A/N: So I decided to write entirely with Gray's POV this chapter, just to change it up. Also check out episode 129, IT HAS A GRAYZA MOMENT! Well, sort of, you'll see. :/ Personally I think the episodes before the seven years were better, but FT lives on.

Chapter 3 – You Wanna Go?

I sighed again. It was just another day at The Sub, which consisted of monotonously slicing vegetables, hearing Natsu trying to pick fights with the customers, and avoiding Juvia.

"Gray would you please try to stick with the uniform for once?" Erza reprimanded as she passed by me and rolled her eyes.

"Look get off my case," I retorted. "I most definitely am wearing clothes." Right when I said that I looked down and of course my shirt had mysteriously gone missing. "Natsu what did you do with my shirt?" I asked with great annoyance. I was tired of Erza's comments on my clothes, or more like my lack of it. He had a nasty habit of hiding my stuff and I was determined to find where he put it, even if I had to beat it out of him.

There was a cool breeze that flooded the shop and in stepped Lucy, looking quite pleased with herself. "Gray," she eagerly greeted as she rushed toward me. She practically jumped on me and gave me a hug. "You would not believe how thankful I am that you invited me here to get a job. The interview was flawless!" She continued to talk until that someone with serious attachment issues rushed at the unsuspecting victim and knocked her to the floor.

"Stay away from Gray-sama! He is Juvia's only, especially without a shirt," she winked at me.

"Hey, get off her," I snapped. "Also, could you please stop with the winking?"

"Oh I'm sorry Gray-sama. I'll just hold your hand instead!" she said cheerily.

I mentally face palmed. She could not get it through her water logged brain that I was not interested in her.

Awright, I admit that today was not like the usual. Lucy kept everyone entertained with her impromptu sing-alongs and general charming demeanor. Customers came in from left and right. It hadn't been this busy since summer. Of course the best part of the day was Erza. She was basically a living hurricane, making one sandwich after another. I was smiling idiotically as I watched her whirl left and right, shouting orders at everyone. She also yelled at customers to move out of the way, even though Makarov had told her on plenty of occasions to act more like Mira. We all knew that would never happen, although The Sub employees do have bets placed on if Erza will ever be Mira-nized.

"Gray's got the hots for Erza!" Natsu obliviously smirked aloud.

"You little punk, not so loud," I urgently whispered. "Erza doesn't even see me that way and if we stand around here much longer we're both going to get smacked into tomorrow by her." I glared at him, trying willfully with my mind to shut him up.

"Oh yea, you wanna go?" Natsu challenged. "Erza, Gray says you're-"

I panicked and did the best thing I thought I could do at the time. Normally I'm pretty chill and I don't mind Natsu' naggings, but he went too far this time. Erza and my relationship was off limits. The tomato I was slicing one moment ago soared though the air and hit the intended target. Tomato skin and seeds dripped down his face. "Look man I'm sorry but-" My apology was cut off as I tasted something sweet and salty in my mouth.

"If you want a battle, I'll give you a war!" Natsu roared at me as he continued to pelt me with big slabs of meat.

"Natsu quit it this instant, you're scaring the customers away. Act like a young adult for once," Erza demanded with hands on her hips. My eyes subconsciously stayed there, appreciating her curves until I felt a cucumber slide down my back. I gave in and began to do a full on frontal assault against Natsu with anything I could find. Unfortunately one of those times I grabbed a book with a frayed cover and chucked it. That sent Erza, who had currently been telling Lucy she too mature to join in such childish battles, over the edge.

"Fullbuster, do you realize that was the book I had to beg, BEG, Levy for her to let me borrow?" she cried indignantly. She promptly joined the battle and now that it was 2 vs 1 I was getting pulverized. Erza continued to call me progressively worse names while squirting hot sauce at me and Natsu had moved on to the heavy loaves of bread. Not to mention the whole shop has gotten involved too. It was a mess until the one person I didn't want to see strode into the shop. He was the owner and boss of the Fairy Tail Sub Shop, Makarov Dreyar.

All he had to do was clap in order for the room to became deathly quiet. Employees were paused in various stages of throwing and ducking. "Scarlet, Dreyar, you have some explaining to do." He pointed to his office and to us underlings he threatened, "You guys clean up. I don't want to see one speck of a crumb by the time I'm done with these two. If I spot anything, all of your paychecks will suffer. Pah, kids these days." He shook his head while smiling and walked away with a timid Erza and Laxus following him. I can never tell if my boss is angry or proud of all our shenanigans.

Erza didn't talk to me for a week. Lucy told me she now always refers to me as "that jerk of a friend." The silence continued until I cornered her on a Monday afternoon. She was by Magnolia Fountain, which is in the center of campus.

"Erza, listen, are still mad at me? You do know that was a week and a half ago." She just glared at me. Nerves were starting to sink into my whole body and I knew I had to apologize and make it up to her before she stopped talking to me altogether. I took a deep breath and in my most gentlemanly voice I asked, "Would you like to go ice skating with me this Friday?"

"No," she simply stated with her arms crossed.

That was a blow to my ego, but luckily I don't give up that easily. "Aww come on, whatever your excuse is, it won't be better than my surprise. Of course I can't tell you unless you say yes." Visibly I could see her mind torn between staying firm and giving in. I silently pumped my fist in the air. She's gonna say yes!

Her voice wavered angrily, "You're pushing it Fullbuster, but I guess I'll go. Now tell me your surprise, you know they drive me crazy, " she stared at me, expecting a swift answer.

"Naw, I think you can wait," I grinned obnoxiously. My mind was screaming ohmygosh-ohmyfreakingeverything. The great Erza actually gave the green light. As I walked away to ice hockey practice she stood perfectly still with fists clenched, surely regretting agreeing. I called to her cheerily. "See you at midnight."

"Yeah, don't let my answer get to your head ice brain," she shot back, arms still crossed with a look of pure hatred in her beautiful, but threatening brown eyes.

A/N: Gray is the best, he narrates so awesomely and his personality is so chill and laid back. I love him! xD Also reviews are much cherished! Anywho, the shout-out corner is here.
