The Cure

Chapter 6

OK, first off, sorry for taking so long to update! I know I hate when authors do it, but I have had so much going on. Between fixing my car, catching up on my book reviews (or rather trying to but failing miserably at it) and spending time with my hubby and daughter my life has been very hectic. I also managed to lose my notebook that I have all my stories written in. So again, I am so sorry! Hopefully this fic will be finished in the next week or so. I posted the first chapter for The Curse, so feel free to check it out:) Anyways, on with the fic!

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or any of the characters mentioned in it! *Cries like a baby*

Gray woke up the following morning, warm arms around him and a delicious heat building between his legs. He grabbed the arm slung low across his stomach and spread the slender fingers out, sliding it further down his body. He loved the feel of that hand on him as it glided over his smooth body, before finally reaching the swollen length nestled in a small mound of curls. He carefully moved it further, wrapping the other persons fingers around his length and slowly stroking it as he leaned back into Natsu.

Natsu stirred, there was something hard and cool in his hand. Something he hadn't felt in what seemed like forever. Opening his eyes he looked in front of him. Natsu admired the raven haired boy before him, still pretending to be asleep, as Gray used both of their hands to stroke himself. He moved forward, nuzzling the bare neck in front of him as he felt Gray quicken the pace.

Gray's breath hitched as he felt Natsu move behind him. He was pretty sure the pinkette was still asleep, so he continued his movements. He brought himself close, so close to climax, then stopped, wanting to share that moment with Natsu. He squealed when a warm breath sounded in his ear, and a hand wrapped tightly around his cock.

"Don't stop Gray, I was really enjoying touching you." Natsu whispered into his ear as he firmly stroked Gray, keeping him right on the edge.

"I wanted you to be awake." Gray replied with a slight pout. Natsu responded by rubbing himself along Gray's lower back and butt, which made Gray squirm.

"I'll gladly help anytime you want Gray." Natsu stroked him harder, making Gray moan loudly. He exploded quickly, feeling himself shoot into Natsus hand and cover them both in his seed. Natsu stroked him a few more times, emptying the remnants and delighting in the groans coming from his lover. When Natsu was sure Gray had gotten as much pleasure as he could endure, he released him and rolled him over, pulling the other boy tight against his chest.

"I have missed you so much Gray, more than words could ever describe. I never thought I would have you with me again. To be able to hold you in my arms...its like...heaven. Pure bliss. The most amazing feeling in the world." Natsu whispered, his voice breaking as tears gathered in his eyes. Gray looked up, staring deep into his lovers eyes. He breathed deep, enjoying their mixed scents, before he crushed his lips to the pinkettes in a deep kiss.

"I'll never leave again Natsu. I swear. I am here for as long as you will have me." He replied, showering his lover with small kisses all over his face and neck. The two clung to each other as they held back tears.

Gray thought back to the things that had brought him and Natsu together. The weird curse, the pain and suffering, the loss. He thought about all of it as he sat in the woods alone late one night. It had been almost a year since they had started officially dating. The guild knew, and surprisingly most were happy. He didn't know how every one would feel about this though. He was about to make a big decision. One that he knew would tear his world apart, as well as his lovers.

Gray had been over the options so many times it was like a thought on a constant loop in the back of his head every waking moment. He had received a letter a little over a week ago. When he read it, his world had started falling apart. His past was coming back to haunt him, in one of the worst ways, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. Gray thought back, almost two years had passed since the last time he had seen Lexi, now she was coming back. Just in time to ruin everything.

Flash Back:

Gray searched the bar, looking for the enchanting lady from the night before. After a while he gave up looking, until his eyes landed on an even more beautiful woman. He took his time, searching her body with his eyes before nudging Natsu and pointing to her.

Suddenly, the woman looked right at Gray. He swallowed at the lust simmering in her eyes, throwing back another shot as he kept eye contact. She smiled brightly, motioning him over as she turned back to her own group of friends. Gray noticed she was with another woman, and a man, so he brought his group over to match up. He ordered another round of drinks, and struck up a conversation.

