Look I wrote the entire story all at once, instead of having stupidly long gaps between chapters like I normally do! Here's chapter 2!
Chapter 2: Only One Bed
The two boys woke up to the conductor shaking them awake.
"Excuse me, this is your stop, right?"
Gray opened his eyes groggily. The train had stopped moving. He felt a pressure on his arm and saw that Natsu was still pressed into his side, snuggling his cheek against Gray's arm.
"Oi! Natsu! It's time to wake up." Natsu mumbled something and pressed himself a little closer against Gray. Gray blushed and sighed. He got up and picked the dragon slayer up, letting him lean on his back like the night before. He heard Natsu sigh in contentment. Gray smiled. "Sorry about that. We're getting off now." He said to the conductor. The conductor just grunted, apparently fed up with his passengers.
Once off the train, Gray sat Natsu down on a bench and collected his bag. Apparently Natsu didn't bring anything.
"Nnnn…" Natsu mumbled and Gray looked over at the boy as he started to wake up.
"Hey, sleeping beauty. Glad you woke up. I really don't want to carry your heavy ass anymore." Gray said, though he didn't actually mind.
Natsu blushed. "Well you should have woken me up if I was that much of an inconvenience!"
"Don't you think I tried? I take it back. You put sleeping beauty to shame. A bomb could have gone off and you still probably would have slept through it." Gray said with a smirk.
Natsu looked down. The truth was that he was so relaxed sleeping against Gray that he was farther in dream land than he thought. It was just too pleasant.
"Don't you have a mission or something?" Natsu asked, trying to change the subject.
"Hmm? Oh yeah. This town is having their annual masquerade festival in order to pray for good health and prosperity for the next year. Apparently there's this guy who's created a big fuss by leaving a bunch of warnings that he's going to set off a bunch of explosions. The town's people aren't taking it seriously, but some of the higher ups are worried, and so I'm here."
"Why would he advertise causing a crime though?" Natsu asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You know; for attention, because he wants to make a fuss, because he wants to put on a show, because he's crazy. The usual reasons."
"Sounds like a real nut-job if you ask me." Natsu looked back at the train and went a little green when he thought about the trip home. He decided he would wait until Gray was done with his mission to go home. "Mind if I tag along until you're done?" He asked, standing up and giving a nice stretch.
Gray sighed. "You're going to follow me no matter what, because you just don't want to go back on the train without your cold compress."
"Yeah, so what? The festivals a pretty big thing right? You could probably use an extra set of eyes." Natsu shot back.
Damn it. The flame-brain has a point. Gray thought as his shoulders slumped in defeat.
Natsu gave a wide smile. "Great, now let's go drop your bags off!"
Gray face-palmed at Natsu's carefree attitude. Only a little while ago, he was embarrassed and anxious because he thought Gray knew his secret. Now he was chipper as ever.

When they got to the hotel that Gray was staying at, Natsu realized a big problem.
"There's only one bed…" Natsu mumbled. He thought about the checking to see if the hotel had another room, or if they had a room with two beds available, even if some part of him screamed that he might never get this chance again. This chance to sleep in the same bed as Gray. Sure, they had slept side by side on missions before, but that wasn't the same thing as actually sharing a BED! He could feel himself become a little excited.
"Yeah. If you want, I can sleep on the floor. I don't mind. Sleeping on the ground is kind of common on missions anyway." Gray set his bags down. He turned around and saw Natsu's shoulders slouch. Maybe he wanted to sleep next to me. He had to think of a way to save the situation. "On second thought, you sleep on the ground. I paid for this room and you're not even supposed to be here."
As Gray expected, Natsu put on the defense. "Stop being so cheap. Here, I'll pay half for the room so now we both get the bed." Natsu threw the money down and turned away, but Gray could faintly see the blushing of Natsu's ears.
How did I never notice how he felt about me? Am I blind? Gray made a mental note to get his eyesight checked when they returned home.
"Fine. Now that that's settled, let's go do some shopping. We're going to need some things for this mission."

Once in town, they found an awful lot of street vendors open, selling masques and costumes by the dozen as people got ready for the festival.
