A/n: Now here is the fourth chapter...hmn...what will Natsu's friends think? And also at the bottom is what will lead into the next chapter. This story will have preverted things, 'toys' as my friend put it, and some other things you could say are out there, but that will not be too much really. I was asked by a good friend of mine to do so...so...yeah. It wont be often, but I wanted to add in something, which would be Gray having another...personality kind of, and the sadistic type was the most popular in choice. Also please remember to vote on the pole on my page.

Don't Hold Your Breath 04

I Love A Playboy

Laxus Dreyer, a teen that is older than the average one in his grade, being held back for one year after he was in a fight. He is the 'bully' of the school to many, but he really isn't. He once beat up a whole gang because he was attacked by them. His father is the principal of his school and his grandfather writes a book known as Fairy Tail. This book is one of the best sellers in his area, no one doesn't know about the books. He is a good student, but also a great fighter. His mother died when he was young and he never got to know her. He is best friends with Lucy, Natsu, and Loki, his best friends since he was a young boy...

Gray picked Natsu up slowly, cradling him in his arms some. Natsu was in his boxers now, Gray had dressed that part of him before he planned to open the door...because he was certain he knew who was on the other side of the door. He lightly set Natsu down on the couch and kissed him softly. He took a breath then and headed over to the door. Slowly he began to open the door. He was swiftly greeted by a punch to the face, in which he ducked.

"You bastard!" Laxus yelled and slammed his fist into Gray's chest this time. Gray coughed and fell back, wincing. He looked up at the other, glaring at him. "You damn bastard how dare you hurt Natsu!" He yelled at him, and that left a sigh for Gray.

"Hmn..." Gray mumbled. "I hurt Natsu." He repeated then and glared at Laxus. "Why in the world would I hurt Natsu?" He asked him, growling some. "I would never dare harm him Laxus." He stood up, whipping blood from his mouth some. "Now, would you care to leave us alone?"

"No you jerk!" Lucy shouted at him then, putting her hands on her hips. "You hurt too many people for your own good already you know! If you think we will trust you around Natsu, you have another thing coming! More so when your shirtless!" She snapped and Gray blushed, looking down at his chest, he hadn't exactly noticed that he had forgotten his shirt. He cursed in his mind, shaking his head some.

"Listen, Lu...I made mistakes yeah...but I won't make those mistakes again, I can say that for sure." Gray replied, glaring at one of his other ex's. He took a breath then, but he wasn't to sure at all if he could stop his old ways. He wanted to, for Natsu.

"And how do we know that?" Laxus grabbed Gray's hair and growled at the latter boy. "How do we know that you wont hurt Natsu? How can we be sure of that, huh?" He was clearly about ready to snap someone's head off, that was seen from a clear look of annoyance laying in the eyes of the blonde.

"Laxus..." A voice snapped Laxus's head over to the couch, where his eyes settled upon Natsu...the latter was looking hurt, his shirt missing but...well, he looked fine. He blinked some at Natsu who then frowned. "He...hasn't done anything against my will..." He murmured. "Stop worrying so much about me...I hate it..."

"You never friekn tell us anything!" Laxus snapped at him. "More so about those damned scars!" It was only then Natsu realized that they were seeing his scars. His eyes widened but out of instinct Gray pulled him close. "You didn't tell us that he was abusing you! You never told us any damned thing!"

"H-how-"

"My father found your phone...we found numerous texts and threatening voice mails in the damned thing!" Laxus snapped and Natsu swallowed. He moved his hands to grip Gray's hands. He took a breath and then shook his head some.

"L-laxus...I-I had a good reason." He whispered and glanced at Loki and Lucy. Both were wearing sadden looks on they're faces and he felt a pain in his heart. He hated seeing them so upset..."...if he would have found out..." Natsu paused. "I...he might have killed me..." He shook a bit.

"Easy now Natsu." Gray murmured into the smaller ones' ear. Slowly, Natsu's eyes closed, relaxing into the grip of the other. "It's going to be alright..." A soft hand touched Natsu's cheek for a moment. "It's alright, it's alright..." Soothing voice, a very soothing voice.

"Natsu…is that why you dare be so…welcoming to a playboy that crushes hearts in a heartbeat?" Lucy asked, well more so yelled at him. "I…I…how could you?" She shook her head.

"Lucy…wrong…I…I was maybe an idiot trying to keep back feelings that were always there. I really have fallen for him…I-I have…" He shook his head and looked up at Gray. He smiled softly at the older one. "I do love him." There was no hesitation in his words, and he didn't regret them either. "You maybe don't think much of him at all, but I do. I really do, don't accuse him of doing anything..."

"What will you tell Lisanna then?" Loki asked, frowning some. He gripped Lucy's hand some as she was looking really upset. She loved Natsu, and he knew it, so this had to be hard for her to see her best friend now going out with a man that broke her own heart.

