Hello Kiwi's! 'Hide and Seek' isn't on hiatus or anything, if you read it, it's just delayed for this week due to school and writers block (which happens a lot in the beginning of stories that I write).
So I decided to write a RoWen AU One-shot as an apology!
If this ends up being really long and good, and the summary says it's no longer a one-shot, than yeah, I'll continue it as a story.
Another thing before you read, if you go to my profile page, there's a poll on what I should write next, so you guys don't have to keep waiting on one or two stories.
First attempt One-Shot right here so... :D

Brothers are the worst... My brother, Natsu always pulling pranks on me! Today, he decided to to put a ghost pepper in my BLT!
The hell is he trying to do? Murder me?
I don't like swearing... But he's a pain in the ass! All I can ever think about is how to prank him back... but, being in eighth grade without a job or allowance, can make it hard to buy stuff to wrig his room with.
Oh well, back to Instagram. I looked down at my blue phone that matched my hair and eyes.
"Forty-seven notifications." I mumbled.
I had a pretty good account, 3,476 followers, following 45, 500+ posts. Oh yeah! I'm like a super popular socialite for my age! I only follow friends and accounts that interest me. Most of the things I post are my own pictures and short videos.
I lay on my stomach, in my room on the bed. I kinda wanted to post a new picture, so I got up near my huge window, opened it and snapped a selfie of me and the stars. My caption: Beautiful night tonight? Yeah I think so.
And... post!
First like... second... seventh... tenth... thirtieth... Yup.
In a matter of one minute, I had almost 300 likes. Thank you, followers! I flopped back onto the bed while reading comments.
"You're so cute!"
"I think so, too!'
"Whaaah! I don't see it!"
"I would do that...jk jk jk"
"Do not read this or it will happen to you! A girl once tried to-"
Oh no... not reading chainmail comments... No, no, no... Bad luck, I say.
I rolled onto my back and turned off my phone. Enough for tonight, I need to go to school tomorrow, it's going to be Monday. And with that, I slowly slipped into dreamland.
XxXxXxXx
"Ughh... Noo... Nuuu! I said nuh uhh..." I yawned. Damnit, morning already... School... C'mon Wendy, move yourself out of bed!
I rolled off my bed and fell on the floor. Ouchy! Damn alarm clock was still going off, so I scrambled out of my blankets to hit the off button. Here we go... Morning rush...
I ran out of my room to the bathroom. My daily routine, long story short, was washing my face, using the toilet, washing my hands, and brushing my long hair and teeth.
Once I was done, I slipped into my grey uniform and headed downstairs for breakfast. Natsu had already eaten and was fiddling with his tie. "You're serious, right? You still can't figure out how to tie it?" I scoffed.
"Hey! Can you not be such a jerk..." He glared.
Stupid brother being the same age as me... At least... he's not on the streets... anymore.
[Flashback]
I was playing with my best friend Chelia. We were only 6 years old, so the two of us were playing tag around the playground. Soon after, we decided to let some of the other kids join us. It was later in the day, so not many people were hanging around.
The two of us managed to find two more players. One was a boy named Gray and the other was a girl named Erza. Gray had black hair and a weird... stripping habit!? Yup, he unconsciously took off his shirt... The girl was Erza, and she was a pretty redhead with a long braid. She was fun to play with, as well as Gray.
The four of us were having so much fun, until Chelia and Erza both had to leave. I was left with Gray, so we decided to walk around the park that the playground was located in.
With the sun beginning to set, it was like a scene out of a movie, the sky, two kids just talking and goofing around. But then-
"Wendy! Look...!" Gray sounded surprised. I looked to where he was pointing to. I gasped...
A boy, just about our age, was collapsed under a tall oak, between two hedges. He had pink hair and a skinny phisique. He looked terrible, like he hadn't eaten, bathed, or slept in days.
I ran, I ran to him. His clothes were dirty, he smelled bad, not a impressive sight at all. "Where are your parents? Are you okay? What happened? Hello? ... Gray! Help me carry him, please!" I pleaded.
