“Gray?” Her voice was sleepy. “Is it true you’ve always liked me?”
Gray froze, a stricken look on his face for a moment before it returned to his customary calm. His heart raced, beating faster against her cheek. “I…Where did you hear that?”
“Loki.” With a yawn, she turned her face toward him, enjoying the coolness of his chest. “And Gemini, when they copied you during the fight against Oracion Seis.”
“…” Reaching her house, he didn’t bother asking for a key to her home. Sneaking in as usual, he set her down in bed and sat facing slightly away from her. “I have always thought you were cute. It started out that way, with physical attraction. After a while, you became my friend. My feelings grew, becoming something far more substantial and vital. I’ve…I’ve been in love with you a long time. But…”
She yawned and interrupted him, glancing away. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
He sighed and met her gaze. “We’re teammates. I didn’t want to risk everything by telling you how I felt. I’d rather have you as just a friend than risk losing you entirely.”
“Hmm.” She murmured in thoughtful agreement, still looking away.
Gray looked up, finally noticing how she was avoiding his gaze, a blush suffusing her cheeks. He spoke up in a rush. “I’m sorry, I’m sure you have enough to think about without adding in a confession of love from a friend. But you know…I’ll make sure you have choices. You have a lot of options. Natsu, me, both, neither…I don’t want you to feel pressured. Honestly, I’m content being your friend.”
“I don’t feel pressured. You just…” Her blush deepened considerably as she looked up at him, then away. “You took off all of your clothes while you were talking…”
“Gah! Why do I always freaking DO THAT?!” Pink brushed his cheeks as he went searching for his clothes. Face still red, he looked to the side until he’d finished putting his clothing on. “S-sorry about that…”
Lucy giggled. “It was a very Gray way to declare your feelings for a girl.” She looked down, too tired to keep up her prior cheerfulness. Stifling a yawn, she curled up in her bed. “I don’t know where to even start thinking about all of this, but…I’m not rejecting you. I can’t say yes, but I’m not saying no either. I just…I need time to process everything that has happened recently.”
‘Well, it went better than I thought it would. I doubt I’m going to lose her as a friend, so it’ll be okay. No matter what, I’ll be happy as long as she is.’
Gray smiled back at her. “I’ll be on the couch if you need me. If you don’t feel well just say the word and I’ll go fetch Wendy or Li, okay?”
“Just keep your clothes on…and try not to eat all of my popsicles. And don’t mess up my apartment!”

“I make no promises.” He gave a teasing smile over his shoulder as he walked away.
***
Gray lay sprawled out on Lucy’s couch, naked, numerous popsicle wrappers and boxes littering the floor around him. He grimaced in his sleep, beginning to dream.
He wandered through fog, bored and feeling exasperated with the monotony of his surroundings. There were a few rocks, but for the most part it was a barren wasteland, devoid of anything but the persistent mist blanketing the land.
He looked up from the rocks as the fog began to take shape in front of him. He assumed his ice-make stance, reading his magic and his will for a fight.
Chimei stepped from the man-shaped fog, smirking. “Remember me?”
“Ice-Make: Lance.” Gray said calmly, sending a wave of icy spears through the bandit’s misty form. Seeing the bandit reform unharmed, Gray smirked confidently as he removed his jacket and shirt too fast for his movements to be followed. “Yeah, I remember.”
“It is rude to interrupt your master when he speaks, boy.” Chimei made a show of examining his untouched clothing. “Not that it made that much of a difference.”
The ice mage smiled. “If you’re hoping to scare me, you’ve been unsuccessful.”
Gray placed one fist over the other, clothes flying as he stripped down to his boxers in what seemed like one barely perceptible movement. “Ice-Make: Cold Palace!”
As ice spread and trapped Chimei’s form inside a translucent blue building, the demon shaped another body from the surrounding mist.
Chimei clapped appreciatively. “Clever…but I have endless numbers to choose from, and you have limited magic.”
“Ice-Make: Cold Burial.” A series of icy coffins rose from the ground to trap the fog around them until only a bit was left. Panting, exhausted, Gray nonetheless smirked. “Not limitless after all.”
