Chapter 2: Date 1

Lucy's POV

I woke up at 5:00 am the next morning. After taking a bubble bath with my favorite strawberry scented shampoo, I dried my hair and styled it into a casual braid running down my left shoulder. I wore a dark pink tank top, that was line with black frills at the top and bottom, and a pair of black skinny jeans. To top it off, I wore a dark maroon blaze and stuck a red star in my hair. I applied a watermelon lip gloss and some light blush. After strapping on my belt with my keys and whip, I grabbed an apple and headed for the guild. I summoned for Plue to accompany me as I ate my apple. I appeared in front of the guild doors at 6:30. I checked myself before pushing the doors open gently.

"Morning!" I whispered quietly as I walked into the relatively empty guild. Mira was at the bar as usual, but the guild was otherwise empty.

"Good morning Lucy! Wow you sure are here early!" the barmaid flashed me her bright smile and I walked over to join her.

"Yeah, I'm supposed to meet Natsu here at 7 for his date in his fight with Gray. Can I get a strawberry smoothie and some breakfast?"

"Of course Lucy! And a date! Wai! Ah, young love~..." Mira smiled dreamily and set a hot plate of pancakes and bacon in front of me accompanied by a tall glass full of my usual pink strawberry smoothie with whipped cream and a cherry on top.

"Thanks Mira and NO! I'm only going on the date because I'm forced to participate in their stupid little game of who I like more!" my cheeks flushed a hot pink and Mira giggled.

"You SURE~ you aren't attracted to them?" Mira coyly said with a smirk.

"Mira!~ I already have someone..." I whispered quietly. I instantly regretted my words and Mira's ears perked up. I cringed as she leaned closer with sparkles in her eyes.

"Oh what's this I hear? You have a crush? A boyfriend?! Who Lucy? SPILL!"

"Sorry Mira, but I should eat the food before it cools!" I avoided her eyes and started eating hastily.

"If I heard right I think I heard that this little blondie has a crush on someone!" I heard a deep male voice behind me and I almost spit out the food I was chewing. I quickly sipped my smoothie to avoid choking and zipped around to see who it was.

"L-Laxus?! W-why are you here so early? And HEY! You're b-blond too!" I stammered as I was face-to-chest with the lightning dragon slayer.

"What, am I not allowed to be early? I just like to eat breakfast here." he acknowledge me before turning to Mira. "Mira, my usual please." Laxus took a seat beside me as Mira placed the same order I had in front of him, replacing the strawberry smoothie with a glass of strawberry-banana juice.

"So Blondie~" Laxus started slyly, "I hear you have a crush and a date with that flamebrain."

"D-don't call me B-Blondie! You're blonde too Baka Laxus! And why would I tell YOU who my crush is?! Especially if Mira is standing right in front of us!" I yelled back grumpily turned to my own food. Laxus chuckled a bit and ate his own food with a continuous smirk plastered on his face.

BAM! I heard the doors of the guild were kicked open. Laxus, Mira, and I all turned our heads to see who it was. I was expecting Natsu with his pink hair, but no. I saw a head of spiky dark blue hair and a half-naked nicely toned chest. It was Gray. He hadn't stripped completely and was wearing a white collared shirt, unbuttoned of course, and some dark blue jeans.

"Yo! It is now 6:55 am and Natsu isn't here yet? Lucy is here though! Hey Mira...Laxus." he waved to us and sat on my other side. "So Lucy? If Natsu isn't her by 7:05 am then I'm going to take you on a date today k?" he winked and I rolled my eyes at how serious he was taking the challenge.

"Um Lucy, it's already 7:00 am." Mira announced and I sighed.

"This is Natsu we're talking about here. He's gonna be late like always." I laid my head on the table and sighed.

"Heh, stupid flamebrain. He's never gonna make it. And then it'll be MY turn to shine and get an advantage for you Lucy! You have to choose me! I mean is there anybody else who is hotter than yours truly?" Gray smirked and showed off his abs. I blew my hair out my face and grinned.

"Actually Gray, there is someone hotter than you." I stated in a matter-of-factly tone. Mira and Gray both gawked.

"Spill Lucy. NOW!" Mira attacked me with a glare and I sighed, exasperated.

"Think you guys. Use some common sense here."

"Is it really that difficult?" Laxus finally spoke up and he smiled. "Me obviously."

"WHAT!?" Gray and Mira both screamed right when the doors were kicked open.

