Chapter 33: I'm glad I met you


She woke up to Gray flicking a finger at her forehead, again. Lucy hissed and jerked her head up to see five faces looking at her― one female, and four males, including Gray.

She blinked her eyes wearily, adjusting it to the light illuminated by a flashlight.

"Wha?"

The female, which the blonde soon recognized as Erza, sighed and smiled at her. "I'm glad you're awake," she said before snapping her head towards the black-haired teen, "you didn't have to do that to wake her up, though."

"Well, that's just how Gray is, you know," said the bluenette beside Erza, who happened to be Jellal.

Two older men were crouching from the opening, seemingly relieved by the look on their faces― umbrellas in hand (which doesn't really help much) to keep themselves from the rain. Behind them, she saw that it was still dark. It's either they found them that night or it's already early Friday morning.

As Erza noticed Lucy's gaze was particularly directed towards the two men, she explained that the four of them (Erza, Jellal, Principal Makarov and Grandpa Yajima) are out looking for her and was thankful that they found her with Gray. She also told the blonde that Gray pretty much sums up what happened to her and how they ended up taking cover instead of just going back.

"How did you find her, exactly?" Erza asked the raven haired lad after her explanation to Lucy.

Gray shrugged his shoulder and removed the sleeve of his jacket from his right arm before looking at his blonde companion, who was rubbing sleep off her eyes.

"Is your brain still mushed up, huh poo brain?" he asked, irking Lucy.

"Poo brain yourself, paste face!" she countered and immediately shut her mouth using her hands, remembering the presence of four other people. Gray coughed, obviously fake, preventing himself from throwing a fit making Lucy blushed. Erza and Jellal stared at them with eyes widen in surprise. "L-Lucy?"

"You with us now?" asked Gray, smirking and received a nod of agreement from the blonde who now sports a lovely shade of red adorning her porcelain-like cheeks.

"Well, now that she's awake, let's head back." Said Makarov, holding his own laugh. This only made Lucy more embarrassed.

Lucy, Gray, Jellal and Erza then crawled out of the refuge Mother Nature had created with rocks and were handed umbrellas for their own protection from the subsiding rain.

"So, how did you find us?" Lucy asked, opening her brolly and lifted it above her head.

Yajima and Makarov looked at each other and broke into smiles. The former started walking, followed by the others, before answering her question.

"Well, it was very nostalgic…how we found you I mean," he started, "That was the exact same place where I found Gray when he went missing a long time ago― the time when his family used to go here for summer vacation."

Everyone looked at Gray, saved from Makarov who, unbeknownst to others, have heard this same story from the same man. Gray however kept walking as if hearing nothing, keeping himself from looking at anyone's eyes.

"He fell on that same slope as Lucy-chan here."

Lucy kept staring at Gray wondering how the heck did he fell, if it wasn't out of clumsiness as he said earlier.

"He was chasing a bunny."

.

.

.

"AHAHAHAHA~!" laughter filled the early morning's breeze.

Gray immediately faced the old man and went red in the face as embarrassment kicked in. "Jii-chan…" he groaned as he placed his forehead on one of his hands.

"Geez, Gray. You told me you didn't fell out of clumsiness?" Lucy laughed.

"I did not, Ms. Smarty pants," he argued, humiliation subtly lessens, "I jumped down chasing it."

"You don't need to be shy, you know. Just admit that you're clumsy, too."

"Oh, so you're admitting that you're clumsy?"

"Wha~? I never said I was clumsy!"

"Yes, you did."

"Did not!"

"Did too."

"DID NOT!"

"Did too."

The two of them kept it going that Erza and Jellal looked at the two of them in confusion. Lucy was visibly getting redder in annoyance as Gray simply argued with her in the most composed way. "They seem…closer, don't you think?" Jellal asked, eyes never leaving the arguing "couple".

Erza merely nodded in response.

"Fine! I'm clumsy, now admit it too!"

"What is there to admit?" he smirked.

"Wha~? You're not playing fair!"

Gray kept his façade: the 'I-like-messing-with-anyone-so-bear-with-it' look. But deep inside, his heart was so happy having to speak with her so casually and being this close to her. Never would he think such relief is possible just by admitting to himself how he feel for the girl walking beside him. A load full of confusion and apprehension was lifted from his shoulders with just the words "I love you" from his mouth. And he wouldn't want this feeling any other way.

