He's sweet as sugar, I'm hard as ice. Hurt him once and I'll kill you twice.

Chapter 10

{Natsu POV}

I was so glad to be back alive. Seeing Gray and my family again was the best thing to ever happen to me. When I woke up, I found myself in Gray's arms, both of us naked. I shuddered at the amount of activity last night. My stomach still throbbed.

"Hey, Gray," I turned around in the bed, facing him. "Gray..." I whispered, trying to wake him up.

"Mmm..." He opened his eyes. "Good morning." He said, kissing me. "You feeling ok?"

"Not really. My insides ar throbbing."

"Great."

"We should get out." I said, sitting up. "Ugh, it hurts..."

Gray sat up and kissed my back, working his way up my spine, making me shudder. "I'm sorry. But you're really lewd when you can be."

My face went hot. "Yeah, whatever."

He helped me change into my clothes and helped me up. "We should shower. And get all of that stuff out of your ass."

"Yeah."

. . .

"Cmon, lets go see if anyone woke up." I grabbed his hand and led him outside.

"Wow..." The whole guild was trashed. Everyone was lying around, wasted. Lucy was going around, cleaning after everyone. She rolled her new wheelchair around, picking up trash.

"Lucy!" I whisper-shouted. She looked up and smiled.

"Good morning!" She whisper-shouted back. She waved, and continued.

"Let's go help her out." Gray suggested. I nodded, and we walked towards her.

"Thanks, guys. I came here a few minutes before, and this is the scene I came to. I guess Fairy Tail just never changes."

"Yep."

. . .

After a few minutes, everyone woke up, and it was as if nothing happened. Typical Fairy Tail.

"Lucy! Why are you in a wheelchair?" Some people asked. I guess they haven't seen her yet.

The story went around, and they all looked sadly at her.

"Seriously, everyone is over exaggerating. I'll be fine! I'm in a wheelchair. So what?" She made sure to reassure everyone.

"Hey, Natsu..." Gray pulled me aside. I looked at him with a smile, but it disappeared when he gave me a serious glare.

"What is it?" I asked. He looked at me sternly. "What?"

"You...Do you think we should go visit Sting?" I stood frozen for a second. He wasn't very high on my Talk-About list, and I avoided the subject as much as possible.

"Look, Gray-"

"Seriously. I really want to go punch his lights out. It's been a year already. What if he's torturing some other poor guy or girl?" I thought about it. "If you don't want to, you don't have to. I can imagine it being scary for you. But we need to do it. To show him that you're happy with me no matter what he does to you."

I thought about it. I trained for a long time to get over my fear of him. And Gray's right. I need to do this. "Let's go ask Gramps first. He said he'll talk to the Council about him."

"You think we should tell the other Sabers about him?" I thought about it again.

"Only his close friends. Like Rogue, or Lector."

"Alright."

We headed towards Gramp's office, and opened the door. He was filling out some paperwork.
