Konnichiwa, minna sama! How are you all?! This is the Grayza chapter for all of my Grayza fans! Love you all (+my Jerza fans~!)

Sorry if the beginning sucks. I just wanna find some sort of way to quickly sum up what Magic Day is all about. . .

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail. If I did, I would be rich by now.

Gray's dark eyes skimmed through the screen of his laptop screen. His chin rested on his palm, as his other hand was fiddling with the mouse. Nope. Nope. Nope. He thought as he continued scrolling down the page. When nothing seemed to catch his eye on the page, he clicked the "Back" button and went to the next website.

His room door swung open. "Yo, Gray! Ohayo gozaimasu!" Natsu shouted happily. It was Saturday, everyone's favorite day of the week. And Natsu was in Gray's room, which wasn't a surprise. The pink haired boy's parents worked under the Scarlet's company. Since they also had work on Saturdays, Natsu usually got bored alone, and crashed into Gray's house for the day. Correction: Gray doesn't have a house, he lives in a mansion that takes up the whole block.

Natsu was quite a troublemaker at Gray's manor, so he was surprised that his parents still let Natsu in every weekend.

Gray looked up from his laptop screen. Realizing that it was his friend, he quickly slammed the laptop shut. "Uh. . .o-ohayo gozaimasu, Natsu!" He took a quick glance at his clock before continuing. "Why the hell are you here so damn early? It's only 9 o-clock!"

"You know something's been bothering me for the past few hours and that's called you."

Gray let out a long sigh before starting. "I actually felt rather sullen when I saw Erza helping Jellal at the gym. Wait, what's a better word for it? Jealous. But you know me, I can't stay mad at Erza for long, so I decided to find her and talk to her. Besides, it's only Erza that can uplift my spirits." He went on to the whole story about encountering Cobra.

"And how did Erza react?"

"Well, it was a little awkward for a moment. So I decided to take advantage of the moment. Both Erza and I could tell that Cobra was rather incredulous. And then when Cobra left, I had the random idea of asking Erza out for a Magic Day date right in front of Cobra's face. So, I asked Erza if she wanted to celebrate Magic Day with me." Uncomfortable, Gray started scratching his head. "As weird as it may sound, she actually said yes."

Probably because Erza likes you back. Can't you realize that, Gray? Or are you just really that dense? Those were the words Natsu wanted to say to Gray, but he decided not to. It was Gray's job to figure out by himself.

Gray, thinking that his friend was surprised too, waved his hands. "Don't worry Natsu. It's just a friendly date with Erza, so yeah. . .Though it will feel awkward, since it will only be me and Erza alone. . ."

Natsu made a frown. "You know. Something else is bothering me lately." Gray looked at his pink haired friend curiously. "You see," Natsu continued. "I'm not saying this to offend you or anything, but I think you should really fight for your position. Your potition with Erza, I mean. Don't you see that she's. . .getting closer to Jellal. They live under the same roof, god damn it. If you really love Erza. . .I think you should tell her that." Natsu paused for a moment. "I really think you should find some time. . .and tell her sincerely how you feel about her."

Gray felt shivers run down his spine. But why he was scared was a curiosity. He expected himself to confess to Erza ever since he laid his eyes on her. Sometimes, he even daydreamed and practiced how he would confess. So why should he be worried? Maybe because he was more scared of. . .Jellal. Gray just didn't want to admit that everything Natsu said was the whole out truth.

Natsu eyed Gray's laptop. He remembered his friend slamming the laptop shut when he suddenly entered the room. "Browsing for date ideas, aren't you, Gray Fullbuster?" he snickered. The frown on his face vanished as if nothing happened.

A blush crept onto Gray's pale skin. "Yeah. . ." he admitted sheepishly.

Natsu patted Gray's shoulder's reassuringly. "Don't worry, man. I got you. Now, do you want some help from me? I'm actually very good at date ideas, especially for Magic Day. I actually think I'm taking Lucy somewhere too. But for a rookie like you. . ."

