A/N: This takes place a bit before chapter 105. You can see in Lucy's mini flashback that Grey was teamed up with Juvia by the guild master to get her situated and all that, and this is before Lucy went on a solo job hunt.
Disclaimer: Fanfiction. I own nothing related to Fairy Tail 'cept for fanfic plots and various (bad) fanart.
It was a few days after Lucy and the others had returned from the whole 'Tower of Heaven' fiasco, and after relaxing for a bit there was nothing to do but explore the new guild and ignore the oncoming due of her rent. And recount her exciting adventure to a (kind of) captive audience, of course.
"…And after I saw the fake bodies, Juvia appeared! After Simon used his magic to cover everything in complete darkness, she engulfed Grey and-"
"Wait wait wait," Cana interrupted loudly with not-quite suppressed mirth "so you're telling us that Grey was technically inside Juvia?"
"Cana!" Lucy hissed, looking around in embarrassment. God, she could feel all the stares! "It's not like that at all! Juvia's made out of water, so when she-"
"Yeah yeah. Wait'll everyone hear this! Our little Grey is finally growing up!"
"YOU'RE NOT LISTENING! Geez, you're lucky both Juvia and Grey went on a mission this morning!"
"Oho, more alone time for the young couple?"
"Why don't we all just calm down?" Mirajane interjected with a placating smile. "I'd love to hear what happens next."
"So, while Juvia and Grey escaped, what happened to Natsu?" Prompted Levi, attempting to suppress the snicker born from their group's little revelation. It wouldn't do any good to get Lucy even more worked up.
Trying to wipe that little tangent from her mind Lucy continued the story, momentarily forgetting that anything overheard was fair game for the Fairy Tail Rumor Mill.
"Well, it turns out there was this…"
It was 9:00 in the evening and he was finally done with the damn mission. After walking a slightly flustered and blushing Juvia to Fairy Hills (just 'cause she's powerful doesn't make it right to ignore the universal rule of not letting a girl walk home at night), he headed straight to the guild. Grey really needed a drink after that mission. Sure it went well and was pretty easy, and teaming up with Juvia was waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than going with Natsu (he actually kinda enjoyed it a bit), but he was never going to look at a horse the same way again. Ever.
Strangely enough, he received several slaps on the back and random cheery 'congrats' from the male population, most of whom he didn't recognize, but he was too mentally exhausted to question it. The guild was a pretty weird place after all.
While on his second mug (thank god that fire-eating idiot wasn't here or he'd have never been able to finish that much), Random-Guy-He-Didn't-Know number 57 slid into the chair next to him, smirking. "Y'know, I heard some pre-tty interesting stuff about you and a certain water mage of ours…"
"Hn? Like what?" Grey replied somewhat apathetically, preparing to gulp the remains of his drink down. He was completely clueless to the bombshell about to be dropped.
Random Guy gleefully recited what he had heard just a few minutes ago at the other side of the guild. Grey promptly sprayed his beer all over the bar counter, blushing, stuttering, and absolutely flabbergasted. "W-WHAT!"
LAWL PARENTHESES ABUSE
I always figured since Lucy was an aspiring writer, she'd share the stories of her adventures with the other guild girls to improve her narrative! That makes sense, right? XP
Also, for the weird equine mission Grey went on? Use your imagination! (AKA, I couldn't think of anything. SHUSH YOU)
Man I wish I could've added more Grey/Juvia in this... CURSE ME AND MY INABILITY TO WRITE!
The last part is awkward and rushed and bleh! Help me fix it by reviewing? Please? D:
