Chapter 15
…And In Health
"Hey, wake up."
Gray heard the words and felt shaking. He still felt exhausted, like he had been in a battle. As consciousness returned, he realized that the battle was with his own inner self.
Natsu stroked Gray's ebony hair back and kissed him on the forehead. "Are you feeling better now?"
"Too sleepy," he groaned. "How about you? Did you sleep okay?"
Natsu smiled placidly as he admitted, "I didn't sleep at all."
"Was I snoring?"
"No. I was up thinking."
"About what?"
A long pause passed before he confessed, "How jealous I am. So stupid."
"Natsu—"
"No, it really is stupid. I mean, all of us in the guild tease you about your past, how you used to pick up girls all the time. You were just a notch down for being as bad as Loke," he said with a tight laugh that betrayed painful emotions. "Mira used to say that when you two were partners, maybe Loke taught you some stuff, like how to pick up multiple girls at once. It never really bothered me back then. I'd laugh it off, tease you, call you a stripping pervert like everyone else. Now…" Natsu's brow wrinkled with tenseness. "Now I wonder … how many girls did you sleep with?" he cried out in exasperation. Gray began to open his mouth. "I don't want to know!" Natsu shouted, swinging his hands out. "Still, it bugs me a little. You're that experienced and … and I'm not. Like I don't deserve you."
"Natsu, don't say that."
"It was just something I was thinking about. I mean, a virgin uke and a man-whore seme: it's so cliché, it's not even funny. And now … this." He gave a long, tired sigh. Staying up all night had taken its toll. "Does the test hurt? The one to see if I have this? Do I have to … to…?"
Natsu froze up, and his eyes went huge as some horror of the past surged in on him.
Gray snapped out of his sleepiness and grabbed hold of those trembling shoulders. "Natsu!"
"I … don't … no … I can't." He shuddered hard in panic and began to hyperventilate. His eyes were massive and watering up. "I won't—"
"Calm down."
Those terrified eyes turned straight at him. "Do I have to come into a cup?" he cried out with a level of horror Gray had not yet witnessed. "He won't take my cum, right?"
"No, it's not that sort of test. Calm down. They do a blood test and a swabbing. That's all."
"Blood test?" Natsu asked, looking cautious to believe him.
"Yes, they take some blood and swab your penis. It's not that painful, and it's over in a few seconds. Calm down." He held Natsu as the adrenaline shivered out. "I'll be there with you. You can even hold my hand."
"Shut up. Just … I thought I'd have to … to—"
"It's not that sort of test."
"Okay … okay…" He let out a long sigh as his shoulders loosened. "Oh God, I hate when I'm like this."
"I know. Come here. I'll hold you this time." Gray felt in control once again as he comforted Natsu in his arms. "It's an easy test," he crooned softly. "I will be in the room, too. It'll be okay." He felt Natsu sink down in relaxation. "Are you better?"
"Yeah. Sorry. I just thought about it and … I … I freaked out. I hate this."
"I know," Gray said in understanding, stroking through his hair.
"Stop petting me!" he sneered in annoyance.
"Sorry." The grumble made Gray smile. At least it meant Natsu was pulling himself out of the darkness. "Come on. Let's get breakfast. Then we'll go to the doctor."
It was evening, Natsu still had a bandage on his arm from the blood test earlier that morning. Now, he and Gray sat in the doctor's office. Here, hidden in this sterile room, they held hands. Both were shaking slightly. Natsu realized there was a good chance at being sick. The doctor had also swabbed his throat, since he had performed fellatio on Gray, and an anal exam since he was the bottom. They wanted to make sure the bacteria was not present anywhere.
Beside him, Gray stared straight ahead with worries plaguing him. If he made Natsu sick…
The doctor stepped in, jolting them both. "Mister Natsu Dragneel?"
"Y-yes!" Natsu snapped like a child answering roll call.
"I have good news … and not so good news. The good news is, the tests were clear for both gonorrhea and trich. You don't have them."
Natsu let out a sighing laugh, and Gray hugged him with pride.
"The not-so-good news is you do test positive for human papillomavirus, or HPV."
Natsu tensed up all over again. "What the hell is that?"
"It's very common," he assured with a passive smile. "In fact, more than half of all sexually active adults have it at some point in their life. There's no cure, but it usually goes away on its own."
"Can I give that to Gray?" screamed Natsu. Now he understood how Gray had felt yesterday.
