imo you could make a case for almost any f/f fairy tail ship but you'd be hard pressed to find a decent m/m pairing that doesn't plunge the characters into ooc territory

team natsu vs one sleeping erza (they lose)
it’s early team natsu era. one tent. one bedroll too few. they’re all stacked like badly packed luggage in this tiny canvas triangle and lucy’s about to lose it. happy’s drooling on her arm. gray kicked off his blanket again. natsu’s curled up and radiating heat like a busted radiator and breathing directly into her neck. she can’t sleep.
but she would suffer through it—she loves these idiots, after all—if it weren’t for erza.
erza, who lies perfectly still for hours… until about 3am hits.
then she starts twitching. mumbling.
then comes the foot. it smacks natsu directly in the stomach.
lucy: “is she… awake?”
natsu, wheezing: “nope.”
“for the guild…” erza mutters. and suddenly she’s in full-on combat mode—mid-dream, clearly protecting them from some imaginary threat. only, her sleep-fighting form? flawless. horrifying. lucy barely dodges a flailing arm. gray gets smacked square in the jaw. happy is launched across the tent.
they try shaking her awake. doesn’t work. she’s re-equipping in her sleep now. lucy can’t tell if she should be impressed or terrified. (both. it’s both.)
gray mumbles something about “never camping again” before going limp. natsu’s already knocked out from the first kick. it’s just lucy now. lucy versus sleeping erza. the final boss.
“erza please,” she whispers. “it’s a tent. there’s nothing to protect us from. go back to sleep.”
“for the guild,” erza breathes, smiling. she clutches her pillow like a sword. she calms.
lucy stares at the ceiling, wide awake, and mutters: “i’m sleeping in the cart next time.”

Oh yeah i watched another video defending ft again last night . i have remembered my roots 🫡 Not like i ever lost it but ive gained a deeper perspective....
#im not sorry for hating but at least i understood the themes of it smh#im not gonna watch any video bashing on ft because ive seen all those genuine criticism enough on tumblr quora Insta twt everywhere#yeah its full of sexy fanservice yea the characters get worse overtime yea the fight choreography are ass yea you can barely call it an#animation i know!!! i know ☺️ its nice seeing someone voice out your own opinions in a comprehensive way its so cathartic#like finally!!! People who also think the art is gorgeous!!! someone who thinks Juvia Erza & Lucy are cool outside of powerscaling!!#someone who gets that we're following the entire guild not just Lucy & Natsu & their team THEY GET IT!!!!#THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT GMG IS PEAK FT#& how FT really isnt about the fights even if its labeled as a battle shonen;;;#theres people who notice how FT is extremely but subtly different compared to other shonen and im sooo glad im not the only one#thats why its the only mainstream shonen i can get behind; it doesnt really have a reader insert (? Maybe Lucy but.)#& so none of the characters rlly have any giant goal like 'Get stronger to fight the villain' or wtv#Like okay. Natsu wants to find Igneel & Lucy wants to grow stronger but the narrative never really dove deep into either of those esp Natsu#They never went on a journey to find igneel they never focused on Lucy's powers specifically getting stronger & her legitimacy of being a#Wizard; the wizard thing was already resolved by the time phantom lord arc was at its mid point i think & yes she grows stronger#but its not like shes been singled out as The Wizard that the audience has to root for#the entire damn team AND guild are more focused on whatever job / quest theyre pick out next & whatever threats currently happening#im pretty sure 100 years quest was the first & only time where it was turned into an actual 'Walk around the world go on an adventure' thing#Its really less about the world more about the characters and I think a lot of people keep forgetting that#like if it wanted to show you what creatures exist what plants there what the political climate of the country(/ies) are like#Mashima wouldn't have made the guild a PLACE they can return to. Physically.#He wouldnt have made it a place where everyone returns to before & after every quest; it wouldve wasted the time you could use to#roam around the world like cmon... the guild cant even walk like that tavern & pig from 7ds & its not like these people are in a highschool#or like forced to stay in FT yk.

Writing mostly gajevy and especially a lot of Levy centric stuff has given me a really silly phenomenon where i kind of just forget... about the main cast of Fairy Tail. Like I'll be writing a scene in the guild hall and im like well obviously Bisca would do this and Cana would tell her this. And then i need a rowdy character to interrupt them i know I'll have Jet and Droy get into an argument! And then im finishing up the scene and im like... oh i could've thrown Natsu in there somewhere he is also usually at the guild hall.

Natsu Dragneel thinks Lucy Heartfilia is weird and these are the reasons why:
- The first time he meets her, she thanks him and he’s confused because he didn’t do shit except get beat up by random women, yet she tells him that she’s somehow thankful for him
- She treats him and Happy to food, and they alternate between listening to her and stuffing their faces with meat. She talks about magic and guilds, and gushes about Fairy Tail and dreams of joining his family
- She wrecks an entire harbor and freaks out, as if Natsu didn’t do half the damage himself, but joins him when he invites her to run away with him
- Lucy is so confusing, Natsu thinks. She wears clothes that reveal much of her skin, uses her sex appeal for bargains, reads those romance novels, but gets shy at the slightest talks of love
- She forms a team with him and he picks a job requiring a blonde maid, and he thinks it’s so silly of her to dress up with a maid costume and call him master
- He finds out she’s an heiress, and he almost wants to laugh because she’s an heiress of railways and trains, and he actually laughs when he realizes that Lucy had been affecting him even before they met
- She acts like a princess most of the time, obvious in how she speaks and carries herself, and Natsu is once again reminded that she grew up with wealth but then some of her quirks show through, like how thrifty she is with money, and the irony of it all isn’t lost on him
- She looks for love most of the time, and when the opportunity presented itself in a black-haired guy who loved to read and was interested in celestial spirits, she blew it all off to join him and Happy on a job
- She jumps off a fucking tower just because she knew he’d catch her, and he did but for a second he thought he wouldn’t make it, and when he catches her, his heart beats so loudly it could almost burst out of his ribcage
- He is confused; he died as a human, was brought to life as a demon, and grew up as the son of a dragon, and lived life as a fairy tail mage. He asks Lucy how he looks like and she smiles and says like Natsu, and he collapses against her chest in relief
- Lucy cries a lot and it is a common misconception that she’s the weakest one in their team, but Natsu knows Lucy is definitely the strongest
- He is once again confused when she doubts her abilities because why would she ever feel like she is the weakest? She is a Celestial spirit mage who has 10 out of the 12 Zodiac keys, all of whom adore her in addition to having the Celestial Spirit King’s favor, she’s done leaps and bounds in terms of magic, especially for someone who has only started seriously using their magic at age 17 whereas the entire guild has started practicing it ever since they were kids, and Lucy is one of the best mages in Fairy Tail despite her incredibly short time in wielding her power
- She breaks into him and Happy’s house to clean, and throws a fit when she realizes they weren’t coming home, but softens up when she finds them asleep in her apartment
- She’s weird. She’s so weird and loud and she hides inside a clock to escape the cold weather instead of just wearing a jacket.
- He loves her, though. Natsu would never trade Lucy for anything, he loves her with all of his heart, all of her weirdness and quirky traits and the way she hugs him is nice and she smells comforting and he feels safe around her

pairing. natsu x reader
note. i'm so in love with almost everyone in this manga i can't focus on only one character i hope you'd love it as much as i do! requests are still open <3
Tumblr media
Natsu was never going anywhere without his scarf. Not only because of how important it was sentimentally for him, but also but it was more than useful for him. His scarf was probably one of the only things he cared about this much. It was like a part of himself. You were sure that you never saw him without it or giving it to anyone.  You just got back from a quest with Natsu and the rest of the team. It was a simple quest, and you were clearly too many for such an easy work. Everything was fine until you all came back. It only took a few days before you felt awfully sick. You swore that you never felt this bad in your entire life. You were at your lowest. 
