Hickey II

#

"Come in." Gray heard his son's voice from inside his room and opened the door slowly and Gris was sitting on the bed, a book in hand. "Oh, god." The teenager groaned in annoyance when he saw his father's expression. "We are going to talk about it, aren't we?"

"Yes, we are going to talk about it. Would you rather I call your mother?" Gray entered the room, closing the door behind him. "One of us has to talk to you and how do you think this will go with her, huh?"

Gris's cheeks reddened a little. "I guess you are the least of two devils."

"Love you too, kid." Gray rolled his eyes and pulled a chair so he could sit down facing his son. "Now, let's talk and get this over with."

"This is gonna suck, isn't it?" Gris mumbled.

"Pretty much so, so let's get started and I can leave the moment we are done." The older Fullbuster said and Gris sighed, nodding, accepting there was no escape. "We have two things to discuss and we'll start with the easiest one: protection."

"Dad!" Gris's usual pale face was red.

"Hey." Gray told his son, serious. "I know this is embarrassing and I know you would rather be doing anything else than talking about this right now, but this is important."

"Iggy and I just kissed, we didn't do anything else." Gris managed to say and Gray smirked.

"Yeah, I don't believe that." He snorted. "For you to get that hickey I highly doubt you two were just kissing it was clearly not the first time. How long has this been going on?"

Knowing he was backed on a corner, Gris mumbled: "Three months."

"Makes more sense." The Ice Mage nodded slowly. "That's three months of sexual frustration right there."

"Dad!" Gris complained and Gray had to bite down a smiled – his son was so easy to rile up it was funny. "I told you nothing else happened."

"Yet." Gray was serious again. "Nothing happened yet but it will. It might not happen tomorrow, or a month from now or even with Iggy but it will happen and the least I could do is try to do my job and talk to you." Gris stayed quiet and Gray took a breath before speaking again – it wasn't the best conversation he ever had, but it was his fatherly duty. "You know there are ways of preventing a pregnancy-"

"Oh, god." Gris moaned.

"And some of those are medicine and condoms." Gray practically cringed saying 'condoms' to his son, but he needed to keep going. "Condoms are safer because it also prevent diseases alongside with pregnancies. Always use a condom. Always, do you hear me?" Gray was very serious. "I don't care if you want to have sex with a girl, a boy, three, four people, I don't care. Condoms always and from now on I need you to always have at least one on your bag." Gray told him. "Your Uncle Gajeel didn't use them and ended up with the twins earlier than planned. Thankfully Gajeel and Levy loved each other and the children were wanted and loved from the first moment. Others do not have that luck."

Gris nodded, solemn, thinking about all the orphanages he knew and were full.

"Good." Gray cleared his throat. "I also need to tell you condoms are not a hundred per cent trustworthy. Just about ninety-nine per cent." Gris' eyes widened considerably. "Didn't know that, huh? Look, nothing apart from celibacy is a hundred per cent efficient. Even if you wear a condom and the girl take medicine, she could still get pregnant. It's unlikely, but not as uncommon as you might think."

"What?" Gris' little high-pitched voice was funny.

"Didn't know that, did ya?" Gray crossed his arms and rested his back on the chair. "See? We really needed to have this conversation."

"But... If nothing is a hundred per cent effective... what people do?"

"Play with the odds." Gray shrugged. "I just want you to know that the odds might not be on your favor and in truth, someone's gotta be the one percent."

"Shit." Gris said under his breath. "I don't..."

"Look, son." Gray interrupted. "I am not telling you this into scaring you into not having sex. It would be very hypocritical of me. I am telling you this so you understand the risks, even as slim as they can be. Condoms are usually fine and when do we use condoms?" Gray asked.

"Always." Gris mumbled. "No matter with who."

"That's right." The older Fullbuster nodded his approval. "I assume you don't know how to put one on so here's what we are going to do: tomorrow I'll buy a box and leave here and you... well, practice." Gray would be fighting a Dark Guild on his on if he had the option instead of saying those words to his son. "Trust me when I say that you don't want your first time putting one during your first time." Gray snorted.

"Oh, god." Gris finally hid his face with his hands.

"Look, I don't know where you'll practice, I am sure we have bananas somewhere-"

"Okay, dad!" Gris all but yelled. "Practice putting them on, got it. Move. On."

"Right." Gray cleared his throat. "Any questions about it, just... you know... ask me." Gris nodded. "Alright, now that's covered – I guess – it leaves us with the next point, a very important one: pushing limits and being ready."

