~from 'i will burn for the things i love'
"Stop," Gray begged, gagging on the scent of scorched flesh. It hurt more than anything he'd felt before – a sharp, searing pain that ripped through his arms and down his bare chest, tearing away pieces of him and leaving nothing behind but blackened skin. "Stop, Natsu, please. It's me. C'mon, look at me."
Natsu's arms shook beneath Gray's hands, and Gray could see a flicker of recognition in the dark of Natsu's eyes.
"There you go," Gray gasped through the smoke. "C'mon, love. Come back to me."
Slowly, Gray let go of one of Natsu's wrists and brought his hand up to Natsu's face. His blistered fingers trailed over the dragon scales as he cupped Natsu's cheek, then leaned in and pressed their foreheads together.
If Gray was going to die, he would happily burn for Natsu.
"I love you," Gray said, then pulled Natsu closer and kissed him.
