Chapter 3-
The Next Day-
"Lucy? Are you still sleeping?" I heard a familiar voice.
I pull the big blanket off just enough that he could see the top of my head and down to my nose.
"I have that answer for you." I squeaked "Even if I do love him, I can't."
He sighed "So you heard?" He sat down on the bed next to me.
"Heard what?" I ask
"Natsu and Lisanna are going out now." Gray said slowly
"No I didn't hear about that." I put the covers over my head again.
"Lucy, what happened?" Gray pulled the covers down and leaned to his side facing me and rested his head on his hand
"He came in here yelling at me saying I should quit Team Natsu.." I whimpered
"Wait he did what?!" Gray got up and looked at me studying my face.
"He said I needed to take a break from the team.. Why? Didn't you guys know?" I ask
"No, I'm going to go beat that fucking Flame Brain into the ground!" Gray was getting up but I just pulled him back. "Don't Gray. Please. Can we just keep quiet about it?" I ask and he sits back down next to me.
"If that's what you want, but when we get back to the guide I'm gonna quit the team too." He said
"No. Gray don't do that, it's just a little break besides I'll be perfectly fine."
"Lucy.." He whispered looking into my eyes, his voice made my stomach flutter.
I couldn't speak I was afraid that if I tired I would fail miserably.
"I'm not staying in this team if you're not there with me."
I just nod and look down.
"Come on let's get you ready, go take your shower. If you don't you'll be grumpy all day I just know it." He gave me a mile and nudged me off the bed.
I get up and take a nice hot shower and then get dressed when I walk out into the room Gray is waiting for me, when he hears the door open he looks up and offered me a warm smile. I find myself admiring him again, his dark hair is messy but it looks so good on him. He is wearing his white jacket revealing the midsection of his chest which almost wasn't enough. He was so perfect. But he could get any girl he wanted, why would he ever pick me? I sigh and walk up to him. He gets up and I reach for my bag but he beats me to it. I just look up at him to see him smirking down at me, I look down and blush.
Keep it together Luce.
We walk down to the lobby where we are meeting the others, I didn't really want to see the new happy couple but I had no other choice. When we approached them Natsu was holding Lisanna's hand and just looked away from me.
On the way home it was a bit faster since we left earlier than last time, when the train stopped I saw Levy waiting for us. Now usually Natsu is the first one of but this time I beat him. I grabbed my things and hauled ass out to meet Levy.
"Lucy-chan!" We run up to hug each other, I end up crying in her shoulder and Gray is already outside with us. The others are about to get off, both of them knowing I didn't want to be seen by the rest of the team Levy get's my bags and Gray picks me up bridal style. They begin to walk away leaving the others confused.
"Oi, where are you going Gray!" Natsu yelled after him.
Gray turns only giving Natsu a glimpse of Lucy's tears.
Natsu's P.O.V.
Lucy's crying? I start to worry but before I know it Gray has set Lucy down with Levy and told Lucy something and starts walking over to me.
Gray lands the first hit that send me flying back onto the train, he walks in and picks me up by my vest, "How dare you hurt Lucy. While your on the next train to hell you just remember that if you ever hurt her again you'll answer to me."
Gray throws me down and gets off the train before gong back after Lucy he turns and says one last thing to me. "By the way I quit the team."
And then he's gone. Lisanna is by my side and is asking what just happened and asking where I am hurt.
I don't answer - Dammit I didn't mean to hurt her, I just want her to be safe! Right? I love Lisanna, but Gray protecting Lucy instead of me hurts me. I've always been the one there for Lucy..
Back to Lucy's P.O.V.
"He did what?!"
We finally make it to my apartment, I just throw my stuff down and don't even bother closing the door because I know Gray is going to be here in a minute. I go straight to the kitchen. I'm a woman on a mission and Levy know exactly what that mission is.
She get's out the ice cream and I get out the beer.
We go sit on the couch and but our items on the little coffee table in front of it. Levy picks out the movie and I go get the rest of our food. I come back with chocolate and popcorn.
Levy is putting 'Titanic' in when Gray gets here and I'm coming back with the popcorn. Levy and I sit down open our beer and press play. Gray just chuckles and sits down next to me.
After the movie is over Levy leaves but helps clean up the mess first. Leaving Gray and I alone, I start to get butterflies in my stomach again. It's almost dinner time. We call in to get take out and he lets me pick the movie we get to watch. But he doesn't really watch the movie. I catch him staring at me more than once and blush. "You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine. It never was never love."
"I'm not worried, I know you're strong, I've never doubted you."
"Gray?" I don't know what I'm actually asking but I just have this feeling he will know.
"Lucy." he whispers which sends shivers down my spine.
"What is this feeling?" I ask my voice breaking at the end as he leans in closer to me, making my heart beat faster than ever. I don't know why I asked, I just had to know. And he had all of my answers. He already had my heart, I don't know how long he's had it but I can finally see it.
"This is what actual love feels like." He whispers closing the space between us and kissing me slowly. I respond instantly, it feels so right, his sweet cool skin against mine. It was cold at first but then he started to heat it up. He lifts me up and lets me straddle him as he picks me up and takes me to the bed.
Lust begins to take over, he notices this and pulls away.
We smile up at each other and then cuddle for the rest of the night.
