Gray's POV:

The next day, Natsu was at the guild again. It was only partially rebuilt, but the bar was up and running again. Mira was happily walking around the construction site serving people food and drinks.

Natsu was sitting by himself, a plate of food on his lap. His head was down -- it looked like he hadn't slept.

"Gray, what did you do to him?" Lucy approached me from behind with a judgemental glare.

"Why do you just assume I did something?"

"I saw you two leave the party together, and no one saw either of you since until now," the blonde explained reasonably, "I know you did something."

I sighed quietly. I didn't want to have to explain myself to Lucy of all people, but I didn't really have much of a choice. After all, if I didn't explain myself, she would just decide what happened herself. Who knows what goes through that head of hers? "Natsu and I had sex," her face contorted with utter disbelief, "We had sweet, lovely, hot, man-on-man sex," I paused for dramatic effect, "But he doesn't remember. He was drunk. I wasn't. I'm... I'm not too happy about the situation, so if you don't mind, I'm going to end my story here."

"O-oh..." The celestial mage's eyes were wide, her mouth hanging open slightly, "I'm... I'm so sorry to hear that.. Um... have you always had a thing for Natsu? Like, when you guys fight and all?"

I nodded silently.

"I see.." Lucy frowned, "I'll uh.. I'll leave you alone then."

"Thanks," I muttered, feeling sorry for myself.
