Chapter 9
Taking Care of Gray
Gray woke up hating the world and regretting his own existence.
"Do something about the curtains," said an echoing voice.
"Yes, sir," came a woman's reply.

Gray woke up hating the world and regretting his own existence.
"Do something about the curtains," said an echoing voice.
"Yes, sir," came a woman's reply.
A few seconds later, a piercing white light in his brain faded to a dull silvery glow, still annoying but manageable.
"The bucket is ready, sir. The acupressure points should help, though."
"I need to leave this to you guys. Gray?"
Through a pounding deep in his eardrums, Gray cracked open an eye. He barely felt his own body, and seeing anything beyond a few inches was a blur. Still, he thought he saw pink.
"You're going to be okay. I have to leave, but I'll be back as soon as I deal with a situation. These people will help you to recover."
His mouth opened to speak, but his throat felt like cobwebs. His lips and tongue were numb. He felt like half of his face was being smashed, yet realized it was only turned to the side and lying against the pillows.
"Ma- … -fu? Su. Na- … -tsu?"
A hand stroked over his head, feeling cool against his own feverish heat. Was he sick? He could barely make out the silhouette of spiky hair and a thick scarf around his neck.
"Sleep this off."
"Ma- … Na- … s- … ssssu?"
Lips pressed against his forehead, but then the shadow leaned up. "He's drenched in sweat."
"His body is still fighting off the effects. This is normal."
"Call me if anything bad happens."
"Understood, Mr. Dragneel."
"I'll be back, Gray."
He wanted to answer, but Gray's brain plunged backwards again. Dark hands grabbed at him, dragging him down into crushing depths, drowning him in the lingering fumes of ethanol to escape the hangover for a little while longer.
He woke up already leaned over the bed with vomit shooting out his mouth. He opened his eyes and instantly wanted to scream. No hangover had ever been this bad. Still, he was glad to see he had vomited into a bucket, and from the looks of it, this was not the first time he had thrown up. He could not recall having done it earlier.
A goat-like face was suddenly bending over to look at him, and Gray yanked back with a cry of shock, only to instantly regret the loud noise. He grabbed his head, and for a moment he wondered if blind and deaf people had a better time handling hangovers.
"Forgive me. I'm Dr. Capricorn. I need to check your pupils," the goatish man said.
A doctor? Gray looked around, but he recognized his own apartment. Why was there some old doctor there?
"What happened?" he asked, but instantly his own voice crashed through his ears.
"What do you last recall?" the doctor asked, lifting Gray's wrist and feeling his pulse.
Gray gulped down the rancid taste of vomit. "I was out drinking with some guys from work. Karaoke, I think. I vaguely recall singing. Then I'm here."
"As I suspected. You were given GHB, a date rape drug."
Gray jolted. "Holy shit!" He immediately grabbed his head. "Ow, ow, okay, no yelling. Ow." He wondered if that was why this felt like the worst hangover of his life. "So…" He looked under the blanket and realized he was naked. "No offense, but I hope you're not the one I ended up with."
Capricorn chuckled and shook his head. "You were lucky. Your boyfriend found you just before the perpetrator could coax you out of the bar."
"Boyfriend?" He gazed straight ahead. "Natsu found me? Okay, I don't recall that at all."
"The drug was thoroughly in your system by then. You were exhibiting acute signs of overdose by the time I arrived: non-responsive, feverish, sweating, struggling to breathe. You threw up three times and had a seizure."
"Shit," Gray whispered, since he knew yelling was a bad idea. "I wasn't raped though, right? Just drugged?"
"As far as we know. Your friends at the bar said you were never out of their sight until Natsu came to get you."
Gray rubbed out his arms, but his limbs still felt like they were slightly numb. "How the hell did Natsu know where I was?"
"He said you called him."
"I what? Oh," he muttered. "Okay, I sort of remember that. I was drunk by then."
"The combination of alcohol and GHB is likely why you exhibited overdose symptoms. According to Mr. Dragneel's account, you may have been exposed to two drugs: GHB and some form of aphrodisiac. Apparently, you acted … rather amorously before passing out."
"Fuck," he hissed. Drugged! And Natsu saved him. Gray shook his head, realizing just how horrific things could have gone. "I owe Natsu a lot now."
"Indeed. He stayed here with you until he got a call from police. They caught the man who did this."
"Thank God," he sighed. "So, where's Natsu?"
"He went downtown to file a witness report. Police will likely be by here later to take a statement from you, but I warned them that you were still unconscious. I really do recommend a hospital trip to make certain you're not dehydrated from vomiting, and perhaps blood work to determine what the second drug was. Also, although your friends vouched for your safety, you still might want to be checked for signs of rape. After all, they were all inebriated as well. If money is the issue, Mr. Dragneel stated he would cover all exam costs."
Gray groaned. Not what he needed for his weekend. "I guess it wouldn't hurt. Maybe they can give me something for my head. This is the worst hangover ever."
Just then, a woman with fluffy pink hair walked in, and Gray yanked the covers over his naked body.
"I'm sorry," she said, bowing formally. "I made coffee and food, and I have medicine for your headache."
Then another woman wearing a maid outfit walked in from an adjoining room. "Your laundry will be done soon, sir. I can stay here and finish it as punishment while you go to the hospital."
Gray panicked. "Who the hell are you people?"
