Hello ladies and gentlemen of Fairy Tail,
If you asked me, I'll tell you that I'm being a nervous wreck right now as I post my first Story in this Fandom. I have been watching fairy tail for almost two years now, and I finally… had the courage to post this thing, although it's not as perfect as you all expect.
I've been reading also fairy tail fanfics, and I saw very good ones and….. well…. Not so good, but I admired some Authors here. They really inspired me to write. If you are curious, I would say that I wrote some stories here. So let's say my average writing is good.
My objective is to create something that you will all enjoy. Hopefully.

…Story Begins …
It was very very very very….
Hot.
The blazing hot sun was so high in the cloudless sky. There was no shade and no hope for the boy who was limping weakly while walking in a dry place.
The boy's sweat was drenching him, but it was fine. He could take the weather. After all, he was raised in a very hot city.
The problem wasn't in the weather. It was in his weak body right at that moment. The boy stumbled and found himself landing on a stack of straw bails. His blood from the injury was already penetrating the large stack.
He also felt the thing scratching his body a little bit from the fall.
Natsu cursed.
That was the last thing he needed. To add another patch of wounds to the ones he already had.
Anyway, he couldn't move. In fact he was now totally exposed to the full glare of the sun. His hair no longer shielding his face.
But that was okay too. Natsu didn't mind any of the harsh elements he was facing. His heart was broken and shattered into many small pieces.
A lonesome tear was rolling on his left cheek, and then the boy totally closed his eyes, believing that he'll die alone. In the hot weather he always preferred.
"Hey Gray! Stop being a sissy! I need a serious help here!"
"Loki! I swear I'm gonna leave you for good after we are done from this one!"
Gray was a guy that had spiky night black hair and deep blue eyes. The boy was tall with a very well-built and firm body. He was helping his friend with carrying some straw bails in their truck.
"Our client will certainly kill us and it will be entirely your fault!" Gray's friend yelled.
"Me? Damn right! I wasn't the idiot who accepted a mission of cleaning a 500 square meters land in just three fucking hours! I myself surprised from my idiocy that allowed me to join you!"
"Why don't you have the spirit for challenge?" His friend shot back.
"When the FUCKING challenge is reasonable, I would certainly do!"
"Whatever. Just don't let that thing fall from your hand!"
Gray growled while his gloved hand carried the heavy straw bails with his friend Loki inside the truck.
Gray fullbuster, was a teen that worked for a Bar called "Fairy Tail". He had been working in the bar for as long as he can remember. The bar was opened in the outskirts of Okinawa which was the warmest city in Japan. It was very hot that the boy was losing his own energy. That and Gray didn't like hot weather. He was practically raised in a very cold country, but after his guardian had passed away, he returned to his guardian's original roots. And that was where?...
It was in the hottest city in Japan. If you asked Gray, it was sure fucking hard to adjust. And he wasn't able to do that completely.
"Gray! Go get the other one and I will get that one."
Ok Gray was pissed, but loki had a point. The client that time paid well.
Business wasn't running all well in the bar, and they had fewer clients. Their clients were either regular for drinks and snacks…. Which was more of a cover to the real business.
And that business was right now a pain in the ass for Gray.
Gray was dressed in Primary Blue T-shirt and sky-blue Jeans. His T-shirt was drenched in water from the back, as if someone played a prank on the boy and threw a bucket of water on him. And that wasn't surprising; the weather was so damn-hot.
The boy placed his palms on either sides of his waist and panted heavily. He was seriously losing his strength and breath.
Gray was going to just quit from this stupid bar, and leave his all stupid friends, maybe go to Alaska and take a vacation of this shitty-
…..
The boy's breath was cut short when he saw something red that he has been stepping on.
His movement was seized for a while, then slowly the first thing he did was to raise his foot up from the stain of red.
Gray slowly looked to the ground, trying to be calm. He found a straight line of the same scarlet stain on the ground leading him to behind one of the green useless bushes where there were another stack of straw bail packages waiting for him and his friend to carry. The boy slowly wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked carefully to the source. Gray was wondering if the scarlet stains were like what he thought it'd be.
