Hello! Itās me againš
Thank you very much for answering me last time! Iām in love with that work.
So⦠Can I ask for some kind of continuation of a story? Where Gray and Ethernano Dragon Slayer go to a difficult mission together and one of them get injured badly. Only after that they decide to confess.
Iām sorry for bothering you with this storyš
hello! iām so glad you asked because while writing my psychology exam (inspiration strikes me at the worst times) i came up with an idea for this lol also demon slayer gray is FINE AS HELL
i think this kind of really sucks š but i feel like iāve procrastinated because of college entrance exams so i hope itās minorly up to par with what you wanted and sorry for making you wait!
Unrequited (Part 2) - Gray Fullbuster
Fairy Tails Ethernano Dragon Slayer turned around at the sound of her name being called.
āYeah, whatās up?ā The Slayer blinked. This was the first time the Water Mage had ever acknowledged, let alone even interacted with her.
āI was wondering if youād like to go on a job with Gray-sama and I? You donāt look like you have anything better to do, if Iām gonna be blunt and the job requires three peopleā Juvia shrugged.
Juvia could be slightly naĆÆvely straight-to-the-point and mildly mean at times but she was right. Lillian didnāt really have anything better to do. The rest of team Natsu were out helping Sting and Rogue sort out some mundane guild controversy and the rest of the guild was busy doingā¦whatever they did throughout the day.
Which is why Lillian found herself third wheeling Gray and Juvia on said job.
Though, it could be noted that something was different. Juvia wasnāt as stuck on to Gray as she usually was. In fact, the both of them felt sort of distant somehow.
Like all Dragon Slayers, Lillian had one special heightened sense. Her specific sense was that she could easily sense the emotions, and in a way, the aura between two or more people. And her sense told her something was definitely off today.
While they were walking towards the borders of Magnolia, Juvia slowed her pace so that Lillian and her were walking together and Gray was a few paces ahead.
āLillian, can we talk?ā
āHm?ā Lillian raised a brow. Two interactions in one day? This was news.
āI thinkā¦Iāve come to terms with the fact that Gray and I arenāt meant to be togetherā
This simple statement nearly made Lillian trip over her own two feet.
Juvia stared wistfully at the boy walking in front of her and sighed.
āI see the way he looks at you, and how you look at him. You two clearly have something between youā
āJuvia, thatās not-ā
Juvia held up a hand and smiled at Lillian.
āIām not bothered. Seriously. I think part of growing up is learning acceptance and accepting that Gray doesnāt and will never reciprocate my feelings, and will never feel for me the way he feels for you. It stings, to be honest but accepting it will only be better for me in the end, I think. Iām fine, though.ā
Lillian gulped as the blue haired mageās words sunk in. She hung her head, deep in thought. Did Gray really care for her in that way? Had everyone just been feeding the whole Gray-Juvia agenda down her throat when Gray liked Lillian all along?
She didnāt have much time to think deeper into the topic as a huge snake rose from the ground in front of them and the three mages got into battle stance.
āāāāāāāāāā”āāāāāāāāāā
*timeskip because i suck at writing fight scenes: this part is set in a cave*
āWhat weāre you thinking?ā
Lillian winced as she felt cold fingertips on her cheek.
Her eyes slowly opened, adjusting to the light. Her throat felt like sandpaper and she had a throbbing ache on her waist.
āOh thank god, youāre upā Gray sighed, removing his hand from her face.
āWhat-ā The Ethernano Dragon Slayer attempted to stand but winced as her legs gave way. Luckily, Gray was able to grab her before she hit the ground.
āWhat happened is that you threw yourself in front of Juvia and now youāve got cuts and bruises everywhere. Iāve sent her to go get reinforcements because the job isnāt completed yet and youāre badly injuredā The Ice Mage folded his arms over his chest āAgain, Lil, what the actual fuck were you thinking?ā
āI wasnātā¦I thinkā
Gray scoffed āNo shitā
āWhy are you so pressed about this?ā
āYeah sure, thatās why youāre YELLING at meā
āI donāt get it, why are you so concerned? You know I can handle myselfā
āBecause I care about you, idiot!ā Gray froze as the words left his lips on impulse.
āIā¦ā The Ice Mage averted his gaze from Lillian āI care about youā¦and not just as a comradeā
The Ethernano Dragon Slayer felt her cheeks heat up.
āYou donāt need to say anything, I donāt expect you toā
āI like you too, Gray. I have for a while nowā
There it was. Out in the open. The Dragon Slayer hated being vulnerable in any situation and this was no exception.
A moment of comfortable silence ensued before Lillian spoke up.
āDo you think we should go out to see whether the others have come orā¦ā
They started moving towards the cave entrance when Gray stopped Lillian.
āHeyā He lightly touched her wrist āWhen this is over, would you like to go out on a date?ā
The girl smiled and leaned up to kiss his cheek, making the normally stoic wizard blush furiously.
