CHAPTER 28: Avoid you?
Why oh why didn't he respond to what Loke said? He could easily say "What the hell are you talking about?" or "Are you fucking kidding me?" or he could always send his 'are-you-seriously-asking-me-that?' look of his, but none of those gestures seemed to come to mind that time. It felt like he doesn't want to say anything to him, like he's accepting the challenge?
May the best man win?
Gray shook his head. What in the world is happening to me? he thought as he kept on pacing around the cabin he and his group mates are sharing. It was night time, marking the end of everyone's 'day two' in camp. Yes. It has been a day and a half since Loke challenges him but he's still bothered and couldn't sleep because of it.
"Gray, will you stop that? I'm trying to sleep here!" a guy, with black hair which was covering the right side of his face, said in a matter-of-factly tone as he stirred in bed, irritated by the fact that his teammate was still wide awake and is grumbling incoherent words as he paced around the room. But Gray was too preoccupied that he didn't hear anything from him and just continued striding around. The irritated man just rolled his eyes and covered his head with his pillow, in an attempt to keep the noise from entering his ears. Thankfully, it's effective — but only for a few seconds when Gray shoved his pillow off his face.
"Hey, Alzack." Gray started. The man, known as Alzack, grunted and twitched in mere annoyance and sat up his bed, facing a troubled Gray. "What?" was his calm — but truthfully annoyed — reply.
"I was just thinking…do you know the feeling when someone…erm…close to you brought up a challenge you didn't really want to get involved with but…uhm…you didn't tried to refuse it either?" he asked.
"Huh?" came Alzack's unintelligible reply, obviously confused as well.
"You see I'm having — I mean MY FRIEND, YES! 'My friend' was having that problem and sought for my help but I don't know what to tell him. He told me that…it was because of a certain girl that his close friend was courting and—"
"Wait, wait!" Alzack interrupted Gray's words before continuing. "I don't understand anything at all. Could you name them? You're confusing me, dude." He said as he scratched his head. Gray blushed and cleared his throat.
"W-well, let's give them names then. Mr. G is my friend, Mr. L is his close friend and Ms. L is the girl that Mr. L is courting." After saying this, Alzack's right eyebrow rose in understanding.
"Okay, continue." He said making Gray tell him everything. "Mr. L told me — I MEAN Mr. G that he's well aware of Mr. G's feeling for Ms. L which confuses Mr. G because he knows for a fact that he's not even romantically inclined, same goes for Ms. L but…why didn't Mr. G refuses the challenge that Mr. L had given him and just stood there, dumbfounded. Now he wanted to know what he truly feels for Ms. L, since it all started because of her. What should I tell him?" Gray ended, his eyes glinted in expectation as he waited for an answer to his question.
Alzack sighed and kept himself from throwing a fit of laughter. He never thought that Gray Fullbuster would act like, well, THIS! It's just so funny to see tgis side of Gray. He faced his friend and smirked. "Is this about you, Loke and Lucy?" he asked and crossed his arms over his chest. As quickly as it could get, Gray's face was tainted red as he averted his friend's speculative gaze. "Wh-what are you talking about. I told you, it's my—"
Alzack once again cut him off as he placed a hand over Gray's shoulder, making the latter peer at his friend's serious-looking eyes. "Listen Gray, just do what you must — or at least, do what you think is right." Was all he said before taking his pillow back and went back to sleep, rendering Gray speechless. Alzack felt Gray stood up from his bed and went to his own, muttering something like 'stupid Alzack.' He just smiled and mumbled, ganbatte, Gray.
..ooOoo..
Morning came and Gray's still pissed due to what Alzack said last night. He just made it more confusing for me! he thought, stomping his way towards his team who just lost yet again another activity. Seriously! What's happening to me?
Lucy kept on staring at Gray all day. She doesn't know why he's acting weird. He's always frowning and stomping and annoyed for some unknown reason. She started thinking of causes as to why Gray's behaving like that, not just today but as well as yesterday.
Did I piss him off again? Wait! Is it even because of me?
Lucy shook her head, thinking that this might be a good chance to stop herself from loving him once and for all. Nodding determinedly at her thought, she faced the other way and decided to just enjoy the rest of the day with her friends.
"Lucy!" Levy called from her team's table. Lucy then smiled and walked her way towards her friend. She sat just beside Levy as she started a conversation with her.
"Hey Levy, how's your team going?"
"Fine. But, that's not what I wanted to talk about." Levy said. She scanned the area to see if anyone's been listening. As if the coast is clear, Levy brought her lips near Lucy's right ear and whispered. "How are things going with Loke?" Levy teased.
"Hmmm, pretty much okay, I guess." Was her reply to Levy's question.
