FAIRY TAIL. The name glistened under the bright sunlight. Ayame stood before the guild and took in a deep breath. Suddenly she started getting nervous, even though she's already been in here before. Gray took her hand and led her to the front door, noticing her nervousness. Ayame smiled at the hand that tugged her all the way here.
"This is it. It's really happening!" Ayame stated with confidence rising. Gray grew a smile, glad that she was gaining confidence. As they pushed open the double doors, streams of laughter poured out. Exactly the same as the first time she came to Fairy Tail. People laughing, cheering, fighting, drinking, all the festive aspects of Fairy Tail can be seen immediately when you walk into the guild.
Ayame looked over to the bar to find Lucy and a girl with beautiful, long silver hair clinking their drinks together. Lucy noticed Ayame by the door and signaled her to her. "Ayame! You're back already? I thought you guys would of taken longer."
"Yeah I would of stayed longer, but Mr. Ice Pants here wanted to get me back to Fairy Tail ASAP Rocky."
"Is there a special reason why he was in a rush to get you back here. Perhaps another boy?" Lucy chucked as she smirked. Ayame was not the type to blush at these types of comments, but did not expect Lucy to call her out on it. "Hahaha no." Ayame sarcastically answered. Lucy kept pestering, "C'mon tell me! Is it a boy? It's a boy isn't it? Who is it?" Ayame got annoyed real fast. Looking for a way to escape, Ayame scanned the room and made eye contact with Gajeel. Perfect.
Gajeel was sitting at the table with the adorable PantherLily. I guess he was pretty damn bored if he was just staring at PantherLily sipping his kiwi juice. Ayame put Lucy's pestering voice in the background and slipped off the bar stool. She walked up to Gajeel, and took the seat next to him. Cautious of Ayame's movements, Gajeel stared at her as she smiled and stared back at him.
After a few moment passed, Gajeel couldn't stand the silence anymore. "What do you want?" "What makes you think I want something from you?" "I dunno. I guess you randomly sitting next to me isn't considered a hint."
Ayame smirked at Gajeel's response, "Aww is Mr. Gajeel scared of me after our little encounter in the closet?" She couldn't help but giggle at how silly it was. "I did not say a single thing about the closet! And I'm not scared of anything for your information" Gajeel stood up turning a shade of red. "Oh sure oh sure, are you going to go run off on me now you little pussy." Ayame taunted him.
That did it for him. He forcefully grabbed her arm and pulled her up to his level. "Are you asking for something little girl." Gajeel stared down at her. Ayame chided, "As I stated earlier, what makes you think I'm asking you anything?" Gajeel couldn't even tell if he was just angry or if he was lusting for her, but he knew he had to take this someplace else.
As Gajeel began dragging Ayame towards the front door, a voice chimed in. "Actually I have a little something arranged previously with Ayame." It was Gray. "Tsk- why the hell do I gotta listen to you ice bastard?" Gajeel stated with annoyance.
Gray grinned, "Fair enough. Why don't we ask Ayame who she wants to go with. It's only fair she gets to decide." Ayame really didn't want to back away from Gajeel's arrangement, just because she already progressed this far into her game with him. But then she remembered the real deal she had with Gray. Just the thought of it gave her shivers down her spine.
"That's a no brainer." She gave Gray the look. She wants him so bad. She wants to feel weak, powerless in front of him. And Gray will make her feel that.