Natsu also seemed to be affected by that question. You could see the sudden look of panic laying on his face. He swallowed and then took a breath. "I..." He paused then shook his head some. He took a breath and gripped Gray's hands tighter. Gods, he didn't want to have to think about this question at all. Not to think about Lisanna...Not to think about meeting her in Middle School, 6th grade if he remembered correctly.

"Natsu." A voice murmured softly. I looked up and smiled at her, she was a girl in my math, science, and social studies class.

"Yes, Lisanna?" I asked her and she sat down next to me, that amazing smile was shinning on her face as she looked at me. She gripped my hand and I blushed some. "Lisanna?" I murmured and she took a breath while gazing at me. She was prefecture, I admit it, she was perfect, or she tried to at anything...everything.

"Natsu, well...I wanted to ask you about something!" Her face brightened and she gripped my hand tighter. "I wanted to know, would you be my Boyfriend?" She about yelled and I blushed deeply. I took a breath then nodded...She hugged me and I hugged back, gripping her tightly. I was so amazed.

Yeah, he had meet her like that, and that simple question had blossomed into a relastionship that he had enjoyed all throught middle school with a...few ups and downs. But now, it was all coming to an end here and now. He was agreeing to be with Gray, but then, where did Lisanna now stand? His ex? Or...something else? He didn't know...and he didn't like the thought of it either. Oh well, he would soon enough figure it out when he decided to talk to her about this whole thing.

"I'll figure it out." He replied and smiled then. Yes, he would soon figure it out. The three seemed to pause before they sighed and nodded some, right...that of course would be the answer Natsu would give them.

"Alright...but are you really sure about...him?" Laxus asked and crossed his arms. Natsu heaved a sigh, right, Laxus of course wouldn't dream about agreeing with Natsu and...Gray...the school player. Of all people of course, no wonder Laxus was not happy with him. "Hmph, then again he dare harm you and I will defiantly beat him black and-" Natsu's eyes widened and Laxus stopped. He swallowed. "Uh...right you get the idea." Be more carefull around Natsu...no threats until his nerves are not so up there. "Ahem anywho...uh...where are you going to be staying now then?" He crossed his arms.

"Here." Gray replied before Natsu could speak. Lucy glared at him and growled, she wanted Natsu's answer, not idiot Gray's answer.

"L-Lucy...I already agreed!" Natsu said quickly and gripped Gray's hands tighter. "I think it's better than home and all of you guys live near him..." He shivered some and that earned a few nods.

"But...Natsu...why not an apartment or something?" Lucy murmured and Natsu groaned. She was more against this than Laxus was, wasn't she? "I mean, it's much better right?" She laughed nervously. Natsu shook his head.

"Lu...I don't want to go to a place where I am all alone, I want to stay here." He murmured and she clenched her fists, about to retaliate when Natsu said. "It's final Lu! I'm staying here so deal with it! I can take care of myself!" He then smiled some. Gray smiled as well, and then, ignoring the looks of the others, kissed Natsu. Natsu blushed at this action but he began to kiss back as well. I'm in love with the school playboy...and I couldn't have it any other way.

Gray heaved a sigh as he heard the doorbell for the third time that day. He sat up, glancing at the time. 4:30pm. He blinked, him and Natsu had pretty much slept the day away, and skipped school at that, then again Laxus said for the next week they didn't have to attend...for emotional reasons for Natsu. He got up and dressed as he headed down the stairs to see who in the world was here. He opened the door and looked around, no one was here. He sighed then glanced down, a box. He raised a brow and picked it up, carrying it into the kitchen. "Hmn." He hummed some as he put it onto the counter and opened it. He looked at a note that caught his eye and read it.

"Dear Gray,

I don't have any idea why, but appearantly I was sent this to send you. I didn't look! I swear! I have no idea what is in here, all I did was put in this note. I don't know who sent it to me either...just be careful kay? I pray it's no bomb or somethin' ya know. Also, it couldn't hurt to give me a call at some point ya know? Just because I am in another class than you, dosen't mean that you can't talk to me! Hope you find someone soon too! ;P

-Lyon."

Gray sighed, it allways appeared that anything for him ended up at Lyon's. Why? He had no idea, but it didn't bother him to much anymore. He took a breath before clearing the packing peanuts on the top and then blushed. What. The. Hell. Why would someone send him such things? It scared him, really scared, that some part inside of him liked what he was seeing...He uncounssiously licked his lips and took a breath. Oh...now he was going to have to use this things, and make Natsu...the first one he happened to use them on. He took a deep breath and then smirked some. Yes, perfect. So perfect, Natsu would be all his to use...Ah, now that was also scaring him, how dare he think about that, think about doing such things to Natsu...but oh god...he got hard just thinking about it. Gods, he needed to do something, get rid of these things or something...before the other side of him seemed to do such things to Natsu...
