oOoOoOo
Gray was beyond pissed. The moment he and Natsu went inside the TPD building, the idiot immediately left him in search for his blonde girlfriend who's a lab tech that specializes in Audio/video and handwriting.
He was walking around carrying a heavy box when he accidentally bumped on someone, looking down it was a kid.
"Oh, sorry kid, I didn't see you" He smiled apologetically. When the kid looked at him, he felt his heart skipped a beat.
The boy looked like him. Hell, it felt like he was looking at a miniature carbon copy of him except for those eyes…yes, those eyes that were so painstakingly familiar.
"Its okay mister" the boy said "Say, are you new here?"
Gray looked confused. Why did this kid know he was new? Does this mean he was a regular here?
"How did you know? I was just assigned here"
The boy smiled "my mommy always brings me here to see my uncle!" Gray smiled at that. So the kid's uncle works here.
"So what's your name?" he asked
"Ulrich!" Gray thought it was a great name.
"I'm Gray Fullbuster, nice to meet you kid!"
"hahaha! Nice to meet you too Mister Gray!"
"Hey! Ice pants! How dare you leave me!" a rather familiar annoying voice shouted
Gray turned to look at the annoying prick "Leave you?! You were the one who left me first to find your damn girlfriend!"
Natsu was about to retort when he heard a kid giggle. He stared at the kid for awhile before it clicked to him.
"Oh shit! Gray! You had a son?! How could you not tell me! We were friends and enemies!"
Gray smacked the idiot in the head.
"You idiot!" he hissed "Ulrich's not my son! I just met the kid here!"
"Eh? Really? But he looks a lot like you and Ju-" Gray elbowed him in the rib. Hard.
Ulrich giggled as he stared at the two men in front of him, they were so funny.
"You two are new here right?" He asked, staring at them.
It freaked the hell out of Natsu, since it was like a mini Gray staring at him with those cute wide blue eyes of his.
"I can bring you two to uncle Laxus's office. He's the supervisor in-charge right now since it's currently the day shift" Ulrich said.
Gray and Natsu looked amazed.
Ulrich then immediately led them to the said supervisor's office. Along the way, the two men had asked the kid a couple of questions.
"What's your name kid?" Natsu asked, eyeing the kid.
Ulrich smiled "I'm Ulrich, what's your name mister pinky-san?"
"Pinky?!" Natsu twitched, while Gray was laughing out loud clutching his sides.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's a good one kid! HAHAHAHAHA! Mister Pinky-san! HAHAHAHA!" Gray laughed. Damn, he loved this kid already. He felt that they would get along well.
"Oi! I have a name! Its Natsu Dragneel!"
"okay!" Ulrich chirped happily.
"But seriously, how come you know a lot of stuffs about this line of work?" Gray asked.
Ulrich was about to reply when he suddenly tripped. He closed his eyes waiting for the pain. Seconds ticked by, his face did not kiss the floor yet. He opened his yes. Gray was holding him.
"Kid, you okay?" Gray asked worriedly, checking him if he had any injuries.
"I'm alright Mister Gray!" Ulrich wrapped his arms around the man's neck. Gray was a bit confused on what to do, before he then realized it, Ulrich wanted him to carry him and so he did.
Ulrich felt weird around Mister Gray, he felt safe around him. He also trusted him. Mister Gray was very different from his Uncle but Ulrich somehow knew that Mister Gray was someone special.
When they arrived in the supervisor's office, They saw a huge built man with yellow hair and a scar grazing over his left eye (or was it right?) dressed in a purple button up shirt and black slacks and shoes. He also wore a black fur coat. The man was sitting on a couch, reading some files.
"Uncle Laxus!" Ulrich ran over to the man, hugging him. "I brought visitors!" Ulrich pointed to Gray and Natsu.
The man stared at them "I'm Laxus Dreyar, senior supervisor of day shift; I guess you're the men that old man told me about"
Gray and Natsu nodded. Laxus looked at Ulrich "Ul, Why don't you go call everyone who's available to the breakroom, tell them we have nee members"
Ulrich nodded happily before running off.
Laxus chuckled "Seriously, that kid is way too cheerful"
"you said it" Gray said "How comes he knows a lot about these line of work"
"He wants to become a CSI"
"Why?"
"To find his father"
"You mean his father is missing"
"Nah! His mother came to us pregnant and alone, The kid grew up knowing that he has no father and he wanted to find him."
