Chapter 1
A rainy morning greeted everyone in Magnolia. Most men in Fairy Tail were still dozing off, as the weather was very complimenting to their moods. The women, on the contrary, were all up, cleaning the mess everyone did from yesterday's celebration.
"Lisanna, I'll be the one cleaning those tables, you don't need to bother."
"No, sister, let me do this. You already did a lot of cleaning today."
"If you say so..."
"Excuse Juvia, but she hasn't seen Gray-sama yet. By any chance, did Miss Mira bump into him today?"
"I didn't, sorry. But I think he's somewhere out there, sleeping soundly. There's no need for you to worry about him." She comforted her.
Little did they know, he was not just simply sleeping somewhere out there. In fact, he was sleeping somewhere comfortable. Somewhere soft. Somewhere warm. The cold breeze made him drowsier. The think blanket made him at ease. What was questioning was that, one time after another, he finds the blanket being pulled, and in return, he was pulling it also. It's as if another human being was beside him, and they're playing a game of tug-of-war.
Upon curiosity, and a little bit of annoyance, he deliberately opened his eyes. And much to his concern, yes, someone was at the other end. Someone was pulling the same blanket covering him. That someone was Lucy Heartfilia.
He yelped.
Because of the loud voice, she was slightly awakened from her slumber – upset, "What the hell? Is that you Gray? Can't you let me sleep for a while?"
After several seconds, her eyes opened wide, "Wh-whaa! Gray?! What're you doing here?!"
"What? What are you doing here?!"
"Why are you asking me? I'm the one supposed to be asking that! This is my room, and you're on my bed! So tell me, what're you doing here?!"
"Yeah, what am I doing here?!"
"Why are you asking me that?!"
"Because I can't remember anything! The only thing I know was that there was a party yesterday in the guild. Everyone was having fun. Everyone was... Was..."
"Drunk."
"Oh no. Do we dare look at what's underneath this blanket?"
"Shall we?" She trembled, "... Oh wait, no no no! I'll be the only one peeking!"
"What?! Why?!"
"Of course! You might, you know..."
"Okay fine!" He exclaimed as he murmured some things about his human rights.
"... Gray."
"What? Tell me I'm wrong."
"You're not... We're, we're na-naked!" She yelled as she peeked underneath the cloth.
"What?! So I was feeling right!" He suddenly sat up, causing the blanket to somehow move upwards.
"Hey what're you doing you perv?! I said we're naked! So if you stand up, or sit just like that, my body will be exposed!"
"O-okay." He looked onto another direction, blushing, "So-sorry... What did really happen anyway? And besides... Did we-?"
"Don't! Don't say it please. Up until now, I strongly believe that I am a very pure woman – never been touched, never been kissed!"
"Okay fine." He sighed, "So, what should we do?"
"Get dressed."
"How?"
"You stand up, and then get dressed first. Wa-wait! Not stand up with the blanket!" She pulled the comforter back to her body as he tried to rise up.
"So, how am I going to get dressed? I'll stand up naked?" He sarcastically asked.
"O-of course not!" She slightly reddened.
"Oh... Did you actually wanna see me with no clothes on? You could've just said so, you know." He smirked.
"Shut up!" She tucked her face in her pillow, "Now stand up and get dressed! I am not seeing anything!"
"Fine fine! Sheesh! If I know, you're the one who actually brought me to this mess missy."
"Excuse me?"
He laughed, "I was just teasing! Chill out!"
"Chill out?!" She sat up and covered herself with the blanket as she threw the pillow to the almost dressed Gray.
The cushion landed on his face. "Hey! I only have my boxers on!" he picked it up and covered the lower part of his body.
"It's your fault!" she looked away, blushing. "Anyway, just hurry up! I have to get dressed myself!"
After a few seconds, he replied. "Fine. You can look now. I'm done."
"Now, since you're done, get out."
"What? Just like that?"
"Yes! Just like that Mr. Gray Fullbuster!" she was about to throw another head rest to him again.
"Okay!" he put his hand up his chest, ready to defend himself as he opened the door. "But hey, what should we do now?"
"Let's just keep this between the two of us, while things are not yet clear. Let us try to remember what really happened and inform each other in case a memory pops up or so."
"Sounds good to me."
"But for now, let's try to act normally. Let's try to act like nothing happened at all."
"Sure. I don't think something really happened to us though." He scratched his head, "Then, I'll go now. I'll just see you around the guild."
She nodded in reply.
After he left, she stood up and went to the bathroom immediately. Long baths make her comfortable. Whenever she's bothered or troubled, baths are the ones that make her maintain her composure. And at that certain time, she really needed it. She badly needed it.

As he walked along the streets, he tried his best to recall everything, or at least, anything. Sure, he was getting fragments, but those were glimpses from the party. He didn't have any idea why or how he got in Lucy's room and on her bed. But truth be told, he hoped that nothing happened. It would be too chaotic – not only for him, not only for Lucy, but for the entire Fairy Tail.
"Darn, this came out of nowhere." He stretched out his arms, folded them and put them behind his head.
.
.
Several minutes, he arrived at the guild,
"Hi Gray. Where were you?"
"Uhh…" he tried to make an excuse; "I was just somewhere…" he laughed forcibly.
"See, Juvia, I told you he was just somewhere!"
"Miss Mira was right!" the bluenette ran to him, "Juvia was worried because Master Gray was out of sight, and he was drunk yesterday, so Juvia thought that he might be in trouble!"
"Uhh…" he turned his back away from her, "Do-don't worry, I will not be in trouble, err I meant, I wasn't in trouble."
"Good!" she sighed as a sign of relief, "But actually, Juvia is not only concerned about that. Juvia was also nervous because her love rival is not here too, so Juvia supposed that Master Gray and Lucy could've been together and since the weather is soothing—"
"No, no!" he waved his hands as he faced her, "Why- why would you th-think of that? Really, you have wild imaginations Juvia!" he forced his laugh again, trying to act innocent.
"You can't blame Juvia!" Cana yelled as she leaned on the pillar in the entrance and gulped beer, "Everyone was drunk yesterday, Gray – including you and Lucy."
"Now, now…" cold sweat was beginning to run down his face, "Stop making issues Cana. You're out of your mind. Oh well, that's what you get for drinking and drinking and drinking." He shrugged as he marched stiffly towards the door.
"Wait! Where is Master Gray going? He just got back!"
"I'll just go get some fresh air…"
Before he could step outside the guild, the chocolate-headed drunkard passed by him and whispered something – something that made him sweat even more. And as he continued his journey, he repeated her words inside his head,
"You may not remember anything, but I do. Want to know what really happened? Talk to me later. It's your decision if you want to bring Lucy or not. Don't worry, your secret's safe with me. Well at least, for now…" she smiled.
To be continued…