When the boy finally reached the spot, he breathed heavily and slowly made his way to the stack of straw bails which were…. Partly red.
Gray didn't know what to do. What if it was like his thoughts?
The boy's curiosity got the better of him, and he finally took a step forward.
Gray never thought that he'd see what he saw.
On the stacks of straw bails, a guy looked like he had the same age as Gray laid down with a huge gush in his chest, and severe injuries in his body. Gray was so surprised to the point that he thought that the boy's pink hair was maybe like that from blood.
For a moment Gray wasn't able to move from his place and tell even Loki, but he didn't have to….
"Gray what the heck? Come and-"
Loki stopped shortly after he'd seen the same scene as Gray. "—Help me….."
Gray looked to his friend who was standing… speechless.
"Loki!"
"A-alright!"
Both males carried the injured teen to the truck….. And the rest of the land…. Was left dirty and deserted.
Mirajane the bartender and the owner of the bar, the old geezer Makarov Dreyer, weren't expecting Gray and Loki to enter their Bar with almost a dead corpse.
Even Cana, the drunken girl, stopped drinking and watched in horror.
"Loki! Gray! What happened?"
A blonde Girl with honey eyes asked. She was serving a customer and stopped, spilling the drink in the process on the man who tried to flirt with her.
"Lucy, Everybody! This boy needs help!" Loki said with a panicking voice.
"What did you two do again?" The owner of the bar was angry. No one liked Angry Makarov.
"I swear I just found Gray standing beside him!"
"Gray! Did you throw your tantrum on this poor guy? !" Mirajane was horrified.
"OF COURSE NOT! I just found him! HE NEEDS HELP NOW!"
Makarov instructed the boys to put the pink haired stranger into one of the rooms they had in the second floor in the bar.
"You two are not allowed to go to this floor, but today is an exception." Makarov sighed. "I'll call my friend, and she'll be here in few seconds. Right now, I want you to see if he was alive or not, Mirajane."
"Hai Master."
After few tests, Mirajane found the boy alive, but in a very dangerous condition. "Gray! Go and get me ice and the medical box in that closet!"
Gray hurried and gave Mirajane what she wanted. He was very nervous to the point that he didn't notice he was standing on the second floor that he wanted to see so badly.
How could this fucking day go even worse? From carrying heavy straw bails to what now? A dead body?
After few minutes, a friend of Makarov arrived and everybody exited the room for the stranger's sake. Even though Makarov's friend was dead cold and freaking horrifying old hag, Gray admitted her talent and skills in medical stuff from the times she treated him in different situations. Ugly situations.
Before registering what happened, Gray found himself on the ground floor of the Bar again.
'DAMN! I didn't take a good look on the second floor!'
As if knowing his feeling, Loki gave him a sad look.
Gray was rained with questions about the boy he had found. He told his friends that he didn't know whatsoever, and they kept on annoying him wherever he went.
"Gray-sama. I believe you! I know you didn't do that to him because Master says his injury wasn't caused by human…"
Before Erza, a red haired friend of Gray could crack his neck, Gray begged for forgiveness even though he didn't do anything. And the fact that Juvia had just said was able to prove he was innocent.
"GRAY!" The boy yelped and backed away from Erza before she….. kills him, but to his surprise the girl patted his shoulder and smiled.
"How noble of you! I am proud of your kindness."
The boy panted and patted his freaked out heart. 'Note to self! I'm not going anywhere near a dead body again!'
But that wasn't the last of Gray's worries for the day.
Suddenly the door of the Bar was forcibly opened, and a huge number of people were seen.
"Oi Oi! Fairy Tail scum!"
Gray and Loki slapped their foreheads. The troubles were coming one after another in that day.
Their client was obviously….. Not happy might be the right word. And not happy client means, the client coming plus some of Phantom Lord Bar members. All in all, the situation was getting hotter by every passing moment.
"You said that the Job will be done! And I paid you!" The 'Jackass' shorty client spilled, making some of his salvia land on Gray's cheek.
Gray was expecting worse to come.
"Return the cash! Or I'll make my men crush this stupid bar!"
Laxus, a member from 'Fairy Tail' Bar, chuckled at how Gray looked like. Oh boy.
