I reference my fanfic "Cat Bath." Lucy's "shower cure" for Loke's fear of water is described in juicy detail there.
I want to thank James on "Rhov Anion's Minions" for reminding me that Natsu has motion sickness. Sheesh, I'm such a scatterbrain sometimes. Then he gave me ideas on working around that issue. So I named a character in this chapter after him. You're a lifesaver, James! (And I'm an idiot.)
Chapter 36
Ferris Wheel Fun
Days passed after clearing things up with Juvia. She stayed away, and later they heard that she took an extended mission, teaming up with her old guild mate Gajeel and the members of Shadow Gear—of course, Levy would want to go with Gajeel on any long mission.
During that time, Natsu and Gray kept their relationship simple. There was still awkwardness and private issues. When Lucy came up and asked if they wanted to do a mission, Natsu was fine and bubbly until the blonde put her hand on his shoulder. Then Natsu flinched slightly, not enough for anyone else to notice, but Gray saw the tightness in his eyes as he cautiously stared at her hand placement. Once while sitting around a client's home, Gray just rested his hand on Natsu's knee, and the Dragon Slayer pulled back sharply, before he saw just who had touched him. Gray also realized that Natsu was taking showers far less frequently, and he refused to swim in the guild pool. Their excursion in the river had helped some, but not fully.
"Gray," Erza snapped one day, yanking him out of drowsy boredom, nearly falling asleep on a table in the guild hall. "Whatever you did to Natsu, cheer him up!"
"Huh? What the hell? I didn't do anything," he protested.
"Well, he's been depressed for days. You're his boyfriend; haven't you noticed that?"
He had, and he wondered how many more had noticed but just did not say anything.
"Do something about it," she demanded.
Gray felt that was really unfair. He knew why Natsu was down, why he jumped when people touched him, and why he avoided showers unless Gray was there with him. He was probably the only person who fully understood just why Natsu was acting so strangely. So although it was not his fault, he really did want to cheer Natsu up again.
"Hey Erza," he muttered. "If someone hates water, how do you cure that?"
"Ask Loke. I heard he had a fear of water and Lucy cured it."
"He told me," Gray grumbled. Loke had boasted about Lucy's sensual shower cure for weeks.
"The best way to cure a fear is to face it." She firmly stabbed a fork into her strawberry cake.
"Face it," he mumbled. "Hey, how should I cheer up Natsu?"
"How should I know?" sighed Erza. "That boy eludes me sometimes."
"Come on, give me an idea. What cheers you up?"
"Cake." She ate another mouthful.
"Yeeeeah … um, besides cake."
"Vacations."
Gray blinked and tilted his head. "Vacations?"
"Getting away, going somewhere nice, relaxing, especially with someone close to me. Remember our vacation to the resort and casino?"
"You mean the vacation to Akane Resort that was ruined when you were kidnapped to the Tower of Heaven?"
"Before that part. The casino was nice, right?"
"I … guess." Gray remembered seeing Erza get captured, watching Natsu get shot in the face, and escaping death by hiding inside Juvia's water body. That had not been nice at all.
"Vacations and dessert." Erza spoke as if ordering him to obey a command of mandatory fun.
Gray stroked his chin. "Vacation … dessert … water?" Something perverted came into his mind, and Gray began to snicker. "Thanks, Erza. I think I know how to cheer up Natsu." He tilted back his mug to finish his drink.
"Good. Take him somewhere nice, buy him something good to eat, and bring lots of lube."
Gray spit all the drink right out, spraying Kinana and drenching her dress. "Erza!" he screamed, turning bright red. "Sorry, Kinana," he said offhandedly.
"You're thinking along those lines too, right?" she reasoned casually.
"D-Don't say that sort of thing out loud! Sheesh."
Erza merely shrugged and took another bite of cake.
Two days later, Gray left a message with the guild for Natsu to come meet him at his house. When Mira told him, Natsu figured Gray must finally want some kinky time together. They had been pretty tame for over a week already, just a few small dates and occasional making out.
