Special...yes; Ordinary...Probably Not

Depression Then Laughter

Scarlet woke up and noticed Gray's head was still on her lap. He was passed out. She smiled at him looking so peaceful.

It's really funny how he is always so tense when hes awake. But when he's sleeping he seems relax. I guess that's just Gray for you. Scarlet thought.

"Hey what are you staring at?" She was wrapped from her thoughts what Lucy spoke. "You gotta crush?"

Scarlet blushed and looked down to hide it, "n-no."

"Sure. I noticed the way you were looking at him. It's also all over you face whenever he is around. And I saw that you blushed."

If only Gray could be awake right now. He is so much better at lying than me. Scarlet thought.

"Shut up, what about you and Ethan?" Scarlet changed the subject.

"Well..."

Scarlet smiled, "you like him."

"Well you like Gray."

Scarlet was about to say that they were dating, but decided against it. She played it off like they weren't dating and that Grau didn't know she liked him. "You tell Gray, I tell Ethan, got it?"

"Black mail? Seriously you know how much I hate it."

"Considering you did it to both Ethan and me, you don't like it when its not you doing it," Scarlet pointed out.

"Isn't that how its always is?" Gray muttered as he shifted to get more comfortable.

"Yeah I guess."

Lucy went wide eyed, "did you hear what we were talking about?"

"Uhh...no. Only that you have a crush on Ethan and Scarlet has a crush on me. Thats all."

"Oh okay. Wait what?!?!"

Gray laughed, "don't worry Lucy I won't tell. As long as you keep a secret and not tell anyone else."

"Sure," Lucy said, still horrified.

"That Scarlet and I are dating."

"Really?" The horror was gone and was filled with excitement.

"Yep."

All of Gray's words have been slurred, so Lucy really didn't trust Gray. She looked at Scarlet who was just nodding.

Gray sighed. His words still slurred, "you know, just because my words are all slurred doesn't mean I don't know what I am saying."

"You do realize that you are practically drunk when you first wake up?" Scarlet asked.

He shrugged, "maybe."

She rolled her eyes, smiling.

Lucy laughed and asked, "hey Gray what would you do if Scarlet wanted a house that was really expensive and she wanted to live there with you?"

Gray laughed, "well I would say get the fuck over it you are not getting that house. You are shit out of luck. And I would also hang up a picture of the house in front of our bed, so when she wakes up in a small cheap house she will be reminded of the house that she will never get."

"Seriously?" Lucy asked and looked at Scarlet, "dump him. He's not worth it."

Scarlet laughed and said, "I don't think that's how it's gonna be there Gray."

"I was joking, sorta," Gray said, "this is what I would probably end up doing, work. To save up money to buy the house."

"You're sweet! I have never seen you so sweet before," Lucy teased. "You acn really be sweet once all the sarcasm is gone! I love it when you are sweet!"