You were sitting at the counter of the guild, talking with Mirajane. Or mostly she was trying to cheer you up, giving you some hot chocolate to make you feel better. You had your hands around your cup, eyes half closed because of how tired you felt. A long sigh left your lips, when you felt something wrapping around you. 
You suddenly felt so much warmer, and you turned around to look at what was happening. Natsu was there, right behind you, and something felt off about him. He had a huge smile over his lips, arms crossed. “You’re going to feel better like this!” 
You quickly realized that what was around you was, in fact, Natsu’s scarf. It caught you off guard and you looked back at him. You were about to say something but he simply left, laughing like it was nothing. 
You slowly hid your face in the scarf, burying your nose in it. It felt so warm, like there was a whole fire around you right now. But the thing that made you feel the best was Natsu’s scent which was all over your nose. It felt so comforting, and it was like your whole body was relaxing.  
You didn’t expect a simple scarf to be able to make you feel better, but there you were. You were quite sure that nothing could help you more right now. Everything was already better now, thanks to Natsu.
Tumblr media
thank you for reading!

Their relationship through Natsu's eyes
Tumblr media
Rambling about the art under cut :)
ok i had SUCH good ideas for what text to put for each of them but i forgot all of it after drawing so i put whatever came to mind. if anyone can think of smth better than what i put, plz tell me and ill change it.
idk why i thought it would be a good idea to draw back grounds too (but they turned out much better than i expected, especially the first one doesnt look like it was drawn by me)
these r some of my favourite nalu moments. the first two scenes r from episode 1.
the third one was manga only but i really love that scene and wish the anime included that. i think thats when natsu started to actually acknowledge lucy (b4 that he was kinda mean lmao). its when they save macao, natsu and macao fall off the cliff or smth and lucy saves them and natsu looks at her with a huge smile and a tiny blush haha. (also how the hck do u draw someone from that pov they were in... idk.
4th one is from when erza says they should formally become a team and natsu says it wont be the sam without lucy.
5th is nalu vs kain and 6th is from the final episode.
not lucy making the exact same face in three of them and in two others, its just the eyebrows that r different
(also WHY DID MY ART SKILLS SUDDENLY UPGRADE?? lmao. like look at the lucy i drew from like a month ago for comparison haha)

HINATA SHOYO HCS ⋆˚࿔
Tumblr media
the most contagious laughter ever like he’d just be laughing at the unfunniest shit ever and everyone else around him will be keeling over and crying with laughter
hates sitting in the middle seat and will also fight people for shotgun
horrible at lying, and horrible at keeping lies. dont tell this guy anything
that guy who says he doesnt need a jacket because its not cold out but will start shivering like a dog within ten minutes
sometimes feels really terrible that he’s like twice natsu’s age and cries over the fact that they’ll never get to be in school together at the same time
cant watch volleyball at all because he’ll get really anxious that he’s not the one playing
doesnt understand the concept of having only one best friend
biggest hypeman of the century, got worse when he met tanaka and nishinoya
no concept of personal space, and no concept of spatial awareness
post timeskip, he donates all his athletic related promotional merch to coach ukai to give to the kids he’s coaching
got so unbelievably sick when he first moved to brazil because he didnt acclimate himself to the food and ate anything he saw, which was like 80% streetfood
he’s that guy who always runs into people when he’s walking because he’ll just start drifting to the side and almost run them into the road
as much as he is stupid, he actually loves learning, and feels so terrible that he cant understand things because he really wants to
his mind works faster than his mouth, so he’s always saying the most outlandish shit
learned to love blocking because he feels like its revenge for people doubting him
hates anything scary but will watch/play them anyways just to prove that he can
as much as he loves kageyama as a friend and could never imagine a world where he never met him, he had a period in his life when he was in brazil that he blocked kageyama and his name because seeing him progress so quickly and so easily  and get better than him made him feel sick to his stomach
gets lost so unbelievably easily that when the team would go on trips for games the third years were discussing buying him a backpack leash
loves doing chores and errands, especially if theyre with other people
claps when a plane lands…
tried parkour once because tsukishima offhandedly said that he should try it (in an insulting way) and hinata ended up snapping his ankle.
was more mad he couldnt practice for like two months  over literally breaking a bone
loves sunrises and sunsets but is never awake/never outdoors for them, so when he sees one, he acts like god himself had descended from heaven just ot greet him
really competitive at stupid shit like rock paper scissors
also that kid who would carry all the chairs when the teacher would ask for a ‘big strong man’
actually backpacked around south america for like six months before settling in brazil
like literally one backpack and then like a duffle bag, lived in hostels and random peoples houses in exchange for doing work for them
didnt know that international calls costed money until after he called his family fourty times in a month for like an hour each and his phone bill was like ten thousand yen

🌼Lucy & Selene Switch Places🌼
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So this was an idea from the 4th image below. I thought about the fact that Selene has less understanding in humans, like not fully. So what if she switches places with Lucy to at least experience what it's like to go on a job/adventure with humans (with Team Natsu). Team Natsu shenanigans 🙂‍↕️
Drawing the Diablos members were smth but I had fun. I don't like how Suzaku looks like tho🥲. Misaki was fun to draw hahaha. I think this will be one of my favourite comics ever drawn. I thought of only drawing Team Skullian, but I might as well draw every member there.

From their first ever meeting, Natsu thought of Lucy as a nice person.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lucy had such genuine kindness that he wanted to form a team with her. Natsu, who only had Happy for company most of the time, wanted this nice weirdo he just met to form a team with him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Their first few interactions really make you appreciate how far they’ve come together.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
To Natsu, Lucy wasn’t Lucy Heartfilia, or Lucy of Fairy Tail at first sight. It was Lucy the Weirdo who was so Nice that she fed him even if she didn’t know him yet.
Natsu and Lucy’s relationship is so beautiful because you can see how organic it is. Even without Mashima saying it, their friendship is undoubtedly one of the strongest in the guild.
So I’m gonna wait until they get together, because at the end of the day, beneath love and all its glamour lies a strong and unshakable friendship.

Im actually dying rn (i have the common cold) so here's now i think team property damage would react to such ailments
Lucy
She gets dramatic. She is sick and she is dying. She is a beautiful flower wilting far too soon. She is sitting in her bed looking thoughtfully off into the fading evening sun and wondering if she might ever feel its warmth on her skin again. Occasionally, people come by and offer her tea and medicine, mere gestures she knows, it is far too late for her.
In all seriousness lucy takes pretty good care of herself and she will be fine in a couple of days, but during those couple of days she will spend her time alone writing and unironically make some of her best work. Something about being sick unlocks the inner Victorian in her. She is temporarily possessed by William Shakespeare as she feverishly writes the lines of her heart. Sometimes she lies about being sick just to get work done because it's the only time she can be left alone for more than a couple hours, not that it works really, because her team will SIT OUTSIDE HER DOOR and then occasionally knock and ask if she's feeling better yet (they do this at least once every hour without fail)
Gray
Gray also gets better in a couple days but inexplicably so because he does fuck all in terms of actually trying to get better. He refuses any and all medicine. All he does is lie in his house for hours in complete solitude (unfortunately for juvia). He doesnt even sleep he just fucking lies there. People will come by to check up on him, but he will always turn them away and insist he will be fine in 3 days. Nobody ever believes him, but somehow, he is spot on every single time and will show up back at the guild like nothing happened just as people are starting to qomder if hes dead. Nobody knows how or why he does this but hey man if it works it works.
