Author's notes: hey! I haven't forgotten about this story hehe sorry it's taken so long ~ I had wrote this before but then just never got round to typing it up! But better late than never so here it is! Thanks for all the reviews, follows and favourites and with that Enjoy!
Gray grumbled as he walked behind the Titania man I feel like I'm a dog with my tail between my legs, even though I didn't do anything wrong! The truth was Gray was still annoyed that Erza had went mad at him all because I defended her against those disgusting men! How ironic he thought bitterly I did the right thing but still I get screwed at
"tch if she knew what really happened" Gray mumbled under his breath "then she's be acting differently" when he laughed at himself and looked up realising that Erza wasn't walking ahead of him oh god where has she disappeared off too he scanned the street but groaned damn it! It's so packed here! He picked up his pace and looked around frantically "where the hell are you Erza" he growled he pushed past the crowds of people why the hell is it so packed he thought and then saw all the stalls that ran up both sides of the street is this some sort of festival? Gray had no time to think about that seeing as he had a missing partner to find.
After ten minutes of searching Gray stopped and sighed in defeat "this is impossible" he shouted "where the hell could she disappear off to?!" he sat down and sighed ok new game plan, is I was Erza where would I go…he looked around and tried to think with Erza-logic hmm maybe I should check if there is an armoury somewhere or a blacksmiths or…he jumped "cake shop!" he shouted earing strange looks from passers-by. "Excuse me" Gray asked loudly waiting for someone to stop
"Yes" an old man stopped "what's up boy"
"Is there a cake shop nearby?" Gray asked, the old man raised his eyebrow and Gray realised that his statement must have sounded pretty strange "I told my friend id meet her there and I can't find it, so please help" the man smiled
"Oh a lady friend" the old man grinned and raised his eyebrows suggestively which caused Gray's cheeks to redden "there is a cake shop just at the corner at end of the street, it makes delicious cheesecake. Now go boy don't want to keep her waiting" he smiled before walking away. Still with red cheeks Gray walked up the road what was the old man implying! He knows nothing about me and Erza! But at least I now know where she is he saw the little corner shop and walked closer to it. Cakes decorated the windows it looks just like the cake shop in magnolia he thought he peered through the window please be in here he thought. As he scanned the room he spotted red at the back of the shop. "Finally" he muttered before walking in and heading straight to the mage how dare she just abandon me, for cheesecake as well! So much for nakama!
"There you are" Gray said bitterly which caused Erza to look up with the spoon still in her mouth; her eyes widened when she saw him and swallowed the cake
"Oh Gray hey"
"Don't you hey me!" Gray shouted clearly annoyed he then realised he was causing a scene and sat down before leaning forward "do you know how long I've been looking for you? Trying to get through all these damn crowds" surprising Erza looked away
"I am sorry for leaving you" she said quickly "please hit me for it" Gray leaned back with a red face what the hell what is with girls and punishment! First Juvia says that to me whenever she does something wrong and now Erza said it!
"n-no!" Gray shouted the colour was returning back to his cheeks "I don't want to hit you for it jeez" Erza smiled
"Well then, there's no problem then" she stated before continuing to eat her cake, Gray scrunched his face
"Are you serious" he whispered seeing as people were already staring at the two mages "it doesn't mean I'm not still angry at you"
"well that makes two of us" she said calmly between bites "I was mad at you because of beating up those poor men and now you're angry at me for going to get cheesecake. I say we're even now" Gray face palmed but said no more he couldn't win against the Titania plus it was best to let it slide seeing as she didn't seem like she was going to beat him up now
"Humph" Gray mumbled and stole her spoon to take a piece of cheesecake
"Don't push it" she said darkly making him place the fork back, she laughed lightly and continued to demolish the cake that was in front of her why does she have to order the whole damn cake! It's going to take a while before we can even go to the theatre, I just want this mission to end and it hadn't even started! He sighed and rested his head on the table "what's up Gray?" Erza asked her voice gave away a hint of concern which caused Gray to chuckle quietly.
"Nothing; I'm just waiting for you so that we can get on with this mission" Gray mumbled back to her, there was a pause before Erza spoke up again
"Well seeing as we need to hurry up I guess you can have some of my cheesecake" this made Gray lean up and look at her
"Are you ok Erza? This is cheesecake you're offering me" Gray said in a surprised tone she never offers anyone her cheesecake and she beats the stuffing out of anyone that tries to take any or that disturbs her. So what the hell is going on?!
