Oops (Gray x OC)

C.6

A few days later, I was at Fairy Tail, bored out of my fucking mind, and Lucy came up.

"Hey, Baz. How are you?" She asked and slid herself into the booth across from me.

"Bored as fuck and broke." I sighed.

"Have you been on a job yet? No?" She asked, then hummed. "Has Natsu even explained to you how jobs work?"

I shook my head.

"I had a feeling he didn't. He didn't explain it to me when I was new here, either. Come on." She said, taking my hand and pulling me over to a board.

"This is a job request board. You can choose from these requests for jobs. You have to tell Master when you're going to go so he can send a notice to the people who sent out the job request. Then you go do the job, collect the money, come back and the process starts all over again." She said and I nodded.

"So, go ahead and choose one... crap." She said and I looked over. "I just remembered that I don't have money for rent... hey, Gray!" She called and Gray came over.

"What's up?" He asked.

"Can you escort Baz on her first job and make sure she gets the hang of how these things work?" She asked.

"Sure, but why not you? Or Natsu?" He asked.

"I gotta get my own money for rent, and I think Natsu has grown a little attached to Baz." She laughed and I rolled my eyes as I read through jobs.

"This one seems good." I said and took it down. Gray took it from me and read it.

"Thief stole important family ring, must be found and returned. Fifty thousand jewel? Alright." He said and went over to Master to tell him, then came back to me.

"Let's get out of here before Natsu comes and tries to stop us or blow something up or something." Gray said, and with his hand on my back, ushered us out.

I dropped by our house to grab my bag of things, and Gray soon had a bag of his stuff, and we were off.

The whole way, Gray was just trying to flirt nonstop with me.

"Are you my pinky toe? Cos I'm going to bang you against every piece of furniture I own."

"There's only going to be eight planets after I destroy Uranus."

"Are you religious? Because you're the answer to all my prayers."

"The word of the day is 'legs.' Let's go get a hotel room and spread the word."

"If I flip a coin, what are the chances of me getting head tonight?"

"There are two hundred and six bones in your body. Can I add another?"

"You should sell hotdogs since you already know how to make a weiner stand."

I ended up losing it at this one.

"Hey, Baz, was your dad a baker? Because you've got a nice set of buns."

I turned and glared at Gray. "No, actually, my father was a drug addict and an alcoholic who soon enough turned into a deadbeat and abandoned my mother and I when I was a child." I said and it was silent between us.

I soon took a deep breath and pushed my hair back from my face. "Sorry, Gray, I'm just really tired and kinda stressed about this, being my first job and all."

"Oh, um. Yeah, of course..." He said awkwardly.

"Yeah, and if you could stop with the stupid pick up lines, that'd be great, too." I smiled and he nodded.

"Besides, if you wanna use pick up lines on me that badly, find some smart ones." I said as we continued onto the town we were headed to.
