Hi guys! I hope you like this chapter!
It was now Lucy's second week of school. She stuck close to Gray, "I don't wanna go" she keeps whispering as she buries her head in Gray's shoulder while walking to school, he rubs her back "Its ok ill be with you" Lucy nods her head.
They get to school and when Lucy sees Bora she freezes up, Gray looks back at her "What's wrong?" She pointed to Bora "Its ok" They walk by Bora and he sees them "Well if it isn't the girl who ignored me" Lucy started panicking "Leave us alone Bora" They walk away. Lucy starts crying "I'm sorry" Gray sadly smiles at her "Don't worry about it ill do anything for you?" Lucy blushed.
They walked into class and sat down. The bell rung and class started. Their teacher Mr. Gildarts walked in. "Alright kids I'm taking a nap so be quiet!" He says while walking to his desk and puts a news paper over his face. Lucy sighs in relief "I'm glad its now a free period" she takes out a book and starts reading Gray looks over and smiles. "Why are you reading we can do anything!" Lucy shrugs "It makes me feel comfortable" Gray nods and puts his arm around her.
"After school want to go to the pool with me and some of my friends?" Lucy put the book down and thought 'nothing will happen and Gray will be there' She turned to him and smiled a small smile "Sure that sounds fun" Lucy closes her book and puts it back in her bag. "Gray I think I'm gonna make a new friend today" Gray smiles as Lucy looks around the room and she sees a girl with blue hair reading a book.
Lucy walks over and sits in the seat next to her, Levy looks over and smiles "Hi I'm Lucy" Levy smiles and closes her book "Hi I'm Levy. Can I call you Lu-Chan?" Lucy smiles "Sure if I can call you Levy-Chan" Lucy's eyes widen "I love book I want to be an author someday! I'm even writing one now!" Levy looks down at her book "Yea they are my happy place. And Lu-Chan can I read your book when your done?" Lucy blushes "S-sure" Levy cheers
"Hey Levy want to go swimming with me after school? I'm going with Gray and a couple of his friends and I would feel better if I knew two people rather than one" Levy thinks then smiles "I would love to Lu-Chan!" Lucy writes her number down "Here is my number now we can talk after school" Levy writes her number down and gives it to Lucy "And here is mine Lu-Chan" Lucy takes her phone out and puts the number in her contacts then texts Levy.
levy's phone vibrates and she sees the text from Lucy "I got the text Lu-Chan" Lucy smiles "Great and where is your address so I know where to walk to pick you up" Levy writes it down Lucy eyes widen "That's next door to mine!" Lucy giggles "Really then how have we not meet yet?" Levy asks while Lucy shrugs. "Alright so well will walk home and at 4:30 and we will walk to Gray's friends house" Levy nodded "I cant wait!" Levy cheers "Me to!" They hug and Lucy walks back over to Gray.
"I made a new friend and she is coming swimming with us!" Lucy smiled and Gray smiled "That's great Lucy". The bells rings signaling lunch. Lucy walks with levy "Want to sit with me Lu-Chan?" Lucy looks at Gray and he smiles and nods and Lucy turns back to Levy "Sure" They walk over to a table and sit. Levy pulls out a orange bento box while Lucy pulls out a blue one with stars. They were talking and eating peacefully until Bora came back and sat next to Lucy. Lucy froze in shock and dropped her chop sticks, Levy was in the same position.
"Hello Lucy. Are you gonna ignore me again?" Lucy bent her head down so her bangs were covering her eyes. Bora was getting mad "Please leave me alone" She very quietly said. "No I'm not gonna 'Leave you alone'" He says while making air quotes. Lucy started shaking "Are you ever gonna talk or are you just gonna be scared all your life?" Lucy started tearing up again and Bora laughed "Wow your so weak!" Bora laughed louder and stood up and pushed Lucy off the bench "Ahhhhh!" Lucy screamed as she fell "Lu-Chan!" Levy yelled while running to her.
They now had the whole cafeterias attention. And Lucy didn't like attention.
"Lucy!" "Lulu!" "Luce!" Gray Sting and Laxus and Natsu run over. Lucy curls herself into a ball and starts crying "Aww is somebody crying?" Bora laughs. Gray gets mad "Why are you so mean to her? She doesn't deserve this from you at all! Do you even know what this girl has been through? She does not deserve this at all! I bet you haven't even experienced a quarter of what she had to go through in your whole life! So you better back off cause she has us behind her and you don't want to deal with us!" Gray yells and Bora is speechless as well as the rest of the cafeteria.
