What's up, guys? Hope you're having a good time! ;) Anyway, Lucy's dream is kind of saddening to me. Not my best work. The original plan was to copy paste from my previous works that I didn't publish. But it turned out to a boring dream. So, I ended up with this simple dream. And for those of you who are wondering if I'm the author of the "Gray-bear and Honey" story… I am. Btw, thanks for your reviews.
~In Lucy's Dream~
"Gray-bear, do you really have to go?" I told Gray while pouting. We've been dating for about 5 months. And we usually ended up going on missions together but it was different this time. Master Makarov told him that he had to this specific mission all alone.
"Yes, honey. I'm sorry but I need to go." He said while putting his stuffs in his luggage. I sat beside him on the floor leaning my head on his shoulder. He zipped his bag and put an arm around my waist. I snuggled closer to him.
"I'm gonna miss you." I stated then closed my eyes hoping that we could stay like this forever.
"I'm gonna miss you more." He kissed the top of my head. I felt him move and grab something. I opened my eyes and found a bolster pillow in front me.
"A bolster pillow?" I questioned him.
"Well, I know how much you love hugging me when we're sleeping. I don't want you to miss me too much so I bought this for you. It's kind of my substitute." He gave me the pillow. I hugged it tightly and gently put it on my bed missing Gray's warmth around me.
"Thanks, Gray. I love it." I went back to him and kissed him on the cheek. He kissed me back while grabbing his luggage. He headed to the door bidding his farewell.
"Bye, Honey." He stopped in front of the door and saluted to me.
"Don't you think it's getting hotter?" I sexily sat on the edge of the bed swaying my hips slowly. Then, I crossed my legs letting my skirt hike up a bit. I let my straps fall down on my shoulder while fanning myself. I gazed at him seductively. I wouldn't let him go that easily.
"I think I need something cold." I emphasized on the word cold. His eyes widened a little bit but went back to normal easily. What happened next was a huge surprise to me. He gave an eyes-crinkling smile to me.
"Bye, Honey!" He walked away closing the door behind me. I started to wonder why my seduce-the-guy plans never worked. Oh well. I lied on the bed hugging the bolster pillow toward me. It still has Gray's scent around it. Then, I found myself fast asleep.
Time Skip...
When I woke up, I heard some noises in my bedroom. I quickly opened my eyes and jumped out of my bed. I saw Natsu and Happy rummaging through my fridge.
"Yo, Lucy!" Natsu greeted still having a piece of chicken in his mouth. This was one of those days when I wished Gray was there to beat up Natsu for me. 'It's kind of my substitute.' I reminded him say. I looked at the bolster pillow and grinned evilly. I grabbed it patiently smiling at Natsu and Happy. Soon, I grabbed it and hit the bolster pillow to Natsu.
"Get out of here, Natsu!" I shouted still hitting him with the pillow. I didn't know how it happened but I sent Natsu and Happy flying out of the window with the bolster pillow. I looked down on the street and saw Natsu and Happy on the road lying unconsciously. I looked at the pillow then sweat dropped.
"Sorry, Natsu!"
~End of Dream~
Lucy's P.O.V.
I felt someone shaking me up gently. I opened my eyes slowly and looked round my surrounding. Looks like I was still in the train. The perverted old guy was still there. As I turned my face to my right side, I bumped my nose on somebody else's nose. I blinked my eyes a few times and quickly realized that it was Gray's nose. Our faces were only an inch apart. I felt myself turn red. I hastily looked down and noticed that our arms were tangled together and one of my hands was intertwined with his. I stood up untangling myself from him.
"We're here." He said while he took our pieces of luggage under our seat. He gave mine to me while he carried his with one hand. We went out of the train taking no notice of the old perverted man. Once we were out, Gray glanced around looking for something. Suddenly, he took me by the wrist and walked towards a dark alley. We walked pass by a huge mob of people in the train station. Gray unexpectedly quicken up his pace. I stumbled at first but swiftly followed up with Gray's pace. Soon enough, we reached the dark alley. Surprisingly, it had a huge space for an alley. Gray led me to the back side of the alley. We stopped and he let go of my wrist turning around to face me.
"Gramps told me to give this to you. He said that you should call on that spirit without many people around." Gray said in a low voice. He took out a silver key from his pocket then gave it to me. I examined the key and noticed that I wanted this key since I was a child. I was jumping up and down due to the excitement. Gray just backed away and looked at me confusedly. I stopped from jumping.
"Gate of the Horse! I open thee, Pegasus!" I slashed the key through the air. The dark alley began to be engulfed by a bright yellow light. Then, a white horse with wings appeared in front of us. I quickly lunged over it and caressed it with care. It started neighing. I always wanted a pony since I was a kid but daddy didn't hear out my wish.
"Isn't she pretty, Gray?" I said still caressing her.
"Why, thank you." She replied back.