Capricorn explained, "When Mr. Dragneel found you, he took you home but realized this was beyond his ability to handle alone. He called upon us to help. This is Aries," he said, and the fluffy girl curtsied, "and this is Virgo." The maid bowed stiffly, not even smiling.
"Are you his servants?" Gray murmured, wondering just how spoiled the corporate CEO actually was.
"No, Mr. Dragneel is not one to keep a full-time staff. We are employed by his childhood friend, Lucy of the Heartfilia Konzern. However, Mr. Dragneel has used our skills in the past."
Gray dropped his head. "He hired three people to watch over me? That stupidly rich idiot!"
Virgo tilted her head to the side. "Will we be punished?"
"N-No!" Gray ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. "I guess this is Natsu's way of spoiling me." He did not want to upset these people, not after they had worked so hard to care for him while he was drugged. "Okay, I don't want to go to the hospital on an empty stomach. I'll eat and get dressed, but I'm not up to driving, so someone needs to take me there."
"I have a car," Capricorn assured him. "Don't force yourself to eat. If you feel nauseated, stop. Aries, some of the coconut water I brought. That should help to re-hydrate him."
"Yes, I'm sorry," she said, curtsying and rushing off.
Gray ate a little oatmeal, and then he rode with Capricorn to the nearest hospital. While sitting in the car, he pulled out his phone. He had a missed call from Ultear and Lyon, with multiple text messages from them, worried if he was okay. He should call them back, but that early in the morning, he reasoned they would still be asleep with hangovers of their own. Gray instead texted Natsu.
« I'm awake. Heading to hospital. Sorry about last night. »
As soon as he sent it, the phone rang with Natsu's number. He looked over to Capricorn first.
"Mind if I answer it?"
"Make sure he knows you're safe with me," Capricorn warned.
Gray nodded and accepted the call. "Hey," he said, trying to stay calm.
"Are you awake?" Natsu asked in a frantic voice.
"Obviously," Gray chuckled.
"Oh, yeah, I guess so. But are you okay? Is everything okay? Are you—"
"Slow down, slow down," Gray said, amused and happy to hear the worry in his voice. "I'm awake, I ate a little, but I still feel groggy so I'm in the car with this doctor you sent heading to the hospital. I just want to make sure this damn drug flushes out of me." Gray bit his lip, looked over to Capricorn, and dropped his voice. "Thank you," he said softly. "Apparently, you were quite a hero last night. You saved me from something really horrific."
The other line was quite for a moment, then Natsu's voice returned, deep and wary. "Do you remember anything about last night?"
"I remember drinking and singing."
"But nothing about me?"
Gray wondered what he meant, but then he recalled what Capricorn said: he had been acting amorously just before passing out, and he had passed out sometime after Natsu arrived to take him home. "Um … did I do anything bad to you?"
Natsu paused just a little before answering, "No, not bad."
"So, what happened?"
Natsu was quiet again for an uncomfortably long time. "Look, I'm in public and it's not a good time to talk about that. While I'm in town, I need to run some errands. The police want to talk to you, so I'll send them on to Magnolia Hospital; you can file a report while you wait for lab tests or whatever. I really hope that bastard didn't do anything worse than spike your drink. Call me right away if anything new comes up. Would it be okay if I come over after I'm done?"
"That would be great." Although Gray had hoped to work on the E.N.D. virus all weekend, right at that moment he really wanted Natsu to be there. Just then, Capricorn drove into the hospital parking lot. "Hey, we just pulled in so I need to hang up."
"Okay. I'll see you later. I hope you feel better. Do you want me to bring you anything?"
"Caviar and wine," he said jokingly.
Of course, Natsu took him seriously. "Salmon, ossetra, baluga, or sevruga?"
"What?"
"Caviar. Which type do you like?"
"No! I was joking. Sheesh, I don't need anything. I'm fine." He rubbed out his head. His shout had hurt his sensitive ear drums. "Look, if you wanna get me something, pick up a bottle of Motrin and some yogurt. I don't think I want to eat much today, but yogurt should be okay."
"Totally, I can do that," Natsu said in excitement.
"Okay, talk to you later." Gray sighed as he hung up.
"He really cares for you," Capricorn mentioned as he pulled into a parking spot.
Gray's lips rose into a demure smile. "Yeah, he does."
Gray's hospital visit was uneventful. Blood work told them which drugs had been administered, but the drugs were already nearly out of his system. An exam showed that he had not been raped. Neurological tests showed the seizure Gray had the night before left no lingering problems, but he was still given a saline IV for dehydration and observed for a few hours, just to make sure he worked through the drugs without more problems.
It was during that time, lying on a hard bed watching television while Capricorn sat to the side reading a health magazine, that the police arrived to take a statement. They let Gray know, the club's security cameras confirmed that the man known as Sugarboy had indeed spiked Gray's drink, but Gray had never left the main room until Natsu arrived. Sugarboy was caught with another set of pills on him, so he likely intended to drug two victims that night. Looking into his past, he had been charged with sexually assaulting a male classmate in high school, but he was released upon coming of age. His DNA also matched that found on three men who had been raped in the past year. Since he was a regular at the club, Ichiya promised to spread the word about this man in hopes of finding more victims and bringing this man to full justice.
