The second part to my two-shots. Natsu is so cute as an Uke. I shall leave it open-ended. Tell me what you think? Please read & review.

I had dropped some hints about Juvia's background I'm only touching in S4 in 'The Variation of Destiny'. Can anyone guess her husband's identity? It is not an OC or maybe is he? :P


Part 2

This day, Gray and two of his best friends, Lyon Bastia and Juvia Lockser had arrived on an ancient ruin for a certain mission. They came in search of a treasure, "The Quartz of Bliss".

"Juvia, I will be able to give you happiness when I find it." Lyon declared. Juvia found herself hot on her face. "No, we can't. I…" Juvia placed both of her hands on her cheek in embarrassment.

"Hubby, what should I do?" Juvia had the image of her husband came into the view but she shook her head vigorously. "Not this one!" She thought of someone with the same face as her husband and sweat dropped. She got the wrong person in mind. "He wouldn't be of help. I'm glad I gave him to Lucy-san." Her face turned blue at the thought of her husband performing unison raid with him like Lucy & Gemini who turned into Lucy. Her imagination had run wild.

"Hey, both of you! We are not here to play; we have important things to do!" Gray yelled in frustration. He was getting impatient. He needed to find the treasure for his "wife", for Natsu's sake.

"Natsu, don't you worry, I will find the treasure and heal you." He recalled the incident with Sugar Boy the past week. Sugar Boy decided to leave the pair alone after seeing the anger from his eyes and look for Gray again later.

*Flashback*

Gray had a hard time seeking help for Natsu who had rammed his head against a rock due to Sugar Boy's surprise attack. Natsu had been bleeding heavily. He carried him home, frantically searching for his first-aid kit to stop his bleeding. His heart lurched when he noticed the bandages were dyed red as soon as he wrapped them around his head. Natsu was in cold sweat and his temperature dropped drastically. His breathing was getting ragged and his heartbeat was getting weaker as time ticked by. Gray watched in shock when Natsu started to vomit blood.

"Natsu, hang in there, you will be alright." Gray cleaned off the blood from his mouth. What should he do? There was no hospital around. Moving Natsu now was not a good idea unless some form of first aid could be done.

He was lucky that a healer of their village happened to pass by their house on his way home to check on Natsu who was often weak on his health due to the loss of his magic power. He was really shocked to see what had happened to him. The healer quickly stopped his bleeding and stitched his wound. He suggested Gray to take Natsu to the nearby hospital as soon as possible as not only Natsu had a serious head concussion, he suffered from internal injuries after being hit repeatedly by some form of a heavy and gigantic force on his torso. Some of his ribs are cracked. His life was hanging by a thread.

"Sugar Boy...!" Gray realised that it was Sugar Boy's slime which could have caused that kind injuries to Natsu and was really furious. He did not realise how badly his Natsu was hurt. If only he was there with Natsu so that he could protect him.

Gray took his advice and sent Natsu to the hospital half a day distance from where they were staying so that he could have proper treatment. He blamed himself for living in seclusion and was not able to seek medical help as easily as if they were staying in Magnolia where Wendy was around. They had been living together happily. Why this had to happen? He gritted his teeth in fury. He was really caught in surprise. To think Sugar Boy had such affection to him and in turn he got Natsu in trouble.

Sitting by Natsu's bed, he frowned in worries. His head, his body and his arms was wrapped with bandages. Natsu was hooked up to many machines with many tubes attached on his arms. He could see the rising and falling of his chest and the fogging of the oxygen mask over Natsu's mouth when he breathed from it. The heart monitor was beeping away indicating that he was still alive. He brushed his pink hair which covered his eyes. He looked so pale and fragile to him.

The doctor told him that Natsu had fell into coma and no one knew when he would wake up and if he would ever wake up. It was all up to Natsu. The doctor encouraged Gray to keep talking to him as this would stimulate him and might help in waking him up.

"Natsu, wake up soon." Gray stood up and kissed his forehead. It was his fault that he was unable to protect him. His line of thought was broken by the opening of the door.

It was Juvia and Lyon. He had contacted them who happened to be on mission nearby around a week after he arrived at the city.

"Don't worry, Gray-sama. Natsu-san will be fine with your devotion to him." Juvia placed her hand gently on his shoulder consoling him. Lyon shook his head. He did not expect things to turn out this way. Gray and Natsu were leading a blissful life for seven years. Gray wanted to give Natsu's happiness so they decided to move away, move away to somewhere nobody could mess with them.

"Flame brain is something else. I heard from the healer. He survived despite the lack of medical attention and heavy loss of blood for quite some time isn't it? Other people would have died. I believe he will wake up." Lyon placed his hand on the other side of his shoulder. He lowered himself by his side, whispering to him.

"Juvia and I are on a mission to retrieve a "The Quartz of Bliss". It was said that whoever had their hands on the treasure would be able to grant happiness to the person he loves. I intended to give it to Juvia but as your senior I will give you concession. I believe I can win her heart even without it but for you to wake Natsu up, this may help." Lyon offered his assistance. Gray looked at him gratefully.

*End of Flashback*

And so, the trio ended up at the entrance of the ruin where the treasure was said to be hidden. The trio were smart enough to be able to solve the puzzles set all over the routes. However, they were ambushed eventually. Lyon and Juvia were caught in the large mucus which Juvia was disgusted of while Gray managed to dodge it on time.

