Break My Fall

Gray Pov

I was getting bored of the conversation Erza and Lucy were having about cake, so I began looking around the guild. I wanted somewhere to be, other than here. I continued scrutinizing every aspect of the guild, until my eyes landed on flame brain. I stood up and began to trek over to him, 'til I realized he was with someone.

Whoever this girl was, she was attractive. Her (h/c) hair framed her face perfectly and her (e/c) eyes looked like jewels. I was about to swoop in and steal her away, but then I realized they were holding hands. 'Are they dating? Dammit' I sulked back over to my table, and noticed that Erza and Lucy were staring at me. I sighed and pointed in Natsu's direction.

Erza smiled, Lucy gasped, and I sunk down into my seat. "Who is that?", Lucy gaped. "I don't know", I spoke solemnly. "But whoever she is, she seems to be best buds with Natsu" Erza laughed catching Lucy and I off guard. "Do you honestly think Natsu could get a girl like that? He's so short tempered, she would throw him out a window"

I sat up smiling, and Lucy let out a sigh of relief. "Good point, can I tell you guys a secret", Lucy whispered. Me and Erza looked at each other, before saying in sync "You like Natsu" Lucy's eyes bulged as she looked at us in complete shock. "Is it that obvious?! Do you think Natsu knows!?" Erza sighed and shook her head. "You only give it away when he's not around", I reassured her.

I looked back over at the two of them, and saw Natsu stand to leave. He began walking our way, and I grinned deviously. "Oi", he said sitting down. "Hey Natsu", Lucy spoke cheerfully. I watched the girl walk away from the bar, looking around for something. When her eyes landed on Natsu she started to stride towards us. She got to the table, and before she could say a word, I stood up and

Natsu Pov

As (Y/n) began to speak to our group, Gray stood up and kissed her. 'GRAY?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? SHES MY GIRLFR-...Wait...We aren't even together...Why do I care?' After watching the scene unfold for a few moments, I punched Gray across the guild. (Y/n) stayed standing completely stunned for a few minutes, before sitting down hesitantly.

"Sorry, he's usually not like that", Erza spoke shaking her head. "It's okay, I mean I've been through worse", (Y/n) tried to laugh it off. She put her head on the table, and sighed. I cocked my head slightly as she whispered something she thought was inaudible. "Why does this always happen to me" My mind was sent off on a tangent.

'Wait wait wait, this has happened to her before? Who? Why? Why did Gray of all people just kiss her...Wait...REALLY! HE JUST CAME UP AND KISSED MY GIRL?!?! But she isn't my girl...But we came in together right? GRAY NEEDS TO MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS SERIOUSLY!!! UUUUGGGHHHH'

(Y/n) Pov

I watched as Natsu stood abruptly. I sat up as he walked off in the direction of the guy who kissed me. I watched the guy stand up, then Natsu punched him down again. I thought he was done, but his hands lit up in flames. "Don't you ever touch her again!", I heard faintly across the room. Natsu began to punch the guy, and I knew it was going south fast.

'Dammit! He's a dragon slayer, he heard me...But why does he care' I stood up, and ran over to Natsu and the guy. "Natsu! Stop it!", I yelled in his ear. He didn't stop, he punched harder. "Dammit! STOP!" He continued to punch harder and faster. I did the last thing I thought I could do, and shielded the guy's body with mine.

Natsu Pov

'I have to end him. He hurt (Y/n). He has to die' I felt a side of me take over that I'd never met. The jealousy inside of me consumed who I was, and I began to beat the crap out of Gray. I heard him beg for mercy, but that wasn't good enough. "Natsu! Stop it!", there was a whisper in my head. "Dammit! STOP!" I didn't stop, I couldn't stop. Justice must be served.

I saw (Y/n) get between me and Gray. I didn't know what to say, other than "Move." She said a few things I couldn't hear, and I felt a sharp pain hit my side. I wouldn't back down "Move." I saw tears fill her eyes, and I began to realize what I was doing. I heard her say "Crystal Dragon Sleep", and like that I was out.

(Y/n) Pov

I didn't want to use that charm, but I had no other choice. Celeste said it could be lethal if performed wrong, but it should just knock him out. His body fell limp, and helped the poor sap who kissed me up. "(Y/n)", I said sticking a hand out to him. "Gray", he smiled shaking my hand. "Don't do that again, or for God's sake I'll murder you", I glared darkly. His smile fell, and he nodded rapidly.

I walked over to Natsu's body, and checked for a pulse. I felt it, and let out the breath I didn't know I was holding in. It was after that when I realized the whole guild was staring at me. "What y'all looking at?", I stammered. "More like who", someone random in the sea of people retorted. "Who am I? None other than (Y/n) (L/n)! The last Crystal Dragon Slayer!" A cheer broke out across the room, and I smiled.

I've found my family
