Natsu opened his eyes.........

"Are you alright Natsu...?" Gray asked

Natsu smiled as his eyes where back to normal

"Yeah I'm alright oh and sting...." Natsu looked up at sting who then looked down

"Yeah" sting asked

"Thanks for helping me...." Natsu smiled

"No problem.." Sting then Smiled his usual grin with a tear rolling down his cheek

Rouge and wendy sighed in relief that Natsu was safe as they all looked around the room to make sure everything was alright

"Sting what the hell happened?" Gray asked a little anger in his voice

"Zeref.....Zeref is what happened" sting looked down at natsu who was still laying in stings arms

"What does he want with natsu?" Rouge spoke

"He didn't say" sting replied

"Guys lets first try and figure out what happened then what zeref wants" wendy interrupted

"Yeah wendy is right sting what happened?" Rouge asked

"Well..." Sting then began to say what happened leaving out bits and peaces of the story

"........THE HELL!" Gray shouted

Sting jumped a bit as gray grabbed him by the collar

"Oi gray!" Natsu seemed surprised

"Why didn't you help natsu faster why didn't you break the sphere Natsu was in pain!" Gray spat at sting who was getting angrier with each word

"SHUT UP I TRIED TO HELP IM WEAK I GET IT BUT AT LEAST I TRIED DAMN IT!" Sting yelled at gray tears starting to forum in his eyes

Gray looked down shadows covering his eyes

"If I where there the barrier would have broken faster and natsu would not have had to suffer longer..." Gray clenched his fist tight

"That's a lie...." Sting replied to grays words as a sudden punch to the jaw sent sting to the ground

"oi!" Rouge started to walk over to gray but wendy stopped him

"Don't....they need to figure this out on there own.." Wendy said sadly

Gray looked at sting with anger then sting got up

"Don't hit me cause I'm telling the truth!" Sting spoke

Gray then kicked sting sending him into the wall as sting coughed a bit of blood

"OI! ENOUGH!" Rouge shouted as gray started walking over to sting

"I'm not gonna fight...." Sting spoke as gray walked closer

What surprised them both was natsu who walked in front of sting and slapped gray

"That's enough!" Natsu spoke anger could be heard in his tone

"Wait a minute..." Rouge then looked a gray and shot a sharp shadow at grays neck

"Rouge!" Wendy looked surprise

The shadow skimmed the back of grays neck as they say the shadow had hit something

Rouge walked over and picked it up

"It's some of zeref's dark magic...he must have put this on gray so this happened....." Rouge spoke

Gray then felt the back of his neck

"What the hell?" Gray seemed confused as he then felt his cheek hurt

"Ow why does my cheek hurt?" Gray rubbed his cheek

Rouge then explained brief what happened

"That explains it...." Wendy spoke with a yawn

"Damn what time is it?" Rouge looked at the clock

"3:00 in the morning....." Rouge sighed

Everyone headed to bed wendy went with rouge,gray stayed in the living room as sting went with natsu

As they laid in bed the two stayed silent

"Sting....." Natsu spoke

"Yeah?" Sting replied

"Sorry I'm the reason this all is happening....." Natsu spoke

"It's not your fault...." Sting turned to face natsu

Natsu looked down with a guilty look

Sting then pulled natsu closer and kissed his forehead

"Natsu....don't beat yourself up I love you so I'll do anything to protect you.." Sting smiled

Natsu was blushing now he felt like he would explode

the two both yawned as sting looked at the roof with a blush of realization but his thoughts where interrupted by a snore which made him look down to see a sleeping dragonslayer

Sting just rolled his eyes with a laugh and dozed off

Hours later a loud crash could be heard which made sting and natsu jolt awake as they walked out to see what was wrong they headed towards the kitchen

When they entered the saw wendy standing on a stool and plates shattered on the ground

Rouge then walked in and sighed as wendy started to apologize and rouge scratched the back of his head as a sweat drop appeared and sting and natsu just laughed which earned them a glare from rouge then the two just giggled as they left the kitchen

"Hey where did the ice stripper go?" Rouge asked wendy as they started to pick up the shattered plates

"He went to go stay with juvia to cool his head" wendy replied

"Good" rouge replied a little annoyed

"Sorry again for braking the plates" wendy said a little teary eyed

"It's ok wendy" rouge sighed with a smile

"Let's start dinner?" Wendy spoke

"Yeah" rouge replied as the two finished then started on dinner

As that happened Natsu and sting smiled and sat on the couch

"Oi sting..." Natsu asked

"Yeah?" Sting replied

"We should do something together tomorrow" natsu said blushing

"Yeah that would be fun" sting smiled his usual huge child grin

"What should we do?" Natsu asked

"Umm well....."
