Well hello! Nice to see all your lovely faces looking at this screen, so you right there, yes you, I love you. You are beautiful and amazing okay? Okay.

Sorry it took so long guys, I've been super swamped with homework (Pre-Cal sucks ass!) and I've been so stressed out lately that I actually got sick, how dumb of me right? Anyways, I'm all cuddled up under a bajillion(yes that's a measurement (shut up it is)) blankets because even though it's about 80 degrees outside I'm somehow STILL COLD. And since I'm stuck in bed, I thought that I might as well get some writing done!

Oh and for you pervs, there's a little bit of Me-Time for Gray in here. Yeah I'm making this story earn it's M rating a little early(okay really fudging early since it's only the second chapter *nervous laugh*), but are you guys really complaining? ;)

Disclaimer: I don't own FairyTail, if I did Nalu would be freaking CANNON by now and Nali would crash and burn! I love Nalu, anyone who disagrees, well I bite my thumb at you sir! They are so in love with each other it's stupid that they don't realize it okay!? Okay! ( jk jk jk I'm not that mean to the Nali shippers. You can ship whoever you want, I just think that my ship is the best. I will respect your ships if you respect mine)

Enjoy~

Previously on Warm My Heart

"Are all fire mages as stubborn as that flame-brain Natsu?" He grumbled quietly, feeling bad that she was going to sleep on the lumpy couch.

"Possibly! I'm pretty sure I'm more stubborn than him though!" Serafina called from the living room. Gray chuckled.

"Well, goodnight I guess." He said at normal volume, just to see if she could hear him.

"Goodnight. Thank you again!" So she could. He chuckled again and then stripped down to his underwear before climbing into his bed to go to sleep.

Now…

The next morning Gray woke up earlier than he had in a while, and groaned as he rubbed his eyes. He sat up, got out of bed slowly while stretching out his limbs and then headed for the bathroom. After relieving himself he left his bedroom and headed to the kitchen, but paused when movement from his couch caught his eye. Moving into an Ice-Make stance he froze when he saw hair the color of sakura. He relaxed as he remembered that he'd let the new girl, Serafina, stay the night at his place. He walked over closer to see if she'd actually lost control of her magic, but froze when he walked around the couch. He gulped as his eyes zeroed in on the section of skin exposed. The shirt he'd let her borrow had ridden up to just under her chest on her left side and the blanket she was curled up with, was down around her waist on that side.

And high up on her ribs underneath her breast was the navy blue crest of Fairy Tail. Watching it rise and fall slowly with each breath he was mesmerized briefly by the expanse of flawless white skin, the color of snow. He gulped again and quickly walked away from her. He decided to get dressed more fully than just his underwear as he wasn't the only person in the apartment anymore, then he headed to the kitchen when he had fresh clothes on. Seconds after he reached the kitchen he heard a soft groan and the shifting of sheets. Suddenly there was a gasp and a pink head appeared over the back of the couch. Serafina looked around and found Gray in the kitchen area, looking at her with a raised brow.

"You okay?" He asked. She blinked a couple times, and slowly the fog of slumber cleared from her mind, reminding her of the events of the previous night.

"Yeah…. Sorry, forgot for a minute where I was." She muttered rubbing the blurriness of sleep from her vision. She stood up and stretched her arms over her head. The sleeves of her borrowed t-shirt fell down, exposing her shoulders and a bit of her side. Gray was surprised to see that the bandages continued underneath her arm and down her side. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom." She mumbled before heading into his room. He frowned, watching her go and wondering what was under those bandages. He shook his head and decided not to dwell on it; she didn't bring it up so he wasn't going to ask. Instead he put on an apron and began making some breakfast.

Serafina came out a little bit later and he decided to strike up a conversation.

"Hey, so how did you sleep?" The raven haired ice mage asked. She hummed and stretched her arms over her head again, popping her joints this time.

"Real good. You keep the place cold at night but it beats the heck out of an alley that's for darn sure." She muttered. He chuckled.

"Well you can crash here until you can save up for a house, and from now on, no arguing about who gets the bed or the couch, you'll take the bed." He told her. She pouted but decided not to argue. For the moment. "Anyways, I'm making breakfast and tea, do you want some?"

"Sure, that sounds great and it smells delicious." She smiled.

"How do you like your tea?" He asked.

"However you like it is fine." She shrugged.

"You're sure?"

"Yes, I don't mind." She said, glancing around.

