DISCLAIMER: I own nothing. This is a fanfic written for entertainment only.
A/N: I'm in the mood to write one-shots. (n.n); This is my first attempt in making drabbles. It looks fun so I tell myself to give it a try. XD Uhm, there'll be 15 themes with each theme consist of 50 words.
BETWEEN YOU AND I
Character/Pairing: Gray x Claire
01. Impression
Gray's first meeting with Claire was not something one would portray as a 'romantic encounter'. His grandfather scolded him; he snapped at the blonde and received a 'brilliant' remark from the blonde-haired woman about his training. Gray wondered if Claire thinks that the guy she just met is an idiot.
02. Eyes
One thing about Claire that intrigued Gray the most is her eyes. After knowing the blonde for 2 weeks, Gray noticed that Claire is really good in concealing her emotions to others but he can always tell the truth by simply looking into that beautiful aquamarine orbs of the blonde's.
03. Story
Gray's friendship with Claire started to bloom after a season ended. They always meet and chat in the inn. He learned a lot about her during their talk and soon realized that he started to share stories about his life to her; something that he never did with anyone else.
04. Smile
Lately Gray found himself annoyed whenever he saw the blonde smiled to other people – especially to the other bachelors in the town. He was confused of why he felt so and mused upon the alien feelings he started to feel towards the blonde-haired farmer after three seasons of knowing her.
05. Cherry Blossoms
As he watched as well as admired the blonde danced with the other girls during the Spring Goddess Festival, Gray concluded that the falling petals of the pink flowers that falls around her made her look like the Harvest Goddess herself; the cherry blossoms suits her figure and giggle perfectly.
06. Distraction
For once Gray didn't shout back at Saibara who scolded him for not paying attention to his work. It doesn't matter; he is fully aware that his mind and focus are elsewhere, thinking constantly about a particular blonde-haired farmer and not to the ore he is supposed to work on.
07. Reaction
Gray's calm acceptance to Mary's news about her wedding with Jack makes him pondered upon the change in himself. He congratulated both Mary and Jack and received a smirk from the blonde's older brother. Gray asked him if something's wrong but he only answered him with pats on his back.
08. Fight
Gray had forgotten the reason that lead to his first fight with Claire. It must've been his fault though for after the fight Jack came to see him; punching him straight on the face and told him that no one mess with his baby sister and gets away with it.
09. Weakness
He's not fond of sweets but eventually ate all the Rice Candy prepared by Claire during the time they spent together on Moon Viewing Day. Gray suffered from stomach-ache afterwards but being able to see Claire's blushing face as he complimented her cooking worth the pain he had to endure.
10. Denial
Jack and Kai teased him all day about his feelings to Claire. Gray told them they're sprouting nonsense but feel defeated when Jack pointed out he's blushing whenever Claire's name was mentioned and Kai's whistle to said statement makes him wanted to smack them with the hammer in his hand.
11. Thanksgiving
Gray's eyebrows narrowed as he stared at the burnt substance in his hand. He was confused at the result for he followed Ann's chocolate recipe to make it. He decided not to give the 'chocolate' to Claire for it'll only make her sick and blew-up his opportunity to impress her.
12. Another Step
Gray fumbled with the blue feather in his hand. His thoughts wandered elsewhere, not noticing the blonde approaching him from behind. As she tapped him on his shoulder, he yelped and turned around to face the other – his face heated when Claire asked him about said item in his hand.
13. Truth
It's been 3 years since Claire came to the town and Gray had finally got his grandfather to praise him on his work. He went to tell the news to the blonde and in the middle of the excitement blurted out that he loves her ever since he saw her.
14. One Moment
The moment when Claire say 'yes' to his proposal, Gray was stunned; he swore that the world's stopped moving as well. He had asked the blonde to slap him hard to make sure he's not dreaming and regret doing so for the cheek she slapped reddened until their wedding day.
15. Happiness
He watched as his young granddaughter ploughed the field with her father's hoe and the blonde approached him with a plate of Baked Corn in her hands. Gray smiled and thanked her; for the food, the blissful life and for the memories they've shared together from the beginning until now.
. THE END .
A/N: ...That was harder than I thought; to limit the words for each theme. It's really fun though. XD XD
