Prologue~
Gray entered the guild with his girlfriend, Juvia, at his side. "Yo! Stripper!" Natsu called across the guild.
Gray narrowed his eyes. "Don't call me that, Firebrain!"
"Oi, like I'll listen to you, Icehead!" Natsu shot back.
Juvia frowned. "Juvia does not want anyone to insult her Gray-sama!"
Natsu shrugged and beckoned for Gray to come over to him. "Yo, get over here!" He turned to Lucy who was sitting beside him, and whispered something in her ear.
"Okay!" Lucy said. She got up and occupied Juvia with chatting about her relationship with Gray. The pair had been dating now for almost one and a half years.
Gray walked over to Natsu. "Yeah what is it?"
Natsu looked about, then leaned in close and whispered, "You should really propose to Juvia soon, Gray!"
Gray looked shocked, but he could tell Natsu wasn't kidding - after all he even said Gray instead of Icebrain, Stripper or one of the many other nicknames he had come up with for the ice mage. "Don't be stupid Natsu," Gray said, returning the formalities of real names.
"What do you mean 'stupid'? You're the one who's being stupid! You've been dating for like thirty six months now and you haven't even given her a ring!"
Gray frowned. "Come on, she's probably not ready for me to ask her. Like, she'd probably faint and then avoid me forever afterwards if I tried now!"
Natsu shrugged at his ice make buddy. "It's now or never. You're old enough, you've been dating long enough, shouldn't you do something that would make her feel special? It's been the same-old-same-old for one and a half years, she's probably disappointed that you won't show any more fondness than that, bozo."
Gray gave his buddy a doubtful look. "You think?"
"Yup." Then before Gray could say anything more, he called out to the girls, "Hey Lucy, Juvia! Gray's agreed to treat us to lunch! Get over here!"
As they rushed over, Gray muttered, "What was that for?"
And Natsu replied, "We can't be looking suspicious, can we?"
Chapter 1
Natsu wiped his mouth then got up. "Be right back," he said, and headed to the bathroom.
Lucy smiled. "Hey yeah me too," and went to the female bathroom, leaving Gray with Juvia.
Gray gazed at Juvia. Should I ask now? I know those two are deliberately leaving us alone... I'll do it. Wait no, I haven't even got a ring! Well I can do without it for now... here goes...
He quickly looked down. "Hey Juvia, I was wondering if you would... that is... um... care to - er - um - care to marry me!" he blurted before he could change his mind. "Will you- Eh?" Gray looked in surprise at the empty seat across from him. He was alone at the table. Where had Juvia gone?
He turned and spotted Juvia coming back from the bathroom. "Gray-sama, sorry, I just went to the bathroom," she said giving him a smile.
"Uh, yeah." Darnit, I won't be able to gather up enough courage again! And besides, I sounded like a dimwit just saying it! Oh, I have an idea...
Gray gave the love of his life a small smile back, then asked, "Hey how about we get together for dinner tomorrow, at Sushihausu?"
"Juvia would love to!" the water mage replied ecstatically.
"I'm glad you do." Gray leaned over and gave Juvia a kiss. Thankfully, after one and a half years, Juvia had finally gotten used to her Gray-sama's kisses enough so she wouldn't faint.
Lucy and Natsu returned from the bathrooms and sat down - Natsu by Gray and Lucy by Juvia.
"So did you do it?" Natsu whispered to Gray.
"Of course not you dimwit! I don't even have a ring, what's with you?" Gray whispered back, feeling like smacking the dragon slayer.
Lucy giggled as she suspected what the two were talking about. Juvia, however, was rather oblivious about the whole thing.
