~Erza's pov~

"Glass would you like some food?" I ask.

"Yes please I'm really hungry! Can I have ice cream?" She asks excitedly.

"Sure!"

'She seems like a sweet girl, the poor thing has been through a lot. Curiously she and Gray have many similarities.' I think to myself.

"Oi Natsu!" Happy exclaims as he Carla and Pantherlily come in after a mission.

"Wow! A flying cat!" Glass exclaimed.

"Who's she Lucy?" Happy asks.

"Aaaah so cuuuute!" Glass squeals excitedly. She runs over to where Happy is sitting on Natsu's shoulder, and scratches him behind the ears.

"Oi Glass! You should be more careful, you shouldn't be running," Gray says.

"You liiiiiiiike her!" Happy says rolling his tongue.

"SHUT UP YA DAMN CAT!" Gray exclaims.

I turn around and order a strawberry cake from Mira.

"Don't you think they would be so cute together?!" Mira says as she's giving me my cake.

"They do have several things in common," I say thoughtfully.

"It was a perfect idea for me to suggest she stay at Gray's house," She says with a glint in her eyes. 'She truly lives up to her name as the "demon matchmaker" ' I think to myself.

"So how are things with you and Jellal?" She asks quizzically.

"He's going to visit the guild tomorrow!" I say excitedly.

"Awe that's wonderful! Well I will leave you to your cake, I need to see if anyone wants any refills," Mira says.

"OI! WHAT DID YOU SAY METAL HEAD!" Gray exclaims loudly, getting up from the chair he was sitting on suddenly only in his underwear.

"Uh Gray... your clothes..." Lucy says sweat dropping. Glass blushing profusely.

"SHIT!"

"Gihee," Gajeel smirks.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Gray screams as he punches Gajeel in the face.

"I'm fired up now!" Natsu says with a grin. The three break out into a fight, I stand up. "NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR FIGHTING SO SIT YOUR ASSES DOWN!" I yell.

"Ye-yes ma'am!" Gray and Natsu say in unison.

"Wimps..." Gajeel mutters as he sits down.

"HEY I HEARD THAT!" Natsu exclaims.

"ENOUGH!" I say giving them a death glare. They sit down and the two start talking to Lucy and Levy.

'There childish antics are quite amusing,' I think to myself before going back to my cake.

~Gray's pov~

I look over at Glass, even covered in cuts and bruises, she's beautiful. Her ice blue eyes have a certain sparkle, like the sun glinting off a patch of ice. She looks tired, she probably hasn't had a decent nights sleep since she's been in that tower.

"Glass," I start.

"Yes?" She replies.

"Are you ready to go to my place, it's getting late?" I ask whilst yawning.

"Yeah I'm tired," I stand up, as does she and we head out of the guild.

When we get to my house I hold the door open for her and then we head into the small sitting area.

"You can sleep in my bed, I will sleep on the couch," I inform her.

"Are you sure?" She says uncertainly.

"Yeah go ahead. Do you have any pajamas to change into?" I ask. She shakes her head, I walk into the bedroom and get a t-shirt and sweatpants from my dresser.

"Here you can wear these for tonight, the bathroom is right there," I say pointing to a door towards the left of the chair she's sitting on. "You can also take a shower if you want, everything you need is in there"

"Arigotou," she says quietly, while standing up and walking to the bathroom.

I hear the shower turn on, I head towards my bedroom to get dressed.

I grab a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and throw them on real quick. I walk back to the sitting area and read until she gets out of the shower. I hear the door creak and look up from my book, Glass walks over and sits on the couch a few feet away from the chair I'm sitting in.

"Thanks for letting me stay with you..." She says as she yawns.

"No problem, the bedroom is right over there," I say pointing to the room behind her. "You can go to sleep whenever you want,"

'She looks so cute in my clothes.' I think to myself.

"Can I have some ice?" She asks.

"Oh yeah, dragon slayers can't eat their own magic right?" I say remembering how Natsu can't either. She nods her head, as I go to the kitchen to get a bowl to put some ice in. I feel the usual surge of magic in my hands as I fill the bowl with ice cubes. I hand her the bowl and she starts eating the ice. I can see her pale skin lighten a bit as she eats more ice, the bowl half empty now. She sets it down,"Most of my magic power has recovered now, thanks" She says smiling. "I'm going to go to bed now, I'm really tired," She says, as she stands up and walks into the bedroom.

I walk to the couch and prop up a pillow so I can try to get some sleep as well. I lay down and close my eyes, in a few minutes I'm asleep.

I don't know how long I was asleep but I wake up when I hear a scream. I jump off the couch and go into the bedroom, the sheet is on the floor and Glass is tossing around on the bed. I quickly walk over and realize that she's crying and most of her bandages have come off.

"Oi! Glass! It's just a dream wake up!" I exclaim as I reach over and shake her lightly. She wakes up fear evident in her eyes, as her tears are still streaming out.

"It's ok, it was just a bad dream," I say quieter this time, as she reaches towards me.

"Gray?" She whispers as I pull her close to me.

"Shhh, it's okay. You're safe now," I speak softly so she will calm down. "Do you want to talk about it?" I whisper. I hear her sniffle and then her tears stop as she pulls a little away.

"I had a dream about my family.." She says quietly.

"Maybe if you talk about what happened back then, you'll feel better. When I told my team about my past I felt a little bit better." I say equally as quiet.

"Well, when I was little my dragon, Coldfang, took me in. I don't remember anything about my original family so Coldfang was like a mom to me. She taught me magic and how to read and write. But seven years ago she just disappeared, I wandered around for a while until a nice family took me in. One month ago though, there was a monster in the village and I was the only one strong enough to defeat it. So I left my house to fight it, when I got back the door was ajar, I walked in and my family was tied up. I ran to them but suddenly mages jumped out and told me that my family owed them but that if I left they wouldn't harm me. I tried to fight them but I didn't know that there were more of them... I couldn't take all of them on by myself but I tried anyways. One of them said it was taking too long so to just go ahead and kill them then teleport back to their dark guild. I couldn't get to them in time and they were murdered right in front of me. It's my fault for not being strong enough!" She exclaimed now crying again.

"You did everything you could do, most people wouldn't stand a chance against all those mages," I say reassuringly. She looks up at me with pain in her eyes, I pull her towards me and she cries into my shirt.

"When I was younger my family was killed by a demon named Deliora, and then a mage named Ur took me in. But then she too was killed right in front of me by the same demon to save me. But now I look towards the future, and think that they would want me to be happy. I'm sure your family would too," I say reassuringly.

She sniffles and then stops crying, "But how did you move on?" She asks.

"I joined Fairy Tail and they've treated me like family and took me in,"

"Ca-can I join Fairy Tail?" She asks tentatively.

"Sure, you can join tomorrow,"

"Thank you," she says, no longer crying.

"No problem. Are you going to go back to bed now?" I ask.

"Yeah," she answers with a yawn. I get up and walk to the door.

"Gray?"

"What?"

"Ca-can you stay with me?" She asks quietly.

"Uh sure," I say walking over, she moves over so that I can lay down. I notice her bandages are still off, so I reach over to the bedside table and grab some more.

"Here sit up so I can re-wrap your wounds," I say. She sits up and I wrap up her wounds and then lay her back down, she had fallen asleep. I lay down next to her and soon I drift off to sleep.
