Secrets

Chappie 2

A few weeks had passed since that fateful day. Natsu and Gray had done a great job of hiding their relationship... So well that even Erza had almost forgotten the two were together! But, Gray was slowly getting tired of Natsu's whining. So, he sat with her at a table; just them.

"Natsu, why do you keep whining? I don't even know what you're whining about, I don't understand whine-talk."

"Sorry, but it's getting annoying that I can't lean against you or hold your hand in the guild!" She whispered.

"Well, what do you think we should do?"

Natsu flinched at the coldness in his voice. She hadn't heard that in weeks.

"I don't know, that's what I wanted to ask you." She said quietly as she looked down. Gray didn't notice and continued.

"I mean, come on! You can think for yourself, right?"

"Yeah, but-" "But what?!"

The guild ignored them; thinking it was just another one of their rivaled arguments. She looked down as tears strolled down her face.

"Why are you being like this?" She said shakily. Erza and Lucy were alerted by her tone and they snuck closer to listen in.

"What do you mean by that, huh?"

She hiccupped and looked up at him; tears streaming down. His face softened, but as he got up to comfort her, she ran out of the guild crying. Erza pretended like she hadn't known what happened as she ran up to him.

"Gray, what happened with Natsu?"

"Don't worry, I'll go get her."

He ran out of the guild after her. He ran down the street, looking left and right, but seen no sign of her. He stopped and looked around. No one was there. He decided to walk on and look in the alleys. While he walked passed, he saw a spike of pink hair. He chuckled lightly and walked over to her. As he did, he heard her sobs.

"Hey," He said softly.

"You okay, Nat?"

She looked over to him.

"Why do you care, Gray?"

"Because you're mine."

She smiled slightly. He got on the ground next to her and she leaned into his chest.

"Wait..." Natsu said as she stood up.

"Let's move away from the trashcan." She said with a laugh. He laughed along and they moved to the wall and got back into the same position; Gray's arm around her shoulders. Little did they know, the rest of the guild followed Gray and were now watching the two together.

"Gray?"

"Hmm?"

"Do we tell the others?"

"Maybe later today, but for now, let's just stay here."

She laughed and nuzzled into his shirt. They all smiled and headed back to surprise the two of them.

*-Time skip: 15 minutes later-*

Gray and Natsu had gone to his house as it started to get dark. They settled on the couch as Gray scrolled for a movie.

"What do you wanna watch?" He asked. Natsu shrugged as she traced shapes on his free arm.

"Wanna go upstairs instead?"

He raised an eyebrow as she giggled. So, he picked her up and walked upstairs as she squealed and laughed.

*-Back at the guild-*

Erza paced as everyone waited for the two. Lucy saw her anxiousness and smiled.

"Hey, Erza, do you think they went home for the night?"

"Maybe, but it's not likely. Since when does Natsu go home early?"

"Maybe her and Gray needed alone time?" Mirajane offered. Erza sighed as she opened the guild doors.

"I really hope you're wrong, Mira."

She walked for a while before she stopped in front of Gray's house when she heard Natsu talking downstairs.

'So she is here,' Erza thought.

'But why?'