"So, is this festival tonight? Is that why all these vendors are here?" Natsu asked, as he picked up a mask that was supposed to look like a dragon, though it was a little on the cute side, so it didn't resemble a dragon at all. Natsu laughed quietly to himself as he thought about what Igneal would do if he saw such a mask. Probably burn it so bad not even ashes were left for messing with the pride of a dragon.
"No, it's in two days from now. It's actually an all-day thing but the guy we're looking for kept saying he wasn't going to attack until after sunset." Gray smiled at Natsu while he goofed off with the mask and blew fire. Gray went up to the shopkeeper who was trying to stop Natsu from burning his merchandise and handed him the cash. He mumbled, "This is for the dragon mask on the little dragon over there." The shopkeeper bowed and gave his thanks.
Natsu was about to put the mask back when Gray stopped him. "Keep it. It's yours now." Gray pointed over to the shopkeeper who was counting the cash Gray gave to him.
Natsu blushed, but yelled out. "I'm not a charity, you know!"
Gray blinked. "Yeah, I know, but sometimes I feel like doing something nice for my friends."
Natsu looked at him shocked and turned around. "Whatever. Let's just get what you need to get and go."
Gray sighed. Guess he isn't used to me being nice to him. Then he looked at the crimson, but confused look on Natsu's face as he tried to hide his blush. But if I was always nice, maybe then I wouldn't get to see this face. It's not such a waste. Still, Gray wanted to spoil him.
"Gray?" Natsu asked, still not looking at him.
"Hmm. What is it?"
"Thanks." Then Natsu ran over to the nearest food vendor and ordered one of everything with a big smile on his face.
Again, so quick to recover… Gray sighed.
By the end of the day, Gray had equipped himself with a plain mask for the festival. Natsu decided to wear a male yukata for the occasion, and insisted that Gray should wear one too, so Natsu found himself a dark molten red one and picked out a dark navy blue one with tiny snowflake patterns on it. Gray had to smile when Natsu told him it worked perfect for Gray.
"Now you're an ice princess in a yukata!" Natsu laughed. Gray felt a vein pop.
"Stupid fire-head! You just picked this out so you could say that!"
"Yeah, maybe." Natsu laughed a little harder, but was cut off by a cool fist coming down on his spiky pink head.
"Ouch. Jeez what was that for?!" Natsu said while rubbed his head.
"Shut up. Let's just go back to the room."
Sigh "Fine."
On the way back, a thought that Natsu had been avoiding all day crept back into his mind. Tonight, they would have to share a bed.
Natsu hurried and had his shower first. He hoped the water would wash away all his feelings of uneasiness.
"Damn it. Maybe I shouldn't have said we could share a bed after all." Natsu muttered, looking down and seeing his half-stiff cock. He had gotten aroused just by thinking about sleeping with Gray.
Oh my god. I don't mean 'sleeping with Gray' as in having sex with him! Natsu felt a throb and groaned. He hesitantly brought a hand to his cock and started to pump. This wasn't something that Natsu did very often, but the older he got, the more he craved Gray. His body ached for Gray to touch him. It was almost unbearable.
He brought a finger to his ass and traced his own hole, until finally, he stuck the tip of the digit inside. He gasped quietly. The last thing he needed was to have Gray overhear him and tease him about masturbating in the shower later.
As if on cue, he heard a knock on the door, followed by Gray's voice. "Natsu? You've been in there for almost an hour. Hurry up!"
Natsu panicked and pulled out his finger. He whined a little at the absence of the pressure.
"Yeah! I'm coming out now!" He hollered back, a little upset that the real Gray had interrupted his fantasies of what his imaginary Gray was doing.
"Yeah you better or else I'm coming in! I'm getting tired of waiting Natsu!"
Natsu suppressed a groan from the tempting situation of Gray coming to join him in the shower.
Instead, he turned off the water and got dressed. He didn't have anything to wear to bed, so he just put his clothes back on.
Gray was waiting for him on the other side of the door with his arms crossed.
"Um. Sorry?"
"What took you so long? I have to get up early tomorrow and see if I can gather any information. I don't have time to wait for you." Gray shrugged past the pink-haired wizard.
