Chapter 7
"You don't want to follow them?" asked Rogue to Sting who is standing silently beside him. Sting raised an eyebrow and look at the two figures disappearing in the distance.
"For what?" asked Sting back.
"I thought you wanted to know about their Lucy," said Rogue. He saw Sting just shrugged his shoulders and grinned broadly. "I think I have a better idea." And Rogue can only wonder to himself what is going on in Sting's crazy mind.

"So, your father's leaving you alone because you woke up late?" Gray asked slowly to ensure Lucy's words to him. The girl nodded instantly.
"Uh-huh, I mean – yeah that's the reason – as you just said," replied Lucy, a little bit surprised by Loke and Gray's sudden appearance in the picnic ground. Behind the couple, Natsu and Loke are continuing they argument on the phone which was delayed.
"Well, okay then," said Gray, who nodded.
"I'm sorry not to tell you before. But Natsu dragged me here suddenly and said that he would introduce me to Wendy and the rest." The blonde girl gave him an apologetic look. Gray nodded and smiled at her.
"I guess they won't be finished any moment," said Gray, who jabbed his thumb in the direction of fighting –uhm – couple in the background for whatever reason. "You want to get out from here? Because I was kinda bored with the two." Lucy looked at him for a few second before nodding enthusiastically.
"I'd love to!" Lucy grabbed his arm happily. After saying goodbye to Lisanna, Wendy, and – er – the two cats that could talk, Lucy and Gray left them and spend the rest of time just the two of them.
The couple walked without direction. They don't know where they want to go. They just follow the roads while enjoying each other's presence. "You know it's like a date. A simply date. Isn't it the first time we walk together outside the school?" asked Lucy cheerfully. She leaned her head on his arm. Gray grinned broadly. What Lucy said before is true. He must be grateful. Walking alone with Lucy outside school hours is a rare opportunity. Whether it was Lucy who are busy or Gray who don't have a time.
"Hey, have you eaten yet?" Lucy shook her head. They both then choose to go to a fastfood restaurant they encountered along the way and order food for their empty stomachs.
"So, how was your day? Was it fun?" asked Lucy, opening large hamburger in her hand and eat it in one bite. Gray just chuckled to see his girlfriend's behavior when he looked at Lucy's lips that smeared with sauce.
"Seriously, Luce. Can you eat slowly?" questioned Gray. He took the tissue provided in the table and wiped Lucy's mouth. The action was immediately made her blush and embarrassed.
"You can't blame me for that. I-I'm hungry!" Gray laughed and shook his head in disbelief. "What are you? A seven years old girl?" Lucy pouted her lips in response. She doesn't like it when someone called her childish – though sometimes her attitude indicates otherwise.
"You haven't answered my question yet." Lucy tried to change the subject. Gray shrugged his shoulders as if he was not interested in the question.
"Nothing special. It's a boring day. But I guess not anymore because I get to spend time with you now," said Gray honestly.
"You are so melodramatic, Fullbuster!" said Lucy while laughing. He really like the sound when she was laughing. And the smile – well, it's so innocent and gorgeus. "What about Loke's mom performance? Is it good? You must miss me so much because I didn't there, right?" teased Lucy in delight.
"Tch, you know me so well." Gray is trying to sound annoyed by her teasing. But he continued, "Well, it was a good show. But I'm a little bored there. Oh by the way, I met Loke's old friend,"said Gray, remembering the meeting with Rogue and Sting.
"Oh yeah, who?" asked Lucy who became interested in the direction of the conversation. She squeezed her burger wrappers and drink a soda.
"Well, the one named Rogue - he was flat and expressionless -" Gray said.
"Like you?" cut Lucy. Gray glared at her but she ignores him. "I'm not like that!" protest Gray.