Natsu
You might expect lucy to act like kind of a princess when she's sick given how she was raised but nah. Thats natsu. Natsu will go to the guild because he doesn't like being alone when he's sick and then immediately head for the medbay to make himself a pillow nest worthy of the dragon king. If anyone enters that room he will always make some kind of hyper specific request that needs to be fulfilled immediately or else he will explode. Some such requests include but are not limited to
- chicken soup at 94°C prepared by specifically lucy
- 18 entire rotissary chickens and one lime
- grays head on a silver platter (not delivered)
- for "everyone to shut the fuck up"
In all honesty, people go along with his demands because they know that his dragon sense make being sick and actual nightmare. He can't smell anything, which for him is a bit like going blind, and he's already so overwhelmed by all the things going on within his body that hearing everything within 100km radius starts to drive him a little insane. He needs to be in the guildhall because he wants to be close enough to sense everyone still, but he also cannot deal with the usual noise so he baracades himself in pillows and everyone tries really hard to be quiet for his sake. Luckily, natsu has a pretty killer immune system, so this doesn't happen often
Erza
I've already said this before but i have a hyper specific way I think she reacts. She starts off by ignoring it and going about her day, when it inevitably gets worse she will start treating it like shes fighting a war. She will go out of her way to take as many jobs as possible just to prove that she can, she will reject any and all help and it will take physically forcing it down her throat to make her take medicine. The only way she's resting is if she is tied to the bed. Her illness will go on the longest because she will work herself to exhaustion out of pure spite until she inevitably collapses and becomes weak enough that people can force her to rest. Once that happens, she will whine and moan and complain about it every step of the way because she is the worst. the only difference is now she's too tired to do anything about it.
Again, this is smth everyone only put up with because being sick is kind of awful for her. She doesn't like feeling weak. It triggers all of her worst trauma responses and everyone knows it. Luckily for the entire guild, she gets sick every couple of years so they only have to deal with that once in a blue moon.
Wendy
Wemdy also almsot never gets sick for obvious reasons, but every so often a particularly nasty cold will come along, and her healing will take a bit more time. Whenever this happens, she will go absolutely insane. She's not really used to being sick and that, plus her dragon slayer sense being fucked, will leave her convinced its her last few days on earth. She will go through the 5 stages of grief over the course of the next week until she eventually accepts her death and starts trying to find a way to say goodbye to everyone without bursting into tears. Like natsu she needs to be around people but she also needs absolute silence (even more then natsu does because where natsu has the best sense of smell of all the dragon slayers, she has the best hearing) and a constant slightly chilly air temperature or else she will actually lose it. They set her up a nest on the roof of the guildhall because the wind up there acts as natural white noise to drown out the people, and the altitude calms her down. She will only come down in the middle of the night to eat actual food. besides that, she survives off air for the foreseeable future. All things considered for a dragon slayer her demands are not that hard to meet, but even if they were the guild wouldent hesitate since shes always treating everyone else's injuries. Thank God shes not the one demanding grays head on a silver platter because then they might actually do it

I’m so so sick rn so here are some random FT sick HCs to make me feel better
Not counting his motion-sickness, Natsu doesn’t get sick, ever.
The first time Natsu ever got sick was after he ate Laxus’ lightning, and he genuinely thought he was going to die. He was using Lucy’s pens and paper to write a will and everything
Laxus actually has the weakest immune system out of all the Fairy Tail members—the lightning dragon lacrima didn’t fix his weak constitution.
If one of Laxus’ missions lasts longer than a day or two, he will be sick when it’s over. There’s no avoiding it.
Lucy is a close second to Laxus though, since she’s the only Fairy Tail member who didn’t grow up eating dirt.
When Team Natsu was first formed, no one bothered to tell Lucy the climate of where their next job was, so she was getting sick constantly.
Natsu, Erza, and Gray are used to dealing with extreme weather, so their immune systems are built to handle intense colds and heats better. they just. Genuinely did not realize Lucy actually needed to dress based on the weather
Erza had the strongest immune system out of all the kids in the Tower of Heaven, and so was usually the one taking care of the other kids when they got sick. She still tends to get a bit overbearing when one of her friends are sick.
Erza reacted the worst out of everyone when she realized it was kinda her fault Lucy was getting sick all the time. Lucy had to reassure her she wasn’t upset about a thousand times.
Loke used to pretend he was sick to cover up the fact that he was literally fading out of reality. The downside of this was that he was “sick” pretty much constantly. Half the guild still thinks he has a horrible immune system, no matter how many times he’s tried telling them celestial spirits don’t get sick.
Wendy used to get sick easily when she was very little and her body was still adjusting to having the dragon seed. Mystogan was wholly unprepared to deal with this, and spent many sleepless nights watching over a feverish Wendy.

now playing: wild thoughts - dj khaled, rihanna & bryson tiller
❅ chapter 2: wild thoughts ❅
You pondered by the window, watching as the trees and and fields blurred from the speed of the train. You could feel a pit in your stomach as you thought about the idea of going on a quest with the ice wizard. Usually, you teamed up with Natsu and Happy when doing jobs, but with the both of them out the guild at this moment, you had to take the low blow by temporarily teaming up with Gray Fullbuster. Nonetheless, it was only one job and after that, it’s back to becoming enemies again. Plus, you’re desperate for money.
You halted your daydreaming as you looked down at the job flyer, studying it's contents, especially the hefty reward. You calculated how you could split it into 50/50 with your fingers before you hear a slight chuckle. As you looked up, you noticed Gray smirking at you, his white jacket drapped over the velvet seats as his legs were shifted into a man-spread.
"Man, I just wanna get this job over with so I can go back to napping," he laid his head upon his hand as he stared upon the sceneic view of the passing greenery.
You sighed, "Trust me, I'm in the same boat. If we wanna finish this in time, we're gonna have to work together."
He chuckled at your response, "Say, [Name], why do you hate me so much? You've always had it out for me since we were kids."
You stayed silent at his question. Your hatred for Gray had multiple layers to it that it was simply too much to unveil to well...him. Every time you see his face, all you could think about is the moment you saw his master giving up her life to save the shirtless idiot. If you were in his shoes, you would've never dared to face the ruthless demon known as Deliora, and she would've been alive today. A hasty idiot who let his own master die, how could you not hate him?
"...You just left a bad impression on me, plus I hate your face," you go back to inspecting the flyer.
He hissed at your words, "So you're basically just mad at me for nothing?!"
"Look, can you save the hostility for the battlefield, or the very least, after we're done with the mission?" You rolled your eyes.
He growled at your response before going back to his original position, his body slumped onto the seat, "Whatever, witch..."
You both decided it was best to stay silent for the rest of the train ride...
----
After an hour of constantly passing the same scenery, you both finally made it to the destination. You both stretched out your ligaments after sitting in a cramped section for a long period of time.
"Man, I forgot how excruciating train rides are," the ice mage yawned as he twisted his body. Your eyes lingered a little long at his lean body, abs toned and chisled as he turned and stretched his body, as expected for a man who's constantly fighting with raw strength, it would make sense why he's built like that. Before your eyes could land on his chest, you diverted your eyes.
You cleared your throat to excuse the slight red hue on your cheeks, "Gray, where are your clothes?"
He arche his brow in confusion before looking down to see that he's now in his boxers, "Dammit! This happens every time!"
You snickered, "Can you keep the stripping to a minimum, not tryna get arrested before completing the mission." Your attempts to hold your amusment failed as you bursted out into laughter, wiping your tears in the process.