"Gray, are you sure your not Ulrich's father?" Natsu teased
Gray punched Natsu in the gut "Don't even joke like that"
oOoOoOo
"These two guys will be our new members" Laxus introduced.
"I'm Gray Fullbuster, CSI level 3"
"I'm Natsu Dragneel CSI level 3"
"Hi! I'm Levy McGarden, lab tech specializing in DNA/toxicology" a short petite bluenette smiled at them as they shook hands, beside her was a rough looking man with unruly wild hair.
"Gajeel Redfox, CSI level 3" the man said gruffly.
"Hi! I'm sure you know me already, Lucy Heartifilia, lab tech specializing in Audio/video and handwriting" a beautiful blonde dressed in a white lab coat over a pink dress and a pair of red heels.
Natsu hugged Lucy with a grin on his face. Levy gasped "Lu-chan! Don't tell me he was the boyfriend you were talking about?!"
Lucy blushed as she nodded. "How cute!" Levy gushed.
"The others are busy since they have a case they're working on but you'll meet them soon enough" Lazus explained as he took a sipped of his cup of coffee.
oOoOoOo
It was already 1 pm, when Juvia left with the crime lab with Ulrich. On their way home, Ulrich was happily talking about the things he did today.
"Mommy! I met two men today!"
Juvia looked at her son sternly "Ul-chan! What did I tell you about not talking to strangers?"
Ulrich puffed his cheeks and crossed his arms over his chest "But mommy!~ They were CSI's too!" He explained
"Oh really?" Juvia teased
"Yeah, their names were….uh….whatever… I'll just call them pinky-san and mister-san!" He raised his hands enthusiastically, quite proud of the names he just thought.
"Mou~ Ul-chan, you really are like Gajeel-kun, giving such weird nicknames"
Ulrich grinned "Sorry mommy, But I forgot their name~!"
Juvia patted her son's hair and kissed his cheeks.
"Mommy, do you really have to go to work tomorrow?" Ulrich whined pulling on his mother's dress as she opened the door to their house.
"Of course Ul-chan, mommy is a teacher" Juvia smiled "the kids' needs mommy to teach them" she explained
Ulrich sat on the couch, staring at the window, looking outside. His cute face set on an adorable scowl.
"Well, I hate it!" he said "Those kids keep calling you mommy and hugging when your not their mommy!"
Juvia grinned at this. Ul-chan was such a possessive child.
"Oh~ Ul-chan is jealous~" She teased, pinching on his cheeks.
"mommy! I am mad!" Ulrich whined indignantly "Mommy! St-hahahahaha! Mom-ahahaha!"
Juvia tickled her son, he was very ticklish. Ulrich tried to kick his mother away but alas, she grabbed his foot and tickled it instead.
"Mommy!"
oOoOoOo
That night after tucking Ulrich to bed, Juvia then went to bed.
The sun shine brightly through the window curtains, lighting over a messy room with bottles and pizza boxes scattered around. A bunch of clothes trailed over to another room, leading to a bed where a couple was deeply asleep. Clearly naked under the covers.
"Ugh…" The girl groaned, her blue shoulder length wavy hair all tousled up. She sat up and looked around, trying to take in the situation before she let out a shrill scream.
"Wha-! What happen?" The guy bolted upright, eyes wide awake looking around for the problem that would cause the scream. But when he saw the girl, he was so shocked that he fell out of the bed.
"Juvia!" he exclaimed
"Gray-sama! This isn't supposed to happen!"
Gray walked over to the be, looking at the girl "Juvia,this was bound to happen, we have been dating for 2 years already"
"But I was hoping that I would be able to keep my virginity until marriage!"
"Juvia, we love each other right?"
Juvia nodded.
"Then, when we finished college, I swear! I'll marry you!"
Juvia looked shocked "Are you sure about this Gray-sama?"
"Yes!"
"What if you hate me…?"
"Hate you?" Gray scoffed "If I hated you, I wouldn't have sex with you last night! Man, that was awesome!" He grinned.
Juvia blushed "Mou~ Gray-sama, you remembered everything last night?"
"of course…" Gray had a wicked grin "not. I was wondering if you could help me remember every thing last night"
Juvia blushed beet red at that. "Gray-sama such a pervert!" she pulled up the covers to hide her face.
"Hehehehe! But I only do those perverted things to you!" He grinned as he ducked under the covers too, to join his lover.