"Sheesh, I'm out, see? You don't have to be so grumpy about it." Natsu sulked back to the bed and laid down on his side, facing away from Gray.
"You gonna sleep in your clothes? You seriously didn't pack anything? You can bother a pair of boxers or something, since I don't wear pjs, as long as you wash it later." Gray pointed to his bag that sat on the end of the bed.
Natsu sat up and looked at him. "You don't mind?"
"Nah, it's cool." And Gray gave a little smirk that Natsu could only describe as sexy as hell. Then he turned around and Natsu heard the door to the bathroom click shut.
It took a good minute before Natsu could bring his eyes away from where Gray's sexy little grin disappeared from, but once he did, he brought his attention to Gray's bag.
Everything inside was perfectly organized and folded. His pants and shirts, way more than any normal person would bring (probably in case he lost some while stripping), were tucked into neat piles. Maybe Gray was a neat freak.
Underneath, he found a pair of navy blue boxers. Natsu took them out and stared. Somehow, this situation was a major turn on for the dragon slayer.
Natsu wasn't one to hesitate, but his mind was feeling a little cloudy as he slowly took off his clothes. He stood in the middle of the room in his birthday suite, with nothing but his scarf hung loosely on his shoulders, holding out his partner's underwear.
Man, I must be a real weirdo. Getting turned on by something like this. Never the less, he slowly pulled the fabric up over his body. Blushing he walked over to the bed in a daze and laid down.
"I really am weird." He murmured and gaze a short laugh. Lifting the covers he flung himself under them. He could feel the weariness of the day start to envelop him and he closed his eyes.
About ten minutes later, Gray came out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. He looked at the sleeping Natsu, who had already managed to mess up the blankets and throw off a pillow in his sleeping state. It was adorable.
Gray ditched the towel and laid down next to the dragon slayer in nothing but his birthday suit. He really hated wearing clothes when he slept, so that was a part of the reason why he had asked to do this mission on his own. But he figured if it was Natsu, it would be alright. Heck, it might even make things interesting.
He lifted the covers and saw his rival wearing his boxers. The scene was so erotic, Gray groaned quietly at the sight. Man, I just want to tackle him right now! Gotta hold back.
He closed his eyes and turned out the light.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A few hours later, Natsu awoke to the feel of something cold pressed up against his leg. He looked around the room confused as to where he was. "Oh right. I'm on a mission with Gray…" He looked over and saw Gray laying on his stomach, with his head turned to face Natsu. His sleeping face was so peaceful, so different from the usual annoyed expression he usually had, that Natsu wanted to kiss it.
The cold thing pressed against Natsu was Gray's leg, pressed tightly against his own. Natsu looked under the blanket and nearly had a heart attack. Gray's bare ass lay visible against the white sheets.
Gray's body wasn't something that Natsu wasn't used to seeing, what with his stripping habit and all, but they were in the same BED, and Gray was NAKED, and Natsu was wearing Gray's BOXERS. Natsu let his head fall back against his pillow. Staring at the ceiling, he let his fantasies run wild. He dreamed of touching Gray, letting Gray touch him. He dreamed of what it would feel to have Gray wrap his love around him, to hold each other too tight against the other. To be able to say they were in love with each other and show each other off.
Natsu hesitantly brought a hand down to his member, and looked over at Gray. He let the tip of his finger run across the head and he gave a small gasp.
I shouldn't be doing this… Natsu thought as he let his hand roughly stroke the now burning erection. What if he wakes up? He gave a slightly harder stroke and took a sharp intake of breath. But it's so damn erotic, having him here.
Natsu reached over and pulled out a tissue out of the box that are always in every hotel room. Sliding the one piece of fabric down his legs, he began to add a little more vigor to his strokes. He tried to bite his lip to keep the moaning down, but he really couldn't help it, and he was feeling too good to stop.
…
Gray was having the strangest dream. In his dream, the dragon slayer had abandoned all of his pride, which immediately let Gray know that it was a dream, and was putting on a sexy show for him. Natsu was stroking himself, and fingering his hole, looking at Gray with pleading eyes. Gray could feel the ache down south, but the biggest turn-on was the sounds that Natsu was making. He sounded so lusty and erotic it was driving the ice wizard nuts. Gray reached a hand out to touch him, and just before his fingers reached his dragon, Natsu moaned out "Gray!"