"I would never push Iggy into doing something she doesn't want to." Gris told with confidence and Gray felt proud of his son – he was a good boy.

"I know you wouldn't, buddy." Gray put a hand on his son's shoulder. "But I wasn't talking about just about her limits, I was talking about yours too."

Gris was clearly confused. "What do you mean?"

"There are two people in this: you and Iggy. You might be ready and she's not or she could be ready and you're not." Gray explained. "Just because you are the guy, doesn't mean you are ready at any second."

Gris seemed to have something on his mind so Gray waited until the teenager was comfortable enough to ask whatever it was.

"But... uh..." His face was so red, the poor boy but if he was asking, he was feeling more comfortable, to Gray's relief. "When I'm with Iggy, things happen... down... south?"

Gray raised an eyebrow and cleared his throat. "Yeah, that happens when you are having a good time with a girl you fancy. But just because your body tells you and acts as if it's ready, it doesn't mean your mind is ready and for this to work well, mind and body should be in synch."

"Oh." It seemed Gris never thought it that way and for the first time, Gray thanked his wife for making him have this conversation with their son. "So... if I'm not ready, completely ready, it's... fine? It won't be weird?"

The poor boy.

Gray thought for a moment about his answer. "Let me tell you something about me, from when I was younger." He started. "I've had issues for a long time, I still have some twenty years later, actually, but back then I was a very closed up person, it took me time to trust anyone and to Your mother was ready for everything long before I was. She was ready to kiss me, hold hands, kiss in public, touching, all that." Gris moaned in disgust with the mention of his mother, but Gray didn't hold it against him, it was his mother, after all. "She got ready to have sex and from all I heard, I was supposed to be too because I was the guy, the man.

"But I wasn't ready. Not for a while and your mother knew that and do you know what she did?" Gris shook his head. "She waited until I was ready and let me tell you, it took a while. Sure, she tested the limits from time to time to see where I stood, but she always backed off when she saw I still needed time."

"Didn't that make you feel... I don't know..."

"Less of a man?" Gray crossed his arms over his chest. "Yeah, a bit. One time I heard some crap and decided enough was enough and I must've been ready, it had been months since we started dating and I go to your mother, mad as hell, scared shitless but determined."

"What happened?" Gris was curious.

Gray snorted. "Your mother saw right through me and refused to do anything because I was not being her 'Gray-sama' and she didn't want it to happen like that." Gray had been so lucky to find his wife, so, so lucky.

"Really?"

"Yeap." He nodded. "And then, one day, I knew I was ready and that day she saw it too." Gray smiled fondly at the memory. "It wasn't perfect by any usual standards, but it was perfect for us and that's what I want for you, kid. I want you to be ready when it happens and I want you to know your partner is ready as well. It's so, so, so good when you are on the same page." Gray told his son. "I want you to not feel pressured, to do things on your time and to respect whoever you are with. Can you do that? Can you know your limits?"

Gris stayed in silence for a few moments before he nodded. "I can try."

"Good enough, I guess." Gray sighed in relief. "I know this conversation isn't what we wanted to happen, but I am glad it did."

"Weirdly enough, me too." Gris smiled, shy.

Gray smiled and got up from the chair. "Okay, so tomorrow I'll leave the condoms on your bed."

"Aaaaaand the mood is ruined." The teenager rolled his eyes, cheeks reddening again.

The Ice Mage chuckled. "I just became a father again three years ago, I will not let you give me a grandchild for at least fifteen years."

"Alright, it was a nice talk, but it's time to go." Gris pointed at the door.

"Okay, okay." Gray laughed. "Just tell me once more when do we use condoms?"

Gris sighed, clearly tired. "Always."

"Atta boy." Gray said and walked towards the door but before he opened, he turned to look at his son. "Any questions, come to me." Gris nodded. "Are we good?"

"We are." Gris agreed. "But can you please tell mom everything is covered so I don't need to have this conversation with her too? She is my mother."

"Yeah, that wouldn't go too well." Gray chuckled. "Don't worry."

"Thanks, dad. Good night."

"Good night, kid."

AN: I hope this was cute and educational at the same time!

Remember: boys and girls can be pressured into having sex too early, before they are ready. Not just girls and this shouldn't happen to either. Please, do not have sex if you feel uncomfortable with the situation or the person you are with. It is an important step and it shouldn't be ruined.

Thanks for reading!
