Seeking Stars In Your Eyes

☆ Fourteen ☆

The next day came so quickly, it was like the blink of an eye.  

Gray wasn't expecting Natsu to have cooked, normally at that. He didn't think it was half-bad. In fact, it was pretty good.  Natsu had made homemade muffins. 

Gray had found that our when he saw Natsu cleaning up, and the oven on.

Natsu smiled and quickly said a morning, and kept moping the floor with headphones in.

Gray didn't think the floor was dirty at all, but he let Natsu keep moping.

Around 12 is when Natsu left, leaving Gray alone in the house with Happy. 

Gray was absentmindedly listening to some show similar to Doctor Phil, One thing he kept in mind is when; "I can't imagine my life without my best friend!"

This for unknown reasons piqued his interest, In truth, he couldn't imagine his life without Natsu. Not having Natsu around, just the thought stressed him out. Sure Natsu may be loud, a messy eater, hyperactive, insecure, and have some problems, But he couldn't imagine Natsu without those traits. Without those, it would not be Natsu. 

Gray remembered when he first met Natsu, He was still the Natsu he knew and admired today, but they weren't rivals at first. They had been close, sharing beds and having sleepovers, and begrudgingly taking baths together (Plus Erza), Natsu had made him really happy. They didn't' get into arguments nearly as much, and at least Gray, was happier then. They didn't have any worries and they were best friends, Then, It all went wrong. 

They had a fight and declared each other rivals. Internally, Gray knew deep down, that he yearned for those days, he wanted to be close to Natsu like that again.

Apart from the taking Baths together with Erza, That had just been scaring.

Meanwhile, with Natsu, he jogged down and over to the Fairy hills where Juvia was waiting for him.

"Natsu-san!"Juvia waved, and Natsu grinned.

"Ready to get your bake on?" Natsu challenged!

"YES!" Juvia grinned and ran to her apartment together.

The duo had preset the oven, mixing some ingredients together, and others together in a separate bowl. Then mix the dry ingredients first then adding the wet ones.  Furiously mixing the mixture into a fine paste.

Afterward, they poured it into a large pan and placed it in the oven.

Then came the waiting.

Juvia and Natsu sat on her blue-green couch, across from each other.  Natsu pulled out his phone, he had gotten a text from Gray, It was a selfie 

Natsu unknowingly put on a pudding face, Juvia saw this and grinned.

"Natsu-san, I know that look!" Juvia squealed; "Is it Gray-san?"

"It's weird hearing you call Gray that, "Natsu admitted. 

Juvia had stopped calling Gray, Gray-sama about 6 months ago, when he told her that he would never love her. Juvia started to get over Gray, thus replacing the sama with san. Since Gray-Kun didn't exactly sound better than Gray-san. Natsu had no idea who she liked now, but it made him happy to know that Juvia wasn't going to randomly take gray from his house hissing about him belonging to her. 

"Mabey." Natsu huffed going red.

"Your face is flushed." Juvia pointed out, then poked his cheek.

"NO ITS NOT! WHAT'RE YOU IMPLYING?"Natsu yelled standing up and crossing his arms into a defensive pose.

"Mmm, You sure that you don't even like him at all?" Juvia raised her eyebrow.
