The Second Christmas
In this fanfic the GMG has not happened yet and they don't know anything about it. Hell, let's not confuse this: GMG does not exist in this fan fiction. ;)
I sat at the guild in a deep thought, it was going to be my second Christmas here at Fairy Tail. Second time, second year. I wondered how the years passed so quickly, it seems like it was yesterday that I joined the guild with Natsu. That we faced so many difficulties in a breeze. I sighed, drinking my strawberry milkshake, so much has changed since then, like Lisanna's back and Wendy's in our guild, Gajeel and Juvia also joined oh and the fact that this should be my 7th year here but it's my second due to that well-known incident. I'm supposed to be… 24 years old? More like 18.
"Hey Lu-chan?" Levy asked sitting beside me on the other barstool.
"Yeah Levy-chan?" I responded giving full attention to my blue haired friend.
"I was wondering if you've bought everyone presents." She asked strangely exaggerating on the 'everyone.'
"Yep, why?" Levy observed me for a few minutes, as I thought how awkward this was becoming.
"Really? Everyone?" She repeated, once again emphasizing the 'everyone.' I shook my head telling her I didn't understand what she meant. Levy sighed placing her hands on her knees and leaning forward. "As in Natsu, Gray, Loke?" Tilting my head, I was puzzled as to what Levy's point was. Let's see.
They're guys. Oh well done Lucy for stating the obvious.
They're Fairy Tail Mages.
My companions.
Good looking.
Fit.
Protective.
Oh.
"Have you figured it out yet?" Levy asked as I bit my lip.
"Well kind of, I mean they're cute? What has that got to do with Christmas?"
"Wow Lu-chan, I can't believe you can be dense as Natsu! I know! Take me and Gajeel for example!" She said in a hushed voice. What about them? Other than the fact that they're a couple and that they're in…
"I get it now! You think I'm in love with Gray. Natsu or Loke!" I exclaimed banging my clenched fist into my right palm.
"Well done Lu-chan, you're a genius. So have you bought that special person a special present?" Levy asked as I blushed slightly.
"L-Levy- chan you know I couldn't get them a unique present because not only would it look suspicious that I gave someone else a better gift, but it would be plainly obvious that I like him." I explained looking at my fingertips, funny my mind seemed to be interested in my hands all of a sudden.
"Lu-chan~ Fine! I get it!" Levy huffed rolling her eyes playfully. Oh Levy-chan if only you knew who it-
"Oh by the way I've kind of worked out who it is." Levy suddenly said interrupting my train of thoughts. I had become alarmed at her words s my eyes widened letting her cheeky smirk get bigger.
"N-No you haven't." I stuttered putting my drink down on the table.
"We'll see. The thing is Lu-chan, best friends are supposed to help best friends." Levy stated walking off and to Gajeel with a victorious look. My smile dropped, well it dropped ages ago. Levy was most definitely not a matchmaker but she can be so clever and sneaky sometimes it's unbelievable!
"Well, well, well what a surprising turn of events, right Lucy?" MiraJane Strauss said from behind as I froze hoping I didn't just hear her voice! Robotically, I turned around to be facing the demon herself smiling so innocently!
"W-What do you mean M-Mira?" I stammered, mentally cursing my voice.
"Oh you know exactly what I mean Lucy. I guess I should help Levy too right?" Mira answered as I saw a flash of evil flicker in her bright blue eyes. My mouth hung open as I didn't know what to say. Then, in perfect timing, Natsu and Gray interrupted us!
"Hey Luce, tell Ice block here I defeated the monster on the last mission!" Natsu exclaimed tugging my left arm.
"No, tell him Lucy, that it was me who defeated that huge thing!" Gray countered tugging my right arm. Bearing in mind that these two were incredibly strong mages and both were pulling my arms. It felt like my arms were about to rip!
"GUYS SHUT UP!" I yelled as they looked at me confused and noticed the fury bursting out, making a very intelligent decision both guys scooted into the corner complaining about how I was finally getting 'too old' for the guild! "I heard that, and for your information I just turned into an adult and you guys are only a year older!" I stomped out of the guild, yes I was annoyed at them but it wasn't real annoyance, I just needed something to let me walk out.
