Hey Fairies! My submission for Day 2 of Grayza week! Enjoy!

Prompt: Hero

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail.

3rd Person's POV

"Let me go!"

Gray thrashed in his magic-proof chains.

"No way," the dark wizard sneered.

Gray had taken off on a solo job to take down a small dark guild called Nightmare Tarantula. The job was supposed to take a day or two. Maybe three.

He had been caught off guard by one of their members and had been taken captive. Great. Just great. It was a solo mission, so there would be no help coming his way. Plus, Natsu would probably not even come after him, like he did with Macao. Gray was alone.

I've probably been out for 2 already, he thought. He sighed, wishing someone could come after him. Heck, I'd even go for Juvia at this point. At least she would've came to save me.

Gray threw himself at the dark wizard, desperately trying to land an attack. But the wizard simply laughed and backed up a bit.

"Idiot," the wizard spat. "You're in chains. You can't get to me."

"I'll free myself," Gray spat back. "You'll see. Because I'm a —"

"Yeah, yeah." The wizard snapped his fingers. "You're a Fairy Tail wizard. Obviously. Who cares."

The Ice Make mage growled. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT! Ice Make: Hammer!"

Magic sparks flew from Gray's hand, but nothing came out.

"Hahaha!" the wizard laughed maniacally. "You dumbass! Those are magic-proof chains!"

Gray stopped thrashing. "Maybe you're right. But I will break out. And that's a promise."

The wizard smirked. "I'd like to see you try." He turned his back on the struggling Gray and flipped a hand out in farewell.

"Goodbye Gray Fullbuster," he called. "Have a wonderful evening."

"YOU'LL PAY!" he yelled as the door closed.

The Ice Make mage growled and thrashed in his chains.

"Man, I'm so pathetic," he said aloud. "I get captured by some lowly guild and now I'm stuck in these chains. I'll probably die here too. Some Fairy Tail wizard I am."

He scowled. Maybe I should try and sleep, Gray mused. He shut his eyes and just hung there. Just as he was about to doze off, there was a loud crash. Gray's eyes flew open.

"GAHHH!" a voice yelled. "YOU DEMON!"

Demon? Could it be…?

"SHE'S TRYING TO GET TO THE PRISONER! SOMEONE STOP HER!"

Yep. Most likely. No doubt.

The door flew open and a familiar scarlet haired woman in armor stood there.

"Erza!" he yelled.

Her eyes widened in relief. "Gray! Thank goodness you're safe!"

Erza ran over to him.

"Erza, I'm trapped in these chains. They're magic proof. You need the keys," Gray told her urgently.

The Requip mage smirked and held up a key chain.

"These?" she asked dryly.

"Help me!" Gray yelped.

Erza wasted no time in unlocking the locks. Gray jumped free of his chains and massaged his wrists.

"God, those hurt," he grumbled.

"Are you okay?" Erza asked.

The Ice Make Mage gazed at the scarlet haired teen. Her eyes held such concern, Gray thought. For me.

"Yeah. I'm fine," he reassured.

"Oh thank goodness," Erza sighed.

To Gray's surprise, the Requip Mage threw her arms around Gray, pulling him into a hug.

"Don't do that again," she whispered. "You had me worried there."

Gray's eyes widened, but softened considerably.

"No promises. I am a Fairy Tail wizard," he smirked.

Erza pulled away. "Yes, that is true," she conceded.

Gray grinned at her and rested his forehead against hers. Erza felt her face heat up.

"Thanks for coming," he said softly. "You're a hero Erza."

The redhead's eyes widened by a fraction. She then blushed slightly. Damn, how was he able to make her feel like that?

"I'm your hero, right?" Erza teased playfully.

"Yeah," Gray muttered into her hair, as he had pulled away and rested his face in her hair. "Something like that."
