Hello! so, chapter four we go! I had a little bit of writers block with this chapter, and I could only be bothered with the diolog, but I tried my best and HUZZA! the longest chapter so far! (I've also been mourning the loss of my hair, that once travled more than halfway down my back and now only comes to my shoulders, so that kind of ruined my spirits.
I also asked afew more people what I should write, my favorate reply was 'Natsu should win a girls buety contest!' and I could strangly imagen that. But no, there will be no more cross dressing, I had my fun :')
right, on with the chapter! I don't own fairy tail :3
"Morning!" I get called. I groan into the pillow, I don't want to get up, I never want to get up. Let me just say here for the rest of eternity, I don't care I have school, screw it, I know enough. This bed is just too comfortable, getting out of bed was hard before but now… it's like floating on clouds. When mum gets back I'm stealing this bed." Gray! Up! Now!"
"don't wanna," I shout into the blanket.
"this is why you're always late then?" Natsu asks.
"no, I'm always late because I enjoy sleep" I reply flipping onto my back, keeping my eyes shut with an attempt of sleep.
"Gray if you get up I'll get you a fish!" Happy shouts, over enthusiastic.
"I don't want any fish Happy, I want sleep, if you didn't want this to happen you shouldn't of gave me a bed as nice as this," I grumble, my voice barely audible from relaxation. This would be heven if I were alone. Natsu and happy grab my arm "I'll poor water over you…" he threats tugging my arm, then saying "God, Gray you're heavy!"
"Thank you," I say getting yanked up to a sitting position, and then getting a uniform thrown in my face "dad washed it for you," pink head says turning to walk outside, not wanting to see me get changed I guess, or maybe just manners.
I can smell burnt toast in the air, I grunt while pulling the sleeve of my lent shirt up to my shoulder. I hear clattering coming from the kitchen, what exactly are they doing? What's so hard about making food. Toast as well! How can you not make toast?! I sigh picking up my bag, that I had thrown on the floor the night before, and make my way to the living room.
On the table are 12 pieces of burnt toast. This is just terrible, what? Did they make it with fire or something? Or is this just how they like there food… burnt. Because that's what it is and nobody's complaining. I'm seriously considering taking that fish happy offered me.
"sorry, nobody can cook in this house," happy says chewing on the head of a fish.
"well, I can, I could cook if you want?" I offer.
"oh yeah! I always see those lunches you make, I thought they were from an admirer or something though," Natsu tells me, I guess that was meant to be a compliment?
"Yeah, well there not, anyway all the girls think I'm gay, even my sister apparently," I sigh picking up a piece of burnt toast and examine it with a raised eye brow. "Does that not bother you?" happy asks throwing the bones of the eaten fish over his shoulder, and landing it in the bin.
I shrug "I don't really care what people think of me, and I don't see what's wrong with being gay so..."
"Yeah I guess that's true," Natsu shrugs "But still, you're not gay are you?" Another shrug "You don't know?"
"Nope,"
"Oh, so you're confused," Happy says.
"No I just don't fancy anybody, and never had,"
"No way, you walked together?" Loke asks as me and Natsu approach him. He's stood with Lucy and Erza who are both wearing the same shocked expression. I consider just walking off, but then I relies there all in everyone of my lessons so it would be a waste of energy. Oh I miss that bed...
"I had no choice," I sigh closing my eyes. Natsu elbows me "yes you did!"
"No, when I tried to run off you tripped me, remember?" I remind me "and don't elbow me moron, I'm going class," I start to walk off but Loke grabs my arm "We're having a party tomorrow, can you guys make it?"
"I will I guess, now let go, I'm going lesson," I reply tugging my arm back out of my friends grip. Lokes had party's before, there not too bad considering the 'truth or dares' he forces us to play. And by forces, I mean he gets Erza. So last time he had a party he dared me to ask a girl out, I said no, he got Erza, I said no, I got tasered. Yeah, that was the day we found out Erza had a quite large weapon supply (and the biggest wardrobe I have ever seen).
I can tell what's going to happen. I'm going to end up getting tasered because I don't tell them what's been going on, it's too easy to predict. That's probably why he's planning it, because I used to fall for it, truth or dare I mean. But I don't anymore (even if it means getting killed by Erza).
"Gray!" Natsu shouts me at dinner.
"What now princess?" I ask sitting down on a wooden bench, I was trying to get away from these people, and I should have guessed that he would follow me.
"Don't call me princess!" He shouts at me "and I just wanted to tell you I don't know if dad will let us go to Loke's party, especially if you don't have any clothes,"
"Igneel is not my legal guardian, and I have clothes..." I trail off; his dad did say that he would pick my stuff up today, so I do. I didn't want to sound like I wouldn't follow his dad's rules... I mean, he did welcome me into his house and everything, but I meant that I doubt he would tell me what to do, it was Natsu who woke me this morning after all, I think Igneel would let me sleep all day if it wasn't for his son... and his son's flying cat.
