Again! Lucy had done it again! What was wrong with her, how could she keep letting this happen? Lucy was freaking out as she bolted out of the guild and down the road to her apartment. She kissed Natsu, again! More than kissed, she stroked and rubbed and wound her body up until it was singing for his touch. She could still feel desire coursing through her and she ached for his hot hands and mouth. She wasn't paying attention to where she was going, focused only on escape which in hindsight was a terrible idea. She realised it the moment she collided with something solid and pale and went tumbling with it to the ground just in front of the stairs to her home. She heard whatever it was grunt in pain as it hit the pavement and she fell on top of it.

"Ah geeze Lucy, hello to you too" She heard it say, recognizing his voice instantly. Her eyes traveled up his bare abdomen and chest, admiring the blue Fairy Tail guild mark on his chest before her eyes met his solid blue gaze.

"Gray… Ah I'm sorry" Lucy groaned as she got off him, wincing in pain when she realised she'd twisted her ankle in the fall. She sat back on the pavement and rubbed her ankle, moving it around cautiously. Gray eyed her with concern evident on his face.

"You hurt?" He questioned as he stood up. Lucy shook her head, waving her hand to reassure him it was nothing.

"Just bruised my pride a bit... Sorry for running into you" Lucy said apologetically, moving to stand and wincing slightly at the pain. She moved to walk up the steps to her apartment when suddenly Gray swept her into his arms.

"Liar. Come on, let's get some ice on that ankle" Gray said as he carried her up the short flight of stairs to her door.

"G-Gray! I can walk, you don't have to do this" Lucy stuttered in protest but he ignored her, shifting her slightly in his arms so he could take her keys and unlock the door. When they walked in he set her down on her bed.

"Wait here for a sec" Gray instructed, when he moved to step away a thought occurred to her as she was tugging off her shoes.

"I don't have any ice in the freezer, I haven't refilled the tray since I got back" Lucy said. He gave her an incredulous look, raising an eyebrow as if silently asking if she really thought that was a problem for him. Lucy blinked for a second before it dawned on her who she was speaking to and she groaned at her own stupid comment. She flopped down on the bed and covered her face with her hands. She heard him chuckle as she mentally added that to the ever growing list of stupid things she'd done today.

"Come on Lucy, give me your leg" She heard Gray say. She glanced at him between a gap in her fingers and saw he'd dragged a chair from her dining room table to sit in front of her. He patted his knee where he wanted her to put her sore ankle. She removed her hands from her face and propped herself up on her elbows.

"It's fine Gray you don't have to-" Lucy started but Gray simply grabbed her leg himself and rested it on his thigh. Lucy saw the pretty blue steamy light that accompanied Gray's magic and he rested his now frosted hands on her sore ankle. She sighed at the cool feeling against the tender flesh, already starting to feel the pain dissipate in the slight numbness. When he started massaging the area tenderly Lucy couldn't help but moan, letting her head fall back and her eyes close while staying propped up on her elbows.

Gray shifted uncomfortably in the chair, trying to ease some of the tightness in his pants caused by his growing arousal. He loved the little sounds Lucy was making as his fingers caressed her skin and he admired her perfect body.

"Ah… Mmm… Gray, I didn't know you were so good at… Oh… Tending to injuries" He heard Lucy compliment him through her small hums of pleasure. In truth he'd never met someone who was so sensitive to his touch, and it was clear that she had no idea how much she was turning him on.

"I'm good at a lot of things Lucy" Gray responded as he slowly stroked up her smooth calf and back down again.

"Nnhhh… Yeah I bet you are" She muttered, kind of hopeful he didn't hear that last part. Lucy was sure he had no idea what he was doing to her. His gentle strokes were driving her to distraction as she fantasized about him continuing to travel upward until he was stroking a much more sensitive area.

"So what had you running for your life earlier anyway?" Gray asked, interrupting her fantasy. She thought about his question and when she remembered the answer she bolted upright in the bed, pulling her leg away from him. Geeze what was wrong with her?! Not 20 minutes earlier she'd been grinding herself against Natsu, ready to let him take her in the guild gym and now she was fantasizing about Gray stroking her so intimately? She cringed internally.

"I am… the most horrible person in the world" She said, absolutely sure that she would be going to hell for her cruel behaviour. As she waged war with herself inside her own head she heard Gray chuckle.

"I'm guessing something happened with Natsu then?" Gray asked, giving her a sexy smirk. She stared at him, surprise evident on her face and he laughed again. "There's no need to feel so torn Lucy" He assured her as she looked at him in complete confusion.

"Wh-What?" She stuttered. Gray stroked his hand, which he had let get warm again, up her thigh as he moved in closer.

"Don't be torn. Natsu and I both knew the score going into this and we've come to terms with it" Gray advised as he gently pushed her body down onto the bed with his own. He propped himself up on one forearm above her as he stroked his other hand up her abdomen to settle just under her breast. He stared down into her eyes, letting her see both the desire and resolve there.

"But…" Lucy began but Gray silenced her protest.

