Chapter 9

A/N:Okay,I think this story is nearing it's would have maybe two or three chapters more .Gray's POV!

I finished hammering the last nail and sat down on the chair.

"Guys the flyers are here!"Lucy exclaimed as Natsu came in,his tongue hanging out like collapsed as soon as Gajeel took the huge mountain of papers from him.

There were only two days left until the D-Day and our preparations were in full swing,the leader, Lucy was panicking a lot nowadays and according to Mira(her roommate),she would babble out orders even in her sleep!Now,this is what I call heights of'responsibility'.

"The costumes are almost ready too."Lisanna Strauss sisters had also been assigned the costume work,Erza was helping them too.

"And we're almost done with the board here."Lyon said.I was in this team along with Lyon,Juvia,Laki,Max,Levy and boys had to put up the board while the girls were decorating it.

"And we're done with the menu here."Cana and Evergreen had to decide the menu,I bet Cana would have added booze in it.

"So now all that's left is buying the ingredients,cooking and serving?"Lucy asked and everyone nodded.

Lucy smiled and gave us a thumbs up."Nice work team!"

Everybody clapped and decided to go home,it was getting dark anyways.

-;-

"There's nothing bad with watching Spider-man."Natsu said as he gobbled up the remains in his plate.

"There is Natsu,it's immature."Lucy said,picking up his plate and tossing it into the bin.

"But the first movie was nice."Natsu replied following her out of the cafeteria.I walked after them,sometimes I think they forget about me amidst their arguments.

"I didn't watch it."

"Well then you should have watched The Amazing Spider Man and we're going to watch the second part after the festival."Natsu said,crossing his arms over his chest.

"Who's the hero?"Lucy said taking out her pocket mirror and lip gloss.

"Andrew Garfield."

Lucy dropped the lip gloss and the mirror and turned around to face Natsu."Really?"

Natsu nodded and Lucy hugged him while he just shrugged casually."What's the big deal?"

"Andrew Garfield is my favorite hero and he's so cute."

Natsu rolled his eyes."What's so good about that chocolate boy?You should pick a man."

Lucy arched her brow."You just sounded like Elfman back there."

I smirked."Maybe Natsu's just jealous Lucy."

Lucy blushed,while Natsu glared at came and pulled us out of the awkwardness.

"Lucy,Mira just wants to see how the costume fits on you."

Lucy looked at Erza."Why would I need a costume?"Erza sighed.

"It isn't exactly a costume,not the maid one,but something in between casual and costume, just go and check it out yourself."

"Okay Erza,if you say so."

"Wait a sec,Luce.I am coming too,Gajeel asked me to check out the ingredients'list."Natsu said,as he ran behind Lucy.

-;-

Erza had asked me to come with her to show me my costume.

"Every maid and butler has got customized costumes?"I asked and she nodded.

Erza pulled out a black coat,black trousers,crimson shirt and black tie."Here's your costume."

I was glad she knew crimson was my fave black was common,but the colour of shirts was different.

"It's nice.I love it."

"Thank you, wanna check out mine?"

I nodded without thinking,I bet I looked like a and pulled out her corset was crimson,rest of it was black.

"Nice."

Erza smiled."Mira designed it,so I don't know how it would look on me by the way,did you notice that we have matching costumes?"

I blushed as I nodded.

"Do you love the colour?"

"Yeah."

"Me kinda reminds me of mom."

"This colour reminds me of your hair."

Erza looked at me while I looked away from her.

"Anyways,do you think Natsu and Lucy like each other?"

I sighed,thank god she changed the subject or I could've literally died of embarassment.

"Sometimes yes,most of the time no."

Erza chuckled at my reply."I think they like each other a always keep fighting like a married first,I thought they were a couple;I asked Lucy about it, she blushed and said no."

I chuckled,Erza was too straightforward sometimes.

"I don't know about Natsu,he's too dense to understand such feelings."

Erza nodded."Most boys are cowards to express their feelings towards any girl."

I flinched."But it's the girls who makes it difficult for us to do of you are so confusing that we don't know whether to confess or not."

Erza smiled."Nope,you guys are too dense to understand from our signals."

"And your signals are way too confusing, girls want something,but tell that they don't want it.I mean,who does that?"

"A girl does Gray."

"Yeah and why may I ask so?"

"To see how well the guy understands her."

I sighed."Why are we having this Girls VS Boys conversation?"

"Don't know,trying to relive first grade maybe?"

I chuckled." Remember,how we used to do this all the time to prove which gender is better?"

"Yup,but now I realise that both genders have their own flaws,although boys have more flaws..."

I groaned."And here we go again..."

-;-

"Are you sure they are kissing?"Erza asked me in a were sitting behind a bush,observing Natsu and Lucy,we were on our way back home when we saw the two familiar figures standing too close to each other.

"Sorry Erza,I don't know."

Erza frowned as she tried to stretch her head a bit higher to get a better look.

"Let's go and ask them if you wanna know so bad."

Erza stuck out her tongue at me and I chuckled.

Soon the two figures separated and went in the opposite seemed too jumpy,while Lucy was blushing really hard,proving our suspicion to be right.

Erza's jaw dropped and she took my collar."They just kissed Gray,can you believe that?"

"Yes."Erza's grip grew tighter and I almost choked."I...am...choking..."

"Oops."She released me."Got overexcited."I arched my brow and got up.

"Your overexcitement can kill others."

Erza began walking.

"Gray,have you ever kissed someone?Or do you wanna kiss anyone?"

I looked at her.I knew I couldn't keep a straight face when she asked that question,especially the second part.A smile almost crept up to my face.

"No,I haven't yet got my first kiss but would certainly love to get one."

Erza nodded."Me too."

I looked at her."You mean Jellal never kissed you?"

She shook her head."It was never like a real kiss."

"Real kiss?"

"Yeah,like the ones they show in the movie,foot-popping and everything..."

I chuckled."Fantasy is getting the better of you Erza Scarlet."

She chuckled."I know,I am watching too many romance movies nowadays."

I smiled and promised my self something:When I kiss Erza,I will make sure it's the'real'one...
