Seeking Stars In Your Eyes

☆Thirty-Two☆

(IM sO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING AHHHHH)

Natsu was awake at 10 am. Gray was cuddled up against him, Natsu was normally the latter to wake up, but today he was excited. Today he was supposed to babysit Cece. The adorable little innocent girl, who last time called Gray his husband.

Nastu smiled dorkily, that would be nice. 

Natsu snuggled into Gray's chest, Gray was snuggled up to him but that's because Natsu went to sleep first, Gray's chest, to put it bluntly, was a damn snack. So was something else but Natsu just smiled to himself.

Natsu was so short, and Gray, well wasn't. So like any sane boyfriend, he would koala hug him. Those are some amazing hugs.

Soon after Natsu was rubbing his face deeper into Gray's chest, he felt kisses being planted on his head. He looked up into the stunning face of his boyfriend smiling down at him.

Ugh my computer died so now I write on the phone
"Hi, cutie, " Gray's voice was a little scratchy.

"Hi, Daddy, " Natsu giggled.

Gray didn't reply, all he did was smirk and wink.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Natsu blinked, maybe not as oblivious as he lets on.

Gray laughed getting up, "C'mon Flame-Babe, don't you have plans today?"

Natsu smiled like the dork he is, "MHM! Babysitting!"

Gray instantaneously replies, " Says the baby."

Natsu pouted, "I' m  Nineteen!"

"And I'm Eighteen, too bad we can't just be seventeen, " Gray smiled knowingly

Natsu laughed and got out of bed following Gray.

Natsu did feel a little anxious about what's to come, but he doesn't even know about what will cause more anxiety.

But we won't worry about that yet.

Cece over around 11 am, Natsu greeted her by the door, and she started hugging his leg singing 'uncle Natsu'.

Natsu picked her up and placed her on his shoulders and held her feet so she doesn't fall.

"Hi Cece, " Gray greeted the small child with a small smile.

"UNCLE NATSU HUSBAND GRAY!! YAY!!!" She giggled and clapped her hands.

Natsu blushed and giggled while Gray, too, was flushed.

"C'mon you can watch tv while we make waffles, " Natsu brought her to the living room and popped her on his couch and handed her a remote.

"I want MEW MEW KISSY CUTIE!!" Cece threw her hands in the air above her head and waves them around.

Natsu chuckled, "Alright, Haven't you seen all of it three times already?"

Cece blinked and played her with her sundress, "So?"

Natsu shrugged "Fair enough, "

Natsu put on Mew Mew for her and placed the remote on the table

Natsu walked into the Kitchen where Gray was reading a book.

"Now it's waffle making time!" Natsu smiled and fiercely grabbed ingredients mixed them into a batter, should someone be concerned?

"Uh, okay, I'm just not going to question it." Gray peered over his book.

"It's probably best not to-" Erza cut in, sliding through the window.

Grays's head snapped up, "Well hello to you too."

"Hi Erza, " Natsu didn't even blink.

"What's up, Gays?" Erza smiled a little too gleefully at the boys.

"Just babysitting," Natsu smiled, knowing her, He knew what she was doing.

Erza went star eyed as she gasped, Erza loved kids. She loved taking care of them and doing cute and innocent little activities with them.

"OOH! What's thier name? Can I meet them? Please??" Erza grinned.

"Cece and sure, She's in the living room." Natsu pointed his spatula towards the living room.

Natsu continued to make some waffles and brought out some whip cream and Strawberries to put on them, with, of course, syrup. 

"FOOD IS DONE!" Natsu said vehemently.

Gray propped his book up so he could eat and read at the same time, Erza came in with Cece by the hand, and Natsu sat down lastly, "Let's eat, my dude and dudettes" 

"Thanks, Natsu,"  The three of them echoed.

Natsu laughed, "It's no problem."

They didn't exactly eat in silence as they laughed a lot and talked loudly, except for Gray. 

Gray was silent the whole time, whether it was from reading, or something else, Natsu didn't know.

But deep down, Gray had resentment towards his own feelings, and he hated that. He hated that he was jealous of Erza. He knew that Natsu was gay, and furthermore, Erza is dating someone already. But yet here he was, jealous of how close they're friendship was, How used to Erza barging in Natsu was.  After all, Gray and Natsu have known each other longer, but they all spent a lot of time together, and in duos. 

Gray closed his eyes and sighed, he knew he should tell Natsu this, but he didn't really want to. It just felt stupid and childish. He always hated being jealous, whether it was towards Erza or Lisanna, Lucy or Natsu.

Being jealous jut put him in a mood, one he wasn't proud of.

Gray abruptly stood up, snapped his book closed and placed his dish by the sink. 

"Gray?" Natsu raised an eyebrow.

Gray didn't reply, all he did was run up the stairs. But not to his room. He swept past the painting and down into the tunnels and started to stare at the photos of Natsu and Erza in them. How much fun they had in those pictures.

Gray felt a sinking feeling in his chest and hugged his knees. 

"Gray?" Natsu ran up the stairs, concerned, and followed his scent into the Natsu cave.

"What's wrong?" Natsu sat down next to him, "Gray?"

Gray didn't respond promptly but after a good 10 minutes, 

"I guess I'm jealous," Gray muttered, barely audible.

"Jealous?" Natsu spoke incredibly.

Gray lifted his head but didn't look at him.

"Can I ask why?" 

"Erza."

Natsu furrowed his eyebrows, "Why are you- oh."

"Yea."  Gray sucked his lips in.

Natsu hugged Gray, "You know I love you, right?" 

Gray smiled weakly, "Yea, but I just can't help it."

"Want to talk about it?"

Gray laughed, "We've gone soft, but sure. Wait, what about Cece and Erza?" 

"She's giving her some of our ice cream." Natsu waved the question off.
