GraLu Week!

Chapter 3 Fear

She was always scared she was going to lost him to someone else even if he was her's to say. Even now sitting right besides him almost touching she was scared but thankful that none of her friends knew she was scared and that the fear was in her heart but also the love for him was in her heart. Her secret was that she loved him more then she had loved anyone but it would forever stay locked away in her heart hidden from the world and no one would know about it not even her letters to her mother, or her diary that she kept for secrets. Lucy felt her arm hit his and said "Sorry." quickly before getting up and smiling as she yelled "Good Night!" and leaving the guild to hurry home and try to get rid of her fear even though it would never leave her.

She sighed as she walked home and thought about how in the future Gray wouldn't be able to sit so close to her everyday and will get married to someone else and have a family while she just watches from the shadows with a fake smile on her face. Maybe she should leave the guild for awhile and go travel and train around Fiore and of course also hopefully get over this secret love for Gray that will never be shown.

Gray watched Lucy leave smiling that fake smile he had noticed her wearing more and more. He frowned while watching her then felt the fear in his heart start to rise up to the surface once again. His fear of losing her to someone else that is. No one knew of his secret love for Lucy Heartfilia, well okay that's a lie her spirits Gemini know from turning into him. But other then that no one knew and it would stay that way tell he died. Gray felt another sigh leave him and faked it as a yawn before standing and saying a "good night" to the guild then left to go home not even noticing that he lost his coat and shirt half way to his house.

"She's going to get married and leave you." A voice in Gray's head said "She's going to have kids and leave you forever."

"Shut up." Gray muttered hating how true the voice was.

"What are you scared of the truth? Your not even going to do anything to try to steal her heart anyways! What are you going to do when she's married and has kids?"

Gray was silent before saying "I'll leave but tell then i'm going to try to get her to love me like I love her and if she doesn't i'm just going be besides her!"

"Why don't you just say 'I love you' to her already?"

"I don't deserve her." Gray sighed not noticing her was only in his boxers now "But maybe one say I will be able to tell her." Gray then open his house door and walked in naked while his shoulders were slumped from the weight of his fear of losing Lucy weighed down his heart and body.
