Spooning (Rated T)
Natsu was bored. So bored, that he'd made a paperclip necklace, played hacky sack with crumpled up pieces of paper, and had learned how to juggle pens within an hour's time. He was pleasantly surprised that he hadn't annoyed Gray to the point of no return, but since they were in his apartment, the dragon slayer figured that his boyfriend was too 'in the zone' to really care what he did.
Which brought him back to the number one issue at hand: boredom.
There was only so much he could do to amuse himself. And it wasn't like Gray's apartment was full of neat little toys to keep him occupied with. He wondered if the ice mage was as bored as he was right now. There was only one way to find out.
"Aren't you done yet?" Natsu asked, his voice on the verge of an irritating whine.
Gray cringed at the tone. He might as well finish up and keep the dragon slayer entertained. But this damage report from their last mission wasn't going to write itself. However, if he worked any more, Gray might find Natsu in his lap rather than in the chair across from him. Putting down his pen, he turned to face the dragon slayer.
"Done," he stated.
"Yes!" Natsu cried, jumping from his seat.
Crossing his arms, Gray resisted the urge to smile at how excited that had made him. "Did you want to do something?"
The dragon slayer's joy suddenly came to a halt when asked this question. His one and only goal had been to get his boyfriend to stop working on that damn report. He didn't think about what to do afterward.
"Um…"
Gray shook his head. "All that whining and you don't even know what you want to do?"
Natsu started to fidget. He had to think of something fast; otherwise, Gray might go back to working on that report for Master Makarov again. And he just couldn't take the boredom anymore!
"Wanna spoon?" Natsu blurted.
A strange look made its way onto Gray's face. "Spoon?" he echoed.
The dragon slayer nodded vigorously.
"What do I need a spoon for?" the ice mage finally asked, unsure as to why his boyfriend would ask him such a thing out of the blue.
Suddenly, Natsu burst into a fit of laughter.
"What's so funny?" Gray demanded, glaring icily at the dragon slayer.
"You don't know what spooning is?" he chuckled hysterically.
Spooning? He hadn't even heard the damn term until now. What the hell was it? "So what if I don't!"
"Oh, this is too much," Natsu said, his laughter subsiding. Taking Gray's hand, he gradually led him to the bedroom. "I can't wait to show you."
"I think I like spooning," Gray mumbled into Natsu's neck as he got himself as close to his boyfriend as possible.
"I told you so," the dragon slayer replied with a triumphant smile.
The ice mage never would have thought that spooning was actually a cuddling position. And not being one for cuddling, this was a bit different. It was more like…a kind of hugging, but both people faced the same direction and lay on their sides. It was intimate. He could get used to this.