"Oi, Luigi! I'm here for our date! I know I'm 3 minutes late, but-"

"Sorry Natsu, but I'm busy today. I have stuff to do so I'm postponing our date till next week. you were three minutes late anyways. The moment the clock ticked 7:00 am, was the moment the date was decided to be postponed. I have to go out with Gray first now." I winked and grabbed Gray's arm, who was currently smirking. "And Laxus, you are wrong. You are stronger and truly very attractive, but compared to HIM, you're small fry in my heart and mind!" I giggled at the dumbfounded faces, while pulling a smirking Gray out the doors.

"So I'm the hottest one?" Gray asked me and I smiled mischieviously.

"Nope! You're even SMALLER small fry compared to HIM! Hehe!" Gray pouted as I shook my head. "Anyways, what should we do on our date today? You know I'm grading you on everything you do with me today. Your grade depends how much fun I have!" I cheered.

"Fun?Then I know where to go! Let's go to the Akane Resort we went to before the Tower of Heaven s**t happened!" Gray pulled me along and I smiled.

"Sure! I didn't get to truly enjoy myself last time anyways." We walked to the train station and took the hour long ride it takes to reach the fancy resort. Gray paid for the tickets and hotel room. I called Virgo to get me fancy clothes from the Spirit World and Cancer to put my hair up. The clothes Virgo gave me were a pair of dark forest green cargo capris with multiple pockets and a tight black camisole that had lace on the bottom to wear underneath a black leather jacket. The shoes I wore were dark brown boots with little heel and my hair was slightly curled to be wavy, courtesy of Cancer, with a matching green headband.

I met Gray in front of the hotel and found him looking VERY hot in his clothes. He was wearing a black hoodie with a high collar, unfolded up, and a graphic white tee underneath. I couldn't see what it said because the jacket was partly zipped up halfway so I could only see the very top of the letters. He also wore dark wash skinny jeans with dark blue Converse.

"You look hot Lucy!" Gray commented with a thumbs-up and I smirked with a light blush staining my cheeks.

"You look hot yourself Gray~. I swear, it's kind of nice to look at when you're not naked." I grabbed his hand and interlaced my fingers with his. His hands were cold, probably because he's an Ice mage, and I let the warmth of my own hand spread. "Let's go on that one roller coaster first! Um, what was it called? Oh yeah, the Adrenaline Chill! It goes SUPER fast and you go backwards on it! Plus there's that huge drop!" Gray was sweating a little when I described it, I could feel it from his hand. I giggled as I towed him along with me.

Gray's POV

The Adrenaline Chill?! That ride is known as the scariest ride in the whole of Akane's park! Oh crap, I'm scared s**t out of my pants.

"Hehe, um Lucy?" I nervously chuckled as she pulled me along. "Shouldn't we start with a calmer ride like the Ferris Wheel or Teacups? Or even one of the calmer roller coasters like Sharp Dagger?" I asked her and she suddenly stopped. "L-Lucy?"

She turned around with her bangs hanging low to cover her eyes. I started trembling a little as Lucy's lips turned upwards in a smile. But the thing about this smile is the fact it was a little sadistic and devious. I gulped and Lucy raised her head. Her eyes had a devious look in them and contradicted her now pouting lips. As she pouted at me, she flashed her eyelashes and leaned in close.

"But Gray~~. I want to feel the thrill of dropping 100 feet and the flash of wind in my hair! The thrill of my life flashing before my eyes! What, are you scared Gray? I thought you wanted to win your challenge with Natsu over my heart?" Lucy's pout disappeared and turned a little seductive. I shivered under her gaze, which was really odd considering I'm an Ice mage who strips a lot. "I'm grading you on how much fun I have Gray and you're losing points. Don't you like me? Or am I too much for you to handle now?"

"N-not at all Lucy? You're very beautiful and sexy, it's just that I think we should start with little rides and gradually..." I cut myself off as Lucy's face turned into a frown when I said 'start.' Her frown grew deeper and deeper as I spoke and I started getting desperate. I'll do anything to keep Lucy happy, even if it means my own life. "Nevermind. Lucy, we'll go onto the Adrenaline Chill, but afterwards I want to go on the Sharp Dagger." I tried to make a compromise and I sighed in relief that it worked. Lucy's face lit up and she nodded happpily, grabbing my hand to drag me to the coaster. Dang! Lucy is one hard chick to please! I just hope I don't lose my life today...I gulped nervously as we got in line. We only waited for 5 minutes until we were directed to a light blue cart and strapped in tightly. I squeezedLucy's hand in fright and she giggled and squeezed my hand in response. I gulped as lights flashed before my eyes and the roller coaster started. We went up a hill and the suspense started killing me. I tried to relax when I heard Lucy smirk beside me.

