Chapter Three - Dramatic Clothes


-/-/-


"Thank you, Mira," Erza said to Mira as she gave her a slice of strawberry cake.


It had been three days since they did the play job. Erza had also noticed that Gray was feeling slightly better than he was a week ago. He was smiling, drinking coffee while reading X792 newspapers and often picking fights with Natsu.


"Oh, Erza, you like him, don't you?" Mira smiled, snapping Erza from her thoughts, "I noticed you stare at Gray for days now."


"Oh, I'm just happy for him," Erza answered as she continued looking at Gray, who was, indeed, drinking coffee while reading X792 newspapers, "He seems better now. No longer drunk and depressed."


"You know, you two really complement each other," Mira winked at her, "He strips a lot and you wear a lot. And, you two would look cute. I bet when you get married, you'll get red-haired boys and raven-haired girls. Isn't that adorable?"


"M-Marriage?"


One thing that made Erza nervous and maybe jealous.


Marriage.


Mira laughed, "Aw, you two are so adorable. You two remind me of Elfman and Evergreen. So adorable."


With that, Mira walked away, giving a barrel of booze to Cana.


Erza sighed. Have I really been staring at Gray a lot? It's not like I like him that way, she thought.


"Erza, fight me!" she heard Natsu's voice and immediately punched him in the face, which knocked him down in an instant.


"That's a good punch, Erza," Gray went to her and sat beside her, "Flame-brain really deserved that."


"Gray, your clothes."


"Geez."


"Speaking of clothes," Erza snapped her fingers, "today, you'll help me buy new armor and clothes in other towns."


"Wait, why me?"


"It's payback for making me walk in the rain with my new shoes."


"Fine."


---


"Oh, look at this," Erza looked magnificently at a beautiful yellow dress.


"Yeah, there's a matching tux with it," Gray grinned, "I'm going to buy it."


"In that case, buy mine."


"And there goes my money," Gray said as he gave his money to the cashier.


"Mr. and Mrs. Fullbuster, thank you, come again."


"Oh, she isn't my wife," Gray pointed at Erza, "and we're friends."


"Oh, I'm so sorry," the cashier apologized quickly.


"It was weird of that lady to say that we were married," Erza said to Gray as they got out of the store, "But, at least, we have new clothes for a ball."


"Yeah, it sure was weird."


"Now, I will buy armor."


"Alright."


"To Heart Kreuz," Erza said.


"This is going to be weird."


---


"Erza-sama," the cashier said to Erza, "who is this? Is he your boyfriend?"


"No, this is Gray," Erza patted Gray's back as Gray slightly blushed.


"Yeah, I'm Gray."


"Well, welcome to Heart Kreuz, Gray-sama."


Little did they know that Juvia was still stalking them.


Ooh, that woman has the nerves to call Gray-sama hers?! And, Erza-san is LETTING HER HAVE HIM?! AND, ERZA-SAN IS ALSO LIKING HIM?! TOO MANY LOVE RIVALS AT ONCE! she thought.


Then, her phone rang. It was Lyon.


"Hey, did you hear something like Juvia's ringtone?" Erza asked Gray.


"Maybe, my hearing's off."


"Lyon-sama, hi," Juvia answered Lyon, still glancing at Gray.


"Juvia-chan, I'm here in Crocus today. Why don't we look for new clothes for you in Heart Kreuz?"


Bad news, Erza and Gray were at Heart Kreuz Crocus Branch.


"O-Oh, that would be..." Juvia glanced at Gray, "That would be nice. Let's also eat pasta afterwards."


"Well, I'll meet you here, just outside of Heart Kreuz."


Bad news again, Juvia was inside of Heart Kreuz.


"I'm already at Heart Kreuz."


"Oh, where are you?"


Juvia went out of her hiding place and waved at Lyon, "I'm right here."


"Well, let's go get you nice clothes."


"Thank you, Lyon-sama."


They both entered inside the store, and the assistant went to them.


"Welcome to Heart Kreuz, Juvia-sama, Lyon-sama."


Now, a love rival for Lyon-sama?! WHAT IS IT WITH JUVIA AND LOVE RIVALS?! Juvia thought.


"Juvia, Lyon, I didn't know you were here."


It was Gray.


"I won her heart," Lyon smirked.


Again, Gray had to pretend to dislike Juvia, so it would be likely, "I... I never wanted it."


"Oh, Lyon-sama, look at this dress!" Juvia spotted a blue sundress.


"It would fit you perfectly, Juvia-chan! Why don't you try it on?"


Gray stared at them from a distance. At the same time, Erza was staring at him.


Erza sighed, "Geez."


"Erza-sama, you like Gray-sama?" the cashier asked her.


"Oh, no."


"Is that so? Well, maybe tell him to come back."


Great. Her favorite cashier is her love rival.


"I will."


Erza went to Gray, scaring him a bit, "I'm going back to the guild. Perhaps, you should spend time with Lyon and Juvia."


She began to leave, but Gray grabbed her arm and pulled her back.


"Hey, this is our bonding time," Gray smiled at her, "I won't let them interfere with the special Gray-Erza time. After all, we're comrades, aren't we?"


"Alright. Now, let's eat cake."


"I'm going with pasta."


NOOOOO, GRAY-SAMA! DON'T GO WITH ERZA-SAN! Juvia thought as she watched Gray and Erza leave the store.


"Juvia-chan, here you go," Lyon handed her the bag with Juvia's clothes.


"Oh, I was going to pay."


"Well, today is your lucky day."


"Arigato, Lyon-sama!" Juvia smiled at him and pecked him on the cheek, "Let's eat pasta in the nearby restaurant! Juvia is happy!"


"A-Alright..."


I just wish you loved me back, Lyon thought.

"Erza, describe the cake," Gray said, "Use big words. We'll have a word match."


"It's fine."


"Royal."


"Fancy."


"Magnificent."


"Grand."


"Breathtaking."


"Amazing."


"Alright. I got none," Gray crossed his arms, "You're good with words."


"And so are you," Erza said before eating the cake again, "I didn't know someone like you liked things like that."


"Like this, like that, I like everything."


"Except for Natsu."


"Yeah, of course."


They talked and talked and talked until Lyon and Juvia came.


"Oh, Gray, Erza, can we sit with you?" Lyon asked.


"Sure," Erza nodded.


Great, this will be one heck of a snack time, Gray thought.


Soon, their food came and they began eating.


"This is great," Lyon said.


"Yeah, and you're paying for it," Gray smirked.


"Everything?"


"Yup."


"Now, this is just splendid," Lyon replied sarcastically.


"Ha, splendid!" Gray yelled at Erza, "The cake is splendid!"


"Jaw-dropping."


"Damn."


Soon, Gray, from the corner of his eye, saw Juvia still staring at him.


"Erza, do me a favor," Gray said.


"What is it?"


"Be my girlfriend."
