chapter seventeen
"So warm." Liz snuggled into Gray's bare chest. Gray blushed, but didn't move her. "Gray, you're an ice mage, how are you so warm?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's because your used to the cold, like I am."
"That's a good reason." She chuckled, it was deeper than her normal laugh. Her voice was deeper in the mornings, as was Gray's.
"Sorry, for, y'know, almost kissing you yesterday. I was using that as an excuse to catch you off guard and attack, and it was wrong of me."
"Hey, it's okay. It did piss me off a little, but I'm okay now, and that's all that matters. Right?"
"Yeah! That's right." He smiled at her. "Your boobs are soft." He shoved his face in her chest, and she blushed.
"Way to ruin the moment." She smacked him, and he leaned away, chuckling with red cheeks.
"Sorry."
They were both blushing so hard, Erza's hair would look pink compared to them.
The reason Gray ruined the moment is because he didn't want anything to happen with Elizabeth. It can't happen. It's just not right.
Besides, what if they're not committed if they become a relationship? Liz's job is to protect Ash. They're her partners.
If they get into a relationship, what if an enemy uses that against them (*cough cough* meredy *cough cough*)? It's too complicated. And if they end up on bad terms? Who knows what'll happen.
"My boobs are soft, thanks. Alright, how do we wake up beasty boy and blonde bimbo?"
"Make some noise!" He smirked, as they both got out from the sleeping bag.
They both yelled, and clapped their hands.
"Wake up, my friends! It's time to go exploring!" Liz stomped around.
"Yes, yes, let's go!" Gray laughed, following Liz.
"What time is it?" Happy asked,
"Time for you to get a watch. Ba da tsk." Liz winked at the cat, who just groaned. "C'mon, get your lazy asses up!" She yelled, and everyone got up, and got ready.
"Scarier than Erza!" Lucy flinched, picking an outfit out.
"I wouldn't take it that far, now."

"It's too early." Natsu yawned, as they stepped outside.
"It's crazy early in the morning." Gray stretched out, too. "Why'd we get up so early, Liz?"
"I regret my decision." She stumbled, and leaned on Gray for support.
She was jumping around too much, and her voice was giving out, as well.
"Who are you blaming for not being able to sleep?! You also woke us all up! If you didn't wake us all up, we would've gotten a little extra sleep. Okay! Let's put our energy into this and get going!" Lucy turned around, and marched forward.
