Gray and Wendy- two
"Romeo?" Wendy stopped behind Romeo who was talking to Max. "You called for me?" Romeo turned around, facing Wendy. He smiled with a small blush creeping amongst his cheeks.
"Oh, hey, Wendy!" He grinned. He looked around him, noticing there were ears all around, and knowing how Fairy Tail is, they were listening to every word. "Yea, but can we talk outside?" He said, grabbing her hand right when she nodded. He nodded along, quickly walking out the guild doors.
Wendy could feel almost everyone's eyes on them. She just knew they were watching the two. But, when she turned her head back, they, creepily, had turned the heads back and acted as if they were living on with their normal routines. She giggled lightly. When he two young teenagers got outside, Romeo quickly begun to talk.
"Wendy, I really really really like you. Your so nice, pretty, strong and-" He stopped, noticing Carla was there with them. And that made him very uncomfortable again. "Umm..." Wendy noticed this.
"Carla, can you please leave for just a bit?" Asked Wendy with innocence in her timid tone. "Just for a bit.." She added again. Carla stood there and thought. She wanted to hear what Romeo liked about the girl. Yet, she wouldn't be able to hear it if she stood there(quite the opposite,eh?) "Fine, child." Carla sighed. "Thanks, Carla." Carla left them, going back into the guild.
"Like I was saying; Wendy, your a beautiful girl! And your so smart, and nice, and caring, and strong! And-and- your awesome, too! I-I couldn't help but fall for a girl like you." Romeo bluntly said, cheeks still blazed red and body now shaking. Both in excitement and fear. "I...I...I wanted to know if you would like to be my girlfriend!" He yelped out, afraid of what she might say.
Wendy stood there, eyes wide and mouth gaped open. Her cheeks turned pink. She thought many thoughts and emotions would have drowned her hopelessly, but they didn't. She was able to think straight.
"I...I can't...I like someone else. I'm sorry, Romeo."
Now it was Romeos turn to have eyes wide and mouth gaped open. But he quickly straightened his physical self up and stared at Wendy. "Can I ask who it is?" He awkwardly asked. "You don't know him..." Wendy stuttered on her own words. What will he say if she said 'oh, he's older then me, but it's Gray!' She couldn't take the chances. "Ok." Romeo nodded, leaving her outside as he entered the Guild with a sudden rush.
Wendy sighed. She felt bad for the heart broken Romeo. She shook her head and let her legs take her away. She ended up finding herself in a small cafe, a little far from the Guild, but it was really worth the walk. Even though she didn't know how long it was, cause it felt like a second. She wasn't thinking when her legs began to walk away from the guild in stead of into the guild. She also found herself already seated In a booth for two. Even though no one was with her.
"Hello! Welcome to Happy Cafe! I'll be your waitress for this evening, you may call me, Jewels. What would like to drink?" The brunet waitress asked Wendy. Wendy looked down at her menu, that was still closed, and then up at the waitress. Jewels only smiled. "I...umm...would like an apple juice please." Wendy sweetly asked. Jewels smiled. "Is that all?" "Yes." The waitress nodded and left to get the young girls apple juice.
After about a half an hour of leaving the guild alone and ending up inside the cafe sitting on a booth, she spotted Gray and Juvia, along with Carla, inside the Cafe, too. She ducked down, trying to avoid getting yelled at by Carla for leaving with out telling her.
"Wendy, I can see you." She heard Gray say, almost cockily (and she had to admit but he sounded pretty damn sexy.) . She heard his heavy boots hitting the ground along with Juvia's lighter ones. "Wendy," he stared down at her sulking figure. And almost Instantly, Wendy heard Carla's screeching.
"I know..." Wendy sighed out, looking down at her lap in shame. "I'm sorry. I should've told you I was going to the Cafe. But it felt like I was being dragged here." Wendy honestly stated. "I'm sorry again, guys." She frowned. Gray sighed, along with Juvia.
"It's okay." Gray said. "At least we know your safe."
"Juvia is now happy again." Wendy didn't think her missing figure will have such an impact on the whole guild. Not even towards Juvia! She knew Fairy Tail was very caring for their nakama's, and were close like family. But, she never was cared for like a family. So, she didn't know that Fairy Tail would react in such a way to looking for her from yelling out her name;hoping she would appear from the darkness.
