A/N: Geez guys, for the millionth time I'm so sorry for not updating sooner. But I'm happy to announce that next week is my Spring Break so that means a) sleeping in and b) updates will be on time! With all this time on my hands I may even be able to update more than once a week. :D

Chapter 9 – April Fools

"Gray stop taking pictures of literally everything!" I half-shout, half-laugh at a certain raven haired man. On second thought, man isn't the right word to describe Gray, immature 14 year old boy is more like it.

"But why? You were looking so candid!" Gray whines as he uses his height to his advantage to tower over me. I desperately try to grab that annoying square box that dangles over me like a carrot. All that idiot does is laugh as he watches me jump up and down to no avail. "Hold up, ok? I have something really important to do." Right when I am about to threaten Gray that I will drag him through campus he drops my phone neatly into my hand.

I give him a death glare and sit down on the grass to delete those 1,000 unnecessary photos he took. I type in my 4-digit password until I realize that it's not working. The consternation is evident on my face as I try again to get in. I look up from my phone with literal flames in my eyes as realization dawns on me. "Are you freaking kidding me Gray, changing my password? How old are you?" I say in a slightly playful, but mostly annoyed voice. I brush off the grass on my pants as I stand up to face him, knowing almost for a fact that he'll crumble in 30 seconds and tell me the pattern.

In response Gray crosses his arms and smirks at me even harder. "Well, to get it back you're gonna have to kiss me."

That sends me over the edge and I'm about to give him the talk (or beating) of his life when I stop opening my mouth, an evil plan forming in my mind. Hmmm I could really mess with him right now. I take two swift strides toward him and wrap both my arms around his neck. His handsome dark blue eyes widen in surprise, he definitely was not expecting this. I whisper something intelligible in his ear, pushing him to the ground and trying my best to make him weak at the knees. I lean in, tug at his collar, and when he closes his eyes I give him a quick kiss on the forehead, then spring away from our embrace. I take off sprinting, leaving him looking so bewildered I laugh aloud. That jerk deserves some of his own medicine. I call back, "Too bad that I have Lucy to break into my phone!" I didn't do track for nothing.

"Hey Erza, what are you doing? I thought you were gonna meet Jellal at 12:30 and it's already," Lucy pauses to look at her watch, "noon."

"Umm Lucy, there's a clock literally 5 feet away from where you are standing."

"Shut up and just answer the question."

I smile to myself; we've known each other long enough that it's ok to insult each other. I swerve my chair around to face her, holding out my finished story of the day Gray and I shared our first, almost kiss. Lucy reads silently for a few minutes and once finished her face lights up. "Ohhh, now I get why you came to me last month asking me to break into your phone. I remember trying to pry it out of you what happened but you were your normal stubborn self. What gives?"

I sigh, "Lucy, I didn't tell you about that day because I was, and honestly still am confused about what happened. When I leaned in to him I almost abandoned my plan, because I could see the genuine care he has for me. It's in the way he carries himself and I catch that look he gives me whenever he's listening to me. I would've kissed him right then and there but something in me was holding me back. Well, after what happened with Jellal I guess I was afraid it would end the same way with Gray." I took a deep breath and concluded my story to Lucy. "I wanted to write down that moment Gray and I shared before I meet Jellal. So if he talks trash about Gray I can go back to that moment and remember what a gentleman Gray is. I just hope I didn't hurt him when I played that trick on him, yesterday he acted so odd it hurt."

Lucy pulls me in for a hug, "I'll find out what's up with Gray. You just focus on kicking Jellal's ass." She always knows how to crack me up and I pull away, laughing at the thought. My arm bumps into the wall that my calendar is hanging on and I realize what day it is. The first of April. Irony can be so cruel.

A/N: This chappy was kinda like a intro to Erza and Jellal's big meeting. I also wanted to make at least some of the chapter to have Grayza fluff moments in it. I was missing their interaction already. xD Also I know that I missed April 1st by two days (so bummed I couldn't post on the day) but yeah, I guess sleep is kinda important. xD Soo enough with me, onto the shout-out corner!
