Chapter 25 - Musical

Ha!

Feels good to beat the crap out of these assholes. Way to relieve the negative vibes and stress from the body. Or that's what Gray thinks. He crossed his arms with a grin on his face, seeing the thugs pleading for forgiveness.

"Grayyyyy-kuuuuunnn!" Erza yelled.

Giant blobs of teardrops came flying from her eyes. She wrapped her arms around her hero, sobbing cutely. "Thank you for *hic* saving me *hic* , Gray-kun. You were *hic* awesome."

Gray shyly took her compliment. It was so weird hearing Erza complimenting him, eventhough she's not actually the Erza. The personality, attitude, well, the whole package isn't what everybody would expect. But either way, he loves her the same.

"O-Oh, Erza. Y-You do-don't need to thank me." He said. "Geez, it's hard talking while her breasts are squishing against my chest."

She took his hand. She asked him to stay for awhile and have a ride on an inflated raft, which he agreed. This was his time to be with Erza. "Ah! Take that, Hibiki, you womanizing shitface!"

He wanted to enjoy this day. This moment. With her. They head to deep waters. He assisted her onto the raft. Gray watched her scarlet hair brightened by the sun. It turned bright red like blood. It looked beautiful. She turned around and held out her hand. Her eyes were locked into his. He could see the serene water sparkle in them. And it looked beautiful. Everything about her was beautiful. No one could tell him otherwise.

At the beach

Natsu and Lucy were sadly eyeing their friends from the distance. The celestial wizard mutters that this is the perfect time to say what you need to say and hopefully gets into Gray's or Erza's mind. But she felt something was missing. Quickly, she called Happy. The three huddled and discussed a plan.

"Look, those two oblivious idiots will miss this chance to confess if we don't do something about it." Lucy said.

Happy was getting into the idea, but Natsu felt uneasy about it. "Well Luce we can't just interfere." he said.

She brought him closer, "We're only helping. C'mon please?" He had no choice but to give in because he doesn't want to fall for the puppy eyes again.

"Now, what's the plan?" Happy asked, evilly rubbing his paws together.

She chuckled before smiling. "Hehe.. First, we have to set... the mood."

With Gray and Erza

They have never been so carefree. It's been remarkably long since they casually hung out. Both shared stories. Both exchanged laughs. Just like before. Close nakamas. Maybe all that might change today.

What if he tells her now?

What will happen?

Perhaps it's best to say it later. At the moment, he wants to treasure this with her.

*"There you see her,

Sitting there across the way,

She don't got a lot to say ,

But there's something about her,

And you don't know why,

But you're dying to try,

You wanna kiss the girl"

What was that? "Did you hear something?" Gray asked. Erza shook her head as the voice flew above his head. She smiled as Happy winked at her, then continued with his golden Jamaican accent.

"Yes, you want her,

Look at her, you know you do,

Possible she wants you too,

There is one way to ask her,

It don't take a word,

Not a single word,

Go on and kiss the girl"

There it was again. The ice mage felt uncomfortable by the words from whoever was singing that song. He wandered his eyes to catch the idiot, who's obviously ruining the mood.

"Sha-la-la-la-la-la, my oh my,

Look at the boy too shy,

He ain't gonna kiss the girl,

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, ain't that sad,

Ain't it a shame, too bad,

You're gonna miss girl-UGH COLD!"

"Gotcha! You little blue mongrel!" Gray exclaimed, watching the exceed fall. Happy landed Gray's arms with his whole torso frozen. Well, he decided not to do an encore after that.

Back at the beach

"Huh, that didn't work." Lucy said, while Natsu slowly shook his head.

3:00 pm. The sun was slowly coming down to meet with the sea. The Fairy Tail members were told by the master to prepare for dinner because they will have it at the beach. Some were grilling outside. Some were setting the tables up. And some were having... a drinking contest, which Cana, of course, participated.

Unfortunately for Gray, Hibiki was still alive. He wasn't looking for Erza though. But for a certain water mage. Luckily, he found her fawning over Gray-sama from a distance. The plan begins.

He approached her. "Excuse me, Juvia. I have something to discus-"

"Sorry, but I'm not interested in going out with you, Hibiki-sama." She cut him off.

Hibiki blushed at the misunderstanding. "N-No, you got the wrong idea." Sure, there were instances, where he finds her attractive and is used to the stalking 24/7. But her level of stalker is incredibly disturbing. He was completely turned off by the rumor that her room is a Gray memorabilia.

"It's about your Gray."

Juvia crossed her arms. "Oh? And why should Juvia listen to Hibiki-sama?"