"Juvia, can you tell the rest that Wendy is safe and sound in Happy Cafe?" Gray asked Juvia, who already nodded with glee and ran out the cafe with hearts all around her saying 'anything for Gray-Sama!' Gray sat on the other side of Wendy, staring at her sulking figure. "Wendy, it's okay now, don't be so down." He said, still worried about her. She didn't respond back, but all she made was a whimpering sound.
"I denied Romeos love for me." Wendy whimpered out.
"I heard." Gray and Carla accidentally said at the same time. They shared a short glare at each other before looking back at Wendy. "It's okay, though. You don't need to apologize." Gray said, out stretching his arm to pat Wendy's head. "I understand if you don't like him." He smiled at her when she looked up at him.
"But-but!" Carla's sudden change of a mean, grumpy female girl cat changed dramatically when she held her head with her paws, mouth wide open and eyes wide In fear. "Who will Wendy end up with in the future!?" She gasped loudly, catching unwanted people's attention. "She can't possibly date the men in Fairy Tail! They're too old!" Carla screamed, heart pounding. "N-not saber tooth either! Sting and Rogue are brothers to her!" She didn't want her little girl to be single forever. She suddenly stopped screaming when an idea popped into her head. "Speed dating! Perfect!" She chirped, flying out the cafe shop with awkward stares from not only Wendy and Gray, but from other people, too.
"I've never seen Carla react in such a way before..." Wendy said, eyes still wide from shock and worry. She didn't want to be alone forever, either. She wanted that one special guy to sweep her off her feet and they Live happily ever after, just like a fairy tale. "I mean...there's so much people in this town!" She chuckled. "They don't have to be mages." She giggled just a bit, again. But she knew deep down, that even if they didn't have to be mages, she wouldn't except any of them. Her 'small' crush for Gray was always on her mind. She felt like she was betraying him in some way.
"Well, you, little girl," Gray stood up, paying for Wendy's apple juice. "Shouldn't even be thinking about going out with anybody. Not without my approval of course."
"And mine!"
"And mine."
"Same goes for me!"
"Yes."
"Yea, yea, yea, I have to meet the twerp first and beat his ass."
"Way to ruin it, guys." Gray glared at 5 male dragon slayers. "Sting, Rogue?" He said surprised by the fact they where there.
"We heard Wendy gone missing! We had to search for her!" Sting said, looking at Wendy before grinning at her. "Glad to hear your safe, Wens! And we just saw Carla having a major break down near the park...something about being single forever..." Sting and Natsu scratched their heads a bit; thinking, but shrugged it off.
"Yes. Wendy, you worried me." Rogue emotionally said, giving Wendy a small smile before looking down at Frosch who was down at his feet.
"I only came because I like this cafe." Laxus rolled his eyes. But he knew that he also came to just make sure no harm was done to Wendy. Wendy only chuckled at this, saying sorry for worrying them.
"Stop apologizing, Shrimp," Gajeel spoke up, towering over Wendy's now standing figure. She looked up at him as his shadow fell upon her. "That Romeo guy doesn't deserve you; so I understand why you ran away from a freak like him." Wendy chuckled weakly at Gajeels explanation on why she had suddenly disappeared on them.
"Man, Wendy!" Natsu grin, now standing beside Gajeel. "Ya even got Romeo falling head over heels for ya!" He teased, making the sky maiden blush. "You're a hooker! A natural!" It suddenly got quiet between the group. But, a loud painful slap, by 5 different hands, broke the silence. "Ow!" Natsu yelped, holding the back of his bulging head, a large bump now appearing.
"Idiot. Don't use a word you don't know the definition to." Rogues usual poker face was replaced by anger, glaring at Natsu.
"Baka." Sighed the two blond males. Gray rolled his eyes at Natsu.
"Flame- brain, think before you speak." Gray snickered at the sulking Natsu,who was getting physically and emotionally healed by Wendy's healing magic and her weak mumbling of "it's okay, I don't know what that means anyways, either." Or, "it's okay, Natsu-nii, don't worry!"
"Shuat up, Popsicle." Grumbled Natsu. After a bit, they all left, Wendy feeling much better then before. "Man, Lucy is gonna kill me! I told her I would help her move in her new couch!" Natsu yelped, noticing it was already dark. "Bye!" He suddenly zoomed away.
"Slow it down, Salamander!" Gajeel hissed, fixing his now messy hair. He might not have cared how his hair looked before, but he was going on a date tonight with Levy-he had to look good. Not that he was ugly even without his hair done(at least that's what he thought).
"We should be going back, too." The new sabertooth master said, smiling. "See ya guys later I guess. Bye,Wendy!" Sting grinned, feeling the warm hug from Wendy before he and Rogue left. Rogue also getting a hug from Wendy.
