AN: I do not own Fairy Tail ( however I really wish I did xD) also, this will be a more modern day fic. There will be some really sad parts, along with happy ones. I have the general idea of how I want this to go, but I usually end up changing my mind about half way through so bare with me lol. There will be Yaio, that means guy on guy. I'm not sure if it will be more of an innocent fluff or a more adult take on it so just consider yourself warned either way. Don't like yaio, don't read it! Other than that, I hope you enjoy the story and don't forget to R&R! :)

THE CURE

Gray wasn't feeling well. It was too hot. Everything he touched burned, and it was like his insides were liquid fire. He stumbled to the kitchen, trying to get some water. I don't understand whats happening My vision is getting blurry and my limbs feel like lead. I can barely walk. I need some water, something to cool the fire inside me. He thought, reaching for a glass. He never made it to the sink though. Glass shattered as he fell to the floor, his breathing slowing as he lost consciousness.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Natsu hadn't seen Gray in a while. He missed the fighting and was getting really pent up with nothing to take his extra frustrations out on. The mission board was empty for the fifth day in a row and he was getting extremely agitated Bored out of his mind he decided to go look for the raven headed boy. Natsu walked up to Grays door and knocked, after waiting for what seemed like forever with no answer he busted the door in "Gray! come fight! I cant stand this!" he called out, but no answer came. He walked around the living room, pausing when he smelled something odd. He rushed through the house, following his nose until he found Gray laying in a heap on the kitchen floor.

"Gray! Wake up man!" Natsu yelled, shaking the boy. He is so warm. Almost too much for me to touch. This cant be good. He thought, pulling the normally cold person into his arms. Natsus only thought as he picked the other boy up was that he had to get help, and fast. He could barely see the other boy breathing, and he was getting worried as his body began to get even hotter. Natsu bolted through the guild doors, calling for Mira to get the healer.

"What happened?" asked Mira, coming to his side. "I have no idea, I just found him like this" the pink haired boy replied, carefully laying Gray down on a long table. His breathing was getting shallower, and Natsu was even more worried. By the time Porlyusica came Grays breathing had evened out, but Natsu was still sitting by his side worried about his frienemie.

Porlyusica checked over Gray, as soon as she figured out what was wrong she sucked in a sharp breath. "Who found the boy?" she asked, concern deep in her eyes.

"Uh...I did?" Natsu replied hesitantly. She asked Mira to take Gray to a room where he could rest for a while, and she pulled Natsu out side to talk to him in private. She leaned against a big tree, contemplating how she would tell the young man what was wrong with his friend. She didn't know how he would take it, or if he would even be willing to undertake the path she was about to put before him. I hope he can handle this, she thought, otherwise that boy in there will just continue to get worse.

"Natsu," she began, "Gray has been cursed. And you, being the lucky one to find him, will have to help lift this curse. The longer we take the worse his condition will get, until eventually, he will die." Porlyusica kept her eyes on the young man as she gauged his reaction. He seemed to be eager to help, but she didn't know how he would take the next few minutes of the conversation.

"OK," Natsu said, waiting on her to continue explaining

"First, we must get him someplace safe. This will take a long time to cure, and he will need twenty four hour supervision during the process. You will have to be the one to take care of him Natsu, as you were the one that found him." she explained, and Natsu shook his head. "That doesn't seem too bad." he said, "What will I have to do exactly?" She bowed her head and mumbled.

"What was that? I couldn't hear you."

"I said, you will have to...have relations with him. You will have to bathe him in a special mix of herbs every night, and then you will have to fuck him."

Natsu paled at what she was saying. I cant have sex with Gray! He is my rival! There has to be another way! "Is...isn't there...i don't know...some other way to fix him?" he asked, visibly paling.

"No, mi afraid not. The longer you wait the worse he will get Natsu. You need to take him home immediately and wait there for me to bring you the herbs along with instructions. There is one thing though, he wont remember any of it Natsu. You and I will be the only ones to know about this. If you start treatment tonight, then in two weeks time he will awaken, none the wiser." she finished explaining and watched as her words penetrated through his pink haired head and a blush spread across his cheeks.

"Fine." he finally conceded, storming back inside and looking for the room Gray had been taken to. I cant believe mi seriously going to do this. But I cant let him die over something as stupid as sex. At least he wont remember it. That would be really embarrassing! Ill just do this and get it over with. Natsu opened the door to Grays room and motioned for Mira to come outside.