Once, Gray could hardly go three days without sex. He was either taming down, or he was being extra cautious, and Natsu was not sure which was the case. Gray had not asked Natsu to go to his house, since it seemed like that was reserved for their special nights.
As Natsu made the trek to Gray's place, he wondered what to do. He was not really in the mood for anything kinky. He knew he had been despondent, and he felt bad for Gray, considering the man's insatiable libido. However, Natsu really did need some time to himself. He tried to assure Gray that what happened with Juvia was over, they had cleared it up, and he was fine; however, deep down inside, he was not fine at all. The incident had stirred up new memories, things he was not sure he had ever remembered before.
Water … wetness … blood and water mixed on the floor… Rain? A leaky roof? Whose blood? The memories were so hazy, he could not recall more than flashes, but they made him shiver deep inside in a way his normal flashbacks never did.
He did not feel like being tied up, humiliated, or hit when he was feeling this way.
Maybe Gray would understand. He had been patient so far. If they could cuddle instead…
Prepared to disappoint Gray, Natsu reluctantly knocked on the door. He expected the ice wizard to answer with that sensual look in his eyes that said he wanted to tie Natsu to the bed and make him beg for more. Instead, Gray opened the door and smiled normally.
"Cool, you made it. Come on in."
Natsu hesitated. Gray sounded too chirpy for his usual dominating personality. What was he up to? Being cautious, Natsu stepped inside.
"Thirsty? Tea?"
"I'm good," Natsu replied softly. Gray had walked off toward the kitchen anyway. "So, what's up?"
"Huh? Oh!" Gray came back with two teacups already prepared. Natsu guessed he must have been staring out the window and watching the sidewalk so that he could pour the tea out and be ready so quickly. "Nothing much. Here."
Natsu was about to snap that he had said he did not want tea, but he took the cup anyway. It smelled good, and he took a sip. Ginger? Anise star? Cayenne? When the hell did Gray get a spice tea like this? He hated this stuff! And Natsu loved it. He sniffed harder. Gray had some mint green tea, and he noticed it was not steaming like his own cup. Cold tea, of course. Gray's favorite tea, and Natsu's favorite, served just how both liked it, and obviously prepared ahead of time. This seemed too set up, and it put Natsu on edge.
Gray set his teacup on the table. "I, um … I got you something."
"Got me something?"
"It's almost our three-month anniversary."
Natsu nearly dropped his cup. When the hell did Gray remember things like anniversaries? He couldn't even remember Natsu's birthday! For that matter, Natsu really had no clue what day they hooked up. He wanted to ask when Gray considered them to be a couple—was it the first night they spent together, having wild sex in this apartment, with Natsu losing his virginity to Gray in the shower—or was it the following day, when Gray actually asked Natsu to be his boyfriend? However, Natsu truly could not remember which days those had been. How did Gray know? Or was he guessing?
"I thought we should celebrate."
Now Natsu smelled nervousness. This whole thing was so strange.
What the hell is this ice idiot planning?
"I … um … I got…"
Gray felt flustered. He had tried to plan out what to say, how to make this romantic. Invite Natsu over so they could be alone, have his favorite tea to keep him calm and happy, he had to check his bank account for the night of the love hotel, and he decided that although that was the night he actually asked, they really had become a couple the evening before. Natsu might get upset if Gray did not count that first night. So he wanted this to be all planned out, the perfect romantic surprise.
Now, he felt overwhelmed. The words he had prepared suddenly left his head. He felt his control over the situation spiraling. In a fluster, he reached into his back pocket, yanked out two tickets, and thrust them at Natsu.
"What?" asked the poor, confused Dragon Slayer as he took the slips of paper.
"I want you to know, I looked all over Fiore for the perfect place," Gray shouted to hide his embarrassment. "It's an amusement park, which I figured we'd both like. They sell motion sickness charms, so even an idiot like you could go on the rides. It's up north in the mountains, and I figured I'd like the weather there, so even if this supposed motion sickness charm doesn't work, maybe we can go play in the snow, have a snowball fight or something. There's a resort next to the park, and they have a natural hot spring, and I know you like those. So see! It works out for both of us."