". . .Don't sweat it, Eru. You're the girl here," Lucy explained to her nervous friend. Lucy Heartfilia was at Erza's manor. Being with her friend refreshed herself and allowed her to catch up on the redhead's latest news.

"Whaddya mean?" Erza asked. No matter how much Lucy tried to calm the redhead down, it didn't seen to be working.

Lucy took a rubberband and put her hair into a bun. "You're not supposed to be the one thinking about where you should go. Gray is the one." She sighed. "Oh, the beauty of being a girl."

"Honestly, I don't think this is right. Me and Gray aren't even a real couple," the redhead explained. She strolled back to her bed, and plopped down.

"What if Gray actually gets annoyed at me? Besides, I bet that he wants to spend the day with his family instead." There does Erza and her 'what-if' questions all over again.

The blonde sadly smiled. Lucy turned to her friend. "Well, Erza. Do you regret accepting his date request?"

"It's not even a real date. We're just pretending just for. . ."

"Erza," the blonde interrupted. "Do you regret accepting the request?"

The redhead hesitated. For so long, she have always wanted to do something special with Gray, just the two of them. And now, she had the chance she had so longed for for twelve years. Sure, she was a bit shocked when Gray suddenly asked if she was free during Magic Day. But did she regret saying yes? "No," Erza murmured. She already started feeling her cheeks heat up. "I don't regret it one bit."

The two smiled at each other before continuing preparations and unaware of a certain person in the Scarlett manor...

"Lyon!" Jellal called as he threw his pillow toward the boy. "Get off of my bed. Why are you here anyways? Go away!" That was what was happening right below Titania and Lucy.

Lyon mumbled and turned around to look at his friend. A stupid grin was on his face. "Hehehe. . .I can't believe that I'm actually at Titania's house! Aieeeee! This is so cool!"

The bluehead rolled his eyes. "I don't even know why you are here. There's nothing interesting here."

"What?!" Lyon jolted up. "Nothing interesting?! What the hell? Jellal, I bet a million jewels that you probably haven't explored not even half of this house yet."

Well, that was true. Like I said, it's kinda freaky how Lyon knows Jellal so well in only five days. But they've spent so much time together over the past few days and got along so well, it was like they knew each other for years.

Lyon smirked, after seeing Jellal attempt to avoid eye contact. "I guess someone is being a little shy today," he commented, referring to the bluehead.

Annoyed, Jellal glared at his friend. "No one told you to be at my house at nine. Get out. I had wanted sleep in today," he argued. Not really. He just wanted to clear his mind from yesterday. After seeing Gray and Erza together, it dampened his mood. But he wasn't going to tell Lyon that. Lyon already knew what he had to. Besides, Lyon has a big mouth.

Lyon patted the spot next to him on Jellal's bed. "Sit."

Hesitantly, the bluehead made his way back to his mattress. Well, he could have disobeyed his friend. But that wouldn't be a very smart choice, since (once again) Lyon has a very big mouth. In other words, if Jellal really did disobey Lyon, by tomorrow, the entire world would've known he lived with the Scarlets. That wasn't a really good idea.

"Well," Jellal said as he sat down on the mattress. "What's your plan?"

Jellal woke up on Wednesday to the very annoying birds chirping. Being a holiday, he have originally planned to kick back and relax. But today, he had a sick feeling in his chest. It might have been Magic Day, but he wasn't feeling very magical. What irony.

Since Friday, he've been dreading for this day to come. As the days passed since Friday, the uncomfortable feeling in his chest kept on getting worse and worse. And now it was Wednesday, and Jellal felt like he was going to collaspe any moment. Today was the day that his and Lyon's stalking plan would be activated.

Why did I even go back to Magnolia?! If I never came back to Magnolia. . .If I told my father I wanted a regular apartment and school. . .If I kept my distance from the Erza. . .If I never saved Erza in the first place. . .Maybe all of this bullshit would've never come to be.

Life just never went Jellal's way.

Or maybe it did.

Deep inside the bluehead, he knew actually enjoyed every second he spend with the queen. Every good memory he had in Magnolia had some connection to Titania. Sometimes, when those memories came up to him, he would realize that he was smiling like a idiot.