"Alright. You can look around if you like." He offered. They'd come in so late the night before that they had argued about sleeping arrangements and then just gone to bed without much of a tour other than the route to the bathroom. She whipped her head around to look at him quickly.

"Oh, no, I'm sorry." She said quickly.

"For?"

"Staring…. I've just… Never been in a place like this before…." She mumbled.

"An apartment?"

"A home." She corrected. Suddenly Gray looked sad and she seemed confused for a second. "Did I say the wrong thing?" She asked.

"You've never been in a home before? Didn't you have parents or a guardian or someone to look after you?"

"Well….. I had…. I guess you could call her a guardian, she was like a mom in a way." She frowned and rubbed her bandaged arm. "But we never lived in a house or apartment or anything."

"Where did you live, a hut or a cabin?" He asked.

"Uh, no….. It was a cave." She shrugged.

"A cave?" Gray looked appalled.

"Yeah. Now you see why it wasn't so 'homey' or anything." She continued to rub her hand up and down her wrapped arm and it drew Gray's attention there. He desperately wanted to ask what had happened to her but he knew that was beyond rude. Her arm was suddenly drawn behind her back and he looked back up to find her looking at him with a slightly self-conscious expression. He chastised himself for staring so long.

"Uh—anyways, tea!" He said quickly, turning back to the stove.

"Gray?" The girl called softly.

"Yes?"

"You're missing your shirt." She said bluntly. He cursed, found it on the chair at the kitchen table, and hastily put it back on.

"Sorry, it's a-"

"Habit, I know." She giggled.

"Right. Well, even though you seem to know about me, I don't know a thing about you. So, care to share a little bit about yourself Serafina?"

"Just Sera, please. And…. It depends on what you'd like to know." She shrugged as she sat and watched him pour the tea into two cups once the water was finished heating. It wasn't even steaming.

"Whatever you're willing to tell me." He smiled as he handed her one. She held the cup in her hands and hummed, thinking of some information to tell him as he sat down, both waiting for the tea to finish steeping.

"Hmm…. What can I tell you that's not totally embarrassing?" She mumbled, biting her lip softly as she thought. "Well…. I'm Serafina Lee, though I prefer to be called Sera, I started practicing fire magic around the age of four, I like any shade of blue, and…. My birthday is on the twenty first of June." She shrugged and set her now steaming cup down on the table. She took some of the pancakes he'd made and put them on a plate with some butter and syrup. She cut into them and began eating in a very lady like manner for someone apparently raised in a cave.

"Really?" He asked in surprise. She nodded. "The first official day of summer huh? That's about four months away now isn't it?" He speculated.

"Yup." She smiled.

"How old will you be turning?" He asked casually as he sipped his tea to see if it was ready to drink yet.

"Eighteen." She smiled. He inhaled his drink, spluttered and coughed. Sera shot up from her seat and went around the table to pat his back and help him. "Goodness, are you okay? Please be okay, I have no clue how to do CPR." She tried to joke. He chuckled and it turned into more coughing as he tried to calm down.

"S-sorry to worry you just swallowed tea the wrong way." He said gruffly. Jesus, eighteen! She's a freaking minor!? He felt disgusted with himself.

"Does my age bother you?" Sera frowned.

"What?" He asked in confusion.

"My age, me being seventeen, does it bother you?"

"W-why would it bother me?"

"I don't know, you're the one who inhaled your tea when I told you how old I was turning, you tell me." She was sharp; he had to give her that. He shook his head quickly.

"No, it's not that," it was partly that. He was very attracted to her, and to find out she was under age was a serious blow. It made him feel sort of like a predator or something, "it was just surprising is all. You seem very mature for your age." He said instead. She blushed and the light pink matched the color of her hair, making her chocolate colored eyes stand out more.

"So then it doesn't bother you?" She asked hopefully. This was a very dangerous question, and Gray had no clue what she meant by it.

"Why should it?"

