Gray X Reader: My Protector (Wattys2016)

Chapter 73: Don't be so stupid Aries

Leo POV

The pain I suddenly felt was somewhat unbearable. My head suddenly hurt like hell as if it had been pounded against something and my body was suddenly weak. The Queen became a distant vision as I suddenly felt out of place, almost as if I wasn't myself.
"W-Whats going on?" I ask weakly.
"You see, I need Mr Fullbuster out of the way Leo, however... let's give them some time to be happy." She smirks not even answering my question.

(Y/N)... whatever happens next I'm sorry.

Your POV

"We need to go to Fairy Tail and announce your back!" Gray says happily.
"Yeah, but can we find Willow first? The last time I saw her she was with Lily and another baby exceed if I remember rightly."
"Er... yeah... about that..." he mutters. I look at him oddly.
"About what?" I ask confused.
"You see... er... Willow and Lily... they're uh..."
"Spit it out Ice ballerina." I say. 
"Well... Lily is a dad." He says.

I pause as I look at Gray for a moment processing his words.

"THAT GOOD FOR NOTHING,  IDIOTIC EXCEED ON STEROIDS CHEATED ON WILLOW?!" I yell. Gray shakes his head.
"N-no! I mean... Willow is a mum too."
"What they adopted an exceed together?" I ask "awww! Thats so cute! But how?  She was in the celestial world with me."
"(Y/N) they didn't adopt anything." Gray sighs.
"Well if they didn't adopt anything then how are they -" I pause as I once again try and process everything "HOLD ON A SECOND WILLOW AND LILY HAVE AN EXCEED TOGETHER?" I yell.
"Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner." Gray mutters.

I try to process everything in my brain. How? When? Wait... what?

"But that's impossible... how did the egg hatch? When did the egg hatch?! What?" I ask.
"Well... Willow pulled Lily away with Gajeel on the day of you guys going to the celestial world and she may have told them then." He mutters.
"Wait... so how did you find out?" I ask still trying to get my head around everything.
"They both told me once you and Willow went to the celestial world."

So... Willow is a mum... Lily is a dad... Wait a second...? Do I count as Willow's best friend or Guardian? So does that make me a Grandmother and Gray a Gramps? Or do we just count as close friends to them? I'm so confused... what if-

"You're making my brain hurt by thinking too much..." he muttered "I don't get why I only hear some of your thoughts... it makes no sense."
"You hear most of my thoughts that concern you, later on though, well kind of later on.." I trail off  "We'll be able to mind - link." I smile softly.
"Oh Yeah?  When's that?" He asks.
"Well, if we ever decide to have children. When our, or if, our first child is born." I say softly.
"O-oh." He mutters quietly a small blush on his face.
"Come on." I say quietly " Let's go find Willow, we can check at Gajeel ' s place and see if they're there." I smile. He nods his head and we walk out of the apartment. I make sure I leave the ring in its place. I don't want to take that thing with me. It's from my 'engagement' to Leo, and I'm not with him, I never have been so I'm not going to wear it.

Aries POV

"Have you heard?" Aquarius muttered "The lion is back out of Prison and the engagement to the princess is off." She muttered.
"What? Why's that?" Gemini asks in unison.
"Gray showed up and took (Y/N) from him." She said with a smile then looked over at me "you know,  if I remember rightly you use to have a crush on Leo, am I right?" She asks.
"W-What?  N-n-no, I-I-I -"
"Heh. Your lying, it's written all over your face Aries." Taurus says "It's a shame because a lovely lady like you would be amooooooozzzzziiing to have as a girlfriend. Too bad you're in love with Leo."
"B-b-but I-I -"
"Listen, he's not with the princess anymore, why not ask him out?" Aquarius asks
"Because... he won't remember me." I muttered quietly tears forming in my eyes.
"What do you mean...?" Taurus asks.
"E - exactly that..." I muttered "I've probably said t-too much B-b-but Leo and I can't be together... its virtually impossible." I say quietly "...I'm sorry to L-let you g-guys down." I muttered.

There was silence and Aquarius sighs.
"Don't be so stupid Aries, you're a celestial spirit and nothing is impossible. Operation: Get Leo and Aries together is go."
"We need a nickname!" Gemini says.
"Operation: GLAAT." Taurus says.
"Y-You g-guys a-are so embarassing!" I mutter tears forming in my eyes.

Your POV

"Wiiiiiillllllloooooooowwwww." I call knocking at the door, Gray was by my side sighing.
"You weirdo." He mutters
"Yep. You bet!" I laugh.

Soon the door opens revealing Willow there.
"(Y/N)... what are you doing with Gray?" She asks a little confused.
"Well my memories are back and we're definetly not going back to the celestial world again, and now show me your child, child." I say.
"I'm not a child! And how'd you know that I have an exceed."
"Er... that might be my fault. She overheard You and Lily talking." He laughed quietly "so I filled in the blanks."

There was silence and Willow then smiled slightly "Well,  why don't you come and meet her?" She asks.

With that a small purple exceed with white markings around her mouth comes in with a red ribbon in her hair.

"This is Ivy." She smiles softly. I look at the tiny exceed standing in front of me and I smile slightly.  She looked so terrified so I kneeled down next to her and smiled.
"Hi there Ivy." She said she looked at me even more nervously and waved her paw uneasily she then ran inside "She's so cute!" I laugh. Gray nods his head
"Yeah, she sure is." He chuckled. I then look at Willow.
"So is Lily around?" I ask after some silence.
"(Y/N)...I get you're protective but it takes two to tan-"
"Ew. Willow too much information,  u just wanted to congratulate him on being a dad." I sigh.

As if on queue Lily walked out with Gajeel and Levy.
"Oh hey (Y/ -) "

Lily was cut off by Levy running to me and hugging me tightly.
"Oh my gosh! (Y/N)! I've missed you so Much! Wait do you have your memories?" She asked "Wait no that might have been top secret... but if it is then why're you with Gray..."
"I've got my memories Levy." I laugh "I just came to see Ivy and congratulate Lily and Willow on being parents." I say softly.

"Well, now you've done that we need to tell everyone that you're back in Fairy Tail!" She laughed happily. 

Without even giving me a warning she took my wrist and ran to Fairy tail guild.
"Wait shrimp! You're gonna fall there's a-"
"Be careful you clutz! There's a -"

We suddenly fall straight to the ground with a crash.
"Stick." Gajeel and Gray mutter in unison in a monotone tone with a sigh.

***

This is such a bad place to end the chapter, I know, I'm sorry but it's not on a cliffhanger so don't worry XD

So this chapter was a bit more light - hearted rather then all the deep stuff recently XD so I hope you enjoyed it!

Anyway! Looks like I could update today so, I updated XD. Suprisingly I got this chapter done quicker than I thought and it's a semi-decent length chapter.

Love,

Cupcakes!

And have  Project: GLAAT picture XD

Ps: I appologise for any autocorrection / spelling / grammar/ punctuation / just English in general mistakes!
