Claire's POV
"Mmm," I groaned as I felt someone shake me.
"Claire, wake up!"
"Hungh?!" I sat up immediately startled. Of course the person was smart and leaned close which made me bump his or her head.
"Ow," we said simultaneously.
Rubbing my forehead I lied back down and threw a pillow at the person who dared interrupt my sleep.
"I have been trying to wake you up for the past 2 hours so you give me no choice." I heard... Gray? saY.
He swung me on his shoulders and carried me downstairs like a sack of potatoes. I glared at him and whacked him on the head.
"I can walk." I grumbled like an 8 year old.
"Well, this is your punishment."
"Meh!"
We finally reached our table on the first floor and thankfully no one was there and he finally put me down as well.
"Don't look at me like that," he said defensively as my arms crossed and my eyes narrowed.
"Come on! I'm the one who had to suffer by you levitating me and slamming me on the door every 3 minutes!"
Trying to suppress a laugh I glared at him harder, "You still have no right to carry me like a sack."
"I'm sorry, okay? But being slammed on the door is worse."
"Fine, we are even then."
"At least."
After eating he offered to show me around town. I nodded but asked if I could change into more appropriate clothes, referring to pajamas I was currently wearing. He blushed and nodded and also said that I could take a bath so I would not "scare" the people away with my foul odor.
"Are you sure that I am the one who is going to scare the people away?" I asked referring that he as well has not taken a shower.
He just glared and said, "You always have comebacks do you, Claire?"
I just smirked and stood up leaving our table and him to pay. I guess he realized it late since he started going after me just as I was going to shut the door.
"Yes?" I asked innocently.
"Don't look at me like that, Claire."
"I have to take a shower, Gray."
He just glared knowing that I was trying to avoid paying the bills.
"Just for now, Claire. You owe me one though."
"Fine. Just let me take a bath already."
"I, Gray West, hereby decree that Claire Moon is allowed to take a bath."
"Thanks," I said sarcastically while slamming the door in his face.
I took a warm shower letting the water just flow and rinse the dirt and grime off. After, I put on a light blue button up shirt, some white jeans and tied up my blonde hair.
I opened my door and 'surprisingly' Gray was there refreshed and wearing a plain black shirt, a light brown jacket with matching pants and to top it all off, his signature blue UMA cap covering most of his sandy brown hair and deep sea blue eyes.
I smirked and sarcastically said, "Gray! I wasn't expecting you to visit!"
"You really are quite the joker," he said glaring down at me because sadly, I was about a few inches shorter.
I just smirked and pushed him downstairs then out of the inn.
"Well, somebody's excited."
"Whenever am I not excited?"
"When I carry you like a sack?"
"It was a rhetorical question."
"Mhmm, sure it was."
I just rolled my eyes then smirked, "I thought you were going to show me around?"
"I was until you asked me a rhetorical question."
"Just show me around."
He smirked knowing he won this round. He showed me around town and introduced me to a lot of people, but the one person who really intrigued me the most was Doctor Trent. He seemed so familiar yet I couldn't place my finger on it.
"And this is where I work," Gray said leading me into... a blacksmith?
"GRAY WEST! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? HAVE YOU BEEN SLACKING OFF AGAIN?"
"No."
"Uhm, hello, my name is Claire. Claire Moon."
"Oh. I get it, but even though you have a girlfriend doesn't mean you have an excuse to slack off."
"EXCUSE ME?!" Gray yelled choking on... saliva?
"Ehrm, I am not his girlfriend, Mr. Saibara," I said remembering the who the worked here by reading the sign near the entrance.
"Oh, how sad..." Saibara said sighing, "oh, and just call me Saibara, miss Claire."
I nodded taking down notes in my head. Gray just glared at him and scowled, "Let's get going, we don't wanna miss lunch."
I took the hint and walked back to the inn with him. We walked in silence, but that silence was soon broken when I heard someone yell from behind me, "Claire!"
:O WHO SAID THAT? GUESS, MAYBE IF YOU GET IT RIGHT YOU CAN GUEST STAR IN A FUTURE CHAPTER? ;)