"I don't know, but guys have freaked out about it before, and I never really understood it, something about predators or pedophiles or whatever, I didn't really get it as they ran for the hills, but it's kind of limited my friends in the past. I get really annoyed with people my age, the girls are so high strung and the boys only want to get into your pants and all this drama," he had no idea she could actually talk so much, it was kind of amusing and adorable, "and that's why I like hanging out with people who are a little bit older, but not too old otherwise you get into father slash grandpa territory, but it's not like you're like that, you more of a cool slightly older brother." She smiled sweetly, and Gray deflated slightly at being referred to as an older brother. But it was much safer than the alternatives he guessed. Boy was he going to be wrong…

O~O~O~O

Once breakfast was finished, Sera went into the bathroom to change her clothes and she tossed the clothes he'd let her borrow into the hamper. Then she folded the blanket she'd used to sleep on the couch with, putting that into a neat pile with the pillow and setting it on one end of the couch. She'd decided that she couldn't just stay there when she couldn't exactly offer anything to help out.

"Well, thank you for letting me stay." She said, bowing gratefully to him. Gray simply nodded, frowning. "I need to get going, Mira and Kinana are probably getting swarmed right now, I've never slept in so late." She said, shaking her head at herself. "Anyways, thanks, again. Seeya at the guild." She waved and then left the apartment. Gray raced out after her.

"Hey wait!" He called when he saw her going for the stairs. She paused and turned back to him with her hand on the banister.

"Yeah?"

"Listen….. I'm gonna be on a mission with Lucy, Natsu, and Erza. And my place is gonna be empty for as long as I'm gone. Would you mind…. Apartment sitting?" He nearly winced at how lame his excuse was. Sera frowned.

"What's apartment sitting?"

"Well, you stay here and take care of my apartment. Water the plants and stuff." He shrugged. She rose an eyebrow.

"You don't have plants." She muttered.

"Well I was planning on getting one, then Lucy wanted to go on a mission, so I thought I'd have to wait until I got back but if you'd be here to take care of it, then I could get one." He shrugged. Sera was biting her lip to stop a smile now.

"You sound like you're talking about a pet not a plant. A plant could survive a week without someone there." She shrugged.

"No, because it needs sunlight and someone needs to water it." Gray said quickly. She shook her head.

"You don't even know me, Gray, and you want to leave me alone in your apartment for a week? What if I steal everything you own, sell it, and then skip town?"

"I have a lot of money saved up, I can replace it, and you wouldn't do that anyway." He shrugged.

"How do you know?"

"Because you didn't steal anything last night. And you're too nice." He stated. She scoffed and shook her head. "I wouldn't just offer this to anyone, Sera. I trust you." He murmured. Her cheeks turned a faint pink color and she looked away for a second.

"O-okay…. I guess, I could." She shrugged drawing random patterns on the banister with her finger.

"Great." He smiled. "You can come back tonight then?" He asked. She frowned.

"You're leaving tonight?" She asked in confusion.

"No, I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Then why do I need to come back tonight if you're gonna be here?" She asked. He shrugged.

"You have somewhere to stay the night?" He asked, and then realized how harsh that was when she frowned and looked away.

"No. But, Gray I-"

"Then come back tonight." He said. She sighed.

"Fine. Thanks." She mumbled. He nodded.

"No problem. We're guild mates now." He shrugged. "Practically family." She smiled at that.

"Yeah, I guess. Onii-chan." She said jokingly. Gray chuckled and shook his head at her. "Anyways, I gotta go, need to get to work. Seeya at the guild." She turned, but stopped and then turned back. She looked at Gray for a second and he stared at her. Within the time it took him to blink she was crashing into him, her arms around his waist and her face buried in his chest, and she was so warm. Not swelteringly hot like the heat Natsu emitted, just warm, like what Gray imagined it felt like for someone to curl up next to a small fire on a cold winter night. His arms went around that warmth, for once not hating heat but wanting more of it. His face pressed lightly into her hair and the smell of cinnamon and roses assaulted his senses in the best way. "Thanks again Gray." She mumbled before pulling away. The ice mage was reluctant to let that warmth go, but nodded to her when she looked up at him. Wordlessly she went back to the staircase and this time actually walked down. Gray sighed and went back to his apartment to clean up the things from breakfast. He also cleaned up the apartment more, and did some chores he'd been meaning to catch up on. Once that was done he made sure he had all his clothes on before heading out.

O~O~O~O

The guild was in utter chaos when the raven haired man walked in late that afternoon. People were being thrown all over the place in a famous guild rumble, and Gray narrowly avoided being hit by an airborne Elfman.

"Yo, fire-breath! Watch where you throw people!" Gray snapped out of habit.

"Screw you ice-boy," the rose haired man sneered, "you don't tell me what to do!"

"Shut up flame-brain!" Gray snapped, he hated that damn name! He cursed that damned Sugarboy for ever calling him that.