He smirked, "Because I have the answer you need."

"Damn, these plastics of ice are heavy!" The fire dragon slayer complained as he turned his head to his companion. "Why can't you provide for it, Gray, the amazing ice wizard?"

Gray sighed, "Cus,you forgetful numbskull, my ice isn't edible."

Natsu used a plastic full of ice to hit him. "Who you calling numbskull, stripper?!"

"You! Flamebrain!" He counter-attacked by smashing the ice on his head.

And there they go.

The FT members stared at the two hopelessly punching each other with the ice they're going to use for the drinks.

"YOU IDIOTS! YOU DESTROYED ALL THE ICE!" Lucy yelled.

Makarov told them to buy more to amend their reckless mistake, so they were off. They were having trouble finding a store that sells ice, thus they decided to split up. Natsu took right, while Gray took left.

As Gray was trying to stumble upon ice, he received a surprise. "Gray-sama?"

He turned around, "Oh Juvia, what brings you he-mhmm.."

He found her warm lips on his. Her arms around his neck. Her body against his. Damn it. He couldn't move. He just stared at her closed eyelids. He just felt the kiss deepen. After a few seconds of silence, Juvia pulled away. She slowly opened her eyes with a tiny smile and looked at him, who was shocked. Another seconds of silence took over, she awaited for him to speak.

"Juvia.. I.." Gray couldn't find the words to say. Should he say something?

Her smile disappears as he looked down with his lips forming a thin line. She was tricked. She was careless. She was selfish.

He turned his gaze to her. His eyes softened. "I'm sorry. Juvia... I just don't feel that way about you." He doesn't deserve her. She doesn't deserve this.

A breeze passed. She has to be like this breeze. She should keep moving forward. Gray sincerely smiled at her. "Give this love to someone else."

She was about to answer when Natsu called out them to return to their location.

Fairy Tail thanked Natsu for bringing the ice, while Gray didn't receive any praise. But he felt relieved and happy.

"Heyyyyy, where's Erza at?! I demand a rematch!" a drunk Cana announced.

Looks like the Titania got wasted.

However, out of concern, he went to find her. After a couple of steps, he found her leaning on two trees. Beer in her hand and happily gazing at the horizon. "Huh, this drunk Erza is much cuter than drunk Erza before." he thought.

Suddenly, she looked at him with rosy cheeks. "Haiiiii Gray-kunnnn. Come sit with meeee~"

"Um, okayy." He sat next to her. She gawked at him, which sent blood to his face. Then, she hysterically laughed.

"Hahaha! There are four Gray-kuns!" She said, before drinking what's left of the bottle.

"Okay. Now, that's enough." He tries to take away the bottle, but Erza moves it farther from his grasp. He furrowed his eyebrows at her, slowly lifting himself off the ground, but she keeps it farther. Until Gray's eyes gazed at hers. He can see the orange color from the sunset mix with her brown orbs. Lowering his arm, he brought his face closer to hers.

Then, like waking up from a trance she quickly pulled her head away. Gray's eyes widened. She moved herself away from him as if he's some kind of disease. "Erza?"

"Erza, what's wro-"

"I think it's better if she's with me for now." Hibiki cut him off.

Gray gritted his teeth at him. She'll say no. She's going to say no.

She abruptly stood up, "Alright."

That feeling again. That sick feeling he felt a while ago. This time it was longer when he watched them walk away. When he watched her walk away.

This doesn't feel right.

From afar, the two same people witnessed what happened. Natsu and Lucy never saw this coming. And to think Gray totally deserved who he wants to be with. Maybe it's time to give up. But Lucy also sensed that this definitely doesn't feel right.

She put on her thinking face, while Natsu didn't have a clue at all.

*"I can see what's happening

He made a face, "What?"

And she doesn't have a clue

"Who?" Lucy rolled her eyes at him and gestured the Queen of Fairies at the distance.

She's falling in love and here's the bottom line,

The ship is sinking too

"Oh."

The sweet caress of twilight,

There's magic everywhere

And with all this romantic atmosphere

Disaster's in the air"

"Can you feel the love tonighhttt?"

"Wait, hold on. Don't sing that part, Natsu!" Lucy scolded.

"Oh sorry."

Hope you love this chapter! Please leave a review, follow or favorite! Yeah, it might be a terrible idea to make this a musical. BUT IT SOUNDS NICER AND FUNNIER IF YOU LISTEN TO THE SONGS WHILE READING THE LYRICS! Here are the Disney songs I chose.

1st song: Kiss the girl from The Little Mermaid

2nd song: Can you feel the love tonight? from The Lion King
