"Erza!" Gray shouted again which finally caught the re-quip mage's attention; she turned and looked at him. A small smile formed on her face when she saw him which only made Gray feel more nervous.

"Hey" he said quickly not looking at her. She looked at him with a curious expression before turning to walk back again. The aftermath of the mission was catching up on her and right now the walk back to the dorms seemed a lot longer. Gray ran over to her so they walked side by side. Luckily for Gray it was dark outside so the redhead wouldn't be able to see his facial expression as he walked next to her. His mind racing what do I do? Just kiss her? No this is Erza I'm talking about she'll kill me! Plus that's just rude. Erza is a nakama I can't just treat her like some random fling! I like her…wait what am I thinking?! No I meant I like her as a friend! Ugh why is this so hard!

"So how was the mission?" Gray asked trying to find a good way to distract his mind, plus he hadn't talked to the Titania for over a week, he had missed her

"It was ok; there were a few complications which made me late. But I managed" she said calmly as if it was just a simple mission she didn't was Gray knowing how it really went…

"It's always so easy for you" Gray said with a smile "I can't wait till I'm s-class so that I can go on s-class missions!"

"Yes then maybe we can go on a few together" Erza suddenly realised what she said oh no did I just say that out loud?! That didn't sound right! There was a moment of silence before Gray spoke up

"Yea we should" Gray replied with a smirk feeling happy with himself she wants to go on missions with me! Guess she must enjoy my company. They carried on walking in a comfortable silence. Gray looked over at his companion and noticed something strange. It looks like she's walking strangely upon closer look he realised that she was limping "Erza you're limping!" Gray shouted involuntary the re-quip mage groaned no, I hoped he wouldn't have noticed.

"don't worry I'm fine" Erza said through gritted teeth, even though he left leg felt like it was getting worse she was not going to make herself look weak in front of Gray. But just as the words had left her mouth her left leg gave way and she stumbled. She braced herself for impact but instead was jolted upwards. "I've got you" Gray said softly as he wrapped his arm around her waist to support her

"Gray I'm-"

"Don't even say it now hold onto me!" Gray said in a commanding tone I hate it when she gets stubborn like that! Well this time she is going to accept my help. Too tired and sore to argue back Erza put her arm around his shoulder, thankful that for once he was fully dressed. Even though she still reddened at the closeness it's nothing she thought it's just because you're not used to this she told herself to calm mind down. It took longer for them to reach fairy hills as Gray slowed his pace to make sure that Erza didn't push herself to walk quickly. Gray kept looking forward the whole time and when they finally reached the dorms Gray opened the door and helped her to her dorm rooms. He waited for her to open the door. "Thank you Gray, you can-"but instead of letting Erza finish Gray helped her into the room. "Gray! What are you doing! You shouldn't be in the girl's dorm anyway!" Erza protested. But she could see a smirk form on Gray's face even though he wasn't looking at her

"Relax, I'm here to make sure you're ok nothing else" he laughed "besides no one will know I'm here" he turned around and saw her now that they were both in the light and the smirk was wiped from his face. Erza was not in a good condition what so ever. How could I have not noticed that she was hurt?! She must have been butting on an act in the guild to make everyone thinks he was fine!

Erza now stood supporting herself by leaning on the nearest work surface. Her normal armour was dented and he could see the bruise that was forming on her right forearm. There were small cuts and scratches over her body and her left leg was raised most likely swollen. Immediately Gray ran forward and helped to support her again "oh my god Erza, let's get you seated on your bed and I'll get the first aid kit!" he speedily took her to her bed so she could sit before running around trying to find the first aid kit. Damn it stupid five rooms full of armour where it is! Finally he found the green box in one of the armour rooms.

