Chapter 2: Blushing about Ramen?

"You finally look pretty good today."

"Gray?" Lucy asked the ice mage.

"Yeah Luce?" replied Gray.

"I really got to tell you something, but don't freak out," warned Lucy.

"Sure . . . Okay, what is it?" questioned Gray.

Feeling unsure about telling him the truth, she took a deep breath.

"Gray, I love you, and I reall-"

Lucy didn't understand what happened. She had just confessed her love for Gray, but she was interrupted by the touch of his lips. She couldn't believe that Gray kissed her. The kiss lasted for a minute, even though it only felt like a second.

"Lucy," Gray finally spoke, "I love y-"

Just as Gray was about to confess his love for Lucy, a certain celestial spirit woke Lucy from her slumber.

"Princess, get up," said the handsome spirit.

"Loke, why are you here?" yawned Lucy, who was upset due to the fact that she was having the best dream ever.

"I came to see you, since it's been a while," responded Loke, "Why do you have a cranky look on your face?"

"I was having an amazing dream and something big was about to happen," said the blonde before she pushed her face against her pillow.

"Were you dreaming about me?" Loke snickered.

"No, I was dreaming about . . . . the new outfit I wanted to buy yesterday," Lucy lied.

"It's okay, Lucy, you don't have to lie about your feelings for me," Loke proclaimed, "Well I have to go, don't miss me too much."

Just before Lucy was about to say a snappy remark, the celestial spirit disappeared.

Lucy sighed, "I guess I should get ready and head out to the guild."

*A couple of hours later*

Lucy started making her way to Fairy Tail. A couple of older men whistled at her. She didn't say anything, but gave them a disgusted look.

"Those men must have no respect towards women. I'm not a dog; therefore, they shouldn't whistle at me. I wish that I had a boyfriend. Ugh, I sound so desperate, but I'm tired of being lonely. Aquarius must be right; I'll never get a boyfriend. Lucy, stop! Don't let her negative words influence my thoughts. I'll get a boyfriend . . . someday.

As Lucy's thoughts rumbled, she saw a flame and an ice mage fist fighting outside the guild.

"Hi guys," Lucy said cheerfully.

Gray stopped fighting and his eyes met Lucy's.

"Uhm, hi Lucy," Gray said as he blushed.

Before Lucy could say anything, or better yet, before she could even react to his blushing, Natsu punched Gray in the face.

"Yippee!" Natsu jumped in the air, "I won! I got the last hit!"

Gray didn't care. The only thing that he could think about was how Lucy looked. She wore a blue mini skirt with a white and blue top. He has seen her in that outfit before, but he felt there was something different about her today.

"Lucy looks really cute today. I mean, she always looks cute, but today she looks even cuter. Maybe I should give her a compliment or something," Gray thought.
