Okay, so a few things:
1) Natsu is being controlled or possessed. By who? Zeref. I wanted to get that out of the way before you read this, so it makes sense.
2) This is still a Gratsu! Nothings changing.
3) If it shows that it's Zeref's POV he's in Natsu's body.

-------------------------------------------------

Gray was sitting on the couch when Natsu walked in, he instantly looked up and saw Natsu staring ahead. He was looking at nothing, and looked as if he not even there. Like his mind wasn't there, or something else was missing.
"Uh, Natsu?"
Silence.
"You okay there?"
Silence again.
Well, Gray thought, something to him just.....doesn't feel right.
"Are you upset?"
"Yes."
Gray was taken aback by the sudden voice, it was monotone.
"Why are you upset?"
Natsu looked into Gray's eyes and didn't even show a emotion, his face still unclear.
"You don't love me."
"What? Of course I do! Why the hell do you think that!?"
"Because," Natsu started "I don't love you."
Then silence, Gray went through many emotions at once: anger, hurt, and shock.
"W-what?" Gray spoke after what felt like a lifetime of silence.
"Now leave me alone." Natsu left Gray's eyes and went to his room in the house both Gray and him shared. Gray didn't say anything, just stood there as tears prickled down his face. He didn't know what to do. The person he loves doesn't love him. He debated for a minute, and decided to go outside. He couldn't be in the same house as Natsu. Walking out he felt a calming wind surround him, chilling his face. He saw a familiar figure walk towards him.
"G-Gray-sama! What's wrong?"
"Hey Juvia, how are you? And nothings wrong. Why do you ask?"
"Juvia's amazing! Thanks for asking! And because Gray-sama looks distressed and Gray-sama has been crying!"
"Y-yeah, but I'm fine, promise."
Juvia frowned
"Juvia doesn't believe Gray-sama! Tell Juvia now!"
Gray looked to the floor, his vision blurred as tears threatened his eyes.
"N-Natsu doesn't love me.."
Juvia widened her eyes at the hurt Gray as she heard he's sobs.
"Why does Gray-sama say that?"
"He told me! He didn't even look hurt! He j-just told me in a monotone voice and straight face. He doesn't l-love me."
Juvia frowned at what he said, she couldn't believe that Natsu would do that. She knew they both loved each other, and he knew how badly Gray needed love, as well as himself. She didn't think Natsu would be so cruel to just bash his feelings like that. Juvia given Gray a hug, soothing him gently. Gray hugged her back, loving the comfort.

Zeref walked out of the house, grinning when he saw Gray was gone. He could feel Natsu's sadness when he said those words to Gray, and if he wasn't dead, he might've felt bad. Zeref saw Gray hugging Juvia, then smiled. Zeref wants to see more of that sadness, which he knew Natsu probably felt that. He'll make sure to feel more of that sadness until he's satisfied, or bored.