"How is he doing?"

"Not good," she replied. "His fever is over one hundred and four. I'm scared Natsu. What did Porlyusica say was wrong with him?" she asked, the worry clear on her face.

"Something that he has to go somewhere else to get cured. She said it was a curse but didn't go into great detail. I'm going to journey with her to get help for him, but we will be back in a few weeks OK?"

Mira shook her head, helping Natsu get the larger boy into his arms, and opening the doors for him to exit.

Natsu carried Gray to his house, taking care to go down back roads so he wouldn't be seen. I guess ill just put him in my bed. Hes so hot though, maybe I should strip him first. Porlyusica should be here any minute with those herbs and then ill be able to get him in a bath. Hopefully it will cool him down some. Natsu carefully laid Gray down on the bed and began to undress him. Wow, I never noticed how toned he was. He actually looks really nice covered in a thin sheet of sweat. Thought Natsu as he pulled first his shirt and then his shorts off.

Hearing a knock at the door Natsu opened it to find the healer with an arm full of herbs and a sheet with written instructions on it. He took the bundle and walked back to the bedroom, laying everything out on the floor he read the instructions then began measuring out the herbs. After running a cool bath, he added the necessary ingredients and went to get Gray, pulling his clothes off in the room he carried the dark haired boy into the bathroom and gently lowered the two of them into the water. Natsu took care, making sure he scrubbed every inch of Grays body clean. The longer he was in the water the cooler he felt, and Natsu started to get a weird feeling as he watched the herbs pool around their bodies. He lazily ran his fingers through the raven locks, with Gray between his legs.

Natsu put his arms around the boy in front of him, getting aroused at the feel of the still fevered skin against his own. He couldn't help but notice the way the water ran off his slim body as he pulled the boy from the water and dried him off with a fluffy towel. Laying him back in the bed he wen and finished reading the directions while the water drained from the tub. OK so I did the bath, now what...oh. Yeah. Now I have to screw him... he thought with a cringe as he read through the notes again. Oh, well that explains why I have a raging hard on, he thought reading that the herbs were for arousal as well as healing, and preparation. He looked again at the boy on the bed. At least his temperature is down he thought reading the thermometer as he withdrew it from Grays mouth.

"Nnnn...wa...wat...so thir..." mumbled Gray as he tried to open his eyes.

"Hang on Gray, ill get you all better" whispered Natsu, going to get a cup of water for him to drink. He held the cup to the other boys lips, tilting his head so some slid into his mouth and down his throat. Natsu set the glass to the side as he began to think about the task in front of him. He still wasn't sure how he felt about doing this, but he couldn't let anything happen to Gray. After all, who would he fight with then? Natsu laid beside the raven haired boy, stoking his cheek as he got even more aroused. I only hope he really doesn't remember any of this he thought, reaching for the tiny bottle the healer had given him. He lubed his fingers up, and slowly stroked his member with one hand, and fondled Gray with the other. Even unconscious the other boy was clearly aroused.

Natsu reached between Grays legs, grabbing his member and stroking it in time with his own. He is huge, thought Natsu, as Gray reached full arousal and seemed to grow in both length and thickness. Natsu reached a little further down and slid a small digit inside. Gray moaned at the intrusion to his body, his hips bucking against the finger until he could easily take it. Slowly Natsu added a second and then third digit, stretching Gray so that it wouldn't hurt him too much. He positioned himself at the tight entrance, then slid inside inch by inch.

Its so damn tight! How am I supposed to do this? I feel like my dick is going to fall off! He thought as he slowly pulled back out a little. Gray moaned deep in his throat as his body accommodated the member now inside him. Natsu bowed his head, loving the feeling when the other boy relaxed around him and he was able to move more freely. Reaching down he grabbed the impressive member in front of him, jacking it in time to his thrusts while he used his other hand for balance. He realized shortly that Gray seemed to be waking up, as he felt him tense and push against him.

"Shhhh, its OK Gray. You are sick and I have to help you. This is the only way" whispered Natsu as he paused in his thrusts. Dark eyes opened and looked into his, they were a little confused but still full of lust as Gray stared up at him.