"Make me snowball!" Natsu taunted. Gray got into his fighting stance and Natsu prepared a flaming fist.

"Ice-Make: Cannon!" He held the large cannon and shot it right at Natsu's face. Instead of dodging the hit Natsu grabbed the first person and used them as a shield, and that person just so happened to be Sera.

She screamed right before she was hit with the blast of snow and ice.

"Sera!" Gray exclaimed, throwing the cannon to the ground.

"Holy hell that's cold!" She shouted as she squirmed mid-air. "Put me down before I melt your face off, who the hell uses a girl as a human shield, what's wrong with you!? Do you really have flames for brains or is there just no sense of morality in you? I was raised in a cave and I have better manners than using a girl as a human shield!" She scolded Natsu. He looked startled, sheepish, and scared all at once as he put her back on her feet. She looked down at her clothes and pouted. "Great now my clothes are soaked." She winced and hissed in pain as the water soaked into her bandages. "Ow, ow, ow." She hissed and grabbed at the wet cloth.

"Here, come with me, I'll get you out of those wet clothes. Mira, do you have any of Tessa's clothes that Serafina can borrow?" Kaia asked quickly before she turned and gave her husband a frosty look. "And Natsu will be happy to apologize and dry your clothes for you." She said. Natsu nodded quickly, smiling brightly.

"Sorry about that I just grabbed the first person by me, which happened to be you." He shrugged.

"Yeah, yeah. Next time look before you grab okay?" She huffed, and then winced as the cold stung her side. Kaia took her and led her back into the bathroom after grabbing the clothes from Mira.

"Okay strip down." Kaia demanded.

"Wh-what?" Sera sweat dropped.

"You heard me. Strip. Take off those wet clothes." The bluenette sighed when the girl didn't do as she said. "C'mon Serafina-"

"Just Sera, please."

"Fine. Sera. We haven't got all day. Mira needs your help." Sera fidgeted.

"Okay, fine. But you have to leave." She muttered.

"Why?"

"Just leave okay? Please?"

"Honey, it's not like I don't have the same-"

"Get out!" She snapped, and Kaia flinched back at the flash of red in her eyes. Sera turned away and covered her face with her hands. "Sorry. But please, just leave. I'm sure I know by now how to dress myself." She mumbled.

"Alright, I'll leave you to it." She nodded. Sera didn't respond so the bluenette left. When she was gone Sera sighed and took off the wet clothes. She also took of a the wet bandages since they were hurting more than helping now. In just her underwear, she picked up the rather large sweater Kaia had left for her. "Hey by the way, I forgot to ask if you wanted me to-" Kaia broke off as she entered the bathroom and took in Sera's marred body. The pinkette was holding the sweater to cover her chest but her side and arm were completely exposed. "get you…. Bandages… My god, Sera, what-"

"Get out!" She screamed, rushing forward and shoving her out of the door before slamming it in her face. She cursed and dressed quickly in the outfit after drying off her wounds, and then left the bathroom after grabbing her wet clothes and disposing of the bandages. Kaia was waiting right outside the door in the hall.

"Sera, what-"

"Don't say anything. If you tell anyone I'll deny it and leave." She hissed.

"Wait, I can help!" Kaia said when the pinkette began walking away. She grabbed her arm but Sera quickly knocked her hands away.

"You can't help. No one can help. I'm fine, I've had them for longer than you can imagine. They don't change, they don't heal, they don't get worse. Just. Drop. It." She warned.

"But Sera, I can heal you-"

"No you can't. Others have tried and it didn't end well. Just leave it be." With that, she left and plastered on a smile as she walked out and greeted Gray and Lucy.

"Oh, Sera, you look so cute in that sweater! The gray really brings out your hair!" Lucy complimented.

"Really? Thanks." Sera sounded completely cheerful and she smiled wide enough to rival Natsu's happy grin.

"Sera, could I get some help?" Kinana asked as she tried to take orders.

"Coming!" Sera called and then waved to Gray and Lucy before rushing off to help work.

"Hey, Sera, wait!" Gray called. She turned and he held up her green scarf. Casually, he looped it over her head and then stepped back. "There." He smiled. Sera blushed, and put a hand over her mouth to hide her shy smile.

