Ok here's my second fanfic, Ice and Keys!

*** WARNING: This is after everyong got back from Edolas, so if you haven't seen/read that yet this includes spoilers. ***

I really hope you enjoy it and please review when you've read it!

Summary: Gray has very strong feelings for Lucy, but will he ever be able to confess to her with all of the rowdy guild members? Or will his love stay silent?

Pairings: Gray x Lucy, Levy x Gajeel, MiraJane x Freed, Bisca x Alzack. ( Maybe some other pairings but that's all I plan to include :D )

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Fairy Tail, not the anime manga or any of the characters. All the rights go to Hiro Mashima. I only own this story.


A certain blonde Celestial wizard leant over her desk as she neatly wrote on a piece of paper, it was a gorgeous day and all of the curtains were open, allowing the morning sun to stream through the windows as her pen danced across the paper.


Mama,

Everything is going so well here at Fairy Tail, we just came back from Edolas and it was so different there! Everyone from the guild had a double, mine was really scary according to Natsu but she was so strong without even using magic! I hope I can get as strong as her!

Anyway, Lisanna is now back at the guild and everyone is so happy to have her back! With Mira and Elfman, the family is back together again and I'm so happy for them, Lisanna came back from the dead!

I'm doing fine, I just need to grow stronger as a part of Fairy Tail's strongest team! I wish I could be a powerful wizard like Natsu, Erza or Gray...

My tiny crush on Natsu is all gone, I don't know why I liked ash-brains in the first place, ha! I even use Gray's names for Pinky now! It's so funny!

I've noticed Gray is opening up to me a lot more and we talk a lot, instead of just me and Natsu hanging around each other. I think I might like him, but I don't want to jump to any conclusions like I did with Natsu!

Well, I better go to the guild and see if there are any jobs I can go on!

Love always,

Lucy.


Lucy Heartfilia set her pen down on her desk and stretched her arms above her head, letting out a yawn as she looked out of her apartment window, watching the clouds go by on another fine morning in Magnolia.

"Hmm, maybe I should to the guild..." She sighed lazily and stood up from her chair.

The daily routine of brushing her silky blonde hair began as she tied it up neatly with a blue ribbon. A brown belt was hung around her waists, Celestial keys jingling slightly with every step she took. Lucy slipped on her long combat boots and walked out of her apartment, blonde hair shining beautifully in the glorious sun.

A raven-haired ice wizard was leaning up against her apartment building, one foot pressed on the building's wall and his hands stuffed in his pockets. He was wearing his dark green pants and black shoes, no shirt on of course, with Gray being Gray. He glanced over in Lucy's direction as she walked out of the door.

"Hey, Lucy." He called to her, Lucy turned and flashed a gorgeous smile in his direction.

"Gray! What are you doing here?" She asked, now standing next to him as they began to walk towards the guild.

"Uh, well umm... I figured I'd walk to the guild with you... That ok?" He seemed somewhat nervous, which was extremely rare for the famous Gray Fullbuster.

Lucy smiled, "Yeah sure! I usually only walk with Plue!" she said giggling at the fact that she walked to the guild daily with a 'dog' (?) called Plue that said 'pun-puuun-puun'.

There was a long and awkward silence as the two Fairy Tail wizards walked along the cobblestone path towards the guild.

"So are you going on any missions?" Gray tried to make a decent conversation, he was nervous and wasn't sure how he could talk to Lucy without raising her suspicions.

"I dunno yet, I'll look at the request board when we get to the guild." Lucy felt so shook up, she was walking to the guild alone with GRAY. The guy she has loved for so long. 'What should I to say to him? Does he have the same feelings for me?'

Gray noticed a frown appear on the blonde wizard's face, he watched her expressions, wondering what she could be thinking about. His raven-coloured brows furrowed as he stared at her intently.

'He's staring at me!' a voice in Lucy's head screamed in embarrassment when she saw the ice-wizards intense gaze. She felt her face heating up and shifted her gaze to the ground, trying to avoid eye contact with Gray.

"Lucy, I-" Gray started to speak but was cut off.

"Yo, Lucy!" A rose-haired Dragon Slayer ran out of the guild towards the blonde, swinging an arm lazily around her thin shoulder.

"Hey, Natsu!" Lucy greeted him with that heart-stopping smile of hers.

"Luuuuccyyyyy!" Happy dived into her chest, hugging her with tears forming in his eyes.

"Happy! What's wrong?" Lucy hugged him and looked at him with concern all over her beautiful face.

"I haven't seen you in ages Lucy! Go on a mission with us!" Happy cried, although he had seen Lucy just two days ago. Lucy sweat dropped and sighed as she lifted the blue cat away from her chest.

"Happy, you saw me two days ago when we went on that last quest. I was just resting at home for a while before I took another mission." Lucy explained to them, then she smiled at the cat and Dragon Slayer which made Gray a bit jealous.

The three wizards and blue cat walked into the Fairy Tail guild, which was in the midst of a drinking competition. Cana was sitting cross-legged on a table, chugging down a huge barrel of alcohol. Macao and Wakaba simply couldn't take in so much alcohol so they had long passed out on the table, their faces red from the liquor.

"That is not manly, Cana!" Elfman roared at the brunette, who just put down her barrel and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. Elfman just crossed his arms across his chest, thinking that was the manliest thing to do.

"Lucky for you, BUT I'M NOT A MAN YOU IDIOT!" Cana yelled back at him rudely whilst swinging her arms in the air as though she was drunk. She probably was, even Cana couldn't take in that much alcohol with out feeling a bit drunk.

The two kept on arguing over really stupid things, Lucy just watched them and giggled when Elfman kept calling Cana a man.

"Man, everyone's really loud today..." Gray sighed as he dragged his feet and sat at a table, a bit further away from all the noise. Lucy followed after him and sat in the seat across from him, so they were facing each other.

The blonde cupped her head with her hands, elbows resting on the smooth wooden table while Gray just slouched back and crossed his arms across his muscular chest. (Which had no clothing on it since he was outside Lucy's house)

Lucy couldn't help but stare at his masterpiece of a body and she blushed when their eyes made contact. She blushed and looked down to avoid his icy gaze. Lucy's hands played with the hem of her skirt nervously as Gray continued to gaze at her, a look of interest on his face.

"S-so, what was the real reason you were outside my house this morning, Gray?" Lucy asked, looking up at him with those adorable chocolate brown eyes.

"Well, uh..."


Cliffhanger! I hoped you guys liked it! I tried to make it really detailed and descriptive, so I hope it was good!