"But he still cares about your safety Gray, and no, you don't, dad texted me saying there was nothing in your wardrobe, those thugs must of took them or something..."
"WHAT?!" I shout confused. Why the hell would they take my fricking clothes? What, do they think I would have to go nude and they could find me that way or something? "what about the money I kept in there?" I ask.
"Oh he found that, why do you have one hundred pounds anyway?" He asks sitting next to me.
"Saving for university, but I guess I'm spending it on clothes..." I sigh, more because of the reason that I won't get any peace and quiet, I can raise the money again anyway.
"you could borrow my clothes if you want?" He offers, thinking I was bothered about the money.
"Eh? I'm already wearing your school shirt," I remind him.
"Well that's what friends do right? Help each other!" He grins, I stare at him for a while, isn't he being a bit too generous? And anyway, he puts his name in all his shirts, so considering the stripping habit I've been having lately it isn't the best idea.
"Ugh... I guess?" I say trying to sound thankful, he grins even more "anyway, it doesn't bother me that much, I can get the money back working at Wendy's families restaurant, thanks anyway," he giggles a bit "what?"
"you just admitted we were friends!" He jumps up. I did? Oh crap I did! How did I not realise that? God, I'm starting to think Natsu's sneakier that Loke.
"...whatever, just get out of here princess I'm not in the mood for small talk,"
"DON'T CALL ME PRINCESS!"
"But you make such a cute girl," I grin at him, trying to hold back my laugh.
"That was a dare...stripper!" He shouts back at me, a laugh hidden in his angry voice that causes my grin to widen "you wish I was a stripper," I reply sitting back mumbling.
"I do not! Ugh, whatever, I'm going getting the others," He storms off, his face slightly red. I sigh and lye back on the bench and watch the cloudless sky. What a moron.
"So you need to work?" Wendy asks as she welcomes me in, I've leant the wig again, just in case. I came when I realised a hundred wouldn't get me far for clothes, since they're so expensive these days, it's like they want everybody to run round naked, but I'm pretty sure that's illegal.
"Yeah, if it's okay sis," I confirm pulling the wig off, I'll put it back on when I leave.
"Sure! Just let me tell mum," she runs off into the kitchen as I sit down in her living room. I met Wendy when I first came to live with my mum, Ur. She was living with mum because she was pretty much in the same situation I'm in now. Her parents went missing, though, with mum being police she found them in about a month. But in that time me and Wendy got used to being in the brother sister possession so she made me promise that she will be my sister. Ur was going to find out what happened to my birth mother as well, she had told me, but I begged her to let me live with her. Well, that's what Wendy always says when she's trying to tease me.
I look around the room; I'm in some of the pictures that hand on the wall, so is mum. Our families are pretty close, so we always went on trips together. I remember the first time me and Wendy went to the beach, it rained the full time we were there (because that's my luck), so mum made us camp out in the rain, it was one of the best experiences I've ever had.
Wendy comes running back in, she jumps on the seat next to me "she said you can work every Monday and Friday, as long as you don't wear the wig,"
I laugh "it's only so the social workers don't see me,"
"who was the gir- I mean, guy you were with? Your boyfriend?" she asks in a mocking tone.
"No, why do you think I'm gay?" I ask, remembering what she had said when she didn't know it was me.
"I dunno... maybe its because two of your best friend are girls and you don't even flirt with them like Loke does,"
"why are you comparing me to that pervert?" I joke "and there is nothing wrong with having girls as friends, or I wouldn't be friends with you..."
"Yeah but I'm your SISTER! You can't flirt with me, that would be discussing Gray," she says rolling her eyes at me; she leant to do that from me.
"I'm not flirting with you! And it's not like I flirt with guys either," I remind her.
"yeah but if you were straight so would of made a move on Lucy... not so much Erza, I think she would rip your head off if you did," she says. I shrug, I've never really thought about that "and you and that guy seemed like a couple, that's why I thought she... he? Was your girlfriend,"
"Wendy I hate that dude, put me in a weird yaoi relationship all you want but please not with him," I say feeling a bit uncomfortable "he has a flying cat for gods sake!" I change the subject.
"he does!? I've always wanted one of them! I think a white one, a girl called Charles," she says, sitting back and staring at the ceiling, day dreaming.
"Isn't Charles a guy's name?" I ask.
"NO!" she defends her chosen name. I shrug, not wanting an argument (because she always wins) and sit back.
And that was Monday.