He felt his cheeks burn at your reaction to his annoying habit, it was clear you were doing this on purpose to embarrass him, "Oh shut up, lava witch! If you had this habit, it wouldn't be funny would it?!"
"Ugh! The name is getting old y'know. At least have some diversity in your insults, popsicle brain," you flicked his nose.
He grumbled as he rubbed his nose, "Lava witch..."
After leaving the station, you followed the path of the map provided by the back of the flyer. It required taking a long wooden stair path to reach the village as it wrapped around the volcano. The more you progressed on the path, the more the air started to become warmer. Humid had turned into hot, not that it really affected you as you were used to high temperatures from your lava magic. However, the ice mage seemed to be the opposite as his movements became sluggish and his body became drenched in sweat; in fact, his sweat alone can fill a bathtub.
"Hurry up, we don't got all day!" You yelled in frustration, watching him barely drag his feet as he continued struggling to step on the wooden stairs.
"Dammit, [Name], are you sure this is the right direction?! My clothes feel like they're about to melt!" He retaliated back as he continued taking baby steps along the shabby stairs.
You rolled your eyes, "You’re not even wearing clothes to begin with, and can’t you just use your ice magic to cool yourself off?!"
He groaned, "I'm tryna save my magic energy, you heat freakazoid!”
“See, I would normally be annoyed at your weird nicknames for me but they’re so painfully bad and uncreative that it makes me feel better about myself!” You yell from the top.
He growled before looking up at you, “Can you quit the bickering and help me up?! I feel like I’m gonna pass out!” You swore you saw his soul leave out of his body as he went limp on the next step.
You facepalmed before walking down the stairs to retrieve your ice companion, “I think i’ve found another reason to be pissed off at you…” You wrap his arm around your neck before using all your might to carry a napping Gray.
“Thank God I took up those endurance training sessions with Erza…” You huffed as you continued to carry the heavy man on your shoulders.
————
You finally made it to the top of the stairs before dropping the ice wizard onto the ground, catching your breath in the process.
“Good, God! Are you really that intolerable to the heat?!” You panted as you pressed your palms on your kneecaps.
“I was trained for snowstorms not volcanic eruptions!” He slowly got up, his legs wobbling like a newborn giraffe.
You grunted, “Whatever, let’s just get this stupid job over with before I throw myself in lava.” You dust off the dirt on your shirt before walking towards the village.
The village had a reddish-orange aesthetic to it, the buildings made out of clay and stone, and the village folks wore different colored garments. Very maximalist. Magnolia was already a fashionable city in itself but seeing everyone dripped in jewelry and stylish garments puts those weekly sorcerer models to shame. You could say, it was a fresh breath of air seeing a whole other aesthetic than just your average crop tops and bootcut jeans.
“You don’t look like you’re from this area. Are you perhaps tourists? Ooo, maybe you’re here for a honeymoon,” an old woman approached the both of you; Judging by her clothing and appearance, she looks to be a local.
You quickly nod your head, “Uh- no, no. We’re not married!” You cleared your throat from the awkward moment the woman created between you and Gray. You felt your ears slightly blush from the embarrassment.
“Ahh, boyfriend and girlfriend.“
“Yea…no.”
“Talking stage?”
“No..”
“Your crush.”
“Nope.”
“Situationship?”
“Isn’t that just the talking stage?”
“Ahh, lemme guess. Exes to lovers,” she nods in assurance.
“That would mean I’d have to date this idiot, which is neverrr…” You crossed arms before blowing a piece of hair out of your face.
“I could never date her, just being near her pisses me off!” Like you, he crossed his arms, his biceps and abs still glistening from sweat.
The woman ogled Gray’s shirtless torso for a bit before shaking her head to snap out of her trance, “Anyways, why come here when you’re not here to ‘get it on’ like most tourists who come here.” She jokingly does an inappropriate gesture which obviously made the both of you uncomfortable.
Your lack of research and knowledge on this place was starting to become more prominent, you never knew the village was a known tourist spot for couples or newly weds. You were too caught up with getting the job done in a hasty manner, you didn’t bother to look the place up before leaving. Not really a good thing, but oh well...
Before you could blurt out a word, Gray interrupts you, “We saw your ‘help wanted’ poster about the volcano erupting.” He wipes the sweat off his forehead with his shirt in-hand.
“…Yeah, what he said.”
The old woman’s face lit up hearing Gray’s words about taking up the job, “Oh! You must be from Fairy Tail! Yes, yes, we’ve had growing concerns about recent volcanic activity and we could really use some help to y'know...keep the volcano in check."
"Well, that's why we're here to help," you smiled awkwardly before nudging Gray's arm.
"Oh- Uh yeah, right," he rubbed the back of his head, still supporting that grumpy nonchalant face he usually has.
She smiles back, "Oh, where are my manners, I'm the village healer! So nice to meet you! And you are...?"
"Um, I'm [Name] and this is my p-partner, Gray," you stuttered at the mention of calling Gray your partner. He was still wiping the sweat off his body and fanning himself before shooting a small wave at the lady.
"You good, bro?" Your voice hinting with concern.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I just hate hot temperatures," still wiping the sweat dripping down his face and torso.
"Ohhh looking fine indeed, Gray," she started drooling at the sight of his muscular body, the rays hitting his abs perfectly to capture the glistening sweat coating them.
"Uh...what-"
"NOTHING!" She shakes her head before clearing her throat, "Anyways, about the volcano..."
----
You both listen intently on the old woman's words as she went in-depth about the situation. It seems that there have been reports of magma spillage that had been the cause of a few buildings to get destroyed. Unfortunately, none of the villagers practice ice magic as most of them adapted to honing lava magi-
"Wait hold on, then why send me and Gray on a mission together when it seems like everyone is this village specializes in lava magic?"
"I mean to be honest, we only requested an ice wizard for the job."
You bit your nail as you went into deep thinking, "Then, why did Mira- OH." You felt your eye twitch before snatching the paper from Gray's hands.
"The hell was that for-"
"SHUSH!" You stuck your pointer finger at him while inspecting the flyer again.
As you scanned between the lines of the paper, you noticed a small change added to the requirements section.
"LOOKING FOR ICE WIZARD"
It seems like someone (you already knew it was Mira) scribbled a little edit onto the 'requirements section' -- "and a lava wizard!!"
You throw the paper on the ground before glaring at Gray. "WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT?!" You then pick up the paper before walking towards the village without saying a word.
"So about your relationship with her..."
"Please stop talking..." He facepalmed.
----
While walking around the village, your eye catches the marketplace. There were a variety of stalls for you to look at: from selling exotic jewelry to strangely-shaped fruits, it was like entering a new world to you. Very reminiscent to the first time you landed at Magnolia... You were practically ogling at the sight of all the glittery trinkets and clothing laid out on the tables, imagining yourself wearing such intricate outfits.
Though villagers made it very clear that you were an outsider as they ran up to you, constantly shoving their products in your face in hopes that you buy it. You politely declined all their offers as you wanted to budget the cost of the motel and-
"Oh sweet Jesus..." At the corner of your eye, you notice a beautifully crafted dress singularly laid out on the table, as if it was beckoning for your call. It had individual gems sewed onto it, dark-red fabric with black lace to give it an elegant yet fierce looks to it. You also eyed the jewelry and accessories that would pair well with the dress.
"HOW MUCH FOR EVERYTHING?!" Your booming voice startled the poor vendor...
---
"[Name]! Where are you?!" He called out for your name in hopes of finding you around the village square. It had been 20 minutes since you ran off, the ice mage had become frustrated with your sudden absence. He groaned under his breath, "Dammit, this girl is so difficult, it pisses me off. It doesn't help that the heat here is so unbearable!"
