Warning: If you are not eighteen do not read this chapter. There is very adult content in this chapter.
Author's Note: I apologize for the long wait. School has been hectic. There's going to be at least a month before I update this chapter again. As the semester winds down I won't have time for writing and then I plan to work on two other of my fics and wrap them up before I get back to my schedule. So I had to give a good chapter before then. This chapter's nice and long and for those of you who like smut...there is smut. I hope it's up to your standards. I very rarely write sex scenes so I'm not well practiced. I'm sure I'll improve as time goes on, but hopefully what I wrote now is okay. Anyway, please enjoy the chapter and leave a review. They fuel me so even if I won't be updating the next chapter quickly I'll work my ass off to make it a good one for you all. I'm really thrilled with how well received this fic has been so far, and thank you all for reading.

Natsu had regressed a bit after the incident. Three days the fire dragon slayer had slipped back into muteness. And even after he'd come out of it he was more hesitant to speak, only really talking if he needed something or if Gray prompted him. Even more concerning, he'd grown reluctant to eat again. For the first time in weeks Gray had had to beg Natsu to eat at least half of his meal. And it killed Gray. It killed him to know that this relapse was his fault.
Gray, currently, was staring morosely at Natsu's sleeping face. Without thinking about it he reached out and stroked the fire mage's cheek. He couldn't help the fond smile that flitted across his face. Natsu was so boyish. There was still a little roundness to his face. His cheeks hadn't quite chiseled out yet. And even though Natsu was only a year younger than Gray, it was clear that a razor had never touched his face. Gray himself had to shave twice a day thanks to his dark hair. As he continued to stare at Natsu he couldn't help but find it funny that he'd never noticed how young Natsu looked before. After all, they'd spent a lot of time together fighting on the same team.
Then again, maybe that was why he'd never noticed. Natsu was one hell of a fighter. He was a strong mage, and his strength didn't just come from his magic. Natsu was cut. There was nothing boyish about Natsu's body. He was broad-shouldered, bulging muscles obvious among his back and arms. And Gray knew if he were to flip Natsu over onto his back he'd be met with a hard six-pack. Natsu was made of pure muscle. Gray had always been a little jealous. He was muscular, but he had more of a rangy look to him, more of a runner's build. He'd never been able to bulk up like Natsu had.
Gray continued to look over Natsu's body until he felt the rush of heat to his groin and realized he was half hard. Gray closed his eyes and groaned into his pillow. It was becoming an increasing problem for him lately. Something about being around Natsu made the ice mage painfully turned on. Stifling a sigh he opened his eyes and nearly jumped when he saw that Natsu was staring back at him.
"Are you feeling okay?" Natsu asked concerned.
"What?" Gray asked dumbly.
Natsu frowned. "I heard you groaning," he said. "And you look flushed."
Gray blushed. He'd rather Natsu not know why he was flushed. "I'm fine. I just wasn't ready to wake up yet," he lied.
Natsu didn't look convinced and scooched closer. He placed his palm to Gray's forehead. "You don't feel warm," he declared.
"That's because I don't have a fever," Gray laughed pulling at Natsu's wrist to pull his hand away from his forehead. Natsu nodded his head and shifted as he started to sit up, but as he did so his knee brushed against the bulge in Gray's boxers and he froze. Gray tensed and waited for Natsu to freak out but to his surprise the fire mage smiled in amusement.
"So that's why you were flushed, hmm?" Natsu teased.
Gray smiled bashfully. "Yeah. Sorry, it's-Christ!" he exclaimed suddenly after Natsu pressed his palm to his crotch. He watched shocked as Natsu traced his cock through the fabric of his boxers, sending shocks of pleasure through Gray's body. He tried to focus on Natsu rather than his own body. The fire mage's face had a look of cautious wonder on it as he continued to trace a finger along the outline of his erection. His fingers slipped closer and closer to his groin, until his fingers brushed against Gray's balls. Gray let out a cry and Natsu immediately stopped. Gray took a minute to get his bearings before staring up at Natsu, stunned.
