It's been a long time. I thought I'd leave this site for good this time. I barely find time to write and I usually delete whatever I start writing due to lack of inspiration or time... or both. So... I decided to start this 'what if' scenario and see where it would go. I hope you all enjoy this first, and probably, only chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy tail.


Title: Keep me Strong

Chapter: Terrible Start

Pairing(s): Gray x Lucy


Attention!

If you came here for Gajeel x Levy, please read this!

Gajeel x Levy will happen and other pairings may occur as the story proceeds in case I continue this.


Fairy tail's members had many particularities, but they also shared a few similarities. For instance, none of them took defeat lightly. The anguish of losing, of being bested when releasing their best, they all went through that at some point in their journey.

The grand magic games had just started and brought devastating news with them. Gray lost horribly to Raven Tail's Nullpudding. He was in a terrible mood and avoided contact with his teammates. How ridiculous for him to lose like that in the first round, his guild needed him badly. Gray needed that victory and so did Fairy tail.

But he failed…

He walked past Lucy ashamed of his performance. "It's only the first round." Said the blonde trying to cheer her friend. The girl walked up to the arena ready to have her own fight. She tried to banish the image of Gray's reaction from her mind and focus on the fight.


By evening, Gray walked alone at Crocus' well-lighted streets, staring at the horizon not sure where to go. His mood took another turn for the worse when he heard about Lucy's defeat. When he thought his day couldn't get any worse, Fairy tail, decided to gather at a bar for some kind of post-defeat celebration.

He decided not to attend the meeting for now and headed back to the Honey Bone hotel. The ice maker distractedly walked to his room, his mind doing loops around his loss as he walked. He bumped into another person who was equally distracted and stopped concerned about the sudden contact.

"…Sorry." He spoke in a low tone, his eyes glued to the ground. He looked up to see Lucy staring back at him. She held a worried expression, which caused him to hesitate for a moment. "Lucy?"

Lucy smiled weakly at her friend, but her eyes showed deep sorrow. She knew she wasn't making it difficult for Gray to read her, but the boy had a hard time hiding his own emotions as well.

Unsure of what to say next, Lucy struggled to find something useful in the depths of her mind, she would soon realize the silence went better in situations like that. "What a terrible start." She began regretting her words as soon as they left her lips.

Gray's eyes revealed surprise with the girl's choice of subject. "A terrible start indeed."

"I'm sorry… I didn't mean to…"

"Don't bother apologizing. It's…" Gray paused letting a sigh escape without his consent. He closed his eyes and ran a hand through his hair. "It's ok."

They stood at the corridor avoiding eye contact for a while. Both felt the need to say something, both refused to speak first, at least until the tension became so present it was almost palpable.

Lucy's eyes trembled, as she witnessed her teammate's inability to overcome the overwhelming defeat they suffered. She thought it would do her good to avoid the talking about defeat related affairs for the rest of the day. She also agreed that her company wouldn't be much of an entertainment for anyone.

However, seeing Gray succumb to the lowest of his self-confidence made her feel some kind of sympathy. She was also desperate to redeem herself; she needed the comfort she didn't think she could provide.

Looking at her side, she pondered on her options and wondered if staying by her friend's side would be any worse than sulking by herself at her room. She chose the first and opened her mouth to speak, only to be interrupted when she was about to.

"Lucy…"

Gray's voice was still devoid of any sign of hope. "Would you keep me company for a bit?" He asked making the girl blush slightly. She knew Gray found her attractive, which caused certain uneasiness to mix with a bit of unexpected joy taking place inside her. Lucy shook her head trying to dispel the malicious thoughts forming in her head.

The ice mage took her gesture as a denial for his question and for once, his already saddened countenance was replaced by a look of pure disappointment. "I'm sorry I asked." He replied getting ready to leave only to be stopped by a tug in his shirt.

The blonde mage hurried to ease his mind as she tried to clear the misunderstanding. "It's ok… I didn't mean it like that." Lucy spoke behind his back thanking the heavens he couldn't see her face.

They agreed to head to their own rooms to take a shower and meet back at the hotel lobby later on. Both mages hesitantly departed leaving an awkward atmosphere behind them. Lucy waved her hand smiling at her friend who returned her kindness with a smile of his own.

