oOoOoOoO
Instead of the cruel reality, he'll rather embrace a perfected lie.
Natsu was outraged, because the enemy was obviously toying with them. He doesn't even wish to question their motives further, it was just plain stupid. How could he let Wendy get abducted right before his eyes even though he swore that he would never let anyone hurt his comrades ever again. An unavailing threat like so left them all in stupefaction, this man was screwing with them. He probably doesn't have the slightest intention of letting Wendy live, Natsu wouldn't just stand aside and watch his loved ones get killed, he needed a different strategy. A strategy that doesn't involve giving that exhibitionist a blowjob.
But thinking wasn't one of his talents, his instincts thundered, overwhelming whatever logicality his brain tried debating, replacing it with an unsatisfiable urge to ignore everything and attack. It took tremendous amounts of sheer will-power to stay put, and Natsu could only imagine how much more it'll take to obey his nonsensical demand. Maybe if he moved fast enough, he could rescue Wendy before the assaulter has a chance to slit her throat. No, he couldn't take this risk, the chances were too high. If they were going to achieve anything, he'll need Gray's help. He needed Gray to disable the enemy's offending hand before he could make a move. The challenge was, how would Natsu be able to relay the message to him.
He gave Gray a quick glance, observing his reaction. Gray's shoulders tensed and Natsu could sense the hostility and vexation in Gray, akin to him, Gray wasn't about to humour the aggressor. Natsu wondered if Gray had the same thought in mind. He didn't, if anything was to put to blame, it would be the lack of chemistry between them. Despite being a team, fire working together with ice was simply out of the question. They were an impossible combination, two ends of the extreme.
Unlike him, Gray wasn't imprudent, but time was under no circumstances forgiving, the perpetrator's patience was growing thin, claiming it as his boss's orders. Natsu could see the indecision in Gray, analysing the better option (if there were any).
"I haven't got all day you know... Or do you need some encouragement..." The blonde urged, tilting the blade, a trail of glistering silver slid down the edges defining the sharpness as he did. Using the jagged end to draw a faint line across Wendy's protruding collarbone, splitting the delicate skin and letting blood stream out in a mockery.
Wendy fidgeted uncomfortable within the strengthened hold, she hated her uselessness as she fought with the tears threatening her. The last thing she would do right now is cry and worry her team mates. In spite of not understanding what the condition was in exchange for her 'freedom' she felt the unwillingness from both the older boys and she didn't want them to submit for her sake. She no longer wanted to be the burden. The repugnant air was doing nothing except slowing her recovery process, under normal circumstances, her magic would return much quicker. Just what atrocious experiments were researched here.
Natsu felt his heart clutched, couldn't bear to watch Wendy squirm in pain, he noticed the wetness in her eyes, tears which she was trying so hard to control. Then he remembered Lucy, who did the exact same as she jumped in front of Aries protecting her from a fatal blow, taking all the damage upon her battered body. And here he was, unwilling to relinquish his damnable pride to save a precious friend who fought so bravely. His body shifts involuntarily, instincts growling at the inexorable need to assault, his fist already rearing up and fire almost ignited if not for Gray preventing him.
"Natsu, don't do it!" Gray barked in a low growl. Not only he needed to control his own rage, but that flame-head's as well.
"Then what do you suppose we do?" Natsu retorted immediately.
"Oi, you!" Gray yells at the man, after securing his attention, "If your boss wants to be a pervert, I guess it doesn't matter if the roles were reversed right?"
"Gray! You bastard, what are you say..." Natsu snaps, but was disrupted untimely,
"Hmm, she says it's all right."
Saving Wendy far outweighed his egotism, Gray too realized the hurt in Wendy's eyes, and he couldn't stand it. If he hesitated any longer, god knows what'll happen to her, he doesn't want history to re-enact, unwilling to endure the ache for a third time, even if it means that he'll have to be selfish to Natsu. Gray figured that receiving would probably be more endurable then giving, especially when it comes to Natsu who has zero experience in this area. In a solemn voice,
"Wendy, please... look away..." he said gently as he turned to Natsu who was dumbfounded by his decision.
