Okay, so I'm having a super hard time figuring out what to do. When I saw all of the reviews part of my brain melted. I was happy to get all of them, since this is the most feedback I've ever gotten for a story that so far has eight chapters. But then I counted all of the votes and the rest of my brain kinda just fizzled away. 7 for uke Gray and 12 for seme Gray. I just..I don't…I don't know what to do! Those are some pretty close numbers. If I make Gray on top, I disappoint a lot of people, and vice-versa. However, some people suggested to switch off (which for some reason I didn't even think of) or to make both of them seme (which I also never considered, because I'm just stupid.) SO in favor of satisfying all of you, that's what I'll attempt to do. And yeah, I say attempt. I've never written a lemon where both are seme and for some reason my brain can't really comprehend it. I'm just used to the whole seme/uke thing. But like a few of you said, that just..doesn't always work. Especially with these two. So this chapter is going to be an experiment that hopefully doesn't go wrong.

I don't even know what's going to happen yet, I'm just going to let my keyboard type whatever it wants and see if that works. It never has before, but..oh well. Here goes nothing.


Several hours later, half of the alcohol supply has been emptied and lay scattered about on the kitchen floor. Natsu and Gray are splashing around in the pond, laughing drunkenly about nothing in particular. At this point Gray has absolutely no idea what's going on. He's no lightweight like Natsu, in fact he's the one who drank most of the bottles of sake, but that was some damn good sake. The ice-mage can't remember the last time he's been this drunk. It was probably when he had a few drinks with Cana a few years ago, which ended up being a huge mistake. But he wanted to be incoherent so he wouldn't have to remember tonight. They may be messing around right now but he knew eventually it would happen. He wondered how drunk Natsu was. The guy hardly ever consumed alcohol, yet he downed at least three bottles. Gray wondered if Natsu was doing the same thing he was. Or was he just trying to keep up with Gray? That seemed like something he would do.

He watched with a dazed expression as Natsu floated around on his back, staring at the sky with that stupid grin of his. They needed to get this over with and quit fooling around. But Gray was just too drunk to even move. Could he talk? "Neh..Natsu..we need to..um..go inside." Okay, he could kind of talk. Natsu looked over at him, a confused expression on his face.

"W-why? This iss fun." Natsu slurred back, having apparently forgotten what they were supposed to do. Gray didn't care. He was content with just floating in this pond for the rest of his life. Until the water started getting warmer and warmer, and then Gray realized Natsu was using his magic for no reason.

"Oi! Knock it off, idiot, yer making the water hottt."

"Mhmm. Feels better." Natsu said, looking as if he could fall asleep at any moment. Despite being completely drunk Gray knew sleeping in water wasn't good. That usually led to drowning, and if Natsu drowned then they couldn't complete this mission. So with a groan Gray managed to swim over and drag Natsu out of the water, both of them collapsing when they touched solid ground. Moving was just too much work. Gray decided he would just look at the tree branches above him, but soon realized everything was spinning. He felt pretty lightheaded too. That made him laugh for some reason.

"Gray.." Natsu said, causing Gray to blink and look over at Natsu. The dragon slayer had unfocused eyes and pink cheeks from all the alcohol, yet Gray could tell he still had somewhat of an idea of what was going on right now. "Aren't we supposed to be doing something?"

"Er..yeah, technically." Gray replied awkwardly, not quite knowing what to do. He heard shuffling next to him and suddenly Natsu was far too close, giving him a weird look. "What..are you doing?"

"I dunno." Natsu shrugged, looking way too nonchalant. Gray suddenly wished he was more drunk. Everything was becoming less fuzzy and too real. He would remember this in the morning, and judging by the looks of it, Natsu would too. But the dragon slayer had just enough alcohol in his system to not give a damn about what he was about to do. "You said you kiss a girl and that's all it would take, right?"

"Well yeah but this is different."

"Then just imagine I'm a girl." Natsu said, and before Gray could even process what that meant his lips were being covered by Natsu's. He snapped his eyes shut immediately, trying to imagine himself anywhere but under a tree kissing Natsu. Natsu had told him to imagine he was kissing a girl, so that's what he did. He found that it wasn't that hard. The lips he felt were soft and melded with his perfectly. They tasted sweet too. It was over before he could really process it, yet somehow Gray knew Natsu wasn't done. The dragon slayer seemed more determined to get this over with than Gray. So when the ice-mage felt himself being dragged inside, he knew what was about to happen.