At her room, Lucy turned on the water discarding her clothes for a highly anticipated shower. She avoided thinking about her fight and was surprised to realize another insistent thought circling around her head.

Lucy found herself concerned about what she would wear for her meeting with Gray. She took her index finger to her lower lip wondering why she suddenly felt nervous about it. She laughed trying to convince herself it was just female vanity to look beautiful at all times.

In the end, she picked casual clothes and headed back to the lobby. She was worried about her punctuality. "I hope I'm not late." The celestial spirit mage spoke to herself as she left the room.

"You're not."

Lucy squealed alarmed with the person standing beside her door. "Gray!" She exclaimed in a complaining manner. "You scared me."

Gray scratched the bridge of his nose. "Sorry. I thought it would be ok for me to come pick you up." He failed to disguise his embarrassment as the words left his mouth.

"Huh?" Lucy answered dealing with her share of embarrassment. "You didn't have to." Lucy noticed the regret in her companion's face and once again felt the need to speak.

"Don't get me wrong…" She started. "It's not that I dislike it." She held her left elbow with her right hand and played with her skirt using her free hand. "I'm just not used to it." Lucy caught a glimpse of joy growing dangerously inside her.

Gray smiled realizing he did not need to rethink his decision. "I can't just let a cute girl like you go walking around alone at night." The ice mage froze on his feet trying to figure out why in the world he was acting flirtatious around Lucy.

From everything Gray told her, one particular word remained in Lucy's brain echoing incessantly. "Cute?" She asked covering her flushed face with her hands and stared at her friend through the gaps she left on purpose between her slim fingers.

"Y-Yeah… We should go now." Gray turned around clumsily trying to avoid further
awkwardness.

The duo left the hotel without a clear goal. They aimed at nothing but the slightest amount of distraction they could get from each other. Lucy kept a safe distance between them. She didn't want people to misunderstand their little walk for a date.

She actually felt bad when she considered Gray's position. He was there to calm his mind, the same as her; she did not need to be thinking that far into possibilities.

As if to test her theory, the night was still young and the streets filled with couples. It didn't seem to bother Gray who was too absorbed into his own thoughts to even realize how unusual his surroundings had just become.

They walked past a small group of people and Lucy could swear she heard the words busty blonde being directed at her. She looked around and noticed two boys approaching at a considerable pace. The mage cursed the so-called safe distance she maintained from her friend; she would not mind some closure now.

"Hey cutie!" One of the boys said while the other took hold of her wrist. "How about we go for a walk."

"Let go!" She tried to pull her arm with a yank, but the grip around her wrist was strong enough to hold. "I said, let go!"

Lucy did not have to repeat herself as a fist crashed against the boy's face sending him flying across the street. "Oi, teme! I'm not one to pick useless fights, but you better not give me a reason to." Gray growled ferociously.

The remaining boy took three steps back fearing for his facial structure. Lucy blinked twice in awe noticing how far the poor teenage landed from the striking point. "You didn't have to… I can take care of it…"

"Like hell I'll just stand here watching these idiots mess with you!" Gray held both hands in fists; his new coat was already discarded by the time. He scanned the terrified figure before him.

"I know you!" One of the girls from the group shouted. "You're that guy who lost horribly at the first match of the grand magic games. Not satisfied, she went ahead and continued to taunt the duo while laughing like a maniac. "And you must be his unlucky girlfriend!" She pointed a finger at Lucy.

"Losers! Get lost before I call Raven tail to kick your ass."

"Tch…"

Gray felt a hand on his shoulder. "Forget them." Lucy spoke behind his back. "They're not worth your time." She reassured taking his coat from the floor and wiping the dirt from it.

Gray sighed before turning to leave the place. "You got lucky this time." He mumbled below his breath

"Look how weak! Even non-mage people make Fairy tail scared nowadays! What a shame!"

Lucy shook her head in denial asking Gray to remain calm. "Let's go." She held Gray's arm in an attempt to get them moving again.

After leaving the group of rioters behind, they walked in silence for a couple of minutes before Lucy decided to break it. "I know you're angry, but…"

Gray cut her off. "I'm sorry about it." He apologized sincerely. "I almost lost my cool there."