"Thanks, Gray." He nodded and then she turned and got to work, helping Kinana take orders and bring drinks and food. Gray watched her work, and he realized something different about her. With a slight color to his cheeks, he realized that somehow she now had boobs. He wondered if her shirt before had just been so tight that it was pressing them down or something. Either way he decided to ask Lucy and Kaia if they had any old clothes that they could lend to Sera until she could get some of her own. They offered to just take her shopping instead and the ice mage saw no reason that they shouldn't, so he offered to pay for the stuff. With a budget that Kaia and Lucy worked out, Gray gave them the money and Lucy called Sera over to demand that she go on a last minute shopping trip with the blonde and bluenette. Sera put up some protest but after assurance that Mira and Kinana could handle the morning rush she agreed.

O~O~O~O

Gray waited at the guild until closing for Sera, and then they walked back to his apartment together.

"So, how was your day?" He asked for the sake of conversation. Sera shrugged and looked up at him, smiling slightly.

"It was alright. Aside from a shot of ice right to the face, my day was pretty okay." She joked.

"Yeah….. Sorry about that." He muttered. "Natsu can be a real idiot sometimes." He chuckled when she laughed.

"I saw that today." She nodded in agreement. "He doesn't always think before he acts, does he?" She smiled.

"No, not really. Sometimes I wonder if he has a brain at all." Gray snorted. She giggled and shook her head.

"Goodness, you guys are just like brothers." She teased.

"Oh god no. I'd shoot myself if I was related to that flame-brain." He scoffed. Sera smiled but slowly it faded from her face, replaced with a small frown.

"Do you not like fire mages?"

"Well…. My normal response would have been 'only ones with pink hair' but I can't exactly say that anymore. So….. Only if they're Natsu." Gray said jokingly. Sera smiled up at him. "So what about you?"

"Me?"

"Yeah. Do you not like ice mages?"

"I like them well enough if they're nice. Why do you ask?" She wondered.

"Well, I noticed you weren't exactly getting along with Kaia today." He shrugged. "I asked her about it and….." he frowned.

"And what?" Sera sounded tense, and she wouldn't look at him. She stared straight ahead and for a moment Gray thought about what Kaia had told him.

"She'd kill me for mentioning this, but I want you to look out for her. She's got some really bad wounds, Gray. Just make sure that if anything happens you come get me. She wouldn't let me help and she told me not to tell anyone, but I'm concerned. They looked really inflamed, like a really bad angry red. They weren't bleeding but they're open wounds. I'm concerned for her. I don't want them getting infected or anything so tell me if you notice anything." She'd demanded.

"And she wouldn't tell me anything. I just was wondering what happened." He shrugged. Sera seemed to relax a bit, and her left hand came up to hold her arm, rubbing lightly up and down it.

"I just got mad about Natsu. She was trying to defend him and I blew up at her, I'll apologize tomorrow." She mumbled. Gray nodded and they headed inside the building and up the stairs.

When they got inside Sera headed straight for the bathroom. When she came back out the sleeves to the sweater were pushed up and new bandages covered her right arm from her wrist up to where they disappeared under her shirt. Her chest was smaller again, so Gray deduced that she had bandages covering her chest too. And then he mentally slapped himself for being such a pervert and hastily looked away as he offered her some more clothes to sleep in. Sera went back to the bathroom and Gray changed into some pajama pants that he'd never worn before. He had forgone the shirt, knowing that would have been lost quite quickly anyway, and made up the bed for Sera to sleep in.

"Do you always make up your bed before going to sleep?" He gentle voice still startled him and he whirled around in surprise.

"Huh? Oh, uh. No. I don't really care, but I didn't know if wrinkly sheets would bother you." He shrugged. Sera frowned, seeming confused. "You're taking the bed tonight, Sera. I insist." She shook her head quickly.

"No. No way. I'm not kicking you out of your bed. You're already doing way too much for me." She huffed.

"I'm hardly doing anything." He scoffed.

"Really? You're letting me stay here until I can earn enough money for my own house, and you're paying for my clothes-"

"What do you mean?" He feigned innocence, wondering how she knew. She snorted at his attempt.

"I've got sharp ears, Gray. I heard and saw you talking to Lucy and Kaia. The shopping trip is for me. And you're paying for it. You're doing way too much for me when I can't pay you back-"

"That's not true. You're going to be apartment sitting for me. And you're going to be taking care of my plants-"

"That you still don't have by the way." She pointed out.

