EPISODE 12: ENTICING RENDEZVOUS
….
"Without you in my arms, I feel an emptiness in my soul. I find myself searching the crowds for your face - I know it's an impossibility, but I cannot help myself."
― Nicholas Sparks, Message in a Bottle
…
It was evening already after Lucy's picnic with her friends. And they all went home…
And tonight a storm is about to come… she couldn't stand the sound of thunder, it freaks her out. Lucy can't sleep at all so even though it's embarrassing she decided to ask for Gray's help… she felt some sort of deep connection to the ice mage but she didn't know why…
On the other hand at Gray's room… gray was becoming more worried… he knew Lucy couldn't stand the thunder, but what can he do? Lucy forgot everything about their relationship, so it would freak her out if he would help her… Lucy's amnesia for him is a pain in the ass… he can't do all they use to do like cuddling each other and those lovey-dovey stuffs, also he just found out that there are many guys that wanted his Lucy, even his friend Natsu, his greatest rival… the rune mage, and the shadow dragon slayer is also a big hurdle for him, he can't even read what they are planning or when they will make a move… but what he hates the most is the memory make mage, he just don't like that guy at all, all those sweet talk and those weird stuffs of being flamboyant and theatrical when he is with Lucy aggravates him.
Meanwhile Lucy is outside Gray's room, She took a deep breath, 'what should I do? Gray is my friend, right? So I hope he wouldn't mind for me to sleep at his room?! damn why do I feel so excited? I feel like a pervert! Gray is my friend, my nakama! My….? Yeah who is Gray to me?did something happened before I got my amnesia?
Now Lucy is having a staring contest at Gray's door, she's having doubts if she would do this… she was about to knock when a thunder clap just occurred.
"kyaaaa!" she shouted and kneeled at the ground as she cover her ears… Gray was alarmed when Lucy shouted, he hurriedly opened the door and saw Lucy all curled in front of his door, which made him shocked
"Lucy?"
"Gray…"
"hmmm Lucy w-wh-what aare you doing in f-front of my d-door?" as he said Lucy looked up to gray who is in his boxer and it made her blushed, Gray looked at her with confusion suddenly he realize that he is just in his boxer so he yelp in embarrassment.
suddenly another sound of thunder came which made Lucy jerk and tackled Gray.
And the door closes on it's own as the two embraced each other, as the rain continue to pour.
…
"His lips tasted cool and sharp, peppermint, winter, but his hands, soft on the back of my neck, promised long days and summer and forever."
― Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver
….
The rain and the thunder continued, Gray is wondering why did it rain so suddenly and he just got a hunched on who made it rain and those freaking thunders… 'those two are probably drunk and arguing' as he thought to himself
But all he cares right now is Lucy, who is embracing him right now… the body contact that he miss a lot, he caressed her hair to calm her down.
"it's alright, I'm here, I'll protect you" he said to her as he kissed her head, which made Lucy blushed furiously but she couldn't help to be happy…. She didn't know why… but despite Gray's cold body that made her shiver, her heart felt warmth when he said that he'll protect her and kissed her head.
'this is so familiar, could I happen to be attracted on my teammate? This is so wrong his Girlfriend might get angry and I might abuse his kindness! He might think of me as a pervert…' as she thought to herself, she pushed Gray from their embrace.
"Gr-gray I'm s-sor-ry your girlfriend might get angry so I'll go back to my room…" she stood up but Gray just chuckled and grabbed her wrist
"Lucy I always thought you are smart, but now you are such an idiot and dense."
"what do you mean by it?! do you want me to kick you"
"if I have a girlfriend wouldn't it be strange if I live alone beside your room?"
"like hell I know, and don't laugh at me!"
"did you remember when you first saw me at the infirmary (chapter 8*)…"
"y-yeah."
"Lucy I'm your boyfriend and I'm not kidding, everyone knows about it, they didn't tell you about it again coz they don't want you to get scared of me…"
"huh?" Lucy look at him in confusion suddenly something caught her attention… a picture of them together… 'is this true? And why am I kissing his cheek, we look so sweet at this picture? Then we are lovers? But how?'
Reality hits Lucy again she looks back at Gray who was just looking at her with those eyes… she felt guilty for some reason…
"Gray, I'm sorry if I put you a lot of trouble."
"are you breaking up with me?" Gray said to her his voice sounds like he was about to cry
'what should I do, I didn't notice that Gray is having a hard time, I'm her girlfriend but due to some incident I can't remember and feel anything towards my team mates… yet all of those strange and happy feelings are all coming back to me. what should I do?' as Lucy thought to herself while still looking at the picture of the two of them ' we look so happy in this picture'
"uhmmm Gray, I'm not breaking up with you, but I just need some space… this is all new to me, I can't remember anything, but those strange and happy feelings when I'm with you, Erza, Natsu and Happy is all coming back, yet I still have no memories of all of our team, just familiar feelings…" I said to him, he smiled yet a really sad one…
"I'm happy that you can now remember those feelings for us, I won't rush you… and I'm happy that you are now recovering, Lucy I made a promise with you that I will protect you as long as I live, I will still do it until you remember me, I will protect you and your smile." He said to her.
Lucy felt the urge to hug Gray and as she embrace the half-naked guy she couldn't help to blush and her heart to beat so fast…
Lucy's POV
It's still raining but the thunder is already gone… the rain I felt is about to be gone soon
I hugged Gray, I don't know why but I don't want to see him sad… his scent smell like peppermint and menthol as embrace him tightly, his arms were warp around my waist, this is so familiar, so comfortable, cold yet not the icy, it's just cool, it cooled my body…
His head rested on my shoulder he is like inhaling my scent… his breath is cold on my neck, so weird…
He pulled away and look at me… deep dark blue eyes met my brown ones, his eyes remind me of the starry night sky… I felt falling on those eyes…
I don't know anymore but I felt the urge to kiss his lips, I leaned closer to him and peck my lips to his cool ones, but then I didn't realize that our kiss became more deep and passionate…
So familiar… I don't know why but I miss this for some reason… wait could it be that before I got my amnesia I kiss him a lot? Wait then we might already did that! Then I'm not a virgin anymore?!
My mind seems clouded for some weird reason I felt that my face already heated up and my hearts pound so fast…
His lips is so soft and so cool… he taste like peppermint and menthol, it's refreshing…
I don't want to stop.
GRAY'S POV
I was shocked when she hugged me, I miss this close contact her scent smells like Lavender and strawberry, it's sweet yet comforting, I look at her warm brown eyes just then she just kissed me… wait she kissed me, I couldn't help myself and kissed her back in a more passionate manner… her soft warm lips entice me so much, I miss this intimacy with her, but more over I miss her warmth… her body is warm as well as her flushed red face, she looks pretty as ever… I pulled away from the kiss before something might happened… first of all I don't want to rush things with her, step by step I will make her remember me.
I pinched her soft warm cheek, she looks embarrassed by our intimacy that she just initiated.
"cute your face is all red" I said to her as I smiled at her.. I miss this times when Lucy is so naughty and she's the one who first initiated those to me. good old times…
"B-baka! I-I'm s-sorry I didn't mean to… wait I don't know why I kissed you uhmmm I'm sorry, gosh this is so embarrassing!" as she said it all in one breathe I chuckled at how cute she look right now.
I stood up and carried her on my bed, when I laid her down beside me, her eyes were wide… I couldn't help but laugh
"what are you doing?!" as she said to me with a flushed red face…
I pulled her closer to me as her back finally touched my bare chest, I noticed how warm she is right now, I let myself to smell her hair, her scent..
"Lucy isn't it obvious? We are sleeping together… wait don't tell me you are thinking I'm going to do that to you, Lucy you are really silly."
"eh?! N-no!"
"we are sleeping beside each other, isn't it the reason you are in front of my door right?"
"how did you know that?!"
"I'm your boyfriend so I know everything about you, so Lucy just let me hug you… I miss these times." I whispered to her ear, I felt her body stiffened a bit but she just nodded as I took it as a permission to cuddle her more as both of us fell asleep.

