Grayza Week Day One: Koi no Yokan. So happy that this week is here. Enjoy everyone!
Gray stared at the red-headed girl angrily. She was new to the school, had arrived barely a week ago and had already made his life impossible. She seemed to think she was all that constantly telling the boys and girls of Fairy High, what to do, when to do it and in general how to live their lives. And she had no right to do so.
Just now she had stopped him from talking to the pretty bluenette who otherwise hung over him and listened to his every word. He had thought for sure that he'd be able to ask her out on a date and prove to that idiot Natsu that girls were lining up to be with him.
This girl stopped all of it convincing the blue-haired girl, whose name he couldn't even remember, that he wasn't worth it and was just going to hurt her. Excuse her, Gray was so worth it and he couldn't hurt anyone if he tried. Then, as if she were rubbing salt in his wound, the red head smirked at him smugly as his group of friends laughed at his misery.
His fury grew to white hot rage and he grasped her arm, pulling her away from the crowded area, down to the lakeside that was next to Fairy High. She panicked demanding to be released and questioning what he was going to do to her. he stopped and let go of her arm, opening his mouth to yell at her, but halted abruptly.
There were tears in her eyes and she looked nearly fearful. Gray backed up a little, looked to the side and sighed. "Look.." He got cut off by a smack that nearly sent him tumbling to the ground.
"Wh-you hit me?!" He exclaimed in surprise.
She sneered at him, "Don't look so shocked. What else was I supposed to do after you dragged me out here like some creep?"
"Creep!" He shot up to his feet. "Listen, whoever you are, I'm no creep! And..."
"Erza," she interrupted. "I am Erza Scarlet and you are a creep."
"No, I'm Gray! And stop calling me a creep!'
"What else should I call you after the way you acted towards that poor girl?"
Gray blinked, bemused, "Who?"
"Juvia! The girl you were asking out!"
"Oh, so that was her name." Gray muttered softly, but unfortunately for him Erza overheard.
"You didn't even know her name?! You really are a creep."
"No I'm not!" He protested. "And what's wrong with what I was doing anyway. She liked me, I was willing to try going out with her. Win-win situation."
"She doesn't like you moron, she thinks she's in love with you. And what's wrong is that I knew you'd just end up breaking up with her for some unreasonable reason and in the process break her heart!"
Gray faltered in his argument. "What."
Erza raised an eyebrow waiting for him to continue but all Gray was capable of saying was a single word. "What."
She rolled her eyes and nodded at him. "Huh. I'm a jerk."
Erza smiled genuinely at that. "Yes, you are."
He stared at her stunned before bursting out into laughter. She looked almost scared when he did, a series of emotions running across her face. "I suppose you're crazy as well?" She asked fear creeping back in.
Gray supposed it was natural, she was alone at the lakeside with a crazy guy who was also a jerk. He frowned for a second, before the absurdity of the situation hit him.
"She's in love with me?"
Erza looked confused. "Who?"
"That girl...uh Jydia!"
"You mean Juvia?" Gray nodded in reply.
"Um yes. She's constantly stalking you and even has a tiny voodoo doll of you. It's kind of cute. Huh, maybe I should have let you two go out together, she'd be the cure to your craziness and I doubt she'd have let you break up with her so easily." Erza mused, regret seeping into her voice clearly.
Gray gulped. "A voodoo doll? M-magic?!"
Erza looked at him obviously sensing his fear and failed to keep her poker face. "No, I'm just kidding. She just moons over you all the time, none of that weird stuff. But your-your face!" She was in hysterics.
Gray's jaw dropped open in disbelief, "You said all that just to scare me!"
"Maybe next time, you'll think before mindlessly asking a girl out, no?" Erza patted his shoulder before she walked away, the clear victor in their fight.
Not only had this girl ruined his plans, but she had also pranked him to teach him a lesson. Just who was this girl? Summoning up the last scraps of his courage he yelled after her retreating back.
"I was asking her out because there's a mandatory dance at Fairy High next week. But I won't now."
"Good." She shouted back.
"So, will you go with me instead?"
She froze and spun around. "I thought I told you to think first before you asked a girl out from now on."
"I did think."
She took a deep breath. "I believe I'm too busy catching up with the syllabus next week to go to a party. Even one hosted by the school."
"It's mandatory, attendance is required. We get graded on our dancing." Gray countered smoothly.
"So this date, is more like requiring a dance partner? She clarified. Gray shrugged in response. "Fine," she agreed. "Just for the dancing, I'll go with you. But other than that, I'm not interested."
She started to walk away again before looking back. "I am obligated to warn you however, I am often referred to as the Dance Demon. Be careful." Gray smirked. Erza could say she wasn't interested all she liked, Gray just knew that he was going to make her his girlfriend that night.
He had a feeling they would be great together.
Maybe not first sight, but after the first argument Gray definitely feels something and is ready to do something about it too. Hope I got the prompt right. Let me know what you all think and I'll see you tomorrow.
