Here's part two for everyone's convenience! It's not very long so…consider it an epilogue or something. Enjoy! :3


Part 2:

Gray awoke that morning without opening his eyes. His head already throbbed and his back ached. Dammit, what the hell happened last night? He thought irritably. He opened his eyes only for them to be burned from the light streaming through the widows.

"Argh, who the hell opened my curtains?" he grumbled as he sat up lazily. Gray's head felt as if he were being hit over the head multiple times. He took a quick glance around his room. Man, I need to clean up someday.

"Gray? You're awake." he looked up to see Natsu peaking through his door.

"Hey Natsu. What are you doing here?" Gray's curiosity rose when Natsu walked in holding a coffee mug and wearing nothing but one of his dress shirts. It was too big for him, but then again that shirt was big on Gray as well.

"Oh, you don't remember what happened last night?" Natsu gripped his for arm self-consciously and his face dusted pink. Gray racked his brain for any events that happened last night. He remembered getting drunk that's for sure. The rest of the night seemed hazy, but he can give a mighty good guess of what did happen.

Gray felt his face heat. He felt incredibly guilty now. "Oh god. Oh god, please tell me I didn't…" Gray placed a hand over his forehead and right eye preparing for the worst. As an answer Natsu shifted uncomfortably on his feet looking embarrassed.

"Oh no, I'm such an idiot!" Gray collapsed back down on his bed. He looked back at Natsu apologetically. "I am so sorry, Natsu. I-I was drunk a-and I probably forced myself on you. Oh man, it wasn't supposed to be like this." Gray's forearm covered his eyes.

"I-it's fine Gray. I'm not mad at you, so you can stop beating yourself up already." Natsu chuckled. He gave Gray the coffee mug full of water. "I figured you'd have a headache when you wake up so I got you some water.

Gray drank it gratefully. "But I-I don't understand. I thought…I thought you loved Lucy." Natsu smiled sadly.

"I know…I do it's just," Natsu looked as if he was trying to explain something different. "I love her in a way that one simply can't do without. But you see Gray; our relationship runs deeper than that. What we did last night, I don't think I can imagine doing such things with Lucy."

"Are you sure you feel that way, Natsu?" Gray asked hopefully. He never would have imagined that Natsu would love him the way Gray did.

"Yeah, but what am I gonna tell Lucy. I'd break her heart. Either that or she'd break mine. Physically." Both of them shivered at the thought.


"Natsu, there you are!" Lucy greeted the dragon slayer with a hug as him and Gray walked in. "It's a bit late, I was wondering where you were." She leaned up to kiss him but Natsu awkwardly chuckled and pushed her away gently.

"I kind of wanted to talk to you about something." Natsu rubbed the back of his head uncomfortably.

"What is it?" Lucy tilted her head questioningly.

"I don't think we should…be in a relationship…yet." Natsu set a terrible poker face and crossed his arms over his chest. "I mean, I'm just the kind of guy who needs his own space you know. Hehe."

"Ah-huh…" Lucy was looking incredulous, smirking knowingly. "So your saying that you don't want to be with me right now. What's the real reason you don't want to be with me?" she looked him over suspiciously.

Natsu gave into her feminine whiles. "Gray! Abort, abort! She knows too much!" he flailed his limbs around in defeat. Gray face-palmed. Idiot.


"Yatta! We did it Juvia!" Lucy high fived the water mage.

"Wait, I don't understand. Shouldn't you be sad?" Natsu questioned in complete confusion. Gray was also confused. He pictured this to be more of a dramatic scene.

"This plan worked sooner than Juvia has expected." Juvia rejoiced.

"Hold on. Shouldn't you be disappointed that Gray's with someone else?" Gajeel asked skeptically. Juvia cupped her cheeks like a fan girl.

"Juvia does not mind that Gray-sama has a homo-sexual relationship on the side." She claimed.

"I can't believe you guys planned all of this! I feel a little betrayed here!" Natsu yelled, spewing fire everywhere.

"Oh come on Natsu." Lucy pinched his cheeks mischievously. "At least you got something out of it." She said in a highly suggestive manner. Both opposite mages blushed in embarrassment.

Minus the constant playful teasing, the guild had another party that day. Many of the guild member got drunk again, despite of how early the morning was still. (Cana, quote on quote: Didn't give a damn.) Everyone else couldn't be happier.
