Lucy
Lucy looked at Gray with adoration before she realized what she was doing. She blinked, shook her head and looked down at the table, trying to hide her blush. For some reason, she found herself growing more and more attracted to the ice wizard and the fact that he kept stripping and revealing his oh-so-perfect abs was making her feel increasingly uncomfortable and flushed.
Lucy sighed, if anyone on her team found out how she was feeling – she didn't even want to think about it. It would be mortifying. She could only imagine how much she would get teased by Natsu and Happy with his constant 'he liiiiiiiikes her' and 'she liiiiiikes him,' how weirdly overprotective Erza would be and she didn't even know what Wendy would do, Carla would definitely look down on her.
She looked up and saw that Gray was sitting in a very attractive position. He was leaning back into the seat, his was arm sitting on the edge of the seat, he was staring into the distance. He looked like a model. Lucy took mental pictures and wiped away the drool before anyone noticed.
"Do I have something on my face?" Gray suddenly asked her.
Lucy spluttered, taken off guard because she didn't know what to say. There was nothing but perfection on his face. She was becoming Juvia. There was something so wrong with her.
"Lucy? Are you okay?" Gray asked raising his eyebrow.
"Ah – yeah, okay. I'm good. Yep. No. Nothing on your face," Lucy said, blushing and stammering.
"Really? You don't seem okay," Gray said.
She suddenly felt an arm around her shoulders and a drunken Cana whispering loudly in her ear, "Ah, go on Lucy, touch his abs, you know you've been drooling over them all day."
Lucy blushed really hard at that and inched out of Cana's grip. "I have not!" She protested. Oh she had, she totally had.
"You can touch my abs if you want, Lucy," Gray said with a smug smile.
Lucy's feelings of awkwardness vanished when he heard that arrogant tone in his voice. Damn, he just ruined his image. She rolled her eyes and made a disgusted scoff and then stood up walking out of the bar.
She couldn't believe that she thought he was attractive!
Gray
It wasn't like Lucy was being obvious, it was just that Juvia's stalking had left Gray with the ability to pick up on a few things. Man, he was so glad that Juvia had gotten over him. And despite how annoyed he was that it was Lyon that had finally caught her eye – seriously, Lyon? What the hell? – he was so happy that she wasn't being all clingy anymore. And, he could hang around Lucy without worrying about her being drowned.
And yeah, it might be pathetic, but he'd been trying to put himself in situations where he'd look good and Lucy could ogle him. He was using all of the posing he's learned from his modeling for Sorcerer Weekly. It was pathetic.
But those big brown eyes, gazing at him with that longing that was filled with nothing at all creepy or weird (unlike Juvia), made his heart skip a beat. Gray had always thought she was sex on legs, but Lucy becoming a constant in his mind now.
When she sounded disgusted at his arrogance – he only said it because he freaked out, but he really wanted her to do it – and walked out, his eyes followed the lines of her body, the swaying of her hips and he shifted in his seat, suddenly feeling hot. He looked at Cana who was grinning at him, with that drunk, knowing grin. He felt a flush creep over his cheeks.
"Ah man, you're such a pussy," She laughed, taking a swig of out of her barrel of booze. "You want her as bad as she wants you."
The flush on Gray's cheeks deepened. Did she want him? Just because she was all cute and awkward around him it didn't mean anything. Right?
Cana laughed, "Go find her, you moron. I don't have time to deal with little boys like you."
"You came and sat here!" Gray retorted. "I didn't ask for your help."
"Ah, whatever," Cana waved her arms. "HEY EVERYONE! GRAY LOVES – "
Gray launched himself across the table and smothered Cana's mouth with his hand. This chick was freaking crazy.
"Shut up!" He hissed, ignoring the people who were looking at him, wondering what the hell was going on.
Cana just smiled more, winked and licked his hand until he let her go. He pulled his hand back in disgust and went to wipe it on his pants. When his hand connected with skin, he looked down and saw that he was naked again.
"Ah, shit!" He yelled.
Cana threw her head back and laughed at him again, before taking another huge swing from her barrel.
Lucy
The problem with being attracted to Gray was his damn stripping habit. And Natsu. And Loke.
Lucy groaned. What the hell was wrong with all her friends, the ones that were guys? Seriously. Natsu was just a complete moron. Loke was way, way to overprotective and surprisingly intuitive, which meant he was extremely annoying and prone to interrupt her gazing at Gray's body. And Gray. He just stripped to much. Lucy had seen more than she wanted to see of him, but she just wanted to see more.
She rolled over in her bed and squeezed her eyes tight, pulling the covers over her head. Maybe if she never got out of bed, everything would just go back to normal, to before she thought Gray was the hottest thing on the planet.
"Hey Luce, whatcha looking so weird about?" Natsu voice came from above me. Lucy screamed and threw her blanket over him.
"God, Natsu!" She yelped. "What the hell are you doing in my apartment?"
"Jeez, Lucy, you don't have to be so mean," Happy said.
"Yeah, we just wanted some food," Natsu said. "Come on, make us something!"
Lucy narrowed her eyes at the blue cat and the dragon slayer before…
"LUCY KICK!"
They went flying back tumbling into the wall, with Natsu landing upside down on his head.
"What the hell was that for?" Natsu complained, rubbing the lump on his head.
"Yeah Lucy, you're way to cruel to be a girl!" Happy cried.
"Don't tell girls they look weird! And I'm not cruel! You're the ones that keep breaking into my apartment!" Lucy growled.
"So whatever," Natsu said, totally ignoring Lucy. "Do you have any food? I'm starving!"
"Get out!" Lucy screamed, pointing to the door.
"I don't know what your problem is. Why are you telling us to get out when Gray's here too?" Natsu asked, confused and hurt.
Lucy froze, Gray was here? "Gray's not here, now leave!"
Natsu tapped his nose, "Duh, of course he is. I can smell him. Where are ya, ice princess? Are you being a pervert and spying on Lucy?" Natsu shouted.
"What did you call me!?" Gray came tumbling out of the bathroom. Naked.
Lucy screamed. Gray looked at her and went bright red, realizing that he'd been caught. He opened his mouth to speak but Lucy cut him off.
"Oh, you better have a damn good explanation for this, Gray. BUT PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!"
Gray looked down, and so did Lucy, who started drooling. "Ah shit!" Gray yelled. "Lucy, can I borrow your underwear?"
"W-what!? No!" Lucy spluttered.
Natsu punched Gray's jaw and he and his naked body went flying. Straight into Lucy, who found herself unable to move. They landed in a very compromising position. Lucy underneath Gray with one leg wrapped around his naked waist, and Gray, naked on top of her, his hand on her breast.
There was silence. Seconds ticked by as they stared at each other and their faces got progressively redder and heart rates raced faster and faster. Natsu pulled Gray off of Lucy.
"Hey you pervert! No one touches Lucy like that!" Natsu yelled.
For once, Gray had no response.
