Gray's POV:

"Would you still want to be with me?" Natsu asked, and my mind went totally blank. With him. So, be with Natsu and not Juvia. That sounds absolutely amazing. To answer Natsu's question, I gave him a quick nod of my head.

"Of course I want to be with you," I said. "It's all I've ever wanted."

Natsu smiled slightly. My answer had clearly made him happy. The idea of making Natsu happy made me happy, and suddenly I felt less awful about seeing him in that photograph. Or... about Lyon sleeping with Juvia. Wait... Which was I mad about?

"So, would you leave her for me?" Natsu asked a second question, catching me off guard slightly.

"I..." I hesitated. "I think so?"

"Do you want to kiss me?"

"Yes."

"Right now?"

"Yes." Natsu smiled. I gently let go of his wrist, bringing my hand up to the back of Natsu's neck. Urging his head forward, I brought Natsu's lips to mine. They touched, and it tasted sweet. It was a sweetness that I hadn't tasted in years, and I loved every second if it. Natsu's hands soon found their way to the small of my back as the kiss deepened. Our mouths morphed into one -- I could barely tell who was who at this point. It was spectacular. I occasionally had to swallow some of the drool that the kiss was generating, however a lot of saliva was dripping out of our mouths and down our chins. It was a messy, slobbery, wonderful kiss that I would have killed to have last forever. However...

"Natsu, I'm home!"

Natsu's POV:

As soon as I heard Happy's voice, Gray's face went a pure red and he pushed me away from him. My breathing was a bit unsteady from what had just occurred, and a bead of drool was still dripping out of the corner of my mouth. I lifted my hand to wipe it.

"Eh? Gray's here?" Happy flew into the room that Gray and I were standing in with a clueless look on his face. "Weren't you going on a mission with Lyon?"

"He, uh..." Gray was clearly flustered. "He canceled on me... So.... I came here to ask Natsu to go on a mission with me. I still need to make a living, after all."

"You never--" I tried to speak up. This resulted in having Gray violently cover my still-wet lips with his broad hand.

"And he agreed," Gray said. "So we're going now."

"Now? I thought that Natsu and I were going to hang out," Happy said disappointedly.

"Nope," Gray said. "Bye." Before I could protest in any way, Gray tugged me out of the house.

"Gray, where are we going?" I finally was able to ask.

"To a hotel," he said calmly. I felt my cheeks burn hot at the word. "We're doing this again, and you're doing it sober this time..."