"Gray! I finally found you!" You run towards him.
He tiredly sighed, "Thank god, I was worried-"
His eyes widen at the amount of bags you were holding, it looked as if they were about to fall off the straps at any moment from the weight of the luxurious goods you acquired.
"How much did you spend on all that..." He questioned you with concern.
"Price is just a number, cunt stays forever," you sassily flipped your hair. You look down at your bags, staring at the shiny jewels peeking out the bags.
He pinched the bridge of his nose before looking at you again, "Look, you wanna finish this mission in a timely manner, right? Then, let's get going already."
You stood there silently for a moment before speaking, "Ah fuck, you're right." You dust off the dirt on your legs before grabbing the shopping bags along with you, "Hope you don't mind, but I had to borrow a few jewels from you."
He stares at you in confusion before feeling around his pockets, "Since when did you take my wallet?!"
You deviously smiled to yourself while your back faced him, not even bothering to answer his question...
---
It had already been a long, tiring 7 hours of studying the lava’s behavior while creating strategies for Gray to cool down the hot magma. You did your best to assist Gray by meticulously bending the molten rock in hopes that it would calm down while Gray focused on cooling it down. It took trial and error to perfect the best strategy while having to beat both you and Gray’s depleting magic energy. The volcano was huge and it didn’t help that it was the two of you taking care of the problem.
As the night time hit, you saw the glowing orange start to dim as the lava reverted down to its original “sleeping form.” You felt a wave of relief as watched the molten rock solidified, wiping the sweat off your face from the strenuous job.
“We did it, oh my god! Finally!” You jumped up and down in excitement before hugging Gray. His eyes widened at your sudden reaction, the feeling of his racing heartbeat echoed in his ears as he felt your breath nearing his neck.
You opened your eyes, realizing what you had done before pushing yourself off him and slowly back away from. You awkwardly scratched the back of your ears before clearing the imaginary lump in your throat, “Sorry, that was out of habit. I usually hug Natsu and-”
After hearing your words, he snapped out of his trance before clearing his throat as well, “What? Oh yeah, I don’t care. I was mostly focusing on the hefty reward that will be getting soon.” He stretched his arms before yawning, hoping to cut the awkward tension.
“OH, yes! We should tell the village healer about finishing the job and then we can go straight home and then go back to being good ol’ enemies,” you awkwardly laughed before swiftly turning the other way to walk towards the village area.
“Aha..yea…” He followed behind you.
As you both walk down towards the village square, a hoard of villagers crowd around the both of you, thank you for preventing their village from becoming another Pompeii. They gratefully shook your hands while handing you small trinkets as a token of their appreciation for the effort you both put into the job.
The both of you smiled and greeted all of them before an old man with a fancy headpiece while carrying a walking cane approached the two of you. You bit the inside of your lips as you waited for the man to speak, “H-hello.”
He stood there silently before smiling, “Ah, I see you both prevented the eruption of the volcano. Well done I must say!”
Everyone started clapping while they whistled and yelled your names out in celebration. You shyly chuckled at his response, “Well, it would’ve been a shame if this beautiful village burnt down to molten rock.”
He grinned before correcting himself, “Where are my manners? I’m the chief of the village and I wanted to personally come down to thank the two of you for doing us a big favor by saving our village and conquering that volcano!”
“Aw come on, chief, we’re just doing our job,” he scratched the back of his head.
“No, no! In fact, we wanted to host a big feast for the two of you! Come, come!” He gestured to the both of you.
“Oh, but we gotta get home-”
He laughed, “My dear, it’s so late. I’ll let you stay overnight for free at one of our popular hotels here!”
You and Gray looked at eachother for a moment for sighing, “Well, I guess we can’t say no to that…” You awkwardly laughed as you fidgeted with your hair.
“Oh, wonderful! Our chefs have made the best dishes to treat our lovely heroes!” He excitedly grinned at you both for skipping towards the buffet table.
You sighed in defeat, you were tired, sore, and ready to plop onto bed but nonetheless, it didn’t hurt to accept their gratitude. The people were genuinely kind to the both of you, so it didn’t hurt for you to stay for a bit out of politeness.
Gray chuckled, “Man, after all that work we did the whole day, it wouldn’t hurt to feast a bit.” He patted your back before passing by you to sit down at the dinner table.
You stood there hesitant for a moment before shrugging it off before following behind him. You pulled a chair next to Gray, his focus shifting towards your sudden presence as you stared upon the giant platters of food laid out for everyone.
“Ahh, I’m so glad for the both of you to join us! Eat all you want, this is your celebration after all!” The chief laughed before munching on a turkey leg.
You smiled at his gesture before grabbing a few pieces of from the giant platters laid out on the table.
In the corner of your eye, you noticed the village girls attempting to get “friendly” with Gray. Pressing their chests along his arm, complimenting his physique, even tracing the outline of his abs through his compression shirt. It was very clear that Gray was a bit embarrassed and uncomfortable with the attention that he was getting to the point your can tell he was trying to cover the blush on his face while dismissing all their advances.
“Y’know, whatcha did for us back there was so brave of you.” A flirtatious tone in her voice, hugging onto his arm with her cleavage.
He turned his head to avoid the sight of her large breasts pressed onto him, “O-Oh, yeah it was no problem! Y’know, I couldn’t have done it without-”
“Wow! Your muscles are like…so huge. You must really take care of your body,” another girl was squeezing his other bicep while biting her lip.
He laughed awkwardly, “I do a lot of missions like these so it’s like i’m constantly exercising.” He slowly picked at the food on his plate despite the girl still stroking his arm.
“Hey, sexy, how about we ditch the dinner and we show you a great time in private,” a third girl behind him winked as she traced her finger along his shoulders and chest.
Before he could speak up, you slammed your cup onto the table hard enough to grab the girls’ attention, “Heyyy, I’m not feeling too good. I think I drank a lil too much.” You grabbed Gray’s shoulder, “Hey, partner, how bout’ you do me a favor hold my hair up while I barf in the alley, aight?” Your words slurred in the process.
He stated at you confused for a second before realizing your true motive, “O-Oh yeah! I gotchu!”
He ‘helps’ you stand up as you pretend to wobble around in a drunken state, giggling hysterically as you wrapped your arms around him. The girls scoffed as they watched you get taken by Gray to a secluded empty alley.
After you guys were out of their line of view, you quickly shoved Gray off you, “Ugh, Im never doing that again.”
You brushed yourself off before facing him again. He stood by the wall, arms crossed while trying to maintain his ‘cool’ composure, though, the light blush on his cheeks and ears say otherwise.
“Y’know it’s kinda goofy when you try to be a tough sometimes,” you snickered.
He scoffed at your words, before looking towards you with a softer look. He cleared his throat, “Thanks for that, [Name]. I was actually glad you got me outta there.” He covered the lower half of his face to hide the remaining blush from the incident.
Your demeanor changed seeing him become more somber with you. You couldn’t pinpoint it but you surprisingly didn’t hate it. Usually, being around him for more than a minute would’ve turned into full-blown physical fight. Yet, you both stood there, no hair pulling or anything. For the first time in years, it felt kind of nice not arguing with Gray over something petty.
You shook your head to break your trance before clearing your throat, “Yeah, I felt kind of bad for you so I wanted to save you. Plus, their presence was ruining my appetite.” You rubbed the back of your neck while avoiding eye contact with him.
“You better not tell anyone or else i’m gonna fucking kill you.”
He rolled his eyes, “Yeah whatever, lava witch.”
“Shut up.”
You both went silent again, only the sound of laughing and talking in the distance.
“…Should we get back to the dinner or…?”