Chimei smirked back. “I’m impressed. When I regain my full strength, I’ll add you to my breeding program. You’ll sire my legion, you Fairy Tail mages. Tell me…How is the blonde? Is she enjoying the bite I forced the dragonslayer to give her? Does she like her life as a brood mare?”
The demon twisted fog around Gray’s body, holding him in place. “It won’t be her last child…well, assuming that the dragonslayer babe doesn’t kill her.”
“Is that all you’ve got? I expected better from a demon of the books of Zeref.” Gray smirked as he raised his head, concentrating. The mist around him froze solid and then broke into pieces as Gray effortlessly pulled his wrists apart. “You will never touch Lucy again.”
He sent his magic outwards as he began to speak again. “Ice-Make: Cold Burial.”
Gray lifted his head and swung his feet around to sit up, yawning, as he became aware of his surroundings. He frowned when he saw sunlight strike the plethora of popsicle trash surrounding him. He’d meant to be awake well before dawn, and the sun was high in the sky. ‘How long have I been sleeping?’
He shook his head, groaning when it sent a wave of pain stabbing through his temples. ‘Fuck…I haven’t had nightmares since I was a child.’
He ignored the headache as he stooped low to pick up wrappers. He checked on Lucy on his way to the trash and smiled when he saw her propped up in bed. She was obviously deep in thought, the sunlight streaming down from a nearby window to frame her, making her look angelic and even more beautiful than usual.
“Jeez, Gray. Only you would stand over a girl, smiling and naked, with a ton of popsicle wrappers in your hands, without very strange and nefarious motives.” She grinned as she looked up at him, then averted her eyes and blushed. She had to admit, though, she’d already seen him naked so many times – everyone had – that it didn’t freak her out like it had when she’d first joined the guild.
“I could have sworn I had them on when I came in…”
“Nope, totally naked by the time you got here.” She smirked briefly at him and went back to her thoughts.
***
Natsu smiled at happy, but his face was strained. Pain coursed through his bones, caused by the distance between himself and his mate.
“Natsu…” Happy trailed off for a moment. “Are you okay? You still look sick. Did Erza beat you up again? Does your tummy hurt?”
“No…I just…uh…really miss Lucy.”
“Well, let’s go see her!”
“I can’t. That redheaded she-monster is here to make sure I stay put. I’m pretty sure she’s really a demon. She’s too scary to be human…I think Zeref must have made her, her evil cannot be comprehended.”
“There’s a window. I can fly you!”
“I didn’t think of that.” The fire mage shook his head as though to clear it.
‘Man, I’m really out of it…This mate thing is hard…’ He mused silently. “Thanks Happy! You’re the best!”
“Aye!” Happy smiled, glad Natsu seemed to be feeling a little better.
***
Lucy’s mind was filled with turmoil. “So many things have happened in just a few days. How could it be only a few days? I lost my virginity, somewhat against my will, to one of my best friends. I didn’t even know Natsu was into girls. I mean, to be honest, I thought he was asexual, or maybe just a virgin, I dunno. But he’s obviously very experienced, and that’s…kind of shocking, actually.”
Gray shook his head, smirking as he made breakfast for Lucy. ‘I wonder if she realizes she’s speaking out loud and that I can hear her…’
Lucy mused about Natsu for a while, but in the end she came back to the actual problems at hand.
“I can’t believe I’m PREGNANT. In nine months, I’ll be a mother. Most of the time I can barely take care of myself. Hell, I’m short on rent this month, and I won’t be able to do any missions. I mean…I won’t be able to take missions for nine months…Crap. How am I even going to live?! I don’t even know if I even have food in the house! Shit…what do babies even need? Guess I’ll have to talk to Bisca and Alzack…”
He turned to let the bacon drain and started some eggs frying. ‘Hmm. The mission and rent issue is important. I’ll talk to gramps later about starting a guild fund for her expenses. I’ll have to take a few extra missions in the next nine months, but it’ll be worth it to make sure Lucy is taken care of.’
With a sigh, Lucy looked up and stretched.
