A/N: Hello, I'm newish here. I'm a huge fan of GraLu, and this isn't really story but rather a collection of everyday one-shots of the two in the Fairy Tail universe. It will strictly be in the Fairy Tail universe. If you want to make suggestions of what I should try writing next or whatever, comment or PM. Awesome, thank you :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or any of the characters. It was all created by the great Hiro Mashima. If I did own Fairy Tail, GraLu would've been canon, and Juvia's character wouldn't revolve around Gray like Sakura was to Sasuke in the Naruto series. Sorry, ranting here because I really love her character and the love interest just diluted her character.

whispers in my ear


"Lucy, what the hell are you doing?"

The celestial mage almost choked on her strawberry milkshake, but she recovered with a small cough. She glared at the offending ice mage now beside her at the bar.

"Geez Gray, way to greet someone."

"Sorry," he offered. "But seriously, what are you doing? You been writing all morning."

Lucy raised a delicate brow with a smile. "Oh, you've been watching me?"

"Kind of hard not to." He pointedly gave her a once-over.

"Hey, eyes up here please."

He shrugged, smirking. "Right."

She rolled her eyes.

Despite popular belief, Lucy Heartfilia was not attracted nor infatuated with Natsu Dragneel. Maybe at one point she thought she did, but at the end of the day, they were just best friends. Besides, when she first step foot into this chaotic guild, her eyes never left Gray Fullbuster.

Sure, their first meeting wasn't the greatest, but over time Lucy had learned about him one small piece at a time. She also concluded that he was probably one of the sanest people in the guild, excluding his strange yet hilarious unconscious stripping habit.

It was because Natsu was her partner that her attraction for the ice mage was hidden so well. She always spent her time with Natsu. Sometimes she wished she hadn't, but Lucy felt comfortable around the pinkette. Gray gave her a bad case of stomach butterflies, and she dealt with it by casually flirting with him sometimes or just being a nervous wreck.

But sometimes she had small moments with him. Like right now, and it usually involved the both of them softly whispering in each other's ears and leaning close together. These were the moments she cherished because it was only between them.

"Say, you have any idea what's up with Erza?" he suddenly whispered, leaning close to her.

Lucy held in a smile.

The blonde took a brief glance over her shoulder to see the said Requip mage happily eating her strawberry cheesecake. Other than the fact that she was peculiarly glowing, the redhead was normal "No, not really. Why?" she whispered back.

"Well, I was pretty much stark naked when I walked by her, and she didn't even bat an eye."

Lucy widened her eyes. "No way."

"Do you see a black eye on my face?"

"No…"

He made a gesture.

"Huh," Lucy furrowed her brows. "She just came back from a mission, right?"

"Yeah, but what does that–" Gray stopped as it dawned on him. He gave her a look. "You don't think?"

"I mean…she is glowing."

They looked at each other.

"Jellal," they both agreed with a nod.

They suddenly froze when Erza's sharp gaze fell on them.

"Fuuuuuck," Gray hissed.

"Ssssshhhhiiit," Lucy said in the same tone.

They quickly turned their heads to face the bar. Lucy nervously sipped the rest of her milkshake while Gray rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"You think she heard?"

"I sincerely hope not," Lucy mumbled, paling at the thought.

"We were whispering. How the hell could she hear that?"

She leaned closer to Gray and said much softer. "She must be paranoid about Jellal or something. I don't know."

He leaned closer. "Is she walking over?"

Lucy took a quick peek over her shoulder. "No, thank god," she breathed. "But she's still staring."

"What are you two whispering about?" Mira chimed, appearing from nowhere with that sickly sweet smile of hers.

The two of them jumped and blushed, looking away from each other.

"Nothing!"

Lucy hid her smile behind her hand.

Yes, she definitely enjoyed these moments.