Gray spoke up, "I had the HPV vaccine as a kid. Everyone in the guild gets those vaccines. You should have as well."
Natsu's eyes dropped. "Unless I got sick before then."
Gray jolted as he realized what Natsu meant: that bad time in the past, the man who sexually abused him. Natsu still did not want to speak about everything that happened, and Gray did not push him to talk about it. Just thinking about someone sexually touching a mere child made Gray furious. Now this! Although Natsu never said precisely what happened during those weeks of torture, it was enough to have done this to him. Natsu already feared that he felt filthy and tainted because of that pervert, and now he was sick. That man had not only violated Natsu, he gave the Dragon Slayer a virus, and one that had no cure.
What sort of things had Natsu been forced to do with that man that might make him sick in this way? Thinking about it made Gray crackle in frosty rage. He realized, that must be the same anger and jealousy Natsu felt about his own days dating indiscriminately.
"What about Gray?" Natsu demanded. "He'll be okay, right?"
Gray was stunned Natsu could force himself out of that past so soon, and he realized it was only because Natsu was truly worried about him. That made Gray's cheeks warm up with happiness.
"I have a dose here of metronidazole for trich. I've also filled this bottle with the pills you must take for gonorrhea. It's vitally important that you take them on time and until you run out of pills. Gonorrhea can clear up, but only if you take the medication fully. In two weeks, we'll test you again and see if the treatment worked. If the bacteria is still present, we'll need a more rigorous approach. I don't think it'll come to that. It should clear up fine."
"Thank you." Gray immediately took the medication for trich. Might as well get that out of the way. "So what about Natsu? There's … no cure." Gray had been bolstered by the doctor's assurance that his issues could be cared for with medication. Natsu did not even have that much to hang onto.
"HPV usually goes away on its own. It's so common, you shouldn't need to worry. I would hardly bother to tell you, except certain strains of HPV can lead to complications far in the future."
"Complications?" Gray shouted. He felt the same horrific dread he had known yesterday, like tiny needles flowing through his veins and twisting in his stomach. He looked over to Natsu, but those squinty eyes were fixed on the doctor, listening without resorting to screaming, taking in the medical professional's words with calm acceptance. He was surprised Natsu did not look and feel as worried as Gray did himself.
"You must realize, there are dozens of strains of the virus, and only a few can lead to clinical complications. Sadly, there's no way to test precisely which strain Mister Dragneel has. There is a small possibility of developing cancer later in life. You're young and vigorously healthy, so you should be fine, but after the age of forty, you'll want to make sure you're screened for anal and throat cancer once a year, just to be safe. There is also a strain that can cause genital warts, a completely different type than the cancer-causing strain. If you get anything like that, come back here and we can treat it. However, like I said, only a very small percentage have any problems, and your examination this morning showed nothing abnormal. Usually, HPV is silent, dormant, and as I said, most sexually active adults have it at some point. You can get it by simply kissing."
Gray gawked. "By just kissing? That easily?"
All the horrors he had been imagining faded. That pedophile bastard could have done nothing more than kiss Natsu and gave him this virus. Hearing that made Gray feel slightly better. Sitting beside him, Natsu still had the same expression, stern but blank, listening but non-responsive.
"Don't worry, really. It'll likely clear up on its own. Well, that's all," the doctor smiled. "I wish you both happiness, and I'll see Mister Fullbuster in two weeks for testing. Good afternoon, gentlemen." Then the doctor left.
Gray collapsed into Natsu's chest. "Oh Natsu, I'm so relieved."
His eyes were still sternly forward. "I still have something," he said in a hollow tone.
"He said almost everyone gets it. I had the vaccine, so you can't give it to me. It's fine. It's … all fine." He crushed Natsu into a hug. "I was so worried. I didn't want to taint you and have you hate me."
Natsu finally relaxed out of his stiff posture. "I wouldn't have hated you even if I had caught something. Maybe I'm burning your infection out of me," he bragged lightly.
"Oh God, I hope so. I was—" Gray suddenly cracked. "I was so worried." He broke into tears.
Natsu hugged him. "I know, Gray."
"I was scared!" he shouted. "About you, about getting you sick. Just thinking about it makes me wanna scream."
"I know," he soothed. As Natsu held Gray, he felt the shuddering in those shoulders. "Let it out here."
"I'm … not crying … in a doctor's office," he blubbered wetly.
"Better to cry here than out in the middle of the street, right? It's just us in this room."