Natsu blushed and ducked his head. "Sorry," he said.
"No it's…it's fine," Gray assured him sitting up and lifting Natsu's chin up so he could look the other mage in the eyes. "You're fine, Natsu. There's no harm done." He grinned wickedly then. "Of course, now I have to go take care of this." Natsu flushed and Gray laughed. "Get dressed while I shower, okay?" Natsu nodded, and before Gray could think about it he leaned forward and gave Natsu a quick peck on the lips before hurrying to the bathroom and hopping in the shower. He tried not to think about why he'd done that as he brought himself off.
When Gray walked back into the room Natsu was dressed. The fire mage's gaze jumped over to him and Gray smiled when he saw that Natsu was checking him out. He shook his head when his dick tried to jump back to life, and quickly dressed. When he turned back around to face Natsu, the other boy was still staring at him.
Gray smiled. "We're going out today," he told him.
"What?" Natsu exclaimed. "Am I allowed to?"
"No, but we're going anyway," Gray replied pulling Natsu to his feet.
"Where are we going?" Natsu asked as Gray led him out of the room he'd been confined in for over a month now.
"Don't worry about it," Gray replied. "You'll see." Gray watched Natsu's increasing excitement with fond amusement. The fire mage had a huge smile on his face as Gray led him through town, and when he begged Gray to let him browse through the market, Gray didn't have the heart to tell him no. They had been out for an hour when they finally reached their destination. Gray felt a small twinge of nerves as he led Natsu up the walk to the healer's house he'd hired a little over two months ago. He held his breath as the healer opened the door and stared sternly out at him.
"I thought I told you not to require my assistance again," the healer woman stated dryly.
"I don't," Gray answered quickly. "I just thought you might like to see how your patient is doing."
The woman's violet eyes swept past him to glance at Natsu who was standing close behind Gray, staring at the scene around him with a bright smile. The healer's eyes turned back to Gray. "He looks fine to me," she said, but stepped back to let them in, and Gray yanked the fire mage past the threshold. Gray glanced around as the healer led them down a hallway. The house was small, but cozy. The walls were covered in pictures, but they didn't make the place look cluttered. Gray wanted to ask who the people in the pictures were, but he got the feeling his questions wouldn't be well received so he held his tongue as the woman brought them into her kitchen.
"I have tea on," the woman stated as they sat down at her kitchen table. "I can't offer you a large dinner but if you're going to stay that long I'm making chili."
Natsu perked up at this declaration. "Will it be spicy?" he asked eagerly.
Gray was shocked when a small smile slipped onto the woman's face, giving her a softer expression. "It'll have some zip to it," the healer replied. "But probably not as much as you're hoping. Spicy food and middle age aren't a good combination."
"If it has any spice at all Natsu will be happy," Gray told her, and turned to Natsu. "Do you think the spicy food will help you use your dragon slayer magic again?"
Natsu frowned at him. "Gray," he whined, but Gray didn't let him continue. He turned his attention back to the healer.
"He's had a pretty good recovery," Gray explained. "He's not so jumpy and he's eating well. He's starting to gain his weight back, but one thing is still concerning me. He hasn't used his magic at all. Do you think what they did to him could have blocked it somehow?"
The healer opened her mouth to reply when suddenly the sound of a chair scraping across the floor caused them to turn to Natsu. The fire mage was glaring at Gray. "There's nothing wrong with my magic. I just don't feel like using it. Can't you just let it go?" he cried.
"If you showed me you can actually use it," Gray replied.
"Fine!" Natsu snapped and then shot a flame under the tea pot on the stove causing the water inside to heat up instantly and the pot to whistle. Natsu turned back to Gray. "See! There's nothing wrong with my magic."
"Okay. You've assured me," Gray said taking the teapot off the stove. "I don't know why you had to make a big production out of it."