"Almost?" Lucy laughed softly at her friend's remark. "You losing your cool sounds like a joke really." She covered her mouth with her free hand snickering behind her fingers.

"Why is that?" Asked an indignant mage.

"You're an ice mage, dummy!" Lucy replied playfully. "You're always cool." She realized the double meaning and honestly didn't mind being misunderstood.

Gray made a face trying to hide a blush as they continued to walk. "Did I look cool?" He asked not looking at her.

"Nope, you looked like a brute."

Gray's jaw dropped abruptly as he felt the sting.

Lucy giggled cutely. "I wonder what makes guys think we're into sweaty shirtless muscled bodies and manly fights over us." She could barely concentrate on her walking due to her excessive laughter.

"You don't need to go that far…"

"I'm sorry." Lucy wiped a single tear from her eye. "I'm just bemused by the male population's assumptions." She glanced at the other couples passing by and noticed most of them were holding hands.

The blonde girl looked back at her companion and felt the urge to hold his arm, not because she wanted to, but because she was feeling left out in the crowd. A bunch of people walking around, but just a few seemed to be single; it was beginning to bother her.

"Gray…"

"Hn?"

She gave her current thought another try to see if it was really worth the consequences. Lucy wanted to fit in the crowd, not the way people would think she did, but not the way she chose to believe either.

"Would you mind if I…"

Gray watched confused as Lucy continued to search in her vocabulary the right words to make him understand exactly what she meant, no space for multiple interpretations, not with such a delicate subject.

"I wanted to know…if…" They were walking past a dark alley when a stray cat jumped out of it meowing like it came straight out of a horror movie to give the poor mage the fright of her life.

It was super effective as Lucy jumped horribly startled by the sudden alarming sound and hugged Gray's arm out of pure reflex and a bit of instinct.

She glared menacingly at the defenseless animal as it purred and paraded out of the way causing Lucy to begin planning on writing a book named 'ten ways to torture a cat', she paused musing about her tittle choice and added a 'without pain' in the end.

"Jerk!" Was the best she could come up with to demonstrate the fury of a scared celestial spirit mage, and she felt bad afterwards thinking she was mean to the little kitty. Lucy rushed her way along the street trying to flee the scene.

Their aimlessly treading led them to many food and gifting stores, restaurants and other places they could visit, but they decided to keep walking and eventually arrived at a river not far from the city. There, they could see a few couples taking small boats and enjoying themselves on rides across the river.

The dealer was a man around his fifty. He had slightly aged hair color coupled with a few wrinkles on his face. He left his cabin approaching the duo without a warning, and started offering his services.

"What a lovely couple we have here. Are you two interested in a love ride across Crocus' river?"

Lucy's face was instantly marked by red as she realized she was still holding Gray's arm. She blamed the cat, but could not find reason to become angry at it anymore. "We're not a couple." She answered evasively still not letting go of his arm.

"Oh really? You mean not yet. C'mon, don't be shy, today is a love commemorative day in Crocus." The man revealed explaining the amount of couples going out that night.

Gray took his wallet and handed the jewels to the man.

"I see… bringing her here was all part of your meticulously plotted plan, right? So you're actually interested in renting a boat, young boy?"

"If it'll make you shut up."

Lucy squeezed Gray's arm. "Gray! That's rude… apologize."

The dealer started laughing at the duo. Both mages stood still wondering what was so funny about a lecturing session.

"Look at you two…" The man's laughter calmed to become a simple smile. "You two look like a married couple already." He watched their reaction for his own amusement for a while.

"Gray… let's go." Lucy said unable to hide her frustration.

"Oh… that's no good. You can't call him Gray…" Said the dealer rubbing one of his hands against the other like a scheming evil genius. "You have to call him dar-ling."

Lucy hid her face pressing it against Gray's arm and encircled her arms around it holding him even harder.

"Oi! You're annoying her." Gray was about to argue with the dealer when he suddenly heard something that would soon make him doubt reality.

"D-Dar… ling…"

While the dealer's eyes shone with passion, Gray's face had disbelief written all over it. Did she really? No way! Did she?

