Previously:

"So, you're dating Natsu now, eh?" Gray said. "I never thought that blockhead could get a girlfriend."

"Yeah…why?"

There was an awkward silence.

Gray changed the subject. "Hey, why'd you faint?"

Lucy hesitated. She knew she had to lie. "Uh…I didn't eat breakfast, and I hadn't eaten lunch then also."

"Oh. Well, eat next time! I had to carry you all the way here!"

Lucy smiled. "Hehe…sorry about that. I promise it won't happen again."

Gray nodded. "Good girl." He got up and patted her head.

"…Am I your dog?" Lucy pouted.

"Yup."He bent down to look at Lucy eye to eye. "Ruff." He got up, put his fingers in his jeans pockets and walked out of the room.

"Hey!" Lucy yelled, pumping her fist in the air. "Don't you just run away! I'm not done here!"

Lucy put her hand down and sat there, dazed. She didn't know what to think.


Gray walked out of the school with a complicated face on.

"Grrr! What did I just do?" He took his hands and ruffled his hair up. "I've just made everything a whole lot complicated," Gray murmured, walking off with his hands in his pockets.


When Lucy came home, Erza was sitting on the couch doing homework while watching an action movie packed with blood, thrill, and battles.

"Gosh, Erza! How can you do homework with that?" Lucy said, dropping her backpack on the side of the couch.

Erza shrugged, totally not paying attention to Lucy. "Guess what? I'm paired with Gray for my Shakespeare project. Isn't that great?" Lucy said sarcastically.

That caught Erza's attention. She looked up at Lucy. "What did you just say?"

"Yup. Gray's my partner. Out of all 28 people in my class, who do I get? Gray."

"That's totally horrible luck,"

"I know. Now how am I going to forget him? It's going to be harder now."

"Well, you have a boyfriend. You HAVE to forget."

Lucy was confused for a moment. Then she realized she was talking about Natsu. "Oh- yeah. I know…"


The next day, Mari-sensei, Lucy's literature teacher explained more about the project. She told the class to start talking with their partners and start on the project.

Everyone in the class started to move, scooting next to their partners. Lucy walked up to Gray, who sat in his chair teetering back and forth.

"Okay, you should really stop doing that. You're going to fall, and I'm going to laugh," Lucy told Gray.

"Nah, I'm like a ninja. I won't fall." Gray, said, continuing to tip his chair back.

Before he knew it, he landed on the floor with the chair flipped on its side. "Told you so!" Lucy stuck her tongue out at him, laughing.

Gray rubbed his head, putting the chair back up. "Don't make me use my finger to flick you."

"Wow, I'm sooo scared." Lucy threw her hands up in the air.

Gray took his finger and flicked Lucy on her forehead. She flinched, walking backwards.

"Ow! What the hell?" Lucy put her hand on her head, which was turning slightly pink.

"I wasn't bluffing," Gray simply stated.

"You don't hit girls!" Lucy yelped.

"Well, I just did." Gray shrugged.

Lucy glared at him while Gray bursted out laughing.

Mari-sensei, who was walking around the classroom, stopped at Gray and Lucy.

"Let's stop this flirting and get back to work, yes?" Mari-sensei raised her eyebrow.

Lucy's mouth was wide open while Gray started coughing on his spit.

"What- that's-" Lucy stuttered.

"Yeah- I mean, no- It's not-" Gray said.

"Uhuh," Mari-sensei laughed, walking away with her hand on her hip.

"Well," Gray leaned in, changing the subject back to Shakespeare before it got more awkward as it already was.

At the end of the period, Gray and Lucy decided on what they would do.

"Ok, so I'll go to your house, after school?" Gray said as he collected his books and papers.

"Yup. Here's the address," Lucy took out a piece of scrap paper and wrote down her address. "On the highest level. Come around three," She handed him the paper that had her nice and neat writing sprawled on it.

"Huh? Highest level?" He questioned her, taking the paper.