"No, Gray-san you don't have to!" Wendy cries protestingly. There was a strain her in voice, of bitterness and self-accusation that only made Gray sank further in remorse. It was unfair, Wendy shouldn't be corrupted like this, a young adolescent girl at her tender age shouldn't be shown such sights. He didn't want her to view them any differently, but if it's in exchange for her life, then he'll readily shatter his own reputation. He was already known as an exhibitionist, so a little further wouldn't change much. But having to drag Natsu along with him troubled Gray. Because Wendy will forever look at them with disgust and reminder of an unpleasant memory.
It was unjustifiable for Natsu who has yet to be introduced to the adulterated world, he didn't deserve the judgement.
"Look away..." Gray repeated firmly, this time more of a beg then a request.
Wendy felt his unwavering intention and respected it, whatever it was, Gray hadn't want her to see it. Wendy turns her face away and shuts her eyes.
Happy and Carla already snuck away under the distraction awhile ago, 'find Erza' remained unspoken.
Natsu stood soundlessly, indignation overthrowing his other emotions, of Gray yielding to the enemy, of his inability to handle the situation any better. It was sick. Having Gray wordlessly exchange places with him and lowering his dignity in protection of Natsu's, in a corner of his heart, an annoying feeling tugged at him, that he has wronged Gray. Natsu was mortified, whilst Gray was focused solely of helping Wendy, everything that occupied his mind was to kill, slaughter and destroy.
He realized he was so despicable... so selfish...
"I'll do it..." Natsu mumbles guiltily... barely perceptible and a downcast glance.
"Huh?" Gray looks at him wide-eyed. As if he was hallucinating, shocked at the headstrong, stubborn Natsu surrendering.
"I said I'll do it!" He restated louder, mistaking Gray's surprised for inaudibility.
"So hurry up, strip and get this over with."
Gray was never so reluctant to remove his clothing, as if his habit just decided to mystically disappear. He fiddles with his pants button. For him who had never felt an ounce of shame revealing his body developed the sudden urge to hide and cover, because this time, it was more then just revealing... He swallows hard, unsatisfactory, anger and embarrassment all at once and undoing the zip aversely. It wasn't that he was inexperienced, but the facts surrounding this matter, that his partner was Natsu, and Wendy the witness.
Gray knew what it meant to be a dragon slayer, even with her sight disabled, Wendy still had enhanced hearing and smell, she would perceive them with various other means.
"You're too slow." Gray heard Natsu snapped impatiently while lowering himself on his knees.
The tension in the air was far from arousal, or anything that even vaguely resemble romanticism. Instead, it was disgust, disinclination and undeniable displeasure from both parties. Gray felt Natsu's hands hastily removing his trousers and boxers along with it. Natsu wasn't affectionate, he just wanted to finish this quickly so he could proceed to beat the crap out of the assailant. His touches were anything but stimulating, and Gray's mind was too preoccupied to think of perverted matters to get a reaction from his fastidious body.
"Dammit Gray, are you challenging me?"
Natsu glances up irritatedly after attempting for twenty seconds. Gray always knew Natsu had a short temper, but to think he was this intolerant...
"You're just bad at this." Gray argued. "Go away, I'll get it up myself."
Gray worked his hands around the more sensitive skin, he can worry about shame, humiliation and awkwardness later because right now, saving Wendy was priority. He didn't know what intentions the enemy harboured, but whatever it was, Gray sensed it wasn't just as simple as a sadistic fetish. He wasn't curious to find out. His rebellious hormones were uncooperative, he never imagined doing this was so difficult. Whenever he just started to feel something, the negative thoughts in his mind killed it completely. He was back to square one. He tightened his grip, almost painfully so and experimented different methods.