"Hold on, I will get both of you out." Gray proceeded to use his magic on them but it did not seem to be working. He just knew who was behind this.

"Sugar Boy! Just show yourself!" Gray shouted. Sugar Boy walked out. He was beaming in confidence. He was confident that he would win his love once he got his hands on the treasure, "The Quartz of Bliss". He had been waiting for somebody else to solve the puzzles and snatch the treasure from them. He did not expect Gray to be part of the search team. That would really help him. He could use the treasure on him immediately upon obtaining it.

With that, Sugar Boy skidded off with his Hound Dog. "Will you come after me?"

"Wait!" Gray clenched his fist. He needed the treasure to save Natsu.

"Go ahead, Gray. We will be alright. Natsu is waiting for you. Go and get the treasure!" Gray turned to Lyon and nodded in reluctance. "I know. You guys be careful."

"I will win your love once I get the treasure!" Sugar Boy sang while he was skidding on the way. Gray ran after Sugar Boy who was right ahead in full speed in opposite direction. Gray had decided that he needed to defeat Sugar Boy once again. They found each other when they reached the end of their paths. Each of them caught hold of a cube and clashed them together where they landed on the empty slot on their path to complete the last piece of puzzle. Bright light was connected around the path and the hidden treasure showed itself.

"Wonderful!" Sugar Boy sang.

"I can't let you have it!" Gray declared and he stripped. Sugar Boy blushed. His heart was thumping hard.

"Here it comes!" He exclaimed as he imagined Gray telling him, "I'm all fired up." with a sweet and gentle expression. Gray was turned off. "What kind of fantasies are you having now?" He muttered and was getting tired of him.

"I have been caught off guard. How could you? My heart was throbbing very fast." Sugar Boy blushed. He danced as he summoned his Hound Dogs. Lump of mucus appeared growing in size. He created a path to reach the treasure. Gray of course would not let him have it. He created another path in ice.

Both caught on the treasure at the same time and the tug-of-war between them started again.

"It's mine, let go!" Gray shouted.

"I will give it to you after I become the owner of it. I'm Seme you know. Seme is supposed to have it and give it to his Uke." Sugar Boy explained his logic.

"You better let go, or else…"

"I will fall in love with you." Sugar Boy fantasised Gray confessing his love to him. "YES! I LOVE YOU TOO!" He replied in excitement.

"What are you talking about?!" Gray retorted in panic. "I don't love guys. No! My cute wife Natsu is an exception! "

"Is your heart so cold that you can't accept my love to you? If that it's the case, I shall deliver my hot feeling to you directly." With that, Sugar Boy summoned his Hound Dogs in fire mode and caught Gray unaware within it.

"This is hot!" Gray realised his mucus was actually scalding hot.

"Spicy right? You see I'm smart enough to absorb the property of fire from Natsu-kun. I guess he is pretty cute too. No wonder you fell for him." Sugar Boy commented.

Gray was pissed off at his mentioning of Natsu's name. He recalled Natsu's smiling in happiness when Gray proposed to him kneeling down topless by his hospital bed with a ribbon tied around his neck holding with a ring after he was rescued from the clutches of Kingdom Empire.

His Natsu was fighting for his life now because of him.

"This is nothing as compared to the heat from my Natsu. He is now reduced to a half-dead state because of you. Because of that, I will not lose to the likes of you, I will defeat you for his sake!" He prepared to release his next attack.

"I love your expression. Come on! Ice Boy! I will give my heart to you!" Sugar Boy sensed an incoming attack and he dodged on time. It was someone who used the same magic as his dear Ice Boy. Lyon and Juvia who had broken free from the mucus arrived on scene.

"Gray, are you taking the Uke route? Get it together. We are supposed to be the Seme! Don't embarrass us. You can't take it. Ur will be crying from her grave if she heard that you had fallen into Uke mode." Lyon commented sarcastically.

"What nonsense! I have yet to give my all! I'm Seme and always a Seme!" Gray froze the mucus and break out of it. Creating an ice path raising himself high up, he would finish Sugar Boy now.

"Gray-sama, we will lend you our hands!" Juvia readied herself with her magic.

"Gray, we will defend your pride as a Seme!" Lyon declared.

"I will make you regret of ever hurting my Natsu." Gray fired his ice arrow at Sugar Boy.

"Oh... beautiful! This is the cupid arrow from my Ice Boy!" Sugar Boy blushed admiring Gray's beauty. He gladly took the hit of love.

"I'm taking this." Gray carried the "The Quartz of Bliss" on his shoulder as Sugar Boy fell to the ground from the combined attack of the trio.

"And so you are taking along my heart?" Sugar Boy requested before he went out cold.

Gray froze at his words.

"DISGUSTING!"


Gray used the power of the "The Quartz of Bliss" on his "sleeping beauty". Natsu stirred as he slowly awaken from his deep slumber from the effect of the magic.

"Natsu?" Gray called his name gently brushing through his hair.

Natsu looked at the man in confusion. He removed the oxygen mask over his mouth as he tried to speak.

"Who… who are you?" Natsu managed to get his words out.

Gray froze at his words.

"It was said that whoever had their hands on the treasure would be able to grant happiness to the person he loves."

Was that the kind of happiness he granted to his Natsu?