He was glad. Glad to know what he's feeling. And now that he knows, he'll do everything in his power to be as close to her as possible.

Erza sighed and looked at Jellal just in time for the other to do the same. The puzzling thing of how the two of them, Gray and Lucy, got close lingered. But Erza and Jellal merely shook their heads and chuckled, shrugging the thought off and thinking that this kind of atmosphere was more likely than the two of them being all hateful towards the other.

"They didn't even let Mr. Yajima finish the story." The redhead said, purposely saying it louder to let the said person hear it, but not loud enough for Lucy and Gray, who continued arguing in the back― well, more like Gray teasing the blonde.

"There's nothing more to tell anyway. Except maybe for seeing Gray hugging the bunny on his chest while they waited for the rain to pass." The old man chuckled. He smiled recalling the memory, looking through his shoulders at the laughing Gray. "Just like what we saw today. Only now, Lucy-chan was the bunny."

.

.

.

.

.

Arriving at the site, Levy and Ultear practically tackled Lucy to the ground, crying. And Lucy could never feel so terrible than this.

Everyone around them sends her either a look of concern or worriedness, asking if she was alright, of what happened, why she left without anyone with her, or why she didn't come back for help.

All the concern she got overwhelmed her so much that it made her eyes blurry with tears. Her lips trembled as she opened them in an attempt to answer all their questions but all she could voice out was "I'm sorry".

Then her tears fall. She covered her face with her hands and cried. This, she didn't want. And now she understands what Gray was telling her that night. She did become so selfish and didn't think of what the others would feel if she decided to do things on her own.

Lucy didn't know how long she cried, maybe seconds or maybe minutes, but Makarov's soothing words got through her cries and made her look up.

"It's okay, my child. You being here, alive and kicking, is enough." He grinned, patting her on the head (how, she didn't know, considering their height difference), "Fairy Tail is your family. We are your family and you are my child. So next time, whenever there're problems, you can always turn to us."

Lucy was about to say something when Natsu cut her with a "We won't bite, know," making everyone laugh.

"Thank you, guys." She said, wiping of her tear stained face and giving off her heart-warming grin.

Gray surreptitiously smiled.

..ooOoo..

Lucy was laughing at how giddy their teacher, Gildarts, is to his daughter, Cana, who happens to be her classmate. Even though they were not talking much lately, they were pretty much close friends.

They were all muddled up around a bon fire for their last night at camp, the council having their own circle along with some students who wanted to hang out with them. Some decided to chat on the sides, some goofing off on somewhere, boys laughed, girls giggled. Natsu was fooling around as always, Lyon was once again confessing his affection towards Juvia for the umpteenth time since the start of camp, the Strauss siblings are cuddled up on one big blanket (with Elfman's protective arms around his sisters), the Fernandez twin are bothering Erza who's been eating her cake happily, Alzack strumming his guitar with Bisca humming beside him, Ultear and Mira singing along, and Levy was chatting happily with Gajeel. Their teachers Aquarius and Scorpio also seated down with them.

Gray and Loke are nowhere to be seen. And it made Lucy wonder, but shrugged it off.

So much has happened and Lucy was beyond glad that this trip was a success. She was nervous that she'd ruined it, which she was mostly doing unintentionally due to her ditzy demeanour. But to sum up everything that happened, it was fun.

"Hey, Lucy!" Levy called making the said girl look at her direction, "You know, I'm really thankful that you're alright. I'm glad Gray found you and you weren't left alone out there."

Hearing this, Lucy realized something: she hasn't thanked him yet, for everything. The wavers, the 'Laxus-incident-at-his-classroom', the thunderstorm incident, him making her stay at his house, meeting his kind family, the reservation for this camp, the amusement park, him taking her home, the concert, saving her…being there all the time when she needs somebody. How could she forget?

She needs to say 'thank you' for everything he did. And for merely being there for her.

"Get your hands off me, you old man!" Cana whined for the third time that night as Gildarts tried to put his arms around his daughter, making Lucy snap out of her thoughts and look at the father-daughter tandem.