"N-Natsu..what are you..?" Gray said, still having trouble forming a sentence. The room was blurry and he was seeing two Natsu's, and they were both giving him a weird look.

"Getting this shit over with already." He replied, removing his shirt yet leaving his scarf. Gray swallowed thickly, feeling his heartbeat speed up. This is happening. It's real, and it's happening. Shit, I don't know what to do!

"B-but I..we're drunk." Gray said, as if it was some kind of unknown fact. He mentally slapped himself. Of course we're drunk, that was the plan stupid!

"It's what you always do, right? Just stay still and let me do this." Natsu said, grabbing his pants to pull them down but instead pausing. Reality chose that moment to slap him in the face. He was about to have drunk sex with Gray and possibly ruin their friendship. He knew it wasn't an option, yet at the same time he couldn't bring himself to do it. The look Gray was giving him certainly didn't help. "What?"

"I'm not bottoming." Gray said, his previous thoughts vanishing only to be replaced by anger and a familiar sense of competitiveness. Like hell I'm going to lay here and take it like some bitch!

"Well I'm not either!" Natsu said, feeling a fight coming on.

"I have more experience than you, idiot! You have no idea what you're doing! There's no way I'm letting you top!"

"Well I can't bottom! I need the experience anyways, and you have enough of it, so therefore I get to top! How else am I supposed to learn?"

"This isn't supposed to be a learning experience! We're doing this to seal a demon!"

"It is a learning experience, smart ass! We have to learn to love each other before we can seal it!"

"Well that doesn't mean I can't top. You're gonna bottom whether you like it or not!" Gray yelled, punching Natsu in the face. The pinkette fell to the bed as Gray pinned him down, grabbing a fistful of his hair.

"In your dreams, ice bastard!" Natsu yelled, switching their positions so he was on top. "I'll top, and I'll do it better than you ever could!"

"Oho, that's big talk coming from a virgin! You must be really drunk if you think you're better than me at anything!"

"I'll prove it then!" Natsu replied, and before Gray could process what that meant, Natsu was suddenly kissing him again. Gray had no idea how this turned into a competition, but dammit he would win!

"You call that a kiss? You suck!" Gray said, flipping positions again and kissing Natsu, nipping at his bottom lip. They went on like this for some time until the kisses turned into something more, and before either knew it they were both naked and aroused.

"See? I win, so I top." Gray said, smirking arrogantly down at Natsu who was blushing from so much intimacy. He never knew this side of Gray, and having the very obviously turned on boy on top of him made Natsu feel weird inside. Plus Gray was right, though he would never admit it out loud. He was a virgin and really wasn't sure what to do. Being kissed and touched like this was..in a weird way, thrilling. But he still didn't want to be on the receiving end of this.

"No way! Why can't neither of us bottom." He said with a pout, ignoring the voice in the back of his head that said he liked this.

"Because idiot, that wouldn't work. It's not sex unless one of us takes it up the ass."

"Shut up! Let's just get this over with! But if you hurt me I swear I'll burn your dick off!" Natsu said, blush intensifying as he realized what was about to happen.

"It's going to hurt no matter what, but I'll try to make it as painless as possible. Now shut up and let me do this." Gray said, closing his eyes as he mentally prepared himself. Just imagine he's a girl. This isn't Natsu, it's some really hot girl. I can do this.

Natsu was about to ask why Gray was taking so long when suddenly the ice-mage was kissing him, this time more tenderly. Natsu didn't know Gray could kiss like this. He felt a tongue swipe across his bottom lip and hesitantly let Gray explore his mouth, feeling oddly warm inside. Gray's hand began running up and down his arm, giving him goose bumps, and then that same hand began teasing his still hard length. He noticed the way Gray's eyebrows furrowed together for a moment, and then the kiss became more intense and Natsu found himself being stroked at a somewhat fast pace. He had touched himself before, but it never felt like this.

While Natsu was actually enjoying himself, Gray was having a hard time focusing. He tried to picture a girl, but Natsu made it difficult. His arm was too strong, he kissed like a guy, and girls didn't have something hard between their legs. But he forced himself to continue, because he had to. Breaking free from the kiss, he put three fingers against Natsu's slightly parted lips, sighing when Natsu gave him a confused look.