"Scaredy cat. I thought you were the strongest man in Fairy Tail, Gray~." I manned up as she purred my name and I corrected her.

"Third strongest, not including Master." I admitted and we reached the top of the hill. We dropped and I screamed like a sissy. I couldn't believe it! Lucy just sat there smiling and grinning while laughing.

"Wheeeee!" I closed my eyes and gripped Lucy's hand as she giggled along. I felt the cart start rising again and we went down another short drop. After some sharp turns we rose again and went down another huge drop, smaller than the one at the beginning, and the cart came to a halt. The ride wa sover and I relaxed. Lucy sat there and giggled again as the restraints were released and I stood up, wobbling until Lucy grabbed my arm to steady me.

"Gray, I thought you were the third strongest man at Fairy Tail? And you can't handle this. Wow." she sighed as she directed us to an empty bench and I laid down immediately. Lucy laughed as she sat down and placed my head in her lap. I looked up at her face and she started stroking my hair. My hair was blown back and messier than usual and Lucy's curls were slightly gone. Her hair was still wavy, but it's shine was lost and it looked extremely windswept. When I finally calmed down and manned up a little, I made a snide remark.

"At least I'm not Natsu. Natsu would've died the moment you dragged him onto the ride." I smirked and she met my smirk with a frown.

"Touche...Natsu would've probably destroyed the entire park too." we sweatdropped before exchanging glances and bursting out in laughter. We earned a few strange looks from people walking by, but we ignored them.

"I really, truly like you Lucy. You're easy to talk too and you have a truly kind heart. You're pretty and hot, not to mention. In desperate times, you can be really tough too. You truly have the spirit of a Fairy." I chuckled lightly as she blushed.

"Thank you Gray, but I don't think so. I get flustered easily and try to put on a tough act, but I'm never sure what to do." she bit her lip and I smiled, sitting upright off her lap.

"You might think that, but many of us don't. Anyways come on. We came here to have fun, not have a deep talk. The talking can wait for later. You promised me we could go on the Sharp Dagger now!" I winked and pat her head reassuringly before standing up.

"Oh yeah! But there's one thing I want before that." she stood up and grabbed my hand again.

Oh no! Please Kami-sama! Don't tell her she's going to make me sprint after her again! My pleas were in vain and before I knew it, we were taking off with dust clouds trailing behind us. She abruptly stopped and I crashed into her back, knocking her over.

"Ah! Sorry Gray. I just really really REALLY wanted some!" she giggled and pulled us up. I slightly blushed as her warm hand grabbed mine again. "Will you buy me some?" Lucy had a pouting look on her face and I cringed away. I couldn't refuse her with that look.

"S-sure, but what is it that you want exactly?" she beamed and turned my head to the food stand in front of us.

"Cotton candy!" I saw two columns of the fluffy pure sugar, one of pink and the other blue. "Gray~ I want the pink one! You'll buy it for me right?" she pleaded me with her eyes again and I nodded. She turned to the vender, "We'll take one cotton candy, half blue and half pink please!"

"Of course miss! And because you two look like a cute couple, I'll give you a discount! Instead of 400 yen, I'll give it to you for 250 yen!" he smiled and handed us the the cotton cnayd.

"Wow! Arigato! Gray, if you will!" she took the cotton candy and pulled some off, throwing it into her mouth. I sighed and pulled out my wallet.

"Here you go and thank you for the discount mister." I handed the vendor 250 yen and followed Lucy to a nearby bench.

"Gray! Ahhh, open your mouth!" she beamed and had a piece of blue cotton candy pinched between her fingers.

"Why shoul-" I got cut off when she stuffed the fluffy candy into my mouth. She smiled and threw some more into her mouth.

"Isn't it yummy!? Haha, the way it melts in your mouth feels nice." I swallowed the sugar and frowned.

"It tastes good, but Lucy? You shouldn't eat too much of it, 'cuz then you'll get fat..." she looked at me and snickered.

"Awww, does Gray want more to himself. Don't worry I'll give you more, Ahhh!" she said with a babyish voice and face that pissed me off a little. She had more candy in her hand and I grabbed her wrist and bit the candy out of her grasp.

