Icy Hot Love

Confessions

As Natsumi slept, Gray crept over to where said girl slept he discreetly watched her, reaching out to touch a strand of her pink hair. He drew his hand back unsure if it was such a good idea to bother the sleeping female dragon slayer.

Natsumi twists and turned in her sleep mumbling incoherently gray stepped back sweating he grew curious wondering if she'd say his name in her sleep. But to his displeasure she didn't.

Gray begrudgingly walked to his bed sat down before running his hand through his hair. "What the hell am I thinking? She doesn't like me. " He says to himself, lowering his head.

Natsumi stirred once more in her sleep, Gray's name spilled from her lips, just hearing his name come from her made Gray's heart thump. This feeling that he felt was alien and new. His hair shields his eyes as he hid his expression.

Natsumi slowly wakes up, she rubbed her eyes letting everything come into peripheral vision, her vision cleared and she found herself looking at Gray.

" Ugh... What are you looking at?" Natsumi questions still a bit sleepy.

Gray quickly avoids her gaze. "Nothing sheesh we should be getting back to Haregon." Was his response, natsumi's eyes narrow slightly but she didn't say anything else.

Natsumi wanted to say something, but she bit her tongue, the pinkette gets off the bed with a yawn.

Gray eyes her figure discreetly, and fails natsumi catches him staring at her, she couldn't help but smirk smugly. Resting her hands on her hips she waits for him to meet her gaze.

" So, you like what you see?" She asked a bit smugly. Gray sputters he turned his back to her hiding his blush.

" S-shut up you flamebrain" He retorts heading over to the exit of the inn.

" You can be cute sometimes, but doesn't juvia like you ? " Natsumi questions cocking her head to the side.

When she mentioned Juvia, Gray groaned shoving his hands through his hair. "She LIKES me, I like someone else, someone who obviously doesn't feel the same..." He responds, looking down at his feet.

Natsumi said a soft oh, but when he said that he liked someone that wasn't her, her heart broke a little. "I hope whoever she is, will be happy." She woefully said.

Gray clenched the side of his face. "It's you! You idiot!" He exclaimed growing angry with her.

Natsumi points to herself a shocked expression on her face. "M-me....?" She questions in evident shock.

Gray could only stare at her he pinched the bridge of his nose, clenching the side of his head in obvious exasperation. "Do I have to spell it out for you?" He irritably asked, hoping she would understand.

Natsumi shakes her head no, of course she understood what he meant but what she didn't understand is why he chose her to like. Plus she was sure that he didn't find her attractive.

" I'm confused onto why you like me... There is nothing feminine about me. So why?" Natsumi warily asks, resting her hands firm on her hips.

" Because ! I just do! You don't have to be feminine or girly, I like you for you even IF you like Sting... I'll still like you, you damn fire-breathing dragon..." Gray frustratedly answers kicking at the floor of the room they shared.

Natsumi inched close to him, until she was in his personal space she envelopes him in a hug her arms around his torso. She buried her face into his chest.

Gray did not expect for her, to hug him let alone bury her face into his torso. It caught him off guard, so he wordlessly wrapped his arms around her, returning the hug.

" Sheesh nat you do drive me crazy." He softly mumbles, natsumi laughed under her breath keeping her arms around him, she had no intention of letting go nor did gray.
