Seeking Stars In Your Eyes

☆ Twenty-Two☆

So idk if I should put a trigger warning or not but there's some bloody and fucked up stuff in the beginning. I'll say when it's over in case yall wanna skip.

Natsu was having a gruesome nightmare. It was bloody, confusing, and terrifying. 

It was a dark room with a single mirror and he was tied into a chair staring into the mirror. He was seated right in front of the mirror. He saw himself and his worst qualities and fears, his horrible mother, his drunkard of a father, His sister, and Zeref. 

The mirror itself was simple, Tall and not very thick, oval-shaped with simple black iron framing and stand. The one detail that made this mirror unique was the special shape on the top, it was like black vines and thorns with a single red dagger in it.

Surrounding the mirror and himself was the dead, bloodied and dismembered bodies of his friends and loved ones. Within the mirror Natsu saw his mother break a bottle, it sent shivers down his spine. With that broken, sharp, edged bottle, she smashed it on the ground and Natsu's neck started to bleed. 

Natsu tried to close his eyes to avoid seeing it but all he could see was blood red and his eyes started to burn, like if someone poured vinegar in his eyes. He opened his eyes to see a glitched out Gray in the mirror alongside everyone else. His mother snapped his neck and sent blood flying.

Natsu screamed and screamed, all he could see was his friends' dead bodies all with horrible and gruesome deaths whenever he looked at them. Erza with her body sawed in half roughly and bleeding from the eyes, Lucy had no eyes and had he skull crushed and spread out on the ground. Wendy had her head dismembered. The rest were repetitive yet still uniquely gruesome. Impalation, guts, brains, blood, disfiguration, and being cut up in gross and weird ways.

Alright It's done

Natsu screamed and yelled enough till he woke himself up. He sat up gasping for air, his eyes were wild with fear. His door opened and Natsu whipped his head over to look, his eyes still wild with fear but he saw Gray looking concerned at his door. His hair was ruffled and he had deeper bags under his eyes, but his eyes shone with concern in the glint of night. He had a pillow in his hand. He was shirtless and his pajama pants were off center. 

"You were screaming, "Gray sat at the foot of his bed.

"I'm sorry for waking you up, "Natsu apologized.

"I don't mind. What was your nightmare about?" Gray pulled Natsu into a tight hug.

"Fucked up shit and bad memories, I really, don't want to explain more than that. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm immensely sorry," Natsu hugged back trying not to cry.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm serious, it's okay." Gray ruffled Natsu's pink fluffy hair.

"Can you stay in here? IT'S OKAY IF YOU DON'T WANT TO THOUGH. Sorry, I just have a feeling that I'll have a lot better dreams," Natsu rubbed the back of his neck.

Gray's eyes went wide and started looking around the room.
He held back a big dorky grin, "Yea, I'd love you, I MEAN I'D LOVE TO, Uhh I mean, sure."

Natsu flickered a smile for a second, then it fell again, images flashing through his mind.

Gray hugged him and an idea flipped into his head, "Rember when you said semen was edible?"

Natsu's face went red, "Yea...Why?"

Natsu laughed a little in memory, feeling a little anxious about the places his mind was going.

"Hmm? If you ate semen, would it cheer you up?" Gray didn't realize at first how dirty that sounded, then like a truck him his eyes popped wide, and his face went extremely scarlet, "That- uh-"

Natsu didn't look at gray and stuttered for a few moments, "Depends on who's semen it is."

Gray laughed awkwardly, Natsu faceplanted on a pillow, each one having internal gay panic.

[10 seconds of Gay silence]

"Um, ah, Jk," Gray started laughing awkwardly his eyes darting around the room.

"Yea," Natsu, sucked in his breath quietly and pulled gray into a cuddle.

Gray made some noise, like a cross between a moan, an oh, and a screech.

"Just sleep."Natsu closed his eyes, focusing on Gray's scent.

Soon enough they were asleep, but while they were sleeping Happy came in, and started taking photos of them cuddling each other. 

When they awoke it was almost 11 am, Gray and Natsu made a b-line to the kitchen, Natsu going over to the fridge to find his leftover lasagna, meanwhile Gray was making earl-gray tea. Talk about irony.

Natsu seemed to like more herbal teas Gray noticed. He had peach, peppermint, Pomegranate raspberry, green tea, lavender, normal tea, earl-gray, iced teas, and a few Carmel chais.

Gray seeing the Carmel ones remembered something, 'I'm always a slut for salted caramel though.'

Gray laughed, and Natsu turned to him with raised eyebrows and pasta in his mouth.

"Dude, you're a slut for salted Carmel remember?" Gray smirked.

Natsu laughed, then immediately started coughing because of the food in his mouth.

"Careful, if you choke on pasta now you cant choke on other much bigger things."Gray hit Natsu on the back a few times.

Natsu put a hand over his face, "Damn my mind is dirty for someone who's fairly pure."

"Wow." Gray rubbed the back of his neck, "Natsu can I talk to you about something important?"

"Of course." Natsu looked him in the eyes, with concern and love.