“Oh, yeah, I’m craving dessert right now!”
You both head back to the table, returning to your seats before the server approached the both of you with slices of an orange-colored fruit.
“Never seen this typa fruit before,” he inspected it with his fork.
Suddenly, the old village healer stood behind you, startling you in the process, “That’s a special fruit that only grows near the volcano! It’s a delicacy in our village actually.”
“I’ve read about certain fruits being able to grow near volcanoes but I’ve surprisingly never seen this one before,” you continued to eye the juicy fruit.
“That’s because it only grows around this volcano specifically! We do sometimes ship it out to other countries but it’s only found at certain shops.”
You stared at it before taking a nibble at it, “Wow! This is actually pretty good!” You picked up another fruit slice, savoring its sweet soft flavor.
Gray watched you before following the same action as you, “Holy crap, It’s like I’ve died and gone to heaven.” He continued to stuff his mouth with the fruit.
You both eventually cleaned out your plates and set it aside for the waiters to pick it up.
Gray yawned, “Man, i’m getting sleepy. How bout’ showing us that hotel the chief promised us.”
The old lady giggles, “Oh yes, right this way.” She gestured for the both of you to follow her.
As you walk past the village square, Gray notices a small alley way full of women wearing skimpy outfits and shiny jewelry. All of them staring at him as they tease him with skirt lifts and unzipping a part of their shirts.
“Over here, sexy!”
“Come over here and we’ll show you a good time~”
“How bout’ you ditch that girl and get with a real woman~”
He felt his cheeks heat up before looking away in embarrassment before whispering to you, “All these girls keep flirting with me, it’s so weird,”
“I know, you’re so ugly,” You said with a nonchalant tone.
“STOP CALLING ME UGLY!”
“WELL, HOW ABOUT YOU STOP BEING UGLY!”
“WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!”
“MAYBE IF YOU STOPPED STRIPPING IN PUBLIC-“
“I TOLD YOU, ITS INVOLUNTARY!”
Suddenly, you felt a sharp pain on your cheek, you felt around the area of impact as it continued to linger there. A red handprint. planted on your face. You turned towards Gray to see he also had the same handprint on his face as well, his face scrunched from the pain.
“Quit bickering already! You sound like an old married couple!”
“Did you really have to slap the both of us?!”
“For real! You could’ve just yelled at us to stop!”
She sighed, “I did but you both wouldn’t listen to me!” She continued walking towards the hotel, “Save it for the bedroom at least?”
“For the last time, we’re not a couple!”
“Hey, you never know,” she shrugged with a smirk on her face.
You and Gray groan in annoyance as you continued to follow the woman’s lead.
Eventually, you make it to the hotel before the old lady gives her ‘goodbye’s’ to you both. You shared your thanks before waving your fair wells to her. She leaves the two of you in the lobby before a lobby boy approaches the both of you, “Hello, i’m here to escort you both to your room.” You both greet him before following him around the hotel.
“There better be two beds,” you whisper to Gray.
“And if there isn’t?” He whispered back.
“Then, you’re sleeping on the floor.”
“Ah, damn...”
The lobby boy turned to the both of you, “Is something the matter?”
“Nah, [Name] was just telling me how she wants to hurry to the room already cause’ she got some diarrhea to unload.”
“NO I DID NO-”
“Yeah, you better hurry if you want to keep your precious red carpets clean.”
“GRAY, IM GONNA KIL-”
The lobby boy let out a soft gasp, “Oh my, we don’t want that do we? In that case, I’ll make this trip quick.”The lobby boy quickly pushed the button, tapping his foot as he nervously waited for the elevator.
With his back turned away, you glared back at Gray, you can tell he’s trying his best to hold in his laughter at the immediate reaction to his lie.
“I’m so gonna kill you when we get back to the guild…”
“Hey, you’ve been ragging on me this whole trip. Lemme have my moment to shine.”
“YOU COULD’VE CHOSEN ANYTHING BUT DIARRHEA??”
“Oh, come on. You’ll live.”
“Well, now I want to die!”
After the excruciatingly 20 second elevator trip, the lobby leads you both to your suite. He takes out a golden key before opening the door, the room was decorated to the brim with gold and white, an elegant look to it. Though, what caught your eye was the singular queen sized bed…
Your jaw dropped at the single bed, “Ahaha, this must be a mistake. I thought it was two beds.”
The boy arched his brow at you, “The chief specifically told us to reserve a single bed suite for the both of you. He thought that you guys would like to have some time alone together during your stay.”
You felt your eye twitch, “Did he think that me and Gray…”
“You guys are a couple, are you not?”
“UM, no?? If anything, we were forced on this job together!” You felt your heart pounding from the adrenaline.
“And I don’t want to share a bed with the lava troll!”
The lobby boy sighed, “I’m apologize for the inconvenience but unfortunately i’m not authorized to switch rooms for you both as all the rooms are completely filled up this weekend.”
“Fucking holidays…” Gray mumbled under his breath.
You sighed before facing towards the boy again, you gave him a crooked smile, “It’s fine, we can figure it out. But we thank the village chief for allowing us to stay at one of your finest hotels."
The lobby boy apologized profusely before handing you the key and closing the door for the both of you.
You both dropped your bags as you sat down on the edge of the bed, distressed about the possibility of having to share a bed together.
————
Awkward. Silent. The sound of the clock ticking as time passed by at a slow rate. You appreciated the chief’s generous actions but the thought of sharing a bed with emo Jack Frost has been eating you up the entire time. But hey, it’s only for one night. What’s the worse that can happen?
“Uh, you don’t mind if I shower first, right? I wanna get this volcano ash off me.”
You sighed, “Yeah, sure, whatever..” You rubbed your temples, attempting to get rid of your stress.
“Come on, [Name]. One night isn’t gonna hurt. We’re gonna have to put aside our rivalry for just this time and then we can go back to beating eachother up once we get back to the guild.” He softly sighed as he grabbed one of the complimentary towels from the bathroom rack.
“Ok, well, it’s not just because we’re rivals but it’s also because your- well- a man! Plus, you have a bad stripping problem!”
“Ugh, fine, I promise I won’t take off all my clothes when we go to sleep…even though I prefer sleeping naked.”
“Gross! Don’t admit that!” You throw a pillow at him which he deflects.
He snickered, “Joking, I’m gonna shower now.”
You stick your tongue out at he closes the bathroom door, the sound of rushing water followed after. You decided to look around the room while you waited for popsicle boy, the room was spacious which went beyond comfort for you personally. A free suite? Now, who would pass that up? You were also hoping to find some extra clothes you could wear for the night. You didn’t plan on staying overnight in the village so unfortunately, you had no extra pajamas you could change into.
You looked in the closet to find a two pairs of white pajamas, “Sweet.” As you grabbed a pair, you felt a tingle up your spine. At first, you passed it off as just a normal bodily function until you suddenly felt your body temperature start to increase. Blood started pooling in your cheeks, tinting your cheeks red as if you just came back from a hot sunny day at the beach.
“What the hell is happening? Why does my body feel like it’s over heating…”
You collapsed onto the ground, your legs weak like a newborn fawn learning how to walk. You could feel beads of sweat dripping down your forehead, your breathing becoming heavier.
“Oh god, what if I ate something that I was secretly allergic to at the dinner? I never get hot, i’m a lava wizard for christ’s sake!” You whined as you shaking wiped your burning forehead.
You slowly lifted your head to stare at the body mirror: your face was beet red, sweat had started to form profusely to the point your clothes started feeling sticky, your hands couldn’t stop shaking no matter how hard you tried to control it.
