Chapter 4
x Gray's POV x
I heard the familiar voice behind me,
"Hey there, little bro!"
I made the mistake to turn around, only to see my brother's stupid face grinning at me,
"Hello, Lyon.."
Then he moved his disgusting black eyes to Natsu, who was already turned to his direction.
"Oh, my. You must be lil' bro's new boyfriend!" Lyon grinned again.
"WHAT?!" both Natsu and I shouted. I was sure my face was dark red, but I didn't have the courage to turn to see his face.
"I .. uhm.." Natsu started, " well, Gray got drunk last night at the bar, where I am working.. and I didn't know where he lives, so.."
"He brought me to his place to spend the night, because I was too drunk to walk on my own." I tried to help him, but with the memory of the this morning waking up, my face blushed even more and I quickly looked at the ground.
"Well, then nice to meet you, savior of my little brother's sorry butt, I'm Lyon, Gray's elder brother."
I got my eyes off the floor to see a smirking Lyon giving a hand to Natsu, who also rose up a hand,
"Nice to meet you, too, Lyon-san. Name's Natsu." He grinned childishly and shook big bro's hand. Then Lyon looked at me, smirking,
"I'm happy you found someone to take care of your stupid self last night, bro!" Oh, just how much I wanted to punch him in the stupid face!
"Shut up, Lyon! Anyways, you up for a rematch for yesterday?"
"Hahaha, why? For you to lose again? No, thanks. I'm actually busy right now. Unlike you, lil bro, I have a girlfriend and I'm going out on dates with her. You should try, too. It doesn't hurt!" stupid big bro smirked at me, then looked at Natsu, "It was pleasure meeting you, Natsu-san! If it isn't too much, I'll ask you to take care of lil bro's drunk butt when he needs it!" He grinned at Natsu, who grinned in return,
"Not a problem, Lyon-san. Pleasure meeting you, too!"
Then Lyon smirked once again at me and left the hall.
"He's not that much of a bastard, if you ask me. He seemed kinda nice.."
"Oh, not you too!" I growled, at which both me and Natsu laughed. "I'm gonna swim now. Mind detect the time?" he smiled softly (you really should stop doing this, Natsu, or I won't be able to stop myself from.. doing some things),
"Nah, not a problem!"
I nodded and walked to the edge of the pool, waiting for his signal,
"GO!"
I jumped in the pool and started swimming as fast as I could. I really loved the gentle touch of the water against my skin... There, I was already at the half of the distance, just a little more left! I sped up at the final 20 meters and popped my head out of the water, as I reached the end of the pool,
"Well, Natsu, how was that?"
"46.7 seconds" he smiled, "Wow, you're so fast!"
"No, I'm not!" I angrily cut him off. Then I saw the shock on his face and I calmed myself down, "Sorry, it's just.. I've never actually been able to win against Nii-san. He's just way better than me Wait, don't tell him I've said this!" he chuckled,
"Don't worry, I promise I won't!" his eyes went to the timer. Then he suddenly looked back at me, grinning widely, "I have an idea! I know how you can win against Lyon-san!" his grin got even wider (how is that even possible? ).
"Let me hear it, then." I smiled at him.
"Well, when he's on dates, you're here, in the pool, right?"
"Yeah, most of time. Why?"
"Then, if you train hard enough, you should be able to win, especially with that body of yours.." Wait, what? My body? He just said.. oh, gods! My face quickly went crimson,
"I think you're right. I don't train hard enough." Then a thought flashed trough my mind, "Will you be here, while I train? " Wait! Did I just.. Oh, no! Gray no baka!
"Yeah, why not!" he happily said, grinning once again, almost all of his sharp teeth showing. I smiled back at him, happy I wasn't rejected,
"Then, let's train!"
-/\/\/\-
The day quickly rolled over and it was already time for Natsu to go to his work again,
"I'm sorry, but I really have to go. Although, I hate the job, but I need the money, so.."
"Don't worry, I'm coming with you. I promised my friend, Cana, to go drinking with her tonight."
"Cana? You mean, girl with long, wavy brown hair and chocolate eyes, who always drinks a lot?"
"Yeah, same person. How do you know her, anyways?"
"She's Laxus' girlfriend.."
"Wait, you know Laxus too?" I opened my mouth like I was just slapped with a wet cloth.
"Well, duh. I work at the same place he does, remember?" he laughed.
