Author's Note: Here's the second chapter and to give a head's up, think of all the interactions with the guys the same way the Earthland Sugarboy did with Gray to give an idea on how they see him. Please leave a review, I'm always looking for things to improve on.

Chapter 2

While Juvia continued to sulk alongside her first friend from Phantom Lord, the Ice mage was a little ticked off as he sat with his team, arms folded across his chest and a scowl glared to a pink haired dragon slayer. He had just gone to the bathroom for less than a few minutes and when he came back everyone was drinking away the punch and before he could even grab a cup for himself to see how it tastes, Natsu comes around and knocks him off his feet. Not long later a fight between the two broke out that was immediately stopped by Erza just as soon as Gray fought back.

"Sorry you missed out on the punch Gray." Lucy said as she looked at the scowling Ice mage before he sighed and turned his attention to her.

"It's fine, the damned flaming hot head's the reason why I didn't get any." He replied while said hot head glared back with a smirk crossed against his face.

"You were too slow ice princess, you snooze you lose." Natsu said with a taunting tone before he felt something odd shake from deep within him as he looked at Gray.

"Tch, whatever flame breath." Then before Natsu's very eyes, the scene of Gray surrounded by flowers with an unbelievable beautification to his very being was shown as he looked back with sad shy eyes.

"Please understand Natsu, that what you're saying affects me more than you think." The newly imaged Gray said as Natsu immediately jumped away from the booth, his heart beating much faster than it normally does and he couldn't find the words to say anything.

"The Fu-" Natsu couldn't finish his sentence as a hard glare from Erza stopped him, since he fully knows her opinion of foul language in her presence. The rest of Team Natsu looked at him strangely as he kept his distance before turning around and walking away brisk-fully.

"What in the hell was that all about?" Gray mused as Erza shrugged her shoulders, while Happy gave off his signature 'Aye' as he continued to eat his fish. Out of everyone, Lucy had noticed how his stare completely changed as he looked at Gray. She looked at him as well, trying to figure out what he saw, but as she continued to look at his features her mind kept her true feelings at bay.

Although her mind made sure she was conscious of how her feelings for Gray should be kept hidden, the potion she unknowingly drank made said ability an uphill battle. It was as if the world around her had stopped and the one thing she saw was a beautified Gray in front of her. Lucy's mind kicked into over drive as Gray leaned over the table and placed the back of his cool hand on her forehead. She thought he used his magic because she was frozen on the spot.

"Hey are you alright?" He said as the beating of her heart increased ten-fold.

Luce, please tell me you're alright. You're burning up and I'm worried that you're getting sick, but don't worry I'll take care of you." Lucy was in fact blushing by the gesture, but mildly where as now her cheeks rivaled that of Erza's hair. Said mage had taken interest in the blonde's behavior as she didn't make eye contact with Gray.

Lucy reached up and moved Gray's hand away, laughing very nervously as her heart wouldn't settle down and her mind couldn't think of anything to clearly say. Luckily she was saved when an obnoxious blue cat said his favorite catch phrase to potential couples.

"She lllliiiikeeeesss him!" This in turn snapped her back into reality and helped her clear her mind for an excuse.

"Can it you stupid cat!" Lucy exclaimed as she stood up from the booth, "I'm going to see what happened to Natsu." With that she went on her way with a mocking Happy following right behind her, giggling at the blonde's reaction.

"Well that was weird, what do you think Erza" Gray said as he turned to look at the Scarlet, but found out she was busy eating her favorite strawberry cheesecake. He sighed assuming that she didn't pay much attention to what had happened, but he didn't know that she used it as a distraction.

When Gray was checking on Lucy, Erza felt something tug at her heart strings seeing the blonde get his attention. Something inside of her wanted to push Lucy out of the way and have Gray to herself, but she knew that she had to restrain herself before she did something she come to regret. Luckily she remembered that her cheesecake was right next her and focused on that, but she was shocked that it did little to keep her mind at ease.

"I believe she was just a bit off for the time being Gray." Erza said, finishing off her cheesecake until realizing that it was just herself and Gray.

Immediately she knew something was off because her confidence was slowly melting away with Gray looking right at her. She didn't understand how her own barrier of sternness was dwindling just by being looked at and soon enough her image of Gray had also changed. Instead of flowers however, she saw him with strawberry cheesecake in his hand smiling kindly to her as she felt like she was losing herself in his dark pools.

She came to when Gray shook her shoulder gently, trying to avoid being struck if Erza was out of it. That reflex has gotten him a number of times and he's got witnesses to back him up, but he found it hilarious when it was Nastu being set flying.

"Hey Erza, you alright?" He asked pulling his hand back down to the table as she blinked once she was out of her fantasy. "You kinda spaced out there for a bit."

"I'm fine Gray, if you'll excuse me I'm going to get some more cake." He nodded as she stood up and went for the dessert table, thinking hard of what just happened. "What is happening to me, why did I feel as if Lucy was taking him away from me?" Erza thought getting closer to the table, hoping some more cake would sooth her mind a little more.

Back at the table, Gray sat there completely confused with everyone's behavior except for Happy's because he seemed normal enough in his way. Not long into his thoughts was he then interrupted by someone plopping down next to him. He looked to see a drinking Cana smiling at him, beer in her hand as she giggled to herself. At least the card mage would keep him company until the others came back.

"Hey Cana, what's up?" He asked as she finished her mug with a satisfied lick of her lips.

"Nothing much, but Gray I've got to tell you something." She said, her giggling continued although the blush on her face was unclear if it came from her drinking or if it was natural.

"Alright shoot, what do you need to say?"

"I think that you are one hot ass guy!"

"...What?"
