Hi, guys! :D I actually got the idea for this story from the song "Thinking of You" by Katy Perry.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Fairy Tail or the song, "Thinking of You." Like I said earlier, that song is by Katy Perry. Fairy Tail is owned by the awesome Hiro Mashima. If I owned Fairy Tail, Natsu and Lucy would have kissed already.
Gray's lips met Lucy's. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she responded by wrapping her own small limbs around his neck. Although it seemed like she was enjoying the kiss, she couldn't help but think about Natsu. Instead of Gray's lips she truly wanted Natsu's. She couldn't help but taste his mouth instead, remebering the time when they were together, before she messed up.
"Luce...how could you do this to me?"
"It was just a kiss, we were drunk and-"
"It wasn't just a kiss, Lucy. I mean for God's sake, he's my BEST FRIEND!"
"I didn't mean to...I'm sorry. Just please don't leave me."
"Sorry doesn't change a thing, Luce. We're done."
"No, Natsu...Please, PLEASE! DON'T LEAVE...please..." Lucy started sobbing.
"Why don't you just stay with the guy you were making out with earlier?" Natsu snarled.
"I can't. I love you too much," she said as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Well maybe you should've thought of that before you did something so stupid. And if you love me that much, you're going to have to move on," he said harshly before turning around and walking away.
"You say move on, but to where...?" Lucy murmured quietly, but he didn't hear her.
Gray and Lucy fell into the bed. He looked into her eyes before saying with a smile, "Good night, Lucy." He kissed her forehead and they wrapped themselves in her covers. Lucy faced the wall and Gray was behind her, his chest against her back. He wrapped his arms around her once more, and again, she couldn't help but wish it was Natsu instead who held her close. Lucy may have gotten a bit attached to Gray, but the feelings she had for him and the feelings she had for the fire dragon slayer were very different. The blonde hated to admit it, but she really did love Natsu more than Gray. She remembered how he would break into her house just to sleep with her. She might have acted angry, but in truth, she was happy. Lucy felt disgusted with herself for even thinking that while Gray was sleeping right next to her. But even then, she couldn't help but think to herself, 'What if you were the one who was spending the night here instead?' She longed to look into his eyes as she drifted off to sleep, her head filled with dreams of him, and no one else.
~LALALALALA!~
Lucy woke up only to feel another body beside her, but instead of it being warm like she wished it was, it was ice cold. 'Oh yeah, Gray's an ice make mage...' She sighed inwardly. Lucy missed the warmth that would somehow always sneak into her bed without her noticing. She missed how it would wrap around her body and protect her. She missed the boy who projected this heat. She missed his body next to hers and longed for him to be with her again.
'Damn it...Why did I have to do something so stupid?' The Celestial Mage cursed herself for making such an idiotic mistake.
"Lucy, what's wrong?" The man laying beside her asked, as he tried to look at Lucy's face over her shoulder, his arms still wrapped around her lovingly. 'If only I could love him as much as he loves me...'She thought to herself. Lucy didn't answer his question, and soon found herself face to face with the man she was supposed to be in love with. He asked once again, "Luce, what's wrong?" She bristled at his words, the only person who could call her that was a certain pink haired idiot. "Don't call me that," she said in a quiet and menacing voice.
"Huh? I couldn't hear ya, Luce."
"I SAID, DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Lucy yelled at Gray, and he sat up, suddenly realizing why she didn't like him using that name for her. Lucy soon realized what she did and tried to apologize, "Gray, I'm sorry I-"
"Still not over Natsu are you?" He said with a pained expression on his face. "I'm sorry..." Lucy looked down at the bed sheets and clutched them tightly, making her knuckles turn white. She felt ashamed of herself. She just broke her friend's heart. "I understand. You love me, but you love him more, right?" He said with a bitter smile. Lucy didn't how to respond, but even if she wanted to, she couldn't. Her words were lodged in her throat as tears slowly rolled down her pale cheeks. Gray lifted her chin up gently with his hand. He looked into her eyes, "Hey, I understand. Yeah, I'm hurting, but so are you for just being with me. I won't force you to stay."
"I don't deserve you Gray. You're too nice to me...And after what I did to you..." Lucy said as her eyes welled up with more tears.
"Don't cry...I'm sure you can get him back. Just try your hardest," Gray said as he pulled Lucy in for a comforting embrace. She returned the gesture and started sobbing. Gray rubbed her back in slow circles and he pulled away and looked at the girl he could never have.
"I'll be leaving now. Go find Natsu and tell him how you feel. I'm sure he'll listen," he said with a small smile.
"Yeah," Lucy said as she gave him a small smile in return.
This is my first fanfic, so if you could please review, it would be very much appreciated! :D Also, please let me know if I should continue this story.
