"Gray, you're so unfair!" I whined, reaching out my palms to get my shirt back. Gray snickered and waved them around.

"If you want 'em, come get 'em." He said, with a playful tone. I growled and pounced on him like a lion going in for the kill. Or lioness in this case.

It must've taken him by surprise because he fell backwards as I sat on his stomach. I snatched the shirt away from him and grinned.

"I win."

Later...

It'd been too long since we'd hanged out like this. Everything was back to normal. Gray was back, the guild was being rebuilt- for the millionth time -and me and Gray could lived together in peace. Finally. He has been staying with me for about a week now. We've been having all sorts of fun. Some kinds of fun I probably shouldn't mention. (A/N: *wink*)

I just watched him. Laying there next to me in my bed, sleeping soundlessly. His eyes shut, and his lips slightly apart. He looked so... Happy. I could be like this forever. I ran my fingers threw his soft, smooth hair. I looked at his Fairy Tail insignia. I could remember seeing the Sabertooth mark on the same spot. We never really talk about what happened. It's best not to.

I looked out the window next to the bed and stared at the night sky. God, it's beautiful. It's little glowing stars, splattered across it's surface. I smiled at the thought of flying through the sky. Spreading my wings across the blue panes, reaching out to touch the moon.

"Lu... Luce?" I heard Gray mumbled. I quickly looked down and smiled softly.

"Hi. I didn't mean to wake you up, sorry." I said, whispering. He sat up, scratching his head. I noticed the beautiful sky as well, and his eyes lit up.

"Damn, it's gorgeous, isn't it?" I exclaimed, leaning against the edge of the window, looking out. He watched in awe of the sky. I smiled and pulled his ear gently to face me. "A-Aye!" He growled.

His eyes looked into mine. His dark... Midnight eyes. They're so beautiful. They're just like the night sky. I brought my hands to his cheeks and smiled again.

"I'm glad this war is over, Gray." He looked at me for a moment then grinned softly, leaning towards me causing me to lean back slightly.

"Me too." He intertwined his fingers with mine and we shared our love through touch. (A/N: *wink* *wink*)

How could this night be any better?

Gray and I were at the library when I found the perfect book for Levy. It was a present for letting me read- and keep -the romance novel from before.

I reached up as high as I could to grab the spine of the book. I stood on my tip-toes on the unsteady ladder. But Gray was holding it, so at least I felt a little bit safe.

My cheeks warm up as I knew that Gray was down there, and I decided to wear a mini skirt.

"G-Gray, keep it steady!" I squealed, holding onto the top rims of the ladder for balance.