Hearing all that made Gray shudder. He had come close to becoming yet another victim in this man's long history. He owed Ultear for keeping an eye on him, and Natsu for responding so quickly.
Although now, Gray worried about what he might have done after leaving the club. Natsu had sounded suspicious.
Finally, he was released, and Capricorn drove him back home. When he entered, he wondered if maybe this was really the right room. It was far too clean to be his loft. The whole place had been scrubbed to a shine, the floors sparkled, the windows had never been so clear since Gray moved in, and the place smelled heavenly like soup.
Virgo stood on a chair, dusting some of the high rafters, but when she saw them enter she hopped down. "My apologies, sir. I couldn't quite clean the upper beams. Will I be punished?"
"You didn't need to do all this," Gray muttered, gawking around at the immaculate loft.
Aries trotted out of his kitchen. "I'm sorry, I'm not done with the beef stew yet."
"No, it's … it's fine. I'm not hungry yet … wait, how did you make beef stew? I haven't bought beef in ages."
"Oh!" she squeaked. "Mr. Dragneel said that if we needed to buy you food or medication, we could, and he gave us one of his black cards."
Gray rubbed out his head. "Yeah, of course the goddamn prince of Dragon Enterprises just hands out black cards to maids and cooks."
"I'm sorry!" Aries cried out anxiously.
"Will I be punished?" Virgo inquired.
Gray sighed and sank onto his couch. "It's fine. It's Natsu, and he's reckless. Thank you for all you've done, but you really don't have to go out of your way for me."
"It's not going out of our way at all," Aries assured. "I … I made you tea," she said, trying to placate him.
He hummed and nodded. "Tea would be good. I should work a little. You can leave, if you want to."
"I need to stay to finish the soup," Aries said, and she scurried back to the kitchen.
"I must stay to hand back this," Virgo said, whipping out the black card.
Capricorn, however, bowed. "If you do not need my services, I probably should return to the Heartfilias. I received a text that Lady Layla is coughing again."
"Yeah, you go take care of them. Thanks for driving me down there and hanging around."
The goatish man bowed low and formally before turning out of the room. Gray went to the computer and opened up something he had been working on, a brand new program he was trying to design from scratch, purely as a way to combat the E.N.D. virus. Aries brought him a cup of tea, Gray muttered thanks, and then he focused on the computer screen.
The sun sank, Virgo turned lights on around the apartment, and finally Aries brought out a bowl of stew. Gray found he was quite hungry now, and he ate two bowls, amazed by the taste.
He was contemplating a third bowl and trying to convince Virgo and Aries that they could eat as well—something they insisted was improper—when there was a heavy pounding on the door. Virgo rushed to answer, and Natsu bolted in immediately.
"Gray!" He grabbed him around the shoulders in a crushing hug. "I'm so glad you're safe," he whispered, his voice trembling. "That guy they caught … when I think about what he planned to do to you…" His arms tightened even more.
"I owe you," Gray said softly, also realizing how lucky he had been.
Natsu raised his head and looked into Gray's eyes. He did not want to tell Gray, but at the police station, two officers had to hold him back from attacking Sugarboy as he was brought in. Natsu honestly had wanted to kill that man as he thought about all the depraved things he could have forced Gray to do, especially with the sorts of drugs he had been given. The thought of any man or woman touching his boyfriend made a fire rage in Natsu's heart.
Just as Natsu began to lean up, staring at Gray's lips, wanting to know they were safe from the filth of others, Aries cleared her throat. Both Gray and Natsu pulled back.
"Would you like soup, sir?" she asked, blushing and trying to keep her eyes averted.
Natsu released Gray's shoulders. "Maybe later. Thank you both for coming. You'll be paid overtime wages for this. My limo is downstairs; tell my driver to take you back home, and give my regards to Lucy."
Virgo handed back the black card, and both ladies left the loft. As soon as the door banged shut, Natsu crashed into Gray and kissed him. Gray was startled at the maddened passion in those lips, not just the kiss of missing him after being away on a business trip all week, but something extra. He felt the fear in that kiss, the realization that if things had gone truly bad, Gray could have left him forever.
When Natsu finally pulled back, he looked up at Gray and pawed at his face, as if he needed to be reassured that Gray was really there.
"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked in worry.
"I feel fine now." Gray bit his lip, debating if he dared to ask. "Natsu, what exactly happened last night? I don't remember anything after singing karaoke with that Sugarboy asshole. I only vaguely even remember Eve pulling me away from him to sing more, and then … things fade out. I don't recall you arriving, or getting here, or anything, and Capricorn said I was acting … um … strange. I think the word he used was amorous." He felt humiliated to think that others saw him in any sort of sensual way. "Was I doing anything weird? Please don't tell me I tried to kiss that old goat."
Natsu chuckled and shook his head. "No, you were totally out of it by the time Capricorn showed up. Luckily, it was only toward me."
"Oh. Well, I don't mind if I flirt with you."
Natsu's face went red. "You did more than flirt."
Gray's mouth dropped as a million worst-case scenarios ran through his head. "Oh shit, did I rape you?"
"No. You sort of wanted to, though."
"Fuck," Gray groaned.
"N-No! I don't mean like you tried to rape me," Natsu said in a panic. "You were drugged up, and the drugs were making you act weird, and you were … sort of persistent."
