And she's a real sweet girl
and you know I got a boy

The red head looked over, brown eyes clashing with dark blue ones. His eyes bore into her; even if she looked away his eyes were on her. Then again, they always were even before they began their little tryst.
"Erza," His eyes spoke. She looked away, unable to meet his smoldering gaze. They had known each other since High School, and now they were 21 and 20 respectively, with her being the older one. Yet, sometimes Gray seemed older than her- much older and wiser.
Though, he couldn't be to wise if he continued to come back to her. Besides, she was technically taken- as was he.
He was dating a sweet girl who just wanted to please everyone and fit in, a sweet innocent type named Juvia Lockser. They met when Gray had just turned 19 and she instantly "fell in love with her precious Gray-sama", but neither Gray nor Erza believed in the thing known as "Love at First Sight".
Erza Scarlet and Gray Fullbuster had begun their tryst before that even; it had started at some point around after Erza turned 18 and Gray was about to turn 18. He was born a year before her, yet a few months before her birthday so there was a period in time where they were the same age.
Erza was dating the loving, yet somewhat withdrawn at times, Jellal Fernandes. They had grown up together and he had been her first crush, but soon after meeting Gray she grew out of it. Since Gray and Erza were only "beneficial friends" they felt like they could start relationships with others without ending up with one another again.
That didn't work out.
Erza and Jellal had gotten into an argument because he wasn't acting like himself, due to the fact that he blamed himself for the death of their childhood friend Simon. She had been irritated- she had tried to tell him it wasn't his fault for years now.
At the same time Gray and Juvia had gotten into an argument because she was overly jealous that he was friends with Erza (she viewed her as her Rival for Love) and Gray became irritated because of something Juvia had called Erza in a fit of rage- even though she didn't truly mean it, the insulting name had thrown Gray over the edge and he left.
So of course Gray and Erza went to the only place that they could find solace and comfort- each other.
That was when they were both 19 at that point. It was right before Erza's 20th birthday.
Jellal had apologized and asked for her forgiveness- Erza couldn't say no to the friend that had been there for her the longest of anyone else. She wanted to end her relationship with him, but every time she tried something came up and prevented her from doing so.
The same with Gray, but Gray and Erza weren't even sure what their relationship would become afterward. Would they become an official couple? Or would they continue to only be each other's friend with benefits?

You know you're just my type
And your eyes are lock and key, to my heart
Tempting my confession
And you're a real hot thing
But you know I've got a boy somewhere
So can you feel the tension?