"I'm not the one who makes big productions out of things," Natsu replied moodily and started to head for the back door.
"Where are you going?" Gray asked him.
"Out back to practice my dragon slayer magic," Natsu returned. "Just so you don't have to worry about it anymore."
Gray shook his head as the door slammed behind Natsu and watched from the window as the flame-brain began going through training moves. "I can't believe it's taken me this long to rile him up enough to get him using his magic again," he muttered as the healer handed him a cup of tea.
"I don't think that's why you brought him here," the healer said staring over at Gray from the kitchen table. Gray's eyes widened in surprise. It was odd how this woman was able to see right through him. The healer continued to give him a hard stare. "Why did you really bring him here?"
"I thought it would do him good to get out of the guild," Gray replied, but when the woman continued to stare at him he sighed. "I also need someone to watch him while I attend to some business."
The healer's nostrils flared. "I want no part of your guild's business," she stated. "Take your friend and leave immediately."
"It's not the guild's business. It's mine," Gray said calmly. "I need to meet with someone."
"Who?" the healer questioned.
"Frank Kent," Gray answered. "I'm trying to find two people. Two old friends actually. They were with Natsu when he raided our old guild hall but I managed to convince Master Arlock that the two don't pose a threat on their own, and he let them go."
"And you're looking for them so they can come back and take Natsu away?" the healer questioned.
Gray shook his head. "I'm looking for them because Natsu is convinced they're dead," he replied. "The bastard that hurt him told him he killed them. I just want to show Natsu they're fine."
"No," the healer said. "You want to show yourself that they're fine."
Gray glanced up at her. "Everyone keeps telling me that," he sighed.
"Because you're not being honest with yourself," the woman told him. She picked up his empty teacup and set it in the sink. "You better get to Kent's office before it closes up. I'll keep an eye on your friend."
"Thank you," Gray said and quickly headed for Frank Kent's office building.
Frank Kent was sitting at his desk flipping through take-out menus when Gray arrived at his office. "Take a seat, Mr. Fullbuster," he ordered without looking up. Gray sat down across from the private detective and tried not to squirm impatiently as the PI continued to search through his menus. Finally, the man put them aside. "I have news for you."
"You found Lucy and Happy?" Gray asked hopefully.
"No," Frank Kent replied. "But I found possessions of theirs." He pushed his chair back and opened a desk drawer before tossing the items on the desk so Gray could see them. Gray recognized Happy's sack and Lucy's celestial spirit keys immediately.
"Those are theirs," Gray said excitedly. "They must have been close to where you found them. You should have stayed in the area."
Frank Kent sighed. "I would have," he replied, "if I thought I was going to find them alive."
"What?" Gray cried.
"The way my telepathy works is that I can see old memories and thoughts or new memories and thoughts," Frank Kent began to explain.
"Well, I know that," Gray responded. "That's why you're so good at what you do."
"Yes, it's a great asset," Frank admitted.
"Yeah, it is. But why are you explaining it to me? What does it have to do with my friends?" Gray asked.
"I haven't picked up any new thoughts or memories from them from their belongings," Frank replied. "It wasn't so odd when I went through the young woman's apartment and didn't get any progress. Old memories can sink in and be attached to objects. New memories can't get through. But I should be able to get readings from these items. They carried these items every day. It makes thoughts hard to settle on them. The fact that I'm getting nothing but old memories from these items tells me I'm no longer looking for living people. From this point on in my investigation I'll be looking for their bodies."
Gray shook his head. "You're wrong," he stated. "Lucy and Happy can't be dead. They were…they are Fairy Tail mages. They must have just had to leave their items behind. I'm sure they're alive."
Frank Kent looked sympathetic. "I hope I am wrong," he told him. "Trust me, I love it when I'm wrong. But I needed to tell you the new realities of this case so you know what to be prepared for."