"Be safe!" Wendy chirped, waving goodbye to everyone who started to leave. "See yous!" She grinned. She stopped smiling when she heard Gray heavily breathing, as if he was an angry bull. She looked up at him, confused. "What's wrong, Gray?" She asked, noticing he was staring at something from afar.
He looked down at her and he quickly calmed down. And knowing that made Wendy extremely happy. Knowing that she could calm down her crush within a split second, even when he was as angry as bull. Tch, maybe she's a little naive.
"Eh? Why is your face like that?" Gray asked. Wendy was making this weird, day-dreamy face. Her eyes where lazy and dull, almost dark. And her cheeks where blazed red. And then her mouth was even slightly open with the corner reached up to her eat. "Ummm...you okay?" Wendy quickly woke up from her naiveness day dream.
"Oh! Nothing!" Wendy chuckled weakly, walking beside her best friend. "Let's just go!" She walked a little faster to the guild, hoping that he wouldn't ask what the face was about. But, she spoke too soon.
"Why where you making that face for?" Gray asked, almost having a hint of worrisome on the edge of his tone. "You can tell me anything, you know that right?" He grinned down at her, grabbing her and giving her a nuggie. She whined, telling him to stop.
"It hurts!" She whined even louder. He laughed, stopping and letting his arm rest on her head, as if she was a arm rester. "Meanie..." Wendy grumbled, walking into the guild. "And I was umm thinking about my cookies back at home." She quickly added before he could jump her for an answer to his question again. "Nothing big." She chuckled, seeing Juvia with a crying Carla. Wendy confusingly stared at the crying white exceed. "What in the world...?" Wendy pulled Gray towards them. But he quickly put both his arms to his side, completely acting as if his arm was never on her head.
"Why is she crying?" Asked Gray, staring at Juvia for a bit longer then Wendy wanted to him to. She quickly shook her head. She couldn't possibly be jealous that her friend stared at Juvia with pure lust! She knew he and her would be a couple. Or even that he will look at her petite body with lust, also.
"Juvia asked and Carla said she couldn't find a perfect speed dating place for Wendy. Why did Wendy back down Romeo anyways, may Juvia ask?" Juvia asked with innocence, her eyes searching for an answer on Wendy's face or in her eyes. Wendy nervously swallowed her formed saliva, trying to get a good lie from the bottom of her head. She couldn't possibly say she didn't like Romeo, that sounded to harsh. At least to her it did.
"It's obvious that she didn't like him more then a friend." Gray saved her. Wendy let out a long sigh of Relief that she didn't even know she was holding.
"Hmpf. Well, Wendy, let's start heading back home, come child." Carla suddenly got serious again, as if she was bi-polar or something. It surprised Wendy, but she didn't question it.
"You okay walking home alone tonight?" Gray asked the two girls. Carla nodded while Wendy mentally sulked, but still smiled and nodded, agreeing with Carla. "Okay. If you need anything just scream my name-I'm going to the movies with Juvia."
Wendy almost chocked on air! She earned a gasp from the three founder people around her, asking her if she was alright. "Y-yes," Wendy couldn't bare the thought of Juvia and Gray going on a date!
«Get ahold of your self, Wendy!» She thought, mentally slapping her self. «Gray is only a small crush! He would never be yours anyways...»
"Wendy!" Wendy quickly looked up at Gray, who worriedly stared down at her. "What happened?"
"Don't be so worked up," Wendy calmly said, straightening herself and smiling. "I only choked, just a bit, I'm fine! Well, have fun!" She then quickly left, waving goodbye to the rest of the Fairy Tail members that waved and yelled goodbye to her.
She walked silently on the sidewalk, listening to Carla's chattering. She tried to answer all of her questions, because she was partly paying mind to her. She was paying more mind her imagination then her exceed. She couldn't help but feel jealousy. She wanted to stay with Gray! She wanted to hang out with him. She wanted him all to herself. She couldn't even believe her own selfish thoughts. Gray didn't, wouldn't and couldn't, belong to her. He couldn't be hers.
She was thinking way too much.
"Wendy, you okay?" Wendy looked down at Carla who worriedly stared at her. "You look a little down." Carla frowned. Wendy only smiled, going up the flight of stairs to her floor. "It's because of Gray, isn't it?" Wendy stopped jiggling her keys in the key hole. "He's just on a date, he's never going to leave you, didn't he promise you that?" Carla asked, opening the door.