Lucy nodded. "It's like a condo… kind of- ah, you'll see when you get there. You know what, just wait on the main floor. Okay?"

"Fine," Gray said. "See ya," He said and walked out of the room.

Levy walked up to Lucy. "Hey, so…?"

"He was actually okay… acted normal. Strange huh?"

"Yeah, it's pretty weird."

Lucy and Levy shrugged it off and rushed to their next class, almost late for the bell.


At lunch, Lucy met up with Natsu. "Hey Luce!" Natsu yelled, waving.

Lucy smiled and walked over to him. They sat in the grass and ate their bentos they had packed.

Lucy picked at her food with her chopsticks, moving the food around while Natsu just straight down shoveled everything.

Lucy laughed, laying down on her back and putting the bento to the side.

"Why do you eat like that? It's like your starving. The food's not going to run away from you, ya know,"

"Ay know. Buh ay lig fowd. Dwish is tashtee," Natsu mumbled.

"Huh?" Lucy looked at Natsu with confusion.

"I said," Natsu gulped down his food before talking. "I know. But I like food. This is tasty!"

Natsu held out his bento. "Want to try?"

"Sure," Lucy said. She got up, resting her head in her hands while she had her legs up. Before she could get her chopsticks to get some, Natsu took his and scooped up some rice, beef, and pickled vegetables and brought it up to Lucy's mouth.

She crossed her eyes, looking down at the food. "What? I can feed myse-" While she was talking, Natsu took the opportunity to shove the food in her mouth.

Lucy leaned over with her hand over her mouth. "Mm," She said as she chewed.

She nodded, gulping it all down. "Surprisingly good. Did you make it?"

"Nope!" Natsu smiled. "You want to try my cooking? I'll make you a bento tomorrow!"

"Uhh," Lucy sweat-dropped. Natsu didn't look like someone who could cook. "Nah, it's okay," She waved it off.

"It's fine, I'll make it! I'm sure you'll love it!" Natsu smiled and got his things together. "I better start planning on what to put in it! I'll see you later, Luce!" He said, walking off with a face full of concentration.

Lucy laughed. "Oh boy," Her face turned into a frown. "I hope I don't die from this…That would be very bad." She shrugged it off and finished her lunch.

After school, Lucy walked around town. She still had an hour and a half until Gray had to come to her house.


She tumbled across a library that had big stoned pillars in the front. On a big wooden sign it said: TOWN LIBRARY. She smiled and walked in through the giant wooden doors. To her amazement, her eyes saw rows and rows of absolutely beautiful books. There were winding stairs that went up to the second floor. Lucy could see a few people on the higher floor looking through books and lounging on big round chairs. To the side was a counter where a librarian sat, her glassing hanging on the crook of her nose as she read a novel.

Lucy walked to one of the shelves and skimmed her hand on the book spines. She tilted her head and walked along the row, reading each of the titles until she found a book that looked satisfying.

She grabbed the book and continued to find one more. She took the two books and walked to the side of the room where white marble stairs led up to the second floor. Lucy walked to one of the vacant chairs and sat down, taking off her shoes and folding her legs.

She put one of the books on the coffee table with her school bag and snuggled into a comfortable position and started to read.

Before she knew it, the time was three. Lucy looked at her phone, cursing. She put the books neatly on the coffee table, hoping that someone would put them back for her. Lucy grabbed her bag and quietly ran down the stairs and out of the building, running full speed to her condo.

By the time she got there it was 3:20. Her face was full of pain, as her body gave in to the exhaustion. Lucy could have sworn she just ran a marathon.

Gray sat inside of the apartment lobby, sitting on a grey chair in the corner of the room. He saw Lucy, who was walking towards him.

"Gah, sorry!" Lucy bowed, her face full of sweat.

"Where have you been? Calling me to work on a project, then being late? And what's with the water on your face?" Gray leaned into Lucy's face and caught a droplet of sweat.

"Hey, I said sorry! Plus, I forgot about the time. And ew, don't touch it. That's sweat in your hand." Lucy grinned.

