Frozen Heart (GrayLu Fanfic)

Her

*GRAY'S POV*

Did I just hear her voice just now? But it couldn't be. It's just my imagination, I'm sure of it.

I'm going nuts. I'm turning crazy, I'm hearing voices. Is she haunting me?

Then I heard another voice, but it isn't hers, "Gray-sama, it's time to go back. The other members are worrying about you."

It's Juvia.

"A-Alright. Go on ahead, I'll be right there." I replied.

"But, are you sure you're alright? Ever since Lucy passed away, you weren't your usual self. Juvia knows it was hard to move on, but you really have to leave it in the past. I'm sure Lucy would like that."

Juvia's right. That's what Lucy would've wanted, to forget about the past and go on with the future. She would even say the same thing.

I shook my head, "Heh, this is so stupid. I'm being lectured by an idiot here." I jokingly said.

"Wh-What?! Juvia is not an idiot!"

"I know, I know. I was just kidding with you."

"Jeez! Juvia gave you an advice then you called her an something dumb like idiot!" she pouted.

"I-I said I was kidding." I laughed fakely. I forgot that Juvia takes things seriously when it comes to teases like what I did just now.

She sighed, "Let's just go back now."

I was about to tease her again but I was afraid that she might get so mad.

***

When we went back to the guild, all of the mages have this worried face on them. Did I really made them worry that much?

"Gray, are you alright now? We were really worried when you walked out like that." Cana asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay now. It's thanks to Juvia and Daphne for waking my senses up." I answered assurely.

"Daphne? Who's she? Was she also a mage in this guild too?" Natsu asked while tilting his head. I guess he must've forgot.

"No, she wasn't. In fact, you fought her dragonoid before, Natsu." - Mirajane

Natsu closed his eyes and tried to remember who Daphne is.

"Uhhhh... Err... Who's she again? I really can't remember."

Then Lisanna shook her head in disappointment, letting out a sigh, "Natsu, Daphne is the girl with the white cowboy hat. And the one eating a pocky-product thing."

Natsu's face lit up with realization, "Oh her! Then does that mean she's a comrade now? She's our enemy right?" He asked.

"Yeah, but she said she changed." the ice mage answered seriously.

"Like I'd believe that!" Natsu sat and pouted, "I really can't forget the time that she imprisoned me inside her fake dragon! Just thinking about it makes me so mad!!" He complained angrily.

Then the armored mage held his shoulder, "Calm down Natsu, past is past." - Erza

Natsu looked at her with a scared face, "O-Okay..!"

"Anyways Gray, it's good to be your normal self again."

"You've been too emotional these days. It's kind of new to us and we don't like it." Natsu crossed his arms. Oh? Squinty eyes was worried about me?

"Sorry again though but Natsu, did you worry about me that much?" I teased with a chuckle.

"What's that?!"

"I said, did you worry about me?"

"No I didn't! Yuck! Worry someone like you?! Disgusting!"

Then all of them laughed like it's been a while since they heard a good joke. I missed teasing this jerk, in fact, I missed all of these. The fun in guild and stuff. I wish Lucy was here..

Suddenly, I heard a giggling voice.

"Well well Gray, are you switching me with Natsu already?" The female giggled again.

I turned around and searched the surroundings..

?!

I can't believe what I'm seeing, are my eyes playing tricks with me? It couldn't be her.

"What?" She smiled.

"Lucy?"

To be continued.