Realizing what he was thinking, he scolded himself. He dismissed the thought quickly. That wasn't what needed his attention at the moment. What am I even talking about? I'm supposed to have no connection with Titania whatsoever.

Instead, he took a quick walk to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, he realized he looked like a zombie. He snatched a comb and ran it down his unruly blue locks. After freshening himself up, he grabbed a sandwich from the fridge and gulped it down, he tried to look casual as he walked out his "apartment." As he made his way to the manor exit, he couldn't help but notice that half of the servants were gone for the day. Well, today was a holiday. And even if there were twenty maids today, that was an awful amount of servants for only Erza.

He quickly wove his way through the mansion corridors and was soon able to find the exit. Well, here goes another day, he mumbled to himself as he pushed the exit door open.

The day could not have been more pleasant. The sky was blue, the air warm. The sound of car honks could be heard in the distance. Newborn leaf clusters on the surrounding shrubs of the manor garden had a look of pale, green popcorn.

And standing at the corner of the block was Erza Scarlet. She fished out her phone and checked her reflection on the screen. Yup, everything was A-O.K. The redhead took in one more deep breath before continuing her way towards her destination.

It's okay, Erza. Why should you be scared anyway? You and Gray knew each other for so long, there shouldn't be anything to be scared about. she kept repeating to herself over and over. But this was he first time, in twelve years, taht Gray and her were spending the day together. . .alone! Her heart just started a relay race thinking about it.

Then, she stopped in front of a cafe. As she entered the cafe, the first thing she did was take a scan of the area. And just as she predicted, Gray was already there. The redhead sighed with relief, realizing that Gray had also wore simple attire: dark jeans with a navy blue shirt. Even though the boy was sitting towards the back of the cafe, Gray's handsomeness was radiating.

"Um. . .Gray!" she called out. She took quick steps towards the boy's table.

Gray, startled that someone suddenly called his name, perked up. He was originally staring at his phone until he heard that familiar, gentle voice call his name. When the redhead first saw Gray's face, Erza knew something was. . .off. It was written all over his face. He looked extremely tired and all his smiles were drained out of him. Gray, who seemed to be so excited for this day just yesterday, now looked like that he was about to pass out.

But once the dark haired boy caught a glimpse of Titania, his face colored again. All his worries suddenly seemed to vanish into thin air, and it looked as if nothing had happen. As he watched the redhead walk towards him, he could feel his heart racing. Besides, he usually saw the redhead in uniform. And to suddenly see her in regular clothes, it made Gray's heart beat triple. He stood up from his seat and gave a warm smile. "Ohayo, Erza." He slipped his phone in his jean pocket, hoping the redhead wouldn't notice.

"Ohayo," she said back. She made a frown before sitting down. "Is everything alright, Gray?" she asked, referring to his expression just a minute ago.

"Me?" Gray asked, pointing to himself. "Oh yeah. I'm fine." No. I'm not fine. If only you understand what I'm going through right now, Eru. But I love you too much. I don't want to worry you. But despite what he thought, he forced a smile on his face. At least Erza was here now. He could feel a little better.

"Oh. Okay," she answered. But she still felt something bad floating in the air. Or was she just over-thinking everything? After all, she was a little nervous today too. "Say, Gray," she continued. "Where are we going today?" After all, Lucy taught her that it was the guy's job to think of ideas. And Erza couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Somewhere," he said with a grin.

"No, I'm serious," she said with a pout.

He let out a small laugh, which assured Erza that Gray was his normal self.

"Fine fine. We'll be going to Central Path" he answered. He gave a small shrug. "That's where most of the events and parades occur anyways." He glanced at the redhead. "Will that do?"

Erza flashed a smile. "Sure! Anywhere is good, as long as I'm with you!" Wait. What did I just say. Woah, that was an indirect confession right over there! Uh-oh.

