Chapter 1

It was already late at night, but Lucy can't seem to make herself fall asleep. She kept on asking, "Oh no, what did I bring myself into?" And the reason for her rather "uneasiness": her conversation with Gray Fullbuster earlier.

FLASHBACK

"At last, I'm finally home. Now time to rest!" Lucy said happily while opening the door of her apartment.

"But first, I gotta take a hot shower, and KYAAA-! Gray what are you doing here?! Didn't I tell you not to barge in my room?! Oh and since you're here… I bet Natsu and Erza's here too. Hnn, you guys really never fail to give me a headache! Come out now Erza, Natsu!" Lucy said while clenching her fist.

"Relax Lucy, they're not here. Only I came here."

"Eh? Why?"

The rather comfortable Gray, who was actually lying on the blonde's bed, sat upright and began to talk in a serious tone. "I came here alone because I have a favour to ask. Please hear me out."

"Eh? It's very unlikely of you to ask me a favour. But if that is about money, I tell you, even I don't have some and—"

"It's not about money. Lucy please, I am serious."

Who said I was kidding, Lucy thought. But seeing Gray in a worried-state like mood, she didn't bother to answer back; instead she just sat in front of Gray and listened to him.

After explaining the whole situation, Gray slowly asked, "S-so, how would you like to be my "girlfriend"?"

"EHHHHHHH?! Wh-what did you, wh-why, h-how is that—" Lucy said, blushing and at the same time in a state of shock on what Gray had actually ask her.

"Please Lucy, accept my offer. In return, I will pay for your rent for as long as we pretend."

"Wh-what, did you think money could buy me you—"

"No, I didn't mean it that way, I said that in order to show you that I am willing to give whatever you need just please, please accept my offer" Gray said while looking into Lucy's brown orbs.

"Actually, the reason why I don't want to accept it is because of the request itself. Not because I won't get something in return…" the blushing blonde replied.

"Please understand that I can't possibly ask this to anyone but you. I am not as close to the other chicks of Fairy Tail as much as I am with you and Erza. But knowing her, Erza might just beat the crap out of me if I ask her this. So please…"

"B-but Juvia will get even more furious at me, she might even set up death traps a-and…" she said while seemingly imagining the Water mage's wrath.

"I don't think she'd hurt you in any way though, I mean, after all, she's a nakama. Please Lucy, help me! She always stalks me everywhere I go! At first it was okay for me though, but as time passes by, she's getting more attached to me, I guess? Believe it or not, even I can't actually go to the bathroom easily because she might be somewhere there a-and—" Gray, who is terribly frightened by his own story, said.

"But that's the reason why I reject your request, you know, it'll be a big problem for us if we do that! I mean, how are we supposed to act in front of everybody? You know that I haven't had any boyfriends before a-and—" Lucy, who by now is blushing even more, said while avoiding any contact with his eyes.

"O-okay then… I won't force you if you don't want to…" Gray said while he stood up, facing the floor. "I guess I'll go now. Bye lu—"

"Wait! Okay! Okay! I'll do it!" Lucy shouted while stopping Gray from leaving.

"Really? Thanks Lucy! I know I can count on you!"

"Yeah yeah, just think of it as a "thank you" present since you've done many things for me." Lucy said, shaking off her hand, still blushing.

"Okay then, what would you want in return?"

"Nothing. It's a present, like I said, so I expect nothing in return. Ju-just remember that we'll stop this immediately as soon as Juvia doesn't like you anymore, okay?! I wonder how long that would take though…" Lucy sighed.

"Yes! Yes! Thanks again! I'll be going now. See you tomorrow, new girlfrie—" Gray smirked

"KYAAAAAA-"

End of flashback

I just agreed to play as Gray's girlfriend until Juvia stops bugging him. But there's nothing wrong with that right? I mean, it's just pretending and I'm doing this for a friend. But Juvia might strangle me to death! And the other guild members will surely tease us even if I tell them the truth! I wonder what Natsu and Erza would say… Hnn. I am so nervous, I mean, this is the first time that I'll be someone's girlfriend, even if it's just pretend. Oh no, Lucy Heartfilia you sure messed up big time. Lucy thought to herself.

To be continued…

A/N: So how was the first chapter? Is it too short? I'm sorry if you see mistakes!

What do you think will happen next? Will their plan be a success? How do you think they'll act the next day? How do you think Juvia and the others will react? Tehee~ please feel free to review, suggest, etc! \(◦'')/
