Religion never scared me. My parents, however...
They say the Gods know no mercy- I’m sure Prometheus would agree. A cliff, an eagle, a tearing pain, repeat. All for the sin of what, exactly? Sharing ancient knowledge? This is an old stroy- I’m sure you’ve heard it before.
And what are parents, If not the first Gods we learn to kneel to? Bringing us into this world. Threatening to take us out of it... But, forbidden fruit is the sweetest. Lick your fingers clean and hide the evidence. What they don’t know won’t make them hurt us- Until it does.
It can be anything, really. A sound, a smell, some hairline trigger. Suddenly, you’re 8 again And momma is rooting around in the knife draw. You’re on the stairs, Bracing yourself to step in if you need to, Praying your legs won’t fail you this time.
I’ve been thinking a lot about punishment. A child that fears the hand that feeds them, Will learn to chew flesh from the bone. Because guilt feels like my childhood room And I am still trying to make peace with that. Still trying to love it’s indifferent stare.
A child’s fear lies in my, Deep in my gut where hope meets reality, Gnawing at my “what if’s” and “if only’s” I hold her now, that child, and tell her stories. Because if she is Prometheus, Abandoned on that cliff, Then I am Circe, Feeding him ambrosia, A last act of kindness.
It is a beautiful thing, To be rekindling my innocence, Match by flaming match.

Journey to Non-Stripping

-------
“Storm, please come back and put your coat back on! For Mama!” Juvia pleaded, seeing her son sprint through the guild hall, who had already gone full commando. She loved her son more than anything, but sometimes, all she wanted was for her son to keep his clothes on for more than 10 minutes, at least outside their house.
“Mom, no. It’s so hot out here!” the royal blue-haired boy lamented, a pout forming on his face. “Besides, you and dad also do it all the time. So why shouldn’t I?” the five-year-old questioned the Water Mage, while still naked, much to the chagrin of everyone present.
As soon as the boy’s words left his mouth, Juvia’s mind was struggling to find an answer, not hearing her husband’s footsteps approaching.
“Because, Storm,” Gray argued, “some people do not like to see others like this. I know you’ve seen me and your mother do this quite often, but that doesn’t mean you should do it as well. Please, try and control yourself during this trip. You want to visit the zoo with the others, don’t you?” the Ice Mage asked his son, as he was already tucking his minuscule feet in his boots, while listening to his father’s scolding.
“Yes, dad…” Storm paltered, his signature scowl adorning his face. “I’ll try not to lose my coat this time.” the boy rolled his eyes, as Gray and Juvia nodded approvingly.
“Good. Now let your mom hug you and you’re ready!” Gray replied, and as soon as Juvia was done arranging his white fur collar, she wrapped her arms around her son, crying her heart out.
“Juvia will miss you so much, baby! Don’t forget to drink enough water,and.. don’t go too close to the cages and… please… Stay next to Natsu and Lucy!” she managed to say through her sobs.
“Mom, it’s just a one-day trip to the zoo! I’m not leaving for good.” Storm remarked, while Juvia was squeezing him a bit too hard for his own liking; something he had definitely inherited from his father.
Gray finally untangled his son from his wife’s grasp, and started waving his way, as the boy was racing towards the small group of six children, waving back to his parents. Juvia proceeded to do the same, tears still flooding her eyes.
As the group was exiting the guild hall, Juvia finally took her husband’s arm in hers, not daring to intertwine their fingers; he was still not used to public displays of affection. After the children were out of their sight, Gray and Juvia decided it was time they left home.
---
Soon after they arrived to their seaside penthouse, Gray kicked his boots out of his feet, while Juvia did the same. She still had tears in her eyes, but the sobs had subsided on the way home.
“Juvia, he’s coming back tomorrow; he’s not gone for good. Besides, Lucy is gonna take care of him.” he grimaced as he heard his wife mutter “Love Rival” underneath her breath. She still isn’t over with this, is she? After a deep breath, she finally managed to give him an answer.
“You are right, darling. But Natsu will be there too, won’t he?” she asked Gray in confusion.
