« Third Persons POV »

Days have passed since Gray and Natsu talked but his admonish towards him still lingered on his mind over and over again.

How can he forget it?

His friend was just warning him about falling head over heels on a mere mortal, he knew there are consequences but would it really hurt being happy?

(Y/n) is the source of his joy and his very own light. She gave him a whole new level of fun, for centuries all he did was make people happy and right now he wants himself to be like them, to be happy as well.

Days have passed since he and (Y/n) shared the kiss and throughout those days he knew there's a special connection between them, a connection that he and she only shared.

He grinned widely when she saw (Y/n) sitting on her usual spot on the dining area.

Right now they're eating their breakfast and (Y/n) couldn't help but admire his cooking skills, it really is on top notch.

"Why won't you be a chef Gray, your cooking skills is just phenomenal!" She chirped as she took a spoonful of honey and pancake and shoving it on her mouth.

Gray gave out a heart chuckle,
"I'm satisfied with my job."

(Y/n) nods and gulped down the ravishing dish he prepared, "Say Gray, what's your job?" She asked curiously.

By that Gray immediately look away, "I—uhh—am—" what would he say?

He just can't blurt out, "Oh, I  have a job—protecting other people and making them happy because I'm an angel, the money I have in my bank is delivered from my sister in heaven, that's why I live life here on Earth pretty much in luxury."

So he just told her, "My dad left me with a great fortune so it's safe to say I can't have a job for the next ten years."

"Oh, good for you then. My dad left me when I was just twelve forcing me to be a rational person on an early age." (Y/n) frown making Gray frown as well.

He never really scan (Y/n)'s biodata when he's in heaven, he just have the urge to protect her from any sorts of danger.
No questions or history needed.

"I'm sorry." Gray hung his head low.

"No, it's fine really." (Y/n) laughed as she drink the cup of apple juice she made awhile ago. "I'm used to it." She winked and chuckled.

Gray smiled combing his locks away from his face saying, "Did you say rational (Y/n)?"

(Y/n) vigorously nods making Gray stifle with laughter. "Hey! Why are you laughing at me."

"I just realized, you said you were rational when you're clearly not." He exclaimed as he gave (Y/n) a teasing smirk.

This bastard. (Y/n) thought.
"You're an indisputable human being!" She yelled as she slam the glass on the table, making the liquid spill from it.

And their endless bickering started.

Gray couldn't help but smile with pure joy. He thinks this is their way of expressing their individual emotions and somehow it made him feel at ease.

[TIME SKIP]

"Come on, let's watch the movie!" (Y/n) chirped as she jump up and down over and over the sofa. She's really excited to watch a certain movie called "Moana" she just found it amusing.

"Wait a moment," Gray said as he picked up the butter popcorn he put in the oven moments ago. "Don't get too excited." He exclaimed as h chuckled, she's just too cute to handle.

"Come on now Grandpa!" She teased as she plopped over the sofa, staring at the fifty-inch television with wide eyes.

Gray fasten his pace and immediately sat with her, "You're really into this movie." He laughed as he gave (Y/n) the bowl of popcorn.

She impulsively took it with open arms, picking up a fistful of popcorn and shoving it into her mouth.

When she tasted the burst of flavor her eyes shot wide, "This is the best popcorn ever!" She yelled as she closed her eyes, chewing the ravishing goodness.

"What can I say? I'm good at this." Gray winked and snake his arms on (Y/n)'s shoulders,  leaning over the wooden support as he did so.

(Y/n)'s cheek immediately flushed bright red on Gray's rare gesture. "Why are you doing this?" She asked as she cover her face with her palms.

Gray chuckled and kiss her temple, "Because I fancy you."

I fancy you, (Y/n). A voice similar to Gray's echoed through her mind.

"I like you. . ." A blurry picture flashed through her troubled mind, an image of a blurry silver and gold made her question her own imagination.

She closed her eyes shut and within seconds her mind turned blank.

"(Y/n)? (Y/n)!" Gray yelled as he shake her shoulders.

He noticed that (Y/n) wasn't even paying attention towards the movie they're watching, he stared at her (e/c)-hues and immediately noticed it was lifeless, there's no life reflecting on it and it made his mind go haywire.

Why is this too soon?

"(Y/n), Dulcinea. . ." He begged, still shaking her shoulders but she just sit there staring at nothingness.

"Snap out of it!" He yelled so loudly that (Y/n) blinked multiple times.

She breathed a handful of air and roam her eyes towards the room, when suddenly she drop her gaze towards a huffing man looking like he's in despair.
It was Gray.

"Huh? Gray, why are you sweating?" She asked innocently as she touch his cheeks.

Gray in an impulse leaned over her warm hands and admired how incredibly soothing it was.

"You're okay." He whispered.

Millions of questions rang on her mind, why is Gray acting like this. "Why are you—" before she can even question what's happening, Gray hugged her like she's going to break.

"You're fine." He whispered huskily as he rested his head on top of her shoulders making the bowl of popcorn which is resting on her lap roll over the floor with a loud thud.

"What happened?" She asked once again.

Gray snake his hands over her waist and whispered on her ear, "Nothing."

She nods with understanding and just feel the warmth Gray emitted. "Are you telling the truth?"

Gray gripped the hem of her shirt tightly nodding once more.

(Y/n) smiled, stroking his soft black locks, "I trust you."

For a good hour they stayed like that. Her brushing his locks and him admiring her scent.

Looks like Gray is a clinger. She laughed.

"I like you too Gray." She whispered and leaned over his chest, hearing his fast heartbeat like redemption on her confused and troubled mind.
