Walking wistfully, by the riverside. She watched the clouds floating by. "Lucy," he stopped in front of her, trying to catch his breath. "Jogging again?" "Yep, you should join me sometime." "I have to pass." "Let me know if you change your mind." "Sure."

"Have you been to the doctors yet?" Lucy asked. "I don't need to." "You've trespassed into my house, while sleep-walking," she face palmed. "So, that's how I ended up in your room. It's kind of funny." "How? You're the reason for my insomnia." "I will be fine, as long as you're with me," he pulled her into his arms. "Gray," her cheeks gotten warm. She's so soft and she smells nice too. I think I'm going crazy. I just heard myself, I sound creepy. No, it's not like I was hiding in a tree and spying on her with a pair of binoculars. That never happened, you've got to believe me.

"Thank you for walking me home." "It's always a pleasure," he grinned. She invited him into her house. "Pun, pun." "Hello Plue," Lucy gave him a lollipop. She bent down to let Plue hug her. Lucy shrieked when she went into her room. Gray was half naked, sitting on her bed. His shirt was discarded on the floor. "Excuse me, aren't you making yourself too comfortable? Please put your shirt back on." She was surprised that he actually listened for once.

Gray was having a hard time, paying attention to the movie. It didn't help that they were sharing a blanket. Lucy snuggled up against him. Why does she have to make things harder? I blame her. She's too cute for her own good. He dug his hand into a bowl of popcorn, however he accidentally grabbed Lucy's hand. She blushes, not knowing what to say. He held her hand for a while before withdrawing.

It was completely dark in an instant. The power must have gone out. She could hear her own heart beating. He grabbed her by the shoulders. "Don't move," he said hoarsely. "I've wanted to tell you that I truly …" I can't seem to say it. Don't tell me, I lost my voice. Just great. He had to make gestures, to show that he couldn't speak. Lucy caught on. "Gray, you lost your voice?" He nodded in response. She was disappointed, when he left all of the sudden.

I wonder what he was going to tell me? Spending time with him, made me realise how much I enjoyed our conversations. I hope he feels the same. It was pouring outside, but she didn't care. She was out the door, hoping for him to come back to her. She closed her eyes.

Guilt was consuming him, leaving her like that. I need to see her. I want to see Lucy. He turned back and started running. Although it took sometime, he made it. His heart beat faster, every time he looked at her. Even though her hair was damp. She never looked so beautiful. Gray walked up to her and grabbed her shoulders. His lips made contact with hers. She didn't need to open her eyes; she knew who it was. Call it intuition. The kiss was intense and long. Their jaws were aching; clothes cling to their skin. She ran her hand through his short, spiky hair. Lucy flung her arms around his upper body. Her hands rested on his back, clutching his shirt. He angled his head to deepen the kiss more.

The two parted, panting heavily. Her cheeks were flushing. They looked at one another tenderly. He mouthed the words to her. "Baka, what took you so long?"

"Baby, I'm here aren't I?" He was glad to have his voice back. Lucy leaned in closer to him; she whispered something into his ear. Whatever it was, it made him blush tenfold.
