Time-Bound Motion

Motion 2: Not Your Typical Session

"This is what I hate about you! Why can't you just shut up? Why do you have to butt in my own thoughts and just crash me down!" Natsu yells and shakes Gray. "I know my own predicament and I know I should meet their expectations but you don't have to remind me every single damn time about my failure!" 

To put Gray as dumbfounded is even an understatement. Natsu never acts like this, the idiot would only either be pissed or get along with the joke. "What the hell are you even talking about!" Gray argues and grabs his shoulder to push him away.

"Stop pushing me away when I'm talking!" Natsu slams him down again. "Listen to me, bastard. I don't know what stupidity you believe I have, but stop shoving expectations on me. I already have enough of that!" 

"Let go, flame-brain!" Gray tried to kick Natsu off, but it only resulted for the other to bear his weight on him. "Shut up. Quit you--"

"No! you shut up!" Natsu hollers and Gray closed his mouth. "I'm talking to you! I want you to listen! Is that so impossible? Don't fuck around!" the hold around his collar tightened. 

"I don--"

"Stop shutting people off when they want to be understood!" Natsu pleads. Gray blinks, Natsu's lips were quivering, and his hold loosened. 

Gray reaches for Natsu and ran his fingers through his pink hair. 'Ah, it's really soft,' he thought. He remembered that one time Natsu let him do this, that time when they visited his home. 'Why you, of all people, the one who I get most fights into, is the one who knows what to say to me best?' he thought. Natsu freezes.

It's probably because of that. They always exchange words and ideals. They already know what the other is thinking to the point they already know what to say to each other. Whether it was intentional or subconsciously, no one knows. 

The door slams open, startling them both. "Gray, I-- oh? Oh!" Loke gawks. "Ah.. I... I'm sorry, I should've knocked. I didn't know you guys were like that. I'll leave you!" he rants and closes the door shut. "Oh, use protection," he chirps and threw a box of condom.

Natsu and Gray exchanged dumbfounded looks. Now that they grabbed a hold of their situation, Gray's eyes traveled from Natsu's messy hair to his well-toned body to his thighs. He looks away with a blush. Natsu, looks down on their position.

"Ah..." he gapes then jumps off Gray's bed. He forgot he was still in his towel. He combust and stutters. 

"Just get change, idiot," Gray mutters through his palm, which Natsu didn't notice makes it up to his mouth. Natsu, still in dazed, nodded. 

Gray knows that the dragon slayer was still processing Loke's assumption. Gray watches him as he made his way back to the bathroom and closes the door. Gray gets off his bed and picked the box of condoms. He took a deep breath, then glared at nothing in particular. He nearly crushed the box, so he threw it inside his drawer. He's pretty sure that Rogue would find it if he threw it on the trash can. 

He flinched as he heard a scream. He turns to the bathroom and deadpans. "Seems like it finally sunk down," he sighs and pocketed his hand. He sits down on his bed and grabbed his phone, he messages Loke.  

Gray: Idiot, get back here.

Typing...

Loke: Are you two done?

Typing...

Gray: Fuck you! Don't get the wrong idea.

Typing...

Loke: No and I think I know what I see...

Gray scowls and curses the other.