"Hi, I'm Gray, that bone head over there is Natsu, and this is Lucy," he said nodding to each in turn. The woman smiled, then motioned to her own friends.

"I'm Lexi, this is Natalia, and Nyk. It's a pleasure to meet all of you." Gray swallowed deeply at the predatory feel she gave off, relishing in the aura as they talked. Nyk and Lucy soon broke off to dance and Natsu took Natalia to a quiet corner. It looked like Natsu was currently trying to eat her face and Gray wondered how anyone could want to kiss the flame brain. He ordered him and Lexi another drink, scooting closer throughout the night.

"You have the most beautiful eyes Lexi." Gray said, staring into the deep orbs as she reached out to touch him.

"Why thank you Gray," she said with a girly giggle. "So you're a wizard?"

"Yeah. I'm with Fairy Tail. One of the best guilds out there, and I'm one of the top wizards." he said with a wink.

"Ooooo, not too full of yourself are you Shot Wizard?" she replied.

"Not at all," Gray said with a wink. The whole time they talked Lexi's hand had slowly inched it's way further up his thigh. Gray was becoming very distracted as her fingers circled their way to his belt. "Um, would you like to go back to my place?" he asked hesitantly.

"I have been waiting for you to ask that since I saw you across the room." she replied with a sultry wink, standing, she entwined their fingers and pulled him outside the bar. He pushed her against a building, kissing her roughly as he tilted her head back. She moaned into his mouth this is exactly what I want thought Lexi as he pulled her to his side and steered them towards his house.

End Flashback.

That was the first night he had met her. The first night, and one of the best of his life before Natsu. Gray and her had played for hours, exploring each others bodies at leisure and getting more than their fill of pleasure. They had dated for a while, until she ran off to lord knows where. Gray had been heartbroken. Not long after that, he had gotten sick. He was feeling sick again. Gray couldn't help it, he had to go. If he stayed, Natsu would be destroyed along with him, and Gray would never forgive himself if that happened. I'll leave first thing in the morning. I have to have one last night with him. Thought Gray as he walked back to the house they now shared.

"I'm home!" Gray yelled, entering the house and closing the door behind him. He walked through the mainly dark house, wondering if Natsu was still awake or not. He entered the bedroom, sighing as he saw a figure in the bed, wrapped in the blanket with an arm outstretched towards his pillow. Gray smiled as he stripped his clothes off. Tonight, he would cuddle his dragon slayer one last time. He slid into the bed, wrapping himself around Natsu as his eyes teared up. In the morning he would have to leave. But tonight was all his. He tilted his head down, capturing his lovers lips in a demanding kiss to wake him up.

Natsu felt Gray kiss him, he moaned loudly and snuggled into the embrace. He felt the other man shiver as his hands roamed Grays body. He was thick and ready, and Natsu could smell his need, mixing with his own arousal it was a heady mix indeed. He pushed his tongue into Grays mouth, moving things along as they made love. When they were finished, Natsu cuddled up in Grays arms, falling fast asleep.

Gray held back the tears as Natsus breathing evened out. He breathed deeply, trying to memorize the scent of his lover, as he stared off into the dark. In a few short hours he would leave. He already had a bag packed and waiting in the woods. This would be the hardest night of his life, laying here trying not to cry when he knew in mere hours his whole world would cease to exist as he knew it. Gray finally fell into a fitful sleep, waking as dawn approached to leave.

He got up quietly, making his way through the twilight lit house and out the door. The grass hung heavy with dew as he walked through it. He looked back one last time, watching the house he had built from love as it disappeared around the corner. With his head down and tears rolling freely, he picked up his bag and set out on his mission. He held a simple paper curled in one hand, and a locket in the other. It had been a present from Lucy for his last birthday. Inside, he had placed some of Natsus hair, as well as his own. He put the chain around his head, tucking his most prized possession inside his shirt as the sun peaked over the mountains in the distance.
