Lucy sat down at her desk and sighed. It had been a long week and she was glad it was finally Friday. She sat back in her chair tiredly and shut her eyes, leaning her chair back on two legs. Slowly she drifted off to sleep before her chair falling suddenly woke her. Her eyes went wide as her chair began to decent until suddenly it stopped before hitting the ground and she was left with an intense chill. "You need to be more careful Lucy." Grey said from his place on the large cushioned chair.

"What are you doing in my house?" She demanded standing and seeing the ice that had stopped her chair from falling.

"Honestly?" He sighed. "I was worried. It was a tough mission and I wanted to make sure you were ok."

"But why are you in your underwear?" She shouted.

"What?" He asked looking down at himself surprised.

"Put some clothes on!" She shouted throwing a blanket at him. He shrugged and wrapped himself up.

"I have an idea." He said grinning as he said grabbing her hand and dropping her large fluffy coat in her hands. She looked irritated but slipped it on and put her snow boots on before following him, still in his underwear, outside into the snow. He led her to the water that had frozen over from the cold and out onto it. She clung to him trying not to slip or fall. He seemed to have no problem on the ice so leaning heavily on him seemed to be the right idea. He laughed and used his ice make magic to turn her snow boots into ice skates. She was still terribly wobbly but he dragged her across the ice much more easily.

"What are we doing?" She asked.

"I'm teaching you how to ice skate." He said slipping his arm around her waist. She blushed before sliding and was only kept on her feet by him. "Bend your knees a bit and stay balanced." He said as if it were that easy.

"Anything else?" She huffed. He laughed as they began slowly gliding across the water.

"Ready?" He asked as he swung around so he was pulling her along. She wasn't quite sure how she felt with him leading her by going backwards but she trusted him. "I'm gunna let go." He said as his hands began to slip from hers.

"No! I'll fall." She said wide eyed.

"I won't let you fall." He laughed as he moved along backwards in front of her, no longer holding her up. She was doing it! She was skating! And then she wasn't, she was falling. She was worried about hitting the hard ice but suddenly she wasn't falling, she wasn't skating either though. She opened her eyes and realized she was being carried across the ice by Gray who seemed to be having no trouble skating along the ice in his bare feet or holding her in his arms.

"G-Gray." She murmured blushing.

"I told you I wouldn't let you fall." He said smiling. "Want me to put you down?" He asked.

"N-no." She said blushing further. He laughed and continued on without a care in the world. "It's starting to snow again." She said looking up as the snowflakes began to fall once again. "We should head back." She said shivering slightly. Gray nodded and they climbed back onto the cobblestone walkway. Lucy noticed her skates were gone and looked at Gray with a small blush. When had she started thinking of her friend as possibly more? When had this happened?

"Are you cold?" He asked slipping his hand into hers.

"Well yeah, it's snowing. I'm freezing." She said shivering. He laughed and grabbed both her hands in his, breathing on them and rubbing them to warm her up. She blushed when he looked back up at her. They walked further until they got to her house once again and she was happy to return to the warmth of her home. She took off her coat and turned to Gray who was brushing the snow off his bare shoulders. She ran her fingers through his hair brushing loose the snow and ice that had accumulated there. He blushed but before he could say anything she buried herself in his chest hugging him. Gosh he was so warm. It was weird how warm he was, he was an ice wizard who walked around in his underwear, he should not be this warm. He looked up at the ceiling as he slipped his arms around her waist and let his chin rest gently on her head. When she had finally stopped shivering she went to sit on the large cushioned chair. She realized if she sat there he'd have nowhere to sit so she pushed him down and sat on his lap. "Your magic is so beautiful." She said thinking of the skates he'd made on her snow boots. He laughed and made a delicate rose out of ice, handing it to her. She blushed admiring its stunning intricacy. She looked around and kissed him on the forehead. His hands were suddenly holding her tight against him on her lower back as he pressed her back to the floor and crouched over her. She felt her face turn bright red.

"You're beautiful." He said as his hands supported him on either side of her head and his knees were on either side of her hips.

"G-Gray." She stammered.

"I won't do anything you don't want." He said starting to move back. She grabbed his arms and pulled herself up to kiss him. He slipped his hand into hers, lacing their fingers and pulling her arm off to the side while her other one rested on his hip.

"I want to." She said. He smiled and kissed her again. "Let's not do this on the floor though Gray." She laughed. He nodded and carried her to the bed.

"Anything for you." He whispered.