"yes I know that and in a normal circumstance I would never let anyone but seeing as its just the two of us and we have a mission to get to lets just eat it together" she replied bluntly before taking another bite together Gray shifted awkwardly before leaning over to the counter to get another plastic spoon and began to cautiously eat. As if on cue Gray looked out of the window and spotted the same elderly man he had asked directions. The old man looked in and spotted the ice mage and smiled warmly he then looked over at Erza and a large smile spread over his face, he nodded his head and clapped his hands 'not bad' he mouthed with a grin making Gray go red as he shook his head which merely caused the man to chuckle and walk away. Gray was still looking out the window with his mouth open which caused Erza to look up
"What are you doing?" she asked and scanned the window, Gray just shrugged it off and went back to the cake
"nothing just eat" he said between mouthfuls oh god we must look like a couple or something he thought and ate quicker thank god flame brain and Cana can't see me! They'd never let this go
After another twenty minutes the two mages had finally finished the cake and left the shop "how could you eat all of that by yourself!" Gray asked "so sugary" he moaned while Erza merely chuckled
"It's my favourite; I could eat it all day"
"Wonder why you aren't fat then" Gray laughed before slapping his hands over his mouth crap did I just say that out loud I'm so dead he thought. Erza spun on her heels and turned to face him
"Are you calling me fat?" she questioned him with a dark aura, her eyes narrowed as she glared at him
"n-no" he stammered backing away but she stepped forward
"It sounded like you did" she said he backed up but hit the wall "well then if you always strip why aren't you tanned?" she accused getting angry. Oh crap, think fast Gray
"Erm no, why would I say that" Gray stammered "I mean you're beautiful" they both stopped and Gray cursed under his breath what the hell! I can't control the words coming out of my mouth; Erza took a step back and tried to hide the slight blush that crept onto her cheeks.
She quickly turned away and walked ahead at a quick pace, Gray slapped the back of his head good job idiot! Why would you say that to your nakama?! He walked behind her feeling extremely scared I must have really upset her he thought sadly but I was just telling the truth she is…woah Fullbuster don't go there!
He stayed silent and finally they reached Scheherazade Theatre finally Gray thought and sighed in relief, Gray ran in forward to get in wanting to get away from the awkward situation he had stupidly created. "Rabian" Gray shouted trying to find the little theatre owner "where the hell is that guy!" he muttered
"Who's there" a small voice spoke
"We're the fairy tail mages here for the request you sent" Erza spoke loudly as she finally stood next to the ice mage
"More? Well this is strange, it's been a while that I sent out that request and suddenly it seems mages are interested" Rabian stepped forward
"Wait, more?" Gray asked "we're the only two that accepted the mission. It did state that you only needed a male and female" Rabian raised his eyebrow
"Ahh I remember you two from last time" Rabian shouted excitedly "I hoped you would return but wasn't there two others? Oh well doesn't matter" Rabian walked off leaving the two confused mages why is he just going off on one? This is going to be a long mission Gray sighed and chased after the small purple haired man
"So what do you want us to do?" Gray asked making Rabian stop and turn around
"Well" he started and looked Gray up and down "you'll do perfectly for the role, but…" he looked at the scarlet haired woman "I don't need two female actresses"
"what do you mean" Erza asked with an annoyed tone Gray sighed Erza loved acting last time so I hope Rabian doesn't do anything that will set her off "I'm the only other mage that took the mission" she stated. Rabian looked behind him was a confused expression
"But I already have a female mage from fairy tail" he stated "she arrived about ten minutes before you two did and asked me for the lead role. Of course I agreed"
"Another female fairy tail mage" Erza said quietly while Gray froze oh dear god no…
"Gray-sama" a voice cried and Gray groaned you've got to be kidding me
"Juvia" the ice and re-quip mages said in unison, the water mage looked up at Gray and blushed
"What are you doing here Juvia?" Gray asked trying to remain calm
"Well Juvia missed Gray-sama at the guild so Juvia decided she would go and help Gray-sama on the mission" Juvia said happily before looked down "plus Juvia has never been to the theatre before" Gray sighed well it's too late to do anything now he thought
"Yes, this mage came first and asked if she could help so I agreed. I'm not going to drop her" Rabian said before looking over at Erza "I'm sorry first come first serve" Rabian watched as the red head gritted her teeth before looking at the ice mage and then sending death glares to Juvia
"Can't you do anything" Gray asked
"But all the places are filled Gray-sama" Juvia stated
"I'm sure there is something" Erza said before looking back at Rabian "after all I mean this was our request originally"
Rabian paused for a moment and looked at the mages in front of him I wonder what is going on between them? It's obvious that the blue haired one is infatuated with the male but does he feel the same, he hardly seemed thrilled to see her. But what's going on with the red head? She defiantly didn't seem pleased, could it be jealousy? Oh this is too good! I can't let an opportunity like this go by! That's it I know what to do. Oh yes this is perfect…
Gray looked on at the small male in front of him what is going on in his head, whatever it is I'm sure it's not going to end well for me! "I know the perfect solution" Rabian declared clearing his throat which made all the mages look up "Erza, I do believe that is your name I have the perfect role for you" he stated which caused Juvia to gasp
"But you told Juvia that Juvia had the last female role" she pouted
"Well, I am the playwright so I can make roles up whenever I want" Rabian's reply caused Erza to smirk "as I was saying your role will be-"
