A/N: Hallooo! As promised, here is chapter 5~! Hahaha Here's a picture of a pissed of Gray (he's still very cute :">)

The clock struck nine. Still no sign of Natsu or Elizabeth. It was a bright sunny day, not a cloud in sight. The city was crowded, folks busy carrying on with their daily routines. I took time to take a deep breath before giving Erza's things another heave. I still couldn't understand why she brought so much stuff. We're only going on a mission for three days and she's a reequip mage for crying out loud! Why she no reequip? Why bring ten boxes of weapons?! Arrgghh! I'm really getting frustrated over this!

"Put your back into it." Erza gave me a sly smile.

"Yeah. Yeah." I replied giving her things another pull.

Damn it.

"You made up with her yet?" She asked all of the sudden.

I glued my eyes on the heavy boxes and gave her a nod, hoping that she wouldn't ask any more questions about last night. A faint joyful sound filled the air; I swear I just heard Erza laugh just now. I quickly turned to my side, but she had already stopped merry giggling to herself and was now putting on her serious face again.

"What?" She asked me.

I shook my head and looked away.

"Why'd you have to pack so much?!" I whined.

Erza shot me a look then folded her arms. "It's best to be prepared."

Yeah right. Best be prepared my foot!

"Hmph. Sure, you be prepared and I do all the work."

Erza whacked my chin so hard it caused me to fly across the road, face down. Damn it. I grunted and slowly stood up. I rubbed my aching head and frowned. Erza looked away, as if nothing happened. Sigh. When will I ever learn to keep my mouth shut? I shook my head, better be moving along if I don't want to receive another flying fist from Titania. I looked around to see a long blue bag right next to me. Must have missed that one. I figured it was one of Erza's so I put it with the rest of her things. The train station was still quiet, you could only see a few people scattered around the area. I checked the big timepiece located near the station. Nine fifteen. Still no Natsu and Elizabeth. What's keeping them? Then it hit me. Natsu. Elizabeth. Natsu won't get up earlier than me, except maybe for that one time. And Elizabeth? She sleeps all the time.Enough said. I groaned and turned to Erza, who was busy staring into space.

"Yo, Erza! Don't you think leaving Natsu to pick up Elizabeth isn't the best idea?"

"Don't worry about it." Erza replied.

I looked at her with suspicion. What is she getting at exactly? I could've just got her myself. She just lives beside me. I looked back at Erza and cocked my head. I've known her for a long time. I know she's a reliable person. I should just trust her decisions. Leaning back on the stack of boxes, I sighed and sat down with my arms crossed. I don't really mind waiting, but Lucy might find out.... or even worse.... Juvia. I shivered at the thought of her following me around. I shook my head. I don't need another migraine.

I was about to drift off to sleep when a familiar annoying voice chimed loudly into my ears.

"We're here!" Natsu shouted to us, waving a hand frantically in the air.

I rolled my eyes and stood up. "Finally! Wha-?"

Then something caught my attention, a silver-haired bastard stupidly grinning beside Natsu.

"What the hell?! Why is Lyon here?!" I shouted furiously, darting my gaze towards the pink-haired excuse of a man.

Natsu crossed his arms, obviously pissed off too. "He followed us." He snorted giving Lyon a rotten look.

"Now, now Gray. Don't get your panties in a wad." Lyon began.

Just the sound of his voice irritates me. I restrained myself from punching his face, Erza was looking and I didn't want another mishap of mine to give her any more trouble. I kept quiet and gritted my teeth. Think happy thoughts. Think happy thoughts. I tried to calm myself down.

"Where's Juvia?" I heard Lyon asked Erza in a sing-songy voice.

"She's not coming with us." Erza informed him.

"What?! And I made such an effort to come all the way here!" Lyon groaned.

Damn it. Stop talking Lyon! Stop talking or I am going to lose it! Stop talking! Think happy thoughts Gray. Think happy thoughts! Arrrrghh!!!! I can't think of any happy thoughts! Then something came into my mind. Something that happened last night. Elizabeth's smile. Her warm smile that made me feel... weird.

"Gray? Are you alright?"

My heart skipped a beat. I snapped out of my thoughts and shook my head vigorously then turned to face reality.

"Y-yeah." I told her as naturally as possible.

She gave a nod then almost immediately gave her whole attention to Lyon. I followed her gaze and frowned. I know that I find Lyon really annoying but now I'm just furious to even see his face. Weird. It's as if I was... jealous. No. That can't be it. Why would I be jealous of Lyon? That dumbass.

"Hey! You gonna help me with these or are you just gonna stand there all goo-goo eyes?" I interrupted her.

