Natsu's POV

*half an hour before assigned to Ed*

I sigh as I think about the work I'm doing, wondering who I'd be assigned to work for...

Last week Mr. Mustache said that I'd be assigned to one of the higher ups within a week. The week has been gone and past, and at this point I'm waiting for that moment to come when I'm called into his office, and assigned to one of my senpais.

I don't want to get my hopes up, but I really want to be assigned to work for Edward Elric. Yes, despite what many people think and what my resume said when I applied to work here, I'm about as straight as a circle. (A/N AJ_333 science class last year though XD)

The paper that I have to do for Mr. Mustache is about the countless deaths, concerning the... Grimm... is it... attack at Beacon Academy. The three main people that I'm covering are Phyrra Memos, Penny Pinocchio, and Roman Toothpick, two were students, the other was a big dust thief/criminal. He was freed out of containment without a trial by Cinder Spring and had a henchman-err, should I say henchwoman. He was eaten alive by a subspecies of Grimm called the Nevermore, while fighting against the one and only Ruby Rock. The henchwoman earlier going by the name of Neo, what it's shortened for, probably Neopolitan- Mmmm neopolitan ice cream sounds really good right now.

The office tends to get really hot in August, even with most of the fans running; our air conditioner is broken and Mr. Mustache said that he called someone by the name of Sebastian Michele to come fix it, but he hasn't come yet so... Yeah.

I look at the clock on the wall in front of me, and see that it's already been ten minutes since I started writing my paper and then thinking about ice cream.

I hum quietly to myself out loud as I think about going out for ice cream when my shift ends in a couple of hours...

And if you think I could go on my break and go down the street to the ice cream shop there, uh-uh. I can't.

Why, you may ask?

...

I may or may not have already gone on my break an hour ago to go feed myself at the local ramen shop. (I know, so original or whatever)

I'M SORRY I WANTED TO FEED MYSELF SOME FOOD SO I DON'T STARVE, AND THEN HAVE MY PERFORMANCE GO DOWN. Jesus Christ you people must think I live in a perfect world.

Hate to break it to you, but I don't. This job is what's paying for my rent for this month, let alone food and whatnot.

Like most people though, I have friends that I can count on if I have financial or just plain problems. If the time comes and I'm kicked out of my apartment, I'm sure that someone will let me stay at their place. It's good to have friends like that, friends that'll be there through thick and thin, friends that understand everything, friends that won't stab you in the back... trust me, I would know about those friends that stab you in the back, those friends that you tell ONE itty bitty little thing to and they tell someone else, those friends that leave you, those friends that don't take the time to get to know you. (A/N I've had my experiences with those people...)

But Ed? He's one of those people that, even though you don't know them too well, they'd still consider you one of their friends. But from the way he looks at me, I feel he has a crush on me. Why he hasn't said anything about it, I couldn't tell you to be frank with you. Maybe with what I said before about how we don't know each other all that well, maybe he doesn't know that I'm not as straight as I may seem.

I may just be rambling in my head, but, oh well. The rambling will only make my shift seem shorter, and that makes things for everybody easier. I quietly chuckle to myself with that thought in my head.

Before I know it, another ten minutes has gone, and I go back to writing the report, finding that Ms. Memos was under a hallucination of sorts during a "vital festival" while fighting against Ms. Pinocchio, and theories lead to someone by the name of Emerald Zebra causing them using something called "semblance". During this fight, people also theorize that Ms. Memos might've thought that Ms. Pinocchio had more swords under her control than there were in reality. One thing lead to another, and Penny was "cut" for lack of a better word by the wires connecting her hands to the swords, being caused by Phyrra's semblance of polarity, and it was revealed to everyone that Penny was a... robot?!?! Am I reading this correctly?? Shortly after that, the Grimm broke through the force field that they had around the arena to prevent those attacks, and everyone scattered.

After that, Phyrra at some point went to battle Cinder, and unfortunately failed, and Cinder evaporated her into ashes of sorts... man, that's... that's pretty rough... and sad to say the least.

I was startled when I had been called into Roy Mustache's office, for what, I have no idea.

So I walk in, and I see Mr. Mustache sitting behind his desk, looking as if he was about to get married-wait is he actually?!!?

"Hello Mr. Dragneel. Nice to see you" he says to me, as if he's going to tell me the greatest news I'm ever going to get. "Nice to see you too Mr. Mustache" I reply back to him, wondering what he has to tell me.

"I have some news that you might like to hear," he starts off "I was talking to someone you may know." "And who might that be?" I question. "That person is Mr. Edward Elric."

I try to hide my excitement at the fact that I'll be working for my freaking CRUSH. "Okay," I respond "thank you." We shake hands cuz why not, I walk out of his office and feel that I really do deserve that neopolitan ice cream later... maybe I'll ask a certain someone to join me.

A/N: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH I finally got around to writing this chapter, and I finished it!! It's 1000 words give or take, just like the last chapter. While writing this book, I've decided that I'll try to make each chapter 1000 words or more, it gives it consistency and it helps so I'll know when I need to keep going, or when I can end it. So. That's that. Like I have said in my CroMa book, if you want me to update any book of your choice, please PLEASE let me know because I need to know what books you like and what ones you don't. Anyway, have fun with the rest of your day.

Bye bye!!
