Chapter Two
Disclaimer: Fairy tail does not belong to me
Please R&R, thanks much!
Gray can feel his anger begin to flare up. Then, a small heat spread across his chest. His sword pendant begins to whir and spin. "W-what the heck?" he exclaims.
Then, as if by divine intervention, so does Rin's. The pendants on their chest's begins to burn and Rin jolts awake with a start. "What's this?"
They both cup the pendants in their hands as they begin to grow into... A sword and a shield? The shield, as if by magnetism, flies towards Gray as Lyon ducks out of the way. The chains melts into a silvery liquid and swirl around him, then link and become like chain mail armor.
A small engraving on the shield/used to be locket reads "Now kill that bastard!" -Your loving father, in a messy scrawl.
Except Gray doesn't. "What the heck? What is this? What just happened?"
As Lyon tries to help Rin up, Gray's body is pulled by an invisible force and his sword is pointed at Lyon. His armour forces him to move and he advances on Lyon. "Gray, stop it!" Rin yells.
All at once, as if the last minute had never happened, the necklace shrink back down to a normal size and burn small shapes into the floor, words actually, reading "Choose wisely, my daughter." In a flowy, cursive hand writing.
"I really can explain," Lyon tells Gray, interruping the silence.
-E.A.R.L.I.E.R_T.H.A.T._D.A.Y.-
"I don't really care, and I don't particularily want your ice flower," Rin stubbornly informs Lyon, shoving it into his face.
"Awwww. C'mon Rin. You don't have to accept it as if I'm your boyfriend or something, how about we make this into... A challenge?"
Rin looks at him suspiciously. "A challenge?"
"Yup," Lyon says, a sly smile creeping across his face. "The day this heart melts, will be the day that you marry me."
Rin laughs and snatches the heart back from Lyon. "Challenge accepted. But," she pauses dramatically. "If this heart doesn't melt with 2 years, then you have to give up. Okay? Or else I'll drop it right here and now into the river," she says, holding her right hand out.
"It's a deal," he says shaking it and then he forcefully kisses her.
"T-that's not fair!" she says blushing and stumbling backwards as a chunk of ice crumbles off of the heart.
"Well, I might not even need 2 years," Lyon says arrogantly as Rin takes another step backwards. He looks over at her. "Watch out!" he exclaims.
Rin feels the ground falling out from beneath her as she stumbles off the side of the bridge. Lyon uses the force of his own weight to fling her back ontothe bridge and twists his ankle as he clings to nothing. Splash!
"I just felt indebted to him for protecting me and walked him home. Then I simply obliged to watching a movie with him and fell asleep," Rin sniffs.
"So does that men that you guys are going out?" Gray asks.
Lyon snakes his arm around Rin. "I suppose it does," he says slyly.
"Not at all," Rin says trying to muster her dignity.
Gray chuckles.
