CHAPTER 2

"Seriously, humans are so annoying!", Poluchska angrily dropped the cup on the table.

Lucy got up early. She's feeling well now. She went back to the guild and was welcomed by everybody.

"Oh lucy! You're back!", Elfman, Jet and Droy exclaimed.

"How's your wound Lucy-chan?", Mirajane asked while mixing a fruit drink for her.

"I'm fine Mira. Glad to see you all!"

"Oh I heard Gray and Loke were looking after her. SHE SOOOO LIKES THEM!" Happy blurted out. The whole guild looked at Gray.

Gray spewed his drink and blushed. Juvia is now preparing a water lock attack at Lucy.

"Hey you nudist, you like Lucy? Haha" Natsu laughed

"Why you little fire of stink!"

They fight and fight until Gray knocked Erza's drink spilling it on her skirt. Erza turned red hot in anger and was about to stand up when she accidentally kicked the glass which was knocked on the ground causing it to land on Mira jane's dress.

"Why you! Just because your skirt was stained doesn't mean you're staining mine!"Mira transformed herself into a demon and she and Erza fight.

The whole guild were in a ruckus everyone fighting each other. Loke suddenly appeared and put her shoulder around Lucy causing everybody to stop and look at them.

"How's my princess doing? I've come to check on you. I missed you."

"Err, Loke you're so close!" Lucy turned red.

Gray's face darkened and stopped fighting Natsu. He sat down crossing his arms.

"Why you nudist! We're not done yet!" Natsu shouted. Erza then punched him on the face.

"My princess, what do you want? Anything?"

"Loke I'm fine. Thank you!"

The whole guild was watching them. Lucy was now feeling awkward and nervous. Her heart beat nonstop as Happy was looking and grinning at them. The whole guild cheered and teased them saying they were a couple. Gray's face even got darker and darker. Juvia noticed it and was heatbroken. She knew all along that her Gray-sama loves Lucy Heartfilia. Although Lucy didn't know about it.

Gray stood and approached Mirajane at the counter. He felt pain in his chest. Mira-chan felt pity for him while the guild was still cheering for Lucy and Loke together.

"Gray! Why don't you just tell her!"

"I can't! She just sees me as a friend…an important friend." Gray's chest was now so painful.

"If you don't do anything, Lucy might fall for Loke!"

Gray punched the table. Everyone stopped and looked at him as he ran away. Lucy saw the sadness in his face and was clueless as to what's going on.

Loke held Lucy tightly in his arms bending over her and kissing her forehead. She blushed and the whole guild started teasing them again.

"What's wrong with that nudist." Natsu wondered.

"You're so slow Natsu." Erza said.

Natsu crossed his arms while Happy was giggling.

"This is exciting. They sooooo like her!"

Lucy and Loke walked together. She smelled him and she thinks his fragrance was manly and nice. Loke stopped and faced her.

"Lucy…" he grabbed her left hand.

Lucy's eyes widened. Her jaw dropped and she was now red hot.

"Seriously, is that another pick up line to pick up girls?" Lucy released her hand from his grip.

"No..you're wrong." Loke can't look Lucy in the eyes. He turned away from her blushing a bit. "No. You're wrong Luce."

"What?...I don't understand.."

Loke vanished. Lucy was left alone by herself. She walked inside her apartment. She sat down and watch her hand which Loke grabbed. She felt that her heart leaped. Suddenly she noticed she was not alone in her apartment.

"YO!" Gray grabbed her shoulder. Shocks electrocuted her. She turned her head finding Gray standing there half nude.

"AND WHO TOLD YOU TO STRIP!"

"gahhhh! I didn't know! Sorry!"

"It's okay. So..err..why are you here?"

"I just want to see if you're alright."

"I'm fine Gray, thanks! Would you like a drink? "

"No..I should be going now." Gray went out without even looking at her.

Lucy wondered why this day seemed so weird. Gray and Loke were acting so weird. She just sighed and sat for awhile. She got angry thinking that all the people are leaving her without even saying goodbye. "Damn both of them!" Later she fell asleep.

The guild was again in the middle of fighting when Lucy entered it. She sat down with Levy and the group. Levy was now impatient about the novel she's been writing. The blonde mage's mind was now nowhere. She was looking for Gray but couldn't find him anywhere.

"If you're looking for him, he's on a mission." , Erza said as she joined her in the table.

Lucy blushed. "Ugh, no."

"Really Lucy?" Erza's eyes pierced through her.

"Hey Lucy! Let's do a job!", Natsu and Happy entered the guild.

"I think I'll pass for now. I just received a letter from the Jurener family."

"Jurener? Is that a food? "

"You're an idiot Natsu." Happy said

"My father's partner in his business, he wants me to marry their only son Jared."

"What the—"

"I thought you cut ties with your father?" Erza was shocked.

"I did, but it seems Jared really likes me. I have to do something about it or the guild would be in trouble again."

"We will go with you!" Erza and Natsu both exclaimed.

"No, it's my duty. You don't need to. Thanks anyway. "

"Just be careful."

"I will." Lucy left Fairytail and headed back to her own home. The Heartfilia Mansion.
