You're Not Alone (GraTsu)

Thirteen

Lyon gave Gray a bit of a confused look as he watched the raven gently shake the slightly smaller omega. After a few moments Natsu had finally woken up, rubbing at his eyes and stretching his arms out a bit. How adorable... It seemed that Gray had really found a keeper if their feelings for each other were the same. Once Natsu was fully awake, Lyon slowly sat himself on his own bed. He hoped the pink haired male wouldn't freak out too badly with him being in the room, but just to be certain Lyon made sure to stay quiet for the moment.

"Hey..." Gray spoke softly as he looked toward Natsu's tired looking face. It really was a shame that he had to be woken up like this but the raven knew he couldn't keep the other here all night. It was already late enough.

"Gray...? Ugh...what the hell happened...?" Natsu yawned softly and got himself into a bit more of a sitting position. It seemed that he still hadn't realized he had been practically laying on Gray, but it was probably better that way.

"Listen...we fell asleep and it's gotten pretty late. I have to get you home now and I have to hurry back..." Gray continued to speak in a rather gentle tone. It was unusual for him to be acting this way, but it seemed that this Omega had found a soft spot in Gray's heart. It was honestly a relief because Lyon was starting to think that such a thing would never happen for his old friend.

"W-we fell asleep...?" Natsu started sounding slightly nervous. Not only that, but it seemed that he had realized just how close he and Gray currently were, which caused him to sit up completely. His cheeks were a dark shade of red now and it felt like his heart was about to jump right out of his chest. Dammit...they had fallen asleep and so close together. He could smell it now...Gray's scent was all over him but that wasn't all he could smell. Someone else was in the room with them, someone Natsu didn't know and it was causing panic to slowly set in. "W-what time is it...?" His voice had gotten softer now and his dark eyes were definitely looking a bit more scared now.

"Hey, hey it's okay..." Gray lowered his tone even more, keeping his dark blue eyes gently locked with Natsu's wide black ones. Slowly the raven haired male reached out and placed a hand down on Natsu's shoulder, hoping to reassure him that everything would be fine. "It's a little after ten right now. I need to hurry and get you home... Also, there is someone else here but he will not hurt you. I'm really sorry, I wanted us to be gone before he got back but..." Gray honestly felt a bit guilty now. It was because of him that Natsu seemed to be having a bit of a panic attack right about now.

Slowly, Natsu's eyes shifted to the other side of the room where Gray's roommate was quietly sitting, a man with spiky silver hair and black colored eyes. He didn't seem like he would be dangerous...instead he had a similar aura to Gray but that didn't ease Natsu's worry too well. He knew it wasn't Gray's fault though... Neither of them had planned on actually falling asleep like that and now Natsu had something that he had to face before he could go home.

"I can assure you...there's no need to worry." Lyon's voice...it was just as gentle as Gray's had been a few moments ago. He actually sounded rather polite and he was making sure not to make any sudden movements that could possibly startle the Omega even more. "I'm sorry if my presence has startled you and I know this wasn't what Gray had intended but you both needed to be woken up before it got too late." He paused, only to give the pair a bit of a smile. If things worked out between the two of them, they would definitely be an interesting couple. There was no doubt about that. "My name is Lyon Vastia. I'm Gray's oldest friend, or more like an older brother actually."

"Oh would you get over yourself about the older brother thing? You're what, a year older than me?" Gray sounded a bit irritated, but that was definitely toward Lyon and that comment he had made. "You don't need to keep telling people that specific detail, you know..."
