Chapter 3

The Lion

"Loke's been here for 2 whole days already and I've barely seen him! He seems to be spending all his time with Gray." Lucy sighed looking over at the table the spirit and the ice mage were sitting at.

"Well, before we found out Loke was a spirit and returned to the Spirit Realm, the two of them were really good friends. I bet they miss spending time together, as they used to do that a lot. They went on a lot of missions together." Mirajane smiled from behind the bar.

Lucy had only been in the guild for a short while before Gray, Erza, Natsu and herself started teaming up. And at that time Loke did all he could to avoid her, so she really hadn't noticed they were such good friends.

"They did? I never knew that."

"uh-huh." Mira nodded. "Some time before you came to the guild, Loke was getting sicker and sicker, which made it hard for him to do a lot of missions. So Gray was left on his own most of the time. If that hadn't been the case, I don't think he would have joined your team so easily."

The blond mage looked over at the two guys again. "Gray never told me, even though we spend so much time together."

"You know how Gray is, he doesn't like to talk about himself."

"Yeah, you're right. Apart from when we were on Galuna Island, I don't remember him ever telling anything about himself, even back then he only told us because he didn't really have much choice. Now that I think of it, he doesn't really talk much in general." Lucy tried to gather everything she knew about Gray. All she could think of was that he was an ice-mage, the student of the great Ur and that his parents died along with the rest of his village during Deliora's attack.

"Gray's magic fits his personality well. His feelings are safely sealed away behind a layer of ice. He can be act pretty cold, like his magic. But once you take a better look, you see how beautiful his ice actually is. Same with his personality." The bartender gave Lucy a big smile.

"Aah, Mira-san, that's a beautiful explanation. I never looked at it that way." Mira was right. Gray might not really open up, he was always there for her. Lucy took a closer look at the ice mage. He was listening to something Loke was saying, a big smile on his face. When Loke finished he started laughing.

"I guess Loke broke through that layer of ice." Lucy smiled.

"Hey, Lucy-chan." Loke walked over to the blonde mage.

"Loke! Sit down" Lucy said while she tapped the bar stool next to her. "How are you?"

"Great, although it's still hot as hell. I actually came here to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"Are you planning on going on a mission anytime soon?" Loke asked. The blond mage raised an eyebrow in question.

"I'm not sure. I just went on a big mission, so I don't really need the money at the moment. But if any good missions are posted, I might take one on. Why?"

"Oh, it's just that… If it's okay with you, I'd like to go on a mission with Gray. But since it will probably take a few days, I need to be sure you won't need me." Loke looked hopeful at his owner.

Remembering what Mira had told her earlier about the two mages teaming up together, she felt a bit responsible for the fact they didn't really get the chance to do that anymore. "Oh don't mind me, Loke! Of course you can do the mission. Chances of a good mission being posted the next few days are small and it's too hot anyway. I don't really feel like doing anything." She smiled at her spirit, who smiled in return.

"Thanks, Lu-chan." He gave the girl a big hug and kiss on her cheek.

"But…" she continued.

"But?" Loke asked carefully The blonde girl smiled teasingly.

"In return, Gray will have to provide me with ice and cool me down for the rest of this damn heat wave." she stated.

Suddenly the girl shrieked. A chuckle came from behind her back. Gray stood behind her and had placed his cold hands on her bare skin.

"Gray! You almost froze my hips off!" She screamed while rubbing the icy cold spots.

"I thought you needed to cool down?" He smirked. She gave Gray a dirty look, behind her she could hear Mira and Loke laugh. After a few seconds she started to laugh too.

Loke and Gray started to walk towards the mission board. When he was sure nobody was looking, Loke leaned to Gray's ear and whispered: "You can grab my hips like that any time you want."

After picking a nice mission for them to do, the two mages had gone back to Loke's place to discuss the details. After they planned everything, Loke sat down next to Gray, who was just in the process of removing his shirt. He didn't seem to notice it himself as it fell to the ground.

"So… Do you want to sleep over tonight?" Loke asked the raven mage a bit shy.

"Better not. I should go home, pack my things and get some sleep for the mission." Gray said while getting up from the couch. Loke couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Aww, come on. Don't start pouting. What are you, a 6 year old?" Gray asked with a snicker.

"I'd really hoped you'd stay. You're quite the tease, you know?"

"What do you mean?" Gray asked while raising his eyebrow.

"First you fuck me to seventh heaven, yesterday you pulled me into an alley and gave me one of the most passionate make-out sessions ever and well… today you walked around the guild with barely anything on. Not that the last is a real surprise." Loke said accusingly, crossing his arms. "I'd certainly call that a tease."

Gray smiled and leaned forward, placing a small kiss on Loke's lips. "I gotta go."

Before the ice mage could straighten his back, Loke pulled him back down by his necklace. He placed a fierce kiss on the cold lips. Gray gasped in surprise and the orange haired spirit gladly took advantage and slipped his tongue inside. He pulled the raven mage back on the couch. Meanwhile Gray had eagerly started to kiss Loke back.

A few minutes later Gray tried to break the kiss. "I… Really… need to go." He said, continuously interrupted by Loke's kisses. As soon as he had said that, Loke got up and sat on Gray's lap, straddling him.

"You're not going anywhere." Loke started the attack on the ice mage's mouth again.