Yes, that's what Lucy told Levy last Monday. Lucy told her best friend about Loke's confession and that she was about to turn him down when he stopped her and told her that he's willing to wait. That causes Levy to coo at her and where the teasing starts. But she doesn't mind. She thought that being teased like this would help her forget about Gray and maybe fall for Loke instead?
.
.
.
.
.
Lucy sighed. She doesn't want that either. She'll never use her friends for her own sake.
What, she'll use Loke as a rebound guy? Nu-uh! She's not that kind of person! So even if she wanted to forget her feelings for Gray, never in her whole existence will she use her friends, knowing for a fact that it will hurt Loke's feelings as well if he finds out.
"Then what about with Gray?"
Now this made Lucy snap out of her stupor. She craned her head to the right and saw Levy's serious face.
Lucy immediately averted her gaze and suddenly found the ground as the most interesting thing to look at. "I don't know. He's been avoiding me since yesterday. I haven't got the guts to talk to him." She answered, biting her lips.
Levy patted Lucy's shoulder and gave her a warm smile. "Don't worry. Everything's going to be alright. Trust me!" she assured, making Lucy smile in return but, she can't shake the feeling of loneliness lurking inside her mind.
…
After her talk with Lucy, she immediately went to Mirajane to inform her about her friend's situation.
"So Gray's been avoiding Lucy? Hmm," Mira said, bringing her right hand on her chin in a thinking position. Levy nodded her head. She didn't want to tell Lucy's story to anyone but she guessed this is the right thing to do.
She noticed how Lucy watched Gray all day since yesterday and saw the sadness in her eyes. She wanted to make her best friend happy. And making Gray realize his feeling for her – if he does love her, that is – by using Natsu's closeness to Lucy to make him jealous is the only thing she could think of, to end her friend's miseries.
Levy dismissed her thought when she heard Mira's giggle. She looked up and had come face-to-face with a demon trapped within an angel's body.
"I have an idea."
Oh boy. Levy thought as shivers run up and down her spine, thinking if her decisions were right, wrong, or worst, VERY WRONG.
..ooOoo..
"Okay, so tomorrow, I will tell which team won and will receive the prize. So for now, enjoy the night." Gildarts said casually and walked off stretching, again making the students sweat drop.
"Darn it! Erza's team won!" Natsu said as he continually hit his head on a tree trunk.
"You wouldn't know for sure, idiot." Gray commented, sitting just across Natsu.
"But it's clear that they're the winner! They won almost all the activities!" Natsu cried. "Now I won't be able to enjoy the prize." He continued making his friend sigh in annoyance.
"You're Lucy's teammate. She could treat all of you to their resort with no worries." Gray said, massaging his temples. Loke and Alzacks words were still bugging the shit out of him.
Natsu's eyes shone in excitement after hearing Gray's statement. He was about to answer back but the moment he looked at Gray, Natsu saw his friend's troubled face. Natsu then remembered what Lucy asked him last Monday.
"Is there something bothering Gray and Loke?"
"Ne, Gray," he called. Gray looked up and was hoping not to see the irritating face of his friend, but he guessed God won't grant that wish of his as he saw Natsu, now leaning back on the tree.
"What?"
"I was just wondering…if there's something wrong with you and Loke?"
Gray stiffened and looked away. He didn't think that Natsu, of all people, will notice it but it may be because they've been friends for a long time that he knows if something's wrong or not?
Receiving no reply from his friend, Natsu supposed he had hit the spot. He sighed, looking at his friend with sternness in his eyes.
"Lucy's been worried for the both of you ever since Monday afternoon — to think she'll notice it before I do is very surprising, don't you think?"
Gray looked up, shock evident on his face. "Lucy?"
Natsu stood up and walked towards Gray, he wanted to punch him once again for the same reason of not remembering someone like Lucy but decided this is not the best time and instead patted him on the shoulder.
"This isn't the time to act dense, Gray. Why not do what your mind tells you?" was Natsu's words before he walked off and joined the others who are having fun around the bon fire.
Why must all of them needs to confuse me like this? Do…what my mind tells me? What the heck does that mean?
"Alright! Since the teachers let us do what we want this night, the council decided to have another activity." Erza said loud enough for the teachers to hear. She saw them nodded, giving her permission to continue.
"This is just for fun, okay?" she said and grinned evilly, scaring her fellow students, while Mira smiled innocently at her side who obviously had something to do with the very suspicious activity.
"What's the activity Erza?" Natsu enthusiastically asked, eyes glinting in excitement.
.
.
.
.
.
"A Courage Test."
.
.
.
.
.
Everyone shivered.
.
.
.
.
.
"AWESOME!"
.
.
.
.
.
Well, except for Natsu.
.
.
.
.
.
"Now that's what you call a manly activity." And Elfman.
.
.
.
.
.
"Heh, I'll be the first one to finish this." And Lyon.