As Natsu hugged him, Gray shrank. Again, he gave up control and let Natsu console him. "I … was scared," he squeaked out from his straining throat as he jolted with sobs he tried to hold in.
"I know," Natsu whispered comfortingly. "So was I. It's okay now. I'm okay. You're gonna be okay. We'll get you healed up."
Gray snuffled up his tears, then laughed in a shivering way. "I can't have sex for two weeks."
"Well, I just can't get your cum on me, right?"
"Or put your mouth near my groin. It's skin-to-skin, so you really shouldn't touch me down there at all."
"We could do … other things … can't we?"
Gray looked up in confusion. "I dunno."
"We need to ask."
Gray leaped up and opened the door. "Doctor!"
"Yes, gentlemen?"
"We have a question." Gray looked out into the hall at the nurses and realized there were other patients around. "Can you come into the room?"
The doctor entered, and Gray shut the door. The doctor glanced around at the two young men.
"We wanna know," Gray blurted out. "Can we…? Oh God, this is embarrassing to ask. Can we still do … some stuff? If I'm careful, of course, and if I don't get anything on him?"
The doctor sighed as he maintained his professional comportment. "I would not recommend it, but I suppose if you wear a condom the whole time and the penis is not inserted anywhere, since even the preseminal fluid can contain the bacteria. It's best if Mister Dragneel does not come into contact with the skin around the genital area at all. Preferably, if Mister Fullbuster masturbated while Mister Dragneel watched without direct participation, or wearing a latex glove. That way, physical contact with the bacteria in that region is less likely."
Natsu asked, "What about other areas?"
Both the doctor and Gray looked over and asked together, "Other areas?"
"Yeah, like it's okay if I give him a normal back or foot massage, right? Just don't touch his cock."
"Or the anus," the doctor warned. "I would also recommend that you don't put your fingers in Mister Fullbuster's mouth. Contracting the bacteria that way is rare, but it can happen."
"But I can suck on his fingers, right?" Natsu asked. "He just can't suck on mine."
"Only if his hands are clean and have not been in contact with his genitals."
"What about his toes?"
The doctor raised an eyebrow. "Toes?"
"Toes?" Gray shouted in shock. What the hell was this flame-brain plotting?
"I can suck his toes, right? Or he could suck mine?"
Gray felt a jolt in his pants as he imagined what Natsu was talking about.
The doctor thought about it seriously. "To be honest, I don't think I've ever read of a case where gonorrhea was transmitted via the feet. The toes are too small to reach the pharynx. Assuming his foot was not in direct contact with his genitals—which would be quite a flexible move—then sucking on the toes should not pose a threat."
"Okay, so what about me?" Natsu asked. "I have that virus."
"A virus that over half of humans get," the doctor assured. "I've had it. My wife has had it. My eldest son tested positive for it before the vaccine came out. Often, HPV lives in the body undetected and perfectly harmless. Your pelvic examination this morning showed no outward signs. You are healthy and asymptomatic. Since your partner is vaccinated, it should be fine. However, I highly urge abstinence while Mister Fullbuster is undergoing treatment. The fact that Mister Dragneel is not infected despite being a sexual partner is, frankly, quite shocking. You're a lucky man, but don't push your luck."
Sternly, Gray decided, "I'm not going to let him get sick. But I can … touch him, right? I know he shouldn't touch me, but can I still touch him safely?"
"Make sure your hands are cleaned with antibacterial soap, no cuts or hang nails, and only your hands. Even if Mister Dragneel were to use a condom—"
Natsu suddenly flinched and gagged down a cry. Gray heard and turned to him. Condoms! That man in the past must have used things like condoms to help him collect sperm from Natsu.
"Natsu, calm down," he whispered.
The doctor stepped forward in professional concern. "Are you feeling ill?"
"It's fine," Gray snapped. "Sorry, doctor, but this is something that doesn't fall under your credentials. Give us a moment and we'll be gone. Thank you very much, truly."
"If you say so. Good day, gentlemen."
Once the doctor was gone, Gray fully hugged Natsu. "Are you okay?"
"Y-yeah," he shuddered. "Just … when he said that—"
"It's going to be fine. My poor dragon!" he cooed softly, squeezing Natsu. "I'm right here. I'll take care of you."
Tossing his care and well-being to Gray was like that time, with the collar and leash. "What do I do, kainushi?"
