Lucy walked into the guild biting her lip in nervousness. When she saw Gray, she pivoted the opposite direction.
'I can't do this I can't do this I can't do thi-' she was thinking to herself when she was interrupted by Gray.
"Hey Luce, what's up?" Gray said completely oblivious to the breakdown going down inside her head.
"H-hi Gray" Lucy said looking down.
"So what's going on?" He says slightly concerned about how she had reacted.
"Will you teach me ice magic?" Lucy blurted suddenly, then silence fell between them.
"What?" Gray asked finally, shocked at what she had said.
"I want to learn ice magic... Please teach me Gray." Lucy said while bowing deeply.
"Luce why do you want to learn ice magic?" Gray asked worriedly.
"Because... I'm weaker then you guys... AND DONT DENY IT... I just want to feel like I'm being useful... Besides, if someone took my whip and keys…. I'd be powerless." Lucy said, looking away. Gray lifted Lucy's head up.
"You want to learn ice magic? Why not Ezra's equip or Levy's solid script?" He asked, slightly flattered.
"Because" she said wide eyed "to be honest I like yours best" she whispered in his ear like it's a big secret.
"Ok I'll teach you, but you have to follow my instructions without complaint ok?" He said.
"Ok Gray I trust you." She said with a smile.
*the next day*
"Alright were here" Gray said once they reached the top of the mountain.
"H-holy it's cold up here" Lucy stammered.
"By the time you're done you could be naked up here and not feel a thing." Gray said with a smile.
"Alright off with our clothes" he said, already naked
.
"WHAT?!" Lucy yelled, folding her arms across her breasts.
"You said you'd follow my instructions correct? How do you think I got my stripping habit? My days at the pole?" He said sarcastically.
"Fine, fine" Lucy grumbled as her shirt comes off, and then her skirt. Her belt stayed on with her keys in case they got into trouble. Gray took one look at her and then got a bloody nose.
"PERV!" She yelled and then kicked him across the chest.
"Oomph" was the only sound Gray could make before he was sent flying.
"Fucking asshole pervert, why do I like him again?" She asked herself under her breath and then she froze.
Shit.
Nope.
That didn't happen.
'And besides, now he's my teacher.' She thought to herself.
When Gray finished climbing his way back up the mountain, she started following his instructions to a tee. But when she had trouble making the ice shield, Gray came up behind her to help. He wrapped his arms around her, he showed her how to hold her hands, and the stance she should take. Then Lucy stumbled and they both were sent falling down a slightly inclined slope. When they stopped, Lucy was under Gray, her legs tucked intimately under his frame. Gray was on top of her, not a single portion of them not touching. Grays lips were inches from Lucy's and their hot breath merged easily seen in the cool air. Their eyes had met in the heated moment. Lucy's heart was beating like an adrenaline rush, and Gray's onyx eyes were staring down at her with such an intensity that Lucy nearly melted like Juvia. Then Gray gets up.
"Alright let's get back to work" he said completely unaffected.
Or so it seemed. On the inside he was a complete hormonal mess. But he was there to teach her ice-make magic. He can teach her some other things later. And he had some very definite plans to.