"No buts Lucy. We knew what we were getting into. You could have chosen him, or you could have chosen me but you never had to choose just one of us. We are okay with that… Even if it means occasionally you'll run straight from his arms into mine, or the other way around" Gray assured her as he leaned down to ever so slightly ghost his lips over hers. He felt her shiver beneath him and reveled in the feeling, but he had to make things clear to her before anything happened so he moved back. Still above her but propped up with a hand on either side of her head, one knee resting between her thighs on the bed and the other leg still touching the floor.

"Gray I…" She started, lifting her hands to cover her face but he interrupted again, grabbing her hands to pin them on either side of her head.

"Let me finish… We are nakama Lucy, nothing will change that. You can reject me now, or you can use me a hundred times and reject me later and it won't matter to our friendship" Gray started "But… I need you to make that same promise to me. No matter what happens, we'll always be friends and team mates okay?" Lucy stared into his eyes, hope and desire flooding into her as he spoke. Was he being serious? Could she really have everything she wanted? In her head she knew it was too good to be true, but she wanted it so badly that she chose to believe it.

"I… I promise" She stuttered. Gray breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Good… because I can't keep my hands off you for another second" Gray confessed before leaning down to lightly brush his lips over her shoulder.

Gray was seducing her. She really didn't know any other way of putting it; his every move was just pure seduction. She shivered as his lips ghosted softly over her shoulder and up her neck, building anticipation bit by bit until he finally reached her mouth. She couldn't help but moan when his lips pressed against hers at last, but still he kept the kiss light. He was teasing her, giving her just enough to drive her need even higher. She arched her back, trying desperately to increase contact with him and just when she thought she might explode from waiting he tilted his head and deepened the kiss. His tongue stroked over hers in the most incredible way as he leaned his hips forward so his thigh was pressing against her intimately. He released one of her hands to stroke up her side before his fingertips slipped under her crop top to brush the underside of her breast.

Lucy moaned against his mouth, lifting her hips to increase the contact against his thigh as she used her now free hand to run her fingernails over his shoulder and press him closer against her body. Suddenly he withdrew from her, leaving her bereft for just a second before he abruptly lifted her and turned her around on the bed so she was laying on it fully. He pushed her knees apart and settled his hips between them before crashing his lips back down to hers. Lucy eagerly wrapped her arms around his neck, threading one hand into his soft black hair and the other she stroked up and down his back. He had one hand behind her head and the other he was using to stroke down her side. Lucy felt his hand slide from her hip all the way up, memorizing the curve of her body, before gently cupping her breast. Then when his thumb grazed over her nipple it was like a tiny bolt of electricity raced from the hardened nub right to her clit.

"Nnnhhhh Gray!" She couldn't help but moan his name, breaking their kiss. Gray lifted his head to look at her face as his thumb brushed over it again. His mouth slowly curved into a sexy as hell smile when she squirmed under him.

"So sensitive Lucy…" Gray told her, dipping his head again to kiss her neck as he continued to rub his thumb across her nipple. "I love how you react to my touch…" He whispered in hear ear. Just when she thought she'd gotten used to the feeling of his hand on her breast he slipped his fingers under her crop top to roll her nipple between his fingers. Lucy cried out throwing her head back and arching into his touch.

"Nyaah, Gray please…" Lucy moaned breathlessly, not even entirely sure what she was begging for. Gray knew though. He rolled his hips against hers while pushing her crop top over her head, exposing her to his touch. This time it was Gray's turn to moan as he stared at her glorious body, naked but for a tiny pair of shorts and an interesting silver key on a necklace. He dipped his head to capture one of the perfect little buds in his mouth while his hand resumed fondling the other. Lucy was struggling to comprehend the incredible sensation Gray was creating in her body. His mouth and hands felt almost too good and she could feel something building inside her. She had one hand in his hair and the other she was using to hold onto the bed sheets for dear life as he coaxed her body higher and higher.

Then there was a knock on the door….

Gray stilled above her, turning his head toward her front door almost waiting for it to open as someone barged into Lucy's house like everyone did. Lucy made a noise somewhat like a whimper in frustration when his mouth left her breast. The door didn't open though thankfully, it must have been someone who still respected Lucy's privacy. The knock sounded again and they heard a voice speaking from the other side.

"Lucy? Hello are you there? It's Lissana" She announced through the wooden barrier. "Master has asked me to gather everyone up, he said he has some kind of announcement" Lissana told them. Lucy squeezed her eyes shut, struggling to find her voice to answer back.

"O-Okay Lissana, I'll be there in a minute" Lucy managed to say as she nudged Gray to get off her, covering her breasts while a blush began to stain her cheeks. Even though they said nothing to each other their disappointment was palpable, but there was no way around it. If Makarov wanted everyone at the guild it must be something important.

Gray gave Lucy one last chaste kiss before he exited via the window, leaving her to get dressed and walk with Lissana back to the guild.

Sorry this one took so long. It's harder for me to write the scenes with Gray but I hope you all still like it!
