A Shoulder to cry on ✔️ (Natsu x Gray x Reader)

What's next

"Y/N?"

"Yeah?"

"You sleepy?"

"Honestly no."

"Why not?"

"Thinking about my parents. Wondering if they are alive and what will happen if they aren't."

"Will you have somewhere to go?"

"Yeah I can stay here. The house is paid off and the bills are on auto pay on my dads bank account and my mom left her bank card for me. Both have insane amounts of money so I'm good. I'm just scared of the future. I know I have you but if they are gone who's going to walk me down the aisle? Who's going to be there for me when I need advice? There's so much to worry about."

"I understand. There's a lot to worry about but at least you won't be broke and homeless. Don't worry Y/N I'll be there with you through all of it." Natsu says and kisses me gently and holds me close.

"Natsu. Your so comforting. I don't know how you do it but you always make me feel so much better. Like. No matter what  everything will be ok. Thank you!" I tell him and start crying tears of relief. He holds me closer and I relax.

"Natsu."

"Hmm?"

"Help me sleep. I want to sleep but I can't. My brain won't shut off." I groan.

"How do I help you sleep?"

"I don't know. Cuddle me. Talk to me. Caress me. I don't know. Try anything!" I whisper yell with frustration.

Natsu chuckles and starts caressing me. His soft warm touch helps me relax. It's not sexual, it's loving and caring. He holds me close and nuzzles me while still running his hand up and down my body. Before I knew it I was asleep.

I wake up to my phone ringing. It's a unknown number again.

"Natsu. Wake up."

"Huh?"

"Listen."

I answer the phone. "Hello?"

"Hello this is Y/N right?"

"Yes and I presume this is Mr. Jacobs?"

"That is correct. Y/N I have good news and bad news. The good news is we found your parents. The bad news is they were discovered deceased on a island. It looks like they were attacked by some kind of animal. We have arranged their bodies to be brought back home to be buried. I also need to come by to read their will to you. May I come by tomorrow morning?"

"Yes sir." I sob "thank you for calling. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye."

I hang up the phone and let loose. My worst fear is a reality. My parents are gone. I feel Natsu wrap his arms around me.

"Go ahead and let it out." He says but his voice is shaky. I look and see he's crying to. I guess he can feel my pain. We sit there in the bed and cry for a long time. I didn't expect him to cry with me but in a way I'm glad he did. It makes me feel like we are connected more than I thought.

I ended up crying myself to sleep. I woke up to Natsu sitting up on the bed. He's not doing anything but sitting there.

"Natsu. You ok?"

"Yeah. I just didn't want to leave you. I know you need me beside you now more than ever."

"Natsu. Thank you. Your such a sweetheart." I smile at him and he smiles back. "Come on. I know your hungry. Let's go eat."

"Actually I was thinking maybe we can go get something to eat? Is that ok?" Natsu asks

"Sure. Let's get dressed and go before it gets to late."
I get out of bed and start changing. Natsu looks at me wide eyed. "What?" I ask

"You. Your changing in front of me." He says in surprise

"Well considering what we did yesterday I feel a little more comfortable around you." I giggle and he blushes remembering our little encounter.

I change and so does he and we leave the house and head to a fast food restaurant. We got a bunch of dollar menu stuff since we were super hungry. The cashier thought we were nuts buying so much food but didn't question it. We sat in the corner and talked and ate and laughed at all the stares we were getting.

I'm happy I have Natsu. He makes me feel complete. Even though I just found out about my parents deaths I feel like I can overcome this as long as he is by my side.

After we finish eating all our food we head back home. We were considering a walk but it started to get cold and it started to rain.

We get home and I'm shaking like a leaf. It got really cold really quick and the rain came out of nowhere.

"Bbbrrrrrrr. It's cold" I say with chattering teeth.

"It's not to bad" Natsu says

"Easy for you to say! Your hot blooded!" I yell and point at Natsu who is practically steaming. "I'm going to take a hot shower." I head to the bathroom without a second thought. I turn on the shower to hot and jump in.

I'm washing my body when it suddenly dawns on me that I didn't bring a towel or my robe with me and I don't keep any in here. I bang my head on the wall.

"Natsu?!" I call and I hear him open the door

"Y-yeah?" He peaks his head in.

"Did you just stutter?"

"No. What's up?" He says confidently

"I forgot my towel and robe. Can you bring them to me please?"

"Sure." He closes the door back and I go back to washing myself. I hear the door open and close. I ignore everything until I hear the curtain open.

"Natsu! What are you?" I stop and blush bright red. He's naked in front of me and smiling like a idiot.

"What? I want to shower to. We conserve water like this." He says with a grin.

"Uhhh. Ok. Sure. Whatever." I stutter and close my eyes. I try my best to ignore him and finish any shower.

"I'll wash your back if you wash mine." Natsu says hotly in my ear.

"Sure." I reply and hand him my washcloth. He takes it and washes my back. He also trails down to my butt and I quickly turn around. "Your turn." I say nervously and he turns around with a smile. "Uh Natsu. Did you grab a washcloth?

"No. I forgot.....just use your hands. It's only my back." He says and I know he's smiling.

"Natsu I swear you planned this." I say flatly and squeeze soap into my hands. I rub his back with my hands and notice how toned he is. I can feel his muscles and I'm honestly enjoying this but I won't admit it out loud. I continue to wash him and find my hands running along his body just following his muscles to his stomach and chest. He hasn't stopped me so I know he wants this. I stop myself and turn to rinse off.

"I'm getting out now." I say and rinse myself off and quickly get out. I see Natsu look disappointed. I'm still in the bathroom drying myself off and putting my robe on when he steps out of the shower. I now see him from a distance and I marvel at his body. It's hard to believe it's all mine. I smirk and wink at him and open the bathroom door and leave to my room. I hear him follow a minute later.

I know what you want Natsu. I won't fight it cause I want it to. Just not in the shower.

I stand in front of my mirror and dry my hair. I see Natsu appear behind me. With a grin on his face.
