Gray Pov:

My heart stopped as the last words escaped Erza's mouth and Lucy cried. I didn't know what to do...he...he was gone...he was gone...Natsu...was gone...I felt my heart drop, and I felt everything in my world start to spin. Why...why did this have to happen? I could feel the pain in my chest gather more, and I couldn't take it. I let out a cry, not even the feeling of Lyon's arms helped me out here. I...it hurt me...why did he have to leave me?

"Why are you all crying?"

My eyes shot up to the window on the second floor. I saw something there, someone standing. Black/red armor platted the person's skin, hiding his face. On it was a dragon in a deep purple color, and the sword in hand had the head of a dragon where you would hold it. The shield was carved with a tale on it, one where you could not begin to descried what it was about. This person seemed to be standing there like he was placed; it was something where everyone was staring in awe. The person slowly jumped down, landing on the ground. He took a step.

Clank.

Clank.

Clank.

Clank.

His footsteps echoed around the guild as everyone locked eyes onto this person. Erza kept a grip on Lucy whom was still crying, but at the same time she watched this person walk closer. She narrowed her eyes feeling no good vibes from this person. I however stood up, feeling something familiar from this person. My heart was beating quickly as he stopped finally, not to far away from me. Lyon was standing now as well, content on keeping me safe from this person but…he couldn't. I felt myself slowly move closer. Erza had her sword drawn, but I felt no need to worry about it. I swallowed, stopping in front of this person.

He was still himself, weapon and shield to the side of him. I took a deep breath and put my hands on either side of his face mask and slowly started to lift it up. My heart seemed to stop as the mask came up fully. I swallowed though and took a breath. I couldn't stop myself as I leaned in and kissed this person.

The whole guild gasped, and I heard the clank of Erza's sword as it fell from her hand, and Lyon falling back in shock. I didn't care, this felt so right, and I soon felt the person kiss back. When I finally pulled away I put my hands on his face. He was flustered, blushing, and I found that rather cute. After all he should be used to me touching him this way…shouldn't he?

"I'm happy…you're not a ghost are ya?" I asked, smiling lightly. He gave me a look before hugging me tightly, murmuring something I did not catch but I heard the part I needed to hear. I hugged him back, holding him. After a moment or so I chuckled softly. "Ah. You're armor is poking me." He pulled away quickly but I pulled him back. "That didn't mean I wanted you to let go idiot." I muttered, and he laughed this time. He snuggled into me, making me slightly wince, but I could deal with this...

I looked back at Lyon, sighing. "Sorry Lyon, but I'm afraid it's over..." I turned to face the one in my arms. "...I love you..."

"I love you to...forever and always right?"

Tick...

Tock...

Ding...

Ding...

Ding...

Ding...

"Yeah, forever and always, Natsu."
