Author's Note:

After my e-mail blew up with a ton of reviews for this fic I decide to make a short announcement.

YES. I'm planning on writing more of these two now.

I'm just really busy with finals at the moment, but I'm going to draft a multi-chapter story for you guys. I don't know if it'll be a different story line or if I'll just continue onwards from this, I have a general plot idea but I can't do anything until my finals are over. You guys can continue to send in suggestions about what types of stories you want to read. I can also do AU's as well.

Thank you everyone for the reviews! (Especially the one dedicated anon who either shared this with about 40 people who enthusiastically reviewed or wanted an update so badly they literally sent in 40 reviews. You pretty much convinced me I need to write more of these two haha)

And since Fanfiction doesn't care for Author's Note only pages I'll write a very short drabble for you guys expanding on the One Shot.


"Thank you for helping me clean this place up." Mirajane smiled as she watched the ice mage put the mop he was using back into the closet.

"It's no big deal. Since I was here late I figured I'd help out." Gray cooly responded. He walked over to the bar counter where the takeover mage finished wiping the counters. "Besides... I'm kind of responsible for freezing half of the guild while battling with Natsu again." A faint blush appeared on Gray's face. Really, that flame idiot should have stayed to help clean up as well, but he was already trying to make-up to Lucy for accidentally setting her skirt on fire.

Mirajane giggled at the boy's admittance. It's not those two fighting and making a mess of the guild was anything new, but she appreciated it when they helped to clean up the mess. "Well, I'd still like to thank you with some coffee at my place."

"Coffee sounds good. Will Elfman join us too?" Gray asked, though now that he thought about it he hadn't seen Elfman in a while. Maybe he's on a mission right now?

"Can you not have coffee with just me?" Mirajane began to tear up, and made Gray start to panic as he apologized and said it's fine if it's just the two of them. Giggling innocently, Mirajane wiped her fake tears away. "I'm just teasing you Gray. Elfman is out on a two day mission so he won't be home. But I'd really appreciate the company."

Gray let out a sigh and scratched his head, relieved she was just kidding. After hearing Elfman would be gone he nodded his head. "Sure, let's get going." He held open the door for Mirajane when she spoke up.

"Don't you want your shirt before you leave?"

Looking across the room he realized he had thrown his shirt off onto one of the chairs while he had been mopping. "Uh... Yeah. I probably should grab that."

While having coffee together, Gray and Mira chatted about things going on in the guild. Gray informed Mirajane about his latest mission and to her continuous inquires informed her about how Natsu and Lucy behaved on missions. He knew as he spoke that Mirajane's matchmaker mind was already at the works.

"He visits Lucy every day? Hmmm... Duly noted."

"I don't know exactly, it just seems like it. I just know if Flame brain isn't at the guild he's usually at her place."

When the two of them finished their drinks and the night wore on, Gray prepared to say his goodbyes until Mirajane stopped him.

"It's gotten late. Why don't you spend the night here? Elfman won't mind if you use his room." Mirajane smiled as she invited the ice mage to spend the night.

"Spend the night? Where's this coming from?" Gray asked, surprised by the offer.

"Do you... not want to spend the night?" Mirajane asked, this time no tears. Only a serious question.

"I don't mind, but I'm just surprised." Gray stated.

Mirjane was silent a moment. She stood up and grabbed Gray's and her mugs to start cleaning them. "I... Don't care to be alone at night." Her voice was soft. Gray hadn't heard this type of emotion in Mirajane's voice since... It then became clear why she didn't care to be alone.

He hesitated before he spoke her name. "Lisanna?"

Mirajane froze momentarily until she put the mugs away. "Yes. And it's hard when Elfman isn't here because I start to worry about him as well." She distantly stared at the mugs as the flashbacks began to play in her mind once more.

Standing up from his chair Gray put a hand on her shoulder to get her attention. "Hey..." She looked into his eyes as he stared back at her seriously. "I'll spend the night." He smiled warmly at the white haired woman who slowly smiled back.

They both had pasts they wished they could go back and fix, but they also knew they both had to move forward. It relaxed Mira knowing that someone else would be in the home with her in case she started to have nightmares again.

"You might not snore as loudly as Natsu, but your clothes lying everywhere will remind me someone else is here." Mira teased Gray. Looking down, he realized he was only in his boxers. Jumping away from Mirajane he scrambled to get his clothes back on as Mira began to giggle.

'Yes, it's nice to have someone to keep you company.' Mirajane thought to herself with her usual happy smile on her face.


AN: Alright! I hope this pleases your GrayxMira appetite for now. I'll get started on more stories later in the future!
