Unexpected

Chapter 9

"...But, who are you and who's Gray?"

Natsu froze to his spot and his whole body went stiff. 'Gray lost his memory? he doesn't know who I am, he doesn't know his own name...'

Natsu got off the confused looking ice mage and apologized while helping him up off the floor. "do you seriously not know who I am?"

Gray shook his head to say no, Natsu sighed and he could feel tears welling up in his eyes but he pushed his emotions away thinking 'it's no use to cry anymore, he's alive and I will get his memories to return' "My name is Natsu, and you're name is Gray."

"Oh, So I'm the Gray you mentioned before."

Natsu nodded.

"Why were you so excited to see me? Are we friends?"

Natsu flinched and said "yes, best friends.." Gray looked down and Natsu's expressions turned sad. "We were also more than that, we were lovers..." Gray's head shot up to look at Natsu with a shocked expression.

"We were?"

Natsu nodded "And we have a son.." Gray's eyes widened even more.

"w-we do? but you're not a girl..." Gray looked confused once again and Natsu sighed.

"8 years ago I accidentally drank a magic potion which turned me into a girl, you said it didn't matter whether I was a girl or not because I was still me, we...did some things, I got pregnant and had our son and then soon after I changed back into a male" (AN-This is what I changed in the first chapter)

Gray looked down once again. "What's our son's name?" 

"Silver."

Gray looked as if he was thinking about everything and it took a while before he opened his mouth to speak. "How do I know you're not playing a trick on me?"

Natsu reached into the pocket of his pants and pulled out a small picture. "This is a picture that one of our friends took at a party our Guild had not too long ago." The dragon slayer handed the small picture to the ice mage. Gray took it and stared at the three figures in it, One was Natsu. The fire mage moved closer and pointed out who they were and listed the names. He pointed to himself first, "This is me...right here is you....and this is Silver." 

In the picture Gray was giving Natsu a kiss on the cheek with Silver sitting on the ice mage's shoulders.

Gray's eyes became misty and it was soon hard for him to see anything, he sat down on the bed and his hands began to shake.  "I-I want t-to remember you..I-I want to r-remember him!" 

Natsu's heart broke once again and he didn't hesitate to bring the ice mage into a tight embrace. Gray stiffened a little but let the fire mage hug him.

"We'll get your memories back, that I promise you."

After Gray calmed down, Natsu let go and sat next to him, as he did so the healer walked into the room to check on Gray and when he saw the ice mage sitting up on the bed his eyes widened in surprise, the he smiled. "Ah you're finally awake! how are you feeling?" 

Gray looked at the healer wondering who he was. "I'm feeling okay...but who are you?"

The healer looked at him confused for a moment before turning to Natsu who answered his silent question "He's lost his memory." 

"Ah, Please come with me...I might be able to help..You may come as well Natsu...or you can go call your Guild and let them know that Mr. Fullbuster has woken up." 

Natsu looked at Gray who's eyes held a silent plea for him to come along. "I'll come with you. I can call everyone later." The healer nodded and walked ahead. Natsu grabbed hold of Grays hand and followed behind.
