I Take Pride In What I Am

Through all the hard times, I'm on your side (GrayxNatsu)

Prompt: "Through all the hard times, I'm on your side"
Pairing: Gray x Natsu

We've known each other for so long now I can barely remember what I was like before we met. I know I was colder, content to live in isolation as I put up walls to protect myself from the pain I was convinced awaited me. I thought it was the only way to be after everything I'd been through.

But from the moment we met, you showed me there was another way. That you could smile through your tears, and find joy anywhere as long as you were willing to take the time to look. You taught me that a life devoid of hope was empty.

And even though I fought against you for so long, I finally came to realize that it was when I fought beside you that I felt the most alive. So through all the hard times, I will always be on your side.

Because a life without your love is no life at all.
