It's Complicated

Chapter 5: Train Troubles

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.