"Rufus are you alright? You are in a daze."
"huh? uh yeah, I'm just worried."
"worried about Lucy-san? I'm worried too, but you know that we need to go home tomorrow at the sabertooth and pick a job… she will be safe."
"….i know but…"
"… so Goodnight rufus…"
"Fro wants to say goodnight to you too"
"yeah go ahead and sleep, I'll sleep later, I just need to calm down." I said to him… I can't help to feel worried about her, I sense danger is about to come.

Him and frosch are sleeping beside each other. Rufus is already sleeping on a separate bed
I cant sleep, at least Frosch fell asleep, I'm worried… damn I can't sleep at all… even rufus is already asleep now…
I can't sleep, her scent still lingers and she's really kind and Frosch likes her…
Her hand is so soft (last chapter*) I want to hold it forever and don't ever want to let go.
"…." What is it? I sense a disturbance in the air… this isn't great… what is it?

The reason of the rain and thunder at magnolia*
At the fairytail guild
Juvia and Laxus are having a competition on who is stronger and both of them are drunk… Lyon and Mira tried to stop them but the two are just stubborn.
"Juvia can make it rain in the whole Magnolia!" as Juvia yelled to him a few seconds Later it started to rain outside the guild.
"is that all you can do? I can make thunder in the whole freaking area!" as Laxus arrogantly bragged his power to the water mage… a few moments later thunder suddenly came along to the sky…
'a storm is coming if the two of them just clash each other' as everyone inside the guild thought… and thus a storm literally created as the two continued to argue.
"Laxus! I will teach you a lesson if you didn't stop this!" as Mira warned him as she release her murderous aura to the lightning dragon slayer, who seem oblivious to it coz he was too drunk.
"Juvia is stronger than you, right Lyon!" as a drunk Juvia yelled to her boyfriend, who just too scared to have a fight to her… and he just nodded in agreement.
And that's the reason why it rained and Gray mentally thanked the two for what they just did.