Suddenly, the sound of pattering water had come to a halt, only drips of water had echoed behind the door to the bathroom.
You cursed at yourself as you attempted to grab the tissues on the bedside table, wiping the sweat off your face and body. You felt your adrenaline rush as you sat down, attempting to gain your composure before Gray could open the door.
The sound of the door knob being twisted before the door swung backwards, there stood a shirtless Gray. Your eyes lingered at his still dripping wet abs, toned and chiseled, an obvious sign that the ice wizard works out in his free time. The Fairy Tail emblem tattooed on his right pectoral, and a silver cross chain necklace to go along with his ‘cool bad boy look.’ Dear God, you could not stop staring at how huge his pecs were, like two pillows (would put those D-cups to shame). Your eyes trailed down to his protruding v-line, smooth and hairless. The towel covering up the place that is not for YOUR eyes to see. It didn’t help that his damp raven black hair was in a sexy pushback.
You felt your heart race as you saw the ice mage stand there in nothing but a towel. So many dirty thoughts pooled into your head at the sight of seeing him. You squeezed your eyes shut before looking away, your face was already red as it was but seeing Gray out the bathroom made your reaction even worse.
“O-Oh my- Gray, can’t you put on some clothes!”You still had your eyes tight shut.
“You see, that’s the problem. I realized that I didn’t bring any clothes so-”
“Cover up for God’s sake, you couldn’t have some decency to put on a shirt?! Have some decorum!” You stuck your hands out in front of your face to hide the raging blush on your cheeks.
He scoffed at your reaction, “Why’re you making it such a big deal? You’re acting as if you hadn’t seen me shirtless multiple times.”
You couldn’t properly answer, you just turned your head away from as you mumbled to yourself.
His face twisted from confusion to concern as he slowly crouched down to your level, gently grabbing your face. He could already feel the burning sensation from your increased body heat, “Jesus, you got a fever or something? Why’s your face so hot? And your face is so red!”
He slowly turned your face, his eyes widened by your tomato-colored face, sweat still dripping down your face as your breathing was still erratic.
He noticed your timid actions, the way you fidgeted with your hands and hair while attempting You still had your eyes tight shut. to avoid eye contact with him. He cleared his throat before calling out your name, “Uh, [Name]?”
“Huh? What do you want?” You scrunched your brows in confusion, a bead of sweat dripped down your face.
“You look like you’re about to melt into a puddle of water.”
You swipe your forehead to feel the moisture in your hand, “It’s just hot right now.”
“Thought you never get hot in humid conditions. Plus, it’s gotten cooler since night fall.” He gently laid the back of his hand on your forehead and cheek.
You whinced at his touch, you couldn’t explain it but it made you kind of nervous, hell, even embarrassed. You felt like a crushing school girl, the way Gray was gently caressing your cheek, his close presence next to you was making you feel some type of way towards him. A part of you was trying to deny that it was probably just your weird ‘allergic’ reaction making you feel delusional. Yet, another part of you couldn’t help but feel a bit pleased with the way Gray was acting towards you despite your hatred for the ice wizard.
“I’ll cool you down with my ice powers, alright?”
You nodded back in assurance, your heart still racing from the closed distance between you and Gray.
He sighed before using his ice magic to cool down your rising body temperature. Immediately, you felt some type of relief at the chilliness, you sighed as you felt your uncomfortableness start to fade away. His expression had become more relaxed at your noticeable reaction, “Better?”
Although, the ‘feverish’ feeling had went away, your heart still pounded at the sight of your icy rival. You tightly clutched your fists as you felt a wave of need start to pool below your belt. Oh God, what is this feeling?
All you could think about was how much you wanted him to rip away at your shirt as you watch the towel on waist slide down, revealing the end of his defined v-line. You felt so dirty. In all the years you’ve known Gray, you’ve hated his guts with a deep burning passion. Ok…maybe it was more of jealousy but of course, you would never admit that.
He was just some snarky annoying stripper who always said the right things to rile you up. Just seeing his face made you want to turn it into a punching bag.
Yet, here you are: squeezing your thighs as you ached to stimulate the neediness between your legs.
“Gray,” your voice hushed but loud enough for him to hear.
“Uh, yeah what’s up?” He questioned you, still confused about your strange behavior.
“I can’t believe I’m doing this,” you mumbled under your breath.
He arched his brow at your statement, “Doing what?”
You grabbed the sides of his face before pressing your lips onto his. He let out a surprised noise, muffled from your suffocating kiss. You quickly unlatched your lips from his, a string of saliva connecting the two of you.
“D-Did you just…” He stuttered, a deep red dusted on his cheeks from your initial reaction.
You wiped your lips before turning away in embarrassment, “Oh god, what have I done?! I just kissed you!”
His heart started to beat faster than ever. Not too long ago, you were ragging on him for embarrassing you in front of the lobby boy. Next thing he knew, you started kissing him out of nowhere!
“Why did you do that?” His face turning a bright red.
“I don’t know?! I just- fuck! Seeing you in that towel is making me feel weird!” You covered your face in shame.
He couldn’t deny it, he did have some tiny attraction for you but passed it off as physical attraction. Not to mention, feistiness was kind of a turn on for him. There were times you would get into a fight/argument with him, just for him to get back home and jerk off while replaying it in his head. As much as he disliked your behavior towards him, he couldn’t help but be drawn to you somehow. He always liked your reactions when he teased you.
He smirked, “Well, it’s not like I’m hating, princess.”
You felt your cheeks heat up, “E-Excuse me?”
He got close to your face, the feeling of breath hitting your lips, “I wouldn’t mind letting you slide this towel off me.” His lips landed on yours, his tongue parting your lips forcefully as it intertwined with yours. You let out a soft moan as you melted into the sensation of his lips. Before you could reach for the towel on his waist, you break off the heated kiss.
“Oh god, I just kissed you…again!” You pushed yourself off him.
He rolled his eyes before pulling your arm, dragging you towards him. He whispered sensually in your ear, “And we both liked it.”
You felt your ear blush, “I hate you, you know…”
He smirked, “Normally, you get on my nerves but the way you’re biting back is pretty hot.” His lips landed on your neck, nibbling the ticklish flesh.
You whimpered at the sensation of his warm tongue lapping over your skin. The way his mouth suctioned into you like an octopus, you didn’t want to admit it but it felt good…So, so good.
He eventually unlatched his lips from your neck, saliva connecting to the now purple mark stained onto your skin. He gave it one last lick before smirking back at you, “Oops, can’t let Mira see this or else she’ll get on our asses.” A snarky tone in his words.
You sighed deeply, as if you were holding your breath the whole time, “Gray-”
He used his pointer finger to pull down the collar of your shirt, revealing more of your cleavage. He whistled at the sight, “Don’t remember you having these…”
You scoffed, “Ever heard of puberty?”
He hooked his finger under your shirt, “Mmm, well thank god for that…” He gave it a light tug, pleading for you to take it off. He loved the way it hugged your figure, the way the v-neck teased that bit of cleavage.
You caught onto his actions before slowly peeling off the shirt, revealing the white sports bra you had on under. It didn’t make sense. Why were you willingly stripping for him? It’s not like he was even forcing you to do this…
“Damn, boring much?”
“It’s called practicality, idiot.”
“Well, it would’ve been practical for me if you had worn a clip-on bra instead,” he gently pulled the sports bra off you, revealing your exposed perky breasts in-front of him. Your exposed nipples hardened from the coldness of the air. A sign of Gray’s magic activating near you. His voice deep like a growl, “Oh wow…”
You whinced as he flicked your nipples, rolling them between his fingers as he toyed with them like a cat.
“Ah…Gray, please.”