"Did we do it?" he whispered, feeling sick to his stomach at the fear than their first time might have been forgotten in a drug-induced amnesia.
"I never would have done that to you while you were like that," Natsu swore firmly.
"So, what did I do?" he asked, wondering if he even wanted to know.
Natsu turned aside as his cheeks blushed. "You … said things and…"
Natsu wondered if he should tell Gray that he had blurted out that, although he said he was okay with Natsu traveling on business, his fears about being cheated on were always there, and that he had confessed how sexually frustrated he was, how desperately he wanted their relationship to be deeper, how lonely he felt, and how he feared that Natsu might think he was not good enough. Natsu realized that those sorts of secrets would only put their relationship into an awkward place. He at least knew Gray's darkest feelings; there was no need to humiliate him by admitting he had revealed all that.
"You were drugged, it made you painfully aroused, and you … jerked yourself off in my car."
Gray's jaw dropped. "Oh my God, I'm sorry. That must have been awkward." As he tried to picture it, Gray began to chuckle. "Did you watch?"
Natsu's face flamed hot, and his voice cracked as he shouted, "It's not like I had much choice. Someone had to watch over you."
Gray stepped up to Natsu and tugged on his chin. "Did you enjoy it?"
Natsu had thought telling Gray about that would be just enough humiliation to teach him to always be cautious when he went out drinking. Instead, he was the one feeling ashamed. He could not meet Gray's eyes as he remembered the moans, how Gray had slumped in the seat and stroked himself while whimpering Natsu's name.
Gray licked his lips hungrily as he watched the blushing on Natsu's face go right up to his ears. "Did you join in?"
"No!" Natsu said sharply, angry Gray would even ask that, let alone that he sounded like me might like the idea. "Gray, you were drunk and drugged. I would never touch you like that."
"But did you touch yourself while watching me?"
Natsu's mouth dropped. He had not even thought about doing something like that, but now it sounded really hot. "N-No, I didn't, but … but I was talking to you."
"Dirty talk?" Gray asked in a deep, sensual voice.
Natsu gulped and wished he was not feeling a stir below the belt. "It wasn't really dirty," he mumbled.
Gray ran his fingers up Natsu's arm. He was so adorable this way. He could tell Natsu was holding back so as to not humiliate him, but the idea that he had been watched like that really made Gray curious. Just what did they do together? How much had Natsu enjoyed watching? The very idea of being watched thrilled the exhibitionist side of Gray.
Natsu scoffed and turned away to let his cheeks cool off and his body loosen up. "Seriously, never do something like that again. If you go out drinking, don't accept drinks from strangers, and always watch your glass, and have at least one sober person around to keep an eye on things."
Gray knew he deserved a scolding. "Getting drugged was beyond my control, but I'm sorry about getting drunk. I didn't really want to go that night, but once I was there … I dunno, I just wanted to drown away everything, to forget this whole week."
Natsu turned back around, looking sad as he remembered Gray's confessed frustrations about him being gone for so long.
"Every day, I feel like I'm letting down the whole team by not being able to defeat E.N.D., so I went along with them to make up for it, try to be there for them, y'know? I was miserable, but I wanted to feel better for their sake. I wanted all of us to just forget and have fun. We were singing, and it seemed like things were better, I didn't feel like such a failure, but I still missed you. No amount of alcohol could get me to stop feeling like I wanted you there, so I called you and holy shit I called you in front of them," he suddenly shouted as he realized what he had done.
Natsu hugged Gray. "I'm pretty sure they were too drunk to realize anything more than the fact that you have my number. We can make up an excuse on why you would have something like that. I'm glad you called me. I managed to find you, and you're safe, so it's okay."
"It's not okay," Gray sighed. "I got lucky, and I damn well realize that. I should do anything you ask of me today." Gray tilted his head to the side and eyed Natsu up and down. "I'm curious, what would you want me to do to you?" he asked with a suggestive smirk.
"Wh-What?"
"I must have really turned you on last night, but you held back from touching me for my own sake. Still, you must have wanted it. So, since you were such a gentleman, and I can tell that you're already aroused," he said, and his hand stroked down Natsu's chest, "name anything you want me to do. This is my apology." He leaned his face in close, almost ready to kiss him, but just short of their lips touching. "Order me, Natsu."
He gasped softly, and his mind whirled with all sorts of erotic things he would not mind doing with Gray. However, they were still early in their relationship. He wanted to take things slowly, and he knew they were already doing as much as he had already experienced with other boyfriends. Still, there was one thing he wanted to try, something he had never done with someone … something he wanted to share with Gray.
Gray saw Natsu bite on his lower lip, and it just about drove him mad with desire.
"Tell me," he commanded.
Natsu gulped hard. "C-Could you … touch … i-inside?"
"Do you want me to fingerbang you?"
Natsu blushed fiercely and tucked his head aside. How could Gray say it so bluntly?
Gray grabbed his chin and pulled it back to face him. In a low, sensual whisper, he asked, "Do you want me to feel inside you?"
A shiver raced up Natsu's spine. "Yes!" he hissed, feeling himself stiffening from Gray's voice alone. "Last night, you said you wanted to."
Gray smirked at the erotic face. "I wasn't lying." Gray leaned into his ear, licked around the rim, and in a whisper oozing with lust, he said, "I want to thrust into you, Natsu, see how good you feel on the inside."