"Suck. I have to prepare you." He said, breath catching in his throat as Natsu began sucking on his fingers. His mouth was warm and moist, and for a second it turned Gray on. But he quickly shook that thought away. He just needed to focus on getting this over with. When it seemed like his fingers were slick enough he moved down between Natsu's legs, finding his entrance and slowly inserting a finger. Natsu made a small sound of discomfort, not sure if he liked this new feeling. It was more uncomfortable than anything. Once Natsu seemed okay with one finger, he added another. This time Natsu felt pain.

"Ow! That hurts you damn stripper!"

"Just relax and it won't." Gray said, surprised at the gentleness in his voice. It contradicted everything he felt inside. He started moving his fingers again, searching for a certain spot. While he had no experience with other men, he grew up with Fairy Tail mages, and heard plenty of stories. It was impossible for him not to know what to do. So when he finally brushed against a bundle of nerves and Natsu moaned, he knew he found it. The dragon slayer looked mortified at the sound that just came out of him, and yet he wanted more of that feeling.

"What was that?" He asked somewhat breathlessly, back arching off the bed when Gray hit it again.

"Your prostate. Guess it really does feel good." Gray replied, inserting another finger and hitting that spot over and over again until Natsu looked ready to lose it. "Are you ready?"

"Y-yeah..just do it already.." Natsu said, heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe this was about to happen. He watched as Gray positioned himself, his erection a few mere inches away from his entrance. Gray's face was close to Natsu's, enough so the dragon slayer could see every emotion flicker through those stormy blue eyes. They were still foggy from the alcohol, yet Natsu saw the hesitation. Gray didn't want to do this, and it's not like Natsu did either, so then why was he handling it better than Gray? Did some deep, dark part of him actually want to do this with Gray? No, that wasn't possible. Natsu liked Lucy, didn't he?

Focus, he berated himself, not wanting to think about anything else. This was a mission. They would do this for the sake of humanity, as weird as that sounded, and then everything would be okay. All they needed to do was fall in love, and they chose to start with sex. So then..why weren't they having sex yet? Natsu looked up at Gray with a confused expression, wondering what the hold up was. The ice-mage was biting his lip anxiously and looked frustrated.

"What's wrong?" Natsu asked, not realizing how much of a loaded question that was. There was a lot wrong. Gray's mind was a mess, as if a tornado had made its way through a thousand times. He was about to have sex with a man, Natsu for that matter. It could potentially ruin whatever relationship they had. But Gray was also thinking about the long term effects of this mission. He knew they absolutely had to fall in love, though he still wasn't completely sure why. Gray didn't want to fall in love, he couldn't. The mere idea made his heart seize in his chest. He was terrified of love and everything that came with it. Would Natsu die if Gray loved him, like everyone else?

"N-nothing, just give me a second." Gray said, remembering that he was supposed to answer Natsu. The pinkette looked up at him with concern, seeing the fear in his eyes. He could hear the frantic heartbeat and erratic breathing. Natsu knew how Gray felt right now since he had all of Gray's memories, and knew he needed to fix it. Despite this odd situation they were in, Gray was still nakama, and Natsu refused to let a nakama struggle like this.

"Let me help." Natsu said, and before Gray could process what that meant, he was being pushed down onto the mattress. It took him a minute to realize what was happening, but when Natsu suddenly kissed him, it all clicked. His previous anger returned.

"Oi, I told you I wouldn't bottom." He said, watching somewhat nervously as Natsu began kissing his neck.

"You're scared, idiot, I get it. This is hard. So let me help you." Natsu said, remaining surprisingly serious. Gray wasn't used to seeing this side of Natsu, hell he never knew this side existed. Natsu always seemed so oblivious to everything; Gray had always assumed he didn't know anything. Had Natsu really chose to remain ignorant this entire time?

"You better not fuck up." Gray said, wondering why he was allowing this to happen. He knew he was scared, but was it really this hard to just shove those thoughts away and do his job? He had done it before. Was it because this was Natsu and not some random girl?

"Quit being bossy and let me focus. Being drunk and not having experience is kinda hard. If you're gonna talk, tell me what to do."

"Fine. Just..do what I did to you." Gray said, not wanting to elaborate any further. He never imagined he would be telling Natsu what to do to him in bed. But apparently Natsu didn't need to be told anything else. He shoved three fingers into Gray's mouth, something the teen would complain about later, while also nipping on his collar bone. That was a sensitive spot for Gray. His previously limp member began twitching back to life, and Gray decided to just let Natsu do the work. It was easier on him and his horribly fucked up mind. He told himself to relax, yet when Natsu inserted a finger he jumped.