"Aww~ Cana-chan. I'm just so happy we could have some alone time as father and daughter~" he reasoned with sparkling equal signs for eyes and cat's '3-like' snout for a mouth as his cheeks reddened in cheerfulness.

"We are not alone." She pointed out, "Besides, I wouldn't want to be alone with you. That'll be plain creepy."

"Cana, stop that. Respect your father." Erza said, not faltering from eating her cake.

"Hmp. He didn't even act as a husband to my mother so why should I?"

Everyone in the circle quieted down. Natsu's hand suspended halfway from snatching a barbeque stick from someone. Erza stopped her mouth from chewing, Elman couldn't even say his famous lines (something about being a man), Lyon's heart-seemed eyes broke in half as he looked at Cana and Gildarts together with Juvia, Alzack's strumming halted, Mira, Ultear, Levy and Lisanna's mouth hang open and Gajeel whistled.

An awkward silence filled their circle while they listened to the happy laughs of their fellow students and teachers.

Everyone knows that Cana's mother died in some kind of sickness, but they didn't know how and when she detested her father like this.

Gildarts' gleaming happy face turned into a look of suppressed glee and sighed. "Well, I guess it's time I tell you a story, guys~" he said, faking to be happy obviously, "In a form of a song." He added, winking.

Gildarts looked at Alzack and borrowed his acoustic guitar from him. He situated the instrument on his lap and strummed a few chords before smiling at everyone. "This is a song for my beloved wife, Cornelia."

Cana looked up, shock written all over her face.

Gildarts pluck the guitar stings skilfully as he narrated some more before singing. "I actually wrote this after our conversation some years ago. Not really written, more like put some melody to our conversation. Hope you like this, Cana."

Cana visibly flinch, didn't really expecting her father to call her without "-chan".

(NP: Woman like you by Lee Brice, Standard disclaimer applied.)

Last night outta the blue, driftin' off to the evening news, she said, "Honey, what would you do if you'd never met me?"

I just laugh. Said, "I don't know. But I could take a couple guesses though."

And then tried to dig real deep, said,

"Darling, honestly, I'd do a lot more offshore fishin'. I'd probably eat more drive-thru chicken. Take a few strokes off my golf game, if I'd have never known your name. I'd still be driving that old green 'Nova, I probably never would have heard of yoga. Be a better football fan. But if I was a single man, alone and out there on the loose, well, I'd be looking for a woman like you."

Gildarts sang with a South Midland or Highland Southern accent, it's as if he was born with that dialect.

Everyone smiled as Cana eyed her father in disbelief while he continued singing with his eyes closed, seemingly in his own world.

I could tell that got her attention. So I said, "Oh yea, I forgot to mention, I wouldn't trade a single day for hundred years the other way."

She just smiled, rolled eyes 'cause she's heard all of my lines.

I said, "Come on girl, seriously. If I hadn't been so lucky I'd be shootin' pool in my bachelor pad. Playing bass in my cover band. Restocking up cold Bud Light. Play poker every Tuesday night, yea. I'd have a dirt bike in the shed. Not one throw pillow on the bed. I'd keep my cash in the coffee can. But if I was a single man, alone and out there on the loose, well, I'd be looking for a woman like you."

Cana's eyed turned glassy her chest tightened as she recalled how her mother used to smile whenever her father came home from work. She knows how Gildarts love her mother, and how his mother loved her father, she just wants to hear it from him. Cause never in her lifetime did she hear how important her mother is to his father. She couldn't ask for more proof than this and she finally smiled.

Gray chose this time to round up with the group and sat beside the unknowing blonde, who was so into the music with her eyes closed.

Gildarts continued and put all his soul to it.

She knows what a mess I'd be if I didn't have her here but to be sure,

Gildarts opened his eyes and looked at his only daughter smiling at him. His heart practically took a 180 degree turn and leaped out of his chest in pure happiness and continued.

"I whispered in her ear."He sang, voice almost cracking in the end.

"You know I get sick deep-sea fishin'. And you made the best fried chicken, I got a hopeless golf game, I love the sound of your name. I might miss that old green 'Nova. But I love watching you do yoga. I'd take a gold band on my hand, over bein' a single man. 'Cause honestly I don't know what I'd do if I'd never met a woman like you."