"Yeah you're right Fullbuster! You don't like that when you're with me. Oh or if you have a fight with Natsu," pointed Lucy that can't be denied by Gray. Lucy knew exactly who her boyfriend is. He is like a walking human-ice sculpture himself. Sometimes he can be very cold and expressionless. But he also could melt the ice – if only for Lucy.
"Alright, alright. Whatever you say," said Gray, who gave up with the argument. Lucy just grinned widely at him. "So, who else? The one is Rogue. Is there someone else?" asked Lucy.
"Oh yes, and the other man, he's from a family that infatuated with my father's artwork – I guess –"
"Oh, really?" interrupted Lucy once again which makes Gray raised his eyebrows. "So, you met with one of your father's fans I guess. But fortunately he's a man. If not, you should not be seeing him again Gray!" Gray shuddered to see Lucy's threatening face. Well, all the girls - even though such a sweet like Lucy – could turn into a monster when they're jealous.
"HAHA calm down. I would not be like that. As you said fortunately he's a man. His name is Sting –" Lucy choked on her soda instantly after hearing the cursed name. Gray deftly patted her back to relieve the cough. She was trying to digest what Gray had just said seconds ago.
Wait a minute.Sting? Really? Is he Sting Eucliffe? Oh no! This is bad.
After the cough subsides, Lucy turned back swiftly toward Gray. She glared at him for a few minutes which makes him a little startled. "I changed my mind. You may not see him again!"
"Eh, what –"
"You just can't, okay?" Lucy stood up from her seat and left a dumbfounded Gray. Immediately the young man caught up and walked beside her.
"Hey, Lucy! Wait for me. Why are you acting like that?" asked Gray, who started curious about Lucy's attitude that change very often. Lucy paused in her track and looked at him in regret.
"Gomenne, Gray. I don't know what happened with me. I guess I'm just – uh, jealous?" said Lucy, trying to find excuses. It tooks a long time for Gray to understand her statement. Only the sound of the wind around them that makes their circumstances more awkward.
"With a man?" Gray stared at her in disbelief. If Lucy was not shocked by the current thing, maybe she would laugh out loud at Gray's weird yet innocent expression today.
"Er - yeah that's it. Um, you know now there are many people like that –" said Lucy, who started playing her hair nervously. Okay, now she thinks that she hits his nerve because she can see the corner of his mouth started twitching.
"Seriously Lucy? You think I'm gay?" Gray lowered his voice as he said 'gay'. He crossed his arms and turned away from Lucy. Sometimes Lucy's action didn't make sense. How can she accuse her boyfriend as a gay? And now she was jealous with a man? Well, it's on Gray's mind because he doesn't know the truth. Lucy almost laughed at his words. He could be very funny when someone upset him in purpose. However, she tried to restrain it. Lucy feels sorry for what she said and was trying to apologize.
"Oh, come on Gray. I didn't mean to upset you. You know - er – I'm in my period now and maybe I'm carried away because my thoughts were not normal today," Lucy tried to look into his eyes but he ignored her. He pursed his lips like a child.
"Oh, come on, my cute little Gray-sama. You're not mad at Lucy, right? If you're angry then Lucy would be very sad," said Lucy with a spoon- fed sentence she made up herself. Actually, she was disgusted to say something like that, it sounds like Juvia. And that is a bad thing considering how Lucy really didn't like her in the first place.
"You promise not calling me something like that anymore?" Gray muttered.
"Pinky promise, honey!" Lucy said with pleasure. Gray finally looked at him and grinned. "Good." Lucy grinned back at him and leaned into her boyfriend's strong arm again. They start walking again until late arriving somewhere when the sun will leave the sky.
"You sure you don't want me to walk you home?" asked Gray, who stops around the small park where Lucy met with Natsu. Lucy just shook her head. "I'm fine. I can walk by myself. Moreover, it was late. You also have to go home."
"Oh, all right then," said Gray, who was a little disappointed by her answer but didn't say it. "Um - if that so then I'd better go now." Maybe when he got home, Ur will definitely kill him for running away from home. Gray moved away and left Lucy before she stopped him in his track.
