"Just... explain to him that you're not gay?" Lucy suggested, "That you're sorry you slept with him, but you were drunk and would like him to leave you alone now? But, like, nicer than that. Because he's still heart-broken."

"I know, I know..." I sighed angrily, "I'll let him down gently."

"Good boy," Lucy said as she patted my head gently, "Now I have to go. I'm meeting Levy-Chan at the library in less than an hour. See ya." Lucy smiled and walked out of the guild. Er, walked out if the construction site that will soon be the guild.

"Nope," I answered, "I'm just gonna head home early today. Not really feelin' it."

"Alright," Mirajane answered in her usual kind tone, "Hopefully we'll see you tomorrow then."

I smiled back at her, then turned to leave. I walked home by myself. The whole way, I was trying to think of a way to let Gray down. Surely he wouldn't take it the wrong way. I mean, he has to understand that I'm just not interested...