He plucked some more strings before handing the instrument back to its owner. Claps and cheers was what he got after his song. But the greatest reaction he found was from his daughter who had tears falling from her eyes and the hug he got from her.

"I miss mom." She said.

Gildarts jerked at the sudden affection but smiled later on and patted her on the head, "Me, too, Cana. Me, too."

Lucy stared at them in gladness, thinking of hugging her father when she get home tomorrow, and probably visit her mom's grave with him.

Feeling the heat emanating from the person beside her, she looked up only to be face-to-face with Gray. She remembered her 'conversation' with Levy and was about to do her task when Cana's voice boomed once again, making Lucy turn and look at the tandem.

"But you're still not allowed to grope me, you old man!"

"Aww~ but Cana-chan!"

And they're back. Lucy laughed along with everyone.

Gildarts turned to Alzack and told him to play a song but was politely declined and said he wasn't a good singer. The auburn haired teacher rubbed his stubble before looking at his co-teacher, Scorpio, and smiled wickedly. Natsu and Gray shivered, only them (and Loke) knew what that smile mean.

"Hey, Scorpio-sensei," he called, making the said teacher look up at him from his girlfriend and fellow teacher, Aquarius, before sending him a look of confusion, "Why not sing us a song?"

Everyone in the group looked from a smirking Gildarts to a completely shocked Scorpio. But Gildarts only stiffened when Scorpio smiled and nodded.

He heard snickers in the background and saw Natsu stifling a laugh as he looked up. Noticing something piercing his very soul, Natsu turned and saw Gildarts' 'Oh-you-didn't-just-laugh-at-me' look. Shivering, he gulped and looked away, pretending he didn't see anything.

"But I don't know how to play the guitar so is it okay if I let Alzack play for me? We are." Scorpio said, saying his famous words at the end. It still confuses everyone how he came up with saying that every time.

Even though he asked this, he didn't wait for an answer and whispered something to Alzack's ears, making the black haired lad smile.

Alzack began plucking the strings and almost everyone, including Lucy, close their eyes in the melodious music.

(NP: Bless the Broker Road by Rascal Flatts. Again, Standard disclaimer is applied.)

Scorpio's voice was surprisingly soothing, and the accent he used while singing it totally perfected the song.

Gray looked at Lucy, studying her face as she listened to the music with her eyes closed and her lips turned upwards into a heavenly smile. He was out on the cliff earlier again, staring at the sun setting on the horizon and how the stars take over the night sky, one-by-one.

It was a beautiful sight that it made his head clear to think about things. And because of that, he made a decision he wanted Lucy to hear first.

Gray nudged the blonde on her arm and as Lucy looked up he shocked her with a question she didn't know was capable of asking.

.

.

.

.

.

"Do you wanna dance?"

She was in a sudden daze, and if it wasn't for Gray taking his offer back and looking so bewilderingly disappointed, she wouldn't budge. Lucy immediately stood up, surprising Gray and some others. She offered her hand to him and smiled, "Come on~"

The two of them walked towards a cleared path near the bon fire and awkwardly placed their hands on their proper places― Gray's on Lucy's hips and Lucy's on Gray's shoulder. Mira, Ultear, Levy and Lisanna followed them with their eyes and it took all their power not to squeal in delight.

Lucy stared somewhere (she was mentally planning out how she will show her gratitude to Gray), still not comfortable with dancing as Gray continued to watch her. Her eyes only found his when he started talking.

"About what you asked last night," he said. With Lucy knitting her brows together showing her confusion, Gray further explained, "How I will react if ever she came back? The rooftop girl?"

Lucy's eyes widen. "Y-you don't have to force yourself to tell me anything if―"

"I really don't know what I'll do, honestly." He said, cutting her off.

They sway a little before he continued, "I've been blinded and failed to notice the people in front of me. I've always kept my head turned and didn't really appreciated the people that came into my life. But now, thinking about it after you asked me that question, I came to realize that I may be waiting for someone who I might not see again."

Gray's black orbs bore into Lucy's brown ones, the eyes he's been so captivated of. "Thanks to you, I know what I'd do now. I'll prioritize the people in front of me and let go of the past that's been holding me back."