Gray's used-to-be-cool face turned into stone.

"Uh, Gray?" Lucy looked at him, confused.

"GGAAHHH!" Gray yelped. "Sooo not cool dude!" He took his hand and started wiping it on Lucy.

"Uh…" Lucy stared wide-eyed at Gray's hand.

His hand was laid on her chest, on her CHEST. Gray's face started heating up red, realizing what he had just done. He quickly snatched his hand back and looked away, completely embarrassed by the incident.

"Sorry…I'm not a pervert or anything. It wasn't on purpose…" Gray had a deep and depressing aura around him as he bent his head down.

Lucy laughed nervously. "Hehe…its okay…"

"So, are you going to show me into your place or what? We going to sit here forever?"

Lucy realized that they had this "moment" in the lobby. She slowly turned her head to the girl that was sitting at the lobby counter staring at them. Her face showed that she thought Lucy and Gray were crazy.

"Uh, yeah. Let's go." Lucy walked up to the elevator and pressed the up button, which lighted up. The floor numbers changed as the elevator moved to the main floor. Lucy stepped in, followed by Gray. The door slowly shut and Lucy pushed the top floor button. Lucy tapped her foot to the elevator music, which annoyed Gray.

"Hey, can you stop that? Gee," Gray growled.

Lucy glared at Gray, ignoring his request. She quickened her tapping, making it louder. She smirked as Gray went crazy.

"I'm going to strangle you." Gray yelled.

"Oh, really? Let's see you try. I'll just yell out to the whole world how Gray Fullbuster is a creepy perverted rapist," Lucy smiled, making Gray angrier.

Gray huffed and crossed his shoulders, looking anywhere but Lucy. She had obviously won the battle.

Lucy laughed to herself as the elevator door opened to her level. She walked to the condo's door and took her key out from her backpack and unlocked it.

Gray invited himself in, pushing Lucy to the side of the door so he could enter. She glared at his back with so much hatred that he could feel her intense gaze. He laughed to himself and looked around the room.

Lucy closed the door and put her bag on the couch. She walked to the kitchen and grabbed a water bottle from the fridge. She closed the fridge and opened the bottle cap and drank some of the liquid.

She sighed and screwed the cap back on and left the water on the counter. "What are you doing standing there? Sit down, Mr. Awkward." Lucy laughed, looking how uncomfortable Gray looked, standing with his bag still draped on his shoulder and his hands dangling loosely on the sides of his well-built frame.

Gray mumbled something to himself and walked to the couch to sit down. "Hey, aren't you going to ask me if I want a drink? How un-courteous of you to just ignore a guest like that,"

When Gray went through his backpack to look for something, Lucy took the chance to grab a water bottle from the fridge.

"Fine, here." Lucy said to herself with a smirk.

She took a throwing stance, spreading her legs apart and putting her arm back. She used all her strength and aim to send the bottle full-speed ahead at Gray's head. The water whacked him in the back of his head, making a loud and painful thunk echo through the room.

Gray fell forward, yelping an "oomph!"

He grabbed the bottle while rubbing the back of his head. "Oww!" He yelled. He turned around, glaring at Lucy who was on the kitchen floor laughing her head off.

"Whaaat? You wanted a drink, so I gave it to you." Lucy looked at Gray innocently.

"Luu!" Gray yelled. "That really hurt. I didn't mean for you to chuck the drink at me! Gee," He mumbled.

Lucy stuck her tongue out at him, smiling. She stopped, a serious expression across her face.

Luu?

At that moment, a phone's ringtone messed Lucy's train of thoughts. Gray took out his cell and checked the screen. Lucy thought she saw a nervous expression appear on his face, but ignored it, thinking it was just her imagination.

"I'll be right back, okay?" Gray gave her a small smile. Lucy nodded and Gray walked into the bathroom.

Lucy sat on the kitchen floor, intensely thinking.

Luu? Does that mean he…he remembers? It couldn't be…

Could it?
