Into the Future｜GrayLu｜

Chapter 6・Kids on Jobs

The gang finally arrived at the guild.

"I love how they kept the guild sign the same, but changed everything else," Lucy laughed. Gray looked at her and smiled. "I wonder how everyone else is going to react, seeing us way older than them, even older than Macao and Wakaba!"

Natsu looked at both of them. "You guys don't look that old, you're just in your what age?" he asked. "They're in their 30's Natsu," Erza replied for them.

"Wow... you guys are really old!" Happy exclaimed. Natsu quickly grabbed his mouth to shut him up. "Sshh!" he told him.

"Do we really look that old?" Lucy asked.

"Not really, you still kinda look younger than Macao and Wakaba. But you guys really grew. You're the same height as me Lucy!" Natsu walked up to her and compared their heights.

Gray pulled Lucy away from Natsu.

"Don't worry Gray, I won't steal her from you," Natsu rolled his eyes. "At least not the future her," he thought.

Natsu kicked the door down and made everyone inside look at him.

"What're trying to do!? Break the guild?" Gajeel yelled. "Shut up Iron Boy!" Natsu yelled back at him.

"Oh and by the way, this is future Lucy and Gray. They came from the future on accident," Natsu announced to everyone.

Mostly the whole guild gathered around them.

"Wow Lucy! You're still hot as ever!" one of the guild members said. "Hey don't talk to my woman like that!" Gray said and everyone gasped.

"Woman? Are you and Lucy a thing in the future?" Mira asked.

Lucy and Gray nodded and blushed in embarrassment.

"Aww there's no need to be shy about your love!" Cana said as she gulps down a barrel of booze.

Juvia suddenly popped out, standing between the guild doors.

"Gray-sama! I've been looking for you!" Juvia said and jumped into Gray's back. "Gray-sama seems really tall. What have you been doing?" she asked still hugging him.

"I don't think she heard it yet," Lucy whispered to Gray.

"Love rival! Gray-sama is mine, go away!" Juvia said and stuck her tongue out. She stopped hugging Gray and clung to his arm. "Let's go on a date Gray-sama!" she said enthusiastically as she dragged him out.

"Juvia wait," Gray halted and took Juvia's hands off of his arm.

"I know you don't want to believe this, but Lucy and I end up together in the future," Gray confessed, looking away at Juvia. "And.... we already have 2 kids."

Juvia gasped and tears rolled down her eyes. "You took Gray-sama away from me..." she said and ran out the door.

"Wait Juvia!" Lucy said about to go after her, but Gray stopped him.

"I'll go get her, you guys just rest a bit," Natsu said and ran after Juvia.

Year X804

"Hey I just realized something," Gray said. "What is it?" Lucy asked.

"If we're in the future, aren't our future selves back in X791?" he asked. "Well I wonder how everyone else reacted when they saw us in the future?" Lucy asked hugging Rina.

The whole time they've been in the future, Lucy, Gray, Rina, and Toma where spending family time together.

"Where else do you guys want to go next?" Gray asked.

"I'm pretty tired, but I want some ice cream. Can we get some?" Rina asked looking up at her parents. "Um, I don't have any money with me. They're all back in X791 at my house," Lucy sweat dropped.

"Same here, why don't we get a job then? So we can get paid," Gray said. "That's a good idea, but what job?" Lucy asked.

"How about the job that we took awhile ago? About finding something in the future? Well we're in the future right now, maybe the thing hasn't even been buried yet," Gray joked.

"Well it's worth a shot. Let's go find it again," Lucy said, determination in her eyes.

"I was just joking, but I guess we'll go try then. You guys want to help us?" Gray asked Rina and Toma.

"It's been a long time since we went on a job, so sure," Toma answered. "You guys went on jobs?!" Gray and Lucy asked in unison.

Rina and Toma nodded.

"I mean we're old enough to go on a job, we know how to use our powers well enough to defeat bad guys," Rina explained. "But you guys are too young, did you go on missions alone?" Lucy asked.

"Sometimes we go with you guys, but most of the time just us two, along with Aunt Erza and Uncle Jellal's kid, Mika, and Aunt Levy and Uncle Gajeel's kid, Kazuo," Toma replied.

"So four children are going on missions and aren't supervised by adults?" Gray asked shocked.

"We're not children dad, we're almost teenagers. And don't worry, we're not going on any S-class missions," Toma said as he rolled his eyes.

"Hey don't roll your eyes at me young man," Gray pointed at Toma. Lucy giggled, which made Gray look at her. "You sound like a father already."

"Yeah to our kid," Gray said.

Lucy blushed and cleared her throat. "So we going on that job or not?" she asked changing the subject.

"Well I really want ice cream, so yes," Rina said. "Who said you were in-charge young lady?" Gray asked, not realizing that he's really acting like a dad.

"I swear, you're one strict dad," Rina giggled. "I'm not strict, I'm fun," Gray crossed him arms.

"Yeah and childish," Toma added and both him and Rina laughed. "Your kids are really bullying you," Lucy laughed along with them.

"They're yours too," Gray said in a low voice. "What was that?' Lucy asked.

"Nothing. Let's just head to East Forest already," he said and leaded everyone.
