A/N: Thanks so much to anyone and everyone who reviewed, favorited, and followed. You guys keep me updating. To Sugarcube: I'll try my best to make this chapter a lot longer than the other ones by at least 1,000 words or so. Btw, I'm super open to any and all ideas or things you guys want to see in this story. It actually helps out a lot whenever I'm stuck on what to write for a new chapter. And you'll get to see your ideas in a story! Yay! Disclaimers: I don't own anything but the fic. Believe me. If I owned Fairy Tail, it would be way different from how it is now. This is a yaoi (that's guyxguy) I'll probably stop putting in that disclaimer next chap since you guys should realize by now that that's what this is. Alright, I think that's it. Enjoy! :3
Natsu woke up, blearily looking at his alarm clock. 10:45, he read, slowly getting up to sit on the side of his bed. He yawned loudly, stretching out his arms and standing up. He looked over at Gray, still sleeping peacefully on his side with one arm under his head. Natsu had the brilliant idea of turning his alarm off and crawling into Gray's bed. He lay on his side for a while, facing Gray's back, without doing much to mess with his roommate. However, he eventually decided that it would be amusing to scoot closer to Gray and put an arm around the younger boy's waist. To Natsu's surprise, Gray didn't wake up, but in fact he groaned lightly and pushed against Natsu more.
"Gray," Natsu whispered, "It's time to wake up."
"Ugh, five more minutes, Ma." Gray groaned, reaching down to pull up a blanket that wasn't there since he had pushed it off on accident. Natsu moved his head just above Gray's ear and blew hot air into it. That only earned him a short groan and Gray's swatting hand. I guess we'll just have to try something a bit more extreme. He thought as he positioned his mouth at the shell of Gray's ear and began to slowly lick his way up it. Gray just groaned a bit more and rolled over a bit, effectively trapping Natsu's arm under him. Well fine then, Gray. How about this? Natsu moved his mouth to the exposed part of Gray's collarbone and began sucking at it harshly.
"Natsu~" Gray moaned in reaction to Natsu suckling at such a sensitive spot, but he still had not woken up. Natsu jerked back in surprise, kicking Gray off the bed in the process.
"Why am I on the floor?" Gray thought out loud, looking around him. He saw Natsu on his bed, backed up against the wall.
"Natsu? Why are you on my bed? Did you kick me off?" Gray said, still not fully awake yet.
"Y-yeah, on accident." Natsu replied, moving to stand up next to the bed.
Gray began to get up from the floor slowly, "So, who should shower first?" He asked.
"I'-I'll go first!" Natsu accidentally shouted, hoping to take a cool shower to calm himself down before he had to go to class. He walked over to the closet to grab a towel. He walked stiffly over to the bathroom and closed the door. I wonder what's up with him. Gray thought to himself, yawning. He strode over to his closet and looked for the most comfortable clothing he owned that was still socially acceptable. He decided on a loose T-shirt and a pair of sweatpants. No one actually expected college students to dress up properly for their first day of school, right? He grabbed his clothes and a towel and sat on the side of his bed, playing on his phone until Natsu finished showering.
Why did he have to moan my name like that? Natsu thought, head down with his eyes closed under the torrent of warm water. Why couldn't he just wake up and freak out like he normally does? He looked down. Why does he have to have this affect on me? He thought, frustrated that he had gotten even slightly turned on by the younger boy's moan. Ugh, the water is too cold. He turned up the heat until it almost burned his skin. He turned off the water and stepped out. He looked around for his clothes before realizing that all he had gotten from his closet was his towel. He dried off and wrapped the towel around his waist as he walked out of the bathroom. Gray looked up from his phone and saw that his roommate was shirtless, again. He began to study each of the older boy's muscles as if he was having an important test on the exact muscle structure of his roommate's chest.
"Shower's free." Natsu said, walking towards his closet to get his clothes. Gray still had his eyes glued to Natsu's chest. Natsu began to walk over to Gray, the towel slowly inching its way down his hips, revealing a teasing V-line until eventually the entire thing fell off into a pile on the floor. Gray looked down at the floor, then back at Natsu's chest, still not knocked out of the hypnosis Natsu had him under. Natsu reached over Gray and placed his lips right next to Gray's ear that hadn't been abused much yet. The entire time, Gray had been staring inventively at his roommate, his perfect little nubs protruding from his chest, the suggestive gleam in his eyes.
"The shower is open…" Natsu whispered seductively, quickly lapping at Gray's ear. Gray finally snapped out of his trance.
"R-right, right, okay, sorry, my mind was somewhere… else" He said, a blush creeping across his cheeks.
"Unless you want to do something else..." Natsu said, looking at Gray with playful seductiveness, crawling over Gray and trapping him under himself. Gray looked up and saw Natsu's sculpted chest. He snapped himself out of his trance.
"You're not serious, right?" Gray said, backing himself away from Natsu, only to be stopped by the wall.
"Not unless you want me to be." Natsu responded, crawling over top of Gray and pinning him to the bed. Gray's face heated up faster than a piece of hated homework thrown into a fire.
"Oh, look at the time!" Gray said looking down at his wrist which held an imaginary watch. "We might be late. I'll go take a quick shower, You can go ahead to class. I'll meet you there." Gray said nervously, pushing Natsu off of him and rushing into the bathroom, forgetting his clothes and towel.
"It's like he's trying to seduce me or something. I mean, really? Leaving your clothes here, Gray?" Natsu thought out loud, picking up Gray's forgotten clothes and walking over to the unlocked bathroom.
"AHH! What are you doing in here!?" Gray yelled, trying to use his dirty clothes as a barrier between Natsu's piercing stare and Gray's body. Natsu had walked in on Gray just as he was about to take a shower. He didn't even bother to shield his eyes as he watched, glued to the sight of Gray trying to cover himself up, if only slightly.
