Our little secret

T h r e e

So then Gray just upped and left, leaving me there.

"Huh."

Yeah, I'm confused as hell and yeah I'm like, 'what just happened.'

BUT

This is Gray Fullbuster we're talking about here.

He's got mad acting skills, Juvia, a mindset on constantly annoying me, Juvia and he's hell bent on staying that way. We'be been through so so so much together so what the HELL Gray??

Oh. Did I mention Juvia?

Right. Now I'm mad. That pervert just tried to mess with my feelings and expects to walk away unharmed?? WELL, I SAY NO.

Getting myself together, I shake my head and run out of the room, out of the house in hopes of giving Gray a piece of my slightly-dysfunctional mind.

How dare he make me such a confused idiot over nothing!

"IICEEEE PEERVEEEERRT!" I yell out of Lucy's front door. I actually went out the door I'm that bent right now.

"WHERE ARE YOOOOOU", flames spouting from my mouth. I turn right and start running down toward where I smell a lingering Gray sent and make a beeline for it.

I smack straight into some hunched over figure. "AHHHH" I yell back in apology before turning around to continue to follow the smell but it's stopped. It's behind me.

"Gray?" I look at the figure.

He's completely fine, just hunched over.

"Natsu?" He says back, in confusion. "What are you here for?" General, genuine bewilderment surrounding him. What the heck Gray. (a/n pt. 2)

"LOOKING FOR YOU!" I calmly communicate with him. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO PLAY AT YOU PERVERTED PRINCE??" I again, calmly ask him.

Wow, I'm good at this sarcasm thing.

Gray just scoffed. "'Perverted prince'? That's a new one."

I punch him.

"THATS BESIDES THE POINT!!"

Satisfied, I walk home to go to bed, not checking on Gray. HA! That player can check up on himself. What does he need me for? To play with?? Is that it???

Both satisfied, but equally frustrated, I fall into a deep sleep.

{—————}

As I hear happy shouting, I swing myself out of bed. I was quite groggy yesterday, and I feel a bajillion times better now I've slept for like 12 hours.

HAHA. Gray can't play with me today, cause I'm a new man!

I'm getting Elfman connotations...

Okay, maybe I'm not as well rested as I thought I was. I'll just get some food.

I grab some bread and shout at Happy if he wants to go to the guild yet while grabbing my bag. He flies out with a huge grin on his face and snickering from time to time.

It starts to bug me juuuuuust a tiny bit.

"Uhhhh, Happy? Forgive me for being nosey, but why are you laughing?" I can feel my veins popping on my forehead.

"Hehehe." Happy replies. "Natsu~ You were sleep talking~"

This can't be good...

"You kept saying Grays name then moaning so I thought you were hurt~♡"

I knew it.

"But then you kept getting mad and shouting which ruins it..." he added disappointedly. Really Happy?

I don't even bother trying to not say anything to clear the misunderstanding, mainly because it's too long and I myself am not even sure if it WAS a misunderstanding.

We reached the guild, finally, and I head straight to the request board.

"I knew something was wrong!" I heard someone declare. Lucy?

I look over to where her voice was coming from. She's I next to Erza and ew Gray. I head over regardless. Face your situations head on I guess. Worse comes to worst, I can just ignore him.

"What's wrong," I say from behind her, startling her. Hehe, that never gets old.

"Gah- nothing Natsu. I'd appreciate you don't sneak up in me like that." I just ignore her complaints. As per usual.

"Oh, you chose a job. Let's go then." I say to her again.

She looks at me funny. "No, Natsu. This quest is for females only, so me and Erza were just explaining to Gray about this. You can either crossdress or stay. I recommend to stay since its swimsuits..." she trails off.

"Yeah, no swimsuits." I agree with her.

Gray hasn't said anything yet. Weird.

"Well okay then. Me and Natsu will be staying then." He pipes up, as if on cue, with a smirk. "Wanna go to my house, yours, or pick a job?" He adds, as if everything that happened yesterday was eradicated from his memory.

"Uhhh.." I start.

"Mine? Great." He cuts me off. Here we go he's making a move now. THIS IS WHAT I WAS PREPARED FOR GRAY. ARE YOU READY??

"Actually I'll just pick a solo job," I reply, full of pride. HAHA GRAY! DO YOU FEEL THE FRUSTRATION AND FURY??

He looks at me.

"Yeah no, let's just go to my house. You can leave Happy since he seems to be telling an interesting story at the minute."

Then, he had the audacity to full-on grab me and starts dragging me to his house.

We're outside now.

Uhhhh- no.

No thank you, Gray Fullbuster.

"What do you think you're doing Gray?!" I yell as he's running.

"Guess, Natsu." He says back.

HOW IS THAT AN ANSWER??
