Hey floopyrocks here again. I decided to make a ClaireXGray story. I know this is random and I just started Electric Blue but I had a lot of inspiration for this story. I hope you like the first chapter.
Edit: Hey guys, I'm sorry to say that I'm going to make this story a oneshot because.. well I forgot all of my ideas that I had planned for this story. So... ya I'm really sorry!
The Past
We walked across the beach. It was winter but we didn't care. I laughed randomly and looked at Gray. "Remember the first time we met?" I asked.
Gray blushed and pulled down his hat trying to cover it. "Sure," he said.
It was two years ago. I stepped off the boat with my bags in my hand. I had come to Mineral Town to start a new life, to become a farmer, to escape the city. I was carefully walking down the dock when I saw him. He was hot. He had a blue UMA hat on and orange hair. I wasn't looking where I was going because I was staring at the cute guy and I tripped. I fell flat onto my face, one of my bags fell in front of me, the other fell into the ocean.
The cute guy ran over to me and helped me up. "Are you ok?" he asked.
I pushed my blonde hair out of my eyes. "Y-Yeah," I said. He plucked my bag out of the water and handed it to me. "Thank you so much," I said.
"Whatever," the guy mumbled. He then walked away.
Suddenly we were at the end of the beach. We turned around and started to head back.
Gray
I was sitting on a bench at the beach waiting for my buddy, Vaughn. I must have fallen asleep cause the next thing I heard was a loud boat horn. My eyes shot open and I saw a large boat at the deck. I stood and got off the bench. Instead of seeing a tall black hat step off the boat and girl with long blonde hair and two bags in her hands. Where's Vaughn? I thought.
The girl slowly walked down the dock then stopped and looked up at me. I saw her blush. I looked away and the next thing I knew I heard a big crash. I looked back to see that the girl had fallen down, one of her bags had skidded in front of her and the other had fell into the war. I ran over to her and helped her up. "Are you okay?" I asked.
I watched as she grabbed the hair in front of her eyes and pushed it to the side. "Y-Yeah," she said. I bent down and grabbed her bag out of the water, then handed it to her. "Thank you so much," she said.
"Whatever," I replied. I then started to walk away but as I did I could feel her eyes drilling into the back of my head. What is it with that girl? I thought.
I was walking Claire home and as I did we passed by the Inn, where my father and my sister worked and lived. I looked at Claire and said, "Remember when I talked to you in the Inn?"
Claire giggled. "Yup!"
I was in my room in the Inn. I was just standing in the middle of the room, thinking… about… well… her. And then she just walked in.
"Hey Gray," she said.
"Hey Claire," I said. "Do you like jewelry?"
"Well ya sure, why do you ask?"
"Well when I'm a better blacksmith I hope that someday I can make some other things like jewelry. Maybe one day I can make something for you," I said.
"That would be cool!" Claire said.
"Don't get your hopes up though," I said.
"I won't. Bye Gray!" She turned to leave.
"See ya Claire."
Claire
I went to go see Gray in the Inn. I walked in his room and said, "Hey Gray."
"Hey Claire," he said. "Do you like jewelry?"
"Well ya sure, why do you ask?"
"Well when I'm a better blacksmith I hope that someday I can make some other things like jewelry. Maybe one day I can make something for you," he said.
"That would be cool!" I said.
"Don't get your hopes up though," Gray said.
"I won't. Bye Gray." I turned to leave.
"See ya Claire."
We suddenly walked past the place where Gray worked, his grandfather's shop.
"Remember when you first yelled at me?" I asked.
Gray sighed. "Unfortunately yes," he said. I could feel his hand tense up inside mine.
I walked into the blacksmith's shop. It was my first day and I was going around introducing myself to everyone.
A loud gruff voice came from the back room. "What? What do you want?" The guy who had helped me at the beach walked out from a room.
An old man followed. "Gray! That is no way to treat a customer! Say you're sorry!"
So his name is Gray. I thought. "I'm Claire," I said. I held my out for a shake.
Gray looked at me like I was crazy. "You're… forgiving me?" he said.
"Well ya," I said with a smile. "Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness no matter how mean they are to me!"
Gray smiled, took my hand, and shook it. "I'm Gray," he said.
"It's real nice to meet you Gray," I said with another smile.
Gray
Saibara was yelling at me because I did something wrong again. Suddenly I heard someone come in. "What? What do you want?" I yelled. I then stepped out to see who it was. I was surprised to see that it was the girl that I helped out at the beach.
Saibara followed behind me. "Gray! That is no way to treat a customer! Say you're sorry!"
Claire stared at me for a second, then said," I'm Claire." She held her hand out to shake.
I couldn't believe it. She had forgiven me? "You're…. forgiving me?"
"Well ya," she said with a smile. "Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness no matter how mean they are to me!"
I smiled. This girl was alright. I grabbed her hand and shook it. "I'm Gray," I said.
"It's real nice to meet you Gray," she said with another smile.
We arrived at her house. "Good night Claire," I said.
"Good night Gray!" she said. She leaned in and gave me a kiss on my cheek which made me blush fiercely. Claire laughed. "I love it when you do that!" I chuckled. Then started to walk back home.
The next day…
Claire
I woke up when someone knocked on my door. "Coming!" I said. I quickly got dressed, then opened the door. I smiled when I saw Gray.
"Hey Claire," he said.
"Hey Claire," he said. What's Gray doing at my house? I wondered. "Remember when I told you that I would someday make you some sort of jewelry?"
"Ya I remember. Why?"
Gray pulled something out of his pocket. It was big and had a blue jewel in the middle of it. "Its beautiful!" I said. "Thank you so much!" I gave him hug and I could feel him tense up under my arms. "Well, see you later Gray!"
"Bye Claire." I walked back into my house.
"Claire-bear? You still there?" Gray asked waving a hand in front of my face.
I nodded.
"Ready to go meet your parents at the dock?" he asked.
I smiled big. "Yup," I replied. I grabbed his hand and we made our way down to the beach.
WOO! It's finally done! That took so long for me to type. I hope you liked the first chapter and yes I did include some heart events. :3 Until next time! :D