Okay, some others too, but the point is most of the students got goose bumps.
"Mira and I talked about this earlier so we asked the teachers to check if the forest is safe and set it up for this activity. All you have to do is choose a partner from your respective team, go to the forest, and find your way towards the goal. But it'll be boring if that's all we're gonna do, right? So we put a little trill. If you noticed, there are trees inside the forest with their numbers on it — 1to 20. We are to give each pair three papers…" Mira showed everyone three pieces of sticky note pad with different colors as Erza continued. "…which has numbers similar to that of the trees you are to stick those papers on. You also need to write both of your names on it so that we could discern whom those papers belonged to. Those papers will then serve as a proof that you finished the test. So if ever one of you got only two papers when we count them, you'd be considered a coward for not finishing the activity properly."
"This is getting exciting! Come on Lucy, you'll be my partner! LET'S GO!" Natsu exclaimed.
"Not yet, Natsu." Erza said, stopping Natsu from running off after getting the papers from Mira.
"This test will not commence without this." Erza crossed her arms across her chest and looked at everyone with full seriousness. "This forest isn't like any ordinary forest. Mr. Yajima told me and Mira some unnerving story about it. They said that during a full moon, paranormal activities were detected within this forest for decades now." Lucy clutched onto Natsu's arm while Erza continued.
"That's why we decided that it would be better if it's going to be by pair. There are 10 starting points, 1 for each team and each pair will go inside after every 5 minutes." At this point, all of the girls except for Mira and Erza were shivering under the horror of the place.
"B-but, today isn't a full moon…right?" Ultear asked and held onto Seigrain's arm, making the latter blush.
Erza smirked, making the black haired girl gulped in total fright. "Look up." She suggested. Everyone did as told and their eyes widen in terror.
There in the sky, stands the moon in its full glory, emerging from the clouds and shone, giving its light to the obscurity of the forest.
"So, let's start then?"
..ooOoo..
"NATSU! I'LL KILL YOU AFTER I FIND YOU!" Lucy yelled at the top of her lungs, she was having mixed emotions. Anger, panic, fear and anxiety were evident on her features.
They were one of the first pairs to enter the forest. Oh, how she wished she never agreed to do this activity in the first place and just settle herself inside her cabin, sleeping peacefully even if she'll forever be called a coward. But no, Natsu had already dragged her inside the creepy-looking forest — or at least that's what she wanted to call it ever since she heard the story from Erza — and was now walking alone.
Why you asked?
It's because of that stupid pink-haired moron for leaving me out here that I'm stuck here all alone! I swear I'll get him for this!
Yea, just like Lucy thought. Natsu was so eager to finish before others do and because of that eagerness of his, he forgot that he was with Lucy. He ran off looking for the trees, leaving Lucy catching up behind him. But unfortunately for her, she doesn't have a boy's stamina so she was exhausted quickly — of course minding what Erza told them a while ago made her cautious about everything around her, thus slowing her down. She tried calling for him, asking him to slow down or wait for her but he did not hear any of it which was why Lucy was all alone.
She began pointing the flashlight vigilantly up ahead, in hopes of finding her partner. She took careful steps as sweat started accumulating on her forehead and hands as it quiver slightly. Her eyes became blurry as tears gathered at the corners of her eyes.
"Natsu…where are you?" she muttered.
Lucy stopped her tracks when she caught on someone she knows from up ahead. She saw something pink which made her sigh in relief.
She walked towards him and smiled, relieved that she found him.
"Natsu…I've been looking for you. Where have you—"
Lucy cut her words as she noticed something unusual around Natsu. His back was still facing her so she wasn't sure on what's happening to him. He doesn't even seem aware of her presence. His appearance is still the same but his aura seemed a bit off, a bit…frightening.
Lucy's heart started pounding at a fast pace. She doesn't know why, but Natsu's acting weird. Not the same energetic Natsu that dragged her along inside this forest.
Her right arm shakily reached for her partners shoulder as her left hand clutched the flashlight tightly. But before she even touches the boy, he slowly faced her.
She was glad that he finally noticed her but before she could smile up at him, her eyes widen in terror as she saw the sight before of her.
Every hair on her body rose, her heart beats so fast and the tears she tried not to show cascaded down her cheeks.
The flashlight she once held dropped on her feet as she began retracing her steps slowly as to not trigger anymore movements from the man in front of her.
The figure, who she thought was her partner Natsu, started taking gradual steps towards her making her step back. He didn't stop and soon the light that the flash was giving illuminated his face, making Lucy see the face of a man she never once encountered in her whole life: a pale man with face covered with blood and bruises glaring at her, piercing through her very soul, making her legs limp. She felt nauseated just by looking at his face.
Lucy's didn't divert her eyes from the man, afraid of the thought that if she looked anywhere but him, her life will definitely be in trouble.