Gray heard the rare submissive pitch to Natsu's words. He was the dominant, so it was his responsibility. "You don't have to worry. Leave it to me."
"Do I have to come in a condom? Coming inside something … I … I can't … I can't do that."
"We obviously won't do that to you." He stroked the pink hair and held Natsu as his fears slowly dissipated. "I'll take care of you. I won't let you get sick, and I won't make you do anything that's scary, even if that means I can't come for two weeks."
Natsu looked up with a slight pout. "Wanna go back to your place?"
Gray wished he could take Natsu home and spend the whole night easing his fears, but he still had some responsibilities. "I need to go see Cana before it gets too late."
"Cana?"
"About … about me. About the infection."
"Why…? Oh." Natsu frowned and looked aside. "You and her?"
"A one-time thing, before the lady who I think gave me this, but it'd be unethical not to warn her anyway in case I caught this earlier. However, she'll complain. Whether if she's infected or not, she'll tell the whole guild. I can just imagine her shouting to everyone 'Gray's got gonorrhea.' Everyone will think I'm such a slut, I got what I deserved, and maybe they're right—"
"No, don't say that."
"I don't want anyone to think you also have this, or heaven forbid, if they think you were the one who gave it to me." He stroked Natsu's head gently. "I don't want anyone—not even yourself—to think you're filthy." Then he gave Natsu a kiss on the forehead. "I know we wanted to tell the guild about us, but I don't think this is the best moment to come out. When I'm better, we'll tell everyone. I really don't want to keep it secret anymore, but … this is going to be a really bad time for me. Let me deal with the repercussions on my own. I…" He looked away with a stern brow. "I need to do this much on my own. I need to take responsibility, and I don't want to drag you into my mess. Not for this."
Natsu looked down and nodded. He wanted to help Gray, but Natsu knew quite well that there are moments when a person had to fight their battle alone. "You can still stay at my house. I asked Happy, and he's fine with it."
"Thanks, but I heard him asking if I was pregnant. I don't want him to think I'm trying to infect you. Plus, quite honestly, I'd be too tempted." He put his hand on Natsu's head and bent to look into his lowered face. "I'm really sorry, but I need to stay away from you."
"What? Why? We can still do things," he argued, realizing he sounded whiny and desperate. "The doctor said so. At least you can touch me. You can still tie me up. That's safe. It'll just take a few adjustments, a few limitations. We can work with that."
"Natsu…" Gray shook his head sadly. "You're too much of a temptation, and I'm not a strong-willing man. If I give in just a little bit, I'll want all of you."
Natsu wanted to be sad hearing that, but Gray's reason for staying away made him a bit happy. Knowing the ice wizard was—what was the word he once used?—enthralled by him made Natsu feel smug. Gray was addicted to him. He had made Gray into his little sex slave.
It made him want Gray even more.
"We should free up this room," Gray realized. "I'm heading to the guild. You should go home. I know you too well, and if people start making fun of me, you'll get defensive and try to beat them all up."
"I wanna be there when they find out," Natsu said stubbornly. Gray opened his mouth to protest, but the Dragon Slayer had a gleam in his eyes. "I want to be the one to call you man-whore first. You teased me when everyone thought I got dumped by my girlfriend. Time for me to tease you back."
"Don't fight anyone," Gray warned. "Don't protect me."
"You're on your own, I get it," he assured. "When it's over, or when you can't take anymore ridicule, stay at my house. Not the whole time you're sick, but just tonight. It's been a hell of a day, and I need you there. You keep the nightmares away."
"Idiot, you didn't listen to a word I said."
"I did, but I'm saying I need you tonight. You can hide away in an ice cave after that, but … just for tonight. I want to hold you. Nothing kinky."
"Fine," Gray sighed, but he was glad to know Natsu wanted to stay beside him through this. He muttered petulantly, "Thank you."
"I'll go first," Natsu decided. "I need to talk to Happy to make sure he doesn't say anything about us. Come in a few minutes after me." Then Natsu jumped off the examination table and hurried out of the doctor's office.
Gray took a moment to brace himself … and find his shirt, which had once again gone missing. The best scenario was that Cana would take the news well and want to keep the whole thing a secret.
Of course, this was Fairy Tail. Best scenarios never happened here.
When Gray arrived at the guild hall, Cana was in the middle of a drinking contest with Bacchus as her opponent. The whole guild cheered, but Cana looked wasted already, while Bacchus was just a bit flushed. Gray had to stand to the sidelines and watch until Cana finally fell backwards with a drunken whoop as she passed out.
