Chapter One
Hey my little ducklings, I have this urge to write a Graylu fanfic so here it is ;)
This story takes place after the Oración Seis arc (The arc that deals with Nirvana and all that good stuff) and were Gemini took shape as Gray saying Gray was slightly interested in our very own Lucy-chan
Also the story will be taking place shortly after the Edolas arc when Lisanna comes back – Our adorable little sister that beats death.
Lucy's POV –
I wake up to the sun shining into my bedroom, my bed feels empty. Natsu has been catching up with Lisanna ever since we returned from Edolas. I am truly happy that she is back; I just miss Natsu a bit.
I sigh as the sun defeats me and I get up, I get dressed in a crop top and shorts. Time to go out; walking down the street the sun was warm. Today would get humid really quick; today would be a nice day to take a break.
Maybe Levy-chan would like to hang out. Shoot maybe the whole team would want to take a day off and go do something fun for a change.
I walk on the ledge by the river towards the guild; of course the men in the boats always warn me that this is dangerous. I just laugh to myself; those guys are always so kind.
Walking in the guild Natsu and Gray are arguing again, I just avoid the flying tables and chairs and finally meet the girls at our table and sit down with them.
"Oi, Lucy!" Levy-chan greeted me with a hug and we sat down next to each other.
"It's already so hot and it's only 9 in the morning" I groaned
"The temperature has risen significantly this morning." Juvia added
Erza was munching on her cake of course and Lisanna just joined us at the table.
"Hey guys!" She said with a big grin
"Lisanna, great you're here! We should all go out to the beach today and have some fun. We have been working hard enough to earn a free day. What do you guys think?" I ask the girls sitting with me.
"That sounds like a great idea! Should we invite the boys as well?" Levy asked us
"I don't see why not"— I was cut off by a couple of chairs flying over us "They don't HAVE to come with though!" We all laugh.
Gray and Natsu finally settle their argument and head towards us.
"If they come along they better behave." Erza makes sure to say it loud enough so they get their first and final warning.
"Go with you guys where?" Natsu asks
"All the girls and I are going to the beach. We are still trying to figure out if it is safe to bring you guys along. "Lisanna says. Natsu slightly blushes at the comment and looks at me to see if she was kidding or not.
"Do you guys want to come along?" I laugh asking them looking towards Gray.
"Aye! Sounds like fun!" Natsu says and Gray looks towards me and nods.
I smile "Okay, well Levy and I are going to get a quick breakfast and then go get our stuff, do we want to meet here in an hour?" I ask looking at the girls.
We all agree and part our ways, Levy and I go to the bar and order a fast breakfast and then walks out of the guild.
"So Lu-chan, how are you doing? I know Natsu has been spending a lot of time with Lisanna, are you okay with that?" Levy looks at me
"Of course, why wouldn't I be? She has been 'dead' for a long time. They deserve their time to catch up together." I giggle
"Sure, but don't you have feelings for Natsu? If it was Gajeel I would be pissed!" Levy says as we walk into my apartment and I pack my bags with my favorite bikini and the necessities for going to the beach.
"I don't really know… I guess I've never really thought about it. I'll have to get back to you about that!" I smile as I pack up and we head to Levy's place.
Entering her place to see nothing but books I make my way to her bathroom and change into my black bikini. Then I have a long white short sleeved sheer jacket. I walk out and Levy is in her small blue swimsuit. Wearing a big shirt over it, once she is packed we walk out and get to the guild just in time.
"Bout time you girls made it" Erza said getting up and we were off to the beach.
Getting off the train we walk the rest of the way. Natsu and Lisanna walk ahead of everybody and stick to themselves.
I guess Levy has a hunch that Natsu and Lisanna might have a thing for each other. But then again they are just talking that doesn't mean anything.
Levy and I walk with Gajeel who decided he had 'nothing better to do' so joined us.
And of course Juvia was following Gray, they were in front of us and Erza, Wendy with Carla and Happy were next to them.
"Damn Gajeel is rubbing off on us, we probably look like loners being all the way in the back." I sigh
"OI, what was that Bunny Girl? DO YOU WANNA GO?" He raises his voice at me. Levy and I know he is just playing around – he looks to Levy for permission.
"Take her down." Levy laughs
Lucky me I could run with my bag without difficulties, Levy and I dashed down the path, we passed everybody confusing them. Gajeel just launched in between everybody's groups with overly exaggerated metal claws. Levy and I just kept running – getting closer to our destination we kicked our flip-flops off and sprinted even faster.
We look back to see Gajeel still coming after us and Gray, Erza and Natsu going after Gajeel thinking he is actually upset.
"LEVY-Chan control your boyfriend!" I yell loud enough for Gajeel to here
"You started this!" Not denying my last comment
We just smile and make a turn on to a small path that only we knew about so far – we found this spot that was great for cliff jumping.
"Gajeel calm down!" Erza yells
Levy and I stop at our favorite tree and throw our stuff down and strip off our over shirts and then jog to the cliff and turn to Gajeel, behind him the others were in a battle positions and then Levy and I jump off the cliff hand in hand.
"LEVY! LUCY!" They yell and look down at us.
We hit the water and swim back up.
"Hurry up you guys! The water feels great!" I yell up at them.
Soon everybody is in the water Gajeel is helping Levy stay above water as an excuse to be near her. Natsu and Lisanna and the others are across from us.
"That was reckless!" Erza said to us.
"Oh come on, we are here to have fun that is just what we were doing." I say to her and look to Levy "Race you to the rock" I wink and then she nods and kicks off of Gajeel getting a head start.
She knew what was going on – ever since she mentioned Lisanna and Natsu being close it just seems like more drama that I want to steer clear from.
We make it to the rock leaving the others behind who begin to play around and swim to the shore.
"So what's up?" Levy says as we sit on our rock that is surrounded by water and some other smaller rocks, it gives us shade and faces us away from the shore. It looks like it's just us and the ocean, it's beautiful. And underneath there is a cave that Levy and I used our magic to clean it up a bit so we could actually hang out in there when we want to.
"I just want to avoid drama, after what you said this morning." I look at her.
"So you do like him?" Levy frowned knowing how the situation looked and didn't want her best friend to have a broken heart.
"I don't even know. Aghh why me Levy. I never felt like I did really but why am I so bothered about it now."
"It's only normal, even if you don't like him you were his best friend and then she just comes in without any warning. It'll pass." Levy smiled.
"Now, do you want to go join them?" She says standing up.
"Of course!" I get up and jump in the water with her. We almost land on Gajeel and Gray when we jump out, they moved just in time.
"What did we do to deserve an attack like that?" Gray laughs as he swims closer to me.
I just smile and swim to him as well, I just felt like being closer to him. Our legs almost touch when Gajeel and Levy swam off saying something about giving the two of us space. I just laugh of those two, Gray is looking at me and I slightly kick him away; he grabs my legs and pulls me to him and hold my waist so I'm against him.
"Oooohh Juvia is going to kill me! Is that what you want?" I say slightly laughing, slightly blushing. Slightly is an understatement.
"She is currently babysitting Wendy and going to get some ice cones at the stores near the shore." Not letting go of me he moves towards the rock and leans against it.
"More like Wendy is babysitting Juvia" I smirk
"Very true" he laughs refusing to let go of me.
I try to lean back away from him but he doesn't let go. "Do you need something?" I ask gesturing to his embrace.
Gray chuckles and let's go "Just what's you get when you tried to kick me away"
"Why aren't you with the others?"
"I could ask you the same thing" He smirks
I raise an eyebrow "I'm waiting until dark of course" I smile.
"Of course you are" He laughs
