Chapter 7 | The Solid Script

The Solid Script

Inside Gray's home was a wonderful interior that he innovatively outlined without anyone else's input. His subject encompasses a cool and neutral tone and it is the thing that made Lucy feel relaxed with. The coolness inside his home causes her to ease her psyche as she shut the laptop Gray lent her.

"Man, I'm beat."

The blonde let her body sprawl out on the grey sofa of Gray's lounge room. She haven't particularly begun anything to do yet she feels tired as of now. She opened her eyes and looks at the ceiling. This is the first time she has ever been inside his home and she as of now feels like she can be here at whatever point she enjoys.

It's chill and neat.

Juvia and Levy haven't generally welcomed her over their homes and despite the fact that the two have been to her home, she feels ungainly to do likewise to them. Lucy's anxious about the idea that she may leave bad impressions to their guardians if she went uninvited just like that. She already tried that once with her friends from back then and she always feel like their parents doesn't like her that much. Or she might be overthinking. That and she's still their new friend, after all.

Not only that though but she feels more comfortable being with a male friend. Furthermore, to her case, that is Gray Fullbuster.

"Here, eat up." Gray tossed her a bottle of milk and a box of oreos.

"Sweet!" She perked up at the word 'eat' and effortlessly caught it with her hands. "Thanks!"

Gray went to her house earlier to check up on her and was surprised to see her grimacing and gazing outside her room.

Apparently, Aquarius shut her out when she went to ask what was disturbing her and give her solace. She declined to leave her room and demanded that she's fine and needn't bother with Lucy's assistance. It was rude as far as it matters for Gray but he some way or another comprehended that women will always be women.

One of the best comfort one can provide for somebody is space for the interim. Thus, Gray chose to invite Lucy over so she could leave her Aunt some space and let her face herself first. She may have been experiencing some unpleasant time and being separated from everyone else with her musings can offer assistance.

Lucy agreed with the thought and here they are presently.

"We're partners in Arts, right?" She asked him as she chomped on her treats.

Gray pressed together his lips in thought as he completely overlooked it. "Yes."

"We could use this time to practice then!" She suggested, "I really couldn't care less but my grant is at stake if I flop even one course."

"Sure, what are we going to do then? Any idea?"

She blinked, "No, I was thinking that you would have one."

"Well, I don't have any."

"..." she pursed her lips.

"What now?" He tried to hide the surfacing grin at how she sighed at him in utmost defeat.

Lucy shrugged it off, "Never mind. Let's just do the talking and thinking today then practice tomorrow. Sounds good?"