"Well, yeah, I forgot to do it today, hey you can do that while you're out tomorrow. Here, I'll give you some money and if you see any plants you like then-"

"No! Enough. Just cut the crap Gray. Why are you doing this?" She huffed.

"I just…. I don't want you on the streets. I know you have magic, but someone could still easily overpower you. I don't want anything bad to happen to you. I want to protect you." He shrugged. And then he realized how that sounded when he saw her blushing. "B-because you're part of the guild, and like a little sister to me!" He added hastily. She shook her head at him.

"Way too much. There's no way I'll ever be able to repay you." She muttered.

"I don't need you to repay me. That's not what this is about. I just want to help you." He sighed, realizing from her strange expression that she'd never had this kind of courtesy before. "Anyways, it's late, and I'm getting tired. Just take the damn bed and don't argue."

"I will argue! I'm not making you sleep on the couch!" She huffed.

"The couch is lumpy, I don't want my guest sleeping on something uncomfortable like that."

"And I'd feel horrible and be unable to sleep if you got stuck with it!" She huffed. "I'm used to brick walls, that couch felt awesome compared to that so really it's no big deal-"

"You're taking that bed and that's final."

"Half." Sera said suddenly. Gray blinked, and blinked again.

"What?

"Half. I'll take half of the bed. You take the other half." She shrugged.

"What, no!"

"Yeah!"

"No way!"

"Why not?"

"Because that's inappropriate!" He exclaimed. She scoffed.

"Oh please. There's nothing inappropriate about it. We'll both be fully clothed, it's not like we're together or anything, I mean you said I was like a little sister. Family members share beds all the time right? Plus, the bed is huge, I doubt we'll even have to share the same blanket bubble." She muttered. Gray frowned and watched her walk over to one side. She got under the covers and leaned across the bed to pat the vacant half, urging him wordlessly to come over and get in. Grumbling mentally to himself about how bad of an idea this was, he walked over and got under the covers. "See? Perfectly fine. Good night Gray." She smiled before laying down facing away from him.

"Night." He sighed and laid on his back, staring up at the ceiling.

O~O~O~O

When morning came, Gray found himself surrounded by warmth. Something heavy was weighing down his chest and something hot was draped across his stomach and over one of his legs. He groaned as sleep faded from his mind slowly, taking with it a very good dream that he wished he'd been able to finish, even though he couldn't remember exactly who it was the plot of the dream was still pretty clear. A petite pale body writhing under him—or was it over him? Hard to tell with all the rolling that was happening between silk sheets—and then he remembered the pink hair and wide brown eyes. He also remembered that someone with those exact features was sleeping in bed next to him. His eyes flashed open and his vision was filled with pink. Sera was curled up, practically on top of him, and when she shifted slightly to be closer he felt her warm skin against his side. He froze as he felt her leg moving against his in her sleep.

When the hell had he lost his pajama pants? He remembered having them on when he went to sleep! Worse than that, he realized that either the shorts he'd let her borrow had ridden up considerably, or they weren't there at all, because her legs were bare. He looked down. No sheets over their legs, only a corner of it draped over her behind, covering it and her panties from view. Definitely no bunched up shorts. What the hell? Where on Earthland had their pants gone!?

"So… Cold." She hummed and nuzzled her face closer. "No, don't…. Play leapfrog with….. Not with the unicorn….." The fuck? Gray tried to stop himself from laughing by tensing his stomach muscles and biting his lips together. "Wait, the banana's gonna…. No don't sing Mr. Banana….." She grumbled. Her nose wrinkled up as she frowned and then moments later her expression smoothed out. "Not the pink wire….. Binkies will stop you…" What the hell was this girl dreaming about, Gray wondered as he tried desperately not to laugh. The urge left him when she moved again and her thigh brushed up against his groin. Now he was struggling not to groan.

And that was when his dream decided to come back to him. A small, pale body with excellent curves, pink hair splayed out over pillows, brown eyes hazy and half lidded, pouty lips calling his name.

"Gray…." She exhaled warmly against his collar. He sucked in a breath and decided that he had to get out of that bed before he did something he would surely regret. Like wake her up and see if his dream got her curves right, or the expressions she made when he—

He pulled her arm from around him quickly and swallowed hard as he grabbed her thigh and pulled her leg from over his. When he was detangled he slipped out of the bed and Sera rolled into his spot.