"Um, I'm sorry about earlier," said Lucy. "Uh, I mean be careful on your way back home." Lucy stared at his dark blue eyes that iluminated the orange sky and in an instant she can't help herself but drowning deeply into it. His eyes seemed to reflect the color of his life. It have something deep like a secret that Lucy didn't know about it. Gray is the type of person who doesn't have much to tell about himself.
He is very cute, hot and handsome. Heck, he was perfect. Lucy couldn't help but falls deeply in love with her everyday – now that she thinks about it. She looked over his lips. What's it like kissing a guy? His first kiss was captured by Sting. But what it was like kissing Gray? Oh, Lucy yo're such a pervert for thinking something like that. What will her father do if he knows that his daughter is kissing a boy?
Like I care! thought Lucy.
"Lucy?" said Gray, trying to get her attention. "What's wro –" Once again Lucy interrupted his words for a third time, is it? (I lost my count). But this is really in an unusual way. What did she do? She reached up to have the same level as Gray and kissed him full on the lips.
Gray doesn't know what happened, but Lucy and his lips stick to each other now. Their bodies were so close she could feel her breast that attached to his body. It took a few seconds for him to realize their position. Lucy had one hand behind his neck and another one on his hair and play with it. When she wanted to end it, Gray took over and kiss her back. He hugged Lucy's waist to keep her away from him. She was a little bit surprised yet she opened her lips slightly and gives what he wants. They kissed for several seconds before broke it away with a bright red face. Lucy just looked down at her feet and Gray turned his face away.
"Um, you – go home – uh, be careful Gray," Lucy said haltingly. She did not know what to say correctly. "Be careful – uh I've said it already – I mean, er, good night." Gray took a step closer and kiss her hair. Lucy blushed but she was really happy now. They were not on their plain relationship again, because Lucy finally show him that she loves him too.
"Good night, Luce." With that Gray walked away and left Lucy. The girl was walking home to her apartment, but not even she removed her finger from her lips that still feels hot. Heck, most of her body can still feel the warmth that radiated from the man. Her heart was still pounding loudly until now.
"Uh, I guess I will not be able to sleep in peace tonight."

Lucy is sitting in her chair in the classroom with the newly arrived Gray. Looking at him, her face immediately turned red. Before she could say something to him, Gildarts gets into the classroom and announced that they will acquire two new friends today.
New kids? Hm, I don't think it was a big deal.
How wrong Lucy's thought when she saw who was coming from behind the door class. A handsome man with a jet black hair and a pair of red eyes that could melt anyone who saw it. His face was flat and expressionless. He did not even look alive, like a walking mannequins instead.
But that's not what made her shock, dumbfounded, and unable to speak. A man who gets into class next after the mannequins makes Lucy's heart stopped instantly. She knew that smug and arrogant expression.
Blond spiky hair. Blue eyes. Mischievous grin on his face. His casual style. His body language seemed to say that he is the master of this world.
Sting Eucliffe. What is he doing here?

a/n : What a late update! Sorry for that. But I'm busy with my class and homework and I hate it a lot. I'm trying to update the rest of my story as soon as possible, but no promises! Huhu.
Well, special thanks to :
emma-nyaaan : Hello there, you're an Indonesian, right? I read your review in Bahasa on my other story. Hehehe. Thanks by the way for liking my story.
You're right. Maybe I got bored with the usual love rival for Gray so that's why I put Sting here. I love him but maybe I'll make him a little bit evil in this story (sorry for Sting's fans). Yeah, and thanks for the suggestion about Rogue. I'll try on making it but later on different story maybe.
Once again, thanks and salam kenal emma-nyaan :D
lalamnmgirl : Thanks again for your support. Mind to review more on this chapter ? HA HA HA :P
KaraIce : Thanks. Hope you enjoy this chapter :D
