A/N: I have somewhat made it over my writer's block and have decided to make this chapter fluffy-ish, maybe like a mix of angst, fluff, and smut (idk) and the next few angsty or smutty. I haven't decided which yet. (probably a mix of both) But if its angsty, you can be sure of a new chapter within the next week. So that's… good, I guess. I mean, it'll be angst so I don't know if that's good or not. Anyway Enjoy! :3
Once Gray had left to meet with the others, Natsu stood up, pulled off the blanket Gray had placed over him, and walked over to Gray's bed. Hehe… Let's see what he thinks of this. He thought as he crawled onto Gray's bed and clutched his pillow. He inhaled deeply, loving the scent of a winter forest on it. I'm sure Gray will be surprised to see me like this. He thought as he yawned and closed his eyes reluctantly, growing tired from the calming scent on Gray's pillow.
"So, Gray, who do you like?" Erza asked, reaching across the table to put her face closer to his. Gray's face erupted in shades of reds and pinks as he spat out his water in surprise at the sudden question.
"Oh, uh, no one in particular… Y'know…. I just started here and all." He chuckled nervously, looking down at his feet. Flashes of Natsu's face ran through his mind. No, no, no. I can't like him. We're both guys. He reprimanded himself, shaking his head slightly.
"I knew it, you like Natsu." She said, sitting back down with a smirk on her face.
"No, that's not true! I don't like him. I mean, we're both guys. It would never work out," He said, closing his eyes to keep the warm water from escaping his eyes, "Right?" He looked over at Erza with beads of water forming around his eyes and a gleam of hope.
"Well, I don't see why not." She said, "I mean, gay marriage was legalized across the US not too long ago and more and more people are becoming more accepting of it."
"Yeah, it's fine by all of us if you decide to start dating Natsu. I'm sure he'd be more than willing to," said Lucy, looking over at Gray with a warm smile gracing her face. "And just look at Freed and Laxus. They're basically openly dating." Gray looked over at the two of them. Neither were paying attention to the group's conversation. Laxus whispered something in Freed's ear. Freed's eyes widened and his cheeks turned a deep red color. He looked over at Laxus and stiffly nodded.
"Alright, well, guys. Me and Freed have a, uh, quiz tomorrow that we have to study for." Laxus said, standing up and walking away with Freed in tow.
"Bye, guys." Freed said weakly, trying his best to keep up with the blonde's pace.
"See what we mean. They are definitely going to go do it now." Lucy chuckled lightly.
"Alright, thanks guys. I'll get Natsu something to-go and then go talk to him. Bye." Gray said, standing up and walking over to where he could order something for Natsu.
"Just remember that Natsu really likes meat! If you know what I mean." Erza called back at him with a suggestive tone and a raised eyebrow. Gray's face turned red just as the waiter who took to-go orders asked him what he wanted.
Sting stumbled through the halls. It was still only nine at night, but he was already drunkenly complaining about how Rogue never wanted to do it. He was searching for the right room. The man he had dated before, if only for a while. He had sated Sting's desires once before when they were both drunk. He found the right room and knocked on the door sloppily.
"Natsu, open uup…" He slurred. "Natsuuuu, I wanna talk to you, if you know what I mean." He said leaning against the door, spilling some liquor from the bottle in his hand while doing so.
Natsu got up from Gray's bed groggily.
"What d'ya want?" He called back, walking over to open the door. The moment he opened it, he was attacked by a lean body with a tuft of blonde hair on top.
"Sting?" He asked, slowly waking up.
"Yeh, its me, ya bastard. Rogue doesn't wanna do it. Do ya wanna?" Sting said, kicking the door closed behind him and pushing Natsu towards his bed.
"Sting, no, you're drunk. And Rogue will be mad if I so much as touch you." Natsu retorted, trying to push Sting off of him and failing. Drunk Sting was much stronger than sober Sting.
"Yah, but, Rogue doesn't wanna and I wanna." Sting said, climbing on top of Natsu and effectively pinning him down to the bed.
