No Rest for The Wicked

Chapter 1: Ain't No Rest for the Wicked

He waited until the footsteps receded down the hall until silence before reaching out a tentative hand to lock the door. Sighing, the young man took painful steps towards the old, soiled bed, flopping unceremoniously on the thing with a loud creak. His hand aimlessly began to stroke the soft pillow, occasionally pinching the material between his fingers before stroking again. It really was a nice down, and he would have kept it, had it not been dirtied so. Dark sapphire eyes gazed up at the digital clock, matching the glowing red numbers with the crisp dollar bills in his other hand.

$210 for three hours. He worked hard for his money.

Gray sat up and strolled to the shower in the tiny bathroom. It was pretty shaddy, considering the quality of the hotel, but anything would do as long as it offered clean water and soap. Once finished, he shook his raven hair dry. It was getting rather long, and he had considered cutting it, but it did suit him quite well, and it looked good. Humming lightly to himself, Gray pulled on a pair of loose black jeans and a black long-sleeved shirt. Grabbing his rather thin wallet, he hopped into his shoes and walked through the door, taking the back exit.

Once out back, Gray closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the night air. The street was dimly lit and the air was cold, setting a gloomy, if not even stygian atmosphere. He made a turn for the parking lot on instinct, swinging his left foot to step foward, only to pause in mid air. The raven sighed and ran a hand through his hair before lowering his foot. He had only lost his car last month, and still had yet to get used to it. The reposession had been quite comical, actually. The TV shows always showed these huge, ugly guys, storming up to ramshackle houses and getting into all-out brawls with more ugly people, sometimes even getting serious. The same ugly men came to Gray's apartment and opened the door, cracking their knuckles. Gray handed over the keys and went back to bed.

Now, he swore under his breath, leaving a soft mist in the air. Pulling his arms around himself and shivering, Gray began walking slowly. Bored, he sang softly, "I lost my mind~ dang ni zou jin wo shi xian~ jiu zai ni zhou wei ge shi jien get in slow mo-"

"Why is it always that one?"

Gray choked on his words, jumping and spinning around, body set in attack position.

"Oi, no need to be like that..."

Gray mentally facepalmed. He glared at the intruder. He was taller than Gray by a few inches, with wild hair, a baggy coat and a thick, checkered scarf blowing slightly in the wind.

"God dammit Natsu! What are you doing here?" Gray didn't quite know why he asked, for he already knew the answer.

"I just wanted to give you a ride," the pink-haired man asked, raising his hands in a submissive gesture, "you di- you don't have a car, you know..."

"Really now?" the raven widened his eyes in mock suprise, "you are by far the most intelligent man I have ever encountered, Mr. Dragoneel, now open the fucking car, I'm cold" he spat while yanking the door handle.

Natsu chuckled and unlocked his car. Starting it up, he glanced in Gray's direction, frowning slightly. He ran his hand through unruly salmon tresses and stepped on the gas. He wouldn't bring anything up, he knew better.

Meanwhile, Gray placed his forehead against the cold window, staring aimlessly at the blurred buildings. He pouted. He really disliked it, how Natsu would pick him up like this. He knew the other man hated his "work" with every fiber of his being. Of course the raven himself disagreed, his job may not be very dignified, but he worked for his money. And there was no way in hell that he'd ever sink as low as depending on others for a living. He just hated Natsu. Natsu and his stupid caring.

Gray closed his eyes. There really ain't no rest for the wicked.

Well, that was short. Don't worry though, chapters will get longer and the plot will develop~

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGH!^^ I wanna know!

EXO M for the win! I 3 Chen~