"Gray…." She whimpered. That sound sent a shot of arousal through him and he high tailed it to the bathroom to take care of some business quickly. He tried to solve his issue with a cold shower but those never really did work because he was so used to the chill of ice and snow.

"God dammit." He growled before turning the dial to a warmer setting. Grabbing his shower gel he resolved to making it quick. He let what he could remember from his dream flood his mind and filled in the blanks with what he wanted. Lathering up his hand he grabbed his arousal with a slight hiss and began to pump. His fingers, warmed by the water, felt so good sliding over his sensitive skin. His spread his legs to either side of the tub in order to brace himself and rested his free arm against the tiled wall, with his head resting against his forearm. "Shit…" He hissed out as images floated around in his head.

Sera was completely naked before him, and her small smile was just as enticing as all the bared skin she offered. "Gray, come here….." Her voice lilted as she rose a hand as if to reach for him. He didn't hesitate to follow the order she'd given. He crawled up onto the bed and hovered over her. Reaching up she kissed him and pulled him down until he was pressed against her. The warmth of her body heating him up as he simultaneously cooled her down. Her hand trailed from his shoulder, down his chest, to his cock. He groaned lowly and thrust into the hand, needing more. "Like this?" She murmured, gripping a little tighter and moving faster.

"Yeah….. Damn, just like that….." He moaned.

"Gray… I want you so much, please…." She purred into his ear. He nodded and her hand fell away as he positioned himself and thrust into her. She cried out at the sudden fullness and he moaned at how tight it was. Not wasting a single second, he began to thrust into her quickly, and listened to her moans and cries of pleasure.

"So tight….. Nngh…. God…. So good….." He moaned as his hand picked up speed.

"Gray! I'm so close!"

"Me too….. That's it….. Come for me…." He panted. Her hedonistic cry echoed around the room as her body arced up, her head thrown back against the pillows, her mouth open forming his name.

"Fuck….. Ungh, Sera…." He groaned loudly as the coil that had been tightening in his stomach released. He rode his orgasm, stroking lazily as he came down from the high, panting and a little weak kneed. He leaned heavily against the tiles as he calmed down and after a minute or two he stood up straight and angled the showerhead to wash away the aftermath of his perverted fantasy. He washed himself off as well, trying to scrub away the guilt of imagining her when she was innocently asleep in the next room. Why did she have to be so young? Why couldn't she have been at least a year older? He shook his head at himself and turned off the water.

He was drying off when he heard it.

"No! Stop!"

Grabbing his underwear and yanking them on he rushed out into the bedroom, thinking that maybe someone had somehow gotten into his apartment. But he didn't find anything except for Sera. She was twisting and turning on the bed, flipping back and forth and shaking her head, her brows furrowed in a deep frown.

"No!" She cried as her hands grabbed at the sheets. Smoke began rising from her right fist and Gray rushed forward hoping to wake her before she actually set anything on fire.

"Sera!" He called, reaching out for her. He yanked his hands away the second they touched her skin, his fingertips immediately turning an angry red color wherever his skin had touched her burning hot flesh. "Shit, Sera, wake up!" He called. The task of waking her just got much more difficult since he couldn't shake her awake. She tossed onto her side with another and then she rolled back onto her back with a scream. At this rate, if he didn't wake her up soon his neighbors might think he was murdering someone or something. Forget burning sheets, he didn't want police at his door when he was in his underwear and she was just in his shirt. That would be a nightmare to explain. "Sera, wake up!" He snapped tugging the sheets from her grip. Clearly she wasn't going to wake up just to his voice. With a few muttered curses, he iced his hands and grabbed the arm closest to him, which happened to be her right arm. She screamed and shot straight up in bed the second the ice touched her, and bat his cold hands away before gripping at her arm in pain.

"What-What the hell!?" She snapped, cringing as the ice that had melted on contact with her hot skin seeped into the bandages. "Ow, ow, ow, fuck!" She got a fire in her left palm and burned the bandages off quickly as she turned away from him and got out of the bed. "Dammit! Did you have to put fucking ice on me, shit that hurts!" She hissed, scraping off the burned up cloth that still clung to her skin.

Gray didn't answer. He was too busy gawking at her arm. "Sera….. What the hell happened to you?" He asked, staring at the gashes that were torn raggedly into her skin. She stiffened, looked down at her arm and then back to him as her mouth opened and closed, trying to come up with something quickly.

"I-….. I have to use the bathroom." She said before practically sprinting out of the room and slamming the door behind her.
