Chapter 35

"What do you mean you can't walk?"

"I mean I can't stand on my feet without falling!" He tried pushing himself off the ground, but fell back down, hurting his arm in the process. He slammed his fist on the ground multiple times, gaining carpet burns from his skin rubbing on the carpet. He put his head on the floor, making sure no one can see his teary eyes, "I just want to be alone right now." He sniffed.

Juvia waved the group off, indicating them to leave. Cana closed the door behind her, "Alright guys, who's up for a little mission?" She rubbed her hands together.

Juvia kneeled back down to his side. She hovered her hand over his back, debating whether to touch him or not, "Gray." She whispered his name.

All you could hear was his sobbing. All you could see was him laying his head down, so he could hide. So no one could see his tears.

"I don't know how you feel right now, but I'm imagining that you're in a lot of pain. I understand that. But I need you to understand that we're here to help you."

"Help me with what exactly? Are you just going to be my pity party? Feel sorry for me? Because I don't want that."

"No." She scooted next to him, placing her hand on his bare back, "you feel like you're alone right?"

"What?"

"You feel alone, like no one in this world can understand how you feel right now."

"I just want this pain to go away." He said, his voice cracking with every word he said, "I don't want to have this feeling anymore. Everytime I look down at this scar it reminds me of what they can do. What they can away from me." She stayed silent, waiting for him to speak again, "my worst fear is losing you guys, losing you."

"I'm right here Gray." She cupped his face gently in her hands, "I'm not going anywhere." His tears flooded onto her hands, making Juvia want to cry with him. She's never seen him like this. His eyes were filled with pain, anger, sadness, and fear, "I want you to understand that I'm never going to leave you again. We are never going to leave your side again." She brought him into a hug, embracing him.

He gladly returned it, holding her close, not wanting her to let go, "thank you." He sobbed.

"No, thank you Gray." She wiped his tears, "now let's go get some breakfast. I'll carry you if I have too." She chuckled.

"I guess you can try." He laughed.

"There's that smile I love to see." Juvia said, smiling. They both headed out the room with Juvia supporting Gray.

"Cana I don't think this is a good idea." Erza said, staring down at Cana's plan.

"I think it's fine." Gajeel said, agreeing with her plan.

"Really Gajeel?" Levy raised her brow, "how in the hell is Gray supposed to fit in a stroller?"

"He's not that big, I think he can manage." Natsu said, smirking.

Erza slapped his head, "you're enjoying this way too much."

"Shh they're here!" Jellal said, running back to the crew.

They all watched as Juvia supported Gray into the living room, "suprise!" They all yelled, pointing at the stroller.

"What's with the stroller?" Gray asked.

"It's for you Gray." Luna smiled ear to ear, happy of her accomplishment.

"Do you have any kids I need to know about?" Juvia asked.

"Not that I know of." Gray said, earning a slap from Juvia.

"It's for you to sit in." Natsu said, trying to stifle in his laugh.

"That thing is way to small for me."

"Well it's all you got." Cana said, "we couldn't find a wheelchair so yeah."

"Even if I wanted too, I can't. People will look at me weird."

"Please Gray." Luna said, "we all want you to come eat breakfast with us." She gave him her best puppy eyes.

He sighed. He couldn't say no to her, "Juvia... put me in the stroller."

"Yay!" Luna clapped.

Juvia carefully put Gray into the stroller, making Natsu burst out into laughter, "you're so lucky I can't walk right now!" Gray yelled. He adjusted himself into his seat, "this isn't half bad." He sat back, "this feels really nice."

"Yep and guess who's going to be pushing you." Lucy smiled.

"Who?"

Everyone moved out of the way revealing the guy at the end of the rainbow, "what!?" They both yelled.

"When did we decide this?" Natsu said.

"Just now." Erza smirked.

"Well I don't want too." Natsu pouted.

"Come on Natsu." Lucy said, touching his shoulder, "He's your friend."

Natsu mumbled something under his breath before turning back to her, "fine, I'll do it."

"Thank you." Lucy mouthed to him.

"To the waffles!" Cana yelled.

"To the waffles!" Everyone cheered.