Lucy stands up brushes her skirt off and walks out of the cafeteria. The five look at each other and Levy runs out screaming "Lucy!" It was serious because she didn't even bother to use the honorific. Levy saw Lucy run into the bathroom so she runs in to. "Lucy are you ok?" Levy finds Lucy in the corner curled up into a ball crying. Lucy shakes her head no. Levy walks over and sits with Lucy and hugs her "Its ok Lucy" Levy rubs her arm "Hey to get your mind off of it how about after we go swimming we can have a sleepover" Lucy looks up "Yea but can we do it at my house it would make me feel better" Levy smiled "Of course"
They walk out of the bathroom and back to the cafeteria and to Lucy's relief every one was talking again like nothing ever happened. They walked back to the table and began to eat again. But this time Lucy was silent. The bell rung and they went back to class. The same thing as before happened Mr. Gildarts fell asleep and they had the rest of the day to themselves. Lucy pulled out her book and Gray looked concerned "Lucy are you ok? I'm sorry he was mean and he shouldn't have done that" Lucy put a small smile on her face "You shouldn't be apologizing, you didn't do anything. You helped me I should be thanking you" Lucy kissed him on the cheek.
Gray blushed a little "It really wasn't a problem. That's what friends are for right?" Lucy smiled "Right" Gray looked at Lucy and took a deep breath 'Its nor or never Gray!...Wait what if she says no? What if she never talks to me again?' Gray was mentally panicking then he remembered 'She trusts me and fells comfortable with me, Plus she isn't that type of person' He looked Lucy in the eye "Lucy ever since I meet you I knew you were special. You are the best no perfect girl imaginable for me. I love protecting you making you fell safe, being one of the only people you trust, and most importantly I love you Lucy! Will you do me the honor of going out with me?"
Lucy looked like she was gonna cry, but not sad tears happy tears. "I would love to Gray!" Gray sighs in relief and hugs her. "We should tell my brothers" Gray smiled "They already know"
Flashback...
Gray up to Sting and Laxus. He took a deep breath. "Sting Laxus I have to tell you something," They looked at him "Ok what is it Gray?" Laxus asked "I really like Lucy and I want your permission, I believe I will be good for her because I will protect her, I will make her feel special, and I will stick by her no matter what" Sting and Laxus looked at each other then back to Gray, and to his surprise they smiled. "Of course you can date Lucy we wouldn't want anybody else!" Gray sighed in relief.
"Thanks guys" He fist bumps them. "Lucy is coming to a pool party with me after school as well as Levy want to come?" Sting nods his head "Yea ill go" Laxus does the same thing "Ill come to" Gray smiles "Alright its at Lyon's house" They nod and Gray walks away to go and find Lucy.
Flashback ends...
Lucy walks over to Levy "Hey Levy guess what?" Levy looks up and notices Lucy smiling "Yes Lu-Chan?" Lucy smiles even wider "Gray asked me out!" Levy jumps up and hugs Lucy "That's great Lu-Chan" Lucy smirks "Now all we have to do Is get you and Gajeel together" Levy stops jumping and blushes "H-how did y-you k-know about t-that?" Lucy smiles "I have seem you around him Levy" She blushes even harder "I-Is it really that obvious?" Lucy giggled "Yea" Levy put her head in her hands. Lucy laughed "Its ok Levy I wont tell anybody" Levy nods and they talk till the bell rings. "Gray do you want to walk home with Levy and I?" He grabs his backpack as well as Lucy's.
The girls walk ahead of him "I cant wait for the party Lu-Chan!" Lucy jumps "Me either. I haven't been to one in years!" Lucy cheers as they get to her house "I will be over in a half hour to pick you up" Levy smiles "Ok and is it alright if I bring a friend?" Lucy turns to Gray and he nods "Yes you can levy" Levy smiles "Great ill bring Gajeel" Levy blushes remembering their earlier conversation "Ohhhhh~" Lucy teases. "Ill see you soon Lu-Chan" Levy says while walking next door.
Lucy giggles as her and Gray walk inside. "Hey Sting Hey Laxus! You guys excited for the party?" Lucy asks while Gray hugs her from behind. They smile "Yea we are" Sting laughs. "I'm gonna go get ready" Lucy walked upstairs and pulled out some jean short shorts, a white bikini with a pale pink flower and white bottoms and she put her hair into a high ponytail. She also grabbed her bag and put a white tee shirt, sun block, sun glasses, a towel, and a change of clothes. She also grabbed a jacket and put it in her bag. She pulled her phone out of her back pocket and texted Levy 'Ill be there in five minutes' and she walked downstairs.
Gray turned around and was speechless. She looked amazing in her shorts and top and her hair. Her pink flip-flops brought the whole outfit together. "I'm going to get Levy. Gray where is the party?" He smiles "Lyon's house and since you don't know where that is ill walk you Levy and Gajeel" Lucy smiled "Ok " And held her hand out Gray grabbed it and they walked out "See you guys there!" Lucy yelled and they walked to Levy's. Lucy knocked on the door and the guy who opened it had multiple face piercings, jet black long hair, and a lot od muscles. I'm short Lucy was terrified "I-I'm h-here for L-levy" Lucy shakily and quietly said. "Hey Gray" Gray waved "Hi Gajeel" Lucy looked shocked "You two know each other?"