"Fuck. Why do you have to taste so delicious?" Gray said while hungrily kissing Loke back. He no longer wanted to go home.

He slowly ran his hands over Loke's back. When he reached the hem of his shirt, he slipped his hands under it, earning a small moan from the spirit. He moved his hands to Loke's abdomen, where he could feel his perfectly trained abs. He slowly caressed every part of them and slowly moved his hands up. In the meantime Loke was gently sucking and licking Gray's neck and shoulders, before biting down on his collarbone.

"Oww! What was that for?" Gray asked.

"Well, I am the Lion Spirit. And I can't help but taking a bite when I see a piece of nice looking flesh." Loke said with a seductive voice. He then licked the spot he just bit.

"I'll sure get you back for that, little cat." Gray said while stroking Loke's nipples.

"Nhhn… Nyaa." Loke purred playfully while rubbing his cheek against Gray's.

Gray wanted to feel Loke's bare skin against his. He pulled his hands from under the shirt and started fiddling on the buttons, while Loke was still kissing his neck and running his fingers over Gray's chest. This made it hard for Gray to focus on the little buttons.

"Oh, fuck it!" He yelled while he just pulled on both sides of Loke's shirt, buttons flying everywhere. He carelessly threw the shirt away and grabbed Loke's face with both hands. Now it was his turn to place a fierce kiss on the other's lips, slowly running his tongue over Loke's bottom lip, begging for entrance again. Of course this was eagerly granted by the Lion spirit. Gray ran his hands over Loke's hips, which were slowly grinding against his. He could feel Loke's erection press against him.

"Let's go to the bedroom." Loke begged through the kisses. He had barely said it or Gray grabbed his hips and lifted him up, walking towards the bedroom. When they got there, Gray threw Loke on the bed and pinned his arms down.

"Damn… I really let myself be seduced by you." He said while looking into the hazel eyes of the spirit. Loke just smiled triumphantly.

"That's what I do best. I always get my way."

Gray started kissing the spirit's cheek again, down to his neck, slowly sucking, licking and placing tiny love bites all the way. He sucked a bit harder when he reached the bottom of Loke's neck, leaving a small red spot. Loke enjoyed every second of it, quietly panting while he grabbed the raven hair.

"Nhn, Gray… Morrrrre!" Loke purred when Gray gently bit his nipple.

"I'll give you much more, Lion." Gray said. Loke shivered at the feeling of the ice mage's cold breath on his skin.

Gray continued his way down with his kisses and bites. One hand still playing with Loke's nipple, the other unbuttoning Loke's pants. When he almost reached Loke's crotch, he brought his both hands to the hem of the orange haired man's pants. He then looked up.

"Now… should I go any further?" he asked Loke teasingly, while he rubbed his cheek against the soft skin of the other's stomach.

"Stop teasing already!" Loke moaned, bucking his hips up, eager for more contact. "Please, Gray, morrrrrre!" Loke pulled Gray's hair a bit.

"Hmm… only because you look so damn sexy when you're horny."

With that, Gray pulled Loke's pants and boxers down. Gray slowly licked the top of the erection. In response, Loke bucked his hips again, wanting to feel more of Gray's mouth. The ice mage opened his mouth and started moving.

"Grrray! S- So good!" Loke growled. Still holding Gray's hair, he firmly held the ice mage in place, while he bucked his hips a little, going deeper into the mouth. Gray could already taste the precum on his tongue.

"You're driving me crazy, mister Fullbuster."

"I'm going to make you go even crazier, mister Lion." He raised himself to Loke's level and gave him a long passionate kiss. He then brought his fingers to the mage's mouth.

"Suck." He ordered. Loke gladly obeyed and coated the cold fingers with saliva. When they were well lubricated, Gray returned to the throbbing erection, taking it into his mouth again. Meanwhile he pushed Loke's legs further apart and slowly inserted a finger.

"Ah!" Loke yelled when he felt the finger enter him, still being a bit sensitive from their last night together. Gray soon inserted another finger, while still sucking. He could feel his own erection growing harder every second, desperately needing contact.

A third finger entered, which made Loke go crazy. Even though it hurt a bit, the pleasure was way bigger. Gray continued stretching the tight hole, making it ready for what was to come. When he hit a certain bundle of nerves inside of Loke, the spirit let out the most beautiful, ecstatic moan he ever heard.

"A- Again, please, do that again!" Loke begged while curling his toes in pleasure. Gray obeyed and kept on stroking the small spot. After a few more thrusts, he felt Loke's grip tighten, pulling his hair lightly. Gray kind of loved that feeling.

"I'm going to… cum!" Loke warned. Gray just entangled the fingers of his free hand with Loke's free hand, making clear the spirit could go ahead.

A few seconds later Loke reached his limit and came. The ice mage could feel the thick substance flow into his mouth. While still enjoying the afterglow, Loke pulled back, while Gray tried to swallow everything away. A small amount of it ran down his chin. Loke pulled Gray to his level again and licked it away before placing his mouth on the other's lips.

"That… was probably one of the best blowjobs I ever got." Loke sighed happily.

"Glad to hear that." Gray gave him another passionate kiss.

Loke could feel Gray's still hard member rub against him, still captured in his pants. He broke the kiss and looked down.

"I guess we need to do something about that." He smirked.

The only answer he got was Gray turning him over so he was on his hands and knees.
