Have a good read!


"And they're so annoying!" Gray huffed, crossing his arms over his chest, anger evident in his cobalt eyes.

His salmon haired companion chuckled; shaking his head at the latter's childishness.

Gray glared at Natsu, halting in his track. "And may I please know, Mr. Dragneel, why the fuck are you finding this so goddamn funny?"

Natsu bit his tongue, internally running through a series of repeatedly used excuses.

"I, uh, I was thinking about Lyon… yeah! I was thinking about the morning practice! Lyon was so goddamn idiotic-

"And you think it's appropriate to think about my brother while I'm talking?" Gray gritted out, raven bangs shielding a pair of angered blue eyes.

Uh oh!

Natsu sensed the danger, but to his utter dismay, his senses always decided to go on a temporary strike when needed. So, as a result, the senior was left stuttering in front of his boyfriend.

Gray looked at him, eyes narrowed sharply and lips turned down into a scowl. Then, the expression Natsu dreaded the most covered Gray's pretty face. You see, when our dear raven haired teenager was sure he had decided something awful, and he was sure he was gonna do it just for the heck of it, his lips usually turned into a cocky smirk.

Natsu kind of found the look hot, but this wasn't the time to think about that. So, back to the story, the football player tried to utter some words, but as said before, strike of senses betrayed him.

Gray looked at Natsu with a smirk placed and eyes narrowed, and with a chill-running voice, he said, "You know what? I think it'd be better if you go out with my brother instead of me. I'm done with you!"

And with that, Gray left.

Natsu stood there, gaping like a fish and still trying to understand what happened.

And to say that, it was kind of funny, as the whole situation started with ducks. Yeah, ducks who were annoying in Gray's opinion and funny in Natsu's.


Everyone in Magnolia High knew one thing for sure- no one dared to mess with Natsu Dragneel, the Football team captain, the swim team winner and one of the smartest guys of the school. Oh, and the thing that he was the most popular guy in the school, with guys and girls chasing him all the time.

Everyone in Magnolia High also knew that one guy had done everything possible to stir Natsu's thoughts and challenge him. Effortlessly.

And if it was said 3 months ago that the most arrogant guy of the school was pouting and chasing a transfer student, girls would have probably cackled, guys would have punched each other in fun while laughing like maniacs while his buddies would have snickered and said, "Real wild imagination, dude."

Gray Fullbuster, age seventeen, a transfer senior student, had only been in the school for 3 months. And in those 3 months, he had quiet made a reputation.

Standing at 5''11, with a very light tan and mesmerizing cobalt eyes, he was one of those 'pretty boys' who were always the attention catchers.

However, their first meeting was not one of the best ones.


It all started on the first day of the new session, when all of the students were gushing out excitedly about how their vacations were.

Natsu Dragneel entered his classroom, catching the attention of other students.

He was one of the 'brains and browns'. With unusual salmon locks, which were taking a tinting of red because of the temperature, and expressive eyes, he was quite hot. Oh, not to forget to mention, his really very muscular and toned tall body, reaching at an impressive height of 6''2.

"Natsu! Wanna sit with me?" A blonde girl waved seductively, leaning forward, just to show a slight amount of her cleavage. Natsu grinned. He was used to such tricks. But today, he wanted to make up with his long-time frenemy, Lyon Bastia.

"Yo, Natsu! Get your ass here!" Someone shouted, catching the captain's attention. He turned and grinned at his best friend, Loke Celestica.

"Sorry Luce, got to discuss about the next match." Natsu winked at the blonde and moved to sit beside the green eyed blonde basket-ball player.

He noticed Lyon beside Loke, silver bangs covering one black eye and the rest spiked back to show his tanned forehead. Lyon was in the football team with him. He was also one of the popular jocks, with his tall 6''1 body and tanned skin. Although Lyon did look a bit nervous at the present.

"Oi! What's gotten into you?" Natsu asked, waving his hand in front of the silver-haired teen.

The latter groaned, slamming his forehead against the table. Fortunately, the blonde put his pale hand on the desk, so Lyon's forehead wasn't harmed.

"Thanks." Lyon mumbled.

"I understand." Loke replied. Natsu rolled his eyes. It was so obvious that Loke was crushing after Lyon.

