Seeking Stars In Your Eyes

☆ Ten ☆

I've been Listening to undertale music all day, I have a problem...I swear its just too Good... Also, it's like 11 pm and I don't give a shit, this may be published after midnight...

Gray stayed silent as Natsu and he walked back to Natsu's house. Their house? He didn't know what to call it. Gray didn't know how long he would be living with Natsu, Or if he would ever move out. So far it hasn't been bad...  per se, just different. Gray was used to loud street noises, Having to do everything himself, and just generally not having anyone around.

Gray knew Natsu slept in a bed, he had seen it. Gray didn't know why, but subconsciously he remembered the fact that Natsu slept on the right side of his bed whilst Gray slept on the Left. A warm and tingly feeling encased him as he thought about it. Gray had the sudden urge to hug Natsu and bury his face in his hair.

Gray froze in his tracks, his eyes wide. A sudden thought had hit him, but he shook his head and the thought away with it. Gray glued his eyes to ground his face dusted pink.

Natsu hadn't noticed when Gray stopped for the split second, but he did notice, is that Gray was keeping his eyes on the ground and was looking everywhere but Natsu. Natsu grabbed Gray's shoulder and pulled him faster down a few houses and onto the front porch of his own house. 

"You alright, man?" Natsu asked concern lacing his words.

"I'm fine." Gray lied through his teeth, "Seriously." 

"Riiight, And I'm a blue cat." Natsu rolled his eyes and unlocked the door, "Ladies first, Ice Princess. "  

"Thank- HEY!" Gray realized what Natsu had said.

"Pff, just get in." Natsu pushed him in enough so he could get in and close the door behind him, "So ya liar, what's on your mind?" 

"I'm not a liar." Gray was surprised Natsu had seen through his lie and tried his best to Stall. He needed to stall, he wasn't sure how to word his question.

"Well, you just lied a minute ago, so spill." Natsu sat on the couch and put his feet on the coffee table.

"I...Uhm..."Gray made a lousy excuse and said he needed to use the bathroom.

"Um... You just went like five minutes ago in the cafe... You sure your not stalling?" Natsu didn' t chase Gray as he ran up to the bathroom, but he did speak loud enough for Gray to hear him.

Gray locked himself in the bathroom, He had heard Natsu's reply. He calmed himself and regained his composure. 

Just tell him the truth, That your questioning your sexuality. Simply don't mention that he is the reason that your questioning it, that's all! He's nothing more to you than your best friend and housemate. I'm sure whatever what I'm feeling towards Natsu will go away in a couple days...I'm sure the urge to hug him was because he's a good hugger. About the urge to bury my face in his hair was because it's soft and Fluffy and It smells like pomegranates.

Gray sighed, his inner monologue was right. He just needed to be vague. Those excuses made total sense to himself. He convinced himself of it. It wasn't the first time he had done this. Gray wasn't afraid of being LGBT if that's what your thinking, In fact, He was fairly sure that he was LGBT. Gray was afraid of romantic emotions just in general, He always ran away from them or denied them. Gray wasn't the best when it came to handling emotions. He was always afraid of wrecking a friendship or his emotions not being real. So, he ran away from them. He was never taught how to deal with emotions, like a certain fire dragon slayer.

Gray unlocked the bathroom door and sat next to Natsu, "I was stalling because I needed to figure my wording." 

"Alright. Spill then." Natsu sipped a cup full of fire.