Gray ran back to where Erza was to see that she had fell back onto he bed and ex-quipped out of her armour and into her normal white blouse and blue skirt. He sat down slowly on the edge of the bed causing Erza to quickly sit upright "Gray I'm fine honestly, don't make a fuss over me" Erza said firmly but Gray glared back

"You've got to be kidding me right?! Erza your hurt now let me help you" he said back and then opened the box to pull out the bandages, he then kneeled in front of Erza to look at her ankle "yup defiantly twisted" he said as he gently began to wrap the bandage around her ankle knowing that he needed to apply pressure. He heard Erza hiss in pain and he looked up "sorry" he said

"No its fine it doesn't hurt" she lied and looked away. Somehow that made feel more at ease knowing that she was still being tough "when Wendy gets back from her mission I'll get her to heal you but right not this is the best I can do" he looked up and smiled he then held the tea towel he also grabbed in his hands and folded it and then freezing it, using it as a makeshift icepack. He slowly put it on Erza's ankle. Erza sighed in relief when the cold towel was placed on her ankle "I take it that it feels a bit better?" he said as he then pulled the small coffee table over to put under her foot to keep it elevated.

He sat next to Erza as he saw her use a medic wipe to clean the little cuts. "So how are you feeling?" Gray asked oh god what a stupid question! Gray mentally face palmed but Erza looked at him with a small smile

"Well I'm a lot better now that you helped me thanks Gray" She said warmly and Gray could feel his cheeks heat up. Erza laughed but then abruptly stopped and clutched her side. Gray froze when she removed her hand and saw that the blouse was stained red. "Ow" Erza said as she looked down.

Gray's mind raced as he leaned over and lifted the bottom of her shirt to look at what was causing her pain. "Gray!" Erza said in an alarmed tone as her face reddened at Gray's actions. But Gray never noticed as he was more concerned with the cut that ran along the side of her stomach. Luckily it wasn't large but big enough to bleed. Gray pulled his shirt off and pressed it on her stomach to apply pressure and stop the bleeding.

Erza closed her eyes, it hurt now that Gray was pressing down on the cut but his hand was cold which numbed the pain he is so thoughtful and kind Erza thought and then she realised something. Gray was always there for whenever she needed him. At the riverbank when they kids he showed her the love a guild and even in fights he has her back. I seem to take him for granted…

"Ok the bleeding has stopped" Gray stated as he removed his shirt from her side. She opened her eyes and realised that he was still leaning over her. She averted her eyes from him when he looked at her but as soon as he went to bandage her side up her eyes were drawn back to his muscular frame. Just my luck that he is shirtless this close to me she thought but then again he did take his shirt off to stop the cut from bleeding…wow I never realised he changed that much as a kid. I've noticed it before…wait what am I doing?! Thinking about Gray like that!

"All done" Gray said as he looked up at her and saw her staring at him. "Are you ok? You look red, have you got a fever too" Gray leaned even closer if that was possible as he placed his hand on her cheek which strangely felt warm and comforting. For some reason she leaned into his hand.

Gray froze as he realised what he had done why did I do that? He thought wait what is she doing? Is she resting on me Gray sat next to her and leaned her against his shoulder where she lay quietly. Cautiously Gray put his arm behind her to make sure she wouldn't fall back seeing how tired she was. It was only now after he had finished bandaging her up did he look at her. She looks so content now, damn I didn't realise he was this…beautiful Gray realised what he thought but this time did nothing well it is true everyone knows how beautiful she is, and she's strong, brave, fierce but then she's kind and caring. Not to mention loving. Gray moved his hand to tuck the stand hairs that fell on the redheads face but as soon as he moved the stray hairs her brown eyes shot open. Oh crap, we are way to close his mind was telling him to lean back but instead he moved closer, she realised what he was doing and looked at him with a slightly red face

"Gray?" she asked quietly

"You're so beautiful" he said not caring I he admitted it. Her face went bright red at his comment and she tried to look away what is he doing, and why am I blushing? I'm the Titania damn it! She boldly looked back at Gray expecting to see him smirking but instead when she looked in his eyes she couldn't turn away. The tough act melted away and she felt his gaze bore deep into her soul

