f i v e

my feelings were all mixed up...

"Mystogan?" I was new to feelings and all.. and I've known Mystogan for a long time so..
     "Hm?" He looked at me, as if nothing had happened.
     "Do you really think Gray has a crush on me?" I didn't want to believe it's true, Gray and I had basically been best friends for as long as I could remember.
     "If I'm being honest Talia, I think he does like you, I just think he isn't very good at showing it, and Natsu... what's he gonna think if you two start dating?" Oh yeah Natsu... what would he say? Wait.
"WAIT YOU LITTLE BLUE HAIRED SHIT I NEVER SAID I LIKED HIM I NEVER SAID I WAS GONNA DATE ICE BOY EITHER YOU.." Mystogan pissed me off all the time, so this was normal, him being his...teasing self.
"Calm down, there's a vein on your forehead." He said poking my face, sticking his tongue out, and running off into the city.
"MYSTOGAN YOU ARE SO DEAD." I chased after him finally catching up to him and tackling him onto the cold cement.
     "Ha! This is what you get for teasing and poking me!" I giggled and poked his forehead.
     "Taliaaaaaaaa" he whined, I got off him and helped him up.

*Time skip to when they are on their way back to the guild*

Mystogan's pov

     Talia got knocked out when we had to fight some jerks from a dark guild that got in our way, she had cuts and bruises on various locations of her body, she was so delicate and fragile and I couldn't stand seeing her hurt.

     I would probably get an earful from Gray when we got back to the guild, and a beating from Natsu, I shivered, sighed, and picked up my unconscious friend bridal style. I headed back to magnolia holding Talia close to me. She would need to be sent to the infirmary immediately as soon as I got there.

     As I neared the guild people looked our way and I tried not blush when people would comment how cute we were together or that they would go 'aw' and coo at us. Talia will never be anything more than a friend, my best friend.

     I pushed through the guild doors, not caring that people saw me, usually I would cast a sleeping spell so no one saw me, but this was more important than what I wanted.
     "Please, help her, she's unconscious and her breathing is going down," I held her closer to me noticing a very pissed off Gray glaring daggers at me. I sweat dropped, and looked away nervously.
     "Of course bring her to the infirmary now!" Mira demanded, waiting for me to head into the room, before she walked in behind me as I set a very frail Talia in the bed.
    "I'll be needing you to leave the room for a few minuets," She looked at me dead serious. If we're being honest, Mira is so sweet and kind but if you get on her bad side, you're in for unimaginable pain and suffering, for she is the she-devil after all.
     "Of course,"

     I left the room shutting the door quietly behind me only to be confronted by Gray who poked my chest making me back into the door, man when did he get so scary? I sweat dropped again avoiding his intense gaze on me.

     "You tell me everything that happened, and I find out you're lying about this I won't hesitate to knock you out," I nodded vigorously, hesitating to speak, but finally spoke up, only to get cut off by the one and only, Cana Alberona.
     "Gray, your clothes?" Cana smirked while holding her alcoholic drink close to her, then proceeding to chug the strong booze.
     "CRAP! AGAIN?" He looked down and noticed he was in his boxers. He sweat dropped.
     "WHY THE HELL DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN?" He shouted, aggravated at himself for letting this happen once again.

     I took this opportunity to slip away from the door and upstairs to the S-class floor, sighing heavily as I knew Gray couldn't interrogate me up here. I sat down in one of the many chairs, watching how this all play out, when I Mira walk out of the door and asked Gray if he would like to come see her, since it's obvious they like each other. 

Gray's pov

     I was sitting at the bar, sulking, as usual, when Mira came out of the infirmary and up to me asking if I wanted to see Talia. Of course I did so I nodded, but before I got up, I noticed a pink haired fire eater rush in to see her.

     I quietly walked in behind him and shut the door as I went to sit on the other side of the bed. I looked at the fragile pink haired mage and looked up at Natsu.
     "I knew she could take care of herself but I'm worried now," he said gently caressing her cheek and smiled at her weakly.
     "She looks so peaceful when she's sleeping," Natsu and I both said at the same time.
     "Yeah she really does, I just hope she wakes up soon..." I looked at her and started sighing. I miss you already Talia.. please wake up soon...