"Yes I do want more Lucy~" I purred her name and she blushed. "Haha, you look cute like that. Well, now that you have your candy, let's go ride the Sharp Dagger!" I pulled her up and led her to the ride now. The entire time she was picking at the fluffy goodness and I occasionally took some of the blue. She always took the pink.

Lucy's POV 2 hours later...

"We went onto the Sharp Dagger, Defiant Metal, Titanium Bullet, The Loop-de-Loop, the Ferris Wheel and took part in the ball dancing! I must say, Gray, you're actually pretty good at ballroom dancing." I listed alll the rides we went on and giggled at the tired Ice mage. He had ditched the jacket and due to my protests, he didn't strip completely.

"I try." he shrugged off my compliment. "Now what? It's still only 7:00 pm. We have more time to hang out here." Gray and I sat down on a bench and relaxed a little. I went into deep thought and started looking around, when my eyes landed on a big teddy bear.

"THAT! I want that teddy bear! Gray, let's play some games and win prizes!" my eyes lit up and he grinned.

"Sure why not! The game for the teddy bear is just to shoot baskets, pretty easy." We stood up and I dragged him over to the booth.

"100 yen to participate! Make three baskets in a row and you get a choice of one small prize! Make 5 baskets and you get a choice of one big prize!" the game tender explained and Gray handed him 100 yen. Taking a basketball into his hands, I watched as my date grinned. He easily made 5 shots in 1 minute and I gasped in amazement.

"Heh, simple as bribing Erza with cake!" he ruffled my hair as my eyes shined before turning to the game tender. "I'll take the big teddy bear please!"

"Yes, thank you for playing!" he brought down the teddy bear and I hugged it in my arms.

"Thank you Gray! Hmmm, now I feel a bit guilty. I'll win something for you too!" I beamed at him and had him carry the teddy bear while I led us to another game. I chose the quiz booth; it was called 50 questions. We have to answer different questions about one category. I smirked at the game and handed them 100 yen to participate.

"Which category of questions would you like to answer?"

"Magic please." I answered smoothly and surely.

"Okay. First Question: What are the two types of magic?"

"Caster and Holder Magic."

"Second Question: Name 8 types of Lost Magic."

"Dragon Slayer Magic, God Slayer Magic, Arc of Embodiment, Human Subordination, Maguilty Sense, Time Arc, Great Tree Arc, and Black Arts."

"Third Question: Who are Salamander and Titania?"

"Salamander is Natsu Dragneel a Fairy Tail Mage and he is the Fire Dragon Slayer. He is always destroying property. Titania is Erza Scarlet. Her magic is known as 'The Knight' and she can requip armour and weapons at an incredible speed. She is also known as Fairy Tail's strongest female mage, aside from Mirajane who just recently obtained her magic power again"

"Fourth Question: What are the Daimatou Enbu?"

"The Daimatou Enbu, also known as the Grand Magic Games or GMG for short, is competition of the legal guilds to determine who is the strongest guild in all of Fiore. It is held every year in the Domaus Flau located in Crocus. The winning guild also receives 30,000,000 Jewels along with the title of Fiore's Strongest Guild."

1 hour later...

"Fiftieth Question: What is The One Magic?"

"The One Magic is also known as The Essence of Magic. There is a belief among people that ALL magic comes from one source: the One Magic. There are different interpretations of it: Darkness and Love. No one really knows if the One Magic truly exists, or if magic is unlimited to all; but the One Magic is said to be the 'founding father' of all magic."

"Congratulations! You are the third person to have passed this quix game successfully! You have chosen one category and answered all fifty questions correctly! You may choose any prize you like with a limit of four!" I smiled and turned to Gray.

"Done Gray. Sorry it took a while, but you can choose anything now! There can be two prizes for you and two for me!" I beamed at him and he gawked.

"W-wasn't it difficult?" he stared at me as if I just claimed he was my father.

"Not at all. Now hurry up and choose something! We need to get back to the hotel and go to sleep to get ready to head back to the guild tomorrow!" I pushed him to the booth and he nodded.

"Um, then I'll take this!" Gray chose a magic sword. It was light blue and thin. It can change form to any type of weapon you like, but it uses your own magic power to change form.

"Hm? Why that? Can't you just make your own weapon with ice?" I looked at him strangely and he nodded.

