Author's notes: ok, this story is based off a really weird dream I had last week and I thought that I should write it seeing as there's not loads of greza fanfics out there. And with that here's the first chapter:

…She sat alone crying on the riverbank thinking about all her friends that she was forced to leave behind all because of Jellal. She was lost in her sad thoughts until she heard a noise behind her; she turned around to see the arrogant ice mage clad only in his boxers charges down the riverbank "alright! This time I will-" he cut off when he looked at her face. She looked back at him and stood up, there was no way he would see her weak side! "Oh it's you again, don't you learn to stop?" she questioned. But to her surprise he just continued to stare at her.

"Why are you always on your own?" he asked, why does he care she thought

"I feel uneasy around others" she felt happy with her response, surely that would shut him up now.

"Then why are you crying?" she gasped, this isn't the usual Gray she though and she noticed the dark blush on his face, he walked forward and sat down by her side, looking forward with his arms crossed.

"What? Do you give up already?" she asked as he huffed in response

"I'll fight whenever I want to!" she let a small smile form on her lips and she sat next to him.

They never spoke just sat there in a pleasant silence as words weren't needed. From that moment on she knew that he would always be there for, she would never be alone again thanks to him Gray Fullbuster; her first friend she made in fairy tale…

"Erza? Erza!" an irritated voice snapped her out of her thoughts; she blinked and looked around realising she was sitting in the guild hall with her fellow teammates

"What?" she asked bluntly her voice had an underlying tone of irritation towards the person that had disturbed her reminiscence of her first beloved memory of the guild. The trio of friends gulped and looked at each other "who called me?" she growled still annoyed

"It was Gray!" Natsu cried

Lucy nodded her head rapidly "yea, it was all Gray!"

Erza looked over and saw Gray face palm "betrayers" he mumbled only loud enough for him to hear but Erza heard too and had to hide her smirk and continue her 'angry Erza' façade.

"Well then Gray what was so important that you had to tell me right this second? Also if I were you choose your next words wisely" her voice was low and cold causing her three friends to gulp again.

Gray looked around with wide eyes "erm I was going to ask you if…if you wanted some cheesecake! Yea that was it!" Erza's face lit up immediately at the mention of her beloved cheesecake.

"Yes Gray I would love some" she said in a childish, she couldn't even remember why she was annoyed. Just as well I was though she thought with a smile it got me free cheesecake!

Her teammates sighed in relief and Gray quickly ran off to get the cake to appease the Titania. "Well we better head off, come on Natsu we have to find Happy!" Lucy said quickly and left just as fast as she spoke dragging Natsu off with her. I never even had a chance to say goodbye! They never even said goodbye to me! Erza angrily thought and was about to shot at the retreating mages for being so rude until a thud on the table made her turn around, her face lit up again as she saw an extra-large slice of cheesecake staring up at her and of course she immediately dug into it.

She heard her companion chuckle and she glared up at him raising her eyebrow but in her current state she looked far from being a threat. "it's nothing" he said still smiling while raising his hands in the air "it's just funny that the great Titania has a sweet tooth" Erza just shook her head at his comment

"Well everyone has a sweet tooth so it's not a surprise that I do too"

"Alright Erza it's not a surprise, happy now?"

She smiled at her victory "yes I am" she continued to eat but then spoke up "so what did you want to tell me before?"

Gray looked at her and sighed "damn looks like cheesecake doesn't distract you like it used to"

"Oh it still does…most of the time" she grinned at him and took another bite of her cake "so what was it?"

"Nothing important, I just wondered what you were thinking about, I mean you spaced out for a good five minutes and you were smiling the whole time, so what were you thinking about?" he turned it back around! I thought I was the one asking the questions! She felt too embarrassed to tell him what she was thinking about, but then this was only Gray she could trust him "I-I was just thinking about that time on the riverbank" she looked over to see Gray still smiling slightly but he had his eyes closed

"Yea those were good times, I really enjoyed being beaten up all the time"

"Your fault for always challenging me!" she retorted back

Gray opened his eyes and leaned forward "well just as well I did, it made us become friends didn't it" Erza opened her mouth to reply still smiling slightly but he had his eyes closed

"Yea those were good times, I really enjoyed being beaten up all the time"

"Your fault for always challenging me!" she retorted back

Gray opened his eyes and leaned forward "well just as well I did, it made us become friends didn't it" Erza opened her mouth to reply but couldn't think of a comeback

"Well then I guess kicking your butt everyday paid off" she smirked and he merely rolled his eyes before closing them again. Winning another verbal battle Erza dived back to her cheesecake, once she was finished she returned her gaze to Gray and realised how tired he looked. It surprised her that she hadn't noticed it before but her mind had been preoccupied, but she still felt guilty for not realising her friend's current state. Now that she looked at him with his eyes closed she saw the bags under his eyes and even a few scratches were scattered on his body.

"Are you ok?" she asked with a slight tone of concern in her voice "you look very tired"

He opened his eyes and looked lazily at her "I'm fine don't worry, just didn't sleep much last night."

"Why?" she asked curious to what he could have been doing nut in response Gray just chuckled at her. She gave him a serious look and he stopped laughing at looked at her again.

"If I told you id have to kill you" he answered with a playful smile on his face. What? She thought this is too strange, what could he have been doing last night that's so secretive? This isn't like Gray…

"Well I better get going, it's getting late and I really need some sleep" he stood up and smiled at her.

"bye Gray" she said as she watched him leave and noticed that there were lots of tiny cuts over his back as well as little specks of dirt on his shoulders. What is going on? Erza sighed she had to find out what her nakama was hiding…