"from the moment you walked into the guild Cana told me it would be my lucky day, I didn't think it was true because we fought so much and I had bad luck but over the years I've realised how right she was. I am so lucky to have met you Erza. And I know you probably won't feel the same way but it's time to as Elfman would say be a man and tell you how I feel" Erza held her breath as she waited for what he was going to say her mind was flooding with ideas does he, does he l-

"Erza Scarlet I think I'm in love with you" Gray said boldly and Erza's eyes widened as her mind comprehended what was just said but then he leaned in and captured her lips. She stayed still with a face the same colour as her hair 'I think I'm in love with you' the words echoed in her mind he does love me…

Then she did what Gray never expected to happen. She closed her eyes and allowed him to continue kissing her as she slowly began to kiss back, uncertain at first but then gaining more confidence as they continued. His arms wrapped around her, careful not to touch the cut on her stomach and then systematically one of her hands made it to the back of his head as her fingers became entangled with his messy raven hair, while the other rested on his back. Is this really happening Gray thought as he looked at the redhead kiss him and could feel her rapid heartbeat against his bare chest.

Not wanting to push Erza too far he slowly pulled back and saw the moment where she opened her eyes and look timidly back at him "I think I love you too Gray" she whispered as she tried to catch her breath but never had a chance too as Gray leaned forward again and gave her another kiss feeling like he was about to explode with happiness she feels the same way! His mind cheered

The second kiss lasted much longer as it was filled with the love both mages felt for each other. Gray felt as if time itself had slowed down as he continued to kiss the redheads soft lips. At this moment in time nothing else mattered to him except having her in his arms knowing that she truly loved him. Her frame seemed to fit perfect against his muscular chest. Her nails began to dig into his back as he kissed her harder and she fought back with just as much eagerness. Gray could feel himself loose whatever self-control he had as he wanted her so badly and now it seemed he had her. She pressed herself closer to him but then winced and Gray realised he was being selfish how can I do this while she is in pain he felt guilty as he pulled back from the kiss.

"You need to rest" he stated as he looked back at her, she groaned but knew she had to. Gray helped he move back on the bed because of her ankle once she was in a comfortable position and had the blankets over her Gray smiled and kissed her forehead before standing up.

"No Gray" he turned and saw big brown eyes stair up at him "don't go" she said quietly and looked embarrassed.

"But I have to" Gray said and then smirked "besides I'm not allowed to be in the girls dorm am I"

"No one has to know" she replied sharply with a sly smile. Gray laughed as he lay back down and wriggled under the bed and the redhead moved closer to him as he laughed again and wrapped his arm around her "now rest" he said

"Don't boss the Titania around" she mumbled as she closed her eyes and lay on his chest. He smirked

"Goodnight Titania"

*the next day*

Miraculously Gray had managed to sneak out of the girls dorm undetected in the morning after telling Erza to meet him in the guild. It was now midday and the two mages sat next to each other with a large smile on both their faces. "Looks like the plan went well" Mira said as her and Cana looked on at the secret couple from across the hall

"Yes well I saw Gray sneak out of the dorms at the crack of dawn" she smirked as Mira's mouth dropped

"He spent the night with her! Oh my god they must have-well their relationship is progressing quicker than I thought-" Cana laughed loudly as she saw the barmaid's bright red face. This is brilliant she thought.

And just then the guild hall opened and in walked Natsu, happy and Lucy. Well Natsu was trailing behind with a look of self-pity. On the other hand Lucy looked like an angry Erza. "Ahh don't be feeling sorry for yourself" she shouted

"But Lucy it was only just a kiss what's the problem?" he whined

"You idiot! You don't just say kiss me and lean forward! Of course I'm going to punch you!" Lucy cried and Natsu then flinched and backed away

"You didn't have to give me a black eye though!" he cried as Gray laughed at his rival and he held Erza's hand under the table so no one could see. Looks like this is my lucky day!

The end! Seriously guys that's all I had planned haha so thanks for reading and please review and tell me what you think! Adios amigos!