"What? We're both guys. It's not that big of a deal. Anyway, you forgot your clothes in your hasty escape." Natsu said, handing Gray his clean clothes and towel.
"O-oh, thanks… Now, will you please get out so I can take a shower in peace?" Gray said, staring at Natsu who was still naked, without even a towel around his waist.
"Alright, alright." Natsu responded, walking out, swaying his hips to catch Gray's attention before closing the door.
Sheesh. Why does Natsu always have to do stuff like that? I could have gotten my clothes after I took a shower if he had already gone to class. Gray thought, turning the water to almost freezing cold. And then walking around stark naked, as if it's no big deal. He thought, images of Natsu's perfect body flooding his mind. He shook his head. No, no, no ,no, no. I absolutely refuse to fall for that guy. I mean, we're both guys. And he probably already has a girlfriend. Yeah, that's probably what it is. I'm just some plaything until he can get back to her. So then, why do I feel jealous of a girl I don't even know is real yet?
Natsu and Gray somehow managed to get themselves together and get to class on time without any further incident. When they got to the right room, Natsu waved up to a group of people sitting towards the middle.
"Yo!" He called up as he walked towards them with Gray walking awkwardly behind him.
"Hey, guys, this is my new roommate, Gray." He said, gesturing toward the younger boy with hunched shoulders and his head down.
"Come on, Gray, say 'Hi'" Natsu coaxed, trying to get Gray to socialize with his friends. Gray looked up. I don't know how to socialize with people who can see my face. Uhh, introduction right.
"Uhh, Hi, my name is Gray Fullbuster. I'm a freshman studying Culinary Arts. Nice to meet you!" He said stiffly with a small bow. The group began to laugh..
"Gray, right? You don't need to act so formal around us." said a girl with scarlet hair and a welcoming smile. "If you're a friend of Natsu's, you're a friend of ours. Now, come sit down before the professor gets mad at us." She said gesturing towards the two empty seats between her and a blonde girl. "I'm Erza Scarlet, by the way. The blonde is Lucy and those two guys holding hands "secretly" are Laxus and Freed. Laxus is the big one with the scar and Freed is the one with supposedly "naturally" green hair. If you want to keep your head, you should avoid anything that could be seen as flirting with him. Also," she added, quietly whispering to Gray, "in case you were wondering, Natsu is single." She said with a nudge of her elbow and a wink.
"Hello, class. My name is Makarov Dreyar. I will be your professor in Food Safety and Cleaning for the next semester." said a booming voice towards the front of the class. Its source was a tiny, old man who looked to be about four feet tall. Gray looked on in surprise. How could such a commanding voice come from such frail-looking old man? The professor pulled up notes and began lecturing. Gray thought he should probably be trying to copy down some notes, but he could always ask Natsu for an extra copy later. For now, he just wanted to look around the class and pick out people who were probably freshman, otherwise known as those who were diligently trying to copy down every word that came out of the professor's mouth. He looked over to Natsu, only to find that he had also not been copying down notes and was just staring off into space. That means I should probably start copying down stuff. I might be able to copy the first few off of Erza. He looked over at Erza who was just staring intently at a blue haired head a few rows ahead. Oh, great, I've become friends with a bunch of people who don't care about school… Gray thought sarcastically with a small, private chuckle. I wonder who she's staring at though. He thought, trying to see the face that belonged to this mysterious blue haired guy while also trying to take good notes. Well, I guess I can always just ask her after class or something. He looked over at Natsu, not too surprised to see that his face was down on the table and he had drool escaping the side of his open mouth. I guess I'll have to give him notes to copy from. He thought, sighing.
After class ended, Gray tried to wake Natsu up by poking him with the sharp end of his pencil. Nothing.
"Natsu." He whispered right next to his ear. Still no response.
"Give up, Gray. He's not waking up any time soon." Erza said, packing up her supplies, "You're probably better off just carrying him back to your room and leaving him there. We're gonna go get some food in a bit if you wanna join us after you drop him off. You can probably get him something to-go."
"Alright, that sounds good. You guys can go ahead and meet up with whoever else is going. I'll meet you on the main yard."
Gray began to pack up his and Natsu's stuff. He put Natsu's bag inside of his since Gray's bag was big enough to hold both Natsu's bag and Gray's stuff without too much trouble. He slung the bag over his shoulder to where it crossed his chest like a messenger bag and began to pick Natsu up. He was surprisingly light for someone in college and Gray managed to carry him princess style with one arm supporting Natsu's neck and the other supporting his knees and allowing his legs to dangle over the side. Erza looked on in surprise. Most guys would've slung Natsu across their shoulders instead of draping him across their arms delicately. In fact, most guys would have just left Natsu there to get yelled at by the professor for sleeping in the classroom.
There was only one other male who had ever done something like this for Natsu and that was Sting Eucliffe. He transferred as a sophomore when Natsu was a freshman. He was majoring in Animal Behavior and minoring in Ecology so they didn't have any classes together, but there was one time when Sting saw Natsu sleeping by himself in an empty room. He knew his roommate, Rogue, and where their room was, so he carried Natsu back to his dorm just as Gray was now. Natsu and Sting ended up dating for a few months before breaking up. Sting had been secretly dating Rogue behind Natsu's back. Natsu was cool with it and understood their relationship since they had only been dating for a few months. He even supported it by buying them certain objects that can be used by couples on their first Valentine's Day together. Natsu has been single ever since.
Gray carried Natsu back to their room and laid him on his bed gently, pulling a blanket over him. He left the room quietly and went to the yard to meet up with everyone for a late lunch. After Gray left, Natsu opened one eye and smiled slyly.
