DISCLAIM: I don't own Fairy Tail, Duh.
Shortly after the Battle of Fairy Tail, romance started to bloom and secrets were being revealed. "Mira I need your help with something." Gray asked. "Do you need help with a job request Gray?" Gray quickly looks over his shoulder to insure no one was in earshot, "No, I need help with something about Lucy but you can't tell anyone Ok." Mira leaned in closer trying to conceal her excitement. "Mira I have feelings for Lucy, but I haven't been able to tell her how I feel. Every time I try Natsu or Happy get in the way and if Juvia ever found out she might murder her. So I need your help asking her out on a date with out the others knowing." "Gray of course I'll help and I promise I won't tell anyone, lets meet back here six tonight and we can figure out a plan." "Thank Mira, see ya tonight."
Once Gray left Mira called over Erza, Natsu and Happy and told them what was going on. "Wait Gray likes Lucy!" Natsu Screamed out laughing along with Happy, "How can any boy like Lucy!" Happy yelled in hilarity. "Natsu, Happy enough," Eras demanded punching Natsu in the gut. "Mira we would be happy to help anyway we can." "Thank you Erza, all I really need you to do is get Juvia out of the guild so Gray and I can plan without her finding out." Happy flies over to the request board, he returns with a job request. "Aye, look at this we can take Juvia on this job," Happy hands the request to Erza, "A Lake Volcan attacking a ship yard, this is perfect, Mira let the employer that we are coming, Natsu and Happy tell Juvia we have a job that we need her water magic to do." "Thanks a lot guys that will really help." Erza, Natsu, Juvia and Happy all headed out for the job.
"Gray!" Mira yelled out calling him over to the bar. "Juvia went out on a job with Erza and Natsu so we can talk without having to worry about them listening in." "Thank you so much Mira so do you have any ideas about how I should go about asking her." "Well you can always run up to her and confess your love for her rate in the middle of the guild in front of everyone," Gray gives Mira a nerves look, "Come on Gray be a Man!" Gray looks over and sees Elfman standing behind him, "Mira, you told Elfman!" "I'm sorry Gray but he's my brother and I was asking him about what we should do." Mira said trying to act cute hoping Gray would forgive her. "Ya Gray if you do that the other guys will never let you live it down." Elfman said looking over at guys cheering on Cana while she chugged a barrel of booze. "Well maybe just leave her a note then, write one and I can give it to Lucy when she come to the guild or you can just drop it off outside her apartment." "Maybe I should leave a note and then just see if she shows up or not it would be the easiest thing to do. Ok Mira I'll do it I'll leave a note for her!" "Great, I'll grab some paper and a pen." Mira grabbed some paper and a pen from behind the bar. "Hey you go Gray." He started to write, "Dear Lucy, I can't hide my feelings for you much longer I have to tell u how I feel, you are the single most beautiful, kind and cunning girl I have ever met, since I first met you I know we would be great friends but I never thought I would fall for you. Please meet me at the River Front Café tonight at nine. From Gray." Gray folded the paper and set it done, "Gray maybe give her a flower with it, you know girls like that stuff and it would show her you are a real man." Elfman recommended "Smart idea Elfman, Ice Make Rose!" Gray used his ice maker magic to make a rose out of ice and grabbed the letter and head out to Lucy's apartment, "Good luck Gray!" Mira called out to him while he left the guild.
"After this long day I can wait to get home and have a bath, how about you Plue?" Lucy asked while picking up Plue "Plee," Lucy went inside her building and went upstairs to her door, "Hey what's this?" she knelled down a picked up a rose made of ice and a note. "It's from Gray?" Lucy walked inside and began to read the note, "Oh my god!" Lucy ran over to her communication lacirame and called Levy, "Levy, you and Cana get over here rate away!" "Lu what's wrong is everything alright?" "Just get over here ok!" Lucy yelled into the lacirame and hung up on her. "I never thought this would happen." Lucy said sliding down to the floor, blushing.
"Gray is in love with you Lu, I can't believe it!" Levy said jumping with Joy, "Oh please like you didn't see it coming, hey Lucy you got any booze?" Cana said while looking around the room. "Well Lu look at the bright side you can let Gray read your book now since it is all about you and him." Levy said teasing Lucy. "Look we don't have time for this, it is just passed eight and I don't even know what to wear or what I'm going to do with my hair. Oh why must this be so hard!?" Lucy yelled in frustration, "Lu I think this would be great for your date," Levy pulled out a long tight crimson dress; Lucy grabbed it and went in the other room to change. She came out a moment later wearing the dress, "Damn Lucy that dress makes you look hot, Gray won't be able to resist you" Cana said, Lucy blushed and then took out her keys, "One last thing. I summon thee the Giant Crab Cancer, Gate Open!" Cancer then appeared in front of Lucy, "What do you need, ebi?" "Cancer I need you to style my hair for a date" Cancer pulled out his scissors "alright, ebi."
At the River Side Café Gray leaned out over the railing of the patio, all dressed up waiting for Lucy with a bouquet of ice rose, "It's almost nine I wonder if she is going to show or not?" Gray said sighing. "What do you think?" Gray quickly turned around; there he saw Lucy, even more beautiful then he remembered. "You came." He said laughing under his breath, "I wouldn't miss this for the world." She said, he handed her the roses, "I made these for you, I want sure what flower to make you so I went with roses," Gray shrugged shyly Lucy leaned over and kissed him on the cheek and sat down. Gray to a second to find himself and to stop blushing and joined her at the table.
"Gray to be honest I was surprised when you asked me to come tonight." Lucy said shrugging, "I've liked you for a long time I just never had the guts to tell you how I felled." Lucy blushed and placed the ice rose on the table. "Lucy it wasn't until last week during the battle for Fairy Tail that I was convinced that I had to tell you, because when you were turned to stone my Evergreen I know if something would have happen to you I wouldn't have been able to handle it I don't know what I would do without you in my life." "Gray how long have you felt this way?" Lucy Ask with pure joy in her voice. "Ever since we went to Galuna Island. How about you?" "Well ever since our trouble with Eisenwald, I started to think you were the most san person at the guild, aside from you striping habit that is." Lucy teased. "Oh so you don't like it when I strip?" "I never said that." Lucy said laughing. They had dinner and talked the night away. Sharing storys and feeling connecting on another level one that is more then friends.
"That was awesome, Juvia you're the best, you took down that volcan like it was nothing!" Natsu said with joy as they walked the streets of Magnolia. "Well it is late I'm going to head home thank you for inviting me to come with you, goodnight Erza, Natsu, Happy. "Juvia said as she turned to corner to head home. As Juvia went by the canal that lead to the lake she heard laughter, she turned her head and saw Gray and Lucy on their date. "That whore, she is trying to steal my beloved Gray away from me!" Juvia yelled in anger, She lifted her hand and made a 12 foot wave push down the canal straight at the café. "Um, Gray!" Lucy screamed pointing at the wave; he turned around and saw the wave hurdling towards them. "Ice Make…" before gray could finish the spell the wave hit them washed them down to the lake and deep underwater. Gray saw Lucy struggling to swim so he grabbed her and swam to shore. "Gray you saved my life thank you." Sobbing wet under the moon and the stars Lucy kissed Gray, it was full of passion and it was something neither would soon forget.