"I don't have to be prepared for anything," Gray replied standing up. "Keep Happy's backpack and Lucy's keys. They'll be missing them. Especially Lucy. Have a good night." He didn't look back as he rushed from the office. He couldn't accept the fact that Happy and Lucy might be dead. Because if they were not only was he wrong about his guild mates, but it would be his fault.
Gray walked back to the healer's house slowly. Even though Natsu didn't know where he'd gone, he didn't want to face him. He felt like a failure. Sighing, he went to knock on the door but it opened before his fist could make contact. The healer tugged him in by his jacket and shut the door quickly behind them. Gray took one look at her worried face and a feeling of dread sank into him.
"What happened?" he demanded.
"I saw one of your guild mates lurking outside the front of my house," the woman replied. "That little girl. The nasty one."
"Mary," Gray sighed and then his eyes widened and he started looking around him frantically. "Natsu! Where…"
"He's in the kitchen," the woman told him cutting off his panic attack. "I brought him inside when I noticed her."
"Did she see him training?" Gray asked.
"I don't know," the woman replied. "But I'm going to tell you something. Take your friend and run."
"What?!" Gray exclaimed.
"You've kept him from harm for the moment, but you won't be able to keep him safe forever," the healer said. "Take him and run. Get yourselves out."
"I can't," Gray replied. "I need the guild to get to Zeref. So I can defeat E.N.D and get revenge for my family."
"There's no satisfaction in revenge," the woman told him, and Gray noticed her eyes sweeping over to a picture of two young girls hung up on the wall. When her eyes came back to him they looked firm. "Trust me. It won't make you happy."
Gray glanced over at the picture and then back at the woman. "What happened to them?" Gray asked softly.
"The one was killed by a monster," the healer answered him slowly. "The other became a monster herself." She turned away from him then. "I'm leaving tonight. I won't be able to help you again."
"I still don't know your name," Gray commented as he followed her to the kitchen.
The woman paused. "It's Aoi," she told him.
They both entered the kitchen then and Natsu looked up from where he sat at the table wolfing down chili. "Gray! You've got to try this. Her chili's the best!" the fire mage enthused.
Gray smiled. "I doubt you left me anything to sample," he teased. "I hope you at least let our host have a bowl."
"Only because I have fast reflexes," Aoi commented smiling. "I'll wrap the rest up for you."
"Where'd you go?" Natsu asked Gray.
"I had an errand to run," Gray replied, his solemn mood returning now that he was reminded of his business.
"Oh," Natsu said visibly deflating. "For the guild?"
"No. It was a personal errand," Gray answered as Aoi handed him a plastic container of leftover chili. "Let's get going. We have to go back now."
"Can we stop at the market again?" Natsu asked dragging his feet.
"No. Now let's go," Gray urged. He didn't want to tell Natsu they had been followed, but he felt the need to get back enough for the two of them. He didn't let Natsu dawdle in town and practically dragged him back into the guildhall. He was relieved to find it guilty, but was sure his luck wouldn't hold out for long, and sure enough he was proven right.
"Taking your pet out for a walk, Gray?" Jerome's smug voice sounded out from behind him. "I don't think Master Arlock would like that."
Gray turned around to face his guild mate. "I don't see why he'd care," he answered keeping his voice calm. "I brought him back, didn't I?"
"Hmm," Jerome hummed sauntering closer to them. "Miraculously, yes, you did bring him back."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Gray asked, his eyes narrowing.
"Just that Mary saw your pet practicing his magic in someone's backyard," Jerome replied. "She thought he must have gotten away from you somehow."
"I can handle Natsu," Gray snapped. "I'm stronger than he is."
"So he didn't get away from you then?" Jerome said.
"No, I was watching him the whole time. Mary must not have been able to see me from where she was standing," Gray replied. "Besides, my pet would never run from me. He does what I tell him to. Or there are consequences." He felt more than saw Natsu tense next to him.
