A certain black-haired mage panted, and got on his knees. Despite the running here and there, he felt relieved. No drunk Cana, no annoying Natsu, and no Juvia to cling to him. He ran a hand on his black locks before sighing and standing up. Sensing that there's no one around, he took a stroll. Sigh, when can my life be meaningful?

Hands in pocket, the dark haired ice mage halted and decided to rest under a tree. He closed his eyes and hummed an unknown tune. Finally, Even one second, I felt the world turned peaceful.

*poke*

"Unnn.."

*poke*

"Whaaa...?"

"Seems like he's deep in sleep." He heard someone mutter, someone familiar.

"Then I'll wake him up." Gray suddenly felt an inpact on his head. "Oww!"

"There, he's awake." Even without seeing the person who hit him, he know who it was. It's always him.

"What's with that, Natsu?!" shouted Gray, annoyingly.

"Sorry, Gray, but we have to wake you up immediately. Can you take care of Nashi ?"

His mind took minutes to process what she had dark blue eyed man's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe what he's hearing.

"What?! You know that I can't take care of babies!"

"But you're the only one available!"

"How about Erza?"

"On a mission."

"Cana?"

"Drunk."

"Mira?"

"Working."

"Levi?"

"Missing."

"Lisana?"

"Missing too."

"Wendy?"

"Too young, also too short"

"Uhhh... Laxus?"

"Damn it Gray! Just please. Only this day."

He can't think of anymore excuses so he gave up and sighed defeatedly. "Fine, where were you going anyway?"

But before he can receive an answer, they dashed away rapidly. "If you do something wrong, I'll freakin' kill you!" Natsu said as he ran away with Lucy.

"Fuck." He cursed under his breath.

The ice mage entered the house quietly – but he was greeted by a wail instantly. He growled in annoyance. Keeping in mind that this is all just a bad dream, he marched towards the awaiting Nashi.

As he opened the door, no sound was enacted from the room. He sighed in relief and took a peek inside. There, standing on her wooden crib, was Natsu and Lucy's daughter. She began to clap her hands merrily, seeing that she have a new play mate today. Great.

Gray carefully walked towards the infant, a curious look etched on his once scared face. Like Erza, he does have a child-like and parent-like personality that he is hiding, and never knew that he has one. Once he is really near to her, Nashi smiled innocently to him. Curiosity got the best over him and he lifted Nashi in the air in the worst possible way ever. He's holding her upside down. The ice mage didn't notice his surroundings because he's too focus on Nashi, like she's a new form of life. He just shrugged it off and put her down again.

Meanwhile on the backyard…

"Let me go, Erza!" Both parents shouted incredulously. Erza remained straight face. "It's not my fault he's doing that. This is your plan right?" The titania's words sank into their minds and both sat down. "Oh look, he headed out for the door."

~ ( STRAIGHT LINE ) ~

Aaahhhh, I can't believe this is actually real. Now I have to make a milk and change the damn diaper. He mentally said, waving his fists on the air, (which made natsu laugh, thinking that he was acting so weird.). If his ice magic can do this job, then he will do it easily. But no, this is the real world.

Upon gathering the ingredients and materials needed for babysitting, he unknowingly smiled to himself. Well, at least this I think will be the most memorable experience I will have on my life.

-PART 1-

Sorry guys, but I will update the part 2 maybe on Saturday because, of course, my teachers are giving me shitty projects that really stressed me. Also, I also apologize for the grammar errors and spelling on this and the past chapters. I have no time to edit. Gomenasai. *bows formally*

Part 2 will be more on Gray's true self (in my opinion), more inspirations and more patience for Natsu and Lucy.

Hey! Thanks for this new people who followed and favorited this story (NEW ONES. BUT I LOVE THEM ALL)
