3. Wrestle
It was just a normal day in magnolia, everyone was out walking around the market place or they were taking strolls in the park. However Gray was far from having a normal day, he was sick. How does an ice mage get sick you ask? Well this ice mage just so happened to be the one Natsu Dragneel went to for a taste tester. Why had he agreed is because the said pink haired teen just so happened to beg and secretly Gray had a bit of a crush on Natsu. Although he would have said no if he had been smart enough to realize there was a possibility of getting a touch of food poisoning. The ice mage mentally kicked himself for not taking that into consideration.
And speak of the devil said fire mage walked into Grays little apartment.
"Gray...I'm so sorry...I shouldn't have cooked anything..."
Gray was currently leaning over his toilet hurling. "go...hurggh, away!"
Natsu did no such thing. He walked into the bathroom and knelt down beside the ice mage. "no this is my fault and I'd like to help you get better" he then proceeded to rub unidentifiable shapes against Grays back
Gray wouldn't admit it but he loved that small gesture.
Natsu continued doing this until Gray felt well enough to stand, he had even brought the raven a cold cloth and placed it against his forehead. Gray wouldn't admit it but Natsu actually helped a little and once he had nothing left to throw up he felt even better.
"you feel any better?" Natsu had a little bit of concern visible on his face.
The ice mage had to turn away to hide a small blush "I feel fine you stupid pyro. "
"good to know!" Natsu had exclaimed rather loudly causing Gray to look at him as he flashed his usual grin even if he wasn't sure.
Gray couldn't help but smile a little at the dragon slayer but hid it behind a glare as Natsu sat down on his couch
"why are you still here?"
"i'm gunna stay here till I know for sure that you are okay!" he sent Gray a look of dead seriousness but that soon faded to a look of disgust "you need to brush your teeth and maybe use a little mouthwash, your breath reeks!"
The raven's glare intensified as he grumbled his way to the bathroom again.
When he came back out he found the fire mage asleep on his couch! He poked him, that didn't work. he tried to shake him awake but that didn't work either. When nothing seemed to working he decided to have some fun. he grabbed a black marker and drew whiskers and racoon eyes on the pinkette's face. He chuckled to himself when he finished and went to the kitchen to get himself something to drink.
Natsu woke up an half an hour later, he got up and made his way to the ice mages bathroom. He took one look in the mirror and growled, Gray had made his way back to the couch by the time Natsu seen his face.
Natsu washed the marker off then stomped out to Gray "stupid stripper! Why'd you draw on my face!?"
"cause I felt like it ya flame head"
And that was when Natsu tackled the ice mage to the couch. Gray rolled and pushed the fire mage to the other side of the couch. Natsu was quick to jump at Gray once again, they wrestled each other until Natsu toppled off the couch due to Gray pushing him, he ended up hitting his head off the corner of Gray's coffee table and blacked out for a nice few minutes.
The raven panicked and jumped down next to him but before he could do anything natsu shot up and groaned.
"Geez flame head give me a heart attack next time!" Gray let out a sigh he didn't know he was holding.
"My head really hurts!" he put his hands on the back of his head and Gray saw them shaking. He told himself that Natsu probably feels a little shook up at the moment. Anyone would after hitting their head hard enough to black out.
"Graaayy can you kiss it better? It's you're fault!" whined the dragon slayer.
The ice mages face probably turned to the color of Erza's hair right now. "w-what?"
Natsu didn't say anything he just leaned against Gray.
Gray looked down at him and took in a breath before he leaned down to place a kiss on the same spot Natsu hit against the coffee table. Natsu just leaned against the ice mage further which caused Gray to go stiff, the fire mage sighed "Gray...I think I like you...and I don't mean just as friends..."
The ice mage probably turned even redder if that was even possible "I like you too idiot"
"I know, why else would you have kissed my injured head" he chuckled
"you're right I should have pushed you away like this" he shoved the dragon slayer against the ground then leaned down to capture his lips with his own.
Natsu was shocked for a split second but soon melted into the kiss, returning it. He cupped Grays face as they pulled apart.
"I really like you, you stupid popsicle" a smirk played on his lips
"I love you, ash for brains"
Now it was Natsu's turn to turn red.