He wrecked his brain for recollection of any events or erotic fantasies but the images that flashes through his mind were just a concentrated series of hateful, tragic or disheartening occurrences. He couldn't embrace anything but absolute infuriation and panic. He swore under his breath as he toyed with his defiant body with no avail. It wasn't working. Neither of them had any intention of doing this. Wasn't the time, the place, the person. Rather then pleasing, Gray was abusing himself. And Natsu stops him.
With both hands, Natsu seized his wrists and parted them, "You're going to hurt yourself." Natsu said glumly, large, cheerless eyes gazes at him, Gray doesn't see the rage or murderous blood-lust residing in them. Just unhappiness and defeat. Natsu doesn't admit, but watching Gray like this saddens him, Gray torturing himself because Natsu was too incompetent to even seduce someone. He regretted his decision instantly when he knew it only caused more trauma. Natsu cursed his callowness, a part of him actually wanted to pleasure Gray in exchange for an apology which he'll never give.
"Let me do it."
He doesn't wait for Gray's reply before leaning in towards the limp, friction-redden organ and gave it a lick. Natsu tried to ignore the revulsion, convincing himself that at least it was Gray, and not a complete stranger.
Gray felt a shiver bolted down his spine, because unlike Natsu's unskilled touches, his tongue was tender and soft, the wetness felt welcoming, lubricating the previous uncomfortable dry resistance. Gray felt Natsu's hesitancy and his conservative movements, for Gray has yet given any reaction. And when he finally takes him in his mouth, Gray's breath hitches. It was hot, too hot but not to the point of unbearable. He could feel Natsu's careful positioning of his canines, close enough to graze him tickishly.
There was a moment of delay, Natsu uncertain of what to do, Gray felt his curious tongue flicked shyly along the head, almost like a tease before he retracted again. The coldness of the surrounding air hits him in great contrast, as if escaping a blazing furnace. It was unbelievable, and Gray hated to accept it, but Natsu has actually somehow managed to incite him, he wasn't fully erected but Natsu wrung something out from him that he couldn't under this circumstances.
His stomach tensed as Natsu looks proudly at his achievement, it was with neither wanton nor disgust, just innocent delight akin to a puppy given a treat. Gray nearly thought it was cute, until he was reminded the discomfort of the enemy's watchful supervision, and Wendy's inquisitive ears picking up the sounds.
Most of all, he would never allow himself to think of the fire-spitter as anything other then annoying.
Natsu took the response as an encouragement to try something more bold, it wasn't that bad after Natsu got over the odium, but neither was it a sensation that Natsu wanted to be accustomed with. He ran his tongue along the shaft, grazing his sharpened fangs over accidentally. He was expecting Gray to flinch in discomfort, but it was quite the contrary. Natsu could swore he heard the rasp as he felt Gray growing harder in his mouth. So he likes it rougher huh... Natsu was going to tease him about it someday and maybe exaggerate the information and tell the entire guild that Gray was a masochist. Then, something diabolical hit him, a playful side of Natsu wanted to pry out all of Gray's secret fetishes and use it to blackmail him in future aspects.
Maybe he could even get Gray to clean his house.
Gray had to fight back a moan when Natsu pushed the foreskin back with his tongue, damn, that idiot was getting more adventurous after discovering the initial approval. It felt so wrong now that it has actually started to feel good, he found it harder to regulate his breathing. And when Natsu did use his teeth, Gray had to cuss,
"Fuck... Na..tsu...St..op that!" He stuttered between the now irregular pants, stifling his voice.
Natsu stopped, he pulled away completely, a concerned expression lingered on his face as he asked panickingly, "I'm sorry! Does it hurt?"
His purity almost wanted to make Gray dive into a hole, Natsu was so oblivious but Gray didn't explain it either, he didn't say that it felt so good that he intuitively responded. Realization hits him disagreeably, that he was craving for Natsu's touches, that the air suddenly felt too cool. He mentality was in denial of the unwarranted yearnings that urged him, yet his body contradicted him gladly because Natsu made him rock hard.
