Lies and Love (Graylu)

Several Conclusions

Grey and Graysoni looked at each other before reaching up and pulling on both of Lucy's hands.

"Mother?"

Lucy snapped out of it.

"A-A pleasure to meet you Fullbuster-san," she replied as calmly as she could with a hand held towards him.

Gray could literally feel his blood boil within him. Realization after realization hit him like cold sea water crashing down on him wave after wave.

"What the hell is t-"

"My name is Lucy Heartfilia, I believe this is the first time I've met with such a famous actor before," she added in an innocent tone, cutting him off.

Gray's brow furrowed at hearing her say this, then he felt something tug on his pant leg.

"Don't be rude to mother," Grayson whispered, pointing up at her held out hand.

Reluctantly and silently, Gray took her hand and shook it, unable to say anything.

Lucy smiled at him before turning to Natsu. "How about we grab something to eat? I believe the boys haven't gotten anything to eat yet due to their little detour," she said with a brow raised at the twin boys who were grinning.

"Of course! There's a restaurant not far from here, I think it'll be better to eat there than eat the unhealthy ones served here in the park," he said before turning to Gray. "How about it Fullbuster-san? Would you care to join us? That is if you don't mind joining this average family," he added with a grin.

"Yes, you may join us if you want Fullbuster-san," Lucy said with a sweet smile.

Gray, a frown still on his features, was still confused with the whole situation, he still couldn't say a word.

"He'll come!" Grayson answered for him.

"Won't you?" Grey added, looking at him.

"What?" Juvia said into her cell, a frown on her face. "Well, if you're sure... okay, ja"

Frowning, she looked at the screen of her cell until Gray's name disappeared as the call ended.

"Lockser?"

"Yes?"

"Where do we put all these?" the man asked, pointing to a few boxes.

"Just put them in the truck please," she said with a smile before a frown appeared on her features again. 'Why is he so attached to those kids?' she thought. It was the first time Gray had any emotional connection to anyone or anything for the past few years. Now it's happened again and in the same country no less.

"Don't worry...I'm just gonna grab a bite to eat with the twins and their family as thanks for helping me with the signing earlier. I'll meet you back in Tokyo."

"Excuse me, I have to use the ladies' room," Lucy said, getting up from her seat.

Watching her leave, Natsu turned back to Gray whom he had noticed had been frowning ever since they left the park.

"Are you alright?"

Gray looked at him, a frown still on his face. "Yeah, I'm...just a bit tired from earlier," he lied, trying to put a smile on his face.

"Yeah, there were a lot of people..."

"...but it was really fun!"

That said, the twin boys started goofing off and doing all sorts of poses on their seats.
