Day 4: Tremble
I'm an idiot Lucy thought as her hands gripped her arms, fingers digging into pale skin, while her body started trembling from the cold. Gray stood a few feet away, naked as the day he was born, or really any day of his life, and breathing in the snowy air. Lucy stood in a black bikini, slowly cursing herself for every deciding to go with Gray to his old training area in the North. At first she had fully dressed, with her fluffy pink coat, mittens, hat, and boots, alongside a blanket wrapped tightly around her. Then Gray had challenged her saying she couldn't stand outside without any clothes for ten minutes.
Lucy was really going to have to talk to someone about the fact she couldn't seem to back out of challenges anymore. "You know, you don't have to go the full ten minutes." Gray slowly says as he collects all of Lucy's clothes, while watching the blonde. Lucy just glares at him and tries not to curl in on herself as her body desperately wants to get warm. "Alright come on, we're done." Gray said and moved to go.
"Wait!" Lucy hissed as she grabbed Gray "I thought you wanted to stay out here for a few hours."
"I can do that tomorrow." Gray told her.
"But-."
"But nothing, besides I'm just happy you came with me." Gray hummed as Lucy slipped back into her pants, boots, and coat. "Come on, let's go take a nice, warm bath."
"Bath?" Lucy asked and ignored the fact that she had perked up at that one word.
Gray glanced back at her with a smile on his face, before nodding and saying "Ur, always said after you train in the cold, you have to have a warm bath."
Lucy couldn't help the happy hum that left her as she sunk lower into the bath, Gray doing the same thing on the opposite side of the tub. Neither mage said a word, and neither minding the fact that the other was naked and could see the other was naked. Gray had seen Lucy naked more times then anyone else in the guild after all. "Why'd you decide to come here with me?" Gray asked softly, just barley loud enough for Lucy to hear.
Lucy didn't say anything for a moment, she could answer a few different ways. She could say because they're friends, because they're fuck buddies, but that wouldn't be the truth, and she always tried to tell him the truth. Giving him a soft smile she answered in a soft tone "Because I'm in love with you."
Gray didn't answer, didn't look at her as he stared up at the ceiling of the cabin. Lucy felt her heart twinge and almost said that she would leave in the morning when with a slight splash, Gray grabbed her hand in his. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I didn't think you wanted me then to be fuck buddies." Lucy answered and looked away at the last words.
"I've wanted to be with you for awhile actually." Gray admitted "I thought you just wanted to be fuck buddies though."
"We should really talk more it seems." Lucy hummed, while hand squeezing Gray's.
"And maybe have more conversations in the bath." Gray commented, it seemed that they had there best conversations in the bathtub.
Not going to lie, I'm more excited for what I wrote for day 5, then the other days so far. I'll probably post day 5 tonight, so that I can get all of them out before Sunday.
