That time of year

Grays POV

I look up at the mirror and see hollow eyes staring back. Why did things have to go the way they did? Why did I have to run off and try to 'prove' myself? If I had just been more patient...
My head drops as colors started to blur together and my throat constricted. Clenching my jaw, I close my eyes. I feel the tears die down, and my breath comes easier. I just need to hold on for a little longer.
Suddenly, the door slammed open and in comes the idiot.
"Hey, Gray!" Natsu smiles widely. "You'll never believe what just happened! I was walking along down the road..." I drown out everything he's saying.
How could he possibly be happy on a day like this? They day I lost her. I'm not sure if her remembers, but obviously I want to be alone. How insensitive can a person be?
"Go away." I respond coldly. He ignores what I have to say, and grabs my arm trying to drag me along. Something in me snaps, and I rip my arm away. I feel heat surge through my body. My face turns red and I glare down at him.
"Why can't you understand when someone wants nothing to do with you?!" I shout in his face.
"Oh, I'm sorry but should I just leave you here to mope in the Guild bathroom?" His eyes narrow as he leans closer, breathing harshly.
"YES! It's not like you'd understand! You don't even have to mourn. When were you even with your family? It's not like you ever really truly had one!" I yell, storming out of the bathroom.

Natsus POV

For some reason, his words stung more than they should have. He has a point though. I trudge out of the guild and back home, along the path with the hidden fork off it and walk to the large red tree. It was perfect for an honorary tomb since I don't have the money for an actual professionally made one. I sit in-front of the tree, and cross my legs. Tears in my eyes, I look up at it. Chocking down my sobs, I gently smile.
"Hey, dad."

Grays POV
Walking down the street, my coat in my hands, and my emotions on my sleeve, it began to rain. At first a light drizzle, rapidly becoming a downpour. The conversation kept going through my head and the more I thought about it, the guiltier I felt. Turning around I start to make my way to Natsus house. I have to apologize.

Making my way down the path, I could faintly hear someone talking off to the side. I diverge off my original route and head towards it. I got closer and closer until I could finally fully  hear Natsus tearful voice. Stepping out, I see him sitting there looking so broken. I walk over and sit next to him.
"I'm sorry."

Third person POV
Natsu doesn't even bat an eyelash at the apology. Without facing Gray he glumly responds.
"It's okay. Besides, you weren't exactly wrong." Gray stares at him, and frowns. Shaking his head, he pulls Natsu in for a hug. The two sit there, staring at the tree and mourning the losses of their loved ones together.

A/N I know it's really short, and I'm sorry. I'm not really sure what to write anymore, so if you have any ideas don't be afraid to ask.