"Oh, right. Well, let's get going before you're too late!"
x Natsu's POV x
I turned around to see the source of the voice. I saw a boy, a little taller than Gray, with white hair and black eyes. He was as hot as Gray.. what the heck? Seriously, brain? Seriously?
"Hello, Lyon.." Gray not so cheerfuly greeted his brother, who turned his gaze to me,
"Oh, my. You must be lil' bro's new boyfriend!"
"WHAT?!" both Gray and I shouted. I felt my face getting hot and I was sure I looked like a tomato with pink hair. I'd really appreciate his words to be true, but I just had to say something,
"I .. uhm.. well, Gray got drunk last night at the bar, where I am working.. and I didn't know where he lives, so.."
"He brought me to his place to spend the night, because I was too drunk to walk on my own." Thank gods, Gray! Good he said this, because I didn't know what stupid thing I was going to say.
"Well, then nice to meet you, savior of my little brother's sorry butt, I'm Lyon, Gray's elder brother." Lyon rose up a hand and I did the same,
"Nice to meet you, too, Lyon-san. Name's Natsu." I grinned at him. He then looked at Gray, who was staring at us stupidly,
"I'm happy you found someone to take care of your stupid self last night, bro!" I blushed at this words.
"Shut up, Lyon! Anyways, you up for a rematch for yesterday?" Gray managed to hold his gaze straight.
"Hahaha, why? For you to lose again? No, thanks. I'm actually busy right now. Unlike you, lil bro, I have a girlfriend and I'm going out on dates with her. You should try, too. It doesn't hurt!" Yay, Gray's single! Wait, what? I should really take care of my brain! Lyon looked at me, "It was pleasure meeting you, Natsu-san! If it isn't too much, I'll ask you to take care of lil bro's drunk butt when he needs it!" He then grinned at me and I grinned in return,
"Not a problem, Lyon-san. Pleasure meeting you, too!"
Then he smirked once again in Gray's direction and left the hall.
"He's not that much of a bastard, if you ask me. He seemed kinda nice.." It was true. At least in my opinion,
"Oh, not you too!" he growled, at which we both laughed. "I'm gonna swim now. Mind detect the time?"
I smiled as soft as I could,
"Nah, not a problem!"
He nodded and walked to the edge of the pool ( that sexy body! Gah, I seriously need to stop that!). I shook my head and shouted 'GO!' at which he jumped in the water. He swam all the distance and his head popped out of the water,
"Well, Natsu, how was that?" Are you seriously asking me that? I smiled,
"46.7 seconds. Wow, you're so fast!"
"No, I'm not!" Wow, did he just shout at me? He seemed to have seen the stupid shocked look on my face, so he calmed down, "Sorry, it's just.. I've never actually been able to win against Nii-san. He's just way better than me Wait, don't tell him I've said this!" I chuckled,
"Don't worry, I promise I won't!" I looked back down at the timer. Then an idea came to my brain. I looked back at him, grinning widely, "I have an idea! I know how you can win against Lyon-san!"
"Let me hear it, then." he smiled at me (gah, how can he be so cute?) and I started talking,
"Well, when he's on dates, you're here, in the pool, right?"
"Yeah, most of time. Why?"
"Then, if you train hard enough, you should be able to win, especially with that body of yours.." Ah, damn, stupid mouth! My face quickly went crimson. I noticed that his own was red, too,
"I think you're right. I don't train hard enough." He stopped, then added, "Will you be here, while I train? " YES! YES, OF COURSE! – I wanted to shout, but I only grinned happily and answered,
"Yeah, why not!"
He smiled at me,
"Then, let's train!"

The day was at his end and I had to go to work. Damn you, stupid work! Ruining one of the best days in my life.. I apologized,
"I'm sorry, but I really have to go. Although, I hate the job, but I need the money, so.."
"Don't worry, I'm coming with you. I promised my friend, Cana, to go drinking with her tonight."
"Cana? You mean, girl with long, wavy brown hair and chocolate eyes, who always drinks a lot?"
"Yeah, same person. How do you know her, anyways?"
"She's Laxus' girlfriend.."
"Wait, you know Laxus too?" he opened his mouth like a fish out of the water.
"Well, duh. I work at the same place he does, remember?" I laughed, more at his face, than his words
"Oh, right. Well, let's get going before you're too late!"
