Fixing You

Chapter 4

Before I start this chapter there's something I need to say, Natsu is the way he is because i'm basing him off of myself right now, that's part of the reason I said he had suffered more. I had no intention of comparing back stories, that was not what I wanted to do. I didn't word it right when I said Natsu suffered more. I had said it because Master knows some things, Because of Carla he knows that Natsu will indeed lose quite a few people close to him in the future. I wasn't going to explain this but I feel the need to right now.

Chapter 4

It's been a week since the team took the vacation that the master set up for them, Natsu and Gray were now sitting at a bar, Natsu was basically drooling over all the food options available and Gray was about to order a drink before Natsu interrupted him.

"Hey what are you getting?"

"probably just a beer, you?" Gray didn't really have to ask the dragon slayer what he was getting cause if he knew Natsu he knew he was going to order a bunch of food, but Natsu had surprised him

"Just one plate of fire chicken"

"That's all?"

"Yeah, I'm not very hungry anyway.." Natsu called the waiter over and ordered, Gray ordered as well.

Their food and drinks were brought over and Natsu dug in. It didn't take him long to finish. Gray finished off his beer soon after.

"What do you wanna do now, hey Natsu?" Gray shifted on his stool so he could face the dragon slayer.

Natsu put his hand on his chin as he thought, this made Gray smile at how childish it made him look. "How about we go to the beach, i'd really like to go swimming"

"Yeah we can do that, Lets get the girls too, they probably went shopping"

"Okay!" Natsu paid for his meal and Gray's drink under Gray's protest, but Natsu grabbed gray's arm and dragged him to the shopping area.

Gray scanned the shops looking for Erza and Lucy as well as looking at the items in the shop. Natsu on the other hand was only looking for the Girls.

"Hey Natsu, We'd probably find them quicker if we split up"

"Yeah, you're right."

"Okay you go that way and i'll stay in this area, Sound good?" Natsu nodded and sprinted off in the other direction.

Gray had told Natsu that it'd be better to split up because it would be but he had also noticed something in the shops window which he thought Natsu would love, he'd love anything the ice mage gave him anyway but he wanted to get this one item that caught his eye.

-Back at the Guild-

Master was anxious over something, Carla had mentioned something that made him uneasy and he wanted to get the team back as soon as possible, he hated that he had to cut their vacation short but something was going to happen, Someone was going to get hurt again or worse.

"Master, I don't think there's anything we can do, we've tried to avoid one of Carla's visions before but it didn't work out in our favor." Mira was watching the Master in concern, she wanted to avoid this from happening but really there was nothing they could do.

The Master sighed "You're right Mira, Maybe we should just leave it be" Tears welled up in his eyes as he stalked his way back to his office.

-Back with the Team-

Natsu had found the girls and was already heading back to find Gray. Erza and Lucy along with Happy were watching Natsu with a smile on their face, they were happy to see how eager the teen was to go to the beach, they knew that, that would make him happy, he would have fun with everyone there.

Erza was the first to notice Gray moving away from a shop with a small box in his hand, not small enough for a ring though, secretly she was disappointed that there was no ring in that box but she knew that he had bought something for the now cheerful teen as he spotted Gray and ran up to him.

Gray had to quickly hide the box in his hand as he was almost bowled down by the fire mage. Natsu jumped on his back and insisted on a piggy back ride. Gray happily complied to it, he carried Natsu all the way to the beach since they were already wearing their shorts and the girls had their bathing suits on under their clothes.

Once they reached the beach Natsu jumped off Gray, threw his shirt and scarf at him and ran into the water. Gray chuckled and walked over to where the girls went and placed Natsu's stuff down by theirs, he then threw off his shirt which he surprisingly still had on and ran out to the water as well.

Natsu had dropped to his back so he could float and Gray splashed water at him. Natsu gasped and stood up, then grinned and splashed Gray back, they laughed as another splash war broke out between them.

Soon after the war broke out the girls joined in on the fun and then everyone was splashing each other, Happy was flying above as he watched Natsu smiling and everyone having fun, but Natsu grabbed his tail and pulled him into the water causing the exceed to let out a small yelp.

After they all were tired of splashing water at each other they all decided to go back to the beach and lay down for a little bit. Natsu walked up and sat under a tree, Happy curled up next to him and Gray sat down on the other side of him.

Erza and Lucy sat next to happy and looked at the dragon slayer.

"So are you having fun Natsu?" Erza spoke first.

"Yeah, I am" He gave the red head a small smile before looking down at Happy who had fallen asleep.

He knew that this was fun to do, especially with everyone there, they were part of his family, they were his closest friends, but he knew that this wouldn't last, he had a feeling that something was going to happen but he didn't know what.

"That's good to hear, we all want you to be happy. you too Gray, we want you to be happy as well."

Gray nodded at Erza to tell her thanks and both her and Lucy gave them a smile.

They all lid down and stared at the sky which was now darkening, yet they still stayed there until the whole sky was covered in stars.

Gray now had his head layed on Natsu's leg and Natsu was running his fingers through the raven locks.

"Maybe we should head back to the inn, it's starting to get cold" Lucy spoke as she shivered and shifted closer to Erza.

"Yeah, lets head back, i'm getting tired anyway." Natsu spoke as he yawned.

Gray sat up and stretched before grabbing his shirt and Natsu grabbed his own shirt and scarf. The girls grabbed their clothes and they made their way back to the inn, once they got back they all said goodnight and each disappeared in their own rooms.

Gray walked into the room and reached into the bag he had with him for the small box, once he found it he looked over at Natsu and called him over.

"What is it Gray?"

"I found something that I think you would like." He smiled and handed over the box to Natsu.

Natsu opened the box and his eyes lit up. Inside the box was a pendant on a chain that was a flame encased in ice. "Gray....I love it!"

Gray smiled and kissed the dragon slayer tenderly. They pulled apart and Gray placed the necklace around Natsu's neck so it was visible under the scarf. "Thank you Gray!"

"You're welcome"

Natsu moved to the bathroom to get ready for bed, Gray had changed into boxers and got in bed, Natsu came out of the bathroom and noticed that Happy had already went to bed and smiled before getting in bed next to Gray.

They fell asleep hugging once again but it didn't last long before a big bang was heard outside the inn and screams followed soon after.