"Relax, remember?" Natsu said, repeating what Gray had told him. He took a shuddering breath and relaxed, trying to adjust to this new feeling. Despite it being his first time, Natsu wasn't being a complete idiot. He was being gentle and..oddly sensual about it. He licked and touched Gray in the right places, as if he knew everything about the ice-mages body. Before Gray knew it, Natsu was about to enter him, forever blurring the lines between their friendship and something else. Not that they weren't already blurred.

"Are you sure you're ready?" Natsu asked, and Gray held back a laugh. Natsu sure liked to ask loaded questions.

"Of course not, but we don't really have a choice. Just do it." He replied. Natsu frowned at this but continued anyway, knowing Gray was right. He tried to go slow, but his nerves got the best of him. His head was in before Gray could blink.

"Oi! Not so fast, stupid, it hurts!" Gray yelled, punching Natsu in the arm.

"Sorry, I'm nervous." Natsu said, ignoring the punch and slowly going deeper inside. He paused whenever Gray looked uncomfortable, but eventually he made it. Then came the point where he was lost again. "Er..now what?"

"Oh my- move you idiot! You know, in and out?" Gray said, exasperated by Natsu's lack of experience.

"Oh, right." Natsu said, laughing at Gray's pissed off face. He began moving, surprised at how good it felt. Gray was so tight and warm inside, yet on the outside he was freezing. I wonder if I can find that spot like he did, Natsu wondered, moving around until suddenly Gray cried out. "Heh, found it."

"Shut up." Gray said somewhat breathlessly. He never knew what it felt like to have his prostate touched, this was his first time with another guy after all, but it felt amazing. "And go faster."

"Whatever you say ice princess." Natsu said, ignoring Gray's scowl and increasing his speed. As the headboard started hitting the wall, Natsu felt something hot pooling in his groin, and it felt like something tight needed to snap. He kept going faster and faster until both of them were panting and making noises that they couldn't hold back any longer. Natsu had never felt like this before. It was exhilarating yet scary at the same time. His entire body tingled from his impending release, and by the way Gray was gripping his shoulders, he knew he wasn't the only one getting close. Natsu suddenly felt the urge to kiss Gray. Usually he would wonder why he would have such an urge, but right now he didn't care.

Gray's eyes widened as Natsu suddenly kissed him hard and their tongues clashed together. They had only kissed a few times, yet this one was different. It was full of some raw, unyielding emotion that Gray wasn't used to. Much like Natsu, it was full of passion. It should have been just another kiss to Gray, yet he felt it throughout his entire body. It even pierced his heart. And that bothered him. Yet right now he couldn't bring himself to care, as his vision went white from the powerful release. A second later Natsu followed, burying his face in the crook of Gray's neck and biting down hard.

There was a moment of stillness as they regained their breath; Natsu rolling off Gray and making a mess on the bed. His chest and stomach had been splattered with Gray's semen, which was now on the sheets. Not to mention what was spilling out of Gray's ass. But Natsu sure as hell didn't care, he just wanted sleep. Gray however became aware immediately and grimaced, not liking the feeling. He attempted to stand, stumbling for a moment as his legs came back to life, and began walking towards the bathroom.

"Where you going?" Natsu asked, already in the process of falling asleep. Of all the times he's seen Gray walk around naked, this time felt weird.

"Shower." Was all Gray said, feeling exhausted himself. Yet unlike Natsu he liked being clean. He waited until he was under the hot spray of water to think about what really happened. He and Natsu had sex. The deed was done, and it was a huge deal. He felt accomplished, confused, and somewhat sick. Was he gay now? He still liked women a lot, but wouldn't having sex with a guy make you gay? Well, maybe bisexual.

"Why am I even thinking about this? I've never questioned my sexuality before! This wasn't supposed to change anything, Natsu and I are still friends and I still like girls. I can't let this get to me.."

Try as he might, Gray knew nothing would be the same after this, and he couldn't shake the feeling that everything was about to get worse.


So yeah..this took forever. Not completely happy with how it turned out but oh well. This was probably the hardest chapter I've ever had to write. Hopefully I didn't disappoint anyone, but if I did, there's still more to come.
