Surge of Feelings

Summary: Lucy Ashley has liked Gray Surge for quite some time, but has never told him due to his obsession over a certain blue-haired girl. When he comes to her asking for help, what else can she do than agree? Before Edolas Arc. Edo GraLu

"Juviaaaaa-channnnn~ Go out with meeeee~" Lucy Ashley sighed. It was always like this in the morning. Gray Surge going after a girl that would probably never reciprocate his feelings. She didn't even know why he still tried.

"Lose some clothes, then we can talk." Juvia harshly responded before pulling off a request from the mission board and strutting out. *What a b-...* Lucy thought.

Gray literally plopped down beside Lucy at the bar and sighed dejectedly. She warned him, "If you're gonna act gloomy, then get you're $$ out of here now before I kick it out."

"Lucy~ I need your help... Why won't Juvia-chan go out with me?" Gray asked. The blonde inwardly flinched. Why was it always about Juvia? Juvia this, Juvia that, Juvia everything!

"Because you obsess over her, that's why." Lucy coldly replied. Wasn't her liking towards him obvious? She did her torture techniques on him less than everyone else. Wasn't that enough?

"Please, please, PLEASE. I really need you to help me." Gray pleaded, resorting to kneeling (as best as he could with the mountain of clothes he had on). People were starting to stare and Lucy didn't like it at all.

"Stop it, you idiot. I'll help you, BUT you listen to everything I say. No exceptions." Lucy agreed after taking a much need swig of alcohol. Gray eagerly accepted, not thinking about her condition that much. The blonde took another gulp of her drink before getting up out of her and dragging Gray out of the guild by one of his many collars. She grabbed a six month mission on the way out when Gray was busy struggling and waved it at Mirajane. The barmaid sent a holler of approval and Lucy continued we way out of the guild.

"What are you doing?!" He screeched still struggling.

"No questions!"

-Time Skip-

Lucy's Apartment

"Umm, why are we here?" First, Lucy had dragged him to a clothing store, then a salon (where he reluctantly accepted the new hairdo), and now they were here.

Lucy didn't answer his question and just threw some clothes at him. "Get out of those dirt ugly clothes and put those on. Only those clothes."

"But it's only one layer!" He protested. His head spun at the thought of only one layer of clothing. The blonde only glared.

"Now. No questions, remember?" Gray sighed before heading into the bathroom. It was hard for him to get all of his clothes off but one pair of boxers, but he managed. He looked at the clothes once more before grudgingly putting it on. It was surprisingly warm for just one layer of clothes.

"What's with this stuff?" He asked as he walked out of the bathroom. Lucy gaped at her handiwork. Gray looked HOT. The long, spiky natural looking hairdo that the barber did was absolutely wonderful. The clothes she picked for him emphasized his slim body that was hidden underneath the mountain of clothes he usually wore. The clothes he was currently wearing consisted of simple dark blue jeans, light blue high tops for shoes, and a comfortable fitting black v-neck. Lucy threw an electric blue leather jacket that zipped up. "This too. Perfect..."

"You think so?" Gray asked shyly, running a hand through his hair.

"The hell I do! I picked out everything. Why wouldn't it be perfect?" At his nervous laugh, she sighed. Lucy then threw his magic spear at him. He barely caught it before it him in the chest.

"My spear?" He asked, confused to why she threw it.

"We're going training, Surge."

"W-w-what?" He spluttered. He, Gray Surge, was going training with the merciless Lucy Ashley.

"Believe it. You and I have a six month mission across the the country. It's just some monster extermination so relax. It'll take two months at most with the both of us. The rest of the time I'll be teaching you how to act, fight, date, dress, and all that stuff. We're also going build your confidence, bravery, will power, mental ability," she glanced at his arms that barely had any muscles. "Physical ability, etc. I'm gonna turn you into a guy no girl would be able to resist."

*Too bad, I already can't resist him.* Lucy thought bitterly. She shook the thought away. *If he was happy, she was happy.*

*Tch, stop lying to yourself. You won't be happy when he's dating Juvia. Face it, you lo-*

*Shut up right there. It's just a small crush. I don't need myself fighting me. So go back into your little hole in my mind.*

*Fine, but I'll be back.*

"-cy. Lucy. You there?" Gray asked worriedly. She hadn't been responding for the last five minutes.

"Yeah, I'm good. There's a train leaving in ten minutes. We'll be going on that train to the place where we'll be spending the next six months. If you get on that train with me, there's no going back. No chickening out or anything." Lucy warned. She wasn't going to push him into becoming an entirely new person.

"Yes, I'll do whatever it takes for Juvia-chan to go out with me." Gray said defiantly. Lucy laughed bitterly in her head at the irony. She really was getting the short end of the stick this time wasn't she?

"Okay, then," they both walked towards the door out of the apartment. "Are you ready to become a new person? After this mission, when we get back, I can guarantee you won't be same."

Gray showed her the grin she learned to love. "Let's do this."

Author's Note

Wassup, party people? Yeah, yeah I know I should be updating my other stories but this idea just wouldn't get out of my head. So here I am, posting a new story with two other yet to be completed ones. I'm an awesome author, aren't I? So tell me how you liked the chapter. This will be a relatively short story with, at the most, five chapters. It's going to be mostly straight to the point. Also, sorry Juvia lovers. There's definitely going to be some Juvia bashing. I love her and all, but I need my fill of GraLu for now. Almost forgot, sorry for the short first chapter and I'll try and make the next one longer. I think that's it for now, so peace out!

Remember to review, Wolf is outta here.

P.S. The updates for this will not be in any particular order so expect an update every week. Since the ideas are still fresh I'll try and get this story done in a month or so. Don't count on anything though. :] Later for reals now.
