Gray sat on the seat in front of the piano. He took his left foot and held up a pedal while his right did the same motion.
Really he was tuning it for himself. But no one it. Yet.
LAKI POV
Was Gray tuning that piano? Who is it for? What's it for? Questions spun round in my head as I chewed a forkful of iceberg lettuce and buttermilk ranch.
Mira smiled at me, noticing my blank gaze. You know, she probably deliberately put my favorite combo, cherry tomatoes, and black olives with extra Italian, into my salad out of pity.
Dang.
No POV
Team Natsu walked out from backstage. Now that the others noticed, they were wearing nice clothes.
Lucy had on a pink sweater, a white tank top showing from beneath. Her hair was styled much like a school girl's, two braids dangling from her head. Her white jeans and uggs were amazing.
Erza was, oddly, not wearing armor. She was in a light gray knee skirt, her dark purple halter top hugging her form. Her purple wedges were definitely tying up the outfit.
Natsu was sporting a white polo shirt, black jeans ruffled up a bit. His hair was styled to spike out sharper than usual, while his shoes were a white converse.
Gray was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, navy sweater thickly laying on top. His skinny jeans hugged his long, perfect legs and his dress shoes had slight heels.
They all looked very calm.
Wow. Calm.
The music sounded from the piano, and, to which the guild was shocked, it was made by Gray. His slim, calloused fingers slipped and slid on the ivory keys.
[Natsu:]
All I am is a man
I want the world in my hands
I hate the beach
But I stand
In California with my toes in the sand
[Lucy:]
Use the sleeves of my sweater
Let's have an adventure
Head in the clouds
But my gravity's centered
[Natsu:]
Touch my neck
And I'll touch yours
You in those little high-waisted shorts
[Erza:]
You know what I think about
And what I think about
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing that I wouldn't wanna tell you about, oh
[Gray:]
'Cause it's too cold
For you
Here and now
So let me hold, both your hands
In the holes
Of my sweater
[Lucy:]
And if I may
Just take your breath away
I don't mind if there's
Not much to say
Sometimes the silence
Guides our minds
[Erza:]
So move to a place
So far away
The goosebumps start to raise
The minute that my left hand
Meets your waist
[Natsu:]
And then I watch your face
Put my finger on your tongue
'Cause you love to taste, yeah
[Lucy, Erza, Natsu:]
These hearts adore
Everyone the other beats hardest for
Inside this place is warm
Outside it starts to pour
[Lucy:]
Coming down
One love, two mouths
[Erza:]
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
[Natsu:]
Just us, you find out
Nothing that I wouldn't wanna tell you about, oh-oh-oh
[Gray:] (Louder & Strong)
'Cause it's too cold
For you
Here and now
So let me hold, both your hands
In the holes
Of my sweater
X2
[All:]
'CAUSE IT'S TOO COLD
FOR YOU
HERE AND NOW
SO LET ME HOLD, BOTH YOUR HANDS
IN THE HOLES
OF MY SWEATER
It's too cold.
The performance ended with loud cheers and applause from all the guild. Gray was having a hard time moving his fingers.
The team went outside, Gray complaining all the way. "It hurts," he groaned "Help!". Erza responded instantly.
"De maki la console," she commanded in a foreign language. He immediately lay down, his legs stretching over his shoulders as he pushed himself up.
He ended up with a kick in the face.
From himself.
Laughter echoed through the apartment as they lounged at Lucy's. Drinks in hand, they all toasted to their band and well wishes.
"We are so gonna regret these beers tomorrow," Gray concluded aloud as he downed his Margarita.
Hey there! Been awhile since I posted, huh? I missed you! Hope you enjoyed the chapter! Also, side note, I'll be getting rid of the 'First Performance' part since it's now a multichapter fic! Happy Fall!
