Gray's POV:

I took a quick shower then stepped out, dripping water all over Natsu's floor. I'll clean that up later, I thought as I scanned the room for a towel. I found one hanging off a hook and used it to dry myself off. I wrapped it around my waist and stepped out of the bathroom and back into the living room. Natsu had fallen asleep in the same spot I had left him. His eyes were closed loosely, and there was evidence that he had been drooling. I found myself smiling stupidly at the sight. He's so cute..

I stepped over to his side and leaned down, planting a gentle kiss on his forehead. I wish I could do this when he was awake... To think I had finally worked up the nerve to ask put the guy of my dreams and it ended so horrifically. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be...

"Mmm..." Natsu's eyes cracked open a bit. He stared at me for a moment before tiredly letting them close again. In his half-asleep voice he mumbled: "Can you not walk around my house naked please?"

"I'm not," I denied and pulled at the edge of the cloth wrapped around my dripping wet waist, "Towel."

"That's naked enough," he sighed, "Put some damn clothes on."

"Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?"

"Yes," Natsu sat up, "Very much so."

We sat in silence for a minute, both glaring at one another. Neither of us seemed willing to give in. I wasn't planning on putting clothes on, and Natsu clearly wasn't going to let me stand in the middle of his house in the nude.

However our "fierce battle" was soon interupted when I heard a flapping noise. The front door flung open, and Happy flew inside right past me. Before this day, I had never realized how amazing Happy's Aera magic really was. It sure did create a lot of wind. Enough to even blow off the one thing covering my naked body. Fml...
