Natsu's POV:

"Sorry," Gray said, "But I don't want to leave you alone." Gray's expression was unchanging -- he was totally serious.

"Ugh, why do you have to like me? You're so frustrating," I complained, trying to lift myself back up onto the bench, "Can't you be into someone else? What about Loke? He's cute... orrr... uh... Mystogan?"

Gray cocked his head slightly to one side, showing his confusion, "Mystogan lives in Edolas," be reasoned, "And Loke lives in the Celestial Spirit World."

"S-so? Can't he summon himself?"

"For Lucy I'm sure he would," Gray got up and started to help me up, "Besides, I'm not into guys like him... I'm into guys like you."

I sighed. I could feel myself getting a headache from this ridiculous conversation. Gray really was getting frustrating, more so than he usually was. Since when was he gay anyways?!

"What about Juvia?" I finally asked. When I did, I noticed Gray's whole body jerk. Almost as though that was the last thing he had ever expected me to say.

"What about her?" He shrugged, "I don't like her. The sooner she realizes it, the sooner she'll leave me alone."

"So you don't like her at all?" I delved a bit further, "She's kinda cute, you know. And smart. And a good fighter, too."

"She may be all those things, but I still don't like her," Gray was starting to get annoyed, "Now can we stop talking about it?"
