Oops (Gray x OC)

C.34

The next morning, mom had a full breakfast cooked for us three. She even grilled up some fish for Happy.

"Morning to you guys. Sleep well?" She asked, pouring us some tea.

"Like the dead." I smiled.

"Thanks for breakfast, mom." Natsu smiled at her as he sat down.

"Oh, no worries." She said.

"I think you cooked enough... these two are bottomless pits." I said, smirking.

"You were the same when you were younger." She said and sat down to eat as well.

"Seriously? I swear some days she doesn't eat a bite. I have to force feed her." Natsu said through a full mouth.

"Puberty changed her appetite." Mom nodded and I rolled my eyes, chewing on some bacon. "So, what's the plan today? Stay in? Show him around town?" Mom asked, sipping her coffee.

"I guess I could show them around town. Nothing's changed, has it?" I asked.

"Nothing ever changes here, sweetie." Mom shook her head.

"What's there to see? What are you gonna show me?" Natsu asked.

"There's a bookstore I loved when I was younger..." I hummed.

"Boring!" Natsu teased and I shoved his shoulder.

"You're boring!" I said with a grin. "There's a mall where tons of people go to hang out, there's a park with the most beautiful trees ever, and they're in bloom around this time! We could go see them." I said.

"Sounds fun to me!" Happy said enthusiastically.

"You just want to fly through the trees and knock the flowers down, don't you, buddy?" Natsu said and Happy grinned as he nodded.

"Then I guess we can go there today. To the park." I nodded.

So after breakfast, we got dressed, and I lead Natsu and Happy to the park, which was so much bigger than I remembered.

"Should we get some lemonade?" I asked, seeing a stand.

"Why not? Happy, you want one?" Natsu asked, pulling some money out, and when Happy said no, he got two, one for me and one for him.

We walked through the park and looked at the flowers and other people, and some entertainers scattered here and there.

After a little while, we got a bag of popcorn to share and sat under this huge ass tree for a little break.

"Mom used to bring me here and read to me when I was really little." I hummed, looking up and seeing the sunlight glint through dark green leaves.

"So mom used to read to you and you used to go to bookstores. I never took you for a reader." Natsu said and I shrugged and tossed a piece of popcorn up, and he caught it in his mouth.

"I know I don't look it, but I actually do love to read. I just never have time for it." I said and scooted a few feet away.

"Where are you going-" Natsu frowned.

"Shut up and open your mouth." I said and picked up a piece of popcorn and tossed it, and he caught it, eating it.

We did this for a while, and he wanted to test me, but I was horrible at catching things with my mouth, so it was mainly him throwing popcorn at me, and the popcorn bounced off my face or chest.

When that was done, we walked some more and came across the dogwoods that were in bloom with huge white petals falling around everywhere.

Happy zipped up into the trees and flew around, knocking petals off flowers and some flowers off the trees.

I laughed as the flowers fell, and picked two up and put them in Natsu's hair. "Aw, look at you. You're adorable." I said and he rolled his eyes.

"I'm manly, not adorable." He said.

"Tell that to the flowers in your pink hair." I snickered and he smirked as his hands and feet went up in flames and he struck a pose.

"Manly. I am manly." He said and I laughed.

"Now you just look stupid." I said and he stuck his tongue out at me. Being the childish little shit I am, I stuck my tongue right back out at him.

A petal landed on my tongue, and I spit it out and Natsu laughed uncontrollably at me the whole way home after that.

"You looked so ridiculous! You should've seen your face! You just... blegh!" He said and made a face as I rolled my eyes and went to my room to sit on my bed as he fell on it in laughter.

"Aw, come on, Baz. It was pretty funny." He said after he calmed down.

"Your face is gonna look pretty funny soon." I warned, jokingly.

"Oh, you know you love me." He poked my back, making me twitch.

"You were making fun of me." I said, still turned away from him.

"Because it was hilarious. I'm sorry, but it was pretty funny." He said and I lied down and turned to face him.

"I'm forgiving you only because I'm going to get you back." I narrowed my eyes and he booped my nose.

"Of course you will."
