A/N: Yay! New chapter! Woohoo! I guess. Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story yada yada yada… Anyway, onto the chapter! Enjoy! :3
"N-natsu..." Gray whined, squeezing his eyes shut. He squirmed under Natsu's tight grip on him.
"What is it, Gray?" Natsu responded teasingly, removing his hand from Gray's arousal to rub around one of the nubs protruding from Gray's chest. Gray wiggled his hips, protesting the loss of friction.
"P-please..." Gray whimpered, trying to move his hands to cover his face, but failing since they were being held together over Gray's head by Natsu.
"Please, what, Gray? I won't know unless you tell me," He leaned in towards Gray's ear and licked up the shell, "in detail..." He whispered seductively.
"I-I..." Gray began before Natsu began to suckle the sensitive spot on Gray's collarbone he had found while trying to wake him up. "Ah… A-ah!" Gray cried out as he felt waves of pleasure course through his body.
"What's wrong Gray? Didn't you want something?" Natsu whispered as his tongue made its way down Gray's chest.
"N-natsu..." Gray whimpered quietly, wriggling underneath Natsu. "Nngh… please..." He pleaded, looking up at Natsu with teary eyes. His arousal was throbbing painfully and he needed some form of release, but he couldn't do anything himself with Natsu holding down his hands. Natsu blew hot air over one of Gray's nipples.
"Ahhn…" He cried out. He wanted to tell Natsu to let him go, but his mind was so clouded with pleasure all he could get out were a few jumbled pleads and moans. Natsu's tongue slowly made its way down Gray's chest.
"Natsu," Gray began warningly. Natsu drug his rough tongue over Gray's belly button teasingly, earning a quiet groan from Gray. "Get off of me." He continued, trying to push Natsu off of him with his legs.
"Awww, why Gray? We were having so much fun…" Natsu whined, but complying with Gray's request he let go of Gray's hand and moved away.
"Because I'm not ready for something like that with a guy." He responded sternly, walking away from Natsu towards the shower.
Natsu looked over at his naked form with a longing gaze. He didn't want to scare Gray away, but he also didn't know how long he could hold himself off from attacking that perfect body. Gray grabbed some random clothes out of his closet, not even bothering to make sure that they were even his.
Ugh, that idiot Natsu. Automatically assuming that I would want something that… intimate right after he agreed to be my… boy… friend. Gray thought as he walked into the shower and turned the water to freezing cold to help his arousal fade. It didn't work. Gray kept seeing flashes of Natsu over top of him, licking him, passionate groans and hot breath filling the space between them. He still had a lingering aftertaste of cinnamon filling his mouth from kissing Natsu. He couldn't keep his mind off of him. He reached down unconsciously, closing his eyes slowly. He groaned quietly, his hand covering his mouth, as he began to pump it slowly and deliberately, dragging the foreskin over the head and bringing his other hand all the way down towards his stomach. He couldn't hold it in anymore. He began to move his hand up and down his arousal frantically, losing any form of rhythm he had before.
"Nngh…" He groaned, biting down on his hand, trying to cover his moans. He felt a familiar tightness to his stomach before white ribbons spurted out onto the shower wall to be washed away by the cold water. What are you doing, Gray? Thinking of him when you're doing something like that. And he probably has a girlfriend too. He's probably keeping her a secret from the rest of the group because it's exciting for him. He's just messing with me because it's interesting to him… So, why? Why do I have to feel this way when it's pretty obvious that he's just messing with me? Gray thought as warm water trickled down his face contrasting against the cold torrents coming from the shower head. He leaned against the wall, letting the water wash over his face causing his raven hair to cover his eyes and wash away his tears. Gray sat in the shower for a while allowing the cold water to run over his back as he slowly cried himself to sleep. After about half an hour, Natsu began to worry about his roommate and knocked on the door to the bathroom.
"Gray?" He called out. "Are you okay?" He tried the knob. It was unlocked so he walked in.
"I'm coming in." He said as he opened the door slowly and crept in. He could see a blurry form behind the shower curtain. He pulled the curtain aside and was surprised to see Gray's hunched over body under the water. He turned off the shower and moved Gray into a more comfortable position, feeling how cold he was after sitting under freezing water for almost half an hour.
"Gray..?" Natsu asked, slowly picking up Gray and dragging him out of the shower.
"Are you asleep?" He questioned, lifting Gray's face to check for a pulse at his neck. He could feel a very slow but luckily steady pace. He grabbed a towel and began to dry Gray off, knowing that being wet would not help Gray recover any faster. Once Gray was dry, Natsu took the clothes Gray had gotten from the closet and began to dress him. After a while, he realized that the ones Gray had grabbed on his way to the bathroom were his. Oh well. At least it's something. Natsu thought, continuing to dress Gray in his undershirt and shorts. Natsu picked up Gray and draped his legs over one arm placing his neck delicately over his other arm and carried him over to his bed. Natsu laid Gray in his bed and crawled in next to him to heat Gray up with his body heat. Natsu checked his pulse again. Luckily, it had sped up and Gray felt warmer. The wintery smell had also gotten stronger and Natsu eventually drifted off into the warm embrace of sleep with his chest pressing into Gray's back and his arm draped over Gray's stomach. After a few hours, Gray woke up groggily, trying to look around the room. He looked to the bed next to him and noticed it was his own. His tired mind eventually realized that that meant that he was in Natsu's bed.
