Natsu's POV:

I must be seeing things, right? There's no way Gray is smiling... Why is he? Is he sick? He must not be feeling well...

I glanced up at Gray again, almost scared of what I would see. Sure enough, in the middle of his face his lips were twisted into a carefree smile. "Gray, are you alright?" I asked making his expression change into one that was a bit more confused, "You look... happy."

Gray's face went red and he pouted again, "I-I do not," he lied. I gave him a look that said; "Dude, I know you're lying, it's obvious as fucking day light.", and he just sighed, "Okay; I did. I was just thinking that it's sort of fun to just hang out like this... I-it's not a big deal..."

"I just thought I'd point it out since you've been such a prick this whole trip," I grinned as I purposely attempted to tick him off, "I mean, you're usually like that, but ever since our, uh, kerfuffle, you've been even worse. Haha, how do I know you're not the one who's in love with me." I laughed by myself for a few seconds before I realized that Gray had gone silent... really silent.