"...huh? Oh. Yeah. Sorry." She replied her eyes still locked on Lyon.

"Hmph. Yeah, right. Carry these over to Erza." I instructed her.

She silently nodded and obliged, but her gaze was still fixed on the silver-haired ice mage. Irritated, I huffed and walked past her holding some heavy boxes. I walked towards Natsu, my head fuming.

"Oi! Put this with the rest!" I shouted in a very loud and pissed-off voice.

Natsu turned to me and snorted. "Hey. If this is about us being late, don't take it out on me. It was Elizabeth's fault!"

I wasn't in a mood for talking so I just threw the box at him and luckily he was able to catch it. I marched towards the pile of boxes again, continuously got one then throw them to Natsu.

"H-hey! Can you PLEASE take it slower?! A-! Damn it you bastard! That almost hit me!" I heard Natsu complained.

I didn't budge. I just continued throwing boxes at him, constantly eyeing a certain purple-haired mage. She was now with Lyon 'helping' him load some of our things on the train. She was blushing so hard that her whole face was red. Damn it. Damn it! I threw another box at Natsu.

"AHHH!"

I heard a crashing sound from behind. I froze, afraid of what I might see. I slowly turned around to find an unconscious Happy alongside with Natsu under a big wooden box. Erza shot me a look. Enough for me to run frantically towards Natsu and the exceed. I quickly moved the box away on top of them.

"Oi! Natsu! Wake up!" I ordered him, roughly shaking his shoulders.

"G-gray you idiot!" Natsu stuttered, still dizzy.

I dropped him back on the ground then stood up. Lyon was still with Elizabeth, as if unaware of what just happened. They continued talking to each other. Lyon was obviously flirting with her, and the girl seems to be enjoying it. I gritted my teeth and turned around.

"Hey! It's time to leave!" I shouted to them angrily and boarded the train.

The train ride was a long one. My butt was tired from seating. My ears tired from hearing Natsu gagging up. My eyes tired from watching the two love birds talk and flirt with each other. I sighed, and gazed out the window. It will take another one and a half hour to get to our destination. I wanted so much to sleep but Natsu was so noisy and the other two made me sick that it prevented me from taking my eyes off them. Ironic isn't it? Erza began to stand up, dragging Natsu by the collar.

"Sigh. I'll take Natsu so that the three of you can somehow rest before we arrive." Erza said to us then walked away with Natsu.

"Well. I am a bit sleepy." Lyon yawned.

"A-anoh.. I'll seat beside Gray so that you can be more comfortable." Elizabeth offered.

"You sure?"

Elizabeth quickly nodded then immediately stood up and sat by me. "Thanks." Lyon muttered then smiled at her before drifting off to sleep. We sat there in awkward silence. I was still mad at her for some reason I couldn't comprehend myself so I was really not into talking to her right now. I slumped myself back and began watching the view outside. I could sense that she was still staring at Lyon, which made me even more uneasy. I couldn't take it.

"Stop staring at him." I ordered her sternly.

She shifted in her seat to look at me, "...I-I wasn't staring at him." She denied in a whisper.

A nerve bulged on my forehead, "Yeah, right." I retorted rather coldly.

"I-I really wasn't."

I stopped myself from saying anything further. I was too much in a rage to talk.

"Natsu told me you were angry."

I crossed my arms then turned to the other side facing away from her, still not saying anything.

"I'm sorry for being late. I-I won't do it again." I heard her apologize in a somewhat pleading voice.

I still didn't say anything.

"I know that this is my first mission and I should take it more seriously. Sorry for being a retard."

This time I turned to face her about to say something very clever in response but held myself back. Our eyes met, I found myself entranced with her dazzling onyx pair that I just dumbly stared into them. My anger suddenly subsided as I leaned closer to her. She smelled so good, do all girls smell like this? I leaned closer and closer, my eyes still locked on hers.

"....G-gray?" she suddenly spoke up.

I fumbled back then turned away. My heart was racing. I didn't know what got over me. What the hell did I just do? I could really feel myself burning with a tingly and disturbing sensation in my stomach. In just a matter of seconds... I might've... geez! Gray, pull yourself together! I made myself busy again by watching the scenery outside. Afraid of doing something stupid, I kept myself away from her as far as I could. Damn it. I still can't believe I attempted to do that kind of thing. We've only just met a few days ago. I barely knew her! But then her smiling face from last night struck my thoughts again. I shook my head and concentrated on the view outside, completely ignoring her. Then I was reminded how her onyx eyes shined and how her soft lips seemed really attractive that I.... argggh!!! Damn it! I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. Maybe a nice long nap might take her out of my mind.