What will I do now? I'm scared. She thought, her breath hitching and her tears won't stop from falling.
The second the man took another step, his lips turned into an evil grin. But the thing that made her run and scream in terror was when he mentioned something she didn't expect.
"Lucy…"
..ooOoo..
At some part of the woods, Gray was walking aimlessly with his partner, Lisanna. Hands deep within his pockets, eyes glaring at the path they're walking on, boredom and annoyance was evident on his face.
"What's the point on doing this activity anyway?" he asked to no one in particular while Lisanna kept silent the whole time, doing something on her phone. Gray was about to ask what she's doing when both of them heard a piercing cry.
"AAAAAHHHHHH!"
Gray's eyes widen, he recognized that voice. "Lucy…"
Out of impulse, he ran fast toward the direction of where the voice came from.
"Wait! Where are you going, Gray?" was the last thing he heard from Lisanna before he disappeared to the woods.
..ooOoo..
Lucy ran as fast as she could, not minding the scratches she get from the branches that hindered her way.
She doesn't care where she's going as long as she got away from the man she saw earlier. Who is that? Is he the one that Erza was talking about? The one concerning the paranormal activities going on around this forest?
Because of the obscurity of the place, she didn't saw a root sticking out of the ground that cause her to trip and lose her balance, gaining a nasty gash on her knee. She cried even more. Why does my clumsiness strike at times like this? She thought and curses herself under her breath.
Lucy then decided to just crawl and hide herself under some tree and hugged her knees to her chest, praying that someone will find her.
Gray…help me…
She kept on crying, hoping that soon, she will get out of this forest. "Gray…"
She heard the rustling of the bush in front of her and her eyes once again widen when she saw a figure come out of it. Sensing that figure was walking towards her, Lucy tried to stand up and run but it seemed like her legs gave up on her. She shut her eyes close and prayed for someone to help her.
"Lucy…" she heard before someone touches both her shoulders, surprising her which caused her to scream.
"NO! Get off me! Please! Don't hurt me!" she cried, yanking the hands away from her but the man was strong and grabbed her, hugging her close.
"LUCY! It's okay. It's me."
Upon hearing that voice, Lucy stopped struggling and looked up, seeing the man was the one she wished to see the most.
"Gray?" she asked, as if making sure. Gray chuckled at her. "What kind of question is tha—"
"GRAY!" Lucy wailed, cutting Gray off. She encircled her arms around his torso and cried on his shoulder. Gray was at first shock at this but later on grasped how scared Lucy was as he felt her quiver in his arms.
"I'm so scared! Gray…"
"What happened? And where's Natsu?" he asked calmly, running circle on her back and patted her head soothingly. She shook her head as her answer and continued crying. Thinking that meddling won't do any better he just comforted her as he tightened his grip protectively around her.
"Shh. Everything's fine now. I'm here." He said. Lucy just closed her eyes and feel the warmth that Gray was radiating, feeling secured when around him.
When he felt that she had calmed down a little, he offered her to go back to camp.
"But what about the activity? They'll mark you as coward." She said worriedly.
Gray blinked once, then twice, then trice before bursting out laughing, surprising the blonde, making her blush. Did I say something funny?
The man brushed a tear on his eyes before facing Lucy again as his laughter died down. "You know, you never fail to make me laugh." He said, causing Lucy to raise an eyebrow.
Gray lightly flicked Lucy's forehead as he answered the unspoken question. "You're always minding what's best for others but, why not minding your own self for once?"
He patted her head and continued. "Let me take care of you, even just for today." He said making her eyes widen and her blush to intensify.
"Come on. Let's go back." He said but Lucy remained silent.
"What's wrong?" he asked, snapping Lucy out of her daze but before she could answer, Gray saw the wound on her knee making him sigh. He turned around confusing Lucy.
"Come on. I'll carry you."
"Huh? B-But,"
Lucy gasped when Gray took her arms and put it around his neck. He then scooped her legs and carried her on his back. "You're so clumsy, you know that?" he commented as he started walking their way out of the woods, making Lucy pout. And then, an comfortable silence enveloped them.
Realizing something as he took a side-long glance at Lucy's blushing face, Gray mentally sighed in disappointment with one's self.
How could I avoid you when you're one vulnerable girl that always seemed to ask for my help?
He smiled. I guess, I just couldn't refrain myself from ignoring you, can I?
Lucy saw Gray's smile and sighed for herself. She too realized something.
How can I move on when you're always there whenever I need you? She thought and tightened her grip on Gray. She buried her face on his shoulders before an unknowing smile made its way to her face.
Just for today. Let me enjoy being with you just for today.
..ooOoo..
Tadah! Heheh, I hope you enjoyed this! Thanks so much for reading.
