Gray & Scarlet

Chapter 8: So far so Good

GRAY'S POV

We walked to the guild together, I noticed Erza was acting a bit fussy.

"What's up?" I said
"Maybe we shouldn't let the whole guild know we're together yet" Erza said
"Why not?" I replied replied
"I'm not ready to let anyone know it yet, what if everyone gets a heart attack, what if... what if..." Erza said
"You're afraid of how everyone will treat you, because you have a boyfriend? Am I right?" I said
Erza nodded while blushing
"Don't tell the great Erza Scarlet is afraid of being treated like a girl?" I said
Erza bonked my head
"I am a girl!" Erza said
"Yes Ma'am!" I said dizzily
Erza grabbed my head to hug against her chest, as good as that sounds, unfortunately she was wearing her Heart Kreuz armor, I got a face full of metal.
"Thank you" Erza said sincerely

After I regained consciousness after two consecutive concussions.

"You should go ahead first, I'll follow in a couple of minutes" I said

Erza gave me a quick peck on the cheek
"Erza please, were in public" I said
As I said that I also gave her a quick peck on the cheek.
Erza looked at me with the expression 'What was that?' while blushing
"Het, you started it" Gray said

Erza went inside the guild first, after a couple of minutes I followed.

When I entered a guild. I see Lucy surrounded by Natsu eating a mountain of food, Wendy talking with Carla, and Erza eating strawberry cake...that last part I thought 'Yep thats Erza'.Lucy waved her hand to get my attention, I waved my hand back. I went to Mirajane by the bar to get something to drink.
"Good morning Gray, can I get you something?" Mirajane said with a smile
"Morning Mira, some OJ would be nice, thanks" I said
She served me my drink when I remembered something
"Hey Mira, I need a favor...being the match-maker that you are-" I said
"Ooooh, would Gray like me to set a date with Juvia" Mirajane said
"Uh... no, you probably don't know yet but I already talked to Juvia...about,you know... me not liking her back" I said
"You're so cold Gray" Mirajane said
"Hey, I'll have you know we ended on good terms and are good friends now. Now speking of-" I said as I saw Juvia
"Good morning Juvia" Gray said while waving my hand
"Good morning Gray-sama" Juvia said with a smile
I felt Erza's gaze pierce through me from across the room, I shuddered. I snapped out of it

"How are you doing Juvia?" I asked
"Juvia is doing fine Gray-sama, I forgot to say thank you for being so nice to Juvia yesterday" Juvia said
I faced Mirajane and raised my brow, my expression saying I Told You So.
Mirajane just pouted and faced to the side.

"So anyway what are you doing today?" I said facing Juvia now
"Juvia is going on a 3-day job with Gajeel and Lily today" Juvia said
"Good Luck on the Job" I said
"Ok, Thank you Gray-sama" Juvia said
Juvia runs off.

I face Mirajane again
"So... about that favor?"I said
"Who am I going to set you up with?" Mirajane said
"No. Not me, you remember that guy from Lamia Scale, Lyon Vastia. I want you to set him up with Juvia" I said
"Why can't you do it yourself?" Mirajane asked
"Well Lyon wouldn't believe me, if I ask him myself his ego with me won't allow him to accept" I said
"Is Juvia ok with this?" Mirajane said
"Yeah she's ok with it" I said
"Ok fine, I'll set it up after Juvia comes back from her job" Mirajane said
"Thanks Mira, I owe you one" I said
I finished my drink and went over to Lucy's table.
"Hey Gray, we got a job request specifically for our team, you in?" Lucy said
"Who's the client?" I said
"Remember the guy from the theater, Rabian" Lucy said
As soon as Lucy said theater, Erza's eyes lit up
"We will take the job" Erza proclaimed
"I also want to go, I want to ask Rabian something for my novel" Lucy said
"Oh, I wanna come with you guys, I've never been to a theater before"Wendy said
"Of course you can come Wendy" Erza said
"Oh, I don't wanna" Natsu said
"Aye" Happy said
"Well I think it's a good opportunity for Wendy to go see the world" Carla said
"I go wherever Carla goes" Happy said quickly switching sides
Then they all looked at me, as if I'm the deciding factor
"So Gray, you in?" Lucy said
Honestly I didn't want to, the last time we went there, we got stuck there for 3 weeks and performed in the play 3 times a day. I look over at Erza she giving me this look, her face was looking like she's saying 'Pweeeeeese'. Dammit Erza, Fine.
"I wonder what the place looks like after 7 years? Yeah, sure I'm in" I said
"Alright that settles it, we leave tomorrow morning. You're still coming with us Natsu"

The rest of the day went by as usual in the guild. Natsu managed to start a riot again. When Natsu and I were fighting, Erza came in between us and bashed our heads together.
Well this is much like any other day in the Fairy Tail Guild.
