Lovers with Benefits

Chapter Fourteen - Cuddles

Detention sucks, Natsu thought as he walked home tiredly. He missed his bus he usually took to get home.

Surprisingly, Natsu wasn't so embarrassed about what happened than he thought he would be.
Gray comforted him when he tried to get this unpleasant memory out of his head. The pinkette didn't want to admit it, but he appreciated what Gray did.
Natsu felt a bit depressed during detention. He usually was a cheerful person, but even the happiest person can feel sadness.

Why did this have to happen to me? This isn't fair... Urgh.

Natsu internally wanted to be held, he really needed a hug. Even if it'd be Gray. Anyone. Just a hug.

Natsu instinctively unlocked his phone and went to his text messages. He was searching for Loki's chat.
Natsu hesitated for a moment, but then texted the ginger man:

"can i come over?"

Natsu waited for a few minutes and wandered around the downtown as he listened to music with his headphones.
Then his phone made a quick sound which meant that Loki replied.

"i hope u think what im thinking"

"duh", Natsu answered and turned his hells to walk in the other man's apartment's direction.

"Hey", Natsu greeted the ginger male who opened the door.
"You have your school stuff with you?", Loki asked confusion and closed the door again when Natsu entered his place.

"Uh, yea. I had detention", Natsu smiled and put his hand on the back of his head.
"Geez, what'd you do?", Loki laughed and already undressed himself.

"I beat up a classmate", Natsu said in a monotone voice because he didn't really care what others thought about it now. He was just glad that Gray forgave him for that.

"Ohhh", Loki whispered in a low voice, "it seems like someone's been a naughty boy", he teased and cupped Natsu's face in his hands.

Natsu, as tired as he was, let himself get dominated faster than usually. He closed his eyes and felt Loki's tongue in his mouth, then on this neck.
He felt himself get undressed, he felt hands on his chest.
Natsu was in desperate need for physical touch, for warmth.

"Let's go to my bed", the ginger man dictated and dragged the pinkette along.
Natsu removed the last remaining clothes from his body, now laying naked and semi-hard on the soft undone bed.

"I think the naughty boy needs some punishment", Loki grinned maliciously as he leaned over Natsu's body and trapped his head between his arms.
They made out while Natsu grinded his hips against Loki's, making both of them even harder.
They both were so horny, incredibly horny.
"I can't wait", Natsu moaned between kisses. He was so needy for dick.

"Me... neither"

After sex Natsu was sleepily laying in bed while Loki was taking a shower.
Even though the pinkette had zero romantic interest in the ginger, he wanted some cuddles.
He felt vulnerable asking for it, but that was actually the reason why he hooked up with Loki in the first place.
Natsu tried not to fall asleep. He had school tomorrow and needed to go home beforehand.

Loki went out of the bathroom into his bedroom again with a towel wrapped around his hips.
"Tired?", he asked.

Natsu hummed. "Come cuddle."

"That's kinda gay", Loki stated.

Natsu raised an eyebrow: "You literally just had sex with me."

The other man let out an annoyed 'urgh' and crawled into bed next to Natsu.
The pinkette shoved himself closer and hugged him from the side while his head was laying on Loki's chest.
He closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmth and closeness of another human being.

"You've never been interested in cuddling", Loki spoke softly as he put his hand on the back of Natsu's head, running his fingers through his soft, pink hair.

"I just need it today. That's why I texted you in the first place", he confessed and suggled more against the other man.
"As much as a whore you are, you don't need to fuck me if you just want to cuddle", Loki said and felt a bit guilty, he felt like he just used Natsu - even though it was the pinkettes suggestion to come over.

"No, no", Natsu chuckled, "I wanted it. Cuddling is just a bonus."

"Hm, okay", Loki grew tired slowly as well, "is it really true that you beat up that new student?"
Natsu frowned and was annoyed by that question. Natsu and Gray already talked about it and decided to forgive and forget.

"His name is Gray. And he's a prick", Natsu gossipped and turnt around so he could be the little spoon.

"Whaaat?", Loki marveled, "don't you think he's hot?"

Natsu found Gray extremely hot. He was tall and athletic. He had a pretty face, a sharp jaw line and dominant dark blue eyes. He was simply Natsu's type. Probably even the best looking person Natsu knew.

"Gray is hot. And I hate to admit it because I can't stand him", Natsu spit big tones.

"Not liking him doesn't stop you from seducing him", Loki laughed half joking, half seriously.

"The difference between us is that I don't treat people like trophies", Natsu fired.

Loki was a good source for quick, meaningless hooking up. But he could never imagine himself as his partner. Even though Natsu wasn't a practitioner of chastity and waiting until marriage, he still was trying to be a morally good person. He thought that people had value and that it was disrespectful to treat others like objects or trophies.
Even though Natsu was too dumb to put it in words like these.

Loki was kind-of offended. The womanizer did take advantage of people, especially when they're drunk. Natsu hit bullseye with his statement, that's why the ginger haired man let loose of Natsu's waist and said:

"Okay. Enough cuddling. See ya whenever."

Natsu internally agreed. He should just go to sleep so he wasn't late to school tomorrow.