Natsu cursed softly as his groin ached with tightness. Gray chuckled, and Natsu shot a glare at him.
"Come here." Gray led Natsu by the hand over to his bed. Virgo had cleaned his sheets and had the bed tucked neatly. It was almost a shame that they were about to thrash those tightly tucked covers. He pulled Natsu to sit down with him on the edge of the bed, and Gray just kissed him for now.
"I missed you," he sighed, enjoying the heat of that mouth.
Natsu hummed at the gentleness of his lips, and he felt Gray's ice cold fingers sizzle over his skin. "Missed you more."
Their kiss lasted minutes, both needing this physical closeness after being separated for so long. Their hands explored, stroking over muscles, along the chest, working their way down. Gray felt the stiff lump in Natsu's pants.
"Did I jerk myself off in my clothes, or naked?"
Natsu grunted as he felt Gray palming him. "You kept … nngh … trying to reach inside your pants. Even in the bar, you were trying, but then in the car you threw your clothes off."
"Did I try anything in the bar?"
Natsu felt his zipper being lowered, and he hissed as the cold air hit his skin. "I took you to the restroom to scold you. I thought you were only drunk, but … ahhh!" Gray had eased his cock out and was letting his fingers play around the foreskin, teasing him.
"But what?" Gray urged, gliding his fingers up and down the arousal without fully griping it yet.
"You … sort of attacked me. You were kissing me pretty wildly."
"Mmm, yeah?" Gray finally let his fingers wrap completely around the cock. "Were we making out in the restroom stall?"
Natsu gasped as Gray's hand stroked fully down. "Yessss!"
"What else?" he whispered.
Natsu reached over, wanting to touch Gray as well, but found he had somehow already striped to his boxers. When the hell had he done that? So Natsu easily reached in and pulled out a stiff and already dripping cock. Hearing about what he had done was really turning Gray on.
"You kept … thrusting against me," he said, immediately thrusting down onto Gray and getting him to grunt at the much-needed contact. "You had me pinned to the wall, grinding up against me."
"Oh shit." Gray shivered as his mind came up with an image of pinning Natsu to a public restroom stall and frotting together.
"You really wanted it, Gray."
"Hell yes, I do!" he moaned. Gray's brow tensed at how good Natsu's hand felt, and Natsu's mouth dropped open in a soft groan at the stroking of Gray's fingers.
Natsu pulled back and yanked his shirt off. They scrambled out of their clothes and crashed back together, both naked and able to feel their bodies completely touching one another. They battled on the bed, first Gray on top, pinning Natsu down and frotting against him, just like Natsu had described, then Natsu shoved him and leaped on top, snarling as he flexed his hips up against Gray.
"Oh fuck," Gray shuddered. He grabbed Natsu's ass and pulled him in closer. Then they both rolled onto their side, kissing like it was fighting, stroking each other like it was a battle.
"Touch me," Natsu growled. His hand reached around, and a finger slipped between Gray's butt cheeks to let him know what Natsu wanted.
Gray pulled back, panting and heart racing. "Wait. Before we get carried away, we need … hold on."
He scrambled out of the bed and to a dresser, digging down almost to the bottom. How long had it been since he used this stuff? He returned with a latex glove and bottle of lube.
"Gloves?" Natsu asked in hesitancy.
"I have a hangnail. No offense, but I'd rather it not get infected. Also, you didn't exactly prep down there. It's just safer." Gray set the items by his bed and pulled on the glove. "You're not allergic to latex, are you?"
"No. It's fine, I guess."
Gray covered two of his fingers in lube and settled down by Natsu. "Flip over."
Natsu rolled onto his stomach and immediately he felt Gray lick up his spine. He shuddered, and his hips tried to thrust into the mattress to get some friction.
Gray gazed at the prone body, admiring the back muscles, the strength of those shoulders, the curve of his spine, two dimples right near his hips, and then that lusciously plump rump.
"You're an ass virgin, right?"
Natsu looked around his shoulder with worry. "Yeah, but I want to, really."
"I'm not saying I won't." He slid his fingers down between the soft butt cheeks. "I just want to make sure you really want me to be your first."
"Yes! Please," he begged.
Gray leaned in close to his ear. "Relax."
Natsu shivered at the word, but just then he felt Gray's finger nudge against him, feeling him out. Natsu tensed up in surprise.
"Easy," Gray said in a hush, and he kissed Natsu's shoulder. "Stay relaxed."
He felt the tension loosen, and Gray pressed in a little. Although gloved, he felt the heat inside, the tightness of muscles, and he watched as Natsu bit hard on his lip to hold back a groan.
"Are you okay?"
He nodded frantically.
"Relax into it."
Natsu nodded again, and Gray slowly pressed his finger in more. He gazed at the way Natsu's ass trembled and yet pressed back toward him with eagerness.
"You're doing good," he praised as his finger reached all the way inside. "I'm gonna move now. Stay loose, and enjoy it."
Natsu felt Gray sliding out, then slowly pushing back in. He cried out with pleasure, and immediately there were kisses all over his shoulders and neck. The finger kept moving slowly, until Natsu got used to the pleasure of it. Gray's lips nibbled over his back, his tongue licked up the dip of Natsu's spine, and he caressed up and down the taut muscles.
"So good," he praised. "I can feel when you squeeze on me."
