A Fairy Tail Gratsu.

Natsu's POV:

I'm dreaming. I know I am, because I can't use magic and I can't move. But even when I know I'm dreaming, it's still scary. I'm in a dark room, there's no windows, just a door with metal bars, like a prison cell. There's a person sat outside, but I can only hear him, my other senses aren't working right. But then, this is a dream. The man is tailking, but I only catch bits of what he's saying.

"Stupid brat........ hurts....... burn you........ ice....... high price....... wizard....." okay, this dream is starting to creep me out now. It's familiar, in a creepy way, but I've never had a dream like this before, I know I haven't. It's not even that bad, so why is being in this dream-prison so terrifying?

     It fades away, and darkness surrounds me. I can feel warm arms around me, and it feels like I'm flying. Why the hell is this familiar? I hear a voice again, this time one I know, but it makes no sense. 'Don't die on me' why am I remembering Gray's words now? Something hurts, and I feel like I'm falling. It's not like me to dream like this....

      "Natsu...."

    "Natsu?"

     "NATSU, WAKE UP!"

     "Geez, way to ... heh...heh.... to go Happy. No wonder he's... he's alway grumpy..... if... if that's how he gets.... gets up.... every morning...." Wait. Am I still dreaming? I could've sworn I just heard Gray. My eyes snap open, and I glance up. I must have fallen asleep on Gray's chest. Wait... I swear he was clothed when I fell asleep. Gray's blue eyes glared at me, but I could see the softness in them too.

"How long.... are you.... going to.... lay there.... ya Pyro?" Woah, he sounds like he's losing his voice! I sit up quickly, but it makes me all dizzy. I shake my head to clear it a bit, then I punch happy. I don't punch him hard, I know I'd hurt him if I punched him like I punch popsicle and Elfman, so it was more like a bop on the nose.

     "How're you feeling? You scared me..." I murmur to the stripper, reaching to his face to brush a strand of stray hair out of his eyes. His droopy eyes flicker with an emotion I haven't seen in him since we found Deliora back on galuna island. He's..... scared? Why's Gray scared? It's not... me. Is it?

     "Natsu.... don't... please.....Don't leave me.... me alone..." a tear slips down his cheek and I wipe it away. Why? Why did he have to get hurt? He's not weak, I know the stripper is tough, so what the hell happened to him to break him like this? He better not think that I didn't notice him flinching when I brushed his tear away. What did those men really do to him?

Hey cubs. It's author-chan here, I'm terribly sorry about the slow updates. I'm struggling with this story right now, but I will update it eventually. I know where I want to go with the story, it's just fleshing out the details and making the characters act normally.
