Gray Pov
Lucy and I continued to skim through the book, taking notes on major points. "There's several of a Dragon Slayer's mating process, in which both halves, Dragon and Man, try to form bonds with their 'mate' ", I read aloud. "One~At first contact the two will easily become friends. Between all Dragon Slayers, there is an instant sense of mutual trust" Lucy laughed. "They sure have the 'friend' part down" I smiled at her, as she continued to laugh at herself. I shook my head before continuing.
"Two~Their emotions will be more intense, and it will reflect in their eyes.
Blue~Sadness, Disappointment
Green~Envy, Jealousy
Red~Anger, Annoyance
Purple~Lust, Love, Want
Grey~Confusion, Betrayal, Guilt
White~Hurt" Lucy's brows furrowed. "So that's what made Natsu beat the shit out of you yesterday, and the day before that? I knew it was more than a normal fight"I felt my cold face heat a little, as I retorted "He didn't beat the shit out of me yesterday! I beat the shit out of him!" Lucy giggled. "Whatever, he still got (Y/n)" I felt myself blush slightly, and began to wonder 'But do I care about (Y/n)...WHAT! YOURE DOING THIS SO YOU CAN HAVE (Y/N) TO YOURSELF!...Plus...Lucy wants Natsu' I shook my head, clearing my thoughts, as I continued reading.
"This is the first stage that is influenced by their 'Dragon half' In this stage, they will begin to wonder why they are growing close so quickly. Doubt thrives. The feeling of betrayal starts to become more immense, and lead to dramatic conclusions"
Lucy jumped up from off her stool. "That's it", she exclaimed triumphantly. "We make them doubt their feelings for each other! We should both interrupt their intimate times, and start to pull them apart" I nodded slowly, and she giggled in delight. Our plan was beginning to take force, and I was no longer sure if I wanted it to work.
(Y/n) Pov
Natsu and I had made up, but we didn't speak to each other as we sulked to the guild. "Silent treatment...Huh?", he spoke solemnly. "I guess", I smiled at the ground. "It's not like you're trying to talk either" We both sighed, and I smiled again. I could feel his gaze set on me even before I looked up at him. "Why do you smile when you're sad?", he whispered. "Why don't you?" He smirked at the sarcasm in my voice, before playfully pushing me. "I asked first"
I looked down, smiling. "Well...I guess I do it to hide that I'm hurting. Showing emotions like these, makes you weak, and I'm not weak", I said looking up at Natsu's concerned face. "Last time I was weak...I was nearly tortured to death...And the time before that...I lost my parents", I looked down again. "The world isn't nice to weak people...I guess that makes it your turn", I mimicked from yesterday.
He didn't say anything, but after awhile he stopped walking. I turned and looked at him, as he sat on a bench. I followed his suite, and sat down next to him. "Well if you think your feelings make you weak, why'd you come over here?" I stared at him blankly 'Why did I come over here?' "I...I don't know...", I whispered in defeat. "(Y/n) feelings don't make you weak, but over coming them makes you stronger"

Me and Gray sat at our normal table, and diligently watched the guild doors. Erza plopped down next to us, raising a brow. "So what are you two planning on doing to them?" Gray and I's eyes widened with shock. 'H-How did she know' As if hearing our thoughts, she continued "Levy told me about the book" Me and Gray looked at each other, then back at Erza.
"Uh-Umm...", I stuttered. Gray sighed, before glaring straight into Erza's eyes. "Can you mind your own business for once? You're so nosy, always poking around in other people's lives, and you wonder why half the guild fears you. It's not like I go around asking Mira how much cake you eat on a daily basis. So tell me Erza, how much weight have you gained?"
I looked at Gray in complete shock as he huffed. Erza's eyes watered, as she ran away wailing. "Woah...Where'd that come from?", I asked still surprised. He was caught in thought for a few moments, deciding what words to give me, before blurting out "Do you really want to do this?"
Gray Pov
"Do you really want to do this?" Lucy looked at me confused, as my mind screamed 'That is not what I meant to say!' "U-Um...", Lucy looked at me concernedly. "W-Why wouldn't I?" I felt my spine slump, my face hit the table, and my lungs deflate; as my heart broke. 'Dammit Gray', I thought covering my head with my hands. 'You're supposed to like (Y/n) dammit!'
"Gray?", she whispered. I sighed longingly. I had just lost the one person, who I cared for...She made me care for more for than a pretty face. I felt a pair of arms slowly snake around my waist. "I...I just thought...We were in it together" 'My heart cracked again' "I-I didn't know...Th-That...You'd doubt yourself...I...I thought you liked (Y/n)" 'Why does her voice sound hurt...' "Gr-Gray...I...I think" I looked up at her hopefully, and her gleam filled eyes stared into mine. 'She doesn't Gray...She likes Natsu...Pull yourself together...Dammit'
"Gray...For the six months I've been here...I've always looked at Natsu, like he was some idol" 'Crack' "He was always there to pick me up when I fell, and always helped be bounce back" 'Break' "I thought for sure we had something special, and I began to want to be more than friends" 'I'm about to shatter' "But in the past few days" 'What?' "I've started to realize that someone else was hiding behind the shadow of my fire breathing prince" 'It's not me. I'm about to explode...It's not me' "I never liked Natsu...I just liked what I imagined him to be...And I've finally realized...That I've always liked..." 'I'm going to explode! Somebody get me out!' "That I've always liked...You...I like you Gray Fullbuster... A lot" 'Wh-What?!'

Fiksi Penggemar"NATSU!", I screamed out in agony. I watched the pinkette fall to the ground, lifeless. "NOT YOU! ANYONE BUT YOU!" I sprinted to his side, paying no attention to my own wounds. "Natsu...Please...Don't leave me...I..I love you", I whispered longingly...
