-GOOD TASTE: Clothes-
Gray && Lucy

Lucy and Gray were a couple—and a marvelous one at that.

The two had been going out for a year now and with the everyday bickerings that they have over petty things, the two pretty much knew each other like their own selves: strengths and weaknesess, likes and dislikes, what tickles them. That's why when the two fight on almost a daily basis, none of the Fairy Tail mages would be worried, knowing it would only be a matter of hours before they reconcile, usually initiated by Gray. Truly, the pair was a paragon of a healthy relationship, making most of the other couples jealous.

Today, they were celebrating their first anniversary and Gray wanted to treat Lucy like the princess she deserved to be. And although he truly hated shopping with her, he also truly enjoyed watching Lucy eagerly pick clothes and accessories.

"Ah, this one is cute, too!" the blond exclaimed in glee, taking a blouse from where it was hung and placed it over her to see if it looked good, "Hm... But I think it's a bit too plain. Don't you, Gray?"

Gray heaved a long sigh and frowned at the navy blue piece of cloth in her hands. He didn't like being asked things like those; not that he thought of it as a nuisance. He trusted Lucy's taste in clothes.

But more than that, he thought, when she decides on what she wants, all other opinions don't matter anymore.

"Just go on and pick, already..." he said and turned around. The girl was notorious for being very meticulous in choosing. And since Gray had brought her to a really expensive clothing line, Lucy was being extra choosy.

"I think I'll go for the turtleneck, after all," Lucy said and pranced gracefully across the store.

She stopped at a group of clothes that hung on display. She took a pink turtleneck that had an embroided feather on the left chest. Lucy admired the beadwork around it and on the hemline.

"That one?" Gray asked, frowning at it.

"You don't like it," it wasn't a question. It was a blunt statement.

"Not as much as I liked the silver nightgown next door," he smirked playfully. He had always pointed the topic to nightgowns and bikinis just to give the girl a tease. Lucy knew he wasn't serious, though. The two had agreed on waiting until their wedding night, which they had never talked about and even avoided. For the two, it was enough to be with each other, living under the same roof; exchanging vows was going to have to wait—so will sex.

"Shaddup, Gray," she said, blushing anyway, then diverted to another topic, "How much does this cost, anyway?"

The ice mage watched Lucy flip the price tag; as she saw it, the blond froze with a mouth that gaped open slightly.

"What's wrong?" he asked, looking at the price tag, too.

"F-Fifteen thousand jewels..." she whispered to him in disbelief.

"Huh?" Gray replied, taking the blouse and examining the pricetag himself, "Yeah, that's what it says..."

"That's hardly a reasonable price!" Lucy hissed, "Did they use gold threads to sew this together?"

"It's not a big deal, Luce," Gray said and pushed her toward the counter.

"Yes, it is!" she fought back.

"Don't worry since I'm gonna pay for everything."

"That's exactly why I don't think it's reasonable," she pouted, "You could buy yourself nice stuff with that much money."

Gray smiled honestly at his cute girlfriend.

So in the end, what you do is still for me, he thought.

He pinched her nose and shook it gently from side to side, "Where to, then?"

"The bargain stores, of course!" Lucy said with a toothy smile, "They have the best clothes at the lowest prices."

"Don't you get skin diseases just wearing those?" he doubted.

"If you don't wash them properly," Lucy explained, "Don't tell me you've never gone to bargain stores!"

The ice mage shook his head honestly.

"You're a guy, alright," Lucy said, "I really like bargain stores. You get more for less."

"Why do I get the feeling that I'm gonna be bringing a lot of things tonight?"

The blond only smiled, "I'm counting on you, then!"

Geez, Gray thought, And I really did save up to buy her something expensive, too.

But then again, if Lucy liked the bargain stores so much, they're probably pretty good. After all, he knew Lucy had a good taste in clothes.

"By the way," Lucy said, "The bargain stores also sell those kinds of nightgowns you like so much."

Gray smirked at Lucy's comeback joke and pushed her out of the boutique.

Nightgowns, huh? he thought, Good taste, indeed.
