—————————————————————————

Back in Fiore in the town of Magnolia, the people in the Fairytail guild have been trying to move forward since the loss of their guild member Lucy. A few people to be specific have had more trouble than some.

It's been a month in a half since Lucy died. The guild is still coping with the loss of their guild member. Nothing has been the same since then.

"Mira". A women with mint green hair and a cowgirl hat says. "Alzack and I are going on a mission. We'll be back by the evening. Auska is playing with Eisen so she's occupied for a bit".

"Okay, please be safe Bisca. I know your tough but..."

"Mira..." Bisca says.

"I'm sorry. It's just ever since that day they brought Natsu back, no one has been the same".

"I understand. I don't think I'll ever forget how those guys looked like when they walked through those doors that day".

"Yeah, I saw Gray a few days ago and he looked so worn out. He's been going on tons of quests with Juvia. He hasn't taken a break. I'm worried". Mira says.

"I think it's just his way of coping with the situation. After all, he was the one who brought her home". Bisca says looking at the door.

-somewhere in town-

A boy walks through town. His hands in his pockets. His head down. Tired and exhausted.

-Grays POV-

It's been a month. A whole month. It feels like it's been years yet at the same time it feels like it's been a day.

My mind keeps going back to that day. The day where I had to carry my best friend... my sister, home.

   **flashback**

I watched as Natsu passed out in Ezra's arms. The screams of pure pain. Honestly it was hard to watch.

I walked over to where the bodies of the deceased lay. One of the villagers guided me to where Lucy was.
Once I saw her, on the ground, covered in dirt and blood my legs gave out. I fell to my knees next to her.

"W-we put a s-spell on her so she wouldn't rot... eek!" I glared at the villager behind me. "Uhm so she w-w-wouldn't decompose b-before you guys g-got h-here..." they said before scurrying away leaving me.

Using my ice I cleaned off the dirt and blood on Lucy's body. I knew she would hate it if she had filth all over her.
I brushed the hair that was on her face, away. She was cold to the touch.

*" You're quite the smooth talker aren't you"* I recall her saying after the mission on "destroying" the moon or whatnot.
Flashes of memories we've had together go through my mind. *"Gray, helpppp it's so hottt I'm going to dieeee"* I smile. *" And once again, there goes my dignity"* I look down at her.
"You really did look great out there" I mumble.

*"grayyyy. Oh heyyy grayyyyy. Ya know wut. You have very fluffy hairrrr. Everybody! This man, has very fluffy hair!" She was so drunk that day. "Grayyy. I need to tell you sum!" She smirked while clinging onto me. "I wuv youuuu. Sooo much like I wouldn't be who I am without youuu. You're the best friend, hmmm no that's not right hmmm. Brother! You're the best brother one could ask for!!"* Her smile was so bright while saying it.