Natsu stared down at the tickets in shock. They were for a three-day pass to the amusement park, with hotel suite included. Natsu had no idea how much this would have cost, and as Gray explained the location, it really was a perfect blend for the two of them.
The last thing he wanted to do was act like some idiot and cry, but the tears gathered in his eyes.
"Y-You … planned a vacation? For our anniversary?"
Gray sighed in relief that Natsu looked overwhelmed. At least it put them on equal footing. "I wanted to do something special. We've had a hell of a rough ride through these past few months. You've put up with some crappy stuff. So have I. We both deserve this."
Natsu blinked rapidly, refusing to let the tears fall. "Gray…" His voice trembled with emotion. "This … y-you … You did something romantic!"
Gray shrugged, trying to be casual about it. "I'm trying."
Natsu twirled around and leaped into Gray's arms. "You're pretty awesome, for a pervy snowman."
"You're not so bad either, for a flame-brain retard."
They laughed and rubbed noses together.
"You'll have to put up with the train ride. I looked into buying one of those motion sickness charms beforehand, but the magic is temporary, only lasts like twelve hours. We have to buy them at the amusement park."
Natsu rested his cheek against Gray's shoulder. "I can put up with that much, if you're there to clean me up when I puke."
"Well aren't you the romantic one!" Gray scoffed softly, not minding the silliness.
"You're awesome, Gray. I love you!"
Although Gray could not say the words back, he felt proud to hear that. Three months ago, Natsu never would have called him awesome, let alone be hugging him out of love. Even the beginning of their relationship was a struggle, pure physical gratification and not much emotional completion. They learned so much about one another, they fell deeply in love, they both had improved with their personal demons, and although they still had struggles, somehow they had lasted three months. That was longer than most of Gray's past relationships.
He owed Erza one for giving him the idea.
After a train ride, puking and moaning the whole time that this was the worst vacation ever, Natsu cheered up as soon as he saw the amusement park. He almost just ran off to the first ride, but Gray dragged him over to a line for the motion sickness charms. As they waited, they saw that everyone buying these were parents getting them for their little children.
"I told you, you're like a kid, getting sick on even a simple ride," Gray teased him.
Natsu folded his arms sullenly. "Shut up. Not my fault. All Dragon Slayers have motion sickness."
"So lame."
"Like you're any better! Where's your shirt?"
Gray looked down and realized he had lost his coat and shirt … again. Natsu wandered off and came back with the clothes.
"Sheesh. There are little children in this place, so try to stay dressed." Then Natsu leaned up into his ear and whispered hotly. "Or should I leave marks all over your body to remind you not to be a pervert around anyone but me?"
Gray turned sharply at him, cheeks cherry red, and Natsu pulled away with a smug, satisfied face.
"You bastard!"
"Language, Gray. There are kids around."
They finally got up to the front of the line. Gray looked at the man selling the charms.
"One motion sickness charm."
"Sure thing. That's ten thousand Jewels. I need to put the charm on the kid."
Gray thumbed back at Natsu. "It's for this baby."
"Hey!" the Dragon Slayer snapped. "Who're you calling a baby, asshole!"
"Look who needs to watch his language, idiot."
The charm seller blinked at them. "Wait, it's for an adult? Um … these charms are set to work for the size of a child. Hold on. James!" he bellowed behind him. "What do I do if the motion sickness charm is for an adult?"
"See," Gray said mockingly to Natsu. "They don't even make these for adults. You're just a kid with motion sickness."
"Shut up!"
A man came forward and eyed Natsu up and down. "I've seen you in Sorcerer Magazine. The Dragon Slayer, eh? Well, the charm works based on size and weight. You're not that tall—"
Gray coughed a laugh into his hand as Natsu flared at the insult.
"—but those muscles will add weight. Still, two charms should last you twelve hours. If you start to feel sick, come back and get a third. I'll even give it to you for free, since you're the guys who won the Grand Magic Games."
"Knowing this idiot, he probably will need all three," Gray muttered.
"Then I'll toss it in now, so you don't have to come back and waste your fun day here. Let me see your wrist." Natsu held out his arm for the man. James took his hand and pulled his arm forward. "Hmm, nice build."