"I win," Bacchus declared. "I'm taking my prize." He hefted Cana up and slung her over his shoulder.
"Wait!" Gray yelled. "I need to talk to Cana."
Bacchus grinned down at Gray. "You can see her in the morning, after I'm done with her."
"No!" Gray shouted, realizing with horror what Cana must have agreed to as a prize. "Look, I have to talk to Cana right now. It's really important."
Bacchus moaned and tossed the fully unconscious woman at Gray with almost no regard. "Fine, if you can wake her. I give ya until I finish the barrel she didn't drink." Bacchus flopped back onto the alcohol-covered table and took up Cana's barrel.
Gray hurried Cana to the medical room and got sniffing salts to wake her up. Then, although he doubted she fully understood anything, he told Cana the truth. He emphasized that he thought he caught it after the two of them had sex, but there was no way for him to know for sure. Purely to be safe, she should get tested. Cana listened without saying anything. She nodded, she agreed that she should get tested, and she thanked him for coming forward and being honest. Then she stood up, wobbling only slightly. Gray let her lean on him as they walked back out into the main hall.
Suddenly, Cana bellowed loud enough for half of Magnolia to hear: "Sorry, Bacchus. I can't fuck you tonight. Gray gave me gonorrhea."
That started a small riot. Gray had never felt so despised. People sneered at him. Some of the women scoffed that he got what he deserved, and they were glad they had not slept with him. Cana was practically gloating about their one night together, saying hurtful things like "He wasn't worth it; he didn't even last long enough." Lucy stomped up and slapped Gray across the cheek for being irresponsible. Erza held the blonde's hand back from doing anything more than that. The Titania pulled Gray aside, away from the harsh insults. However, her words hurt worse.
"You've put a lot of people in danger with your recklessness, Gray. I am very disappointed in you."
Ouch … like a sword through the heart!
Her next words were softer. "However, the fact that you got tested and even took responsibility by telling Cana shows you really are a mature person. For that, I'm proud of you. Have you told your other lovers?"
His eyes drifted, but he did not see pink hair anywhere in the crowd. "I've only told one other, but I'll try to find the rest tomorrow."
"That's good. What about your girlfriend?"
He flinched. Just yesterday, he had almost come right out and told Erza that the person he was interested in was not a girl at all, but their very own Salamander. Now, Gray felt a terrifyingly desperate need to protect Natsu's reputation by not dragging the guy down along with him.
"We just got back from the doctor. The results were negative, and I think we're not breaking up."
"I'm really glad she's not sick. She must really love you if she can forgive you. Hang on to that one."
Gray smiled with a small blush. "I definitely plan to."
Just then, someone shouted out, "We should put an article in the newspaper. Gray's probably slept with half the women in town."
"Not just this town," another person shouted. "Call up Sorcerer Weekly. How many cities has Gray screwed around in? How many wizards in other guilds?"
"Uh-oh! Warn Blue Pegasus!" someone laughed.
"I need to get out of here," Gray growled.
Erza told him one last thing. "Take a couple weeks off. If you have trouble paying your rent, just tell me. The team can take bonus missions to help you out. I'll talk to Lucy, too. Hitting you like that was out of line. I don't know where Natsu went, though. He was here a minute ago, but he took off. Maybe he's planning on confronting you outside. Be careful around him. Don't get into a fight."
"I won't," he said, holding back a smile. At least no one had a clue Gray and Natsu were together. He wanted to protect Natsu as much as possible.
Gray had hoped to see Natsu waiting outside, but he was not there. He looked around the streets, but nothing. Natsu had said he wanted to hold Gray tonight, but then he vanished. Gray wanted the Dragon Slayer's warm embrace right now, but he also felt like just being alone to wallow in self-hatred. He had no clue which home to head to: Natsu's or his own.
His need for Natsu must have been greater than he imagined, because he found his steps taking him out of town and along the path to the little hut in the woods. When he came near, he heard shouting from inside.
"Happy, really, it's okay."
"It's not okay," the squeaky voice of the Exceed protested angrily. "Gray is with Cana."
"He's not with Cana."
"But he gave her a sex disease."
"It wasn't like that, Happy. Gray caught that from someone else."
"And then he gave it to Cana. They slept together. Natsu, I know what a STD is. I'm not stupid. I don't want you to get sick. Besides, Gray sleeps around. He's gonna hurt you."