“Mmm, please what, Princess?” He groped your breast, giving it light squeezes as he circled your areoles.
“A-Ah mmm please, keep touching me.” You felt that same wave of heat wash over you again as you gripped his forearm, biting your bottom lip as you attempted to hide your moans.
He smiled at the scene unfolding before him, “Your shitty attitude has been pissing me off this entire day, I’d rather see you whine on the floor like a cat in heat while you beg for me to make you cum.”
“Oh fuck y-” Your sentence is cut off when he pinches your nipples, throwing your head back at the mix of pain and pleasure.
“Wanna say that again, princess?” He looks down at you with a devious grin.
You stammer, “F-Fuck y-you.”
He chuckles before getting close to your ear, his voice going down an octave, “Keep talking like that or I won’t touch your pussy.”
God, his voice is so sexy.
“Urgh, fine.”
“Good girl.”
He released his tight grip on your nipples before slowly sliding his muscular hand down your pants. You hiss at the feeling of his cold hands on your pelvis before you feel the pressure of his index on your clothed clit.
“Naughty girl, already getting wet from me touching your nipples,” he teases circles onto your protruding clit.
You let out a hushed moan as you felt your needy pussy begged for his touch.
He rolled the bundle of nerves between his fingers as he looked down at your pathetic stance, your panties becoming even wetter than before. His dick getting harder by the second as you moaned at his touch.
“Just this once…make me cum, oh god…” You whined while involuntarily grinding on his fingers. Your hips moving to their rhythm.
He flicked your bean faster as you whined for him, increasing the volume of your moans.
“Fuck, keep moaning like that and I’ll cum under this towel,” already feeling the tip of dick leaking with pre-cum.
Your breath hastened as his fingers worked miraculously on you, your thighs clenching ground his arm as if it were suffocating it. You grab onto your shoulders as you felt your body give into the pleasure of the ice wizard.
“Heh, if you weren’t such a bad girl, I would’ve made you cum on my dick…”
You couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed from your own karma punching you in the face. Maybe it was the hormones but you wouldn’t have complained if he pinned you the bed and fucked your brains out then and there.
“God, girl, you’re gonna give me a heart attack.”
You felt your body chase the high as your pussy became sloppy from his touch, tears welling up in your eye ducts in the process.
You were able to mutter a single word, “Please…”
He smirked at your pathetic attempt at begging before his fingers moved at an inhuman speed.
“Gray, I’m gonna cum sto-”
Your words were cut off as you reached your limit, your body trembled from ecstasy as you let yourselves go on his touch. Your skin felt hot to the touch, sweat dripping down your naked body, your clit felt swollen and tired.
Gray took his hand out of your panties, his pale fingers now coated with your creamy liquid before licking it seductively.
“Mmm, taste good, princess.”
“Shut up.”
You attempted to lift yourself off the floor as if you were a newborn giraffe learning to walk, yet, your attempts were deemed unsuccessful. You fell back down before glaring at Gray with a flushed expression.
He laughed at your pitiful attempt, “Oh man, I didn’t know I was that good!”
“Just get me on the bed you idiot,” you retorted.
He playfully rolled his eyes before scooping you up princess style, plopping you down on the bed, “Happy?”
“Very,” you said in a snooty remark.
As he lays down next to you, he turns toward your direction, “Let’s do that again.”
“Nope.”
You quickly pulled the covers over your still damp body before clicking the light switch on the lamp. The room now filled in dark silence.
As you closed your eyes, you felt your conscious drifting away as you wondered how the next day would turn out…
a/n: sorry for the rushed ending, i’ve lost my touch since i first wrote this months ago 😞

Fic Rec | Kagehina
Kageyama Tobio/Hinata Shoyo (KageHina)
note: please mind the tags when you click on the links, some are rated E for explicit.
Endgame by artemisia_HQ ★
Kageyama thought he's already abandoned all the unwanted feelings he had for his greatest rival and best friend, but he's proven wrong when just one look at Hinata has them all bubbling up to the surface, and he thinks, this time, he might not be able to suppress them.
I'd love you if you'd let me & other secrets by mochimatcha
Somewhere along the way, Hinata had become completely, irreparably, hopelessly in love with Kageyama Tobio - his best friend. He was totally fucked.
Five Proposals by dayoldcupcake
Kageyama proposes to Hinata four times, and four times Hinata says no.
if it wasn't for you by halfbloom (diphylleias) ★
A long moment passes between them, and Hinata watches, starstruck, as Heitor’s eyes linger on Nice’s silhouette from across the venue. His voice is deep, rich, all encompassing. “Some people change your life just by being in it, and you don’t want to let that go.” Huh, Hinata thinks grandly.
Self Control by artemisia_HQ
Lacking restraint is just one of the few things people use to describe the notorious weird duo. But Hinata knows more than anyone that this specific trait of theirs applies not just on court, but on the sheets as well. Or on the leather seat of Kageyama's car.
for the best of all possible worlds by tinygumdrops (curryramyeon) ★
Kageyama Tobio and Hinata Shouyou meet, while being on different sides of the world.
kageyama's accidental first year harem by onceandforall
three times the new karasuno first years are intimidated by vice captain kageyama and one time they all want to get to know him
must be fate (or just coincidence) by emleewrites
Shouyou holds a form from the Japan’s National Men’s Volleyball Team. It’s not very long. It’s just for his uniform. It wants his measurements, his shoe size, things like that. The requirements to make a uniform tailored for him and only him. He drops the form back down onto the desk and taps his pencil against the paper. He’s already filled out the sections for his measurements and now there’s only one left. What number he wants.
negative creation by skyscapes
How do you steal a god? It’s easier than it looks — you steal his story. You create a contradiction. The gods of Spring and Death aren't so different.
now it seems as though we speak a completely different language (but you'll always be as beautiful as the moment that we met) by jublis
Hinata Shouyou learns how to stand on his own two legs. Featuring one too many complicated emotions, Kageyama Tobio, and hunger.
five star review by emleewrites #
Hinata Shouyou is a decorator hired by a new client - the unfairly hot and weirdly grumpy Kageyama Tobio - to paint his living room and fix a few cupboard doors. The job should take him two days. Somehow, it takes him an entire week.

your leg my leg your arm my arm by batman ★
Life's hard when your only source of income is fighting your boyfriend on national television.
look at the light by aruariandance
It hurts to breathe around you, Hinata thinks, then ducks his face into his shoulder.
In Transit by Mysecretfanmoments
Hinata finds that he likes standing close to Kageyama on buses and trains. It doesn't mean anything--probably. Maybe.
somnambulism by emleewrites ★
In which Hinata has always had a habit of sleepwalking, but has recently added sleep volleyball to his repertoire.
In August, you jump higher than rockets can fly by fuchsverse
August was rich colours and empty sunscreen shelves; was crab-red skin.
part the sea by mountsky ★
Kageyama Tobio, aged seven, doesn’t like the ocean. He likes things clean. Ordered. And the ocean is inherently unpredictable and messy. He can appreciate its power. But that doesn’t mean he enjoys it. Sand in his shoes, the smell of sea water on his clothes. He doesn’t like the ocean. And then he meets Hinata Shoyou, aged seven, who loves the ocean. Sand in his hair, water drying on his shoulders, seaweed stuck to the curve of his ankle, sunburn over his flushed cheeks. And a gap toothed smile.
two slow dancers by quietkids
Kageyama is 22 and stupid and Hinata Shoyou is 23 and not a boy anymore.
the heart is a muscle by onewhodiedyoung ★
A tale of two oceans.
you, boy by hoeseoksdimple
You may not look like it, but you have always been a firm believer in soulmates.
