Memory Loss

By Flawed-Design8

Lucy groaned. Her head hurt like hell.

What happened? She thought, sitting up.

She found herself in her room tucked in her bed right where she belonged. So why did she feel lost?

Making her way to the bathroom, Lucy grabbed a couple Advil and swallowed them, not caring about anything other than the fact she felt like dying and that she had no memories whatsoever of last night.

Crap, was this a hangover?

The celestial Mage groaned once more. No. No. No, no, no! She would never drink that much alcohol, right?

Right?

Sighing, Lucy tried to remember what she could about the previous evening.

Nothing. Her mind drew up a blank.

Shit.

Suddenly, there was a knock on her front door. Moaning, Lucy rolled over and got up off the bathroom floor. She hadn't even realized she'd been sitting.

Opening the door, she was met with a very angry stare coming from a very angry girl.

"Juvia? Is that you?" Lucy squinted as the bright sunshine blinded her and made her head hurt more, if that was even possible.

"Yes it is. May I please come in?" Juvia's voice seemed forced.

"Uh, I guess." Lucy opened the door a little more, letting the water mage past her and into her humble apartment.

"Thank you." Juvia looked around, seeing Lucy's apartment for the first time.

Spotting a small yet comfy pink chair in the corner, the bluenette settled herself comfortably in it.

"So, uh... Would you like some tea?" Lucy felt slightly awkward, having never been left completely alone with the water mage before.

"Yes please, that would be wonderful."

Lucy smiled through her headache and shuffled over to the kitchen, where she promptly placed a pot on the stove and added some water. After a few minutes and a nice pot of green tea served into delicate white teacups, Juvia finally started explaining the reason for her spontaneous visit.

"So Lucy... Did you have fun last night?"

Lucy nearly spit out her tea.

"Um... Last night?"

Juvia's eyes narrowed. "Yes, at the little party?"

Blurry memories of dancing and loud music finally started appearing in the celestial mage's memory.

"Oh, yeah, that." she smiled nervously. "Uh, yes? It was... exiting?"

Juvia scowled and Lucy wondered if she should have said it was terrible instead. Truthfully, she didn't even remember half of it so she couldn't say if it was fun or not. But no way was she telling Juvia that she had gotten drunk and lost all memory of the so-called "party".

"So you and Gray are dating now right?" the water-mage asked forcefully.

This time, Lucy really did spit out her tea.

"What?!"

Juvia looked confused and frowned in thought. "Oh, so the passionate make-out session Juvia saw was a... fluke?"

Lucy was still recovering from her previous spit-take and this time choked on air. Juvia watched her worriedly as she stumbled into the kitchen and over to the sink, quickly swallowing water, trying to breathe. After she calmed down a little, Lucy walked back to their little tea table and crashed down into her chair. Groaning she rubbed her temples.

"Did I seriously make-out with Gray?" her voice cracked at the end.

Juvia looked slightly lost but nevertheless nodded in acquisition.

Double shit.

"Oh god..." Lucy didn't know what to do.

Juvia sniffed indignantly. "Well, since this clearly isn't going anywhere, I'll be taking my leave."

The water mage got up and stomped to the front door.

She looked back one last time and Lucy couldn't help catching the hurt look in her eyes.
"Oh, thanks for the tea..."

As she heard the door slam, Lucy sighed.

Apparently, getting drunk had been a very, very stupid idea.

There he was. In the furthest corner of Fairy Tail's guild hall. Lucy drew in a deep breath and started walking towards him.

"Um, hey Gray, can we talk?"

When he looked up at her, she could see that there were bags underneath his eyes and his clothes were rumpled.

"Uh, yeah sure." he looked really tired.

Lucy led Gray outside to a private corner where they wouldn't be overheard (or watched by Juvia).

Both mages felt uncomfortable as Lucy dug her toe into the ground and Gray looked away to the incredibly interesting brick wall on his right.

Lucy coughed slightly and the ice mage gazed over at her.

"So..." she started, bracing herself. "About last night, I-"

"Stop."

Lucy stared up at the dark-haired boy in front of her.

"What?"

"I know you weren't thinking straight." he sighed, finally meeting her eyes. "I was kinda drunk as well so..."

Lucy gulped and looked down at her shoes.

"Yeah, I don't even remember anything..."

"You don't?" Gray's voice held a heavy note of surprise and she looked up once more.

Then he gave a laugh that she could tell was forced.

"Then consider it over and done! We can just forget all about it." he chuckled.

Lucy could tell he felt disappointed and wondered if maybe he had hoped there was feeling behind their previous actions. She realized it hurt her too and reached for him unconsciously.
He froze and his laugh stopped short as she grabbed his arm. They both stated at her delicate hand as if it had moved on its own. Then slowly, as if it had been planned, both pairs of eyes moved until they locked on each other.

Lucy's breath caught as she realized what was about to happen next. She should've stopped it right then and there, but she didn't. She didn't want to stop.

Gray leaned down, inching closer and closer and Lucy found herself tilting her head up in expectation.

When his lips met hers, she melted. So maybe her drunken mind had been set the right direction when she made-out with Gray.

Because if the way her heart was pounding and her head spinning were any indication, she was pretty sure she felt something towards the ice-mage.

His lips danced against hers and she relished the taste and coolness as she responded with enthusiasm.

When he pulled away, Lucy sighed, her cold breath forming a small cloud in the warm air.

Opening her eyes, she looked at Gray with an amused expression.

"Well, I guess things are slightly awkward right now." she laughed nervously.

Gray smirked and shook his head.

"Actually, I feel pretty confident right now."

Lucy gasped as he rammed her into the wall, leaning in close so his lips were against her ear.

"I love..." he started and she tensed, not ready for such a heavy confession.

"...your smile."

Lucy laughed out loud at that and the ice-mage smirked again. She punched his arm playfully.

"You baka!" she giggled. "I was scared there!"

"Yeah, but at least it's not awkward anymore right?" he retorted, eyes sparkling mischievously.

Laughing, the pair made their way back inside the guild.

Lucy was radiating with joy. Maybe getting drunk was a stupid idea, but she sure was glad it had happened this time.

After all, she had Gray now.

And he was all she needed.

A/N: So... Um hi! Yeah, it's summer, time to write fanfiction like crazy, blah-blah-blah. Sorry. I have been writing fanfiction like crazy, btw. Just nothing worth reading :/

Ahaha… this one's Lucy x Gray. Honestly, I'm not crazy about this pairing. Yet here I am, writing more fanfiction about them that I deem worthy enough for you guys to read.

I swear, I confuse even myself sometimes.

I just... All those reviews asking for more and I... Well that's it. End of story.

But no more! Please! I-I can't!

Lucy needs to be with Natsu! Gray needs to be with Erza!

But no good fanfics for these pairings from me yet?

What the hell is wrong with my stupid brain? :P

Anyways, this should probably, almost certainly (like 99,9% sure) be the last of my Lucy x Gray stuff.

Sorry to disappoint.

Oh yeah! Almost forgot again!

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail, its characters, its settings and blah-blah-blah. Oh and I don't own Advil either. Well I do own some, but not the company. Lol.

This author's note is way too long so...

~Peace!~