“Like I said, Lucy is gonna take care of him. And he’s a big boy. Besides, there would be no way I would let Storm with that pyro head alone!” he snarled, while he shot a glare at a giggling Juvia. At least she was feeling better now.
“This is true. Sometimes, Juvia wonders who is more of a child: Storm or Natsu. So that makes 8 kids for Lucy to take care of today.” she snorted, while hearing Gray laugh out loud.
“No truer words have been spoken. So…We’re alone for a whole day.” Gray implied, not hesitating to make eye contact with Juvia. “Do you have any plans?”
“Eh? What do you mean by that, Gray?” Juvia teased him as she put her hands on his shoulders, already knowing her husband’s answer.
“Well… Here we are. Just the two of us, in this empty house. No kid, no annoying guildmates…” he orated, while undoing the ribbon above her chest.
“Mmm… is that all?” Juvia smirked, all while her hands found the zipper that kept Gray’s jacket closed, and slowly unzipped it.
“Aaaaaaand… It’s been a while since we had some quality time.” Gray winked, earning a violent blush for Juvia. Works every time, he told himself, as he started unbuttoning her shirt.
“It’s true that Juvia did neglect her darling quite a lot these days. Now,” she whispered, as she closed the distance between them, “let her atone for this deadly sin.” she tiptoed, so she could see the darkening gaze of her beloved, and captured his mouth in a chaste kiss.
“Well, it is quite impolite to refuse a beautiful woman, so I have to endure this.” he grinned, as he pulled her against his chest, kissing her plump, rose lips. That day was going to be good.
---
Juvia’s back met the cushions of their living room couch, with Gray on top of her, raising up her chin, so he could give her one more passionate kiss. She happily reciprocated, as her hands were wandering on his now naked back, their tops and his pants long forgotten.
However, Gray and Juvia’s focus was solely on each other, so they failed to hear the door opening, and some tiny footsteps. “Sorry, I forgot my water bottle—” It was all Storm managed to say, before he saw his parents almost naked, his dad on top of his dear momma. As soon as their eyes met their son’s, the two mages quickly separated, seeing the horrified look on the little boy’s face.
“I… I… YOU GUYS ARE THE WORST!!!” Storm hollered, as raced to the door as fast as his tiny legs could, his face so red, it could rival his Aunt Erza’s hair.
“Storm!” Juvia tried to reach him, to no avail. “Gray, what did we do?!” she turned the Ice Mage’s way. “We traumatized our son for life! What if he doesn’t wanna come home anymore?!” Juvia’s eyes were now drowning in tears. Gray grimaced. “What are we gonna tell him if he comes back?”
“I’d say we taught him about the birds and the bees in a more… uncommon way. He was going to know about this sooner or later.” he shrugged, a smirk on his face.
“GRAY!” Juvia slapped his arm, while shotting him a glare. “Our son saw something that he should’ve never seen! What if he will never forgive us for this?” she let out a gasp, thoughts of their son drifting apart from them haunting her mind. “What if he doesn’t want to be our son anymore?!”
“Juvia, it’s fine. He might be scarred for a while, but he won’t do stuff like that. Besides, I’m sure he won’t tell anyone about it.” Gray assured his wife, their quality time now ruined.
How wrong he was, though.
---
As Storm finally arrived close to the meeting spot, he finally took a break, panting and sweating, he finally sat down on the bank of the channel, whose water flew freely. Most of the time, water made him smile, because it reminded him of his sweet, innocent mother. But as he took a glimpse of it, he felt blood rushing into his cheeks once again, and he quickly put his palms on them, so he could try and freeze them before someone noticed.
“Oi, Storm. We’re leaving soon.” Natsu was coming his way. This wasn’t good at all. Storm liked Natsu the most, out of all the people in the Guild. And the Fire Dragon Slayer also thought of the cobalt-haired boy as “the only thing related to Gray that he could tolerate”. If Natsu found out… Oh, Mavis.
“C-Coming!” Storm replied, still shook by the images that were now dug deep inside his brain.
“What’s going on, Sleepy Eyes? You’ve been staring at the water for a long time.” The pink-haired man finally asked, after he saw the child stare at the water for too long.