Gray's eyes shot open.
He could feel the bed rocking slightly back and forth and waited for his eyes to adjust to the darkness of the room. What was Natsu doing?
Finally, he could make out the pink hair of the person beside him. Natsu moaned. Gray's eyes nearly bugged out of his head. Natsu's was lying there, stiff cock in hand, moaning like mad, gazing up at the ceiling with glazed eyes and a slight amount of drool at the corner of his mouth. Gray couldn't look away.
He slowly reached out a hand and lightly touched Natsu's shoulder. The body beneath his hand tensed up. Gray saw Natsu's face change expressions as he snapped back to reality. His head shot to the side with a burning blush across his face.
"G-Gray!" He stuttered. His mind raced as he tried to come up with an excuse.
Gray looked away, embarrassed at having watched the dragon slayer. "Feeling a little horny?"
"What! No! Umm… I mean… This is… Umm…" Natsu's head was spinning. Why now?!
Gray gave a little peek down at the pinkette's still throbbing member. "You're really turned-on right now, aren't you?"
Natsu pulled the blanket over his head. He wanted to disappear. "J-Just go back to sleep!" He yelled.
"As if I can when I know this is what you're doing!" Gray yelled back out of habit. He noticed Natsu's hands were shaking.
Gray sighed. Time to get rid of the tension. He sat up with his own erection now fully visible.
"Hey Natsu!" Gray ripped down the blankets, revealing the tears in Natsu's eyes that escaped out of the corner of the boy's eye when he blinked.
"What Gray! Can't you see the situation…" Then he saw what Gray's hard member that was standing at full attention. "Holy shit! Why are you horny?!"
"As if you're one to talk" Gray mumbled. "Well, I was hearing these really turned-on moans when I was sleeping and my body did a natural reaction. Now, I wonder whose fault that is?" Gray smirked.
Natsu blushed right down to his adam's apple.
Ha! Things got REALLY interesting. Gray thought, a tad smugly. "Well, we're both horny, and I'm not going to sleep like this. That's uncomfortable. And having another person horny in the bed with me is a little weird." He leaned in a little closer and saw Natsu's blush deepen as his body temperature rose, making the ice wizard sweat and his body glisten. Natsu gulped. "How about we just take care of this little problem now."
"What do you mean?" Natsu turned his head sideways in confusion.
Shit! He really is too cute! Gray bit his lip and continued.
"I'm saying, why don't we just jack off together?" Gray whispered. To Natsu, the way he said it was erotic, but in reality he was just embarrassed to be saying it out-loud.
"What!? That's crazy! W-We're not that c-close." Natsu stuttered. Trying to comprehend what had just happened all of a sudden.
"Think of it like a bonding experience between two friends." Gray smirked.
"What a screwed up friendship…" Natsu mumbled, a tear escaping the corner of his eye out of embarrassment from the situation.
"Yep. It sure is." Gray grabbed Natsu's member and gave it a light squeeze. Natsu gasped and arched his back. "You're rather sensitive, aren't you?"
"B-Bastard!" Natsu panted hard. He brought his hand out and took hold of Gray's member. Gray hissed at the burning touch.
They stroked the other as if it was one of their brawls. No holding back and aiming to come out on top. The two were losing their minds.
Gray smiled as he gave one particularly hard stroke made Natsu shoot out some pre-come. Natsu gasped. He wasn't going to last much longer.
"Hey. Want to try something different?" Gray asked. He was feeling really good right now. Those burning strokes from hands that shouldn't be as soft as they were had him thrusting him hips into the dragon slayers hand.
"Mmmmm… Is it going to be good?" Natsu's eyes were glazed. He was too lost in the moment to worry about his pride anymore.
"Oh yeah. It's gonna be great." Gray grabbed Natsu by the hips and sat him down on his own hips. Natsu's member pressed up against Gray's and Natsu cried out in pleasure.
