Gray's POV:

I heard a knock at the door...

"Gray? Natsu? Is everything okay?" Chiaki had come to check up on us, "I heard a noise, you didn't get hurt, did you?"

Crap... I tried to answer, but my mouth was a bit busy... Mumbled, moaning sounds were about as much as I could currently manage. Due to my lack of response, I heard the door handle twist, and the door creak open. Frantically, I squirmed and managed to get myself off of Natsu, however I was a few seconds too late.

"Huh?" Chiaki's eyes widened slightly when she saw the horrific scene in front of her, "I-I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to interupt..."

Natsu's POV:

I woke up when voices filled the room. I think it was Gray and Chiaki, but I was too tired to make out what they were saying. I opted just to lie in bed until I was more awake.

...

"So, you two are... dating?" The mumbled voices suddenly became clear as I heard that phrase.

I immediately sprung up and shouted; "No!"

The two looked slightly surprised by my sudden awakening, bit quickly went back to their conversation. "No," Gray echoed, "We're not dating -- I don't even like him as a friend. The only reason we're traveling together is because we're part of a guild that takes on whatever fucking missions it wants, then basically forces us to do it." Chiaki nodded as though she understood the situation, but her expression was similar to that of a brick wall.

"Then why did you kiss him?" Chiaki suddenly asked-- wait... what? Kiss? Now? I tilted my head and looked at Gray. His entire face was red.

"It's kind of a funny story," he chuckled to himself.

"Do tell," I clenched my teeth into a smile.