"He does what you tell him to, does he?" Jerome questioned. Gray felt his heart sink. Jerome wasn't buying it. Feeling guiltier than ever before he had in his life he roughly grabbed a hold of Natsu's hair and pulled him to him.
Natsu yelped. "Gray…"
"Shut up and get on your knees!" Gray growled menacingly. Natsu immediately dropped to the ground staring up at him in shock and horror. Gray's stomach heaved as the fire mage began to tremble, but he had to sell his control over the other mage to Jerome if he wanted to keep him safe. He kept his face in a threatening expression. "Blow me." Natsu's eyes widened and he tried to scramble back, but Gray tugged hard on his hair, keeping him kneeling at his feet.
"You know what I'll do if you refuse. I wouldn't keep me waiting any longer," Gray threatened menacingly. Natsu whimpered, but lifted his shaking hands to Gray's fly and pulled the zipper down. Gray kept his eyes up, staring Jerome down. When he felt Natsu's hand slide into the front of his boxers his blonde guild mate finally spoke up.
"Alright, I get the point. He follows orders," Jerome snapped.
Gray nodded his head and yanked Natsu's hair to get him to stop. "Yes, so if you're satisfied now I'll take my pet and we'll be on our way," he said smugly. "I'd like to finish what was started." He pulled Natsu to his feet and pushed him forward towards his room. He opened the door and shoved the fire mage inside before slamming the door shut behind him. When he turned back to face Natsu he could have wept in dismay.
"Natsu, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" Gray asked stepping towards his old friend, but the fire mage stumbled backwards away from him. Gray froze. He had to fix the situation. "I had to do it, Natsu. If Jerome thought I couldn't control you he'd report me to Master Arlock and then I wouldn't be able to protect you from them anymore. I never would have made you go through with it though, Natsu. I knew Jerome would stop me." This time when he moved towards the pinkette, Natsu didn't back away. Gray held him in his arms and rubbed his back soothingly.
"Why did he stop you?" Natsu asked quietly after a few minutes.
"Because he doesn't want to see what he can't have," Gray replied and stepped back so he could see Natsu's face. "Jerome's wanted me from the moment I joined the guild, but I refused him." Gray smirked. "He's not my type."
"You mean because he's not a girl?" Natsu questioned.
"No," Gray answered. "Because he's a pompous git." Natsu gave him a watery smile. Gray leaned forward and pressed a kiss to the fire mage's forehead.
"You do that a lot," Natsu commented.
"Do what?" Gray asked.
"Kiss me," Natsu replied. "You never used to."
"You never would have let me," Gray returned walking around Natsu to sit on his bed.
Natsu turned to him. "Did you want to before?" he asked. "Did you ever want to kiss me before what happened here?"
Gray stared up at him and thought back to their time at Fairy Tail and shook his head. "No," he answered, and then smiled. "Back then I just wanted to clock you."
Natsu smiled back before sitting down next to Gray. "I never wanted to kiss you back then either," he said. "But now I want to kiss you all the time."
Gray raised his eyebrows. "All the time?" he questioned.
Natsu flushed. "Sorry. You probably think I'm an idiot," he replied.
Gray laughed. "I've always thought you were an idiot," he told him.
"Ice Princess," Natsu replied punching him lightly on the arm.
"Flame-brain," Gray teased shoving him a little. They smiled brightly at each other and then…they kissed. It started off soft and slow, but slowly the passion increased. Gray flicked his tongue over Natsu's lips and the fire mage opened his mouth to him. Without hesitation Gray shoved his tongue into his mouth, exploring the warm cavern. Natsu tasted like smoke and cinnamon, and Gray was addicted. He grew more aggressive, thrusting his tongue in and out of Natsu's mouth, as one of his hands clamped onto the back of his head to keep him still.