Gray glared, wondering if this charm seller was daring to flirt with his boyfriend.
"The charm is a bracelet, but you've got muscular wrists, as I'd expect from such a renown fighter."
Natsu turned his head around and stuck his tongue out at Gray.
"Two charms combined are too big for a wrist, but they'd work on the ankle, since it's wider. Hold up your leg."
Natsu popped his foot up, and the man measured the charms around his ankle. As the man touched Natsu's ankle to get a measurement, Gray noticed that the Dragon Slayer blushed and looked uncomfortable. He was still having issues with people touching him, plus Gray knew that Natsu was sensitive about his feet.
A jealous thought fluttered into Gray's mind. Was Natsu perhaps getting aroused by this charm seller touching his ankles? The apprentice, who was now selling to the next person in line, rubbed his arms as a frosty chill emanated off of the Ice-Make wizard.
James raised up from the foot in satisfaction. "Good, they'll fit. I can take two of the charms and connect them to make one adult-sized anklet, but the third you'll have to keep in a pocket, preferably on the opposite side of the ankle. So, wear the anklet on the left leg and keep the third charm in the right pocket, got it? That should also cover top to bottom of the body."
"Thank you for doing this, sir," Gray said as the man began to adjust the bracelet charms and reform the two into one larger item. He then tied the charm around Natsu's ankle.
"We get motion sick adults sometimes. It's just too rare to keep adult-sized charms. Still, this should help. That'll be twenty thousand Jewels."
Gray paid while Natsu put the tiny third bracelet deep into his pocket, so it would not fall out on the rides. He felt no different, but he was still on solid ground.
Gray turned to him and grinned. "Shall we test it on something simple? Merry-go-round?"
"That's totally for kids."
"Then it's perfect for you."
"Shut up! I wanna go on that." Natsu pointed to the biggest roller coaster in the park, including multiple loops and drops.
"If this doesn't work, you can't get off the ride."
"If it does work, we need to go on all the fast rides first while the charm is in full effect."
"I'm not chancing getting kicked out of the park because you're puking everywhere. A small ride first, then we'll try something bigger."
Natsu folded his arms stubbornly, but Gray was the one who bought the tickets and the charms. He decided to give in to what Gray wanted.
They went on the merry-go-round. Natsu sat on a seat carved into the figure of a dragon, and Gray sat on a polar bear. Although he had complained, Natsu laughed as soon as the ride started up. It was pretty rare for him to ride a merry-go-round. Gray smiled at his beaming face, glad to see him having fun.
After that, they hit ride after ride, racing from one roller coaster to the next until they came off one and even Gray felt dizzy. Then they ate carnival food until their stomachs swelled: shish kabobs, takoyaki, hot dogs, giant pickles, funnel cake, cotton candy, some food Natsu had never heard of before but he ate it anyway.
They rested their stomachs by watching a show, laughing at the comedy act. While sitting in the audience, Gray discreetly reached over, and feeling those icy fingers against his thigh, Natsu reached over and held his hand. They glanced at one another, and for a moment, it was like they were alone. This was a date, a real date, more than just eating and walking around town. Natsu's cheeks began to blush, and Gray's heart beat faster.
Being together, being in love, having fun together … like any normal couple
Gray found himself beginning to lean in, wanting those lips, until something happened on stage and the crowd burst into laughter. Gray jolted back, and Natsu suddenly snapped out of his daze. They both blushed and looked back at the actors, hearts pounding frantically. However, they did not stop holding hands.
Once they had rested from lunch, it was ride after ride again, sometimes going on the same ride twice, racing around the exit, back into the entrance, and up the queue to the ride again.
For Natsu, who normally could never ride these sorts of things, that day was truly unique. He had way more fun than he could remember having in a long, long time. He and Gray laughed until their lungs hurt, screamed on rides until their voices went hoarse, and ran around until the anklet began to chaff against Natsu's skin.