My new friend obliged, joining me in hoisting him up, and bringing him to our parents.
[Flashback Ends]
I sighed, "Here, let me help you, Natsu."
XxXxXxX
"Wendy! Wendy! Play auditions are Friday!" It was a girl named Lisanna, cheery as ever. "Do you think I could make the part?"
I was a little annoyed, she was always fawning over Natsu. My poor brother having to deal with this girl all day. About to be in high school, and she acts like a baby whenever shes rejected.
"Sure... But I think Chelia might get the main role-" I was then interrupted by said person.
"Hey! Not me! It's definitely going to be Juvia!" she stated.
"Well, everyone is trying out for Juliet, who knows..." I continued.
Lisanna, apparently didn't like that response, since she just huffed and stormed away. Drama queen. She knows she can't always get what she wants. I would have thought that she figured it out after what Natsu said to her last year.
[Flash Back]
"Natsu, if you don't pass your History test, you could fail the subject!" I complained.
The hallways were busy, as always, papers flying around, and people crowded at the lockers. The two of us were walking to lunch, side-by-side.
"I got it! It's not like I'm useless or can't study! I only said I was gonna bomb the test because I'm... not... just a little... nervous, I guess." he mumbled that last part.
That was weird, he'd never admit to being nervous about anything. Something was fishy... Then, out of nowhere, Lisanna steps in front of us. She wore a frown on her face, she didn't look too happy, by the looks of it, she was pissed. She only looked at Natsu, which made me feel a little awkward. Her mouth finally opened, after moments of my own silent torture.
"Why didn't you answer me last night, Natsu!?" she pouted.
He was silent... The tension started to build when he yelled "Stop! I don't understand what you want from me! What you keep doing and saying isn't right!"
"I say it is!" She yelled back.
A crowd... I saw where this was going, but I didn't know why. "Well you know what, Lisanna? You can't always get your way! Whatever your motives are, I don't care! All you do is make yourself the center of attention!" he was loud... I got a little scared. What were they talking about... I'd probably never know.
I was too lost in my thoughts to hear what she had said next, but it struck a nerve in my brother. "Shut the hell up! You know nothing! If you really want to solve problems with death threats, then I'll tell your sister!"
She stopped and started to cry. I was horrified to find out why he brought death threats into the conversation. I took his hand and said "Let's go," as he followed.
I would have tried to get all the answers out of him if he weren't... Crying? He didn't cry? No, he barely cried unless something was really worth crying about. Seeing someone cry was the worst, and this was my brother! For God's sake, I swore I would never stop hating Lisanna. Deep down, I don't care, if you can make Natsu Dragneel cry then you are a terrible person.
[Flashback Ends]
I looked at my adopted brother, he was talking to some new kid... I didn't know his name, but he looked nice. I smiled, only to be turned around by Chelia and immediately question.
"New kid strike your fancy?" she asked.
That was unexpected... wait what?
"Uhh, I don't think so... I wasn't even looking at him!" I replied.
"Oh..." she frowned, "Were you thinking about that thing with Lisanna again?"
"Yeah... I'm still mad at her for making my brother cry..."
"Hmm... I don't wanna be all so sudden, but you guys aren't blood related? Right?"
I scowled, looking her in the eyes, "That doesn't matter, He's still family."
She flinched. "Sorry, I just don't understand how you guys can act like you really are blood related." was all she said.
"It's fine, Chelia. Just don't ask stuff like that, okay?" I walked over to my desk, alone.
I have friends, I have a brother, I have good grades... I have my belongings and a space to live. I'm fine.
I had... nothing... to cry... about...
Well... There was one.
XxXxXxXxX
So this might end up not being a one-shot. I decided that half way through... I'm thinking of making this like a mix of Japanese school and American school, just cause I live in America.
Hope you enjoyed, yes this was long to make up for the other story I'm writing. Expect long lengths and tons of mystery from this!
*Minor Spoiler Alert!*
Romeo is the new kid, no Wendy does not have 'feelings' for Natsu, and yes everyone is in eighth grade, as in they are all 13 or 14 years old.
Arigatou!
