Chapter 6

" YOU! " Natsu and Gray yelled in rhythm, both eyes wide especially Gray and he placed the plate with Lucy's food in the table quickly and took off her pink apron he's wearing, he blushed in embarrassment and look away.

" What's with that ice princess? You're cooking? Pft. So gay. HAHAHAHAHAHA! " And Natsu all did is to laughed hard clutching his stomach and nearly roll on the floor. Lucy also giggled slightly placing the back of her hand in her mouth, eyes closed.

" Shut up, you ash brain. " He hissed at him and looked over a giggling Lucy, " Lucy?! " He shouted and Lucy stopped giggling. She looked over the strawberry pancakes. " Mmm, yummy! " She yelled acting like a little child and start digging into her food, completely ignoring the pissed ice mage.

" Hey Lu-chan! " And went over her bestfiend, Lucy looked over her and smiled " Oh hey Levy-chan! " She replied. Levy sit beside her, " How are you? You've never been in the guild these fast few days. " Levy asked pouting. " Hm? I'm fine, I just felt sick this fast few days. " She answered and ate the last bite of her pancake. Levy eye her " Really? And why's Gray here? " She asked again mouthing the ice mage that currently glaring daggers at the dragon slayer mage, " Oh, he accompany me here. " Then Levy eyed Lucy suspiciously then nodded but still she's not convince.

" By the way Luce… " Levy suddenly said, Lucy just finished her food and the two boys stopped glaring at each other and already digging on her fridge. " Hm? " She hummed and looked at her bestfriend. " I saw Sting around Magnolia with Rouge. " She stopped talking and looked at her expression. " Yeah I know. " She replied sipping her juice, " Did you to each other already? " She asked wide-eyed and waiting anxiously at her response. Lucy took a deep breath " Certainly, yes. " Levy's mouth open and close again can't a find a word to say. " Tell me! What happened?! " Levy yelled and almost jumped from her seat, the two boys stared at them surprised. " Geez, calm down Levy. I'll tell you once we're in private and I don't want to talk about it. Not now. " Levy looked at her warily " Sorry. " She says apologetically.

" Hey, Luce we're leaving now. Erza might come here soon to visit you. " Natsu says after an hour of staying at her apartment. " Yeah, yeah. I don't see her a while I miss her already. " Natsu tapped her head and walked out of her apartment Happy following him carrying a fish and yelling that he leaves him there. She grinned and wave at them. Levy was just too stunned to tell her anything that she just hugged her a minutes ago before leaving.

But she's still not alone at her apartment, a guy with raven locks is cooly leaning against the wall near the kitchen. " You should leave too. " She said resting her hands at the either side of her waist. " Luce… " He murmurs lowly and walk unexpectedly towards her. She gulped and stood at her ground. " What? " She asked. " About what I told you at the park. " She inhales sharply and stares at him as he finally stood a step in front of her. " You know I mean it. " He continue. Let me love you, she heard it again like a mantra in her brain. " I want to court you. Please Lucy. " She stare at him wide eyes. She open her mouth and close it again, can't utter a words.

After a minutes she exhales heavily and smiled at him. Gray's eyes widen seeing her expression, " Yes. " She breathed " Court me. " He smile in triumph, grinning like an idiot and in one swift movement he hugged her tight. " Thanks Lucy, I'm so happy. " He kisses her forehead and Lucy smiled, glad of her decision.

They spend the whole night talking a lot of things before Gray decided to leave. " Well, Lucy see you tomorrow at the guild. " She smiled #, " Yeah, thank you for spending the whole night here. " She says slyly. " My pleasure. " And with that he gave her a brief hug and leave. Leaving Lucy smiling and shakes her head but still grinning before closing the door.