"What's the matter, anyways?" Jellal asked, who was sitting behind them, his arm wrapped around Erza's body.

They were the golden couple. They both were smart and had good looks. Jellal was in the swim team while Erza was a member student council.

Lyon lifted his head up and muttered, "He's coming. I don't know how I'm gonna react. He won't be the same anymore. Aunt Ur had told me he is taller than last time –well, of course, the last time we met was when we were 9 and he moved after that. I mean, he isn't the same scrawny pale-skinned boy with blue eyes and black hairs like before. He's seventeen, obviously hotter."

Lyon ended up groaning again.

"When is he coming?" Erza asked, a mischievous glint shining in her eyes.

"Today, he'll be in our class." Lyon replied.

"Who?" Natsu asked finally, finding the conversation fly over his head.

"My cousin! Gray!" Lyon said, on the verge of slamming him.

Jellal snickered, "Don't call him that. Doesn't suit you calling him your cousin. After all, you're filled with incest-fantasies about him."

Lyon glared and the swimmer shut with a few last snickers.

Natsu pouted, feeling left out. Erza noticed it and initiated explaining, "Before you moved here, Lyon's cousin, Gray Fullbuster, was with us. He left, though. He was a scrawny kid with pale complexion , the apple of everyone's eye with his adorable-ness and charm. Oh yeah, he used to call him 'Nii-sama'."

"Whoosh. So, as far as I can conclude, Lyon's got hots for his cousin?" Natsu raised a salmon brow.

The rest of them nodded.

A new student entered then, his books in his hands, held securely. His white shirt and red jacket matched with his red sport shoes and dark blue ripped jeans. He had a really tiny amount of tan present.

The new raven haired student looked around; ignoring the slutty gazes a few girls tried to catch his attention with, and stopped once his eyes landed on Lyon. His whole face lit up, a wide grin spreading across his features.

He made his way towards them, stopping in front of Natsu, and spoke, "Could you please move somewhere else? I want to sit here."

Natsu looked up and returned a neutral gaze, and casually refused, "Nah, I wanna sit with my buddies."

The latter looked noticeably annoyed, and gritted out, "Listen, that guy ov-

"Natsu, that's Gray." Jellal whispered, resulting in the teen's eyes to widen.

"Oh? So this is the scrawny pale-skinned blue eyed and black haired kid you guys were talking about?" Natsu blurted out, not noticing how the temperature suddenly dropped comically.

"Uh…"

"Na…"

"We don't…."

Natsu searched everyone's faces curiously, wondering why his buddies were suddenly pale.

A glance in Gray's direction answered his question. The teen's lips were curled into a smirk –an evil smirk, according to the football player- and through the thick raven bangs, he could see the anger glinting in his cobalt eyes.

"Mind repeating yourself, Sir?" Gray asked through gritted teeth.

Natsu opened his mouth to repeat the words. But halted when the sudden silence came into his notice. He stood up and looked around, not finding any words to utter when he noticed everyone looking into their direction.

At least Lyon's glare was a bit different than the rest of his classmates' curious gaze.

Natsu looked at Erza and mouthed a 'what'.

She answered back with her glare.

He glared back, insisting the redhead to explain. A light tap on his shoulder interrupted him, and he turned back to look at the slightly shorter boy.

"Listen, I don't know what's wrong, but that's what Lyon was saying-

"Lyon, then?" Gray smiled, and turned to face the still sitting senior. The latter gulped and stood up, stuttering, "I can explain-

"There isn't any requirement to provide an explanation, and remember, I won't need to explain why I'm so not gonna talk to you again, Nee-Sama." With those being his final words, Gray stepped aside and walked to the back, slumping down gracefully on the last bench with some blue-haired girl.

The bell rang then and Natsu swore he could feel holes burning his side by Lyon.


Gray walked down the corridor, huffing and glaring at everyone.

"Seriously?" He muttered to himself, "How the fuck could he break his goddamned promise I reminded his especially when we chatted on Facebook?!"

So many difficulties he had to go through to change himself! He had to work out for so long, participate in sports and swimming –he hated sports with a passion, and break his shell! Why? Only because he wanted to nobody except his old friends to realize that he actually was that scrawny kid! And with a bucket of stupidity, those idiots splashed water on his secret and all the students present in the class heard that! And obviously, high schools were the best manufacturing companies to produce rumors. Gray knew that by the end of the day, everyone would be chatting about how somehow the aliens abducted him and gave him a personality change!

