Anime One Shots Book 1

Gray X Fem!Reader (Fairy Tail) {I Wanna Be Yours}

This is thanks to the song "I Wanna Be Yours" by Arctic Monkeys. You don't have to play it while you listening but I think you should when you see the words in italics.

Gray steps into the guild wearing the fanciest clothes he had. Second fanciest actually, if someone spilt a drink on it he wouldn't start a fight over it. The room was filled with fairy lights running across the very top of the room. Tables and chairs were set up close to the bar, each table had lit candles. Each candle was lit by Natsu's magic so that if it was turned over it would burn out before it hit the floor.

A few of the lesser known guild members were at the bar watching others dance in the center. Two S-class mages watched from above, enjoying a more peaceful ball. It was Mirajane's idea to hold this event but she is choosing to watch from above with Laxus. "And here I thought you would be dancing the night away." Laxus comments, Mirajane gives him a puzzled look.

"And why would you think that?"

He chuckles, "you are the one who set this event up. Haven't you outgrown your match making your match making job yet?"

"Not quite," she hums, "I still have one left. But I'm not going to interfere."

Laxus laughs dryly, "oh really? Already set you plan in motion then?"

"There's no need for a plan." She replies, nodding her head in the direction of Gray, who's walking over to his work partner. "They'll take care of it all by themselves. All I have to do is watch from above."

As Gray walks over to his friend, he has trouble finding what to say. For him this is a bit out of character, he isn't a nervous or shy person. Luckily he didn't have to say anything, "surprised you came." (Y/n) says, handing him a drink.

"Speak for yourself." He takes a sip of the drink, "people watching today?"

She nods, "you know I don't dance." She takes a long sip of her drink, "looks like we're both wall flowers today." 

"Oh!" Wendy says, looking over from where she was talking to Romeo. "We can get (Y/n) to teach you!" She takes him by the hand and they walk over there. "Excuse me." She smiles.

"Hey Wendy, what are you two here? I thought you would be dancing with your team." (Y/n) greets.

"Well..." Romeo starts, "we're both a bit embarrassed..."

"And we would like you to teach us how to dance." Wendy asks, "just something easy and short so we don't take up too much of your time."

(Y/n) chuckles but agrees, "you know you could've found me before the event started." She holds out her hand to Romeo, "let's see your moves kid."

Gray chokes on his drink because of that sentence as the two walked off. Him and Wendy make small talk as they watched the others dance. Romeo steps on (Y/n) foot a few times as they move back and forth. "Did you guys want to learn how to slow dance?" Gray asks.

"Yeah." Wendy replies, "that's the only way we can dance together."

"Kids sure are innocent these days." He finishes of his drink. When he sees them dancing, he sees a genuine smile on his work partners face. It was a small one, but it wasn't something that happened everyday.

"She's really pretty when she smiles like that." Wendy comments, "do you see that often? Since you guys work together so much?"

He shakes his head, "not often no. It's hardly ever directed at me though." By the way Gray looks over at her, you could tell he sees her as more than a 'work partner'. Any older guild member knows about the mutual crush between them. Some says that look has been plastered on Gray's face since they were young teenagers. Now in their early late teens, those same people wonder if they actually like each other.
