It belongs to Mashima-sama. I'm just a fan trying to make a story about my OTP!

ΩΩΩ

The loud music, dim colourful changing lights and the crowd moving rapidly at the dance floor did not look as appealing as Gray initially thought it would be when Lissana told him a week ago that she's going to throw a birthday party for herself. Sure the gathering was lively but there were just too many people passing by which most of them he didn't knew. Lissana's idea of letting anyone interested to come over was not that good considering that she's too popular and it was like a once in a life time opportunity to most of the Magnolia University student population to mingle with the famous students from their school.

A popular DJ was playing a song and people were dancing to the beat of his music but to him it was so boring he could go to sleep right where he was sitting. He's already thinking about heading back to his pad because he's pretty sure the silence of his own place would be more enticing than the women lurking around him trying to catch his attention when it certainly clear that he's not even a bit interested. Where was Loke when he needed someone to save him from unwanted attention of the female population?

That's where Lissana's idea went wrong when she announced that anyone could come to her party. She's not the only popular kid in the crowd. Her circle of friends were the elites of Magnolia and each and every single one who attended her party wants get along with them. Not that Gray was the snob type, he just hate people trying to hang around him because he's rich, popular and a good looker. He's not like Loke who always enjoy any female attention or Natsu who thinks everyone could be his friend as long as they can tolerate his personality.

He's Gray Fullbuster, a cold person who don't easily trust people and it would take time before he open up himself to anyone or before he let himself to be too comfortable with someone else's company without looking for the ulterior motive of anyone who tries to get close to him. He learned over time that trusting people whom he really don't know too much would only caused him troubles that's why he made it sure that he always appeared to be frigid and uninterested. But annoyingly, not all people get the idea and still approach him despite the fact that he did not wished for them to talk to him.

Oh, how he hates social climbers and Lissana's party was so full of them!

He knew his friend means well. She just wanted to show everyone that it's not true that she's nothing but a snob popular rich girl thus she welcomed all the people that showed up on her doorstep that night but it's not really a good idea. No part of it was good, he thought. That was until his eyes caught a glimpse of a young woman making her way through the crowded dance floor.

It's not every day that someone got to get Gray Fullbuster's undivided attention and that woman must be so extraordinary for him to pay her such interest when he wouldn't even consider looking at the women trying their best just for him to look at them even for just a second. He didn't know what got into him but he was mesmerized. He just can't take his eyes away from her for some reason.

Maybe it was her sexy wavy hair that caught his eyes, it was black and blue and he can't tell which color was the natural one and which one was added for style. It could be the way she walked with that long pair of legs of her that seemed to go on forever enhanced by the heeled leather boots she's wearing or her little black dress could have done the trick. The way she carry that chain strapped, off the shoulder with draped effect mini dress that showed so much of her creamy white skin was so alluring. Or it could simply be her beautiful face that enticed him the most. Beautiful was not enough to describe her with those cat-like eyes of hers, pointed noise and that small heart shaped lips. She looked like a goddess lost amongst the humans surrounding her.

Then suddenly the very beautiful scenery was ruin when out of nowhere Loke showed up. Where the hell did he came from? Jeez, always expect that one to present whenever a very beautiful girl appeared. He frowned when he saw his friend handed a tall glass to the woman who looked confused as to what she's going to do with the obviously something to drink thing that was handed to her or if she should actually talk to the man who came from nowhere all of a sudden.

From the looks of it, Loke was trying to charm the woman but she seemed not to be pleased with his friend, if anything, she seemed suspicious but still drank the content of the glass bottoms up before hastily handing back the empty glass to the now evilly smiling man. The jerk. Gray knew him, he's planning something nasty. But could he blame him? That woman was exceptional. Just the way she tipped back her head when she drank was so damn enthralling.

Gray made up his mind quickly. It's so unusual for him to be so attracted to a woman in an instant and his instinct was telling him to move his ass and save her from his conniving friend and he knew to always trust his instinct when it comes to dealing with people. That woman was special and he wanted to know her more. Loke is his friend but he wants that woman for himself, his friend would certainly understand especially if he told him he can have all the women surrounding him in exchange of that one particular woman.

He stood up to approach the two people he had been watching when out of nowhere Natsu showed up in front of him. "Yo, ice princess. Did you see someone with long blue hair around here?"

"What?"

How annoying that his most stupid friend choose that moment to ask his random question about something that he truly didn't care about.

"A girl," Natsu replied. "The nerd one from the business department, you know. Have you seen her? Levy and Lucy are looking for her."

The nerd from the business department? Does he look like someone who knew a certain nerd from a college department that he didn't belong in? "Are you stupid? How would I know someone like that? I'm an engineering student."

"I'm just asking, you idiot!" Natsu made a face and he looked like he was ready to punch him but Gray got no time for his rowdiness for that moment. They could have a fist talk anytime but not that time. He watched the woman through his peripheral and he saw her turning on a corner away from the crowd with Loke just following behind. "Ask someone else, I got to go now." With that he left Natsu still looking like he's ready to breathe fire.
