It's GrayLu Week! This is my first time writing for this pairing. I hope you enjoy!

I do not own Fairy Tail.

Day 1: Whispers

Lucy was fast asleep when Gray snuck into her apartment. He knew she would be, it was almost two in the morning, but he'd had to see her. He'd been gone on a specific request for two weeks now. By the end of the first week he'd been missing her like crazy, and by the end of week two nobody wanted to be near him.

They were getting communication lacrima's. He was not doing this again unless he was sure he could talk to her at the end of the day.

Already undressed, Gray slid in next to her, taking her into his arms. Kissing her neck, he took in the strawberry scent of her shampoo. No matter what state they were in, she always smelled like strawberries. It had become a source of comfort for Gray. It was one Lucy indulged, even if she thought it was weird when he would randomly shove his face in her hair.

He continued to kiss her neck until she stirred. "Gray?" She whispered sleepily.

He ran his hand up her side, sliding beneath her sleep shirt. "That is my name."

She turned in his arms, snuggling into his chest. She smiled, "I missed you."

Gray brought her as close as he possibly could, and kissed her head. "I missed you too."

Her breathing slowly evened out, sleep claiming her again. The constant travel finally caught up with Gray. With a content smile, he fell asleep.

Lucy woke up alone the next morning. The sun was out, its rays shining through her curtains. She frowned at the empty spot next to her. She could have sworn Gray came over last night. The feeling of his arms around her was still at the front of her mind.

Was it really just a dream?

She supposed she could have imagined it. He'd been gone for two weeks now, and she missed him. Doing missions helped distract her, but she'd still had to come home at the end of the day. They hadn't talked since he left, both not having communication lacrima's.

Depressed now, Lucy lay back down. She wasn't going to go into the guild today. All her friends would try and cheer her up, and she honestly didn't feel like being near people right now.

Something slammed in her kitchen, making Lucy sit up straight. She relaxed a moment later, thinking it was Virgo or Loke messing around in the kitchen.

Her breath caught when he came out of her kitchen. Seeing her awake, he frowned. "Has Ash Breath been staying here again? Your kitchen is completely empty. I warned the bastard to stop sleeping with you-"

He stopped talking as Lucy threw herself at him. She poured two weeks of missing him in one deep kiss. He grinned against her mouth. "If this is the reception I get every time I leave, I'll make sure to go out more often."

She glared at him playfully. "I woke up alone, and thought last night was a dream." She smiled, "I'm just so happy to see you."

He carted her over to the bed, laying them both down. "I missed you."

She giggled as his hair tickled her neck. "I wasn't going to go to the guild today, so…"

He grinned. "Good." Not saying anything more, Gray got to work on showing Lucy just how much he'd missed her.

AN: There it is. It's pretty short, I know, but this is what came to me.