"Mou… let's get to this boat ride already." Lucy complained with muffled shouts. She parted dragging Gray along her.

From the distance, the man could only stare and envy their somewhat naïve behavior. "It's so good to be young."

Lucy pushed Gray onto the boat trying to rush the process. The ice maker struggled to keep his balance as he stepped on the boat making it rock wildly.

Gray offered his friend a hand and she gladly accepted it delicately stepping onto the boat for their accidental ride. He started rowing just for the sake of rowing while Lucy glared at him for apparently no reason. "You…" She angrily shot. "Why did you rent it?"

He swallowed nervously when he couldn't find the answer. "I don't know… I thought it would be fun."

"Unbelievable." She sighed.

Lucy looked at the sky and the stars seemed to be alive as they greeted her. It was beautiful, especially for her. She was a celestial spirit mage, the sky and the stars felt like home. It calmed her and eventually calmed Gray too.

The blonde looked back at her companion with a puzzled look on her face. "Now what?" She crossed her arms over her chest and waited for an explanation.

"Now we enjoy the ride…" Gray replied when he was sure there wouldn't be a better answer for that question.

Lucy pouted. "We're not a couple! How are we supposed to enjoy this?" She reasoned.

Gray stopped the boat and took the oars inside it. "Do you want me to go back?" He asked seriously making Lucy almost wish she hadn't complained about the ride.

"It's not like this… it's just that we…"

Gray waited patiently for his spoiled friend to finish her sentence. "What's bothering you?"

"Never mind… it's nothing…"

In response to Lucy's lack of communication, Gray remained motionless as a form of protest. "I'm not buying it… but I'm not about to insist either."

Lucy sighed once again. "You'll probably think I'm stupid."

"I won't."

"How can you be so sure?"

"I can't."

Lucy frowned. "I won't tell you then."

Gray sat there staring directly at the girl's eyes.

"Gray… you're staring."

"I am."

"Then stop."

"Not until you tell me what's wrong with you."

"Fine! I get it… you win." She finally gave up.

"So?"

"I've been thinking about our loss again." She confessed. "I bet you think I'm stupid now… you've been trying to cheer me up as much as you could and here I am mopping over it again."

Gray had to hold in a laughter that was about to burst out. "You really are stupid."

A vein popped in Lucy's forehead as she squeezed the boat sides with enough force to crack it. "You don't have to be so direct about it."

"I've been thinking about the same thing. I just don't let it show that easily." Gray admitted making Lucy lower her guard a bit. "I want to avoid it, but it keeps coming back, it's so freaking annoying, I can't seem to get rid of these thoughts."

Lucy could only stare at Gray as he finally became honest about the occurred. "I guess that makes us both stupid then." She giggled.

"I guess." He smiled softly yet ever so weakly. "I don't take defeat very well."

Lucy's expression softened. "I don't see you lose so often, in the other hand, I am always dragging you guys down… I feel so useless sometimes."

"I lose more battles than you realize." The ice mage shook his head. "I see… so that's what was making you feel down, huh?"

She nodded embarrassedly. "I'm always the one needing help, always the one being trapped, always the one who needs recuing. It bothers me to no end."

"You might not be the strongest of us, but you're surely not weak. You're just making unfair comparisons." Gray started earning the girl's attention. "If I compare myself with Erza, Laxus and Gildarts, I'll feel bad too, but that never stopped me from training and growing stronger."

"You have a point… they would easily kick your ass."

"Oi!"

Lucy laughed. "I'm sorry, and thank you for comforting me. I guess I just have to become stronger." Her mind traveled back a few minutes not letting details go unnoticed. "You said you lose more battles than you let show. What did you mean?"

Gray fixed his gaze at the bottom of the boat before retrieving the oars and straining his hands on them as he began to row back.

The other mage left her spot and placed a hand over the boy's oar preventing him from rowing. "That's not fair. I opened my heart to you, why won't you do the same?"

"I can't…" He simply replied.

"You can, trust me."

"This won't end well."

"Why don't you trust me? Please let me help you, just as you did to me. I exposed myself to you. I let you know something very personal."

Gray looked for several excuses to no avail. Lucy was completely right; she let him know a piece of private information from her and he gave her nothing in return.

