I woke up to someone poking and prodding my nose and cheek.

"Natsu... stop. I'll kill you." I mumbled, trying to go back to sleep.

"I'm not doing anything... shut up." He groaned sleepily and stretched beside me, the opposite side of where I was being poked.

My eyes widened suddenly and I sat up to see Gray there.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I spat, and Natsu sat up beside me, looking at Gray.

"I need to talk to you, Baz." He shrugged.

"This couldn't have waited? I was sleeping." I groaned and lied back down, curling up under the blankets again.

"It's nearly noon." Gray said and Natsu and I just looked at each other and shrugged.

"Time is a concept of human perception. It's an illusion, and therefore, meaningless." I hummed.

Gray just sighed and picked me up, throwing me over his shoulder and walking out.

"Gray! The fuck? Stop it! Natsu, help me!" I called, only for Natsu to just follow us out.

"On any other day, Baz, I would help you, but I wanna see where this goes." Natsu said, following with his hands in his pockets.

"Natsu, you don't wanna know. Go to the guild." Gray said and my head shot up and my eyes widened and Natsu.

"Help me." I mouthed and he didn't understand. "Natsu, fucking help me! I'm serious!" I hissed, and Gray just sped off, leaving Natsu in the dust.

We soon arrived at a house that was just plain and wooden, but with a hay rooftop. I wanted to ask Gray if this is where he lived, but I was still too pissed to even talk to him.

He opened the door and got us through, then sat me down on the couch and stood in front of me.

"Why am I here, Gray?" I sighed, glaring at him.

"Because we need to talk." He said.

"Well, too bad I don't wanna." I huffed and he groaned.

"Why not?" He asked and I stood.

"Oh, maybe because we kissed and admitted we liked each other, and then you became an absolute dick who acted like nothing ever happened between us. You asked to be mine, and I agreed. Now, I dont think I'm the only person who thinks this, but you don't fucking act like that to someone you care about." I snapped.

"I'm sorry, it just drives me crazy not knowing where you came from! You told me what your dad did, and that's it. And whenever someone brings up where you were before this, you and Natsu get real quiet real quick. So I'm guessing he knows and you've sworn him to secrecy?" Gray asked.

"I didn't have to because he's a good friend who knows how and when to keep his mouth shut!" I snapped at Gray again. "Besides, I don't think it's any of your business, anyway." I huffed, turning away.

Gray simply grabbed my arms, turning me back to him, and roughly kissing me. I stood there, letting it happen, but not doing anything to kiss back or push him off.

"Baz, I really like you. You know this. Nothing's changed of my feelings since we went on that job. I just want to know you better, and I want you to know you can trust me with anything." He said, and stunned, I sat back down on the couch.

"You mean it?" I asked, and he sat beside me, taking my hands and kissing them.

"Of course I do." He murmured.

"It's just... I've always been afraid to tell people, because I'm scared of what they'll think..." I tried not to cry. I've been crying a shit ton lately.

"I promise I'll still be here." He kissed my hand again. "I heard you tell Natsu that people don't see people like you as actual people. What do you mean?"

I took a deep breath. "Before this, when Natsu found me, I was... a part time prostitute." I admitted, and it was silent.

"Why?" He asked.

"I didn't have a place to stay. I was homeless with just a bag of clothes and the tips I make nightly from singing at bars. At the end of the night, I'd usually find someone, offer them sex for a place to sleep for the night, and as they slept, I'd rob them, then disappear before morning." I sighed.

"When Natsu found me, I was searching out who I was going to sleep with for a place to stay, and he was an option. He refused me, but said he wanted to help me, instead. Then he brought me to Fairy Tail, and he's been the bestest friend anyone could ask for." I smiled and wiped a little under my eye.

Gray was silent, and I looked over at him. "Do you hate me? Are you... disgusted with me?" I asked softly, and he hugged me.

"No, I could never be. In all honesty, I brought you over to prove how much I wanted you with my dick, but now I see that's not a very good idea." He admitted, and we laughed.

"Thank you, Gray." I sighed, and leaned my head on his shoulder.

"For what?" He asked, looking down at me.

"For staying." I sighed and kissed him.