"Don... don't st...stop" whispered Gray, throwing his arms around the pinkette and pulling him deeper inside himself. Natsu lost himself in those dark eyes, leaning down he kissed the ravens lips, enjoying the soft feel against his own mouth. He slammed himself inside the body underneath him, fast and faster, leaning further don to kiss along the other boys jaw and down to the juncture of his neck and shoulders. He came suddenly, spilling himself in the tight hole as a warmth shot across his own stomach. Pulling back he looked down at Gray, relishing the look of pure elation spread across his new lovers face. Somehow this just feels right, he thought, rolling over while still inside the other boy. Grays skin was no longer fevered and Natsu traced circles on his chest as Gray once again fell asleep. Natsu withdrew himself fully, and pulling the blanket up around their naked bodies, fell into a deep slumber.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The next morning Gray woke with a start. He could feel someone wrapped around him, their legs angled and an arm across his chest. Opening his eyes he was shocked to find a head of pink hair on the pillow next to him. Jumping out of bed he pulled a sheet to him, noticing the dried fluid on his own body as well as the sheet. Oh my god. What in the hell happened? He thought in a panic. Natsu, hearing him frantically search for his clothes, groggily opened his eyes and watched as Gray freaked out.

"Calm down"

"What the hell do you mean calm down fire breath?! What the fuck did you do to me? And why in the hell am I more naked than usual?!" exclaimed Gray finally finding and pulling on his shorts, completely forgetting his boxers. Natsu sat up in bed and stretched lazily stopping Gray in his tracks. Damn he looks nice...thought Gray, admiring the way his muscles stretched in the early morning sun. Gray had liked Natsu for a long time, but he could never tell him. Every time they battled he relished the small touches he could steal. Now though, he just wanted to know what in the hell was going on.

"You are cursed Gray, and there is only one way to fix it... I …..um...have to...well I basically have to fuck it out of you..." Natsu said quietly. Gray began to blush furiously, and then he suddenly got dizzy. Falling to the floor he felt strong arms wrap around him before he hit the ground. Natsu carried him back to the bed.

"Stay in bed ice block, otherwise you will hurt yourself" Natsu admonished. " I'm sorry about this, but its the way it has to be. Porlyusica left you a note explaining everything" he said, pulling said note out from an envelope beside the bed he handed it to Gray and went to get some clothes. Gray read through the letter while Natsu got dressed and made breakfast. I'm stuck here for at least two whole weeks thought Gray folding the paper back up and putting it in his pocket. Natsu sat beside him on the bed and handed him a thermometer, "Check your temperature please" he said before handing him a drink. Gray did as asked and was shocked to find it still hovering near one hundred, hat explained why he felt so bad, but it really sucked. Gray had another bout of dizziness and Natsu demanded he sit drink the water while he drew him a bath.

Wow, he is taking this a lot better than I ever thought he would thought Natsu, checking to make sure the bath was cool enough. I have to keep his temperature down though or this will just last even longer. He walked back into the room and gathered the herbs for the water, motioning for Gray to follow after him.

"Um... I cant stand," said Gray, leaning heavily on the poster at the end of Natsus bed. Turning around, the pink haired boy picked him up bridal style and took him to the bath.

"Do you think you can at least handle bathing yourself this time ice block?" he teased when he set him down into the water.

"Yeah, I think I can handle that flame brain." replied Gray, clearly not liking being helpless. Natsu turned and left the room, going down to do dishes while Gray took his bath so he could have some privacy. Opening the freezer he looked for something to take out for dinner, he pulled out some fish and

placed it in the fridge to thaw.

Natsu heard a crash and raced upstairs, fearing the worst as he approached the bathroom. He opened the door to see liquid soap all over his now shattered mirror, and Gray literally submerged in a block of ice. "Holy shit!" he exclaimed, running to the tub and using a small amount of fire to reheat the water. Pulling Gray up from under the once again liquid in the tub, he asked "what happened? Whats wrong?"

Gray looked up with venom in his eyes, "I can barely lift my arms. I'm so fucking useless" he replied, tear evident in his eyes. Sighing Natsu began to undress.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm getting in the tub to help you bathe. Obviously. Scoot up so I can fit" Gray begrudgingly scooted forward, allowing the pink haired teen behind him. Natsu grabbed a scrubby and lathered it up with soap, pulling Gray against him, he started with his arms. Gray slowly relaxed, leaning fully against Natsu as the other boy scrubbed his arms. Moving to his chest Natsu washed in small circles, helping Gray lift out of the water so he could reach further and further down. Gray began to moan and wiggle, the closer Natsu got to his nether regions, the more excited he got. Natsu took his time, thoroughly washing every part of Gray, except the part he desperately wanted to touch. Skirting around the raven haired boys dick, he took care to finish cleaning him, then moved to leave the tub.