Juvia and Jellal continued to make small talk while Gray stared at Erza, though it was actually hard to tell. They were on a double date, Juvia had insisted. While Juvia and Jellal had a conversation, getting to know one another, Erza stared out the window. Every now and then Jellal would talk to Erza or place his hand on hers or ask her what was wrong before giving her a small kiss. Suddenly there was a knock on the glass and Erza looked before smiling slightly.
It was her other best friends, Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia.
"Erza, Gray!" Lucy smiled and waved. Erza excused herself but not before Jellal managed to give her a small kiss. Gray glared before briskly excusing himself and they headed outside to meet their friends. Juvia and Jellal watched from inside.
"Hello Lucy, are you and Natsu on a date?" Erza asked while crossing her arms and leaning against the glass.
"Eh, you could say that. This pig ate all the food in my house so now he has to go grocery shopping with me and carry the bags." Lucy shrugged and Erza let out a small chuckle. Natsu had at least six shopping bags and Gray found it amusing at how whipped Natsu was. Though Gray couldn't say anything- if Erza told him to jump he would.
"Oi, what's so funny droopy eyes?" Natsu glared. Gray smirked.
"Your ugly ass, flame brain." Natsu and Gray suddenly were in each other's faces arguing and the girls sighed before Erza glared.
"Boys," Erza started darkly and Gray and Natsu began to sweat profusely before hugging one another.
"We're sorry ma'am we're best friends! Best friends argue sometimes, right? Right!" They said in unison and Erza's glare relaxed some.
"Good, now Natsu be good to Lucy and Gray we should probably go back inside." She instructed.
"A-Aye!" They said.
"Oh, were you on a double date?" Lucy asked and Gray nodded before motioning towards the door. Erz nodded and waved to her and Natsu before she and Gray started heading back inside. Before they walked in, they stepped into the shadows behind the building.
"This is too much. I can't handle watching him touch you and kiss you when I know I can't now." Gray said and Erza looked away. His eyes, when she looked in them, were tempting her to say something. Something she was too afraid to say to him.
They both knew that Gray was exactly they kind of guy she needed and wanted, and vice versa, but they never said it.
"Damn him for being hot." Erza remembered the words of her friend Ultear. Right now she couldn't help but agree.
"Gray. Jellal is inside, he's my… he's my boyfriend." She whispered. She had never hated a word so much.
"Erza," Gray started before letting out a frustrated sigh. He grabbed her forearms and pressed his lips to hers. She gasped and kissed back momentarily before pulling back.
"Enough. We have to go inside before they get suspicious." Erza looked away, though her hands in his hair and the blush on her cheeks spoke volumes against wanting to go back inside. Gray sighed before moving his arms away from her waist and walking next to her into the café.
Meanwhile Lucy and Natsu were walking in route to Lucy's apartment when she broke the silence.
"Hey Natsu, was it just me or was their some tension between Gray and Erza?" She asked and Natsu shrugged.
"I've noticed it for a while now Luce. I'm surprised I caught on before you," here Natsu laughed, "but it just recently got to be extremely bad. I think the only people who haven't noticed are them and their partners. It's sexual tension, I'm betting." Natsu stated nonchalantly. Lucy stopped walking before Natsu turned back and looked at her shocked expression.
"Luce? What's the matter?" Natsu asked in confusion.
"E-Erza and G-Gray having a… sexual relationship… or any relationship at all is just unbelievable." Lucy said and Natsu looked at her truly bemused.
"How? I could see droopy eyes with Erza, I mean they are a good match and have been really close since we were freshman. Some stuff happened with Erza's home life while she was in freshman year and Gray was the one she was close to. I don't know all of it; just what she and Gray let me know. That was before you got there though, after that I kind of figured that they'd get to together. " Lucy's jaw dropped. Natsu rarely spoke so seriously so he had to be serious about this.
"Wow, I never would've guessed… I wonder why their dating Juvia and Jellal then…" Lucy said before Natsu shrugged and they continued to walk.

You're leaning closer and
I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I
But if you ask me to
I couldn't, I couldn't, I,
I shouldn't, I shouldn't
I don't wanna miss this kiss

That night Erza did it. She finally told Jellal that they wouldn't last. She told him that it was because she didn't want to hurt him any more than she knew that this would. Erza knew that the longer you're in a relationship with someone you don't like and they like you the more that it will hurt them in the end.
She sat her home alone and crying, hating herself for breaking her best friends heart but she knew that if they didn't end it now that the heart break would have been even worse for him in the long run. She still felt as though she was evil but knew that she was just looking out for him.
Gray came to her and told her the news: he and Juvia had broken up. He had broken up with her for the same reasons.
They were just sitting in silence for a while after they finished telling one another how they ended their relationships in hopes that the other wouldn't be to heart broken. Now they just sat there, having each other as comfort. They didn't do anything romantic at all, but for the night he stayed with her.
A few months' later things had begun to settle and she was starting to get close to Jellal again, things working slowly to regain their friendship since they both missed that friendship of someone who had been through it all with you. Juvia and Gray began to slowly become friends again and she began to fall, slower this time, for Gray's friend-slash-rival Lyon Vastia.
It was a normal night and Gray was just hanging out at Erza's, just playing video games and talking. Gray sat there in shorts with now shirt and Erza wore only a swim suit top and short-shorts with her hair up. It was the middle of summer and of course it was in the hundreds for a temperature.
She walked past Gray, Popsicle in hand, and plopped down on the couch before starting to eat. It threw him over the edge.
"Erza," He started and she turned towards him.
"Yeah?" She asked, before catching the glint in his eyes. Over the past few months they refrained from any romantic things besides the occasional kiss on the top of the head. She hadn't seen that glint there in so long that she had begun to doubt if he wanted her anymore.
They were sitting a few inches apart and suddenly Erza felt like they were far too close, yet she loved every moment of it.
He began to lean in and she knew that she shouldn't do this; she should sort out what their relationship was first.
"Kiss me," He whispered and she couldn't say no.
She had missed far too many other chances to snatch a kiss or two and now she was not passing this one up.
She pressed her lips to his and felt the fireworks, and she knew that this time would be different.
This time they would be together, for everyone to know not just them.
"I love you, Erza." Gray whispered against her lips and she smiled before looking down.
"I… I love you too, Gray." She finally said and he grabbed her into a tight embrace and she swore that he would never let go.
Not that she minded of course.