"Fine then…" Gray prepared mentally for his secrecy exchange when they heard the dealer's voice shouting for them.

"Love birds! Time is up, get back here you two!"

Lucy cursed the man's existence as they rowed back to the place they were supposed to return the boat. She held a vicious expression when asked about how enjoyable the ride was.

"It could have been a lot better!" Was her annoyed answer.

It was common sense that women should never remain bewildered, their curiosity was a hazardous zone and it should be avoided at all cost.

On their way back, they decided to stop by an ice cream store since Lucy was anxious and just felt like eating sweets. The girl was apparently growing used to hanging around holding Gray's arm since she repeated the gesture while going to the bar where their friends were waiting.

Gray decided it was a good idea to lick Lucy's ice cream without permission. Lucy frowned not really expecting the childish move, she complained while lightly beating on his chest with her small fist.

"Give it back!" She ordered unaware of what she implied with it. Lucy stiffened when realization finally downed on her.

Gray laughed to his heart's content. "Are you sure?" He smiled cockily and then stuck out his tongue.

Lucy saw that convinced smile and immediately felt like removing it no matter what. "Yes, I am sure." She returned the favor by generously licking Gray's ice cream.

"Wow… I think you drooled on it." Gray joked making the girl's face go red with both anger and shame. "You'll have to give me yours now." He ordered.

She looked at his face and noticed he wasn't really bothered by his dessert's condition. He was smiling and teasing her with the intent of sharing his slightly improved mood. Lucy realized how foolish she had been, she did not even try to feel better assuming it would be useless.

Her face enlightened with new hope as she continued to walk by Gray's side suddenly holding his arm tighter. She giggled not minding to explain the source of her mood swing. Lucy closed her eyes and for once noticed how warm the ice mage's arm felt against her skin.

"Not always cool I guess…" She muttered louder than she meant to.

"Sorry?" Asked a confused Gray.

She chuckled before replying. "You heard nothing."

The night fell in its full glory bringing a chilling breeze with it. Lucy shivered a bit making Gray feel his manly pride falter since had nothing but his shirt on. He looked again and saw his coat folded over Lucy's arm. She had been carrying it all this time; otherwise, it would be lost somewhere around the city.

Lucy stopped and slid an arm inside one of the sleeves then proceeded to wear the coat completely. She stopped by a mirrored surface to check how she looked.

"It's so long…" She mused. "I never realized how taller you were." Lucy spun analyzing different angles of her body. "Do I look good?" She turned to Gray waiting for his reply.

"Can I take a picture?"

Lucy's face heated up drastically. Did she really look that good in a coat that didn't even properly fit her body?

"Natsu would never believe me if I told him you wore it."

"You're not telling him." She pouted and pushed forward ignoring Gray's answer.

Gray opened a door and walked into an old building. "I don't need to." He grinned pointing to a sign over the door reading Bar Sun. Lucy paused and looked inside the building to see her friends staring at her through the windows. She was briefly petrified, but decided to act normally. Both mages finished their dessert before meeting their friends.

Sweating and walking stiffly was what she could manage while trying to act normally.

Lucy walked inside the pub being greeted by her friends. She still wore Gray's coat much to Juvia's dismay.

The water mage had that dark jealousy aura all around her in a second. She approached the duo glaring coldly at the blonde girl, but was quickly contained by the other mages.

Levy approached the new guests concerned about her friend's well-being. "Are you alright, Lu-chan?"

Lucy gave her the thumbs up before replying. "Totally fine. I'm actually more pumped up than ever."

Mirajane watched from another table with a hand carefully placed over her giggling mouth. "My, my… I wonder what could have caused such a drastic change of heart." She muttered under her breath.

"Did you say something?" Lisanna asked her sister.

Mirajane shook her head. "Nothing at all."

The little gathering portrayed all Fairy tail was famous for, loud people, gallons of alcohol and a lot of broken furniture.

Lucy took a sit at a table after scanning the room for the safest place to stay. She secretly wished they never reached the bar. One small glance at the ice maker's direction was enough to realize he felt the same.

Their eyes met for a brief second and Gray smiled tenderly at her while waving his hand. She could not hold her own smile as she shyly raised her hand to wave back at him.