“Gray, huh?” She mused, sneaking a glance at the ice mage in her kitchen. “I know Gemini said he thought I was cute, and that he was interested in me back when we took on Oracion Seis, but I guess I never really thought about it. I can’t believe Gray is in love with me…I admit, I’ve sneaked a few peeks when he was stripping down on missions or in the guild…”
She paled suddenly as she gasped. “Juvia is going to fucking KILL me.”
He finished up the eggs, then checked the tea. ‘So she’s snuck some peeks, huh? Well, she’s thinking about me. That’s all I can hope for, though I feel bad that I’ve added more to her plate.’
With a sigh she looked up and stretched. “Natsu bound my soul? Is that why I find him so appealing now? Do I really have no choice? Or…is it because of the sex? He’s really good at sex. Really really really good. Surprisingly so…No, don’t think about that, Lucy!”
He scowled deeply and tried to ignore it as she…repeatedly…mentioned that she thought Natsu was great in bed. He began to assemble a tray of food, still lost in his own thoughts. ‘I’ll need to talk to Makarov about that guild fund, and Levy about the mating bond. I don’t want to leave her alone, though…What if she collapsed again?’
He frowned for a moment. ‘Or am I just trying to find excuses because I want to stay here? She knows not to use magic now, so it should be fine. Still…’
“Gray is cool…but he does tend to get naked around a lot of girls. I wonder what it would be like to have sex with Gray…I don’t know why, but he strikes me as a huge pervert. He’s probably into really weird stuff.”
‘I’m into weird stuff?’ Gray blushed and sighed, narrowing his eyes in her direction. A vein in Gray’s temple throbbed briefly as annoyance filled him for a moment ‘What exactly does she think I like to do? Do people really think I’m such a pervert?!’
“Hmm…I thought Natsu was inexperienced, and he’s obviously not a virgin. I thought Gray was an experienced pervert…so maybe he’s a virgin pervert?”
Gray sighed. ‘Still determined I’m a pervert, I notice. And anyway, Erza…err…trained…both Natsu and myself. Scariest sex you could possibly imagine. There is a reason we get freaked out when Erza mentions bath time!’
“Damn it, Lucy! Stop thinking about sex!” She slapped her cheeks lightly with both hands and sat silently for a moment.
“I shouldn’t be concentrating on the boys right now. I need to think about the baby, and in order to make the right decisions, I need to be informed.”
****
When Natsu arrived, Gray was curiously relieved. ‘It’s true that I resent him for making a claim on Lucy against her will…but, there is no one else that I would trust more when it comes to keeping her safe.’
“Natsu.” Gray waved him closer, leaning in to whisper quietly. “I need to talk to a few people at the guild. I probably don’t have to ask…but will you protect Lucy while I’m gone?”
Natsu gave him an incredulous look. “Seriously? Have you never met me? Of course I’ll protect her, idiot.”
The fire mage frowned suddenly, his eyes wide and frightened. “Though…uh…could you do me a favor and not tell Erza you saw me here? She was supposed to be guarding me, and if she finds out I snuck out, next time she’ll…” He shuddered, glancing around subconsciously as though he expected the requip user to be looming behind him.
****
Natsu shook his head, perplexed, as he listened to Lucy rant in the next room. ‘She doesn’t realize I can hear her, does she?’
“…Natsu really was big. I mean, it didn’t hurt much, but still, just by looking at him I was sure he was going to tear me in half or something. I mean sheesh, when the Gods were handing out penis he must have doubled back in line a few times.”
Natsu stifled a laugh, unable to prevent a broad grin from gracing his face. ‘I should get a recorder lacrima, this would come in handy any time my pride is hurt.’
“And I mean, daaaaaamn. That boy has SKILLS. I had no idea sex would be that good. Is it always that good? Or is it just Natsu?”
‘Just me, baby.’ Natsu smirked. ‘Bet on it.’
“Damn it Lucy, you’re thinking about sex again. Stop that! You have bigger things to worry about than sexual gratification.”
‘Maybe, but is it as fun?’ Natsu was still smirking.
“I wonder if Natsu would be a good dad.” She touched her stomach tenderly, already feeling affectionate towards her unborn child even though she had only been carrying it for a few days. “I wonder if you’re a son or a daughter. I’d like a little pink haired daughter, but if you’re a son, please be a blonde.”
