"She's just too interesting to be rejected. So I vote yes for her." Loke raised his hand.
Following Loke, Hibiki too raised his hand. "Yes from me too. Let's give her a try."
Then Hibiki nudged Sting to wake him up from his daydreaming about a certain pink haired. "Wha? Oh. Absolute yes for her. So I can see her most of the time."
"Gray, how about you?" Loke asked the last café owner.
"... Well... Natsu is..." Gray thought for a moment. "She really is something..."

I don't make any profit from this story. It's purely just for fun.
"And so, that's the final decision." The next morning, the four owners came to the café and announced. "Natsu, we are here by now to tell that you are accepted to work here. Welcome to Fairy Tail Café!" Hibiki said.
The sound of loud cheering from Mira and Cana made Natsu came back to life. He was so sure that he's not getting the job. Screw the job, the pink haired thought he's a dead meat for messing with them, now knowing they are the sons of Magnolia's most influential business men. Good bye, life. Or so he thought.
"Thank you so much!" Natsu bowed down (he already had his wig on since from his house before left for work, but not his maid uniform). "I really didn't know you guys are the owners. It was a very shocking truth, to be honest."
"And now you know." Loke grinned. "We'll accept your apology. With a kiss from you. Just a small one, on my cheek is enough."
"Or you can just kiss my cheek. I believe it's softer than Loke's so it won't hurt your pretty lips, Natsu." Hibiki said.
"If it's a kiss from Natsu, I'll be the one receiving it. And I don't mind getting it on my lips, though." Sting smirked.
'... These... jerks...' Natsu cursed inside his head.
With Hibiki and Sting came into the conversation with Loke, fighting who's getting the kiss from Natsu, things were totally out of control that morning in the café.
"Okay, enough boys. This isn't going anywhere." Hibiki finally acted as the adult among them. But not really. "Natsu can just kiss all of us as an apology."
"Sometimes you're a genius, Hibiki." Loke mocked, but he agreed with the idea nonetheless.
"Agree! But I'll be the first one!" Sting eagerly said.
"... Who said I was apologizing to you guys?" Natsu tilted his head.
"..."
"..."
The pink haired maid crossed his hands in front of his chest. "I don't remember ever saying 'sorry', do I? Just 'thank you'."
"What? But you–
"And I will never apologize for knocking some senses into your thick skulls. Which I think all of you don't have that common senses inside those heads of yours since the beginning. You four are really the worst. Shamelessly... molesting me..." Natsu blushed and averted his eyes from the boys. 'I'm a boy, dimwits!'
Suddenly, something soft landed on Natsu's cheek.
CHU!
"I'm sorry for my bad attitude then, Natsu." It was Gray kissing Natsu's cheek. "A kiss as an apology, right? Then please do accept my apology." The raven smirked at the frozen pink haired.
"Hey! Not fair! Then we want to apologize too!"
And another quarrel between the four of them was enough to make Natsu finally snapped from his laa-laa land.
"STOOOOOOPP!"
Froze.
"Nobody! Is kissing! Anybody!" Natsu screamed and was out of breath. "What's wrong with all of you idiots?!"
"But he started it!" Sting pointed at Gray. Just when the boys was about to start blaming one another, Natsu sent them his deadliest glare, making them frozen. Oh how the pinkette wished his glare could really kill.
"The café is opening soon! Owners or not, I expect all of you to NOT be here after I finished changing uniform." With that, Natsu left the boys speechless.
The power of imagination: Natsu... changing... uniform...
"And if any of you dare imagining something, anything indecent inside those dirty brains of yours, I swear..." The pink haired threatened, making the four boys ran out immediately from the café.

"Hahaha. Natsu sure is an interesting girl." Loke laughed.
The four idiots – males – were walking down the street to Magnolia University. They kept talking about Natsu, ignoring the longing gazes given by every girls around them.
"I like her." Sting suddenly said. "She's really my type. Feisty. To tame such a... wild dragon is very challenging. I will make her mine for sure."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! What's this! The mighty playboy can't-be-courted Sting is finally falling for a certain pink haired girl! This is getting more and more interesting!" Hibiki teased.
"What's with that stupid nickname?" Sting raised his eyebrows.
"First, because you really are a playboy. Second, because you always go out with so many girls without wanting to be tied to 'in relationship' status." Gray said. "I've never seen you being a boyfriend to anybody except that girl, Yukino, in junior high school."
"That's the past! But right now I really like Natsu! I sure want her to be my girlfriend!" Sting pouted. "Because somehow it's strange for her not to fall for my charm at the first sight, instead she seemed to... dislike it."
"Now that I think about it. Every girls we met are very hysterical just to see us, but she isn't. It really does strange." Loke said.
"That's why I like Natsu. There's just something different about her. I'm definitely gonna make her fall for me." Sting said.
"Go ahead. I already have Jenny, and Loke is targeting Lucy anyway. We're just having fun teasing her and seeing her reactions. But I don't deny Natsu really is cute." Hibiki chuckled.
"Good." Sting smirked. "She's mine then."
"..." Gray only shrugged as he lost in his own thought without giving his agreement or not.