"He … he won't."
To Gray's surprise, Natsu did not sound fully convinced. Did he really worry about Gray's fidelity?
"He's just barely less bad than Loke," Happy argued.
"Loke is loyal to Lucy."
"I saw him kissing another girl last week. He's not loyal. Gray won't be either."
Gray felt like bursting in there and defending himself, but Natsu shouted quicker.
"Gray might have slept around in the past, but that doesn't mean he cheats on anyone he really loves."
"You don't know if he loves you. Have you told him how you feel?"
"I … that is … y-yeah, I told him."
"Did Gray say he also loves you?"
"He … well … no, but he said he … he … cares for me."
"Natsu, that's not love."
"It could be. If the caring is strong enough."
"If you tell him you love him, and he only says he cares for you, then he doesn't love you. Please, Natsu, I don't want to see your heart get broken."
"He doesn't have to say it to feel it."
"Yes he does! How else could you know?"
Gray listened, but he heard nothing, no retort, no defensive explanation. He realized, Natsu obviously did not want to get into all Gray had done to show his feelings.
"Natsu, he doesn't love you…"
Gray had heard enough. He burst into the house and glared at the two of them. "I do!" he shouted. "About what you're talking about: I feel that way."
Happy blinked in surprise. "Do you really love Natsu?"
Gray looked at the equally stunned Dragon Slayer and whispered, "Yes." He gulped hard. Even just answering a question like that was terrifying. He half expected a monster to crash through the house and suddenly crush Natsu under its massive foot.
Happy now looked angry. "Then why did you sleep with other girls?"
"That happened before I fell … fell in … before I began to feel this way." He cursed himself inside for not being able to say the words. "I'm sorry, Natsu. For not being able to tell you properly … I'm sorry." Gray gulped hard and fisted up his hands stubbornly. "I like you … and I need you. I care for you … and I want to tell you the other, but it still terrifies me. The more I feel that way, the more it scares me, because I feel more and more that I can't lose you."
"I understand," Natsu assured him.
"I don't want you to get sick, so I won't do anything. Happy, please, don't tell anyone about us until I finish my treatment. I want to tell the guild. I want to tell everyone. But not while I'm sick. I don't want to shame Natsu. Just being around a man like me is shameful…"
Natsu bolted forward and hugged Gray. "Don't say that!"
Gray looked over to Happy, worried how the Exceed might respond to a hug like this, physical proof that he and Natsu were more than just teammates and rivals. Happy politely looked away, picking something in his nails. He was giving them a moment together, and Gray realized just how good of a friend Happy was to the flame-brain.
Natsu sighed as he embraced Gray. "I'm not ashamed to be in love with you. I left the guild because Happy flew off in anger, not because I was mad at you. He knows I have feelings for you, and he thought you betrayed me. He was just a little angry."
"I can understand that," Gray muttered, remembering how last night, it was Natsu in a fury as he thought Gray must have cheated on him. "That's why I don't want anyone to know yet."
"I get it," Natsu muttered sadly. "This'll be hard enough on you. I don't want to make it worse. And wow, Lucy left a huge hand print on your cheek. She slaps hard!"
"Yeah, and if she or Erza thought I'd try to seduce you while I have this infection…"
"Oooh," Natsu realized, trembling a little, and even Happy shivered at the thought of Erza's wrath. "Yeah, that would be bad. Then we'll keep this secret a little longer." Natsu looked back to his cat. "Is that okay, Happy?"
"Aye, sir. Erza can get really scary."
Gray pouted and muttered, "I'm just glad she wasn't the one who slapped me. I'd still be unconscious."
"Stay here," Natsu insisted. "At least for tonight. You still haven't eaten dinner."
"Aye!" Happy nodded. "I bought you juice, and I did extra fishing today because Natsu said you were going to stay, and fish is really good when you're sick."
"Fine, fine," Gray laughed, giving up any attempts to protest this. Then he sighed with happiness he did not want to fully show, because if he did, he just might cry. All he could say was, "Thanks, you two."
Happy grinned brightly. "I'm just glad you're not pregnant."
Gray blushed awkwardly. "Uh … yeah. Me too."
"If you and Natsu had kids, they'd look really funny. I also think Magnolia wouldn't last long. But you'd make a really good mommy, Gray."
Natsu stood to the side, laughing loudly at Gray's flustered face.
