Gray's POV:

"I liked it!" Natsu said, his face red like a stop sign. I felt my jaw (metaphorically) drop. Did he just say... No, haha, I'm sure he didn't... he did, didn't he?

"So, do you like, like me?" I asked.

"Don't flatter yourself," Natsu retorted with a bit of sass, "I said I liked the kiss, not you. I would rather make out with a donkey than be with you."

Wow... that sorta hurt. I frowned and furrowed my brow, "W-Whatever," I stuttered, "Can we just keep walking?"

Natsu's POV:

Gray and I packed up our camp and started walking again. He wasn't talking to me, of course. I suppose he's mad at me.

"How much farther until we get to the village?" I moaned. I was so bored of this mission already.

"*sigh* I don't know... All I was told is that we'd eventually find it if we headed North," Gray mumbled -- he sounded really annoyed, "Maybe of you stopped whining and put more energy into walking we'd get there a lot faster..."

"Ugh," I threw my head back in frustration, "Why are you always so serious? It's a mission, sure, but we should still be able to have fun."

"Then go home! I don't need you!" Gray suddenly yelled, "I'll melt the fucking village myself!"

...I frowned. I'll stop talking I guess... he seems even more on edge than usual....