"I can, but this isn't for me." he winked at me and I nodded. "I'm also going to take the Ice Lacrima to improve my own magic."

"Mmk. I'm going to take two Platinum Gate keys! The Gate of the Winged Horse, Pegasus and the Gate of the Snake Queen, Cassiopeioa!" I cheered and we took the items.

"Ready to head back then Lucy?" Gray offered his hand to walk back to the hotel. I put my hand into his and our fingers interlocked.

"Sure. I'm tired and we still have the train ride back." I clutched Gray's arm for warmth and he laughed.

"Are you cold? Use my jacket, I don't need it considering I strip a lot anyways." he joked and we laughed together. I put my arms through the sleeves and the jacket was too big for me, but it was warm.

"Thanks Gray. I had a lot of fun today."

"Sure, no prob." we walked on to the hotel in silence, with just us enjoying each other's company. It was a cold night and I leaned against Gray for warmth and comfort. He was warm, despite being an Ice mage, and I felt safe being closer to him.

"Ah, wait here for a moment Lucy. I'll be right back." he led me to a bench in a park and left somewhere. I just nodded and waited patiently, staring up at the sky. I could see the constellations sparkling brightly above me.

"The sky is so pretty at night." I murmured to myself when I felt something hot on my cheek. "Kyaaa!" I jumped up and saw Gray standing there, smiling and holding two cups of coffee in his hands.

"Here. Have something to drink Lucy. It's a cold night and I saw a coffee machine earlier so I bought some." he offered me a cup, which I gladly accepted, and took a sip from his own cup. I kept staring at him in amazement and I didn't bother drinking some of the coffee yet. "Lucy? Hurry up and drink it before it gets cold. Why're you staring at me?" I snapped back to my coffee and took a small sip, sighing in comfort at the warmth of the liquid.

"Hey Gray? I was thinking. Today's the first time you said something was cold. Like I'm freezing tonight, but you're an Ice mage and always stripping yet you said it was cold tonight. Why is that?" I gazed into his dark blue eyes curiously and he raised an eyebrow.

"THAT'S what's bothering you?" I nodded and he sighed. "Well, I'm not cold, but I could tell you were freezing to death so I bought you the coffee. No real deep explanation, and drink the coffee before it gets cold!"

"Oh yeah!" I snapped back to the drink in my hands and I gulped it down. I enjoyed the feeling of the warmth spreading through my upper body as the liquid slid down my throat. "Mmm, thanks for the drink Gray! Let's head inside before I freeze to death." I joked and stood up.

"Yeah, but before you froze to death I would heat up up!" he smirked slyly and I blushed intensely.

"H-how would you h-heat me up if you're an ICE mage?!" I stammered and turned my back on him.

"Oh? Wouldn't you like to know eh, Heartfilia?" I felt him slink behind me and take my wrist in his hand. He wrapped his arms around me and I brought my hands up to his arms. He was icy cold, yet I felt a sort of comfort and warmth in his grasp. I pulled away with a pout and walked into the hotel. We went into the elevator and I was facing the doors when Gray grabbed my shoulder.

"Gray?! What are you d-?" I started until I felt something warm on my cheek. Gray had whipped me around and kissed my cheek. I felt him smirk on my cheek and he pulled away. The elevator doors opened and he walked out.

"Let's go Lucy!" he winked and continuing down the hall to our hotel room. The walk was silent as I slowly followed after him and waited until we were in front of the room. I let Gray unlock it and he pulled me in. I hung my head slightly so he wouldn't see my blush.

"Hey Gray, I'm going to take a shower to warm up k? I'll be done in a little bit." I said quietly and tilted my head up just enough to see him nod. I grabbed Virgo's key and walked into the bathroom. "Virgo, please get me some pajamas to sleep in from the Spirit World."

"Yes Hime." I got into the shower and had the water on as hot as I could stand. I enjoyed the feeling of the scorching hot water batting down my back and I leaned against the shower's walls. I gently touched my cheek and traced my finger on the spot where Gray kissed me. I blushed furiously as I remembered him leaning in and the way he smirked.

Gosh, what am I thinking!? I'm already attracted to HIM! I can't have thoughts about Gray! He's like a brother to me! I sighed and shut the water off. I changed into the light dress that Virgo had left me. It was a light blue color with a white snowflake on the back and a white band across the front. It was strapless and reached my knees. I brushed my hair and checked myself in the mirror to see my hair sticking close to my face and dripping wet. I didn't have a blow dryer so I could only squeeze out the water and try my best to soak the water with the towel. I walked out to see Gray on his bed already.