Then the sun began to set. The amusement part had a massive tower with a restaurant built on the top, in a building that slowly rotated, letting the diners get a bird's-eye view of the mountains. Gray took Natsu there, although the prices of the food made him hiss, knowing he would need to do a lot of missions to make up for this.
Natsu looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the park, the resort beyond, the hot springs, and further away was a lake and forest set against the mountains.
Three months! Yet somehow, this felt like their first official date. At least, it was their first date outside of Magnolia.
"Are you feeling okay?" Gray asked when he saw Natsu staring and not eating. The restaurant was technically moving, although it was so slow, Gray could not feel it.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Natsu assured, smiling across the table. He reached over and held Gray's hand. "Guess I'm just thinking."
"That's rare for you." The jab was not met with an insult. Natsu just glanced out at the sunset again. "So, thinking about what?"
"Us?" he guessed. "It's been crazy, right?"
"That's an understatement."
"We've lasted, though. Did you think we would?"
"Honestly? No. Not more than a couple weeks. Not at first, at least."
"Me neither," Natsu admitted, glancing at the crimson rays of the last few minutes of sunlight. "Pretty lame, right? We didn't even have faith in ourselves. I thought that night was just … a thing. Just once. But then the next night, it happened again. And then more. And then we were dating. You took care of me when I got sick, and we did more and more, and then I told you about … me … my past. And I found out about you, why you're so cautious about your emotions. And then the sickness. That sucked! And then telling everyone, and then Juvia, and now … now it's just … us. Just us, and we're a couple, and everyone knows, and it's all okay."
Gray squeezed his hand. "It really has been tough. But you know, it's just begun. We have lots more to figure out about each other, and we still have a ways to go personally." Gray still wanted to feel like he could say those three words to Natsu. If he could just say that, he would be truly happy.
"I hope there aren't any more major issues."
"There's always something," Gray reasoned, "but that's what makes two people stronger. We fight together and defeat whatever comes up. It makes us a couple: working together."
Natsu clutched tighter on those cold hand. "Thank you, Gray. For staying by me, for working with me through things, for … everything. I think if it was anyone else, I would have bolted right away. Since it's you, it's okay."
Gray chuckled softly. "Since it's me, huh?"
"Well, yeah."
"Heh! I guess I'm glad you came to my place that night."
Natsu smiled and blushed, remembering their first night. "I actually went there because I figured it'd annoy you."
"It did." Gray squeezed those hot fingers tightly. "And you've been bothering me night and day for the past three months, always on my mind … always burning in my heart."
Natsu's mouth dropped, shocked to hear Gray say something that romantic. It was so completely unlike him, and it made tears sting Natsu's eyes. Underneath the table, his foot rubbed up against Gray's leg, caressing him secretively, just as the sun dipped down behind the snowy mountains.
Night settled in quickly in the north. The magic of the motion sickness charm was beginning to wane. Slow rides were fine, but when Natsu tried one of the fast ones, he came off pale and holding his mouth. They decided to just do one more ride. Since it was night, of course they had to try out the ferris wheel.
It was quite a large wheel, with many enclosed baskets taking the riders high into the thin mountain air. Natsu and Gray climbed into a basket together and began a slow rise as more passengers got on. Then the wheel began to spin slowly, letting them looked out at the lights of the amusement park.
"It's been an awesome day," Gray sighed. His feet were hurting already.
"This is perfect, Gray," Natsu declared. He leaned in tight against the ice wizard's shoulder. "It's really romantic. Thank you."
"I'm glad," Gray sighed in relief. He really had wanted to create a time of just romance, after Natsu put up with all of his crazy kinks.
Natsu took Gray's hand, lifted the cold fingers to his burning lips, and gave his knuckles a kiss. Gray chuckled at how sweet that was. Then, to Gray's surprise, Natsu placed that hand over his crotch.
"What—?"
"Just a little," Natsu whispered.
Gray looked over in astonishment. He had been fighting the urge to kiss Natsu on rides all day. Now, he felt a stiff arousal in the loose pants. Natsu was really turned on.
"Please. Just a little."
"Natsu," Gray sighed. He stroked the length through the clothes and heard a low hum.