"Gray!" he whined.
Gray's hand pulled back. "Roll around. I want to watch your face, and you can touch yourself. You got to watch me, so now I want to watch you."
While Natsu twisted around in the bed, Gray added more lube. He saw how flushed Natsu's chest was, and how his face had gone as pink as his hair. Gray lay down on his side next to Natsu and gave him a kiss.
"You're really amazing, you know." He reached down to feel around Natsu's hole, just teasing it. "You saved me. I was so out of it, but I remember one thing. That guy … he was feeling up my leg, and … and I didn't stop him."
Natsu looked up in worry. Gray had told him about that, something about a man who rubbed his thigh and offered to take him home. That random flirty guy had been a rapist, and he had already drugged Gray at that point, testing him out, seeing when the drugs would kick in that would make Gray unable to resist.
"That's one of the last things I remember from last night," he admitted. "It's a … repulsive thought. If what you say is true, if I was a bit persistent last night, would I have done that to him? Would the drugs have made me so desperate, I'd beg him to—" His thought slammed down shut, enraged at merely imagining it. "Just the idea of touching another man makes me sick." He gazed down into those wide, worried eyes. "I don't want to touch another man but you."
Natsu reached up and gently held Gray's cheek. "I would literally murder any fucker who touched you."
That made Gray chuckle, but it felt nice to have a partner so protective.
"And I would never touch another man besides you," he swore.
Gray froze for a moment, then dropped his head. "I said something last night, didn't I? About my anxieties."
"You called me a whore."
"What?" he shouted. "No! I don't think that at all."
Natsu chuckled and pulled Gray over to him to kiss him. "You were drunk and trying to rile me up. It worked. After you called me that, I pulled you into the restroom, we argued, I kissed you, and you tried to fuck me through your clothes."
"Oh God," he groaned. "It's a stupid anxiety, I know that, but still—"
"Gray," Natsu cut in sharply. "I'll never touch another person like that, and I know you'd never cheat on me. You were so worried about me doing that, I have full confidence that you'd never fall down that path."
He shook his head, still upset at himself. He knew all the dark thoughts he had, all the worries, all the past pain and fears of it all happening again. Had he blurted all of that out?
Natsu rolled on top of him and pinned Gray down. He gazed at those worried eyes and flustered cheeks. "I'm glad you're worried, even if it pisses me off sometimes. I'm glad you want me to only want you. And I do, Gray." He took Gray's hand and pulled it down to his own ass. "I only want you to touch me." He slid down onto Gray's hand and gasped as he felt Gray crook his finger inside. "I've never wanted anyone else to do this before. Only you. God, it feels so good!" he moaned.
Gray gazed up at the open-mouthed pleasure. He knew he had anxieties about fidelity, so it was really nice to know Natsu had never let others do this. Natsu began to move his hips, thrusting down harder onto Gray's hand, going faster.
"Do you think you're okay for two fingers?"
Natsu whined as he nodded. Gray slipped a second finger up closer, and Natsu held still. Gray blindly felt around and nudged the finger in. Instantly, Natsu's head arched up with a roar of lust.
"Oooh, you liked that," Gray said with a smirk. "Aren't you going to touch yourself?"
"I want you to suck me," Natsu mewled. "Last night, you said you liked my cock."
"Oh? Did I say it tastes good? Because it does." He looked at the position they were in. "Hey, if you can move up, you can thrust into my mouth while I finger you."
Natsu was so eager, he pulled right off Gray's hand and crawled up. Gray scooted to sit with his back up against the headboard, and Natsu straddled him, positioned on his knees with his cock right up in front of Gray's face. Gray stroked Natsu to firm him up, then guided the cock into his mouth. Natsu thrust in so fast, Gray choked and shoved his hips back.
"Hey, take it easy. I threw up enough last night. I don't need you gagging me."
"Sorry," Natsu said, struggling to calm himself.
"Go slowly, let me get used to it."
Natsu blushed as he thought about how that sounded. If he and Gray ever went so far as to have sex, he would have to go slow and be considerate of Gray's needs. This was training for that moment. He positioned himself again, and this time he eased in, watching how far he could go before Gray looked uncomfortable. He pulled out, feeling those lips slurp on him, and it really took discipline to not slam in again. He hissed as he flexed his hips back in, plunging into that wet mouth.
Then he felt Gray reached behind again, and first one, then a second finger worked in. Natsu's hands clung to the headboard, almost crushing it. He went forward into Gray mouth, then backward onto his fingers, getting intense pleasure both ways as he rocked back and forth.
Gray pulled his head back for some air. "I'm not getting anything, you know. Aren't you being greedy, wanting to be pleasured first?"
Natsu looked down at him and arrogantly said, "Well, I am your boss."
Gray scoffed and simply eased the cock back into his mouth. Not like he minded this. Natsu's cock was incredible, his ass felt so tight and hot, he could imagine plunging into there. Thinking about it, imagining it, making small thrusts with his pelvis, Gray wanted more, but he knew Natsu was not ready for that next big step.
He had to respect that. Especially after Natsu could have done so much to him while drugged, yet he had kept his hands off of Gray, he knew he had to respect what he could and could not do. For now, this was something new, Natsu had never been fingered, and he was obviously enjoying it. Until Natsu was ready for more, they could do this much.
