Ok i know its shorter than usual but i jut had to type this scene out while it was fresh in my head. Oh and no need to worry Danish i'm not rushing. In fact i'm not nearly as far into the story as i would've liked. I'd say its like 1/8th of the story not counting the romance i'll sneak in. Now about my upcoming story THE SOUND OF MY HEART. I really need your help. So if your willing either PM me or review it doesn't matter i want you to tell me your choice for the main pairing. Like i said i want it to be Graylu or Grayza but i'm open to suggestions. So this is what i'd like you to do. When reviewing/PM type mp=(whichever ship you'd like 2 see as the main pairing, must involve gray) and so=(whichever other couples you'd like to see). I really want some feedback as i'm anxious to start a new story so plz, plz help me out. Thanks for reading my incessant rambling so hope you enjoy.
Gray had no idea where he was supposed to go. After the party at the guild subsided everyone began to disperse themselves. Even Cassandra got to stay at Cana's. Its true Gray had his own place but he wasn't really in the mood to go there at the moment. After all it would be a total mess and he was pretty sure it wasn't good to sleep in that kind of environment. So there he was wandering around town with no place to go so naturally there was only one place he could think of. The one person he could impose on without a care in the world, Lucy.
So he headed for Lucy's house, admiring the scenery along the way. The street lights illuminated the roads and gave them a tranquil beauty. None more so than the street leading to Lucy's house with the canal. Gray had a lot of fond memories going to and from this lane and the water's surface bathed in light seemed to draw them out. He was so transfixed by the water that he hadn't been paying attention to where he was going not that you would need to at that time of night. Nonetheless someone ran right into him.
Gray, as well as said person were both knocked on their bums. Gray was about to tell the person off because if you think about it how was it possible to bump into someone in an empty alley but when he saw who it was the words immediately got caught in his throat. It was none other than Erza Scarlet.
"Gray!" "Erza!" They said simultaneously. "What are you doing here?" Again in total sync.
Erza let out a cute little giggle that made Gray blush for some reason. They both recounted the reasons as to why they were there. Gray saying how he was hoping to spend the night at Lucy's and Erza saying how she had just come from Lucy's. They began to make idle chatter about unimportant things and at some point they both ended up sitting at the water edge, feet dangling right above the surface.
It hadn't occurred to them how romantic the atmosphere was. The full moon shining down on them from above. The water twinkling line fine jewellery. Both of them sitting shoulder to shoulder enveloped in the stillness of the night. Neither of them anxious to disrupt the comfortable silence, till Erza finally spoke.
"Lucy told me." Gray wondered what she meant but then she continued. "She told me why you left… I'm sorry I hit you."
Gray let out an exasperated sigh. "What's with everyone. I'm the one who left and yet you're the ones who're sorry. It's really getting annoying." He turned to look her straight in the eyes. "So let me just say it once. Sorry Erza… I'm back." She had a gorgeous smile on her face and without realizing it Gray found himself leaning forward. His eyes locked with hers. But then she turned away.
She spoke with a sorrowful tone "You really have changed Gray. It makes me feel kind of old."
"Heh I know what you mean."
"Do you remember that day? The day you saw me at the river bank. That was the first time I felt like part of the guild. I really felt like you would always be there for me."
"Er-"
"But then you disappeared and I felt alone again. But things happened while you were gone and now I feel like I can finally open up to everyone…Well that's all I wanted to say." She got up and dusted her skirt off and walked away.
As she was walking away Gray felt as though she was walking away from him. Moving on while he stayed behind. Still just the same little kid chasing after her without a reason still stuck on his own inner riverbank. He sat there allowing the time to go bye and before he knew it he could see the first rays of the morning sun. He had stayed up all night. It was a new day and maybe the beginning of a new romance.
