Previously:
"People are saying that you and Gray have started dating, you two are dating right?" Lisanna said as she watched Lucy's expression turn from being confused to being flustered, just as Lucy was about to reply and say no to the fact that she wasn't dating Gray a certain raven haired teen walked up from behind Lucy and wrapped his arm casually around her neck.
"Yeah I'm dating Luce, is there a problem?" Gray said casually making a weird sensation up throughout her entire body as Gray said the words 'yeah I'm dating Luce'.
Lucy looked away from Lisanna as she had a flashback about a certain blond haired teen…the person who had hurt her before…'he' didn't care about her…
Continue:
Gray at Lucy and noticed that she had a sort of glum expression on her face which made him somehow turn a little white as he realized that she had taken his little joke further than he had thought, BUT HE DIDN'T THINK SHE"D BE UPSET HEARING HIM SAY THEY WERE TOGETHER.
Gray back away from Lucy and pat her on the head softly making the blonde turn around as she looked up at him to see he had a smile on his face.
"Hey I was only joking Luce" Gray said as he ruffled the blondes hair while Lisanna laughed a little as Natsu shook his head with a sly smirk on his face.
"I..I know...It's just that I don't want anyone joking around with me like that…" Lucy said as she rubbed her arm feeling very uncomfortable with telling her new found friends why she was upset.
"Well don't worry about it, Gray just likes joking around with others like that" Levy chimed in as she came up from behind the girls.
Gray didn't know but something in his chest began to sting and it wasn't like a normal pinch, it was like something was poking his heart with the tip of a knife and after hearing Lucy say she didn't like it when people joked around with her like the way he just did it made him feel terrible.
After catching up a little with what was going on in their classes the teens decided that it was best to get to class before their teacher got mad and decided to mark them tardy.
While Gray and Gajeel sat in the back of the class and chatted about the soccer game that was coming up that week the girls were all talking to Lucy and were LITERALLY tearing the girl apart with questions as to why she had left Pegasus High.
"Hey Lucy why did a rich girl like you even decide to leave Pegasus High?" Cana asked as she drank some apple juice from her bottle (It's really just beer that she snuck into the school XD).
Lucy felt a taken back by the question that Cana asked her and it wasn't like she just couldn't leave it unanswered either. Sighing a little Lucy drank some water and looked over to Cana and noticed that the rest of the girls were also interested in what she had to say.
"W…Well I left Pegasus High because of a guy that had dumped me…" Lucy thought to herself as she looked at the girls that seemed to be eager of knowing what it was that she was thinking about.
Lucy snapped out of her thoughts when she got a pat on the head from a man standing behind her, it seemed a little familiar and it felt warm.
"Hey if she doesn't want to talk then don't force her to" Gray said as he ruffled the blonde's hair as he sat down next to her.
Erza winked at Cana who nodded her head as she turned to look at Gray who had a dumbfound expression on his face as he looked at her. He didn't seem to catch onto the fact that Erza had told Cana through her wink that she thought Gray was a great match for Lucy.
"Hey Erza I got the cake that you wanted me to make for you yesterday just like I promised" Mira said happily as she placed a plate with cake in front of Erza as she took her seat next to Lisanna who gave her sister a hug.
"Thank you Mira this is just what I needed to deal with the pressure I've been getting from the council" Erza happily said as she grabbed a spoonful of Strawberry cheesecake and stuffed it into her mouth.
It might not have been apparent but Lucy was feeling a little sad just thinking about 'him' that son of bitch who took her heart and shattered it in front of her like if it was nothing more than a tool, she couldn't help but let a tear fall as she relived the moment when 'he' kissed someone else in front of her as if she didn't exist.
Gray saw that tear, the tear that left Lucy's eye and traveled down her cheek to the edge of her chin as she stared into oblivion and what it was that Lucy was thinking was something Gray could only imagine was painful even for someone with an ego like his.
Lucy felt something warm touch her cheek and placing her hand on whatever it was that was touching her she could feel something firm yet so gentle, Gray's hand cupped her cheek as he wiped away the single tear that escaped her eye.
It was like time had stopped for the two as they both looked into each other's eyes and nothing seemed like it stop this beautiful moment and if only for a second, Lucy was able to see Gray's midnight orbs again while Gray for the first time gazed on Lucy's brown orbs as she two smiled the way he did as he leaned a little closer to her…almost as if he was about to kiss her…
"OMG!" Cana squealed as she and the rest of the girls noticed Gray lean forward to kiss Lucy.
"GRAY-SAMA!" Juvia shrieked in horror as she watched the two teens almost kiss while transfixed on each other's gazes.
