Back For You

*GRAY'S P.O.V*

"What?" She smiled.

"Lucy?"

Is it really her? I'm not imagining things right?

I rubbed my eyes several times just to make sure that she is real. I've been having hallucinations of her ever since she passed away.

"Gray, what're you doing?" The female giggled again, "It's really me okay?" She sweetly smiled.

"L-Lucy.."

Tears flowed down from my eyes, I started crying. I suddenly ran towards and hugged her. That's when I started to cry harder.

"Didn't you know that I've missed you so much..? Please don't disappear ever again.."

She patted my head, "I won't disappear again, Gray. I'm not going to leave you."

"Jeez, Lucy! You really made Gray cry there!" Natsu added while there are tears in his eyes as well.

"N-Natsu..! You're c-crying too y'know!" The blue exceed yelled, crying.

"Look w-who's talking!!"

It seems that everyone missed Lucy. Everyone cried in joy when she came back. I really missed her. Words can't express the happiness I'm feeling right now. This REALLY is real right? No joke?

"Lucy, how'd you came back?" - Cana

"Yeah Lucy." - Levy

"I don't know myself. All I remember that I was in an empty area. The surroundings were all white. Then I lost consciousness, the next thing I remember is that I woke up somewhere." Lucy explained while scratching her head.

"I wonder how that happened." - Cana

Lucy raised both of her shoulders. Everyone was curious, how is that even possible?

Then I barged into the conversation, "Anyways, the important thing is that Lucy is back now, right guys?"

They nodded and smiled.

Then Lisanna hit me with her elbow on my arm lightly and winked, "You really did miss her didn't you?"

"O-Of course I did!" I think I just blushed. I feel my face getting red. What do you call a state being like this? Getting tsundere-ish? Or something.

"Eeyyyy, Gray's blushing~!" - Natsu

"N-No I'm not!"

"YEAH YOU ARE!" Shouted from everybody in the guild.

"Eh-"

Then they laughed. Just what the hell guys.

"Lucy, would you like to go outside?" I asked her.

"Sure!"

Suddenly, every mage from the guild started pushing us towards the exit.

"Have fun you two!" Then they slammed the door, laughing.

"That was weird." We both said.

We looked at each other and laughed.

"So let's go!" I held her hand and started running.

"Wait up!"

****

We ended up going to the ice cream shop.

"Want some ice cream Lucy?"

"Yes please!"

"Oh! If it isn't Lucy Heartfilia! Where have you been all this time? You were gone for a long time y'know?" - vendor

Oh right. Every citizen in Magnolia were falsely informed that Lucy went somewhere so they won't cause a bit of a ruckus.

"W-Well, I just went on a trip you know? Hahaha!" She fakely laughed.

"I see! Do you have any souvenirs?"

"Oh. I guess I forgot to buy some."

"That's too bad. Here, have a free ice cream with your boyfriend!"

"Eh? Are you sure it's alright mister?"

"Yeap!"

"Wow! Thanks old man!" I said happily. We rarely get free ice creams around here.

Lucy licked her ice cream, "It's delicious!"

"Glad you liked it!"

"C'mon Gray! Let's go to the park now!"

"Okay okay!"

We held hands and started walking to the South Gate Park. Her hand is warm.. I won't let someone harm you again. I promise you.

"Good, the plan is going well.." someone whispered from the distance.

While eating my ice cream, I heard someone whispered. Plan? I turned around and searched my surroundings, there's no one in the area at the moment. So I decided to ask Lucy if she heard someone.

"Lucy, did you hear something? Like a whisper and such?"

She shook her head, "No, I didn't. Is something bothering you Gray?"

"Th-There's none. Well, nevermind. Let's just continue eating our ice cream." I fakely smiled at her.

I swore I heard someone. Oh well, must be imagining things.

To be continued.