Thankfully, Gray didn't seem to seem to notice. Or at least, that's what it seemed on the outside. 'Cause at the inside, Gray's heart is pounding like crazy. "Anywhere is good, as long as I'm with you!" That was making Gray go CRAZY.

"S-so," Gray started. "You won't mind if you go on my car, right?"

The redhead nodded.

"Well then." The boy stood up once again. "Let's go!"

"Y-yeah." Erza stuttered. She was getting all nervous all over again. Or maybe she was just shivering with excitement instead.

...

When the two reached Central Path, they weren't surprised. Along Central Path, people were packed like a can of sardines. People were everywhere in every direction, bustling around. They were jumping around from booth to booth, trying their luck with each game. Others buying food at the stands or watching magicians perform shows. Well, Erza and Gray were used to this, since it was like this every year.

"I guess that our luck is out this year," Erza commented. Even though it was morning, the path was crowded with residents and tourists already.

Gray gave a nod. He turned to the redhead. "I don't want to lose you in this crowd." He offered his hand. "Would you mind, Eru?" Well, that came out a lot cheesier than I intended it to be. . .Erza is never gonna take my hand if I. . .

His thought was cut off when something warm squeezed his hand reassuringly. "Of course I don't mind," she replied, eyeing her feet. She didn't dare to glance at Gray, because she knew that was she was blushing really bad already.

Gray's mouth hung open. And it was a good thing that Erza wasn't looking his way, or else he would look extremely stupid. In return, he gave Erza's hand a squeeze back. He stood there for a second, trying to take in the moment. Erza's hand was soft and warm. He could also feel that her hand was nervous too, her hand slightly quivering.

"So," Gray said, breaking the awkward silence. "You wanna start by looking at the booths?"

It took Erza a while before she was able to meet Gray's eyes. "Sure. Why not?"

"Okie dokie," he replied. He tried to seem as confident as he could as he walked down the street. He made small talk with the redhead as they walked down Central Path together, talking about school and making jokes with each other.

To Gray, it was like a dream. Walking with Erza, side by side, talking so casually to each other. . .It was the best morning of his life so far.

As the two walked town Central Path, Gray couldn't help but notice all the pedestrians staring at them. He decided to eavesdrop in what the surrounding people were saying.

"Oh my! Look at that pretty girl! Her boyfriend is so handsome too!"

"You see that hot chick? Too bad she's already taken though."

"Aww. . .I wish I had such a sweet and handsome boyfriend like she does. Oh, I'm so jealous!"

"They have so much natural beauty! Hey hey, are they models?"

The dark haired boy felt his confidence soar after hearing the comments made about his and Erza.

Or maybe not.

"They look so great together. It's just like Romeo and Juliet."

Gray froze in his tracks. Romeo and Juliet. Forbidden love. His memory backtracked to last night. It backtracked to his talk with his father. "If I catch you doing that, Gray. . ." Those were his father's words. A shiver ran down Gray's spine.

"Gray!" Erza was swiping her hand in front of the boy's face. "Are you okay?" She was scanning his face, her eyebrows knotted with concern. Just as she predicted, something was off with Gray today.

The boy shook his head, pushing away his previous thoughts. He saw Erza's eyes filled with worry, and he felt guilty realizing that it was himself causing Erza to be anxious. He gave a small smile. "Don't worry. I was just, uh. . .disappointed that I got an 80 on my History test," he lied. But at least Erza seemed better now.

Too bad that everything Gray just said came out of Erza's other ear. Her face was full of admiration as she was looking at another direction... He followed her gaze to a game booth.

"Teddy bear. . ." she murmured ever so softly.

Gray let out a chuckle. Erza might be seventeen, but she acted more like a seven year-old instead sometimes. "Which teddy bear?" he asked, just out of curiosity.

She pointed the to white and red bear sitting at the top shelf. "That one," she murmured.

"Then do you want to wait on line?"

The redhead was mesmerized as she watched a little boy hit the target and squeal with excitement as he received a gray bear.

"I want a teddy bear too. . ." the redhead mumbled.

"Then do you want to wait on line?" Gray repeated.

Erza took a scan at the line, which was almost a block long. She would go, but it would waste too much time. And she was not spending all of her Magic Day with Gray stuck at a stupid line. "I'm fine," she answered. But in truth, she really, really wanted the white and red teddy bear. As she and Gray started continuing their walk down the road, she couldn't help but look back several times until the teddy bears were out of sight.

"Did you really want that?" Gray asked, his eyes fixed on the distance.

"Not. . .really. . ."

The boy let out a laugh. "Stop lying."

"I'm. . .not. I don't need that. . .teddy bear. Besides! It's for kids. . ."

"Your voice says otherwise," he said, teasingly.

"Well. . ."

A child's shout interrupted their conversation. "Mama! Papa! Hurry up!" The child was dragging his parents. "Cooperate with me, please! I really wanna see the parade!"

"Aiyo, why do you even why to see it anyways?" the mother asked.

"Because!" the child argued, determined to have things her way. "I want to get that lucky charm! I heard that the charms actually work!"

"We can buy it for you, Wendy. You don't have to worry," her father said.

"But it's a special charm. You can only get it at the parade! And it's limited too!" the little girl explained. "And my friend claims that it's gives a super duper amount of luck!"

"Oh fine," the mother said.

Gray and Erza watched the family disappear down the block. The redhead nudged the dark haired boy. "I want to get a lucky charm too," she admitted. She hated the fact that she sounded like a spoiled brat in front of Gray.

Thankfully, Gray didn't seem to mind. "Sure why not." He gave the redhead a playful squeeze. "Let's go."

Jellal smiled bitterly as he continued to crouch behind the bench near the tree where Gray and Erza were. He didn't mean to eavesdrop. He didn't know why he was eavesdropping anyway; he was just supposed to keep Lyon company. He was rather irritated, and felt like a sissy doing so.

"Can I go home yet?" Jellal asked, his voice filled with annoyance. "I don't even know why we have to follow them on their date." His legs were sore from crouching and the pollen from the flowers were irritating his eyes. Not really. That was just his excuse to leave.

"Ssshhh, Jellal. We might be wearing caps and sunglasses, but we can't do anything about our voice," Lyon scolded. His eyes were glued on the redhead and the dark haired boy.

"I just want to go home. . ." the bluehead complained. Seriously, he was tormenting himself as he watched Titania and Gray happily strolling down the road side by side.

"I want to see my classmate and my future wife cheating on me," Lyon explained, still not looking at his friend's way. "And besides, don't you want to know what they are doing?"

"I'd rather leave them alone. Following them around is just. . .creepy," Jellal retorted. "And stop your daydreaming. Erza is never going to marry a bumhole like you."

The bluehead saw his friend raise an eyebrow. "'Erza?'"

Jellal's boastful side took over him. "Of course. Don't you know that Erza loves it best when. . ." his voice trailed off. He didn't finish his sentence. And he didn't finish his sentence because he didn't want Lyon to know what he did. A twinge of guilt hung around him for not telling his friend. "Oh, frick this shit." Jellal abruptly stood up from his spot and started walking off. He heard Lyon shout for him, but the bluehead ignored the calls.

Until he stepped on something cushony.

He directed his eyes downward. He lifted up his feet. Hey, it's a random bag of some sort. He bent down to pick up the item. Oh it's just a lucky charm, he told himself after reading the label on the pouch. And it says. . .it's only for parade use. He continued reading.

He suddenly recalled the earlier events.

"But it's a special charm. You can only get it at the parade! And it's limited too! And my friend claims that it's gives a super duper amount of luck!"

"I want to get a lucky charm too."

Jellal felt a smile creep up his face. Maybe this charm will be useful sometime soon. He stuffed it in his pocket before turning around to retrace his steps. "Lyon!" he called out. "Don't leave without me!"

Oh my gosh. . .Phew! This chapter took me foreeeeever to write. So if this chapter was really cheesy, I'm sorry. Trust me, when I reread this, I cringed at how fluffy my writing was.

I'll be continuing the next part next week, so stay tuned!
