Annoyance

Gray and Natsu

"How are you feeling?" Gray's voice cut through the fog crowding in Natsu's head. The dragon slayer opened his eyes slowly, trying to ignore the brightness from the light above them.

"Okay I guess." He said, feeling a bit dizzy as he attempted to sit up.

"Easy." Gray warned, placing a cold hand on his shoulder. "Do you want a sip of water?"

"Yeah." Natsu replied, looking down at the iv in his arm.

Gray grabbed a plastic cup off of the bedside table and held it to Natsu's lips. The pink haired boy took a small drink, wetting his mouth. Gray pulled it back and offered him a small smile. "Everything went well, if you were wondering." Gray said, setting the cup back down. The idiot had jumped off the roof of the guild hall to prove he could land on his feet. He would have made it too, if it weren't for the fact that he landed on a piece of busted concrete. The resulting injury had required surgery to place some pins in his ankle, something neither of them were too happy about.

"Where's Happy?" Natsu asked, looking around the room for his exceed companion.

"He went to get something for us to eat. He'll probably fly through the door with a couple fish sandwiches soon."

"Good, I'm starving." Natsu said, absentmindedly placing his hand on his stomach.

"I don't think you're allowed to eat yet, flame brain." Gray pointed out, eyeing the water cup. "They told me to let you have small sips of water until they cleared you."

"This sucks. I had surgery on my ankle, not my stomach and I haven't eaten all day!" He complained, crossing his arms with a childish pout on his face.

"Then maybe you shouldn't be so damn reckless Natsu. Mavis, you could have been injured a lot worse than just a broken ankle." Gray snapped, annoyance getting the better of him.

"You're still mad at me." Natsu frowned, his eyes dropping to the blanket covering his body.

"Of course I'm still mad at you. We're Fairy Tail wizards, I can take you getting hurt, but I can't take you getting hurt for no reason. I know you think you're invincible, but you're not." Gray groaned, running his hands back through his hair.

"I didn't mean to break my ankle."Natsu pointed out, wincing at the pain in his leg as he shifted.

"But you meant to jump off the roof! Why would you even do that?"

"You were there. You know exactly why I did it." Natsu said, making eye contact with the raven haired mage.

"That's not what I mean." Gray sighed. "I just wish you would be more careful, okay? It hurts me to see you hurting."

"You do care." Natsu said, the corners of his mouth curling up to form a small smile.

"Of course I care, idiot. You're my boyfriend."

"Yeah, but you've been acting really cold and annoyed since the accident yesterday."

"Because you're a reckless idiot. It doesn't mean I don't care about you. Quite the opposite actually." Gray said, exasperated. He grabbed the water cup off of the table and pressed the straw against Natsu's lips. He watched carefully as the dragon slayer took a long sip.

"Hey Gray," Natsu said, breaking the silence between them.

"What?"

"Thanks for being here." He said, an apologetic look playing across his face.

Gray leaned down and planted a small kiss on Natsu's forehead, all the annoyance he'd felt fading away. For a reckless idiot, he knew just how to make the ice mage melt.

"I'm sorry I got so annoyed."

"It's okay. I'll try to do less stupid stuff."

"Really?"

"I said I'll try." Natsu said, a cocky grin sneaking across his face.

"Good enough, flame brain."

"Popsicle dick."

"Get some rest Natsu." Gray said, standing up. "I'm going to go get a nurse to see if you can have something to eat."

This will be focusing on three ships, Gray x Natsu, Levy x Gajeel, and Mirajane x Erza.

Just small moments in time.
