Natsu and Happy were paying no attention to Grey and Asuka's conversation.
"Natsu, Grey and I are going to go do something else, okay? We'll see you at home." Asuka said as she stood up.
"uh, Yeah. Yeah sure." Natsu said not really paying any attention.
Grey started walking away from the forest and back into the city Asuka followed him out. Grey and Asuka walked into the city.
"What exactly did you have in mind, Asuka?" Grey asked walking beside her with his hands in his pockets.
"I was thinking we could get dinner, or something." Asuka said smiling lightly and gently at him.
"Okay, well where do you want to go then?" Grey asked. "I don't care anywhere you want to go." Asuka replied.
"Alright, let's get ramen then." Grey said.
"Okay, I actually know a place just down the street." Asuka said to him.
"Okay." Grey replied.
Asuka and Grey started walking together both them had their hands in their pockets. Asuka was looking down at the ground she then looked up at Grey for a moment
"I wonder if he likes me too." She thought to herself.
"Hmm?" Grey asked confused why she was staring at him.
She looked back at the ground.
"oh, uh sorry about that. Guess I got lost in thought." Asuka replied.
"Oh, uh okay." Grey said as he looked down at Asuka for a moment then his gaze drifted back unto the road.
Asuka looked up and spotted the ramen place, she then pointed to it.
"There it is." Asuka said as they were approaching the shop.
They walked inside and sat down on the bar stools. Asuka looked up at the lady working there.
"What can I get you two?" The women asked.
"I'll have the miso ramen with pork please." Asuka replied.
"Uh, I'll get what she is having." Grey said.
Asuka looked over at Grey.
"Have you been here before?" Asuka asked.
"No, this is my first time ever coming here." Grey answered her question.
"I see." Asuka replied.
"Maybe… Just maybe, I could try and make a move on him.. Or confess, at least." She muttered under her breath.
"You say something?" Grey titled his head while asking.
She started to sweat a bit.
"Umm…. No! No, I didn't say anything." Asuka said nervously.
"Okay." He said confused.
"Two miso ramen with pork." The women said placing the two bowls of food in front of them then walked to the people next to them handing them their bowls.
Asuka picked up her chopsticks and began eating Grey did the same.
about 10 minutes later Asuka finished her food.
The women grabbed the empty bowl and walked off.
Asuka looked at Grey. "You done?" she asked smiling at him.
"yeah, I'm full." There was a small amount of food left in the bowl.
The women glanced over to see Grey, she walked up to him.
"Are you done?" The women asked.
he then nodded and she took the bow.
Asuka placed 50 jewel on the counter.
"You ready to go home?" Asuka asked.
Grey didn't notice she placed the jewel on the counter and completely forgot about paying.
"Yeah, I'm ready." Grey replied.
She stood up and walked towards the door, and when she reached it she held it open for Grey.
Grey followed Asuka.
"Thanks." He said as he walked out, she then followed him shutting the door behind her.
They started on their way home, as it had gotten late Natsu and Happy had probably gotten home a couple minutes ago.
Asuka glanced up at Grey then back at the ground, she was in love with him. It had started out a crush she had when he was younger and it formed into love, usually it was easy to suppress her feelings and keep them secret, but tonight was different. She felt like she had a chance, like he might love her back.
Grey glanced down at her.
"What's with her? She seems a bit different today." He thought to himself and looked back up at the road, he saw her house in the distance with the lights on inside.
"Natsu and Happy are definitely back, the lights are on." Grey said.
Hearing his words she looked up to see her house.
"Yeah." They arrived at her house, and Asuka opened the door holding it open for Grey.
Grey then walked in not saying thanks this time, he was tired so didn't think to say it.
Asuka then walked in and shut the door behind her.
"Oh, hey guys!" Natsu smiled at them.
"Hey Natsu!" Asuka weaved at him and smiled.
Grey looked at his messed up bed and sighed. Asuka then looked at Grey.
"I'll fix it, it'll only take a sec." Asuka said walking up to the bed.
"oh uh, thanks." Grey thanked her.
She started making the bed and reorganizing it. It only took her a few seconds she then walled to her bed and sat on it. Grey walked back up to his bed and sat on it as well.
"Thanks, again Asuka." Grey said letting a small smile grow on his lips.
"You're welcome." She said as she laid down on top of her blankets.
"I'm going to bed, goodnight guys!" Natsu said and started walking into the room he was to sleep in, Happy was already asleep.
"Goodnight Natsu!" Asuka said watching Natsu walk into the room.
She looked over at Grey and saw him laying down under the blankets fast asleep.
"Guess he fell asleep already, he must have been very tired. This sure is going to be an interesting week." She thought to herself. As she got under the blankets to go to sleep.