Gray unlocked the door to their room and walked in, leaving the lights off since his hands were full with Natsu's food. He set the food down on Natsu's desk since it was the only clear one. He walked over to the light switch and turned the lights back on. He turned around to see an almost empty liquor bottle and a blonde with flushed cheeks pinning Natsu to his bed.
"Natsu… What are you doing?" He said, so surprised he couldn't even comprehend what was happening.
"Wait Gray this isn't wh-" Natsu tried to explain, but Sting took advantage of his open mouth.
"Mmph, Sting, gerroff." He said, pushing at Sting futilely.
Gray ran off towards the bathroom, tears stinging his eyes.
"I knew it." He cried, looking down at the tear stains forming on T-shirt. "I knew he was just messing with me for his own entertainment. I never should've fallen for that idiot." Wait, why should I even care? I mean, we're both guys and I knew from the start that he was just messing with me. He sat, leaning against the bathroom door for a while before crying himself to sleep.
"Ugh, Sting seriously, get off of me!" Natsu shouted punching Sting in the stomach harshly. "You already have a boyfriend. Go mess with him." Sting looked up at him with drunken eyes before passing out on Natsu's bed. Natsu walked over to the bathroom door and knocked.
"Gray? Are you okay? Just let me explain." He called out to him. He tried the handle. It was unlocked. He walked in to find Gray passed out with tear stains on his cheeks. He lifted him up gingerly and carried him over to his bed. Natsu set him down onto Gray's bed gently and pulled up the blanket around his shoulders. He climbed up onto the bed behind him and pressed Gray's back to his chest, cuddling him. He nuzzled into Gray's hair, taking in the sweet smell of a snow-covered pine tree. He gradually fell asleep, breathing in Gray's calming scent.
The next morning, Gray woke up first to find himself pinned to his bed with an arm wrapped around him and an abnormal heat pressing against his back. He looked over to Natsu's bed and was surprised to see a blonde boy sleeping in place of Natsu. Flashes of last night raced through his mind. Tears threatened to form at the edges of his eyes when he remembered Natsu being pinned down by the blonde. Who even was this kid and why was he on top of Natsu like that? Why did he feel so depressed and jealous when he saw them like that? Gray had these thoughts go through his mind as he sleepily closed his eyes again, sinking into the embrace of the unnatural yet calming warmth of the person behind him.
Natsu woke up slowly and looked down at Gray's sleeping form, the way his chest rose and fell perfectly with each breath, his beautiful closed eyes, the slight crease to his brow indicating a troublesome dream. Natsu knew, in that moment, that he had to be with Gray, but he wasn't sure what Gray felt about him. He heard a groan from the raven haired boy next to him. He watched as Gray's eyes fluttered open.
"Good morning, ice princess." Natsu said sweetly looking down at Gray who quickly moved away from the voice, falling off the bed in the process.
"W-ho're you calling ice princess, you overly warm… person?" Gray yelled, ashamed that he couldn't think of a better comeback.
"Well, you of course, ice… princess..." Natsu said, pronouncing each syllable. Gray's face heated up as he moved even farther away only to be blocked by Natsu's bed, jostling a hungover Sting awake.
"Wha-whas goin on?" He slurred. "Aghhh, Natsu, ya got any Tylenol?" He groaned holding his forehead.
"Yeah, hang on." Natsu responded, walking over to the bathroom to get Sting some Tylenol from the cabinet.
"So…" Gray said awkwardly. "Who are you and why were you pinning my… roommate to the bed last night?" He questioned in a much more commanding tone, standing up to look down at Sting.
"Look, dude, I don't know who you are and I honestly don't care. Last night I was drunk. My boyfriend didn't want to do it so my drunken mind thought it would be a great idea to go attack Natsu. But right now, I'm too hungover to think about much more than that, okay?" Sting said, sitting on the edge of the bed holding his head in both hands. "Oh God, Rogue is gonna kill me for this." He thought out loud, shaking his head.
"Alright, here's that Tylenol you wanted and a cup of water. Now, will you please go back to your boyfriend and beg for forgiveness or whatever it is you do when you have to apologize to him?" Natsu said, handing Sting the medicine and water.