"Look ahead," Natsu said, nodding to the basket just in front. As the wheel turned, they got a brief view. A young man and woman were kissing heavily in their basket, hands all over one another. "Sloppy."
"Indeed," Gray whispered, stroking harder as he watched those two making out. "Do you know what I would love?"
"What?"
"To suck you off on this ride." Gray laughed. "I wouldn't, though. Too dangerous. These ride operators would freak out if my head suddenly dropped down. Too bad you can't wear a condom. I could stroke you off in your clothes."
Natsu's eyes drooped sadly. He knew, although it had been three months, they had a ways to go.
"Can I…?" Gray's hand went to Natsu's waistband.
"Just a little," Natsu warned again.
"I know. Just wanna."
His hand slid inside the clothes, and as the icy fingers touched his flushed arousal, Natsu shuddered a moan.
"Quiet."
"Anyone would think it's the couple in front of us."
"True, I guess. Still, I don't want anyone to hear how sexy you sound."
Gray's thumb swiped over the head, streaking away a pearl of moisture. He stroked down just the first few inches, restricted by clothes and their positions. As those icy touches covered his hot flesh, Natsu's hands drew up into trembling fists.
"Ever—nnngh—do this in a ferris wheel?"
"Nope." Gray smirked, and he tilted Natsu's head over. "A first."
He gave the Dragon Slayer a deep kiss just as their basket neared the apex of the ride. Then as they rode down the descent, he pulled back. They would be visible to the crowd below, so they had to be careful. Still, the basket's door shielded from view anything going on below their chests. His wrist kept jerking, drawing up more heat and tightly suppressed moans.
Natsu's face hid down into his scarf, ashamed to imagine what people might think if they saw him this flushed. He glanced out and saw the lady operating the ferris wheel. Sure enough, she was watching the ride carefully, making sure the passengers were safe. Natsu's eyes met hers briefly, and just then Gray thrust down hard.
"Nnngh!"
To hide his pleasure, Natsu leaned in closer to Gray, and the ice wizard wrapped an arm around the shaking shoulders. To anyone else, they just looked like a cuddling cute couple. The basket moved up as the ferris wheel spun on.
"Gray!" he suddenly whispered hoarsely.
"Are you close?"
"Y-Yeah."
Just as Gray began to loosen up his fingers, they suddenly came to a stop. The basket jolted and swung back and forth slightly, squeaking on the hinges.
"What?" Natsu gasped.
"Time to let riders off. Don't make a sound!"
Since they were high up and invisible to the world, Gray dropped into the foot well of the basket and yanked Natsu's pants apart, freeing the erection. That was when he saw the tiny magic charm bracelet fitted around Natsu's penis and balls, working as a cock ring.
"When the hell did you do that?" he gasped.
"Nngh … last bathroom trip. That's why I wanted to go just before going on this ride."
"You were wearing it while in line?" Gray asked in shock.
Natsu pouted in embarrassment. "I wanted to."
Gray chuckled deviously. "Who's the kinky one here?"
Their basket moved again, but only a little, bringing them a bit closer to the top of the ferris wheel, before stopping to let off the next couple.
"I'll have to reward you," Gray whispered, and he dived down onto Natsu's erection.
Natsu grabbed Gray's hair right away, thrusting him down more as his spine arched. He bit his lips, trying to hold back. In the basket ahead, they heard the voice of the girl.
"Oh God, there!"
Then the shout from someone in another basket. "Sheesh, you two! There are children around."
Natsu knew he had to stay completely silent or else others would know. Gray also realized he had to work fast or the ride would be over. He sucked with no restraint, bobbing his head quickly, reaching in and stroking Natsu's balls, anything to get him to come as soon as possible. Their basket moved again, taking them to the apex of the wheel.
"Gr-Gray!" Natsu choked. "Hands!"
Gray could feel from the tension in the veins and spasms in the thigh muscles, Natsu was close. He slammed Natsu's hands to the basket seat and froze them right there, then grabbed his legs to keep them from moving and kicking. Suddenly, he yanked the charm bracelet around the arousal and snapped it apart. At the release of pressure and rush of blood, Natsu groaned, stiffened, and came hard into Gray's mouth. He looked straight up at the stars, gasping as quietly as possible as he felt Gray swallowing.
