GrayLu Week 2015: Day One-Legend/Myth
He was the God of Ice. She was the Goddess of Constellations. They never should have met. Why would they have? They had nothing in common. Or at least, that's what they thought at first.
"Yo."
Gray Silver Fullbuster lazily looked up from where he was creating an ice storm in the upper East side of North America. "What do you want, flame-breath?"
Natsu Dragneel scowled. "Thanks for the nice greeting, icicle-pants."
Gray tried again. "What do you want, Dragneel?"
Natsu nodded his head. "Better." He then sighed. "Look, I have business with the Mr. and Mrs. Fernandes in the South. I need someone to look after my territory while I'm gone."
Gray raised a brow. "What do the God and Goddess of Sorcery and War want with you?"
Natsu shrugged. "Hell if I know. All I know is that if I ignore the summon, Erza's gonna kick my ass into the next century. Can't afford that. People are counting on the God of the Sun." He grinned. "I'm sort of a big deal. You know, what with kids and their summer vacay."
And there was Natsu's obnoxious pride. Gray rolled his eyes, but didn't voice his thoughts. "You said you needed someone to look after your place?"
"Yup," said Natsu. "See, I've got a new Goddess of the Sky under my wing. Name's Wendy. She's a cute kid, but I need to make sure someone's gonna look after her while I'm away. No need to help her or anything. She knows what she's doing, most of the time that is. Just need someone to keep an eye on her."
"And why was I chosen?" asked Gray.
"I originally wanted to ask Lyon, what with Snow and Sky being closely related, but he's busy with the Lamia Scale Guild. You're the next best thing."
Gray frowned. Though he was a little bit annoyed at being second choice, he was more concerned about the job offer. Neither one of them would admit it, but the two of them were the best of friends and he wouldn't hesitate to help him. However, there was one problem.
"I don't know anything about the Land of Days and Nights."
Natsu smirked. "Don't care. I want you to do it. Besides, it's not like you have anything better to do."
Gray scowled. He was right, of course. With the arrival of spring, Gray only had time for one more short hail shower before he was in retirement for the majority of the year. "Fine. I'll do it. Need directions, though. Never been to your territory before, remember?"
"Just head West. You can't miss it."
"When do I need to be there?"
"A week from today."
Gray smirked. "See you then."
Lucy Layla Heartfilia gasped, sitting up straight as her heart thudded. She had been peacefully asleep when the premonition came to her.
"He's coming. He's finally coming for me."
I should be working on my other fanfic (FB's Starry Delight) but I've been stuck in a hopeless bout of writer's block. I know what to write; I just can't write it. Ugh. Frustrating.
I know GrayLu Week's already over, but I never got to participate. Simply because I cannot write one-shots for this couple. So I decided to take my time and write at my own pace. Which apparently is dreadfully slow. Ugh again.
Thank you for reading! XD