Her daydreaming was rudely interrupted by the appearance of Bacchus from Quatro Cerberus. The man made a scene winning a drinking contest against Kana and taking what little piece of clothing the card mage considered her top as a trophy. He left after taunting Fairy tail, making the carefree atmosphere vanish along with his presence.

The night was at its peak when people decided to head to bed and prepare for the next day's events. All Fairy Tail staff returned to the Honey Bone hotel for a deserved rest.

Gray yawned as he opened the door to his room. He was about to close the door when he felt resistance from the other side. He wanted to force the door shut but fortunately decided against it.

"The hell is wrong with this door?" He heard a soft whimper coming front behind the wooden object.

"You really are a brute." Spoke Lucy with puffed cheeks. "I came to return your coat." She handed the coat to Gray and prepared to leave.

"Wait!"

The girl turned around curiously. "Hn?"

Gray smirked with confidence radiating from his face. "We'll definitely get them back for what they've done!" He extended his hand for Lucy.

Lucy answered with the same amount of enthusiasm. "Yes!" She grabbed Gray's hand firmly showing her restored resolve.

Both of them took their separate ways getting ready for whatever would come their way.


I had a few ideas while writing the main story and I didn't feel like dividing my thoughts in two different projects, so I'll post a few short stories after each chapter. I hope you enjoy!


Fan fiction

Lucy paced around her room explaining a set of rules for a much laid back Gray who was resting on her bed. She paused and turned with authority in her speech.

"Listen up! We have to submit at least one chapter per week, or else we will never reach the sacred mark of five thousand reviews. Understand?"

"Aye, aye!"Gray saluted the girl yawning lazily on her bed. "Why the hell do you want so many reviews anyway?"

Lucy blinked in surprise. "Because we write for feedback, if we have no feedback, we have no will to write. It's simple."

"What if you get five thousand reviews and they are all flames?"

Lucy frowns. "Is my writing that bad? Flamers are idiots who should and shall be ignored. We can't let stupid people make our work seem stupid, just because their brains don't have enough working cells. Besides, you're helping too... let's get going."

Gray grunted clearly annoyed. "Alright."

"The first scene is an action scene. I'll start writing it and you tell me what you think, ok?" The blonde proposed with a lovely smile on her face.

"Ok..."

Team Lucy was surrounded by the darkest of all-

"Wait..."

"What is it, Gray? I'm not done yet." Lucy complained with her hands on her hips.

"Team Lucy?" Gray chuckled lightly. "When did we become team Lucy?"

"This is fan fiction, Gray! We don't have to be one hundred percent exact."

"Isn't that what you call being OOC?

Lucy clenched her hands in fists at the suggestion made by Gray's remark. "Are you implying I'm not fit to be this team's leader?" She got nothing as reply and decided to continue. "Now let me finish!"

...the darkest of all dark guilds-

"Seriously? Darkest of all dark guilds?"

Lucy paused between her interpretation losing a considerable amount of her patience."What's wrong now?"

"Ok, let me try." Gray began in a teasing tone. "Why don't you say the dark mages from the dark guilds united in a dark conspiracy to create the darkness brigade and paint the world in blue?"

Lucy had a vein popped in her forehead along Gray's exaggerated sentence; she only paused to muse at the end. "Why blue?"

"Oh sorry... dark blue."

"Jerk!" She lay by his side on the bed looking at the roof. "Let me finish before you start your whining."

"Darth Vader approves your story."

She poked his cheek. "Shut up!"

...the darkest of all 'mages' when Natsu rose to his feet with a battle cry and rushed at the enemy-

"Please tell me he will get his ass handed to himself..."

"Gray!" She called out angered by the constant interruptions.

"I mean it." Gray paused and put on Lucy's eyeglasses in an attempt to look intelectual. "First... by the way you're leading this scene, you make it look like we're all exhausted, and so Natsu suddenly stands with full strength and rushes at the enemy..." He looked at her waiting for a reply.

"And?" She asked impatiently.

"And you want this to work? The bad guy beats us over, and over, and over, and over, and over and over-"

"That's enough, Gray! I get it." Lucy pinched his nose.

Gray stared at her with a skeptical expression and allowed the silence to take over before continuing.