Somehow Erza and Laxus convinced the pissed client that the two of them will clean the rest of the remaining land as a punishment, and that he didn't have to worry about anything. And Phantom Lord thanked their god that they weren't going to go in a fight against Fairy Tail. Last time was dramatic, and it was the orange colored bar that won.
Gray was starting to hate whoever spoiled the day for him. Yes.
The freaking dead body.
The day after, both guys cleaned the land and returned to the Bar to see Mr. Jackass who was also known as their client. He had a huge satisfied grin on his face which was creeping Gray, but that wasn't important.
The client had done one sinful mistake, and that is smacking Lucy on her…. Bottom. The girl went in fury and returned the smack triple. She even called her assistant virgo to punch a hole in the man's face.
Gray thought it was really Lucy's fault. Lucy always wandered in the Bar, almost wearing nothing especially in summer, when all men looked at her with hungry looks... not that he did that, but he was just proving a point. He saw that these desires were inevitable.
The client got out with a bruised face, promising 'Fairy Tail' a sweet revenge.
Gray looked unbelievably to Lucy, who huffed and blamed it on the client who dared to do such terrible thing.
Erza agreed and Virgo Bowed. "I'm here anytime you need me Hime."
Fairy Tail wasn't just a Bar for serving drinks and Food. It was also a place where people came to request or post some errands, and sometimes it gets dangerous so only special members were allowed to go to do these jobs. Some of them were to retrieve something stolen, and because the Bar was in the Outskirts of Okinawa City, these requests were almost daily.
Fairy Tail also had rivals in the field. Some of them were friendly and others weren't.
"Did he wake up yet?" Gray asked the Master.
Of course he wasn't allowed to go to the second floor whatsoever. "How come I can't go and see him?" Gray just wanted to see the second floor.
"You know the rules Gray. No second floor until you pass the test."
'Fuck the Test!'
"And it's cruel that you just want to go up to see the second floo- HEY! Put some cloth on!" Makarov wasn't surprised.
Gray's Habit of removing his cloth didn't change one bit ever since he joined the Bar.
"It's hot and I'm dying here…. Mira, I want something refreshing."
"Okay." Mirajane answered with a smile.
Mirajane made a very cute bartender. She was just sweet, but you can't go on her angry side.
"Well, if you care enough I will just tell you that he is breathing. He was injured by something unknown…. Not human. And Gray…"
"Yeah?"
"He needs cloth. Take these sizes and go buy him some clothes."
Gray almost crushed the table from anger. "I'm not his fucking servant! He can go and buy for himself!"
"He is unconscious Gray. Have some sympathy!"
"I won't! Ever since that freakin' corpse came, my life was turned upside down!"
Makarov sighed. "Don't be dramatic and go."
Of course Gray wouldn't go!
He was in the cloth shop with a big scowl on his face.
It was getting darker and he had to pick anything to get back to the outskirts again. The central of the city gave him the creeps although it was a safer place.
Somehow Gray felt that the color red and black would suite the stranger well….
He picked some sleeping clothes and others for daily use… some Jeans and shirts.
Gray finished shopping and then went back to his truck.
He arrived to his home which was only five meters away from Fairy Tail. It was a building that Fairy Tail Bar owned for the employees that had apartments. Gray had a very simple house, that was only from one floor, two rooms, one kitchen, one bathroom and a small living room.
For his surprise, he found half of the Bar in his house and it was pretty cramped.
"What are you guys doing here?"
Makarove smiled and let Erza explain.
"Well Gray. We find that the boy is fine; however, he can't stay at second floor much longer. So we needed him to be somewhere else…. And because you my friend," She patted his already bare shoulder, "Have found him, you'll take care of him until he fully wakes up."
Gray's eyes widened in horror.
He wasn't going to do any babysitting!
"But…. I can't take care of him! I have work!"
"Don't worry. Mirajane will come and check up on him every now and then, you don't have to do anything except for telling us when he wakes up."
The boy couldn't argue. He was trapped from all sides.
…..Chapter Ends …
Well… Don't worry guys, I think It'd take three or Two chapters more.
Any Negative/positive comments are always welcome.
I hope you enjoyed reading.
