It seemed to close up but the feeling of pain came pounding down on you like reality. You grabbed the door handle as your vision blackened and once again collapsed. You could hear voices in your trance, a male shouting, a female crying, and a furry thing on your arm. You groaned and sat up.
"What the heck happened?" You recalled the past events and sighed. "Right. Crazy woman attacked me."
You looked around and saw Lucy, Natsu, and Gray sitting next to you, sleeping peacefully. A ball of fur shifted on your arm and you looked down. Happy was happily sleeping on your arm, a few tears occasionally dripping down. You chuckled and picked him up, stroking him to help him sleep peacefully. You gazed at your new guildmates and stopped at Gray.
You thought. You sighed as Erza stepped in. "Oh, you're awake? Good. Can you tell the others to wake up also? We're all going on a job. With you, Gray's powers are amplified if you help him out,"
You nodded and gently shook each one. "Hey guys, Erza says we're going on a job. I'm coming to help amplify Gray's power." Lucy and Natsu drowsily nodded as you moved to wake Gray up.
"(Name)..." Gray murmured.
You looked down at his face. Was he already awake? No, his eyes were closed… He couldn't be dreaming of you, could he? You heard a yell outside and didn't think of it anymore, ignoring the faint blush that dusted your cheeks. You woke Gray up and let Happy sleep in your arms. It had been a while since Happy slept in your arms, might as well let him rest. Erza nodded as she saw us come out.
Natsu stretched and sat down at one of the tables.
"Oi, Mira, can I have meat?" Gray and Natsu yelled. That woke Happy up. They locked heads and the guild sighed. 9:24 a.m and the fight had already started.
"Order something else, flame brain!" Gray growled,
"No, you order something else, slanty eyes!" Natsu snipped.
"Petty…." You mumbled and turned to Mira. "Anything for me is fine."
"Ah, tea and onigiri for me!" Lucy shouted.
"Shut up you two. Mira, same as (Name)." Erza hissed, and Gray and Natsu hooked arms. "Just best friends messing with each other, right Natsu?"
"Aye, sir!" Natsu exclaimed.
"Happy #2…" You sighed, sipping the green tea Mira gave you.
"That's what I said when Erza saw those two fighting…" Lucy rolled her eyes. You grinned and chuckled as the two of you shook hands.
"This is the beginning of a wonderful friendship!" Lucy cried.
You nodded and the two of you chuckled inwardly.
Mira came back out of the kitchen and set plates down. Natsu and Gray grabbed at the same plate and the duel started again.
"Why you….that;'s mine!" Natsu yelled, his fist lighting on fire.
"No way, it's mine, fire breath!" Gray countered, his fists pouring out icy steam.
Mira had given you and Erza cake for good luck, and you began to eat peacefully while watching the entertainment.
The two fired their attacks but accidentally froze Happy and burnt his fish.
"Ah, how could you be so mean to me?" Happy cried. The burnt fish smushed Erza's cake and she stopped, trembling violently.
Wendy knelt down to a now melted Happy. "Here, I'll heal you…"
"Forget about me, heal my fish!" Happy cried.
"Pathetic…" Carla sighed.
Erza stood up and grabbed both the boys' heads.
"Eek! Erza!" The two writhed in fear. She slammed the two heads together and they slumped to the ground. "Idiots… save your energy for the mission. We're supposed to find and summon Acositnar! Our train leaves in 10 minutes. Let's move."
Natsu groaned. "I have to ride a vehicle, and be with this ice princess?"
Erza shot him a glare and they linked arms again.
"Let's get along today!" Gray fake smiled.
"Aye, sir!" Natsu fake laughed.
Lucy groaned and the six of you boarded the train. As the train started to move Natsu gagged and you chuckled, You patted the spot next to you and he shakily sat down, resting his head on your lap. Happy sat on your head and you chuckled at the duo.
You smiled and glanced at Lucy, Erza and Gray on the other seat. Was it just you, or did Gray just glare at Natsu and clench his fists? It was probably just your imagination. You closed your eyes and smiled as you dreamt of an impossible Gray/(Name) fantasy.
You woke up to feel warmth on your right side, and an icy chill on your left. You opened your eyes and blushed as you realized Gray was sleeping on your left side, his head resting on your shoulder. Happy was sleeping on your head and Natsu was on your right side, his head still on your lap. Lucy smirked and Erza was just smiling while you silently yelled for help.
The two shook their heads and you glared at them, cursing under your breath. Sighing quietly, you gently poked at the two's cheeks, wondering if it would wake them up. Natsu's cheek was warm and Gray's was cold, which made you feel nice, considering you were an ice and water wizard. Natsu stayed asleep but Gray woke up, still half asleep. Murmuring something incoherently, he nuzzled your neck and your blush darkened.
Could you be falling for the dark-haired stripper?