Lucy's lips gape. She was a little disappointed knowing that Gray will give up on her, the rooftop girl, but she guessed it's time to let go too.

.

.

.

That was until she heard what he said next.

.

.

.

"I'd focus on the person in front of me now."

.

.

.

She didn't know what to feel.

She didn't know how to act.

Was that a confession, she doesn't know.

The only thing she knows is the fast beats her heart created, the smile that spread on her face, and the tears she withheld in her eyes.

He smiled down at her, a smile she had never seen him do. A smile that warm up her heart and her whole being.

"Thank you," she suddenly said.

Gray subtly creased his forehead, not understanding why she's thanking him. And Lucy merely laughed before beaming at him.

"For everything― the wavers, the 'Laxus-incident-at-his-classroom', the thunderstorm incident, you making me stay at your house, meeting your kind family, the reservation for this camp, the amusement park, taking me home that night, the concert, saving me, being there all the time when I need somebody, for caring, for worrying, for your friendship― everything. I don't really know how to thank you enough."

Gray's mouth fell agape. Did her really do that many things for her?

"I'm so glad I met you Gray." She said, leaning her face upwards and sealed a soft and sweet kiss on the cheek.

But that last sentence and kiss broke him to smiles.

.

.

.

"I'm glad I met you, too, Lucy."

..ooOoo..

The night was spent with laughter and goofing off (courtesy of Natsu), and Gray couldn't be happier.

Although his alone time with Lucy was cut short because of Mira, Ultear, Levy and Lisanna's contained squeals, he couldn't have that night any other way around.

The only confusing thing was Loke having spent the entire night sleeping. He was worried, of course― he IS one of his best friends. Loke wouldn't miss a fun opportunity like that. But he guessed he's tired and wanted to retire that night.

Gray was walking home from their trip (Lyon was off pestering Juvia, even if she declined and Ultear was hanging out with the girls for a 'trip-well-done' party.) The raven haired teen shook his head. "As if they haven't got enough partying back at camp."

He was wondering why Lyon was invited and not him. He thought maybe Mira and the others have some kind of 'plans' for Lyon and Juvia but he really wouldn't know. And he hated the fact that they were so against him coming along.

One other thing why he felt sour was the fact that he couldn't send Lucy home.

Don't make any assumptions, okay? The two of them aren't dating….yet.

Gray sighed and scratched the back of his head. Mira and the other ruined his opportunity to ask Lucy out.

Remembering this, he sighed again.

As Gray was about to set foot on their residence, a voice called out his name.

His eyes widen and his heart throbbed furiously against his chest in an uncontrollable manner.

He wasn't expecting to see her. Not when he finally admitted his feelings for Lucy. Seeing her now would only complicate things. And he was back from the start of figuring out everything he feels, again.

"I'm back, Gray."

..ooOoo..


OMO~ OMO~ OMO~

Don't you guys get mad at me! DX I don't have anything to do with that! *points a finger at the chapter* well, yea, it has everything to do with me, but I'm trying to divert your attentions to somewhere which didn't really work. =,=

DRAMA BOMB next chapter? Mwahahha~

Be ready for the major climax of this story (well, there's another one that but that would be somewhere at the end where Gray blah blah blah…I don't wanna spoil it) so stay tuned.

I WROTE THIS LAST NIGHT because of my overly inspired GrayLu shipper mind! uwaaaa~ I could finally see Gray with Lucy again in one panel! *eyes shining in expectation* But I should really learn to not expect anything since it only lead to tears and broken bones― err, heart when it didn't happen.

Uwaaaa~ My heart-guts! Mashima, please don't let my heart-guts be destroyed by your uncanny trolls. PLEASE~~

Anyway, I just love Gildarts and Cana's relationship. Making me cry when I remember their father-daughter scene in the manga. T,T

I love to imagine Gildarts having a south midland accent. Saying "thang" instead of "thing". Hihihi, if I were to pick Gildarts' human counterpart, I could see him as Blake Shelton. I don't know why. XD

*Woman Like You by Lee Brice- I just love this song the first time I heard it. :3

**Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts- if you still haven't notice it yet, I'm a fan of country music. (a lot of genres actually, but country's my fave)

Ja'ne