Natsu felt a wave of contentment go through him at the thought of his child. ‘I hope soon my mate will choose me. I don’t like taking her choices. If Levy comes up with a counter to the bond, I won’t mind…but I hope someday she chooses to mate with me again.’
“I can’t believe Gray is in love with me. Sheesh, so many surprises in the last few days. I haven’t even kissed him, we’ve never really shared a moment together…unless you count some occasional sexual harassment, but everyone does that, even Cana.”
Natsu’s fists clenched as he took several deep breaths. ‘Can’t kill Gray. Can’t kill Gray. Can’t KILL Gray…but maybe I could maim him a little. He doesn’t really NEED a dick…’
****
Gray stood at the bar with drink in hand. Swirling it in its glass, he gazed down at it, without taking a drink. Glancing to the side at the diminutive old man who sat cross-legged on top of the bar, he spoke softly. “Master, I’d like to discuss Lucy’s situation. She won’t be able to work for about nine months at minimum, and her rent is due Thursday. She’s also low on food. She’ll probably also need baby gear…bottles, diapers, high chairs, hell I don’t know. Lots of stuff.”
“Mm.” Makarov grunted in response. After a few minutes of silent contemplation, he looked up. “Bring Lucy and Natsu here. I have an announcement to make.”
“N-Natsu? He…he’s still in the hospital, right? Right?” Gray cursed the fact that he couldn’t lie well to his comrades.
“Gray. Do not treat me like a fool. You would not leave Lucy alone. That’s why you went with her in the first place.”
“Then…why is Erza…?” He gestured at the scarlet haired demon standing at attention outside of the infirmary door.
“Ah, well…she needed something to do. No need to spoil her fun.”
****
“I bet Natsu would be a good dad. He’s kind, and encouraging, protective, and thoughtful…and he has a habit of always seeing the best in everyone.”
‘Heh. She likes me. This is going well…’
“But wait…He’s also immature, sadistic, oblivious…”
‘Or…maybe not…’ Natsu scratched his head, feeling sheepish.
“Short, impulsive, foolish, no…idiotic. Trespasser, pervert, and prone to destroying towns…”
‘You don’t have to list so many things….Sheesh, woman.’ Natsu sighed.
“But…I like him. Maybe I even love him. Is that because he bit me, or are my feelings my own? Am I falling for him? Or…am I just being manipulated by the mating bond? I don’t know, and it hurts.”
‘Damn.’ Fists clenched, he hung his head in shame. ‘I hate this. Why couldn’t this have happened differently? I wish I hadn’t bitten her. We should have begun a relationship differently. She should have had a choice. I’m sorry Lucy. I’m the worst.’
****
Chimei soaked up their misery, reveling in their shame and hurt. He relished it, felt himself growing more powerful as he absorbed each occurrence of their mental agony.
****
Lucy yawned, feeling the exhaustion of magic depletion hit her again.
“Natsu…” She blinked when the dragonslayer was suddenly there at her side, coaxing her down to lay on her back.
“Rest, Luce. I’m here, so you don’t have to worry about anything.”
“Will you stay with me…until I fall asleep?” She asked shyly.
“Of course.” He lay down at her side with a contented smile and was asleep before she was.
Her dreams were peaceful and warm.
****
Chimei looked out from Natsu’s eyes at Lucy’s relaxed form. ‘Finally, I have enough energy to manifest myself.’
His eyes narrowed as a disturbing smile graced Natsu’s lips. ‘That blonde bitch is resting far too peacefully for my liking. Shall I hurt her, with her beloved dragon’s body? Surely their despair will replace the energy it takes to overcome his will. Hmm…How shall I make her suffer? Rape? A beating? Shall I peel the skin from her flesh? So many choices, so little time. Tick tock, Chimei. Whichever shall I choose?’
****
Gray left the guild, happy that something would be done to help Lucy.
‘I hope she’s alright.’ He couldn’t shake an uneasy feeling. ‘Natsu is with her. He wouldn’t hurt her, whatever else I could say about that moron.’
He walked faster.