Natsu's hips began to move faster, frantic, and he hit the back of Gray's throat over and over, really testing the limits of his gag reflex. With his fingers, Gray could feel him tightening and quivering inside. He began to breathe faster with him, imagining how it must feel to be in there as Natsu lost control.
"Gray!" he cried out.
He grunted, all he could get out to let him know he was ready. Natsu grabbed himself, working out the last frantic strokes so he would not hurt Gray's throat. Then with a groan, he felt all that sensual tension snap, surge, and pour out. Natsu moaned long and low, feeling how his ass tightened on those fingers, and feeling Gray's throat working to swallow him down. He shuddered as all his worries for Gray, all his anger at the man who drugged him, everything vanished in a universe of pleasure.
Slowly, he sank, feeling amazing and euphoric. When he looked down, Gray still had his cock between his lips, and his eyes were up at Natsu, intently watching every expression. Natsu pulled back, and Gray sucked him clean the whole journey until he popped out. Gray's hand eased back, and Natsu whimpered as those fingers left him feeling empty inside.
"Are you okay?" Gray asked, rubbing Natsu's ass gently to ease out any lingering pain.
"Definitely," Natsu sighed in exhaustion. "I can…" He looked down, but he saw cum splattered on Gray's stomach and his cock already limp.
Gray gave a sheepish shrug. "You were really hot. My cock couldn't wait."
"Oh," Natsu mumbled, feeling disappointed.
Gray reached up with his clean hand and caressed Natsu's cheek. "The next time we get together, you pay me back. I expect a blowjob along with the best fingerbang ever."
Natsu chuckled and curled down beside Gray. "Definitely. Thanks."
"Heh … absolutely my pleasure." Gray wrapped his arms around Natsu and kissed his head. "Thanks for taking care of me and sending those people to help out."
"That wasn't a big deal. I'm glad I managed to find you last night."
"How did you, anyway?" Gray asked, curious about that. "I know I called you, but I specifically didn't tell you where I was. How on Earth did you track me down?"
"You mentioned someone named Ichiya. I had Freed run a search on any drinking establishments in the city with an employee named Ichiya. There were two. One was a gay strip club, the other was The Trimens. I could hear your team in the background and someone singing bad karaoke, so I figured it wasn't a strip club."
"Well, I owe you a lot more than a blowjob and a fingered ass."
"Then how about being my travel partner when I go to Europe in a week."
Gray's mouth dropped. "What?"
"Virgo got your mail today, and she told me your passport had arrived. I have a conference in Paris coming up. If it isn't too much of a bother, I'd like you to come with me. The company will pay for the flight and hotel, and I'll cover food. There are some really great places to eat in Paris. And … you know … it's the city of love," he said with a blush to his cheeks. "I thought … I mean, maybe something good could happen."
"You wanna lose your virginity in France?"
"Not necessarily," Natsu protested in a fierce blush. "I just thought … well, if we do, then it'd be a memorable occasion, a good location for … f-for … w-we don't have to, though. I'm not gonna bring you there and expect sex in return. I just thought … maybe it's a little bit of a fantasy of mine."
"Sex in Paris?" Gray asked, curious by this.
"I wouldn't mind, that's all," he muttered. "That's sorta why I wanted you to do this, so I can feel what it's like with your fingers first, and if I'm okay with it, if we both think we want more…" He felt too embarrassed to continue.
Gray ran his fingers through Natsu's hair as he watched him blush. "If you're not comfortable with it, if you're not ready, we could have a first time anytime you want."
"Okay," he muttered. "But, you wanna go, right? I really want you there with me. I hate leaving you for a long time."
Gray chuckled and kissed his forehead. "Sure, I'll go. Hopefully this damn virus will be gone before then."
Natsu hummed at that and lazily stroked his fingers over Gray's bare chest. "How is that going, anyway?"
"Hard as hell," Gray confessed, focusing more on the softness of Natsu's hair. "I've done just about every trick I know, and I'm no closer to cracking this thing. Maybe you need to hire a better software security guy."
"No way," Natsu snapped. "I know you'll figure it out. I have faith in you."
Hearing that made Gray feel better. "There is something I'm trying to design myself. It might save ICEMAKE and slay the E.N.D. virus for good. I'm bad at naming stuff, so I'm just calling it Ice Devil for the moment, because it's a devilishly complicated anti-virus program."
"I hope it works. I don't like to see you stressed out, but at least it's keeping you busy. Ice-Make will be stronger for that; I firmly believe it!" Natsu declared, cuddling into Gray.
He smiled at the confidence. Gray really did need to hear all that, after the stress of that week and losing hope. "I'll keep working on coding it this week, and once I'm done, I'll test it on a non-vital infected computer."
"Do you have to work on it tomorrow?" Natsu asked, clutching him closer.
"I should," he muttered, although now, held in Natsu's warm arms, he did not want to.
"You should only do work stuff during work hours," Natsu scolded. "The weekend is time to heal your brain from all the over-thinking."
"It's a miracle you're a CEO with that lazy mentality."
"It's not lazy! It's what my dad taught me. Igneel ran the company with that opinion: work hard during work hours, play hard the rest of the time. It's actually somewhere in the company rules: no working on weekends unless it's to travel or for the survival of the company. Igneel wanted happy workers more than concerns about profit. When workers are happy, the energy will be there to make better things, and that's where the profit begins. Weary workers put less energy into their work, and you get mediocre results, which means less profit. It's all about business ethics, or something."