"You're done Lucy?"

"Yeah. Do you want me to have Virgo get you some clothes from the Spirit World?" I asked him if he needed clothes to sleep in, but he shook his head.

"Heh, Lucy. You know I have an unusual habit of stripping a 's the same when I sleep. I sleep shirtless. It's fine. I'm just gonna take a quick shower and go to sleep." he stood up and walked towards me since I was still standing in front of the bathroom door.

"Oh, ok. Hey Gray?"

"Hm?" I moved to the side a little and waited for him to turn to me. I wrapped my arm around his neck and pulled him down to my height. I pressed my lips softly against his forehead and released him.

"Night. Also, perfect score" I walked to my bed and lay down. After turning the lights in the room off so that the only light was from the bathroom, I pulled the covers over me and went to sleep with a bright blush on tainting my cheeks.

"Good night Lucy." I heard Gray murmur softly and he shut the door.

Gray's POV

"Oh? Wouldn't you like to know, Heartfilia?" I hissed into Lucy's ear and wrapped my arms around her. It felt nice, holding her in my arms and I was pleased she didn't push me away...at least until she pulled away and we walked into the elevator. It bothered me that Lucy kept her back to me the entire time so I grabbed her shoulder and whipped her around.

"Gray?! What are you-d?" her cries stopped as I pressed my lips to her cheek. We stayed frozen like that until I pulled away and the doors opened.

"Let's go Lucy!" I winked and led the way to our room. Heh. I saw her blushing and felt the heat rise to her cheeks. She's so hot and cute, yet so innocent... I unlocked the door to our room and we walked in.

"Hey Gray, I'm going to take a shower to warm up k?" she told me timidly with her head hung down and I nodded as I watched her grab Virgo's key and storm into the bathroom. I sighed and lay down on my bed, thinking about her. I closed my eyes and my head was filled with thoughts of Lucy's blushing and flustered face.

I wonder what she felt when I kissed her cheek. I know I enjoyed the feel of her soft skin against my lips, but I hope I didn't make her feel uncomfortable... I bit my lip softly as I heard her turn on the water. I felt a little guilty about kissing her on the cheek without her consent like that, but I love her. I hope this won't ruin my relationship with her. But I hope she chooses me over that flame-brain. I opened my eyes at the sound of the water shutting off and the door opening.

"You're done Lucy?" I saw her hair clinging to her face a hanging down her shoulders dripping wet before I noticed what she was wearing. She had on a strapless light blue dress with a white strap across the front. She looked pretty hot, but I held back a blush.

"Yeah. Do you want me to have Virgo get you some clothes from the Spirit World?" she offered to get me clothes to sleep in, but I just shook my head.

I smirked before answering, "Heh, Lucy. You know I have an unusual habit of stripping a lot. It's the same when I sleep. I sleep shirtless. It's fine. I'm just gonna take a quick shower and go to sleep." I stood up and walked towards her to go into the bathroom for a shower myself.

"Hey Gray?" I heard Lucy softly call out to me as I passed her. I stopped and turned to her.

"Hm?" I was unprepared when she wrapped her arm around my neck and pulled me down. At first I thought she was going to beat me up for kissing her cheek in the elevator, but I felt something warm and soft touch my forehead. Lucy kissed my forehead before letting me go and walking to her own bed.

"Night. Also, perfect score." she whispered just loudly enough for me to hear and I smiled.

"Good night Lucy." I murmured softly in response before closing the bathroom door behind me. I threw off my clothes in one second, literally, and jumped into the shower. Now being the Ice mage I am, I normally took cold showers, but tonight I decided to take a warm shower. Not as hot as Lucy's, but warmer than I normally do. I quickly rinsed and washed before pulling my pants back on. I walked out and turned the bathroom lights off. I strolled through the dark to my bed and plopped down. I stayed shirtless and didn't bother pulling the covers up. I tucked my arm under my head and , with my head filled with the image of Lucy's blushing face, fell asleep.

A/N: In the end, Natsu came one minute too late and Gray snagged the first date with Lucy. Will Natsu be able to top Gray's performance? It'll be hard and NaLu fans I apologize. I personally love GrayLu so this was easy to write. I don't even read a lot of NaLu's so the next chapter might be completely OOC. Sorry, but the NaLu parts might be extremely hard for me to write. Anyways Review!