Here! Out in public! On an amusement park ride!
Gray lifted his head and smiled from between Natsu's thighs. "Best thing I've had to eat all day," he whispered.
Natsu chuckled. "My way of saying thanks for the vacation."
"Oh, you can thank me more tonight!" Gray purred.
Just then, the ferris wheel moved, the basket swung, and they crested the top, starting on a descent. Natsu gasped and yanked at the hands bound to the seat. Gray saw his face go pale and quickly released the ice. Natsu's hands flew up to his mouth, covering it and gulping thickly.
Gray frowned. "Oh damn, is this because I broke the charm bracelet?" He slipped back up into his seat and wrapped an arm around Natsu.
"You broke it?" he yelled, but he covered his mouth again with sickness.
"I wanted you to come."
"You could have just slid it off!"
"I didn't want to stop sucking you."
"Idiot."
"At least the ride is over." Gray pulled Natsu closer. "Lean into me. I'll hold you. Even if you get sick and throw up on me, that's fine."
"I'm not that bad yet. I just feel a bit queasy. Still got two charms."
The basket moved again, and Natsu gulped. Once it came to a stop and the squeaky swaying ceased, he looked fine. They held one another amidst the lights of the amusement park and stared out into the night.
"That was a fantasy of mine, you know," Gray mentioned softly as their basket slowly lowered down the wheel.
"I figured it would be, for a pervert like you."
"You obviously wanted it too."
"You're a horrible influence, corrupting the innocent."
"Natsu, you are anything but innocent. Now, fix your pants before we get off this ride."
"Then put your shirt back on. You've stripped again."
They fixed their clothes and stared out as their basket dropped closer to the bottom.
"I don't want the day to end," Natsu sighed, resting his head on Gray's shoulder.
He wrapped his arm around the Dragon Slayer. "We're here for three days. How about we go to the hot spring tomorrow? There's a famous temple there too. Supposedly if you pray there, you have good luck in—" His words choked off.
"Luck in what?" Natsu asked softly. The ride was nearly at the bottom.
"In … l-love."
"Oh. Then we definitely have to go." Purposely, Natsu made no comment about Gray's slight hangup. They had their issues, and they were used to dealing with them. "Did you want to go skiing?"
Gray was privately glad Natsu did not act pitifully toward him. He was sick of that. He just choked up for a moment, and now that moment was over. They moved past it. Over the past three months, they had learned to just accept their limits. "If we do, you'd get sick. There are no motion sickness charms at the mountain lodge. Plus I'd have to teach you. You've never gone skiing before. I'm not so sure I'd have the patience to teach an idiot like you."
"I can watch you and pelt you with snowballs as you ski down the hill."
Gray had to laugh at that. "Honestly, that sounds like fun. Like a game of dodge ball, but skiing and snowballs."
"Yeah! Let's do that!" Natsu grinned and squeezed Gray's hand.
He leaned over and kissed the Dragon Slayer in the center of his forehead. "Sure, let's plan to do that tomorrow."
At last, their basket came to the bottom, the ride operator unlocked the door, and they stepped out. Natsu was glad to get off the ride and back onto solid ground. They left the amusement park and took a tram to the nearby hotel. Their luggage was already waiting in a suite Gray had gotten for them.
"That's it for the night," Natsu declared, collapsing onto the mattress. "I'm ready for bed."
"What about me?" Gray whined. He had been slightly aroused since the ferris wheel.
"I'll deal with that tomorrow. Need sleep."
"Bastard! Maybe I should deal with this myself."
"Go ahead, but if you're too tired tomorrow, you don't get any."
"Jerk," Gray muttered. He stripped out of his clothes and marched to the shower.
It had been a long day, he was sweaty, some of the rides had been wet with splashing plummets into water, and now he wanted the relaxation of a hot shower … or as hot as he preferred. As Gray stood under the cascading water, he thought about that ferris wheel. That had been a fantasy of his ever since taking a girl to a carnival, trying to get frisky with her on the ferris wheel, and being flat-out rejected. The girl broke up with him soon after, saying he was a sick pervert.