"Lucy, I think we really should go." Gray pointed out. He didn't seem surprised that she could talk. I guessed he got used to it. I mean all of my spirits could talk except for Plue.
"Is the hottie your boyfriend?" She said while looking at Gray. I forgot to mention that almost all of my spirits our out of their minds. Taurus is a pervert, Cancer says ebi even though he should say snap, Loki's a flirt… I could go on for days but I would prefer to stop right now. I still love them, don't get the wrong idea. Anyway, I guessed she was the type of spirit that would quickly say what's on her mind.
"Ugh… No. He's just a friend" I calmly said. On normal occasions, I would shout and blush but she reminded me that I have weird spirits. I stopped hugging her and stood beside Gray. He had his arms crossed over his chest.
"Really? It seems to me that you like each other. The way you look-" My eyes went wide. I felt Gray get tense a little bit. I panicked my way in front of her hiding my blush. Then, I forcedly covered her mouth with my hands. Muffles could be heard in the dark alley.
"Could you stop talking?" I asked her kindly. She stopped talking as I removed my hand from her mouth. I gently patted her nose as a sign of gratitude.
"Okay! Let's make the contract!" I clasped my hands together.
"When are you free?" I asked her.
"Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday but I'll be free anytime to have fun with your not boyfriend friend." She stated naturally while winking at Gray. Gray made no move. He just stood there looking bored. He really could handle fan girls well. I remembered our mission in Galuna Island. All of the girls were all over him. I chuckled at the thought which earned me with a weird look from Gray.
"Nothing." I said to him. "Anyway, today's Sunday! Yosh! Let's go." I made my way to Pegasus' side. I was just about to sit over her when I felt Gray's hand over my wrist.
"I don't think so. You're wearing a skirt. I'm going to drive." His voice was soft and caring. I took a step to the side to make way for him. He move to her side and mounted over her with grace. In no time, Gray was sitting over her comfortably.
"You're turn. Come closer to me and face the other way." He calmly said. Trusting Gray, I did what I was told. I walked closer to him and turned around to face the wall. Abruptly, I felt his two strong hands hold on my waist then, lift me up like I was just a mere stuff toy. He sat me down on his back turning his body slightly to make sure that I was sat properly. Once I was on her, Gray fixated his face on the front.
"Hold on to me." He said not even turning around to face me. I wrapped my arms around his waist and scooted closer to him. I could hear his breathing.
"Go, Pegasus." He commanded her. Pegasus neighed and began running out of the dark alley. She started flapping her wings. And we started ascending to the sky. I could feel our incline. Soon, we were already in the night sky. She started flapping her wings faster. I felt the air brushing my hair out of my face. The stars and moon seemed bigger in this point of view. I looked down and saw lights everywhere. The buildings and people were hard to distinguish. But the lights were beautiful. It looked like Christmas lights from here. Unexpectedly, Pegasus descended quickly. I was in a daze so buried my face on Gray's back and screamed out loud.
"KYAAA!" I closed my eyes hearing Gray's heartbeat. Then, he chuckled. I felt the vibration from his back.
"You said 'kyaaa'. Cute." He chuckled again. I buried my face further on Gray's back. I was blushing so hard. I bet my face was red as a tomato. Then, I felt Pegasus safely land on to the ground. I quickly patched myself up.
"We're here." She said. Gray quickly jumped off of her. He walked in front of me and put his hands on my hip. Then, carried me off of her and put me on the ground.
"Thanks, Gray." I said.
"What about me? You rode me all the way here. Is it because you like-" Pegasus complained. Good thing I know what she was about to say next. I was able to stop her.
"Thanks, Pegasus. You can go now." I waved her off. With a blink of an eye, she was gone.
"Lucy, I think you should see this." Gray was staring at front. I followed his gaze's direction and was amazed with what was standing in front of us.
"Wow!" I exclaimed. In front of us stood a huge 2 stories mansion. It has a pond and garden at the front. Over the pond was a white bridge. There were also different kinds of flowers and trees. Bushes were shaped in different forms. The landscape was truly beautiful. Even at night, it stood out so brightly. The building was painted white while the rooftop was painted blue. There was a set of stairs leading to the huge front door. Beside the front door were 2 white columns. Huge windows were also seen. The whole building looked like it was designed from Greek architecture with a twist of modernization. I looked back at Gray to say how beautiful the mansion was, only to notice that his clothes were gone.
"Gray, clothes." I calmly said.
"Kuso! When did that happen?" He said while looking down on his almost naked body. I completely ignored him and admired the wonderful view in front me.
"Let's go inside." I faced Gray, who was already wearing his clothes. I didn't know how he did it. But his clothes appear and disappear out of the blue. I was pretty sure that his clothes weren't from his luggage. I didn't notice him open it. I was just about to comment on how he changed his clothes so fast when we heard a voice from behind.
"You must be Gray and Lucy." A male's voice smoothly exclaimed.
