Seeking Stars In Your Eyes

☆Thirty-Four☆

Natsu woke up around eleven am snuggled into Gray, who was awake and reading.

"Oh good your up." Gray said softly.

"I had a weird dream, I like had this nightmare-"

"Babe that wasn't a dream." Gray deadpanned

'Oh shit my bad."

Gray kissed Natsu's forehead, "I love you, but when will you learn to wake me up?"

"When you learn to fucking talk about your issues," Natsu said grinning.

"Touche." 

"C'mon I'm hungry! Meds make me hungry," Natsu pouted.

Gray and Natsu climbed out of their bed and skipped down to the kitchen.

"So are you going to tell me what was up or not?" Gray raised an eyebrow.

"I'm going to kill my mother." Natsu said like it was, oh I'm going to Erza's.

Gray spit his tea out, "I'm sorry what?" 

"Gray, don't waste the fucking tea." Natsu cleaned the tea up.

Gray glared, "I hate your mom too, I just-"

"I hate her more. You don't know..." Natsu faltered, "I made up my mind about it. Plus the world's a better place with her not in it." 

"Can you actually kill her though?" Gray sighed, "I don't want to loose you."

Natsu shifted, "Yes."

Gray sighed and placed his hands on Natsu's shoulders, "Let's be practical, She's stronger, She has emotional control over you-"

"SHE DOES NOT!" Natsu snapped.

Gray flinched.

"Sorry." Natsu glued his eyes to the floor

"The fact that you reacted that way just proves my point; and plus, I don't want you to be a murderer! Could you live with that guilt?"

Natsu sighed; "Is Cece up yet?"

"Don't change the subject," Gray said

"Nwatsu? Gway?" Cece  said standing atop the stairwell in a shirt too big for her that it dragged on the floor.

"Hey!" Natsu smiled and picked her up, "Pancakes or Waffles?"

"WAFFLES!" Cece cheered.

Gray looked at Natsu and pursed his lips, "We're continuing this conversation later."

"There's nothing to discuss." Natsu said turning on the TV for Cece.

"Bulls-"

"Language! There is a child present!"

"Apparently two." 

Natsu glared at him, "Give me the milk."

"Alright alright." Gray said walking to the fridge, "Your welcome.' 

Natsu made the waffles as Gray took his teacup into the living room and asked Cece about the show she was watching.  Natsu looked at the two and smiled, then he sighed.

He didn't like arguing with Gray, and he'd settle it later, when there wasn't impressionable young children around to hear about murder and sending a bitch to the homophobic section of hell.

Natsu whipped out his blueberries and strawberries, making Gray blueberry, himself strawberry and Cece mixed fruit Belgium waffles.

Natsu pulled out his half-empty bottle of syrup and set it on the table along with a bottle of Saracha for Cece who always put it on everything. Including waffles.

"Why're you two fighting?" Cece asked as she sat down at the table.

"Oh we weren't fighting! We had a small disagreement about something."  Natsu patted her head, "We'll figure it out. Don't worry."

"Okay!" Cece cheered and dug into her waffles.

Cece and Natsu drowned their waffles in syrup.

Gray sighed, "Y'all weird."

"You just now learned that?" 

"Well,uh, no." Gray sipped earl gray.

Cece went outside to play, Gray watched her from the glass sliding door, "I don't want you to become a murderer! I don't think you could handle that! Especially not with-"

"Not with everything else?" Natsu sighed.

"I didn't mean it like that."

"Oh I know." Natsu sighed, "But what if it makes it all just stop-?"

"It won't. Trust me. Deliorah was dead and there was no one to take revenge on. I still had nightmares. You cant unsee it, and you can't change the past. You of all people should know that." Gray sat down.

Natsu flinched, "I didn't think about-"

"Yeah, I know. That's why I brought it up."

Natsu hugged Gray; "I don't want you to suffer."

"I don't want you to either." Gray kissed the top of Natsu's head.

"What if we like, banished her to like Edolas but, except there's no one?" Natsu looked up at Gray.

"Fine...I'll look into it." Gray sighed.