"Oh, by the way, this is Sting. We dated a while back when I was still a freshman." Natsu explained to Gray. Wait, dated? That means Natsu is probably gay or bi, right? That means I have a chance. Gray thought with a determined look on his face.
"Right, well, Natsu, I'll leave you and your boyfriend? to work out whatever problems this incident has caused while I try to explain to mine where I disappeared to last night." Sting said with a dreading look on his face as he opened the door and left.
"Wait, he's not my boyfriend!" Natsu called out, moments too late. "Not yet anyway…" He mumbled under his breath.
"W-well, u-um" Gray began, his face turning redder than it ever had before. Natsu looked over at him with interest. "W-ould you w-wanna be b-boyfriends?" He asked, hiding his face in his hands. Natsu's eyes widened in surprise. "Y-you know what? N-never mind. It was a stupid question. I mean, why would anyone want to date a scrawny nerd like me, right. And then we're both guys too." Gray rambled on quietly, not noticing how much closer Natsu was getting to him. He took advantage of Gray's open mouth and forcefully placed his lips on top of Gray's. Gray's eyes stayed wide open, the last few tears slipping out of his eyes. Natsu placed a hand on the back of Gray's neck, forcing him to lean against his older roommate. Natsu licked up Gray's mostly closed mouth, asking for entrance. Gray widened his mouth and closed his eyes, granting it. They pulled apart for air, faces flushed and breathing hard.
"Was that a good enough response?" Natsu questioned, looking at Gray with a seductive gleam in his eyes. Gray's face turned a deep red.
"I-it was nice…" He said looking down at the slight bulge beginning to tent his pants. He swallowed quickly, trying to hide his embarrassment at getting even remotely aroused.
"Yeah, I can tell." Natsu said, reaching down to palm at the bulge in Gray's pants. Gray sucked in a breath sharply, trying to mask a whimper.
"W-what are you doing?" Gray asked, his face heating up quickly, taking a step back. Natsu caught him before he could go too far.
"Isn't it obvious?" Natsu asked innocently, slowly unzipping Gray's jeans. "Seducing you." He reached over and gripped the back of Gray's neck again, pulling him closer. He moved his face closer and closer to Gray's, slowly making his way towards the raven's lips. Gray stared at Natsu's lips, studying each individual crevice as they made their way towards him. With Gray distracted, Natsu quickly pulled open Gray's jeans and forced down his underwear, letting Gray's erection free. Gray gasped silently in surprise. Natsu thrust his tongue inside Gray's mouth, taking advantage of it being open. Gray closed his eyes, taking in all of the stimulation from Natsu's mouth. Hatsukoi slowly worked his hands down towards Gray's arousal. He grabbed onto it gently, softly leaving ghosts of touches over it. Natsu jerked up on Gray slowly, rubbing his thumb over the wet tip.
"Mmph, N-natsu~" Gray whimpered, his knees not working properly. He pressed his head against Natsu's shoulder, leaning against him not able to support himself properly, breaking their kiss. Natsu pulled his hand away.
"N-no" Gray whimpered, shutting his eyes tightly.
"What's wrong, Gray?" Natsu chuckled lightly. "Did you like that?" He whispered seductively into his ear. Gray's face heated up quickly. He tried to walk backwards but ended up falling onto Natsu's bed. Gray shuffled back towards the wall, trapping himself between Natsu and the bed. Natsu walked forward, swaying his hips back and forth as he slowly unzipped his own jeans and pulled them down seductively revealing a large bulge in his boxers with a wet spot towards the center. He leaned over Gray, pinning him to the bed, holding his arms over his head with one hand.
"N-natsu, I, u-um, I don't think I can go as far as I t-think you want to." Gray whimpered, trying to hide his red face in his arm.
Natsu leaned in towards Gray's ear. "And just how far do you think that is?" He asked reaching down with his free hand to touch Gray's stomach and thighs, but only skirting around the place where Gray needed Natsu's touches the most.