Pervert. Maybe he was. Seeing Natsu like that, knowing the Dragon Slayer had wanted it, planned for it, even bound up his genitals like that, had been incredible. Who else would think of pleasing Gray that way?
His hand drifted down, stroking slowly. Perhaps Natsu could give back the favor. Gray had packed the cock ring just in case. Maybe when they went back to the amusement park, he could wear it on a ride and have Natsu go down on him. He hummed at the idea.
"Idiot."
Gray jolted, eyes open, to see Natsu just entering the shower.
"I really am tired, but I guess I need to wash up."
He took over Gray's hand, stroking him in the wet trickles of warm water.
"I won't last long," Gray warned him.
"That's fine. I really am exhausted. Come when you want."
His hand kept stroking, and Gray tensed up. Natsu pumped a little liquid soap into his hand, and that made gliding over the flesh easier. Gray shuddered as those fiery fingers stroked the soap over him.
"I need you nice and clean down here," Natsu said in a low, hot whisper into Gray's ear. He licked along Gray's neck. "That way you taste good for me when I devour you tomorrow."
"N-Natsu!"
"Do you want that, Gray?" his seductive voice simpered. "Isn't that what you were fantasizing about just now, while you were stroking yourself? Having me do that? Sucking you off? In public!"
"Please…"
Natsu hummed and whispered deviously, "So naughty." Then he leaned over and bit into Gray neck.
"Gyaaaah! N- … Nat- … uuugh!"
At the marking bite, Gray lost control and felt everything gush out. He grabbed his fingers into Natsu hair, wanting those lips, wanting more marks, wanting this man so much.
Natsu smiled at hearing Gray huffing, shuddering, and finally groaning with waves of pleasure. He licked his bite. He did not suck it, though. The pinkness from his teeth would fade by morning.
"That really was quick," he teased.
"Shut up. Told you," Gray huffed. "Plus you were—" His voice choked off.
"I was what?" Natsu smirked, knowing full well.
Gray looked aside with a blush. "You were … talking."
"Oh? Is there something wrong with my voice?" he asked flippantly.
"Shut up."
"But I thought you liked my voice. If you don't, maybe you should tie a ball gag on me."
"Don't … tempt me!"
Natsu laughed and licked again where he had bitten. "Let me wash you."
While Gray leaned against the shower wall and recovered, Natsu made quick work of the hotel soap, cleaning Gray in a rush. They both washed out their hair, rinsed in the water, and climbed out. Teeth were brushed, hair dried, clothes ignored, as the two collapsed naked into their hotel bed together, wrapped their arms around one another, and fell into exhausted sleep.
End of Chapter 36
A/N: My first job was as a ride operator at an amusement park. We really did have to be on the lookout for "neckers" or other cruder terms we had for people who would make out or have full-blown sex while on a ride. Another crazy fact: a friend of mine conceived one of her children on the old PeopleMover in Disneyland. The ride was removed, but not before many of us crazy teens (myself included) had some naughty fun on it.
In other news:
NaNoWriMo is coming up (National Novel Writing Month). If you follow me, you know that I always take November off for this contest, but I always manage to provide you with something to read. In this case, while I can't promise new chapters every week (FMBM chapters are seriously long) I will be posting "Catch the Thunder" through November. Once-a-week updates for that story will be coming.
Before you groan that I'm leaving again, there's happy news. My NaNoWriMo novel this year IS A FANFIC … and … IT'S GRATSU! "Life After Near Death" is a collaboration with the insanely talented Moonlessnight126. I have put it off for over a year, because I knew it would be huge. FMBM then got in the way. So for November, I will be wholly and completely focused on "Life After Near Death" (LAND, I call it). I won't be uploading it yet, because NaNoWriMo is all about tying a ball-gag on your inner editor so that your muse may shine. So a new Gratsu fanfic will be arriving someday soon. If you participate in Nanowrimo, look me up! I would love to be writing buddies.