"Hey, wait up!" Someone shouted. Gray wondered if that was directed at him and turned to glare at whoever had oh so pleasantly decided to halt his train of inner ramblings.

His glare intensified when he noticed the tall salmon haired senior jogging up to him. Vaguely, he wondered how his voice could be so strong that even from the end of the corridor, he could hear him.

Natsu stopped in front of him and started without wasting a second, "Listen, I'm really sorry, 'kay? I didn't know you were trying to cover up your earlier weak appearance."

Gray looked up at the latter with disbelief in his eyes and jaw hung, and in a seething tone, he said, "And what exactly, do you mean by that?"

Before Natsu could continue, though, a short girl approached the duo and tapped Gray lightly on the shoulder. The raven turned around to look at the grinning blue haired girl.

"Oh hey, Wendy, right?" Gray asked with a bright smile. The girl nodded, looking up at both of them. She was probably 5''3. Yup, he understood the pain of being short; he had gone through it all.

"Um, hello Gray and N-Natsu Sama!" The girl squeaked nervously by the end. Natsu returned a small disinterested smile. Gray raised a curious brow at the sudden pink dusting on the girl's cheek.

"I, uh, was wondering if you wanted, you know, like, sit with us?" Wendy asked cautiously. Gray grinned, "Sure, who all are there?"

He obviously asked that out of politeness, it was highly unlikely that he would recognize any of the other students, anyway.

Wendy started to reply, but Natsu beat to it, "Wait, Lyon and the rest are waiting for you! You'll have to sit with us!"

Gray glared at him for interrupting. Wendy's eyes widened in fear and she gushed out immediately, "You can sit with them! I really did not mean to come in between, I'm so sorry!"

She ran away.

Gray sweat dropped. What was this? A high school cliché with a bit of manga in it?

Apparently, it looked like that.

He directed his glare at Natsu, clenching his fists.

"You scared her, idiot!" Gray spat.

"I did?"

"Obviously." Gray crossed his arms over his chest.

The latter sighed and ran a hand through his hair, and said, "Look, I'm sorry, 'kay?I apologized, isn't that enough? I don't know much about you, but trust me, I do not want to face Lyon and Erza's wrath combined, alright? It looks like you're important to them."

Gray looked away, "So what if I'm important to them? If they hadn't been passing on about my earlier appearance, maybe I could have made a better first impression."

Unknown to him, he already had made an impressive impression by snapping at the most popular guy of the school.

"It really doesn't matter! And if you don't start moving now, I'll have to carry you." Natsu warned.

Gray rolled his eyes, "As if."

The next moment, he was slamming his fists on Natsu's back, screaming, "Let go! You bastard!"

When they reached the cafeteria, everyone's gazes were directed on them.

Gray heard a girl fawning, "God, he's like, so, like, lucky! I so want to be, like, at his place!"

And he so wanted to puke right now.

He looked around, glaring at the gang who was situated in the middle of the cafeteria.

Lyon waved nervously.

Gray's glare intensified.

"Oh, there they are!" Natsu pointed at the gang and started walking towards them.

When he reached there, Gray was slumped on the table top.

He glared, "There wasn't a need to drop me here! I very well can stand!"

Natsu shrugged.

"And I thought only ducks could anger me this much..." Gray muttered, glancing at everyone's face. His blue eyes landed on Natsu, who was already eating lunch, prepared by his current girlfriend Lisanna, who sat on his lap.

"Oh forget it, he's way more annoying than ducks..."

And it was just the first day. Who knew what would happen in one whole year? Maybe Ducks wouldn't looks as bad as Natsu, or maybe, Natsu wouldn't look at bad as right.

After all, it isn't always love at first sight.


A/N: Mwuhahahahha! Anyways, I actually do find ducks annoying. And squirrels. And chickens. But that aside, what are your opinions about this fic? Should I continue? That solely depends on your reviews, guys. Hopefully, it wasn't as boring.

I actually love the typical Jock/Nerd thingy, but it was getting old. But Love/Hate relations are so interesting that I just couldn't help but try writing one with these boys.

So, review, babies.
