A/n: Okay, so for this one to make sense we are assuming that Loki a. doesn't have a weird obsession with Lucy and b. can come into the human world as he pleases. Again, this one is written for angel from the dark side.

Pairing: Loki/Gray

Genre: humor, romance (ish)

Cold

Gray had thought that there was nothing could be worse than listening to Lucy go on and on, as she had yesterday, about her date that evening with the 'super-awesome-guy' she had met at the super market.

He had been wrong.

As bad as the excited incessant ramblings had been, it was nothing compared to the annoyed, disappointed and slightly angry ones he was enduring now.

"-and I don't think he listened to a single thing I was saying!" she was telling her friend earnestly. "I mean I know I'm cute and all that but I could never be with someone who only sees me as something he can parade around as a prize and have a little fun with. I do have a brain!"

Gray was sure his brain was being fried right now. Sometimes he thought Lucy confused him with Erza, or even Natsu, who were a million times better at this sort of thing. He cared a great deal about Lucy, she was one of his very best friends, but he'd never been one for drawn out conversations.

"And I really thought I liked him!" she said, unaffected by Loki as he came and took a seat beside Gray who was sitting across from Lucy.

"What are we talking about here?" he asked.

Lucy was all to happy to start from the beginning. Gray would have inwardly groaned at having to sit through the whole thing again, because walking away from a friend in need was THE biggest faux-pas, but he was rather distracted at the moment and none of the conversation was registering with him right now.

Loki's arm was touching his.

And Loki was innocently acting as if he had no idea when Gray knew for a fact that he was doing it on purpose.

He contemplated moving his arm but, knowing Loki, that would only make things worse. After a moment of thought, he figured Loki couldn't really do much to make it worse in public like this, so he took his chances, crossed his arms and shifted just so, effectively ending the contact.

Loki smirked, unnoticed by Lucy, and casually moved his hand down to the bench where it could seemingly carelessly rest.

It was an all but careless action, Gray knew, because his hand was now touching his thigh.

Gray defiantly stared straight forward with slightly narrowed eyes. Moving his leg was out of the question. He decided his best bet was ignoring the touch completely, so he tried to turn back to the conversation.

"I mean, he was just so cold," Lucy whined. "What kind of person would want to date someone cold!"

Loki chuckled.

"Shut up," Gray hissed out of the corner of his mouth.

But, naturally, Loki didn't listen.

"Oh, I don't know about that," he was saying. "A little chill never hurt anyone."

Gray scoffed and Lucy gave him a strange look.

"Okay... but I mean, it's not like he cared about me. And that can hurt someone," she argued, still one eye on Gray who was looking away from Loki.

"That I'll agree with," Loki said, his hand now slipping up Gray's thigh and Gray was doing his best to avoid reacting. "Indifference can hurt." He threw a pointed look at Gray.

"It's not indifference! It's-" Gray cut himself off with a cough, glancing at Lucy. "Look Luce, the guy's a jerk and it's not like you knew him long enough to get attached. Just forget about him, yeah?"

There was a pause.

"You're right, I was just letting off some steam," Lucy said, sounding more confused than hurt. What Gray was saying was absolutely true but it wasn't like him to be so outright with it. He usually let her rant and she knew he understood her need to, so obviously something was distracting him and she was trying to figure it out.

Meanwhile, Loki's hand was getting more bold and was currently toying with the hem of Gray's shirt.

"Lucy, sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I just...Stop. It!" he said, batting Loki's hands away.

Lucy frowned. "Are you two...?" she trailed off, Loki was pouting at Gray and Gray was shoving a hand in his face. Her question was as good as answered. A slight smirk appeared on her face. "Annnyway, I guess I'll go find Erza and give you two a break from my rant," she said with a knowing look. She was totally over her date now because this information was so much more interesting.

"Look what you did! You as good as told her!" Gray hissed.

"So? She was going to find out eventually and it's not like she cares," Loki drawled, trying to tug Gray closer.

"I know it's just- urgh, you piss me off," he said getting up and and walking out of the guild.

"Wait!" Loki called, three steps behind him. He caught up to him right as they exited the guild and he pulled Gray around the corner. He trapped him against the wall and leaned in close. "Don't be so cold," he whispered before meshing his lips to Gray's.

Gray sighed into the kiss. "For now," he said before his lips were once again covered.

a/n: Okay, so we had a short break for a Gray centered story last chapter but now were back! XD Aaah, all the stuff I put him through... Poor boy... :P
