free piggy back ride what more do you want?" He says in annoyed tone.
"I just want to appologise."

There was silence as I hug onto him more.
"It's oka-"
"No its not." I interrupt "I shouldn't of snapped at you. It's not right. You obviously had reasons to say what you said and I shouldn't of interrupted your thoughts. I was being inconsiderate and I shouldn't of done it."I mutter.

We arrive at Gray's apartment and I jump down as we get to the door.
"It's okay. It's just a thought." He muttered
"May I ask why you would think that?" I ask.
"I just..." he paused "I have a feeling that's all. And most of the time my feelings aren't wrong." He says.

There's silence that fills the room that we have now entered.
"Listen, let's not focus on that, not now at least, let's just... let's just focus on now. Not the future nor the past. Now." I say. There's silence but Gray nods his head uneasily.

Cassiopeia POV

"So, (Y/N) is coming home tomorrow?" Leo asks excitedly.
"Yes! And we can start planning for your wedding." I smile deceivingly.
"Of course! It's in a couple of months right?" He asks "I'm sure the wedding will be amazing! I can't wait to marry the girl that I love." He smiles.

"Your majesty!" Aquila runs in.
"Yes Aquila?" I ask politely.
"The Press, they want to know your thoughts on the arrival of the Princess tomorrow and how you feel about her returning! They're all outside! Your body guards are ready and out the back door for you to go outside and answer them." He says and bows.
"Thank you very much Aquila, please could you show Leo to his room, just to make sure he doesn't get lost and end up in the cell again!" I smile.