Lucy, as if possessed by something quickly turned her head letting Gray plant a kiss on her cheek making every girl (except Juvia) sigh as they sat back down in their seats while Juvia hiccup from swallowing down the fact that Gray almost kissed Lucy.
Lucy sighed in relief while Gray seemed to mentally kill himself as he tried to process what it was that had just happened, He had almost kissed Lucy! Someone he just met! He didn't know what he was thinking but he knew one thing was sure, his heart was racing as if he had just run a marathon!
Gray sat down at the other side of the table where all of the guys were seated at and was welcomed with some cheers as he fellow classmates and friends pat him on the back for failing to kiss Lucy on the lips. One thing was for sure and that was that these guys weren't going to let this go for a long time, Lucy on the other hand couldn't help but giggle as she shook her head and went back to talking to Cana and the rest of the girls.
After school:
It was already half past four and Lucy was heading to her locker to put away the binders that she wouldn't be needing to carry home in her book bag and lately she had been finding it very comforting to walk home instead of getting a ride from someone.
As she grabbed a text book that she would be using for homework that night (curtesy of Mrs. Evergreen) Lucy smiled to herself as she began to think about what had happened during lunch. What was it that made her gaze into Gray's eyes? Those midnight blue orbs that seemed to posses her as she looked into them and why did Gray lean in to kiss her? Many thoughts ran throughout Lucy's head as she stood there in the hallway thinking to herself as teens walked by her.
She shook her head and made her way to the entrance of the school as she thought to herself "Gray did seem kind of cute at lunch".
On her way home:
It was oddly very quiet in the streets of magnolia and Lucy for one actually liked it seeing how she had just spent her entire day in school with boring teachers that she couldn't help but find very annoying.
Lucy thought about what she was going to do when she got home and she wasn't going to lie about the fact that she hated going home and not because she lived alone or had a good home that her dad payed for, she was bored, yes the rich girl Lucy that had a lot of money got bored home alone.
Lucy pondered on the thought of what she would do when she finally did get home and seeing how she was nowhere near it she thought it would be a good idea to go shopping for a little by herself and buy a dress or two while she was at it.
"Maybe if I were to buy a…" Lucy was caught off guard when she noticed someone ahead of her was checking her out, not in the friendly way either.
"Hey their little lady where do ya think you're going?" The man said as he stepped in front of Lucy and smiled creepily at her as he kept his hands in his shorts.
Lucy stepped back and smiled back awkwardly as she looked at them man and said "Um I just got out of school, I'm heading to the mall, and may I get going now?"
The man's smile turned into a frown as he looked at Lucy as he took a step forward towards her which was really creepy for Lucy seeing how she wanted the man to GET AWAY from her not get NEAR her.
Two things happened in about five seconds, Lucy was pulled back from the man and the man got a very hard upper cut from a teen that ran past Lucy towards the man.
"DON'T EVER COME NEAR HER EVER AGAIN!" Gray shouted at the man as he stumbled back from the punch Gray had landed on his jaw.
Lucy stood in place with her mouth a gap as she was held by someone who had his arms around her, she was only able to get a quick look of the persons face and knew from first glance that it was Natsu who was holding her.
Tears formed in Lucy's eyes as she watched the man walk away after flicking Gray off who was literally steaming, not to mention that he just punched someone's jaw because they got near her, Lucy couldn't be more grateful for Gray and Natsu showing up when they did.
"Hey why are ya cryin for?" Natsu smiled as he looked down to see Lucy clutching onto his shirt as she cried into his chest.
"Hey flame brain is she ok?" Gray said as he took a deep breath to regain control of himself.
Natsu nodded as he let Lucy finish her sobbing while he rubbed her back in an effort to calm the blonde down, he felt a little bad that she had to be confronted by someone like that but he was glad that Gray pointed the situation out from the café window.
Gray huffed and shook his head a bit before smiling as he made eye contact with Lucy who smiled a little as she felt her cheeks flush as she stared back into Gray eyes once more.
"I guess you can't even make it back home without running into some sort of trouble huh?" Gray teased Lucy making her blush a bit as she giggled a bit.
Natsu let go of the blonde and pat her head as she smiled at him which he returned with a smile of his own, Natsu looked at Gray and shared a laugh with his pal.
Gray and Natsu decided that it was best that Lucy be taken home instead of being forced to walk alone like the way she did today, Gray couldn't help but make it clear to Lucy that she would be riding home with him every day from then on.
Lucy smiled and hugged Gray while smiling to herself as she thought about how warm he was…so warm…
