Is Gray Okay...
Gray
Gray tried to put his hands in his pockets, but he didn't have any.
"Argh!"
The day was going great, best day of Gray's life. He'd lost his shirt, he'd completely humiliated himself in front of Lucy and for some reason, he kept circling back to her apartment. He was standing outside her door again. For about the seventh time since he left the guild.
Man, he had seriously lost it.
"Gray!" Lucy's voice called out to him. He shook his head, nah, there was no way she was looking for him, it was definitely his imagination. "Gray! Gray!" His imagination was really active, Gray raised his eyebrows and sighed, walking away from Lucy's door.
"Jeez, Gray, way to call a girl beautiful then ignore her," Lucy said, her hands on her hips, glaring at him, but smiling as well.
Oh. It wasn't his imagination.
He realized he was gaping like a fish. Just staring at her.
Lucy waved her hand in front of his face, "Hello? Earth to Gray, you in there?" Lucy asked, poking him. Her touch sent a spark of electricity through his body and snapped him out of his freeze.
"Lu-Lucy," he stammered. "What are you doing here?" He asked.
She looked at him like he was crazy. "Uh, I live here."
Gray nodded, of course she does.
"I was actually just coming home to get changed and look for you. You know," Lucy seemed nervous, she swallowed, "So we could go on that date."
Gray stared at her uncomprehending. Date? Date. Oh shit. He asked her on a date.
"Date." He said stupidly. Lucy suddenly looked scared. Gray shook his head. "Yeah. Date. Let's date."
Lucy frowned, "Are you sure you're okay?"
Gray blinked and then smiled, he sort of felt like he was returning to his normal not weird and frozen state of shock.
"Yeah. I'm great. We're going on a date."
Lucy smiled at him, "Wait here," she looked down, blushing, "Maybe find some clothes?"
Gray looked down and saw his pants had mysteriously disappeared as well. He sighed.
Lucy
Lucy felt herself beaming. Somehow, as soon as she knew that Gray liked her the way that she liked him, all of her nervous energy – well, most of it – seemed to vanish.
Possibly into Gray, the way that he was acting.
Lucy grinned, wow, she had that effect on him? All her insides tingled with happiness. She ran upstairs and changed into cute sun dress and sandals, let her hair down and looked herself over in the mirror.
Yeah. She could do this.
She was going on a date with Gray.
And it was going to be great.
She went down the stairs and saw that Gray had somehow managed to find some clothes. He ran his hand through his hair, and straightened his jacket. He hadn't noticed her yet. He looked nervous. Lucy smiled to herself and cleared her throat. Gray looked at her and smiled, holding out his hand.
Lucy took it, and they walked together.
"So, where do you wanna go?" Gray asked her.
Lucy looked at him, "You asked me on a date, and you didn't have anywhere planned?"
Gray grinned sheepishly, "Ah, well, that was an accident."
"AN ACCIDENT?" Lucy felt her heart stop. Did he not want to date her?
Gray just squeezed her hand, "Don't worry Lucy. Asking you wasn't the accident, the screaming and running away was."
Lucy felt herself relax. "Well, let's just go to the park. We can talk, i guess."
Gray looked down at her, "Have you ever been on a date before?" He asked.
Lucy blushed, "Well, not really."
Gray grinned at her and Lucy felt her heart hammer in her stomach, which was a weird feeling because Lucy knew that he heart wasn't in her stomach but there was something weird happening in her body and she couldn't concentrate. That nervous energy must have invaded again, when the hell did Gray get so calm?! She swallowed.
"Well, why don't we start the date the way it would usually end?" He suggested.
Lucy was confused.
Gray leaned down and cupped her face in his hands and Lucy blushed furiously, her heart hammering again. He lowered his lips to her, allowing their noses to rub for a moment, and whispered, "I've wanted to do this for a long time," before he kissed her.
Lucy almost passed out.
Five Years Later...
Thinking back on how they got together, Gray grinned. They were both such nervous wrecks it almost didn't happen. At least they'd always be able to laugh with one another, and now, they'd have someone else to tell their story too.
Gray felt light headed as he looked down at his first born daughter, she already looked just like Lucy did. A blonde tuft of hair atop her head, a little grin on her face. But she had his eyes.
"She's so beautiful, Lucy," Gray whispered.
"Ultear," Lucy whispered, her hand resting on Gray's leg. Gray looked at her, his eyes wide. "She's going to have a life full of love and happiness," she smiled up at him. Gray looked back at his baby girl and held her tightly.
"Thank you, Lucy," he said. Kissing his wife on her head, a tear falling from his eye.