They nod "We were best friends in middle school actually" Gray says "And really good friends now actually" Gajeel adds Lucy still look terrified. "Lu-Chan!" Levy yells as she runs up and hugs Lucy. "You got you bags for the sleepover cause we can run them up to my room real quick" Levy holds up her bag "Lets go!" They leave and go to Lucy's house and leave the boys "Your lucky she talked to you and didn't ignore you" Gajeel looked confused "A lot has happened to her and she is scared of most people. She wont even talk to Natsu, but I guess since your Levy's friend she is ok with it" Gajeel nods "Thanks for letting me know. What's your relationship with bunnygirl?" Gray smiles "She is my girlfriend" Gajeels eyes widen "Really I thought it would be best friends or something"
"Gray Gajeel come on!" Lucy yells while sting and Laxus join the girls. "What are they doing here?" Gajeel asks "They are my brothers" Lucy smiles and Gajeel looks shocked "I have been over to your house so many times how come I haven't seen her?" Gajeel points to Lucy "Don't know but Levy had the same reaction" Lucy shrugs. "Come on Gray lets go" He chuckles and puts his arm around her.
Its only a 10 minute walk to Lyon's house. When they get there Lucy starts playing with her swimsuit "Levy do I look ok?" Levy smiles. "You look fine Lu-Chan" Levy giggles. They walk into the house and Gray looks at Lucy "Want to meet Lyon?" Lucy takes a deep breath "Sure" Gray takes her to Lyon.
"Hey Lyon" Gray does a hand shake with him "Hello Gray" Lyon looks at Lucy, "Who is this? She is stunning" Lyon smiles and Lucy blushes and hides behind Gray "This is Lucy. She is my girlfriend, she is very shy" Lyon smiles and looks behind Gray. "Hello Lucy I'm Lyon" Lucy waves and mutters a small "Hello" Gray smiles "I'm glad she is talking to more people" Gray looks behind his shoulder at Lucy. "I got to go talk to somebody. Lucy its ok to talk to him" He kisses her cheek and walks away.
"Its ok Lucy your fine with me. I'm Gray's best friend/brother and he trusts me so could you please trust me as well?" He says gently while smiling. Lucy nods "Perfect. Now do you want to meet some of my friends?" Lucy looks up and Lyon can see the fear in her eyes. "You will be fine, they are really nice and ill be there" He holds out his hand and Lucy hesitantly takes it. He takes her over to a group of guys sitting by the pool. "Hey guys I want you to meet Lucy"
All the guys look over and Lucy becomes nervous so she clings to Lyon's arm. "Lucy this is Loke, Rogue, Jellal, Mystogan, and last but not least Romeo" Lucy looks over to Romeo and sees a 12 year old boy she walks over and hugs him "You are the cutest thing ever!" He blushed "Thanks..." Gray walks over "I see you've met Romeo" Lucy smiles and keeps hugging him. Gray chuckles, "Gray how did you meet such a beautiful princess?" Loke walks over and kisses her hand and she pulls back and then hugs Gray. Gray smiles "Lucy is very shy so don't take it personally. And to answer your first question I meet Lucy almost a month ago when her brothers Sting introduced her to me. Lucy just started high school at that point and she is in all my classes so I helped show her around"
"I didn't know Sting had a sister. I have been over to his house but I have never seen you. Why haven't I seen you before?" Rogue questions the girl "I'm either in my room or one of my brothers or I was not home" Rogue nods. Romeo runs up "Your brothers are Sting and Laxus? They are awesome!" Romeo jumps up and down "They are here if you want to meet them" Romeo's eyes widen "I would love to!" Lucy giggles and takes Romeo's hand and they leave.
"Wow Gray she seems nice" The very quiet Jellal spoke "Yea and she is very pretty to" Mystogan smiles "Yea I'm luck to have found a girl like her" Gray smiles and the boys eyes widen "Lucy is your girlfriend?" Loke screamed "Yup" Gray suddenly got serious "Your very lucky she talked to you, Something happened in her past and that's what caused her to miss some of middle school and high school. Ever since it happened she wouldn't talk to anybody other than her brothers. And lately she has been talking more, So please don't push things with her or anything like that. I'm still surprised she talked to Romeo and then held his hand"
The guys eyes widen and they all nod in understanding. "Now that that is out of the way, I haven't seen you guys in a couple of weeks so what's been going on?" Jellal smiled "I got Erza to go out with me" Gray smiled "Is she here cause if she is I think she would be great for Lucy" Jellal nodded "Yea she is here"
Suddenly Lucy screamed and ran over to Gray "There is some crazy red head chasing me and asking me random questions!" Jellal and Gray laughed "That's Erza" They said in unison and as if on cue Erza came over "There you are I was wondering if you like strawberry cake?" Lucy looked confused and scared but answered "Yes" Erza's eyes lit up "Great come have some with me" Erza dragged Lucy away "Gray help me!" Gray laughed "You will be fine" And the two were out of sight.
"Poor Lucy, She doesn't even know how Erza gets around strawberry cake" Jellal shook his head while the other guys laughed.
