Hello, everyone! Thanks for taking the time to check out my story and I hope that you enjoy!

Inspiration: This plot has been on my list to write for a while now, and I think the prompts for GraLu Week work nicely with it. I never intended on this being along story, so it wasn't hard to make it only seven chapters. It may seem a little rushed at places, hopefully not too bad, though. The chapters are loosely based on the prompts. I want you all to leave a review telling me where I mentioned the prompt. If you do I'll give you a special shout-out in the next chapter!

Pairing: OCxLucy and GraLu. (You'll understand soon enough.)

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail!

Dedication: This story is dedicated to my amazing beta reader! I wouldn't be able to do what I do without you!

Please Review!

Myth

"What about this one?" Lucy hummed, pointing to a job on the request board. "We just have to recover a stolen necklace. It shouldn't be too hard."

Gray wrapped his arms around Lucy's waist and put his chin on her shoulder, making her giggle. "That looks perfect." He planted a kiss on the crook of her neck. "Go give it to Mira."

Lucy walked away, a bounce in her step. Gray smiled as he watched her head towards the bar. He then went to sit with Natsu, Gajeel, and Elfman.

"You're really into her, huh, Ice Prince?" Natsu asked.

"Yeah, I am." Gray looked back at Lucy again. Her face lit up and she laughed at something Mira was saying.

"You've only been together two months," Gajeel said, shaking his head. "You're really close, gihi."

"Love is manly!" Elfman called out.

"They say you only get one chance at love," Gray said, turning back to his friends. "Is it crazy of me to think that this is it?"

"That's just a myth," Natsu said, shaking his head. "There's always a chance you'll break up, and if you do then there's a good chance you'll find someone else, too."

"Wow, thanks, Natsu," Gray said, rolling his eyes. "Just because Lisanna left you after one week doesn't mean it'll happen to us, anyways." He received a glare.

"Gray!" Lucy sang, sitting down beside him. "Mira cleared the mission. We can go to my house, eat lunch real quick, then be there by three." She stood up and kissed his cheek. "I'll meet you at my place." She then left, leaving Gray smiling once again.

"Lunch, huh?" Gajeel asked. "Gihi."

Gray rolled his eyes and stood up. "I'll see you guys after we get back from the mission, tomorrow night at the latest."

"Try not to have too much fun before you go!" Natsu called.

Gray rolled his eyes, not letting the cat-calls get to him. He was by far used to it.

"How much longer do you think until we get there?" Lucy asked, running her finger along his chest and abs. She was sitting beside him with her legs draped over his.

"Probably another twenty minutes," Gray said, smiling down at his girlfriend. "You're so beautiful." He wove his fingers into her hair.

Lucy blushed and sat up so she was in his lap. She put her forehead against his. "You say that way too often," she laughed.

"No, I don't say it enough," Gray argued.

In seconds they were kissing. They were groping, biting, and sucking anywhere they could, laughing and giggling every so often. Gray had lost his shirt long ago, and soon Lucy lost hers, too. Her bra soon followed, and she moaned at the feeling of their bare skin against each other.

The loud siren went off, signaling that the train had arrived at their destination. Gray and Lucy both groaned in annoyance and quickly changed. Lucy put the small backpack they shared on and they stepped off the train, their hands in each other's back pockets.

After a short walk, they met with their client. The job was just as simple as the flier let on. A necklace was stolen and they had to find it. It was suspected that the necklace was taken and hidden as a prank, the location most likely being one of the many caves and hidden in the forests south of town.

After only twenty minutes of searching, with Loke helping, the three found the cave. They could see a shimmer a few feet in. Getting closer, they saw that it was in fact the necklace they were sent to find.

"I'll go grab it," Gray announced. "It may be a trap, and if it is I want you to stay where it's safe, Luce."

"Wait," Loke said, holding his arm out. "Let me come with you then."

The two boys went forward. They were a step outside the cave, looking around the inside. It looked safe to them, so they stepped forward.

Lucy was watching from a few feet back. Looking at the cave, she noticed that it looked a little too clean. The dirt and leaves looked as if someone placed them there. Realizing it was in fact a trap, she called out to them. "Wait!"

She didn't yell in time. Loke and Gray stepped down on the leaves. Instantly, there was an explosion. Loke grabbed Gray and dove as far away from the cave as he could, but he wasn't fast enough. Flames and smoke surrounded them. Loke disappeared in a flash back to the Spirit World.

Lucy watched in horror. She brought her hands up, trying to keep the smoke out of her face. When it all cleared, the only thing there was Gray's tattered shirt, which he managed to keep on the whole mission. Tears poured down her cheeks as sobs left her lips.

"Gray!"