Natsu soon became one of the hottest topic in Magnolia. It's true that Fairy Tail Café had already been famous before Natsu came. But after his arrival, more guests came to the café. Especially boys, who came only to see the rumored pink haired maid. Or even asking him out, but always got rejected.
"Here's your first salary, Natsu." Mira handed him an envelope. "Thank you for your hard work this month."
With that money, his house payment rent could finally be paid little by little, lessened the debt. And the next month's salary would be for Wendy's school tuition.
"Are you sure about this job, Natsu?" One time in a morning Wendy asked. "It's not like I'm against it. But you don't have to force yourself to become a girl. You can always find another job, you know."
"I'm fine, Wendy." Natsu grinned while attaching his wig with Wendy's help. "The payment is nice, Mira and the others are very kind too, and I love chatting with the customers. Also, I get to take home the leftovers from the café. This job is really suitable for me. Well, aside from disguising as a girl, of course. Hahaha."
As much as he liked socializing with the guests, he would still and always punish every perverts who dared to molest him. That's what made him even more famous. No exception for the owners. Same stupid treatments, same teasings, same molestings, then it's the same punishment for them too. Even sometimes, it was harsher.
"Natsu, please go out with me!" Sting held Natsu's hands.
"Sorry, Master. I don't have time for your pranks." Natsu pulled his hands away and went to the kitchen to grab some orders.
"Another rejection? Well, a wild dragon really is hard to tame. I can only wish you luck, bro." Loke put his hand on the Sting's shoulder to cheer him up.
Although Sting was very serious for liking Natsu and asking him out, the latter seemed to be oblivious (or just plainly stupid) and always thought it was just Sting teasing him. Apart from the teasings and all, Natsu got along quite decent with the four owners. Because he's a boy as well, and he found it enjoyable to have some chats with another boys. Even if they're just a bunch of idiots.
"It's so nice to have Natsu here. She's like a fresh air in this café. Always very energetic." Lucy giggled while waiting for the foods from Cana. "She doesn't even hold back or pretend to be nice in front of those owners. And so straight forward to them."
"Yes. The café becomes more lively these days, don't you think?" Mirajane smiled.
"But h- she is too stupid to realize that she's popular. Even that jock, Sting, falls for her. Just imagine how great she is." Cana said from the kitchen. "Well, at least she's being herself. That's the best. And that's what makes her a people magnet."
.

"Okay then, I leave it to you, Natsu. Don't forget to lock the door after you finished the checking. I'm so sorry for troubling you." Mirajane bowed down.
"Will do." Natsu grinned. "No problem, Mira. Just go home and take care of Lisanna. I'm sure she's waiting for the medicine you bought. You can count on me for the café."
Mirajane smiled in relief and left soon after thanked him. It was usually her job or Cana's to do the final checking on the café and locked it. But that day, Lisanna was sick and Cana had an urgent business to do that night so she couldn't do the final checking either. And Natsu just offered himself to help.
"Maybe I should change my clothes first. It's easier to move that way." With that, Natsu headed to the locker room and changed from his maid uniform into his normal clothes.
Then he went back to the kitchen to check the food supplies and everything. And that's when his wig accidentally got stuck in one of the storage cabinets.
"Ouch! What the–?" Natsu tried to unwind his wig from the cabinet. "Damn it. This is so hard. Ugh... I couldn't even see which part is stuck."
After trying for a few minutes, he gave up and decided to just detach the wig from his head. It's easier to release the tangled wig that way.
"Phew... Finally it came off." The pink haired exhaled.
Just when he was about to continue doing the checking...
"Hey Mira, I forgot to tell you–
"..."
"..."
"... Gray?"
"... Natsu?"
"I-I can e-explain..."
"... Well, please do. Now."
'Shit.'
