Lucy woke up, feeling cold yet warm. Only one person is cold, yet makes you feel warm. And that person had their head against her chest, hugging her waist. She smiled and hugged his head, burying her face and hands in his hair. She mumbled something and went back to sleep.
A minute later, she felt dripping wet against her skin. She jerked back and blushed. Gray sat up and whiped his nose. In his defense, he woke up to his face pressed against her breasts. Of course he would get a nose bleed. She grabbed a tissue from her nightstand and wiped the blood from her cleavage. She found it odd that she was only wearing her underwear.
Then she remembered. After Gray's family and Laxus found them in a very awkward position, they somehow had a pillow fight. Not wearing any clothes, Lucy made herself comfortable on her bed. At one point, Gray was knocked onto the bed. He fell asleep instantly. His family said it was fine, then left. Instead of putting clothes on, she just went to sleep.
"Can you, uh, put some clothes on?" Gray asked, awkwardly looking away. He was pretty sure if he looked at her again, his nose would bleed. He wasn't really looking the night before, so he didn't even notice that her underwear was matching, lacy, and red. He quickly shook the image from his head.
"I think we should stay like this," Lucy said, leaning over to hug Gray's waist. She considered it payback for the towel incident.
"I really think you should put something on," Gray said. He would only have to move his fingers a few inches, and he could unclasp her bra. He felt his whole body heat up at the thought. "You need to get off me, like, now," he said quickly, yet sternly.
"But I'm comfy!" she said in a teasing voice. She thought she was being funny, but she didn't realize what she was doing to him. He was about ten seconds from forgetting all his morals.
"Damn it, Lucy," he hissed.
"What?" she asked innocently. She gently kissed his jaw. She was having so much fun messing with him.
She was surprised when he just pushed her off of him and left the room. She huffed and laid back onto the bed.

"Morning," Lucy said with a yawn, entering first period. She threw her backpack beside her seat and slumped in her stool. She yawned again.
"Someone's tired," Lisanna laughed. She was pretty tired herself, since it was a Monday, but she stopped yawning a while ago.
"Yeah, I am," Lucy said. She sat up and yawned, stretching her arms. She sighed in content and rested her head on Gray's shoulder. He imedietally stiffened, not daring to look at her. "Relax your shoulder," she said, wiggling her head.
"What's up with you?" Natsu asked. Gray never acted so nervous around Lucy before. Something must have happened, but she was still okay with him, so he didn't know what.
"Uh, nothing," Gray quickly said. He looked over and saw Ciel and his friends enter the room. "Lucy, why don't you see what Ciel is up to?" He hated pushing her to him, but he needed an excuse to get her away. She yawned and walked over to him.
"Okay, something really is wrong," Lisanna said. "You just sent Lucy over to Ciel."
"I-It's nothing," Gray stuttered. He blushed, thinking about the weekend.
"See! You even blushed!" Lisanna said, pointing to his face.
He let out a sigh. "Fine, I'll tell you." Lisanna and Natsu leaned in, wanting to hear every word. "So I went to go see Lucy, and she was sleeping. I woke her up, not really thinking. One event led to another, and I found and she was only in her underwear, since she was sleeping, so that image is burned into my brain. But then she started taking things further, which was interrupted by my family. But on Sunday, it got real awkward."
"You left out too many details," Lisanna said. "I'm pretty confused."
"I think he said they were about to have sex," Natsu whispered loudly. Gray blushed and slammed his head against the table.
"Thank you, Natsu! I didn't know that!" Lisanna said sarcastically.

Juvia walked into first period, a smile on her face. Although it may be awkward after kissing Gray, she had high hopes. Her path was blocked by Ciel and Lucy. The blonde was walking over. She wrapped her arms around his neck and let her body go limp. He held her around the waist.
"I'm tired," she mumbled. She pressed her nose into his neck, enjoying the feeling of an actually relaxed shoulder that didn't hurt her head.
"I can see that," he laughed. He thought it was funny the she came to him, instead of Gray.
Juvia smiled and walked around them. She lost track of how many times she thought they were cute together. She just hoped her and Gray could be like that someday.
"Thank you, Natsu! I didn't know that!" Lisanna said sarcastically.
"Didn't know what?" Juvia asked, sitting down. Everyone froze. Juvia shouldn't know.
"The pythagreon theorem. Natsu was just telling me about it, but I already know," Lisanna quickly said. Invisible question marks appeared above Natsu's head. He had no clue what she just said.
"Ciel had to go take something to a teacher," Lucy mumbled, slumping back into her seat. She folded her arms and rested her head on the table.
And at that moment, they all realized how awkward it would be between Lucy, Juvia, and Gray.