Gray started to swing his hips letting the member rub roughly against his rivals. Natsu leaned forward and laid on Gray's stomach. He groaned as he swished his hips to let his need rub against the thing that he wanted most.
Natsu lay gasping into Gray's chest. Gray hesitantly grabbed Natsu's head in his hands and stroked his cheek. Natsu looked up with tears of ecstasy in his eyes. Natsu shifted his hips further back so that Gray's member was gliding along his entrance. Natsu mind was too clouded to think about what he was doing anymore.
"Natsu…" Gray groaned at the feeling of the hot ass and smoothed Natsu's hair back. He lightly pushed his head down and captured the dragon slayer's sweet lips in a kiss.
Natsu could feel his release coming. He tried to warn Gray, but Gray wouldn't let him escape the kiss. He groaned at the feel of Gray's cool muscle exploring Natsu's mouth.
Suddenly, Gray could feel the body he was holding tense up. Natsu released his pent-up load over Gray. Gray watched the sight with wide eyes. Natsu's body twitched and shook at the intensity of his orgasm. It was truly a sight to behold. Natsu collapsed onto Gray's stomach, drained and panting hard.
"Hey, you left me hanging!" Gray teased. Natsu looked up at him with lust glazed eyes. Gray gulped. The pinkette sat back and stared at Gray's erection. He perched himself on his elbows in front of it.
"Hey, what are you-" He was cut off by Natsu wrapping his hot lips around Gray's need. "Oh my god!" Gray threw his head back. Natsu was a pro. He hollowed out his cheeks to allow ultimate suction, and pressed the member to the roof of his mouth with his tongue, allowing the rough ridges to rub against it.
Gray nearly lost himself with Natsu eased the member further in, until he was completely engulfed in Natsu mouth. Natsu looked up at Gray, signalling him to move. Gray swallowed and gaze a slight thrust. Natsu winced a bit, but moaned.
He might be a masochist. Gray thought to himself. Still, he tried to be gentle, so as to not damage the dragon slayer's throat. Even so, it was still enough to drive the ice wizard crazy. Natsu groaned, sending vibrations down Gray's shaft and all the way down his spine.
"Jeez Natsu." He grabbed hold of his hair and guided the pink head while he tried to hold back his thrusts. "I think I'm-" Gray came down Natsu's throat, and Natsu's eyes widened as he instinctively swallowed.
Natsu released Gray's cock with a final suck on the tip. Gray stared unbelieving at the pinkette, who looked like he was out of his daze. He turned away from Gray and put his hands over his face.
"Holy shit. What did we just do?!" Natsu hollered.
"We had a little bit of bonding?" Gray said as innocently as he possibly could.
"That wasn't bonding! That's something that… that l-lovers do!" Natsu stuttered out. He curled up a little, trying to escape reality.
Gray wrapped an arm around Natsu and Natsu shuddered a little at the touch. Gray ignored it and pulled Natsu close. "We're not the only guys that have ever done that together. Besides, we didn't go all the way, just made each other feel good."
Maybe Natsu was in shock, or maybe he was still in a partial trance from his lust attack, but before he knew it, he asked "Do you want to go all the way with me?"
"Umm…" Gray was not expecting that. Of course he did! But… "You're not serious right?"
Natsu felt something like a weight press his heart, making it hard for him to breath. He felt tears escape his eyes in a silent waterfall. There was a moment of silence.
Gray seemed to realize that he could have worded what he wanted to say better. He was just trying to say that first, they weren't even a couple technically, though Gray was willing to change that, and second, that he didn't want Natsu to regret it in the morning.
He was about to say this when he heard Natsu give a small laugh, but it sounded like the pinkette was chocking. "Of course I'm not serious! Wow, am I ever tired. Thanks for the help! I'm going to sleep now, goodnight!" And then the room was quiet.
Gray blinked. "Yeah… Ok."
But Natsu's shaking shoulders from painful sobs continued well into the night. Gray realized his being there was painful for him and pressed his forehead up against the back of Natsu head and whispered, "I'm sorry Natsu." Then he grabbed his pillow and slept on the floor.
Review please! Let me know how you like it!