"And over again! And then Natsu emerges from the ashes and finishes the fight with a single, hit?"

"Ok... you have a point."

...but receives a devastating strike that sends him flying back to the remaining mages. Lucy realizes her team is in utter shock from facing such a powerful enemy and begins casting one of her strongest magic; Urano Metria. She gathers a huge amount of magic power-

"Stop!" Gray shouts in frustration making the girl shiver with the fright it gave her.

"What now?" She replies equally frustrated.

"I have three options to describe this situation. First: the dark mage is retarded and is waiting for the people of the earth to finish sharing their energy with you."

"It's not a freaking Genki Dama! It's Urano Me-"

"Second: all remaining mages, as you chose to call us, and don't forget Erza is among these guys, are completely disposable since they do nothing but watch you summon your megazord."

"..."

"Third: I feel pretty useless having no lines in your story. You'll have to make up for it."

Gray removed the eyeglasses he's been wearing and pulled Lucy into a warm embrace. The girl pouted in response still annoyed by his latest remarks. He smiled stroking her hair while brushing his lips against hers until it becomes a deep kiss.

Lucy allowed him to have control. She deliberately begged for more closure and freed herself from her restraints almost failing to realize they were both in bed. She retreated into a safe distance placing a pillow between them.

"Enough with the action." Lucy said shyly. "Let's move to the romance part."

Gray nodded agreeing with his girlfriend and pulled the notebook she's been using to write her story. He began to write and took fifteen seconds to finish the whole romance scene.

"Done!"

Lucy raised an eyebrow at the comment. "Let me see it." She started reading the contents of the romance scene to realize the text had barely two lines in it.

Lucy can't help but feel like she's been blessed by the gods as she looks at her boyfriend. She assaulted him with hugs and kisses before demanding him to make children with her.

"What the...!" Lucy paused trying her hardest not to kill her blessed gift from the gods. "Where do you get these ideas from?"

"My head."

"I should part it in two to have better access to these dazzling thoughts of yours." Lucy erased the whole scene without mercy. "A romantic scene should be descriptive and above all... romantic!"

Gray sat on the bed wondering which part of his scene wasn't romantic.

"It should be like this!"

She felt his strong arms around her waist and wrapped her own around his neck in return. Their faces were only inches apart as he continued to decrease the gap between their bodies-

"Sounds like you're going to rape me."

Lucy grasped her pencil with enough force to break it. "What did you say?"

"I said you're really talented with your words."

"Liar." She turned around not wanting to face her lover. "You think a romantic scene is all about getting straight to sex? You should go read those M rated one-shot that consist of ten percent story development and ninety percent sex."

Gray hugged his girlfriend from behind placing light kisses on the nape of her neck. "I promise I'll do better at description if you show me how a real romance scene should be."

Lucy couldn't help but smile at the seductive innuendo. "I guess it can't be helped..." She switched off the lights crawling over the ice mage's body. The blonde hovered over him leaning in for a kiss, her tongue immediately asking for permission to enter his mouth. They kept the kiss going increasing the heat and the passion in their movements.

"Is this the part where I slowly discard your clothes noticing how beautiful your skin looks against the moonlight?" He asked trying to make up for his previous mistakes.

"No..." Lucy answered slowly licking and biting his lower lip, her hands traveled all the length from his chest to his abs.

"This is the part where I demand you make children with me."


A/N: Is it worth being continued? It's been a while since I last wrote something. Please tell me what you thought about it, and if you liked it, leave me a review, it makes my days brighter. Any form of feedback is acceptable, so critics are also welcomed.

I meant this to be short, I know many people write short chapters in order to maintain a weekly update, and I know some of you give up when facing huge chapters like this. I just can't write short chapters. I always end up overdoing them... I think a 5 page chapter won't cover the events I planned for it.

As usual, english is not my language, so I know many errors may occur and I ask you all to forgive me, but I have no time to focus on learning proper english writing with work and college going on. If any of you feel bothered by anything here, please point that out in a PM and I will correct it... AGAIN, point it out in a PM, not as a review please. Reviews get me all hyped... imagine my face when I realize it's a correction, and if you're struggling to imagine it, just take a look below.

:(