"Gray," Juvia said, catching his attention. Gray looked up from the cash register. He was making sure he had the correct amount so he could leave. He had to leave early to go to Layla's class. He understood what Lucy meant, since it was Tuesday, and the last class was in Friday. He didn't understand how he magically knew when to go.
"What up?" Gray asked, looking back at the cash register.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go in a date," Juvia said. Gray stopped counting. He was frozen, actually. "You said that maybe you could learn to love me. I figured if we went on a date, we could see how it works."
Gray realized that he still hadn't told her that he's dating Lucy. She hasn't been around the right moments to tell, either. Last time he tried to tell her, Mira interrupted. "Juvia, I-"
"Hey, Gray!" Lucy chirped, entering the fast food restaurant. She smiled at Juvia and sat on the counter. She didn't hold a grudge against Juvia, since they kissed way before she even moved to Magnolia.
"Lucy!" Gray said, faking excitement. He wasn't sure if he could tell Juvia with Lucy there, just because it could be a disaster, especially since Lucy doesn't know about Juvia kissing him a few days before.
"Guess who's joining class tonight!" Lucy said happily. "Yep, it's me. I had a lot if fun when you were helping me, and I figured I would try a class. Cool, huh?"
"That's great," he said. He continued counting the money. He wasn't sure how well it was going to work. If he didn't get a chance to tell Juvia, she might find out. He wanted to wait for the right moment, preferably when he's brings it up. But if she brings it up in front of Lucy...
"Chase's waiting for me outside," Lucy said, jumping off the counter. "He was coming to town, so I figured I would tag along with him." She waved and left the establishment. Gray let out a breathe of relief.
"Who's Chase?" Juvia asked.
"It's Ciel's brother. He's actually dating Ultear," Gray explained. He locked the register and jumped the counter. "Well, lets get going."

"Okay, Lucy," Layla said. "Just try to follow along, okay? You'll probably be confused, but that's okay."
"I'll be fine!" Lucy said, rolling her eyes. Layla was coddling her like a little baby.
"Line up!" Layla yelled. All her students ran to the mats, lining up. They all helped Lucy find her lace in line. Gray couldn't help but smile. "I want you all to do routine three!"
Everyone started doing exercises. Lucy stood there awkwardly, not sure what to do. They all seemed to just know. She looked up to Gray. He was leaning up against a wall. He pointed to the sign beside his head. It was labeled ROUTINE 3. She noticed five posters, all different warm ups. She nodded and started doing push ups. By the time she did her twenty, everyone else was done with their whole warm up. She sighed and stood up.
"Roughhouse kicks!" Layla yelled. All the students chimed their 'yes ma'am' and started kicking. "Juvia, go around and help them. Gray, go help Lucy in the corner." She went to the side if the room and started playing with papers.
Juvia went from student to student, making sure they were kicking correctly. Ever so often, she would look over to Lucy and Gray. She noticed that the blonde was very giddy. She was always quiet at school, so it made her wonder. Of course, some people are just tired at school. She would then discard the assumption, only to rethink it moments later.
"I want you all to get into your sparring groups!" Layla called. "Gray, you can just stick with Lucy."
"I can go with Lucy, so Gray can have a break," Juvia offered.
"I think he'll be okay," Layla laughed.
"When fighting, you always want to keep your hands up " Gray said, moving Lucy's arms. "You'll be able to block easier."
"Okay," she said. She kept her hands in front of her face. He just threw weak punches, and she blocked them. When he kicked, she would step to the side. He was going really slow and not using much force so she could practice. This went on for twenty minutes before Layla ended class.
Juvia went to the bathroom to change. When she came out, she saw Gray and Lucy talking at the side of the room. She got close enough to hear what they were saying.
"I could so take you," Lucy said, crossing her arms and puffing out her cheaks.
"I don't think so," Gray laughed, leaning against the wall.
"I could think of two ways to beat you," she said.
"Oh?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"One, I could kick you in the balls," she said, holding up a finger. She held up her second one. "I could distract you."
"I don't get distracted that easily," he defended himself. He fought Sting with hundreds of people screaming. He barely even noticed them.
"I can remember a time when you were very distracted." She wrapped her arms around his neck and put her head against his chest.
"I guess you have a point," he laughed.
Juvia noticed his red face. She wasn't sure what they were talking about, and she wasn't sure if she wanted to know. When she saw Lucy kiss Gray, she wondered what was happening. She thought Lucy was dating Ciel. She became more confused when Gray held her waist and kissed her back. Her heart shattered.
"G-Gray?"
