"Having fun?" Gray asked with a smirk.

"Yes!" Ultear laughed, smiling wide. He smiled and pushed her again. He thought it was adorable how she wouldn't stop laughing. Swinging was always her favorite thing to do at the park. His eyes scanned the park again. He saw Lucy pass by earlier, and it looked like she was looking for someone. He saw Laxus, too, but he looked like he was just walking around.

Gray's eyes landed on Lyon. He was talking to the pink-haired girl. If he remembered correctly, her name was Sherry. She came over to their house a few times to play, so he knew they were friends. His eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw Lucy tap Lyon's shoulder. Lyon turned around a blushed bright red. She said something to him, but he couldn't read her lips. Then she kissed Lyon. His eyes were as wide as saucers. He stopped pushing Ultear and ran over to his brother.

"What the hell?!" he asked angrily, stopping beside them. He could see Lyon trying to push Lucy back, clearly uncomfortable. When he went forward to try and help his brother, he felt someone holding him back. He turned around and saw Laxus.

"Don't," he warned. Gray looked back to Lucy. She finally let Lyon go. She collapsed to her knees in sobs. He was really confused. Laxus walked past him and knelt beside Lucy. She immediately leaned into him, crying into his chest.

"What's going on?" Gray asked. He didn't bother sounding nice about it, either.

"You okay?" Laxus asked. Lucy nodded and wiped her eyes.

"Give me my notebook," she said, holding her hand out. He handed her the book and a pen. She started writing something in it.

"How long?" Laxus asked.

"He looked about fourteen," she said, closing her book.

"Gray!" a voice cried. They all turned and saw Ultear running towards them. She stopped beside Gray and looked to Lyon. She smiled. "Lyon!" she said happily, laughing. She ran over and hugged him.

"Are you related?" Lucy asked.

"Lyon and Ultear are my younger siblings," Gray all but hissed.

Laxus grabbed Lucy's notebook and opened it. "Ultear Milkovich," he read. He looked over to the little girl.

"You're kidding," Lucy sighed. Laxus shook his head. Gray watched in amazement as Lucy reached over and grabbed the back of Ultear's shirt. She pulled the little girl towards her. She then kissed her. It didn't last as long as the one with Lyon, though. She let the girl go, a small smile on her face.

"Well?" Laxus asked. Gray thought it was some sick joke. He assumed Laxus was asking how the kiss was, but he was way off.

"Old age," Lucy said. "We're done here." She stood up and started walking away. Laxus quickly followed.

"Wait!" Gray called.

But they were already gone.

It had been a week since the day at the park. Lucy wad acting like it never happened. Gray could only wish he could forget. He couldn't think of how to bring it up. Is there even a way to casually bring up something like that?

"Loke, stop hitting on Lucy!" Erza yelled.

Lucy was officially a member of student council. She would skip most of her classes like everyone else. It bothered Gray how casual she would be. He couldn't imagine what his friends would think if they found out that she kissed small children.

Something about Lucy wasn't right. He knew that, yet he was still drawn to her. Everytime she would laugh or smile, he would smile, too. He could stare into her chocolate eyes all day. What really bothered him, though, was the way she acted. She always seemed so distant, not letting anyone get too close. No, that wasn't true. She wouldn't let anyone but Laxus get close. She seemed so at ease around him, and Gray couldn't help but feel jealous. He didn't know their relation, but he knew they weren't related.

"Are you coming?"

Gray jerked back into reality. Lucy was standing in front of him. Her backpack was over her shoulder, and she was holding her leather notebook to he chest.

She always had that notebook with her. She had it that day at the park. After kissing Lyon and Ultear, she wrote something inside. He was dying to know what she wrote.

"Gray, it's time to go to lunch," Lucy said.

"Maybe I'm overthinking this," he sighed.

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

"What? Oh, nothing," he quickly said. "Let's go eat."

Lucy just rolled her eyed and followed him out of the room.

Sorry for the short chapter! I think the next few are going to be a little short, just to let you know. This chapter is mainly Gray organizing his thoughts, which will hopefully help you guys. A guest commented about Lyon dying because Lucy kissed him. I'm assuming you used the title for that, right? You all aren't going to be in the dark until Gray finds out. I am going to make sure you know before he does, so there will be some situational irony in future chapters.

I'm not quite sure how beta reading works. I understand what it is, though. I've never seen a function to share the story with someone to have it beta read. I actually made a beta reading profile, but I don't know what to do from there. If someone could help me out, that'd be awesome. I always thought it would be cool to beta read stories, so I want to try it out!