"No..." He forced himself to omit the rest of the sentence, it was needless information, a hormone induced moment that no one needed to hear. Especially not Wendy. He glances over at the sky dragon slayer, she squirmed restlessly against her captor. Crap, she could probably smell his arousal. He couldn't forget his initial objective. Couldn't neglect the fact that they were forced into this, it was a sinful gratification, that Gray almost allowed himself relish it.
The refusal falters again when he felt the hot, wet heat against him, the burning sultriness within Natsu seemingly deriding him, melting him. Gray disregarded the tempting desire to thrust his length completely into that teasing mouth sealed tightly around him. The agile tongue caressed him clumsily together with the gentle suction as if an erotic dance, he swallows the words begging Natsu to be rougher, to stop holding back, forgets the longing to bury his hands into Natsu's dishevelled pink hair and push him forward. He never thought he would be grateful for Natsu restraining his arms, because he stopped entrusting himself with the freedom.
A part of Gray actually secretly enjoyed the immoral delectation knowing that they were being watched, it was so wrong... Natsu wasn't nearly as proficient as Gray's other partners, but there was something about the combination of uncoordinated gestures and overwhelmed pride that made it erotic. No, he didn't permit himself to think of this as enjoyable, he bit his lips, hard enough to draw blood. Gray avoided looking at Natsu entirely, not because the sight would repel him, but instead, he was afraid to associate this feeling with him. He trembles at the thought of eyes bearing into him. Gray didn't want anyone to see him in this state, flustered and lascivious, breathlessly grasping for air.
It was humiliating, so wrong, yet so tantalizing. The reckless, harebrained Natsu was sucking Gray off. It was weird to think of him that way. That Natsu was willing to swoop so low... Literally.
His body shudders as Natsu pushed him against his teeth with his tongue, his canines pricked him uncomfortably, but not enough to hurt, the feeling of his fangs denting into his nerve clustered skin was amazing. Gray could feel himself leaking, he saw the furrow in Natsu's brows as he tasted the revolting liquid. Gray suddenly hoped the earth would just engulf him, he knew Natsu was forcing himself to continue and Gray doesn't wish to prolong his anguish further. He wished for this to stop, but his conflicting body doesn't want to.
Hell yes, he was loving it. It took every ounce of control to prevent himself moaning aloud like a bitch in heat, every bit of restrain to not buck his hips for more. Gray became so accepting to the idea that the person on him right now was Natsu, pleasuring him tenderly, eagerly... No, no, no. He shakes away the corrupted ideas. Tried to ignore the warm thrill pooling in his abdomen.
Natsu withdrew with a soft 'pop', licking his redden, abused lips with that talented tongue. He glances up, impatience ridden eyes bore into Gray's and voice laced with annoyance,
"Just come already, my jaws are sore."
Gray couldn't reply, too embarrassed to look at Natsu, guilty of what he thought about him. He glances aside, trying to focus on anything but Natsu's face. He didn't think of how much he missed the sensation, how much he craved and lusted shamelessly for more. Of his hormones going wild and disarray. He was truly such an exhibitionist.
"Am I really that terrible at it?" Natsu spoke again, morosely.
Gray snapped at him instinctually, " No! It's just..." He hesitated, glimpsing over at the two audience and gritted his teeth. Wendy kept her promise, she closed her eyes the entire time but Gray could see how her body strained, flinching in discomfort from the situation. He couldn't say it...
"It's just?" Natsu inquired. The last thing Natsu wanted was to hurt Gray, maybe he was really repelled by the idea of Natsu sucking him off, perhaps Gray really hated it. It wasn't like Natsu cared about how the stripper thought about him, but the vision of Gray looking at him with disgust really pained him inside. Gray was his best friend, and rival... Their relationship could only remain at that, nothing more.
Things would forever be awkward between them after this. They could never go back to how they used to be... Just like Lucy...
