Gray's POV

While Natsu and Erza were out to rent whatever horror movie they wanted, Lucy and myself were watching some episode from The Simpsons.

"So, Loke was that bad today?" I asked grinning slightly to her in an if-you-know-what-I-mean way.

She didn't even turned her face, only rolling her eyes few seconds in my direction. "Don't you know how he is?"

I sighed. "Yes I know, but you understand that's not the point of my question."

She finally turned her face, kind of annoyed. I know the subject of herself and Loke is a pretty senstive one, but I'm just a bit curious. Is it that bad? "I know where you're going with this and no, I won't date him anytime soon."

I shruged. "I just think you two get pretty well along, that's all." I wasn't lying saying that, and worst, that poor guy who was a total player some months ago stopped his 'activities' for Lucy's sake.

I could see a faint blush on her face. "It's not like you're the first one to tell me that...I don't know, maybe I just need a little time to understand what I really want." Then her face turned into an angry pout surprisingly fast and threw me a pillow square in my face. "Stop stalking my love life now!"

I laughed way too hard than I should have. I may be a guy, but love gossips are sometimes pretty entertaining. "Okay, okay I'll stop for tonight then."

"No! You just stop for forever, period!"

"Nope, you don't have any control on my mind, nor my mouth." I said crossing my arms behind my head to give myself a relaxing position.

Something sparkled in her eyes, something mischevilious. "Talking about the control of your mouth, did you scored at yesterday's party or something?"

The surprise on my face was obvious. "What the hell? Girls usually don't ask that kind of question to guys!"

"Who cares? I'm not the usual type of girl neither." She was right about that. "I know Juvia has an eye on you...well everyone knows."

I rolled my eyes. "You kidding me? She's way too into me, it's scaring the shit out of me. And of course, everyone knows! She screamed her love to me in the main hall three weeks ago, people still teasing me about it..."

She giggled chidishly at the past thought. God, everyone was dining back then and she came out of nowhere, climbed on an table and screamed loud and clear : "Gray-sama will forever be the only one in my heart!!" Seriously, I almost had a heart crisis afterwards. "Oh I remember that, and I, most of all, remember the, oh, priceless face you did." I sighed exasperantingly. " But we're getting off track with this, so what's the answer to my question."

I looked straight in her eyes, waited ten seconds and declared sternly : "Get lost~"

"You're no fun!" She shouted. "You randomly ask me things about me and Loke, but when I want to ask you the same kind of stuff, you be like 'fuck no!' not fair man."

Well...she was right, she at least told me she considers him, the least I could do...is tell her something...

"Fine, you win, I kissed someone last night."

She grinned proudly. "I knew it, who is she?"

She. "You'll be deeply disappointed, but I don't even know, she was drunk and then kissed without even caring." Not bad, half of this is actually true. No way in hell I'd tell her who it was.

"Wow, that's so much you, another unknown drunk date in your book right?"

I nodded slowly. "Yep, and it's better this way, I'm really not ready to seriously date someone...not now at least..."

She gazed saddly to me. "...I'm sorry...I've kind of forgoten..."

"Don't upset yourself with it, I need to move on at some point, but sure as hell is not now." I watched blankly the TV. She opened her mouth to say something but slowly closed her mouth.

"ITADAIMA!!"

Both Lucy and I jumped off the couch. Erza and Natsu had entered japenese way as I can tell, I'd prefer they didn't. Those two were laughing pretty hard, probably from the reaction we had...funny fact : Erza wasn't acting this way usually, what has gotten to her?

Lucy was clutching her pink sweatshirt where her heart should be. "Was that a fucking plan to make me a heart attack?" She yelled. Natsu laughed even harder. "Take this as my revenge for yesterday." He winked at her. With that he runned to the couch and decided to jump on it, hopefully for us, we were standing when this happened.

He bounced a little from his high landing and when he was stable, decided to take a relaxing pose. I rolled my eyes. "You mind making a place for us?"

He placed his finger under his chin faking a reflexion pose. "This is a really hard dilemma, you see, if I let you two on the couch, then I lose all my space..." He exagerately sighed.

Lucy's right eye was twitching of annoyance. "Then you don't mind if..." She jumped roughly on where his feet were nonchalentely reposing.

His eyes opened wide, but otherwise no reaction. "Damn Lucy, you weigh as much as a feather."

She wanted to say something, but couldn't make her mind. "Uh...I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or not in this situation..."

While the two of them were...discussing, I turned to Erza. "So what movie you brought?"

"Texas Chainsaw Massacre, gory stuff is always funny, right?" She shrugged, unsure of her own answer.

"Well, I guess, in some disturbing way... whatever, how's Jellal by the way." She gave me a small shy smile. "He's fine... um..." she seemed to get serious for some unknown reasons. "I'll have to ask you something later, in private."

I probably looked annoyed. "Why, I'm pretty sure I haven't done anything bad lately..." Aside the drunk kiss...

"I wouldn't be so sure if I was you. Well you judge by yourself what is wrong or not later, the movie is waiting for us." She took out the blood and chainsaw decorated cover from a plastic bag along with three packs of popcorn.

She cannot know what I've done yeaterday, can't she? And if she says me that it's her super "warden sense" working, I will probably only laugh at her face, which is certainly not a good idea if I want to live a little longer...

A/N : Finally did something!! 'Bout time, am I right? Anyway I won't grantee that I will continue it because it might as well be an unvolountary lie. I'm procrastinating even in stuff I like to do as writing -_- if I continue sooner or later though, the movie scene may be really enjoyable to read if you know what I mean #thetimesclichéareactuallynicetome...
Long hashtag...
Anyway see you later~
