I Love You To Death (Gray x OC).

Ch. 7 Going on a Mission... with Gray!

Tristitia's P.O.V
Time skip
So far, I've been in the guild for about three weeks. In that time, I've become friends with team Natsu, even becoming an official member, and my friendship with Gray grew stronger. The guild hasn't gotten over the match between me and Natsu yet.
For the time being, I've been staying at Lucy's place, and we've been talking about girly stuff and what was going on in the guild.
Today was Monday, and it was quite peaceful. It was cool outside and a slight breeze drifted through the air. I was walking with Lucy to the guild when a table came flying towards my face.
"Natsu!!" I yelled, charging into the guild. He looked at me and got tense, sweat dripping off his nervous brow.
"Whats up, Tris?"
"You know what's up!! I just got hit with a table!"
"Oops. My bad." He smirked teasingly.
I ignored the idiot and walked over to Gray. He was standing in front of the request board, holding a slip of paper in his hand. I tapped his shoulder and he looked back at me. He smiled.
Hey Tris, what's up? "
"I just got hit by a table. You? "
"That idiot. I'm looking to take a break from team Natsu for a while."
"Oh. So which one are you doing? "
"This one," he held up the slip of paper and for some reason, an ugly face was on it.
It read:
Undercover Mission!
For years, we've held the Magic Items Auction, in which wizards from all over Fiore can come and auction for magical items. Because of the worth of the items, thief guilds come trying to steal some of them. We need your help! We would like some of the wizards of Fairy Tail to go under cover as one of the rich auctioneers and catch them before they can steal any items.
Reward: 100,000 jewel + any magic item of your choice.
Thank you Fairy Tail! - Jace

"Wow. That sounds cool." I said.
"Tris... I was wondering if you would like to go with me on this mission... you know... for company?"
"Of course. I'd love to go!" I smiled and blushed a little.
He blushed a little, too.
"Alright, we should try to leave in a hour if we want to get there early. I'll get my tux, you should ask Lucy for a dress."
"Sure Gray."
"We'll meet up in a hour." He walked over to Mira and gave her the request. She looked over at me, smiling like she does when she sees potential ships. I glared back at her. She looked back down and started to contact the person who had made the request.
I walked over to Lucy, who was talking to Levy, who was also one of my close friends.
"Hey, um Lucy?"
"Yeah Tris?" The nickname Gray "gave" me started to rubb off on everyone else. He didn't give it to me, sadly, as I've had that nickname my entire life.
"I'm going on a mission with Gray and I need a dress." She put on her serious Lucy face. She stood up and reached for my hand.
"This is an emergency! Let's get out of here before you get hit by another table," She dragged me out of the guild.
Time skip- train station
Even though I hate trains, Gray didn't want me to fly him for the three hour trip. We were done buying tickets and we climbed aboard the train.
We sat across from one another. I was lucky enough to have a window seat.
Ten minutes later, the train started to go down the tracks. Almost immediately, the overpowering sensation of nausea overwhelmed me. I threw open the window and stuck my head out.
Gray laughed.
"I thought Natsu had a problem."
I put my head back in a looked at Gray. I lifted my shirt a little and pointed to my emblem that covered the gash. But I knew that with enough force the pain could make me pass out.
" Gray, if you apply enough pressure to the emblem, it should knock me out." I mumbled,my face turning red and my cheeks puffed out. Gray looked shocked.
"What? Why would you want me to knock you out?"
"I can't take much more of this! If you don't, I will."
"Okay, okay. Ice make: rock! "
Posing as a passenger...
Author: seriously Gray. A rock?!
Gray: Shat up!
Author: But, Gray, I love you! 'Silence follows'.
A medium sized chonk of ice formed in his hand. The last thing I remember was him smashing the ice rock hardly against my torso, followed by immense pain, and I blacked out.
While I was asleep, I had a flashback.
Flashback : 10 years ago
It had been two years since my parents had been murdered. My only company was Althia, my little sister. She was now six, the age I had been when our parents had died.
We had been living in a farmer's barn secretly for over a year. The only thing we ate was eggs, potatoes, and other vegetables that grew there. A week ago time, we had been caught and forced to leave the farm.
We were camping out in a tree one night when the air filled up with whispers.
"Lysa, Otis couldn't catch her two years ago. What makes you certain that we can?" There was a young man and woman, who looked like twins, down below, each with dark hair.
"Dear brother Jacques, I heard word of an orphan girl and her younger sister that had been living on a farm not a little ways far from here. And also, my telepathy is sensing someone nearby... no... above us."
"Really? Where?" Questioned Jacques. Lysa looked up to where my sister and I were hiding. A maniacal grin spread across her face and she pointed up at me.
"There!" She shouted, looking up at me with crazy aqua eyes. I tried to climb down the tree but there was suddenly a force pushing me back. An enchantment had been placed around the tree, prohibiting me from climbing down.
"You're ours now, Tristitia. Nowhere to run." Grinned Jacques. Then his sister, Lysa, raised her hands up to us.
"Sweet dreams children...SLEEP!" The last thing I remembered was laughter before falling into a deep slumber.
Flashback over.
My eyes fluttered open. Gray was looking at me, his intense grey orbs staring deep into my own blood red ones. I observed his face. He looked really happy and I blushed.
He is actually kind of cute when he smiles. Wait, why is my heart beating fast and my forehead all sweaty?
Author: It's called love.
Tris: What? Who is there?
I shook my head. Then I noticed that the train had stopped.
"We're here Tris, Rylicka."
"Cool. So what do we do now?"
Author: We die!
"Well, it's around 5:00, so we can go to the person who wrote the request. After, we can find a place for dinner."
"Yeah. That sounds cool."
Smiling, I took him by the hand and led him out of the train with our luggage.

Gray's P.O.V
Tris took my hand. Her hand was warm and fuzzy like that of a carrying mother's. Her wings reappeared and she flew us to where the request had been sent from.
We finally got there and two men in tuxs led us into the man's office.
The man who had sent the request was quite an awkward one. He had on a tux, along with a black cape with rime stones and a top hat. When he spoke, his voice made you want to go crazy.
"Hello," he said in a squeaky high pitched voice, "I'm Jace, the sponsor of the auction. I take it that you are from Fairy tail? "
"Yes."
Wow. That voice is going to get annoying fast.
"Alright then. Since all the hotels in the area have been completely sold out due to the auction, I have a spare room for you two."
"Thank you, Mr. Jace," said Tris happily. Jace was eyeing her. That pervert. My hands clenched into fists.
"Where is our room?" I snapped.
"Upstairs, first door to your left."
"Thanks. Tris, let's go." I took her by the hand and led her up the stairs.
