It's been a few days since that incident, but Natsu cannot get Gray out of his head. He's all better now, but Natsu is still worried.

He headed to the guild and aimed his legs at the door, and just then, his enthusiasm faded and he put his leg on the ground again, opening the door normally.

The guild was somewhat empty, not many people were there. He could see the shock on Lucy's face as he sat beside her.

"What's wrong, Natsu?" Lucy asked, obviously worried.

"What? What made you think that?" Natsu asked, as he hasn't told anyone about his little...okay, big... predicament.

"Well, first of all, you didn't kick the door open. Second of all, you don't have that signature grin of your face." Lucy replied, still worried for her friend.

"I...I don't..." He paused, thinking aboit why he acted this way, but the Gray thing. "I guess I'm just tired?"

Lucy sighed in frustration, rolling her eyes in annoyance.

"Ya know, if you want to lie, choose a better one. You're never tired, unless it's on a moving vehicle." Lucy stated, as Natsu tried to stutter out some excuse, eventually telling her the truth.

"I can't get Gray out of my head." Natsu paused, Lucy's eyes widening before smiling. Natsu stared in confusion. "Do you know why?"

"Do you?" Lucy responded.

"..."

"... well, I think you love him."

"Wha?!" Natsu exclaimed as he blushes, the guild members staring him as the whole guild quiten down a little before everyone return to chat and the guild's volume rised back up.

"Well, yeah. Plus side, you two look cute together." Lucy smirked at the blushing Natsu, who's sinking into his scarf.

"Come on, I-I don't think I like-"

"Oo, Natsu likes someone? Who is it?" A girl with short white hair, asked.

"L-Lisanna!" Natsu wined as she chuckled, squeezing his cheeks.

"Alright," she calmed Natsu down, walking away from the two to talk to a woman, her sister, Mirajane.

"H-hey, Lucy, do you think that I..." Natsu sinked into his scarf, blushing a deep red.

"Yep! I mean look at your face!" Lucy chuckled at Natsu, as he continued to sink into his scarf.

"Hey, why is your face so red, flame-brain," Gray emerged from behind Natsu, as Natsu tensed.

"N-nothing!" Came out of his mouth as he stood up, searchings his brain for any excuse he could find.

"U-uh, are you-"

"I'm fine! Uh, I have to go back to get something, bye!"

Natsu then proceeded to quickly sprint away from Gray and Lucy, and quickly headed back home.

"Ya know what's wrong?" Gray asked Lucy in confusion as Lucy held her mouth, trying to stop herself from laughing.

"Hey, tell me, what's wrong with Natsu?" Gray sighed. Lucy shook her head in denial.

"I probably shouldn't tell you, it's a secret," she held one finger to her mouth, like someone shushing someone else, and winked. This left Gray with great annoyance.

"Maybe, I'll find it out myself then." Gray sighed as he sprinted out after Natsu.
