『Alexithimia』- A Gruvia Fanfic

Chapter 4: Call

Gray's POV

The next day is Saturday, a day of rest for me at my own apartment. I decided to live by myself independently and my parents approved of it of course.

I just wanted to take it easy today to ease my mind because of Lockser. She's been bugging me all week. Ugh. If only she wasn't a girl, I would've beaten her up.

Natsu called me today.

He said that we should meet each other at the Town Mall. He said that he wants me to help him find the right clothes for his date with Lucy. And I thought that girls are the ones who does that.

I was about to say no but he said that he would buy me snow cones and because I'm a cheap person, I said yes. And I'm here right now, in front of the Town Mall. I was wearing a black hoodie and black jeans, paired up with my favorite shoes, my black Nike. I didn't want to wear something to show off or something.

I've been here for almost 30 minutes already and he's still not here. Did he trick me about it? This is what I get for always saying yes whenever they would buy me snow cones.

Why am I so cheap?

But I'm feeling uneasy about this.

"I wonder where's Lucy-"

My heart nearly stopped when I heard that familiar voice. With my forehead wrinkled, I turned to my right and I was right.

It was her and she was wearing a black shirt with a knife as its design on the center, black skinny jeans and a dark blue denim jacket. She was also wearing black ankle-size boots as her shoes and a black choker on her neck. Eh... At least she has style. I thought she was the type who wears gangster clothes.

She raised her eyebrow at me and asked, "Gray... Fullbuster?"

"It's Gray-sempai." I corrected and it was my turn to ask her. "And what are you doing here?? Are you following me?? Look, I know I am handsome but that is going too far-"

She snapped and glared at me. "Don't get cocky, exhibitionist guy. I'm here for a reason and I would never follow someone who's a pervert and an exhibitionist."

My veins popped out of my forehead and said, "I am not. Tsk. Stop calling me that, Ms. Blue." I finally thought of a name.

She raised her eyebrow again with confusion. "Ms. Blue? What? Why is that my nickname??"

"Well, it's the color you showed me."

Her face steamed up in frustration and anger. She raised her fist at me and said, "Shut up! See?! That confirms that you're a pervert!"

"Well, you're a pervert as well for showing it to me!" I replied back and rolled my eyes at her.

"Why do you keep on bringing that up?!" She asked and walked nearer to me. She was 3 inches away and she's still glaring. "Answer my question, you dolt."

I have no answer in mind. I just say things randomly sometimes.

Her face turned back to normal and suddenly leaned towards me, making me back away from her. With confusion, I asked, "W-What are you doing?"

She blinked her eyes twice and stared at my black orbs. "... Do you like me, Fullbuster?"