"Natsu, what is happening to me?" Gray asked, concern clear in his eyes as he looked back at Natsu and flushed.

"Simple, the curse makes it to where the first person to touch you after you collapsed has to basically fuck you. Repeatedly. Until all signs of the fever and sickness are gone. That just so happened to be me. The herbs floating around in the bath will make you aroused, hence why you have a boner. They will also relax you, to make the...uh...penetration...uh...easier." Natsu replied, stopping his motions to leave the water.

"Do you know who did this to me?"

"No, mi sorry. As soon as I find out I plan on giving him one hell of a beating though. And don't worry, things will go back to normal once you get better." Natsu replied laughing.

Gray could feel the rumble of the laugh all the way through his back where it touched Natsus chest, and it made him shiver. He needed this. He was actually kind of glad Natsu had been the one to find him. He would never have had the nerve to act on his feelings otherwise. This might just be what he needed to show his feelings to the pinkette. He would wait and see how things played out first though. Suddenly Gray turned in the water, sloshing some over the sides of the tub, until he was straddling the others legs. He leaned his head down, throwing his arms around Natsus neck, and hesitantly kissed him.

"Natsu, I need you. I need this. Now" he said, rubbing his member against Natsus slowly. Natsus eyes were alight with passion. Damn, these herbs are really doing their job. I might have to keep some of these even after he gets better. Thought Natsu, reaching between them to grasp Grays throbbing piece in a tight grip.

"Your wish, my command" he said, pumping the dark haired boy to full hardness. Natsus hand was soft yet firm, with a grip like steel. He expertly stroked until just before he would have exploded. Gray had his head thrown back, hands braced on the side of the tub as Natsu stroked him. He could feel the sensation building low in his belly. He knew he was close and he moaned loudly when Natsu stopped stroking him.

"Why did you stop flame breath? I'm so close. Please..."

"Sorry, I don't want to make a mess in the tub and have to refill it." Natsu said laughing. He picked Gray up and carrying him to the bed. He laid him down and, leaning over him, kissed him deeply, his tongue darting in to taste the other teen. Growling deep in his throat, Natsu again grabbed Gray and started stroking. He moved down the others body, stopping to tweak his nipples and lap lazy circles around his belly button. Finally he reached his prize, staring in amazement at the member in front of him.

Gray watched with lidded eyes as Natsu knelt between his thighs. Slowly, Natsu stuck his tongue out. He licked the small bead of pre cum on Grays head, savoring the slightly salty taste. Gray threw his head back, pulling on the sheets as Natsu swallowed the first few inches of his member. Groaning he bucked his hips, sending himself deeper in to the pinkettes throat. Natsu began bobbing his head, taking as much as he could of the dick in his mouth, while still stroking the lower part of the shaft with his hand. He looked up to see Gray with his eyes rolled back, enjoying the feel of his mouth around him.

"Natsu! Oh my god, mi so close. Ple..please...don't stop...for gods sake Natsu don stop!"

Natsu gave one final hard suck, just at the tip, and swallowed greedily as the other came in his mouth. Grays world turned into a kaleidoscope of color as he exploded. Feeling exhausted after wards, he watched as Natsu carefully crawled back up his body.

"My turn" he whispered, reaching between them yet again to put an already slicked finger at Grays entrance. As soon as it was inserted Gray felt himself starting to get hard again. He thrust his hips further onto the digit, which was soon followed by a second, and then a third. Natsu positioned himself, plunging in deep as Gray moaned his name loudly, wrapping his arms around Natsu. Gray pulled him down for a fevered kiss, raising his hips to meet the hurried thrusts. Their pace matched, Natsu came quickly. Feeling himself getting filled up, Gray immediately came again.

Natsu collapsed on top of Gray, rolling to his side shortly after and pulling himself from the other. Gray scooted closer, laying his head on Natsus chest.

"That was amazing." said Gray as Natsu stroked his hair. Both boys soon fell asleep, content in each others arms as the day drew to evening.

OK, originally this was just going to be a one shot, but I feel like I should make it a little longer now. I know there are a lot of unanswered questions, but don't worry, everything will be clear soon enough. The curse will also be explained a little better later on. I hope you enjoyed reading this!

Please R&R, after all I need to know what my readers like and don't like!