Walking with Plue (I called him) I started to rant on about how I most definitely couldn't let the guy I like know that I like him. It would destroy the team, our friendship, everything will change, and what if we break up only a few days later or I get rejected, we could never go back as being just 'friends.' Love's freaking horrible! I got to my apartment and immediately fell on to my bed. Glancing at the window I noticed it was snowing, snow… Ice… I never really saw the beauty of it before, not until Fairy Tail anyway, but now I can tell how delicate but dangerous it really is. Sighing frustrated I smashed my head into my pillow.
"Why do I have to like him?!" I shouted into it annoyed.
"Ooh, someone's angry!" I heard a familiar voice, my face turned bright red as I instantly looked up to see Gray standing there smirking. Oh Sugar!
"I- Um… You didn't…?" I stuttered not knowing what to say and how to say it.
"What's wrong with you then? Have you got a fever or something? Or are you just annoyed at me and Natsu?" He asked as I mentally sighed, looks like he didn't hear.
All right, yes.
I might have a small crush on Gray.
Oh who am I kidding? I love the idiot!
"Lucy…?" The ice mage called as I looked up tucking strand of my hair behind my ear.
"Sorry, I just… I'm tired…?" I reasoned, making it sound like a question.
"Sure…" He replied not buying it. Great! The raven haired male sat himself down on the couch, half naked as usual!
"Gray! Your clothes…" I told him as he looked down at himself rolling his eyes.
"What? It's not something new, you're pretty much used to seeing my amazing six pack all the time!" He teased as I blushed. Today is going so well isn't it?!
"Shut up Gray and put some clothes on!" I shouted flustered, he shook his head knowingly.
"I might have left them at the guild…"
"In the top right cupboard, and before you ask why I have them, it might be because of team Natsu's regular sleepovers at MY APARTMENT!" I yelled annoyed as he put on his clothes which insisted of a white short sleeved button down shirt with black pants, with the usual chain.
"So… Have you got your Christmas presents ready?" He asked following me into the kitchen as I set the kettle on.
"Why are you here Gray?"
"Hey, don't change the subject!"
"Yes I have, you?" I asked looking at him, suddenly his onyx eyes gleamed with excitement and happiness which surprised me.
"Yeah, I have actually… You're going to love yours." He stated making me wonder what on earthland he got me. What if it's a ring?! Oh my- wait… That's a total no.
"Well, actually I haven't got you yours yet." I told him, lying.
"Wait what? You do know Christmas is tomorrow right?" Gray said worried, he looks so cute when he worries like that.
"Yeah, I know. What? Maybe I don't want to give you one?" Replying, I stirred my coffee then started drinking it.
"Yeah right Lucy, I'm pretty damn sure you wouldn't dare not get me a present." I sat down on the couch with a smile on my face as he sat next to me still concerned.
"Who knows Gray, maybe you did something to upset me…"
"I did not… Did I? No pretty sure not… Did I do anything to upset you then?" He muttered eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"Who knows…?" I was getting up when his arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me down on to his lap, my face was a darker than Erza's hair, and that's saying something! "G-Gray? Wh-What are you doing?" He brought his face near my ear, making me blush even more.
"Lucy Heartfilia, tell me truthfully, did you get me a present?" He whispered, his minty breath hitting my ear and sending shivers down my spine.
"I… Um… N-" was about to say when he suddenly pulled me closer.
"You were saying?" …I muttered something under my breath, but by using his seductive charm he made me say it again but louder.
"I've got you an amazing present…" I could feel a smile form on his lips.
"Will I like it?" Gray asked as I shrugged, how am I supposed to know? "Whatever, I don't care what you give me, because it would still be special." He answered himself softly allowing my heart to skip a beat! Unfortunately, Gray let me go, letting this empty feeling come in, lonely yet again.
"Oh yeah, the guild's party starts at 6, make sure you're there!" The raven haired mage told me as he exited the apartment through the window, typical. I found myself grinning like an idiot, I can't wait to give him my present, and I most definitely can't wait to go to the party!

Jack: Oh yeah nothing about Christmas just a simple 'what up.'
Ritzy: Pretty damn much…
