Melting Gray [Gratsu] by hanlovespasta

Senior year can mean lots of things for people. For Natsu, it simply means turning over a new leaf - not letting his past define his happiness, actually attempting to get his homework taken care of, and maybe making it to graduation without going insane. However, Natsu's plans for senior year vanish before the year hasn't even started, all thanks to new guy Gray Fullbuster, the most interesting, captivating, unique person Natsu has met. But unluckily for him, he's also the most annoying, moody, rude person he's ever met. So Natsu takes on the challenge - to melt Gray's protective outer walls and reach his core to discover the true Gray inside. He know's its going to take a lot of work and a lot of patience, but he's up for the challenge to see behind those sightless eyes. Oh, right. Gray just so happens to be blind. Like it wasn't hard enough already. Warning: Major angst, fluff, and OOC-ness. ©hanlovespasta // 2014
