Mated. (Lyon x Gray) OMEGAVERSE

Part 1.

!! A few things to note before you read : if you don't like the ship, don't read. This is lyon x gray. !!

There will be mature themes next, or in future chapters. None in this one, but it is very vaguely referenced.

This is written with omega verse in mind, if you're not familiar with it, please do a quick google search on the dynamics. Gray is the omega and Lyon is the alpha.

And last but least, the characters will be slightly or maybe even completely off canon portrayal. I will try to write them to my best ability, but truthfully this story was written for some friends of mine, so if you don't like it then don't read .

This will be a pretty short story, so there probably won't be more than three chapters.

It came as an utter shock to nearly everyone when a fifteen year old Gray Fullbuster had presented as an omega. Unexpected of the stubborn, muscular young male, but not a single person had let it change how they viewed him. Though it didn't bother him as much, he wasn't very open about his second gender— at the time choosing to simply ignore and suppress it as much as possible. It didn't matter anyway. Gray thought, as long as he appeared and displayed himself like an alpha, no one would underestimate him. No one would dare to be friend him with the wrong intention. The ice mage didn't mind disclosing such information with his close friends, feeling as if they had to know in case anything ever happened.

Now, at a mere nineteen years old, he came to truly regret having presented as an omega. He wasn't caught up in the silly idea of needing an alpha mate to take care of him, but once the very first heat came around.. he began to slowly accept it. No amount of pain killers or toys could even come close to easing the pain caused by an omega  desperately needing attention from an alpha. And maybe this wouldn't have been so bad, except not a single alpha in the fairy tail guild had even struck a nerve of interest within the dark haired male. They didn't see him for much past his second gender. As much as he wanted a mate, he wasn't going to settle for just anyone and definitely would not be swayed by good looks and money.

Then, there was Lyon Vastia. That boy in particular... he did not get along with. The first time they met on a mission, both aged seventeen, the other had spoken to him bluntly. In which, gray did not realize that it was just a part of the man's personality. Tensions were caused, but apart from the mission, Gray never saw him again. Not that he was interested in meeting again, but for some reason, the strands of light blue hair always lingered in the back of his mind. Maybe it had been because Lyon was one of the first alpha's around his age to not express any interest, even in a 'one night stand.'

— present day—

Hands in his pockets, a neutral expression plastered on his face as he walked down the gravel alongside a blue haired woman ; Juvia. Though she was rather different, the female omega had quickly became a dear friend of his. With opposing personalities, it did little to come in between their inseparable bond. The two were protective over each other, wouldn't hesitate even for a split second to go after anyone who caused the other harm.

"Juvia thinks.." The woman spoke, looking up at the taller of the two. "You should ask him to be your mate."

A dark red tinted his cheeks along with his teeth clenching , a small 'tch' sound in annoyance. "I don't like him, like that. I just said .. think he's.." his words trailed off, not knowing what to say. He shrugged. "You know.." Admitting his feelings in public didn't feel safe like when he had confessed to Juvia in privacy. It was rare for gray to even act this way. She knew, obviously. About what?

Well, after his rough encounter with the man who seemed cold hearted , Gray did actually see him again, and soon. And then again after that, and so on. The two ice mages soon came to neutral terms, reasoning that if they had to work together, then it should at least be this way. And then, they actually became friends. A stubborn teenager, and a teenager who seemed to be pre occupied with himself. He wouldn't admit it, but Lyon had always interested Gray. It was the rare occasions where the man would smile that had the omega had been taken back. When Gray really started to paid attention to every word and gesture coming from him, it was obvious to him that there was a caring and calm persona to the man, the good looks were an added bonus. Not once on any other encounters did the blue haired man make an attempt on gray. It upset him. Only a little bit. He wouldn't dare think about the possibility that the man was already bonded with an omega. He would not accept that. Gray never once dropped a single hint about his interest, but he might start doing it to 'speed things up.'

A small laugh pushed past his lips, followed by a shake of the head. Such thoughts were what he absolutely hated about being an omega. Unrequited love was stupid. It was silly to fantasize about a man that obviously didn't return the feelings.

Lyon would occasionally tag along with him the duo. Whether it would be to say hi, or just be nosy. He seemed comfortable with the two. In which, Juvia would tell him she couldn't see any signs at all.. not even towards herself, another omega. Both of them grew extremely curious as to what the man's taste was, but they didn't entertain it too long ; Figuring that it was just the way Lyon was.

"I invited him over tonight. At your house. Maybe you can try wooing him this time." The rain woman spoke, completely disregarding the fact that it was the exact opposite of what gray wanted to do..(not in those circumstances at least.) If you don't woo him, I don't know how else to get you guys together."

The blood that had rushed to his cheeks was back in an instant at hearing those words. He stopped, turning to look at Juvia. "Juvia.. are you serious..? Whose idea was that? Was it that fire breathing idiot!?" His voice was low to not attract unwanted attention, but the frustration was evident. Frustration mixed with confusion.. his friend never teased him like that. She definitely must've picked it up from the pink haired 'idiot.'

The woman simply gave a small smile in return. "I want to see you happy, with your mate."

As if he wasn't already blushing like crazy, the words only made his heart rate increase rapidly. He didn't like to fantasize, but the idea of Lyon being his mate did things to him. They weren't even dating, and yet, the alpha had such an affect on him. Gray was screwed. There was no way he would accept any other alpha if it wasn't the ice mage from lamia scale. The same alpha that provided him a sense of relief when natsu, unknowingly to gray, had 'borrowed' one of lyon's jackets and handed it to him. To say the least, his heat that time around was not as painful with the lingering scent of the Alpha. How pathetic he was, to hold such comfort in an item that wasn't even his. Despite all of the 'dumb ass' insults being thrown towards natsu that day, he was thankful. The jacket was still in his room. He refused to get rid of it.

He brought a hand up to gently rub at a spot on his neck that was missing a bond mark. The concept of mates was strange to gray, but it didn't stop him from wanting one. After all, his dear friend had one. She wouldn't lie to him and tell him it was a wonderful thing if it wasn't.

"Yeah yeah.. let's just finish this job and get our money." Changing the subject seemed good, they had to focus on the task at hand anyway. It was also a perfect way to kill time for the later hours to roll around. Would Lyon even come? What did Juvia invite him over for exactly?
