The Counted Days

by heyits.detorekim

"There are 365 days in a year. But we are only given 7 out of 365. Look at the bright side! We are together. Let us make the most out of it." Both a oneshot compilation and a countdown to GrayLu Week 2014! Celebrated from 1st to 7th of September. Let's get this show on the road! Transferred from Wattpad. FFN will be my new HQ. :)

The Popsicle Taste Test

✖ ɢяαчℓυ ✖

"Gray, give it here!" Lucy jumped up and down, trying to reach her tangy Popsicle. Gray took it the moment she opened the wrap.

But Gray never said a word. Just occasional chuckles, and a huge grin plastered on his face. His attitude has been like this for almost a month now; always cheerful, and teasing towards Lucy. This made Juvia fume, but knowing Gray, he seemed not to notice. But Lucy does! She gets death glares and threats everyday from her! She likes Gray being cheerful and all, but the teasing? Not so much. So she wishes he would stop. Lucy stands on the tip of her toes just to reach her weird, but tasty, citrus Popsicle. But Gray's arms are longer than hers; not to mention his height towers over her.

"Hey Gray, don't make this hard for—don't you dare eat it—no! Graaaayyy..."

Too late, he already bit the top off. She pouted in despair. "I haven't even tasted an orange popsicle yet."

"So, you only wanted a taste?" Gray said, after swallowing the part he bit off. That huge grin appearing on his face again.

"Yeah...and it's the only one left," she said, almost in a whiny way.

And he did the most unexpected thing: he took Lucy's waist, pulled her close and kissed her. 'In the middle of the streets of Magnolia, with people around...' Those thoughts were scrambling in her mind. And what if Juvia saw this? She'd kill her in her sleep! He pulled away, and she was still dazed. The Popsicle was yummy. He, Gray was...yummy. Damn it though, he caught her off guard.

"Damn you, you exhibitionist, perverted, son of a gun ice mage stripper!" She screamed and chased him. He was laughing while running backwards, still holding the Popsicle. She was deep scarlet, half-happy, half-'couldn't-believe-it.' But in the end, Gray would still remain, in Lucy's mind, tasted like an orange-flavoured popsicle.

"Yummy..."

Meanwhile, in a corner of Fairy Tail HQ: Juvia is sulking and crying. "Ugghhh, Lucy made Gray-sama kiss her!"