Gray chuckled at the reasonable and yet rare concept in the modern-day frantic corporate world. "Seriously no other company I've worked for was like that. Makes me wish I was a real employee and not a contract worker."
Natsu's eyes jolted up to look at Gray, but then fell in misery. "Yeah … me too," he muttered with a sigh.
Gray soothingly petted Natsu's head. "Hey, that's the way my line of work does things. Companies need me for a few months to create security parameters in their programs and run them through the paces, and then I'm not needed anymore, off to the next client. It sucks a bit, but I like changing up things. If you ever have another software product coming up, make sure you request me."
"Absolutely!" Natsu shouted. "And maybe something will work out and you can stay for good."
"Nah. I think if I had to work in the same building for the next forty years, I'd go insane."
Natsu's lower lip jutted out. "Even being with me?"
Gray gazed into his eyes. "I wouldn't mind staying by your side for forty years, but I don't know if I'd want to work in a single place that long. It's not really my thing." He stroked his fingers along Natsu's cheek. "But you? You're my thing, and I want this to last."
Natsu's pout raised into a smile. "For forty years, huh?"
Gray felt his cheeks suddenly blushing. "Or … whatever."
"That's practically a lifetime, y'know."
"Shut up," Gray mumbled with embarrassment. "I just happened to say that."
Natsu held back a laugh, because hearing that really made him happy and he did not want to tease Gray about it too much. "Forty years isn't enough," he said with a forced flippancy as he dived down into Gray's chest and snuggled his cheek against him. "I could never get enough of you."
Gray thought he was so adorable, but he decided not to say anything more.
"Let me stay with you tomorrow," Natsu whispered. "I missed you."
How could he possibly say no?
"I…" Gray's throat choked off. He looked doubtful, and Natsu wondered for a moment if maybe he was thinking about telling him no. However, Gray's face firmed up, he looked straight into those green eyes, and he blurted out, "I love you."
Natsu's mouth dropped. Although they had been dating for a while now, it was the first time one of them had said those words.
Gray instantly looked unsure again. "Is it okay for me to say that?"
It took Natsu a moment to work through the shock. "You're really … you're … in love? Like, seriously?"
"I mean it. I'm not just saying it because you saved me last night." He bit his lip as his cheeks blushed. "If it's too weird, I don't have to say it."
"No!" Natsu shook his head to shove past the shock. "I'm happy, really. Love…" His face flinched slightly. "I'm not sure if I've ever fallen in love before. I'm not even really sure what it's like. But I know I want you, and I want us to be happy together, for as long as possible. Maybe that's love. I don't know."
"Shh." Gray leaned over and kissed Natsu into silence. With his lips fluttering over that hot mouth, he whispered, "I'll make you fall in love with me. Slowly. I'll close the distance between your heart and mine, until you have no doubt at all."
They kissed, and their hands began to explore again, slowly this time, feeling one another out, every line of muscle, every knotted bone. Natsu bit Gray's lower lip and tugged it out until he hissed in pain. Then he pulled back. As tempting as it was to do more, Natsu really did want to keep the pace of their relationship slow so they did not burn out too soon. So he cuddled back down into Gray's chest and simply held him.
"You know, the idea of us being together for a long time … it really makes me happy," he confessed quietly. "When you said that, my heart felt like a balloon floating off. To really like the idea of something like that … that might be love, right?"
"Sounds like it," Gray said, not wanting to push him, but amused at how hesitant Natsu was about this.
"To be honest, I've fallen for you so hard," he muttered, feeling weird to say that. "The first day you came into work, I thought you were seriously hot. Then I thought you were really interesting. Now, I'm sad when I can't be with you on my free time. That might be love, right?" he asked again, still sounding unsure.
"Could be," Gray said, holding back from even cracking a smile in laughter.
"And when I thought you might be in trouble, I was frantic to find you. When I found out what almost happened, when I realized you'd been drugged, even now as I think of all that could have happened if I hadn't cared so much for you, I'm enraged, and yet I'm so relieved that I was able to be there, and I have this really strong, instinctive feeling that I want to protect you, although I'm scared that I might smother you. I just want what's best for you, but I also feel very strongly that I can't leap in your way. I just really, really wanna be beside you all the time, so if anything happens, we can share it together, and we can be beside one another, and together we'll make it through any crap that happens to us. That … that might be love, right?"
Gray raised up and leaned over Natsu, staring down into those timid eyes. He wanted to shake his head, but he had to remember, Natsu was a powerful CEO with very little experience in romance. His life had been about carrying on Igneel's legacy, not finding a partner to share his life with. He dealt with cutthroat businessmen all day long, so exploring tender emotions was new and awkward. He had noticed that about Natsu from the start: he was bold and outgoing in public, but nervous and awkward in private.
"I love you," Gray told him again, this time making sure he was the bold one.
Natsu gulped hard at hearing him say that, but then a blush spread over his cheeks, and his lips began to rise in happiness. When Gray was certain something would work, Natsu felt confident as well. His smile burst out like a sunny summer day.
"I love you, too," he said, laughing with happiness.
Gray nodded. It was another milestone for the two of them, and they celebrated with more kisses and silent smiles of joy.