"I'm not worried about him!" Wendy quickly denied. "I'm just worried about Romeo." She frowned, knowing that she was lying to her closest friend. "Imma take shower." She said, walking to her dresser to take out her pajamas. She then walked into the bathroom, undressing after closing the door. She jumped into the hot, steamy water.
_Next Day At Guild._
"Hey Wendy!" Natsu yelled out from across the other side of the guild towards Wendy, who just walked into the guild with a smile like always. "Have you seen Gray?" Natsu asked as he ran up to her, looking for a fight with the Popsicle.
Wendy shook her head. "The last time I seen him was yesterday. Maybe he's on his way here." Wendy cheered Natsu up. Natsu nodded, saying bye to the girl and then running up to Lucy to just annoy her. "Let's go on a job, Carla!" Wendy chirped, going to the Job Request Board anyways.
"Sure, why not." Carla replied, calmly walking towards Wendy. "Why not this one?" She pointed up at one that was similar to her last Job with Team Natsu. But, this one was killing demon possessed dogs.
"Yea! That's perfect!" She grabbed the paper and ran to Mirajane, who was handing Juvia a glass of Water. "Mirajane," Wendy started when she walked passed her. "Mirajane..." The mage walked pass her again like she was a ghost. Wendy stared sadly at the beauty as she kept on taking orders and giving their orders to the mages. Wendy waited for her, but when it passed for about a good 8 minutes, Wendy gave up and yelled, "Mirajane!" That's when Mirajane stopped and so did the mages. "I would like to take this job." She handed the shocked Mirajane the request.
"Sorry, Wendy! I didn't hear you the first time you called." Wendy only smiled when she wanted to reply sarcastically to her. "Gray isn't coming with you?" She asked. "I think you should take someone else, Wendy."
"Why you say that?" Wendy asked innocently.
"Well," Mirajane started. "These are Demons, that possessed a few dogs, that could be very dangerous! You've already seen my Demon Take Over, hai?" She asked, yet already knowing the answer. Wendy nodded, now understanding where Mirajane was coming from. "Why not wait for Gray and ask him-I'm sure he'll agree to go along with you." Mirajane suggested to the young girl.
"I will." Wendy smiled, sitting at a table with Carla. Wendy let out a long sigh. "When is he ever coming?" Wendy mumbled. But a certain 'Medal Head' dragon slayer heard her. He pulled a chair, actually stole the chair Max was sitting on, and sat in front of Wendy. Wendy noticed him and smiled. "Hey, Gajeel-Nii!"
"Hey, shrimp." Was Gajeels way to saying hi to his dragon slayer sister. "What's wrong?" He asked, even though he didn't sound like he cared. Wendy shook her head, meaning nothing. But, Carla decided to tell Gajeel herself. "We're waiting for Gray." Carla said. Gajeel nodded but didn't understand why she would look down like that. "She's a lil down since he didn't walk her home last night." Carla rolled her eyes. Wendy squeaked lightly, blushing. Now she couldn't deny it. Gajeel snorted at this, rolling his eyes.
"Tch. Don't be so down. It was it only once. I know he won't do it again." The black haired man stood. "Next time, ask someone else if yer don't want to be alone in the dark." Then he left. Wendy only smiled.
"I wasn't alone though..."
"Speak of the Devil." Carla tched. Wendy looked at what-or rather who- she was staring at. Wendy gleamed, quickly shooting out of her seat. Not only was she happy that Gray had finally come to Fairy Tail, but Juvia wasn't with him! Now she had him all to herself!
Wendy mentally slapped herself.
«What's wrong with you, Wendy!?» Wendy mentally screamed at herself. «You sound like an over obsessed girlfriend!» She yelped. She didn't want to be one of those 'He's mine' friend! (Even though it's already happening.) «Juvia is his friend too, and so is the rest of the guild. Stop being so selfish.»
Wendy ran to Gray, surprising him and even herself. She jumped on him, hugging him tightly. She felt his muscular arms wrap around he petite body, also hugging her. "Heh, I was only gone for a day." Gray chuckled out. But, Wendy didn't care. She wanted to hold him whenever she can.
She let go of him, now staring up at him as her smaller body stood not so far from him. She was actually awfully close to him. "Can you come with me on this job request, please! If you're not busy of course," Wendy asked. Gray nodded quickly, as if he was waiting for this day to come. Wendy grinned, thanking him for joining before running off to Mirajane with Carla hot on her heels.
