Our little secret

F i v e

I'm very sleep deprived but I've finished the GMG arc

"Gray..." I say, my hair hanging over my eyes, giving my face a dark look.

"Hmm?" He says back, starting to walk towards the exit of the train station.

"What are you trying to play at?" I demand. Simple and straightforward.

I'm sick of having to think about what he's on about.

Some people call it "keeping one on one's toes" but I call it "let's see how long it takes for this person to overthink themselves into craziness"

So spit it, Gray.

"Well I was planning to go to an arcade with you, but Magnolia doesn't have one and for the benefit of both of-"

"That's not what I mean" I cut him off.

"I mean what are you playing at with me. You kissed me like that, and now you're pretending that nothing happened and leaving me here to over think everything." I rant to him.

Mumbling, I add, "Don't lead me on"

He just looks at me with a blank expression, seemingly dumbfounded or confused.

"Natsu I-"

"You can't lead me on Gray! I won't let you." Glaring at the ice wizard I turn and walk away from the ironically frozen figure.

I'm frustrated.

I'm so frustrated I can't seem to think straight.

I don't want to hear Gray's voice.

I don't want to see Gray.

I don't want to think about Gray.

But I can't stop doing just that.

I just stare blankly at my feet, letting them take me where they want since thinking will just lead me back to he-who-I-will-not-name.

I bump into many things, apologising to each until I reach my door.

An apology mumbles across my lips before I hear crying.

"NAAAATTSSSUUUU!!~" I hear, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEEEN?? I THOUGHT YOU WENT ON A JOB WITHOUT ME!!"

Ringing is starting to become evident in my ears, but I ignore it. It's just Happy. What can a cat's vocal cords do to my ears?

"Sorry..." I mumble, still out of it as I fall onto my hammock and try to sleep.

-to no avail.

I groan, cause Happy is crying while repeatedly punching me in a windmill like motion.

"Happy, I wouldn't ditch you or lead you on like that," I say, a particular dark haired boy coming into mind again.

Happy sniffed and hugged my leg before crying again.

I smile a little smile an pick him up and hug him.

"But Happy, you were pretty occupied at the guild." I start to question. "What were you telling people?"

Happy instantly stops crying.

"I-I uh." He hiccups. "Umm... May-Maybe I was t-talking about you and, and Gray..? And uh... a-about how you were saying things in, in your sleep?"

Oh for the love of loke, why does that annoying stripper keep on coming up?

I don't press the issue and let Happy calm down.

"Wanna go do some fishing?" I ask Happy, a large smile showing on my face; product of me trying to force my dark thoughts away.

"A-AYE!"

A small real smile shows up

I don't like a/n's but it's important. ((Ily))

I do have like a plot and stuff for this story all written out, but I'm still struggling to write it- sorry

This is pretty rushed and short, and for that, I also apologise.

I'll go back to writing stuff I can read without cringing after this.

Just wait like a month
(I'm jk but it might take a while)