Natsu didn't seem to mind and scooted closer to Gray. He seemed to grow more adventurous and soon his tongue snuck into Gray's mouth to explore. Gray sucked on the pink muscle and Natsu groaned before pulling away, panting for breath. Gray didn't give him more than a few seconds before diving back in, pressing sloppy kisses against the fire mage's parted lips and then nipping his bottom lip gently. Natsu whimpered, and Gray felt all the blood in his body go straight to his groin and he became painfully hard.
Gray loosened the hand in Natsu's hair and brought it down to cup his cheek. "Are you okay with this?" he asked concerned.
Natsu nodded his head. "Yeah, this is okay," he said, and then blushed. "Better than okay really." Gray followed the fire mage's glance down to his groin.
A smile tugged at Gray's lips but he looked up at Natsu in concern. "Is that gonna be a problem for you?" he asked.
"I-I don't know," Natsu replied uncertainly. "I don't know if I can do more than just kissing."
"We don't have to do any more than that," Gray assured him. "We're only gonna do what you want to, Natsu. And if it gets to be too much tell me to stop. I'll stop. You're in charge here."
"Can we go back to kissing?" Natsu asked. Gray smiled and descended back onto Natsu's lips, and after a moment pushed him back so his partner was on his back with his head on a pillow. He straddled over the fire mage's waist never breaking off the kiss. They continued to devour each other's lips for a while before Gray finally left Natsu's mouth and began to trail kisses up the fire mage's jaw, stopping to nip the skin every so often since he liked to hear the little whimper it elicited from Natsu.
Gray continued right up to Natsu's ear before biting gently onto the lobe and pulling the padded skin into his mouth, sucking hard. Natsu cried out and bucked up underneath. Gray smirked around the flesh in his mouth before letting it go and nipping and licking his way up and down the shell of Natsu's ears before biting hard on the sensitive skin just below the ear itself, while at the same time one of his hands tugged at one of the fire mage's nipples.
"Gray!" Natsu shouted, thrashing around beneath him.
Gray lifted himself up and stared down at Natsu. "You okay?" he questioned, running his hand through the other mage's hair.
Natsu nodded. "Yeah," he panted. "I'm good. I'm hard."
Gray smirked and ground down a little on the bulge poking into his behind. "I'd noticed," he replied. "Do you want me to do something about it?"
At this remark, Natsu looked uncomfortable. "I don't know how much I'll be able to handle," he whispered quietly.
Gray leaned down and gave him a gentle peck on the lips. "What do you think?" he murmured. "Do you want me to give you a hand job or a blow job?"
"I-I don't know," Natsu stammered. "Not a blow job. I-I never liked it when that tiny girl did them."
Gray stiffened, but decided it best not to comment. "Okay," he said. "Do you want me to try jacking you off?"
Natsu squirmed underneath him. "You can try, but…I don't know if I'll like it," he replied.
"Well, let's give it a shot," Gray returned shifting a little so he was sitting right above Natsu's knees. He yanked the fire mage's pants and boxers halfway down his thighs, freeing his erection. Gray licked his lips at the sight. Natsu was big. Not as long as himself, but thicker. And the bulging vein that ran up the swollen and red cock looked downright tantalizing to Gray. He wanted to trace it with his tongue, but knew he wouldn't be allowed to tonight.
Carefully, he traced up the thick shaft with one finger, going slow so Natsu could think about whether he could go through with this or not. When Natsu didn't protest the action Gray wrapped his hand loosely around his cock and twisted his wrist and pulled up until his palm covered the head. He paid attention to Natsu's breathing. It was fast and a little shaky, but he didn't sound panicked. Taking that as a good sign he shifted his hand back down again, back to the base and squeezed slightly.
"Gray," Natsu half-moaned.
Gray looked up at the fire mage and frowned. There was the smallest flicker of fear in Natsu's eyes. He loosened his grip. "No good?" he asked.
"I-I don't know," Natsu replied looking away. "It feels good, but…if I look away I start to remember their hands on me."
"Do you want me to stop?" Gray asked. He waited for a moment before Natsu finally nodded his head.