“I-It’s nothing. I-I’m fine.” Storm babbled, avoiding eye contact. Everyone who knew him knew that these were signs of him lying. And Natsu did not fail to notice them.
“Did something happen? Did the Ice Princess do something to you?” he snarled. No one touches a kid of Fairy Tail and gets away with it! Not even a fellow member.
Storm tried to muffle a shriek, but Natsu was still able to hear it. As Lucy tried to call them, he told her to wait for a bit longer, and after some more persuading, Storm spilled it all out.
“That Ice Princess, doing stuff like this to Juvia in front of his kid!” Natsu mumbled. However, a light Lachyma lit up above his head.
“Well, Storm, your parents seem to suffer from a nasty disease called… Perv Syndrome! It all starts with taking of your clothes casually outside your home, then you take them off more regularly, and then you start doing weird things like those you said to me, and they become even worse over time,” Natsu explained, “It’s also extremely contagious, and those who contact it are called perverts.”
“WHAAAAAA?!” Storm replied, horror and scandal painted on his face. Sometimes, he’s so gullible, Natsu told to himself. “So I’m gonna be a pervert too?!”
“Yes, but there is a cure. However, the cure is so difficult to obtain, that not even the strongest can obtain it.” Natsu replied, having Storm’s attention. “You must stop taking your clothes off.”
“But how am I gonna bathe if I don’t take them off?” Storm frowned.
“Unless it’s because your needs, you must keep your clothes on, no matter what. This is the only cure to the Perv Syndrome!” Natsu lamented, making Storm frown even more.
“If this means I won’t do gross stuff, I’ll try my best.” He clenched his fists, a determined look adorning his pale face.
“We can even ask Freed to use a rune on you, if you want to.” The pink-haired man suggested, gaining a nod of approval from the five-year-old. “Now, let’s go and visit the zoo! Bet you’ll feel better after we arrive there,” Natsu grinned.
“Mmm… Can I have ice-cream there?” Storm asked, his eyes gleaming. He might’ve inherited Gray’s eye color, but he got their shape from Juvia.
“Sure thing, Hail Storm. Onward, to the land of the unknown!” he grabbed Storm and ran to the group. A small price for salvation.

BONUS:
“And this is why I don’t strip anymore.” a 19-year-old Storm Fullbuster finished his story about his journey of non-stripping.
“I knew Flame Brain was behind all of this!” Gray muttered under his breath, still enraged that Natsu had done this to his son. It’s been 14 years since he stopped stripping altogether, much to everyone’s shock, and the guild’s relief.
“So what if I am, Droopy Eyes?” Natsu snarled, earning a punch from his frenemy.
“Don’t get mixed up in family matters, Pointy Eyes! Especially if that family isn’t yours!” Gray replied, as the Dragon Slayer sent another punch at him, as Storm groaned at their interactions.
“So dad is the one responsible for you taking your coat off like, once a month.” The voice belonged to none other than Luna Dragneel. “You really were that gullible, huh?” she crossed her hands under her chest, staring at her iris-haired teammate.
“Sure looks like it. I learned about the birds and the bees in an unconventional way.” Storm laughed, but before he knew it, he felt Luna’s thumb and index finger flip his nose. “Ow!”
“You can’t say stuff like this out loud!” the pink-haired woman hissed at him, as Storm rolled his eyes. “Still, I can’t believe you saw Uncle Gray and Aunt Juvia do… things that day.” she added, feeling rose paint her cheeks.
“And it all started because of a water bottle forgotten at home.” Storm smiled, as he saw his dad engaging in a full fight against Natsu. “Bet my dad can beat yours, Luna.” he smirked the Fire Mage’s way.
“Nuh-uh. The score for my dad is 361 victories, unlike your dad’s 360 ones.” Luna smirked confidently.
“You’ve clearly lost your mind. My dad is the one who won 361 times.”
“Wanna prove you wrong, Ice Boy?” Luna instigated, encouraging him to come closer.
“Bring it on, Sparkie.” Storm smirked. This was going to be fun.
