Just a little funny story I thought up. Not sure if it'l be Gruvia or Grayza ( is that there ship name?) But just enjoy nonetheless.

Gray knew this was a stupid plan while he was on his way to Fairy Hills, but his backup plan was pretending to be gay, so he was really hoping Erza could just swallow her pride and help him. He was really not looking forward too his plan B. He could imagine already what the backlash would be from pretending to come out of the closet.

"Liking men is manly too!" Elfman would state.

"Ha! I knew Gray was a faggot!" Natsu would jeer.

"*Hic* Gray's gay? How drunk am I?" Cana would slur.

"But Gemini said you were a little interested in me!" Lucy would demand, severely confused. Nope, Gray was not coming out if Erza disagreed, he'd need to find another way to make Juvia back off. Not only that, but Gray was worried in general. Not about his backup plan, but if Erza could help him. It wasn't like anyone else could help him. Natsu would kill him if he asked Lucy, and she was too goodhearted to agree anyway (not that Erza wasn't, but Lucy redefined bubbly blonde). Gajeel would castrate him if he asked Levy, and Jet and Droy would hound him to no end. He was too afraid of Mira to ask Lisanna, and Laki's torture fetish creeped him out. Kinana wasn't his type, and Wendy was too young for it too make sense. Gray sighed as he entered the dorms, and quietly walked up the stairs toward Erza's room. He knew where it was, she used to teach Natsu and him in there. He knocked on the door and waited quietly.

"Who is it?" Erza asked from inside. Gray sighed.

"It's me, Erza" He replied. He waited for a moment, and the redhead opened the door with a smile.

"Good morning Gray" She said. "What can I do or you?"

"Can I talk to you?" He replied, watching her carefully, then checking down both the halls. "In private?" Erza made a confused face, and let him into her room. He dodged tripping over a stray sword and sat down in a chair.

"Sorry about the mess." Erza said. "I was rearranging my armory." Gray waved her off absentmindedly. She sat down on the edge of her bed and there was a silence between them. "What is it you needed to talk about?" Gray sighed.

"Before I begin, promise me you'll consider what I'm about to say. It's nothing as crazy as your probably imagining.." Erza made a face, but nodded quietly. "I know this is going to sound absolutely insane, but..."

"You said it wasn't"

"Not anything like I know you'd imagine, though" More silence, and Gray took a deep breath, preparing himself to be castrated. "I... I need you too pretend too be my girlfriend." The statement hung in the air , creating an awkward silence. Gray could see a pinkish tint to her cheeks.

"Wha...what?" She managed. "Gray, that's absolutely crazy. Why... are you feeling okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Then why would you ask me that?" Gray sat back in his chair and groaned. He might as well tell her.

"It's because of Juvia" He finally said, sighing and resting his head in his palm.

"Juvia?" She asked, confused.

"Juvia" He confirmed. "This thing she's go for me... it's gotten out of hand, too the point where I hate seeing her. I wouldn't have a problem with her if she wasn't so clingy and got mad when I speak to other girls. People say it's cute, but it isn't, it's annoying." Gray turned back to her to gauge her reaction, but she was as straight faced as always.

"Gray..." She began.

"I know it sounds rude, but I've tried everything." He interrupted, meeting her steely gaze. "I've told her I'm not interested, but she just ignores me and says I'm playing hard to get. I'm at wits end, Erza. I really need your help. Please, consider this" Erza was silent, before she sighed.

"Gray, believe me, I want to help you, but this is beyond what I'm willing to do" Gray sighed.

"I knew it was a long shot. Thanks anyway, Erza." He got up to leave, and turned to face her.

"Just so you know, Erza, plan B is being gay" Her face flickered slightly in amusement, but didn't say anything. Gray sighed, and he left the dorms.

Erza took a minute to process what had just happened. Gray wanted her to pretend to be his girlfriend to scare Juvia off. Erza knew Juvia was really clingy, but for Gray to want something this drastic...

Erza would judge Gray's desperation herself.

She was shocked she was even considering it, but if Gray was so far gone against this that he was trying to get a false girlfriend... it must've been bad. Erza walked down the hallway towards Juvia's room, and knocked, waiting patiently. The door creaked open slightly, and the bluenettes face appeared.

"Erza-san?" She asked, slightly confused. "Can I help you?"

"Can I come in, Juvia? I need to ask you something" Juvia shifted slightly, and Erza was allowed in, and gaped.

"Oh my Mavis..." Erza hissed. "You have some... interesting decor Juvia."

"Juvia has a few things related to Gray-sama here and there" Erza wished Juvia was partially blind, because literally everything in the room had Gray written all over it. The wallpaper was his face, as with the bed sheets,and there was a statue of him in the corner of the room. Her carpet had his face as the centerpiece, and her roof had a shirtless photo of him plastered too it. Erza tried not too feel creeped out.

"It's...nice" Erza managed.

"What is it that Erza-san needed?" Erza tried not to jump at her question.

"Um.. what?"

"Erza-san said she needed something?" Erza paled, laughing awkwardly.

"Uh, don't mention it, it's nothing I'll just be going now." Erza excused herself quite quickly, no trying to sprint out of her room.

Maybe Gray's not crazy...Mavis what am I saying?!

Gray sighed as he watched Juvia enter the guild and immediately lock him as her target. He tried to evade her, but that was impossible, Juvia was like a bloodhound when it came to him.

"Gray-sama! I found you!" She giggled as she grabbed his shoulders. Gray sighed.

"Oh noooooo, you got me" Gray murmured, trying to sound impatient. Obviously Juvia didn't take the hint.

"Juvia would like to know if Gray-sama would like to have dinner with her?" Gray almost moaned outwardly, but silenced it. He didn't want to be rude.

"I'd love to Juvia, but I'm really busy..."

"Juvia can wait then!"

"No, Juvia you don't understand..." Gray didn't know what he could do other than initiate plan B.

"What doesn't Juvia understand?" She asked curiously. Gray sighed. Might as well...

"Juvia, the reason I can't go to dinner with you is because I'm..."

"Gray, there you are!" Gray winced at the interruption, and he turned to find Erza approaching him. Shit, now she's going to tell me how messed up I am. This day is going so well... "Erza, look, before you say anything..." He was stopped in the strangest way. He realized immediately Erza wasn't in her armor, she was in her normal clothes, that was strange. She was also smiling brightly, which confused him even farther. That, however, wasn't the reason he was stopped.

Erza had walked up to him, leaned up, and planted a kiss on his lips.

He didn't know what to do. What could he do? Erza wasn't making any attempt to actually give him a good kiss, it was as if...

As if she was showing off.

Gray almost jumped into the air happily. She was helping him! Plan B could suck it. Erza broke away from him and Gray realized he could open his eyes. As he did so, he realize how close Erza still was too him.

"You forgot to kiss me goodbye" She whispered, the fake lust in her eyes seeming so real.

Gray had forgotten what it was like to shiver.

Aye, that was fun too write. Hope you enjoyed, leave a review!