"I'm sorry," Natsu whispered.
"Hey, none of that," Gray said moving back up so he could kiss the fire mage. "Don't apologize to me for that. If it's no good, it's no good."
"But I want you to do it, I just can't stop myself from remembering…"
"I know," Gray assured him. "One day you'll be able to but I'm not surprised that day isn't today."
"I want to get off though," Natsu grumbled a little petulantly. "I'm so hard it hurts."
"Yeah, I'm facing a similar situation," Gray chuckled. "I have an idea. Do you want to go along with it?"
"What is it?" Natsu asked.
"Ditch the rest of your clothes," Gray ordered and went to go pull his shirt off but discovered he'd already lost it at some point.
"How do you not notice?" Natsu asked shucking off his pants.
Gray shrugged. "Just a habit," he replied as they both got naked. "Alright, lie back on the bed."
"What are we doing?" Natsu asked, a little nervous.
"Frotting," Gray answered quickly, climbing back over Natsu.
Natsu raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?" he questioned.
"Do you have any objections?" Gray replied.
"I could have just done that into my pillow," Natsu grumbled.
"I'm better than a pillow," Gray told him and then leaned down to kiss him while simultaneously rubbing up against the dragon slayer's hip. Natsu gasped and Gray smirked and he raised his head up from the kiss. "See?"
"A little less talking and a little more frotting please," Natsu urged, raising his hips to drag his own cock along Gray's stomach.
"So demanding," Gray teased, but latched his lips back onto Natsu's and this time carefully arranged himself so that when he rubbed up against Natsu, their cocks brushed. They both moaned. Gray repeated the action, enjoying the feel of Natsu's cock against his. Despite the fact that they'd always been complete opposites, it was nice to see there was one way they matched up perfectly. As Gray continued to rut against the fire mage he grew increasingly hard, and soon both of their precum was working its way between them so their cocks slid more easily together.
Their kisses grew sloppy as they both came closer to release and Gray finally abandoned Natsu's mouth to suck and bite across Natsu's neck before finally clamping his teeth down hard on Natsu's collarbone and pinching hard on a nipple. Natsu went rigid underneath him and cried out as he came. Gray groaned at the feeling of Natsu's hot cum on his stomach and cock and after a few more sloppy thrusts he came himself. He fell down on top of Natsu and panted into the fire mage's sweat slicked skin, pressing damp, open mouth kisses to his neck and shoulder.
"Gray?" Natsu murmured sleepily.
"Mm?" Gray hummed.
"You're squishing me," Natsu said.
"Deal with it," Gray replied, but forced himself to find the strength to push himself up on his knees. He looked down at Natsu in concern. The fire mage looked sated and content, but still, he knew there was a chance Natsu could be freaking out. "You okay?"
"Yeah," Natsu replied, smiling up at him. "I'm good."
Gray smiled and leaned down and gave the fire mage a quick kiss. "We should clean up," he sighed.
"Don't wanna," Natsu slurred, closing his eyes.
"You wanna wake up covered in dry cum?" Gray questioned.
"If it's your cum," Natsu murmured.
"Christ!" Gray hissed, Natsu's words somehow causing his spent cock to try and jump back to life again. "If you don't want me to ravage you don't say such sexy things to me."
"Night, Gray," Natsu replied. Gray shook his head as he watched the fire mage's chest rise and fall slowly, his breathing evening out. He thought about getting up and finding a washcloth to clean them both off with, but finally just fell onto his side next to Natsu. It could wait until morning. Yawning, he threw an arm around the fire mage, and fell asleep.
Just be warned for the next chapter. It's dark. Very, very dark. Some of you will find it disturbing and may not be able to read it depending on whether it's something you're comfortable with. I wanted to warn you all rather than spring it on you. I know it's mean of me to be telling you this since it'll be a while before another update but I'd feel guilty not warning you. There will be no fluff or anything cute about the next chapter.
