GrayLu (fanfiction)

Chapter 1: A suprise for Lucy

1: Just sitting beside you

Gray:

I never get to be with her...

That stellar spirit mage?

Who am I kidding?

Gray's thoughts swirled in his mind as he sat by the bar, his face rested on his right hand, wherein his right elbow rested on the bar table. Apparently he was looking at Lucy who sat beside him, seemingly listening to her as she ranted about small trivial things like... her apartment rent perhaps? Though he was partly at fault for her lost of funds, he finds himself quite pleased at the thought.

At least I'm not a nobody in her world...

He glances at Mirajane who cleans some glasses as she listens to Lucy's rant. He orders for something cold, anything on the menu, just to sit beside Lucy longer. If only Lucy knew, just the mere sight of her made him jump in delight inside his head. He was just glad there was no mage around Fairy Tail who could read his thoughts at the moment.

"... and then, Natsu, created a big fireball which almost destroyed my house, it's a good thing Gray was there to freeze everything up..." Lucy ranted. "Stupid Natsu cooking the wrong way when there's clearly a stove!" Lucy slammed the table with her palm.

"That fire idiot is so stupid," Gray added in a deadpan tone, so that he could disguise the feeling he was feeling "sometimes, I wonder if there is no end to his stupidity." He felt pleased that Lucy was relieved that he was there to save the day (or save her house).

"I had no idea that Natsu would like to cook," Mirajane said with a smile. "By the way, I don't see him around,"

"Erza dragged him to some errand," Gray said then he looked at Lucy. With a smile he said "That's why I'm able to relax today right?"

Lucy:

I hate it when I lose my cool...

Did he just smile?

How come his smile was enough to make me stop and listen to my heart skip?

Lucy stopped what she whatever she was doing when the ice mage beside her looked her way and smiled. She placed a fist over her chest and felt something skipping inside. It's true, that day, she begged Erza to bring Natsu along with her, but, during that time... she reasoned that it isn't right for a woman to go alone. Did she do it in purpose so that she could see Gray in the guild alone without Natsu around?

Oh no.... I feel weird!
