Ugh. Geez. What time is it?

I adjusted myself to be more comfortable but felt something on my shoulder. Forcing my eyes open, I slightly turned my head to look. Crap. I gaped my mouth to say something but then closed it again. I wanted to stood up and get the hell out of here but I JUST couldn't. She was snuggling me, holding my right arm while her head was pleasantly nestled on my shoulder. I tried to squirm my way out but each time I did, she just snuggled closer. Blood rushed through my face, I felt hot. Very hot. I tried yet again to struggle free, but she gripped my arm tighter and cornered me to the edge. I breathed slowly trying to calm myself down. In my mind, I debated whether or not to wake her up. A large part of me says "yes", though at the back of my mind... sigh. Giving up at the thought, I sat quietly and placed my free elbow on the window pane. I felt her moved slightly, must be adjusting herself to be in a better position. Her warm breath made me all jumpy inside. I drifted my thoughts to another, trying so hard to brush off the feeling.

"...pink... panda." I heard her mutter under her breath. I looked back, but she was still asleep.

Sigh. She's such a child. An unusual child might I add. I carefully brushed off a few strands of hair out of her face, unconsciously smiling to myself.

"Gray, what are you doing?"

I looked up to see Lyon smirking. I stiffened, randomly looking sideways then back to him in a continuous manner. This is awkward, it's as if I've been found red-handed for a crime I had just committed.

"T-This is not! I mean.. Ah! W-wait!" I started stuttering.

Lyon just stared at me with a you've-just-been-found-out-bro kind of face. What the hell is that suppose to mean?!

"Ahhh! Damn it! Just wake up already!" I shouted struggling free.

"....five more minutes." Elizabeth replied in a sleepy voice snuggling even more.

"E-Elizabeth stop that!" I ordered her.

"...hmm..."

She just went back to sleep! Ahhh! Wake up! Wake up! I tried to get my arm loose from her grip. Lyon had been silently laughing in his seat. Obviously amused by what he's seeing. I could also sense that every passenger in the train had been looking in our direction for quite some time now. Probably because of me shouting frantically like it was my last day on earth.

"Elizabeth! Wake up!"

"To all the passengers, we will be arriving in Gardenia in five minutes." The conductor announced, briefly grabbing my attention.

I turned back to the supposedly sleeping girl awhile ago to find her gone from her position and was now sitting with Lyon. She's just sitting there... with a blank expression on her face, as if nothing happened. What. The. Actual. Hell. I tried myself to be calm, though I find that task rather impossible as of the moment. I gritted my teeth and balled my hands into fist, about to go berserk. I was about to tell her it was rude to sleep on other people's shoulder and wake up without even saying a word, when Erza came in dragging a worn out Natsu by the collar. Wow. He looks so... broken. Must be from all that vomiting he went through. I feel kinda sorry for him.

"Gray, you'll be in charge of Natsu." Erza ordered. "Lyon, Elizabeth and I will take care of our things."

The train came to a full stop; Erza along with the other two went on first, leaving me with Natsu. The dragon slayer laid down on the seat across mine, noisily pouring out his sorrows into the cushion. Sigh. Why am I stuck with this idiot?
