Natsu was glaring at his phone screen as he read the messages he kept on receiving from his girlfriend and their group of friends. Currently, the group chat - which the gang specifically made just to discuss Gray and Juvia's matter- is flooded with messages asking him what's happening with the two like he's some kind of paparazzi they hired.
Not meddling with their business my ass! Natsu grumbled in his mind. He could not understand why they all sent him to be Gray's chaperone when it were them who seemed to be too interested to know everything. They should have taken the chore off his hand and save him the trouble of being a nanny for that grumpy mother fucker.
He sighed and decided to just start a group video call to show every nosy member of the group what was happening because he's too tired of typing a reply to answer each of them. He can't answer all of them at once! He lifted his phone when the call connected, and several faces appeared on his screen. Jeez, they are not nosy at all! He sarcastically thought. Amidst the noise around him he could faintly hear them asking him question after question.
"Just see for yourself, assholes!"
Natsu switched to the rear camera of his phone and pointed it at Gray and Juvia's direction. Good thing he's phone camera is of good quality so everyone can see what's going on despite the dim light in the bar.
Lazily, Natsu lifted up the mug of beer he ordered earlier and almost choke on his drink when the two people he's supposed to watch over started eating each other's face. Hell, he just blinked once and now he got a front row seat in an unwanted show!
Gray with his tongue down Juvia's throat wasn't what he's expecting to see! Wasn't that asshole feeling down just a while ago?
Damn! What were their friends even worried about?
Obviously the two of them were not fighting and screaming at each other like what they expected would happen.
Now he felt he's just being a creep watching two people make out.
Well, he's not the only one surprised. The people who answered his video call were as shocked as him, but they quickly got over it and now they were all cheering. Weirdos.
Fuck! The music in the bar was already too loud, now his friends are making havoc through his phone. Thinking that they've already seen enough, Natsu disconnected the call without a word.
He was just putting back his phone in his pocket when he saw Gray dragging Juvia out of the bar.
Now, where the hell are they going?
To find a room, obviously? His mind told him, and his face scrunched up.
But Gray's drunk!
Was he actually thinking of drunk driving? Or was Juvia going to drive?
Natsu groaned and followed the two of them. He got no plan of being their third wheel, but he had to make sure they're safe.
When he got to the bar's parking lot, sure enough Gray was fumbling for his car keys. Was he too muddleheaded with booze that he forgot that Natsu drove them there and he didn't give his keys back?
"Hey, asshole!" the pinkette called out. "I got your keys!"
Gray turned and looked at him. "What a good timing Natsu," he grinned. "We need to go to my place, and I'm buzzed. Since you're the chosen one tonight, you're gonna drive us back to my apartment." He said as he flung his arm over Juvia's shoulder.
"There's no need to bother Natsu," Juvia refused. "I can drive."
Natsu made face at Gray. At least Juvia was polite enough while her boyfriend was a downright bastard. Really, she's too good for his shitty friend. "Nah. It's okay. This is the least I could do for the two of you," he said unlocking the car. "Get in and let's get this over with. I wanna go to Lucy's after this."
They got in the car, but Natsu was appalled when the other two entered the backseat.
"Now what? I'm lending a hand and you're treating me like a hired driver!?" Natsu shrieked when Gray got in the backseat along with Juvia and he was sitting in front of the car alone.
"You offered, now you're complaining. Just drive already!" Gray retorted as he buried his face on the crook of Juvia's shoulder while his arms snaked around Juvia's waist.
The bluenette's face reddened and she smiled awkwardly at Natsu. Gray must be really drunk if he's acting too clingy and shamelessly in front of his friend. Yes, he usually teased her but never like this in front of their friends.
"Hey! Don't you dare start having sex back there! I'm still here you know!"
"Shut up!" Gray grumbled. He's too busy taking in Juvia's scent and Natsu's voice was irking him. He just wanted to focus on Juvia and assure himself that she's really there in his arms.
"I'll shut up as long as you don't do anything nasty! Fuck, you pervert! Weren't you just drowning in sorrow not an hour ago? What happened now? You two are all good and getting handsy already?" Natsu ranted as he drove faster. God dammit! He's seeing more than what he needed to see. He's gonna disinfect his eyes when he gets home.
Gray lifted his head a bit and looked at Natsu through the rear-view mirror. "Can't you just be happy that we're okay now?"
"Well last time I check she's married, and you are basically committing adultery!"
Gray's eyes darken when he felt Juvia stiffened. There's an uncomfortable expression on her beautiful face. "Since when did you pay attention with things such as that? And they are already getting a divorce so fuck off."
"Keyword: getting! Not yet divorced!" Natsu retorted. "Sorry Juv, no offense meant. I'm just distracting that asshole because I don't want to watch a live porn!"
"I'm not as uncivilized as you!"
"FYI, I never tried doing it with Lucy with other people in the car!"
"We're not doing anything!"
"Oh, come on. I'm not blind! I can see your hands. Gray seriously!"
"Why the hell are you even looking?!"
"Well, maybe because I have eyes and I can't turn them off?"
Totally embarrassed with the men's conversation, Juvia tried to avoid looking at Natsu and tried moving a little bit farther away from Gray. They were like two kindergarteners arguing over who's going to play the Lego blocks. They continued to argue until they reached Gray's apartment building.
Without bothering to come out of the car, Natsu just waited for them to get down before quickly driving off. He just said that he'll return Gray's car the next day and he's gone. He went away too fast like the devil was hot on his tail.
When they were finally alone, Gray wrapped his arms around her from behind, his face buried on her neck.
Juvia smiled and patted his hand gently. "Are we going in or we'll spend the night out here?"
She heard him chuckled before he guided her into his apartment.
Hi! This one is short coz it's only half of the original update. I'm on the process of rewriting the next part because apparently, writing a lemon after so long is not as easy as it used to be.
Next update might be in 2 days.