All he could remember from last night was passing out in the shower after crying. His face heated up in embarrassment at the thought of him, an eighteen year old college student, crying like a love-sick school girl who had just gotten rejected by her crush. He decided it would probably be best to go over to his own bed but found himself stopped by an unnaturally warm barrier. He began to get uncomfortable. He never did like the heat much and tried to push himself away from this unnatural warmth. He eventually managed to turn himself around to face whatever was creating this warmth only to find himself face to face with Natsu, so close that he could almost taste the cinnamon flavor of his mouth. Natsu looked so relaxed and peaceful with his lips slightly parted and his cheeks flushed just a bit. He looked so kissable.
Gray shook his head slightly. He couldn't be this attracted to Natsu, right? He tried to clear his thoughts by waking Natsu up.
"Natsu," He began quietly. "Natsu, wake up." That only made the situation worse. Natsu tightened his grip around Gray, causing Gray's face to press up against Natsu's neck with Natsu's chin resting on top of Gray's head. Gray could feel the vibrations from Natsu's throat when he hummed in content. He could hear Natsu sniffing deeply, smelling all of Gray. He was slightly put off by this and attempted to push Natsu away or at least push himself off the bed. But to no avail, Natsu merely tightened his hold even further as a response. Gray couldn't think of any way out of this situation. He could feel Natsu's leg wrap around his hip and a slight bulge bump against his leg. He could feel heat rise to his cheeks as a reaction.
"Natsu," He mumbled, his mouth pressed against Natsu's neck. "Come one, you idiot, wake up." His efforts were not rewarded, however and Natsu simply wrapped even more tightly around him. Gray decided to get a bit rougher and sunk his teeth into the base of Natsu's neck. Natsu's eyes snapped open in surprise and he looked down.
"Gray, you kinky bastard. It's only like eight in the morning and you're already wanting to do that?" Natsu asked teasingly, slowly unwrapping himself from Gray. Blood rushed to his cheeks in response and he began to prepare a contradiction, but Natsu stopped any thoughts of rebellion when he kissed him lightly on the forehead and smiled sweetly down at him.
"Good morning." Natsu said with a small smile gracing his face. Gray looked up in awe at the slightly flushed cheeks and the brilliant smile covering Natsu's face, all words lost as he was entranced by the beauty of it all.
"Hello?" Natsu said, waving a hand in front of Gray's face. "You know the general response to 'Good Morning' is 'Good Morning' or at least a 'Hello'." Gray snapped out of his trance and cleared his throat awkwardly. He decided to get straight to the point and ask Natsu why he was in his bed.
"Natsu, why am I- Achoo!" He began but was cut off by a loud sneeze and a bout of coughing. Natsu looked on in worry.
"Are you okay?" Natsu questioned, genuinely concerned for his roommate's health since he had been sitting under cold water for almost half an hour.
"Ugh, what do you care?" Gray countered, once again breaking into a torrent of sneezing and uncontrollable coughing.
"All you're doing is messing with me anyways.." He continued, getting off the bed to return to his own. "Just pretending to care for me because it's interesting to you." He mumbled mainly to himself. Natsu began to stand up as well but instead of pressuring Gray into accepting his feelings, he went down to the shared kitchen in the dorm to make Gray some tea and soup to help his cold.
"I guess I'll see you in a bit." Natsu said as he opened the door, carrying the things he would need to make Gray food. He received a short grunt from Gray in return. As he walked out the door, he could hear Gray readjusting himself to a more comfortable position under his cocoon of blankets and sheets. Natsu thought about how cute he was doing that as he walked down towards the kitchen. When he got back with Gray's food, he found Gray asleep in a mass of blankets with a furrowed brow and a sheen of sweat covering his face. He carefully began to extract Gray from his cocoon and place the blankets and sheets to the side. He felt Gray's forehead. It was burning, even for Natsu's unnatural resistance to heat.
"Gray..." He tried, flipping Gray onto his back so he could get more air.
"Wake up. You need to eat something to get your strength back." He continued, snapping near Gray's ear to get him to wake up. When this didn't work, he decided to wave the bowl of soup near Gray's nose to see if the smell would get him to wake up. This plan was also unsuccessful and Natsu decided to give up and let Gray rest. Luckily, they didn't have any classes today. Natsu went to the bathroom to take a shower to wake himself up more. He would need to take care of Gray for the next couple of days at least and he needed to make sure he didn't get sick himself while doing so.
