A/N: This is written for Flame Belt because not only is she the best, the best ever, she suggested to see these two boys go furniture shopping. Bed shopping to be specific. -wink wink- :)
This is just kicks for me but I'm glad people like this. XD
The Perfect Couple: Furniture Edition
"Sir you can't nap there. Those are our displays." the sales man told the customer who was currently doing the deed.
"Shoul't have 'em here then..." came the mumbled reply.
The sales man rolled his eyes. "They're our displays. They need to be there."
The customer groggily got up and carded his slender fingers through his wild strawberry spikes. "I was trying it out, that's why they're here right?"
The sales man narrowed his eyes at the young man. "Yes, but you fell asleep. There's a different in what you were trying to do." He stared at the pink haired fellow, vice versa.
Then, from the pinkette, "You yap a lot old man."
The sales man sputtered, face growing red. How dare that strawberry patched kid! Trying to calm down so as not to lose his job over someone so childish, the man closed his eyes, counted to ten, reopened his eyes and forced a tight smile over his lips.
He tipped backwards and fell when he found the pinkette sound asleep on the bed.
...
"I lost Natsu." Gray mumbled as he aimlessly roamed the aisles of the different beds. Single beds, king and queen beds. Plush and colored uniquely. Variety of pillows. Gray felt every single bed he felt. The quilt. The pillow. The mattress. It had to be perfect. He and his boyfriend planned on moving in together and out of the two, Gray was the one more into furniture.
That was how he and Natsu got separated. Gray had been conversing deeply with one of the sales man giving him details on what he was looking for in a bed when Natsu suddenly disappeared. Before Gray had gotten too serious with the sales man, he had kept glancing at Natsu who looked absolutely bored with his body slumped backwards, arms crossed behind his head and his over exaggerating walk (really, no one lifts their leg that high up in the air) and puffing out impatient sounding breaths.
Once he got serious with the sales man, Gray decided that Natsu would live and ignored him as they walked through the endless rows of beds. Gray sampled them, asked Natsu for his opinion ("Just like any other bed."), and continued on with the sales man. It wasn't until ten minutes passed that Gray realized his boyfriend had vanished.
After thanking and parting with the helpful sales man, Gray went looking for his pinkette.
Which proved to be very difficult.
The furniture mart they were at was ginormous. It had the space to fit all of the guilds including the independet ones and some. Hell, to Gray it still would have room for a couple of houses. Three stories. The place had every kind, type, color, brand, etc. of furniture, appliances included. When the couple had walked inside, Gray died and went to heaven.
Natsu didn't see what the big deal was, it all just stuff to him. Gray felt like a kid in a candy story. A gambler who won the whole loot. He was excited to say the least. Furniture shopping had always been a favorite of his.
Natsu made it clear that it wasn't his.
Speaking of Natsu.
Gray rounded a corner and stopped short upon spotting Natsu hugging the frame of a qeen bed for dear life while an angry looking sales man was trying to tug him off it.
"Let go!" the man was demanding.
"No!" Natsu was disobeying. Gray sighed.
"Really? Can I not leave you alone, ever?" the black haired male grumbled to himself as he walked toward the quite hilarious scene. Natsu was in the air sideways his lower body caught by the sales man. His black shirt was askew as was his hair... as was the bed.
Gray sighed. Typical Natsu.
...
"Can I live?" Natsu was saying when he spotted Gray from the corner of his eye. "Gray!" the sales man suddenly found himself sprawled on the floor. Natsu had let go unexpectedly and scrambled over to his boyfriend.
"What are you doing?" said boyfriend asked with a brow quirked.
"Doing what we came to do but SOMEbody harassed me." Natsu said this while glancing backwards to give the now standing sales man an accusing glare.
"Sir, you can TEST our beds, yes, but you canNOT take a NAP on them." the sales men threw back.
"It was a nice bed, can you blame me?" the pinkette asked innocently. Gray gave the bed a look over. The frame was simple and all a sleek black color. The mattress was thick and looked plush even from being covered up by a patterned quilt. Four large white pillows covered the top of the bed two on each side and layering one another. And even though Natsu had been laying on it, Gray couldn't see a single crease to prove that there had been a body on it.
The black haired male walked to the bed and felt around it. It was very cushioning. Plush to perfection and roomy. Gray sat on it. He didn't sink nor did he feel like he just rested his ass on a rocky platform. Natsu came over and sat next to him. "Mmm." Gray uttered and spread his fingers over the quilt.
"Nice right?" Natsu bounced a little on it though Gray didn't move with the action.
"Seriously." Gray agreed. He flopped backwards and let out a sigh full of content. "This is heaven." a body fell next to him before curling in close. Natsu's scent flooded around in Gray's bubble, filling the air with burning firewood and ashes.
Natsu yelped when he found himself suddenly on his back and Gray on top of him, Gray's face pressed into his neck. "Gray?" Natsu asked eyes wide. He heard his boyfriend inhale deep before feeling something wet along the side of his neck. He shivered. "Wh-what the hell you moron!"
"This bed would be great for sex." Gray spoke this in the pinkette's ear. Unfortunately for the sales man, his ears also caught the words.
Natsu's mouth fell open. "You're right!" the slighter male gasped while wiggling on his back. "It's a perfect bed for sex."
The sales man closed his eyes. "Are they for real here..." taking in their... compromising positions, he cleared his throat. "Gentlemen. Please don't... this.. public. Children do come in here with their parents frequently."
The couple weren't listening. Gray had sat up with his legs spread with Natsu in between them, his own legs draped over each of Gray's thigh. Natsu was nestled against Gray's chest with his arms around his neck while Gray held him close. "How'd you get here anyway?" Gray was asking the pinkette.
"I lost you guys, ha ha. You were boring me so I stopped following and went off on my own. My feet were killing me so I found a bed to rest on. Accidentally fell asleep. Oops." Natsu let his arms fall away from Gray's neck and let them slide down Gray's chest.
Gray caught his wandering hands and stilled them. "It was a stroke of luck because this is the exact bed I had in mind."
"I'm glad even though it doesn't matter to me. As long as it's comfy. After all," Natsu rolled up and sat completely on his boyfriend who welcomed him. Grinning slyly he finished, "It's important we have a great bed for great sex."
Gray's grin matched Natsu's. "My thoughts exactly."
The sales man groaned. "Are you going to buy this bed or not? You're drawing attention." True enough, people who passed the area stared warily at the pair on the display bed.
Unfazed, Gray nudged Natsu off so he could get off the bed. Natsu was up after him and he drew the pinkette to his side. "Yeah, we want it."
"Wonderful." the sales man said dryly. "Follow me, we'll get the paperwork out the way."
"You know, we should look at fridges next." Natsu suggested, happily hand in hand with Gray. "And then go buy lots and lots of food to fill it up. I don't want our fridge to ever be empty."
Gray laughed while the sales man, several paces away, silently prayed for the next victim of the couple.
