Date

He grimaces as he looks in the mirror, tugging uncomfortablely at the bow tie wrapped around his neck. He just doesn't know about this, it seems awfully...awfully...not right. Sure he's worn a bow tie, but that was for a job.

"Erza, I think this is a bad idea." He states, looking up from his neck to catch the eye of the Titania of Fairy Tail standing behind him. Her eyes flash and he regrets telling her that.

"Gray," She states as she walks over to him, clamping her overly strong hand on his shoulder, crushing it. "You must look nice for your date with Juvia." At that Gray grimaced even more and wish he could-like the water mage- melt into a puddle and ooze away or something. This 'date' had not been his idea at all. Rather he had been against the whole thing. But Lucy had mentioned something about Juvia being really nice and blah blah and then Erza had threaten to hurt him if he didn't. And well, when Erza tells you to do something, you listen. He barely notices when Erza's hand loosens, her armor chinging against each other as she turns. He has turned his focus back on the bow tie, determined to blame it for his current situation.

Gray" Erza murmers trying to get the ice mage's attention. He pointedly decides to ignore her, maybe if he does she will go away and this 'date' will never happen. Of course this is Erza and she isn't one who takes to be ignored. So instead of going away, she rather roughly jabs her elbow into his side. He turns to see Juvia standing in the doorway, a blush covering her cheeks. Her pink dress clings nicely to her breasts and he can't help remembering when he first met and fought her. He too begins blushing when he remembers how he accidently groped her.

"I'll just leave you two lovebirds alone then." Erza smacks him rather hard on the back before slinking out the door. Both mages stand awkwardly for a moment before Juvia suddenly strides forward, arms reaching up to Gray's neck. Silently she undoes his bowtie, keeping her eyes trained down at the ground, blush deepening.

"Gray-sama looks silly with this thing on." She explains as she takes a step back. Gray smiles and thinks that maybe this date won't be so bad afterall.
