This drabble just randomly came to mind around half an hour ago while I was sewing, so I just wanted to dot it down real quick. It's probably not my best work, but I kinda like it.
Anyway, thank you everyone for the reviews, favorites and follows! They really encourage me to continue writing and give me motivation, which I have been lacking lately, unfortunately.
Without further ado, enjoy!
Oh, and in this case Italics mean a word or sentence that was crossed out by Gray. For some reason when I use the strike through thing on here it doesn't appear on the actual document, soooo yeah.
Dear Ur,
My friend Lucy convinced me to start writing letters to you and my parents and talk about my day or something like that… She always writes letters to her mom and apparently that helps her and all, so she offered for me to do it too… More like wouldn't stop nagging me until I finally agreed just to shut her up…
Geez… I feel pretty damn stupid doing this; talking to you as though you would actually read this one day… But, I guess I might as well get this over with, just to get her off my back about it.
Well… A few months ago I went to Galuna island to stop this idiot and Luce from taking an S class mission. Really, what idiot takes on a challenge that they aren't even strong enough to complete?
…
On second thought, don't answer that…
Anyway, I went to stop them, but the idiot Natsu knocked me out when I wasn't paying attention! I still have to kick his ass for that… We went to the island.
Then, things got a little complicated…
I met Lyon there and he was trying to release Deliora. He was trying to melt you! The damn moron was trying to release that monster that you sacrificed your life to trap!
We ended up fighting… It was kinda like old times, back when he and I used to brawl in the northern continent… When you would always hit us over the heads and tell us to stop acting so stupid… But this time I was the one that won. Lyon was too blinded by his goals to see what he was doing was wrong, 'guess he really missed you and wanted to prove to you that he was strong.
Being there like that made me realize a lot about myself and my time with you…
I really was an ass then, wasn't I? So bent on revenge that I wouldn't even listen to reason… Looks like Lyon took a page out of my book there, huh? Well, I gotta admit you were pretty cool to put up with me. I probably would've given up on a rude brat like that.
God, I don't even know how you put up with me.
But you did. You saw the darkness in me and were determined to change it into light…. Damn, that really sounds cheesy, doesn't it? But it's the truth…
You erased all the anger and sadness I had towards Deliora. You even came after me when I didn't listen to you. I don't how I ever deserved you or what you did for me…
…
You know, I really suck at this writing thing… Not to mention that I feel even dumber writing all this shit down. I probably sound like a damn sap right now. Writing down my feelings and crap like that.
But I guess I should continue…
After you died, erm, used Iced Shell to trap the demon Deliora, I went west, just like you told me, and after a few months of traveling and adventures you wouldn't even believe, I made it to Fairy Tail.
They accepted me there with open arms, despite my dark past. They didn't even make me tell'em how an eight year old kid like me mentioned to get there in the first place. Instead they just took me in as their own and treated me like family…
…It was nice…
There I met several friends.
Erza was one of my first friends and she kinda reminds me of you in a way… You both scare the shit outta me and act like a mother or something. Not to mention you both can be annoying as hell.
But, like you, she has a kind side and will protect me from my own stupidity… She's really strong like you, and strong willed. Beautiful too, but she's more like a sister than anything else. She easily became one of my best friends… After I stopped getting into fights with her, that is…
Later, I met Lucy, you know, the girl that convinced me to write this silly thing in the first place. She's really nice too, but sort of naïve. She's really dependable and getting stronger, she even saved one of my good friend's life, but that's a long story that even I don't know too much about.
She plans on becoming a novelist one day, and from what I've managed to peek at when she wasn't looking, she's a pretty good writer. I think she'll be able to achieve her dream one day.
Then there's Natsu…
Geez, I don't even know where to start with that idiot. He's cocky, arrogant, and moronic and a pain in the ass, but then again, I guess all boyfriends are.
Yeah, that's right… He's my boyfriend… At first he was just an annoying fire mage that stood only as my rival, but after everything that happened at Galuna we got closer and… well.. Started dating two months ago…
Yeah, it was a big shock for everyone at the guild too, but I think they're over it by now…
He's helped me come to terms with my past and even vowed to pick up where you left off and free me of my lingering darkness…
I think you'd like him… For a moron, he's pretty great….
Eh… I'm not really sure where this is going anymore… It's all over the place, isn't it? Oh well I guess…
I warned you I was horrible at this writing thing, Luce must be nuts…
But I guess I kinda see the appeal… It's nice putting all this down where no one will read it..
I really wish you could somehow see this…
But, anyway, I think I'll wrap this up now…
You don't need to worry anymore, master. Even after everything that's happened, I think everything will be okay… For both me and Lyon.
You know, I even heard he joined a guild. Lamia Scale, I think it was called. He's turned over a new leaf and finally forgot the past… I think that with his friends by his side he'll get even loftier goals, just like you wanted.
We'll make it through, so you don't have to waste all your time watching over us anymore. I'm going to move forward and use my ice magic to make you proud of me. I'll make your sacrifice worth it, I promise.
Sincerely,
With regards,
Your pupil,
Sir lord of awesomeness,
Love,
Gray.
