Team up

Rogue panicked as he realized that Frosch's scent had grown stale. Trying to keep calm, he looked for Sting. He was probably still talking to Natsu's team, which had dropped by for a visit. Rogue bristled when he saw Gray was still there. He had had no reason to believe he wouldn't be, but it annoyed him nonetheless. Gray had a habit of trying to smuggle Frosch out of the guild, and though everyone insisted Gray had every intention of bringing her back, Rogue didn't have their confidence. It wasn't that he particularly distrusted Gray, more that he was concerned with Frosch's self preservation skills, or lack thereof.

"Have you guys seen Frosch? She was with Lector the last time I saw her, but she's gone." Rogue tried to keep any accusatory undertones out of his voice.

"Frosch is gone? Are you sure you checked everywhere?" Gray asked before Sting could answer.

"I'd be able to smell her if she was here!" Rogue hissed insistently. "I wanted to ask if you guys saw her before I panicked."

"Alright Rogue, calm down. We'll look for her. You guys don't mind helping out, do you?" Sting directed his question to Natsu's team.

"Sure man, I'll take Luce, Wendy can go with Erza, you go with Yukino. I guess that leaves Rogue and Gray." Natsu agreed quickly. Were Rogue not panicking, he would have questioned it.

Gray, however, did notice, but didn't comment on it. Clearly, if they were scheming to make him and Rogue, that meant Frosch was probably safe. He'd let Rogue know once they were out of earshot.

"Okay Rogue, let's go. Where's Frosch most likely to go?" Gray asked.

"The park. There's a pond with all these cool frogs." Rogue said after thinking for moment.

Unsurprisingly, Frosch was not at the park. Rogue seemed to be thinking up the next most likely location, but Gray stopped him.

"Hey, Rogue? Now that the others can't hear us, I've got to tell you something." Rogue looked up, apprehensive. "I'm pretty sure this is a set-up so we'll get along, so Frosch is probably safe, wherever she is."

"By who? Who would do that? Why?" Rogue uttered.

"Our teams, probably. Natsu was awfully quick to team us up, and Sting agreed on the spot. Isn't that suspicious?"

"Come to think of it, it was pretty strange. Those bastards! How could they do that to Frosch?" Rogue exclaimed.

"I understand that you're mad, it's a crappy thing to do to you. To both of you. But I think the only way to make sure it doesn't happen again is to play along." Gray suggested. He didn't dislike Rogue, but his protectiveness of Frosch, though understandable, was making him hard to get along with since he'd apparently decided Gray was a threat of some kind. If Gray could dispel that illusion, he thought the two of them would get along. "Now that we know Frosch is safe, we should kill some time so that they think we bought it. Then we meet up with the others at the guild and pretend to get along and they'll give Frosch back. Sound good?"

"Alright. Then what do we do? Do we pretend to look for Frosch?" Rogue asked.

"That's an option, if they're watching us. But you'd hear them if they were, so I don't think we need to. We can just sit back and find somewhere cool to relax for a couple of hours." Gray felt that even if the others had realized that they'd seen through them, they wouldn't interfere if it looked like he and Rogue were getting along.

"That makes sense but ...um, well ...your clothes." Gray realized that he was wearing his underwear and little else.

"When did that happen? Guess it's getting too hot here. Do you want to get some ice-cream? I'll pay." Gray deflected, rapidly picking up his clothes. Dragonslayers liked food. Rogue seemed to be no exception, as he agreed without hesitation. Gray felt a surge of worry for his wallet, but let it go. Rogue probably wasn't over the trick their teams had pulled on him, he deserved a treat.

Surprisingly enough Rogue hadn't gone overboard spending Gray's money, a concept even Wendy and Lucy struggled with. He had chosen a combination of mint-chocolate-chip, white chocolate and chocolate ice-cream in a portion that wouldn't cover the ice-cream man's entire retirement fund. Gray had chosen a mix of of mint-choc-chip and coffee.

"Don't worry. I'm freezing everyone's fridges solid for this." Gray said. Rogue chuckled, and Gray realized he had dimples. He took another bit of his ice-cream instead of thinking about it.

"Please tell me that includes Sting and Yukino. I'll let you into their apartment." Rogue offered mischievously. Gray decided not to remind him that he could duplicate their keys with his magic.

"Tonight?" He asked instead. Rogue nodded.

When they had finished their ice-cream, they went back to the park, as Rogue had offered to show Gray around town. At the pond Rogue pointed out the different species of frogs that lived there, looking far more open and excited than Gray had ever seen him. Gray had never known frogs could be so fascinating, not that he remembered most of what Rogue told him.

Awkwardly, Rogue tried to move on from the pond, a little embarrassed at how he had babbled on about the frogs. The only person that liked frogs as much as he did was Frosch. He had trouble remembering that other people weren't as interested in them. How had Gray managed to get him to let his guard down? Not an hour ago, he had rather disliked Gray, even though he had understood that that dislike was unfounded. To change his mind so quickly...

"Hey, Gray?" Rogue asked hesitantly.

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry for being a jerk before. You're actually pretty cool."

"Don't worry about it. I'm not always the most trustworthy either." He didn't want to fully admit that Rogue's worries weren't completly unfounded. Natsu had told him what had happened in the timeline Future Rogue had come from.

Rogue showed Gray around the city. It wasn't really a typical tour. Gray wasn't sure Rogue even knew what a typical tour was supposed to be like, but this was more fun anyway. The tour mostly consisted of Rogue showing Gray the places he thought were cool, like the shaded spot under a bridge, safe from the sun's rays, or the place where the roof of the Gazania University auditorium overlapped with the shadow of a tree, granting them a beautiful view of half the city while staying cool. There was also a bakery that made excellent tiramisu, and an abandoned church in the woods just outside of town. The stained glass windows cast beautiful lights on the stone floors, and they shifted as the breeze outside moved the leaves of the trees outside.

It was probably time they returned to Sabertooth, and though Rogue couldn't wait to see Frosch again, he was sad that his afternoon with Gray was over. But after his past behavior towards Gray, it wasn't like Rogue could just ask...

"Hey Rogue, I had fun, despite the whole trick thing. Do you want to do this again, when our idiot teammates aren't interfering?" Gray asked. Rogue felt his face heat up instantly and mumbled in agreement.

They entered the guildhall together.

"Hey guys! We found Frosch. She was with Minerva!" Sting said, his eye twitching like it usually did when he was hiding something. If he believed his years-long friendship with Rogue or Minerva's involvement would keep him safe from retribution, he had another thing coming. For now, Rogue let him think he'd gotten away with it.

"Frosch! Thank goodness you're safe!" Rogue didn't mention being worried, not wanting Frosch to feel guilty. Gray walked over to his team and smiled at Rogue. As they left, Gray mouthed 'See you at midnight'. Rogue wondered what it would take to get Gray to add Minerva to the revenge list.

One of the funniest things about enemies-to-lovers ships is how they’re almost always obsessed with each other. Like if a character actively chooses to interact with another character over and over again instead of simply ignoring them? Throw darts at it all you want, but you still printed out a picture of them to hang on your wall

while frustrating, the funniest response to historical erasure of same sex couples is people wildly overcorrecting and assuming any interaction between two men in history was a secret homosexual relationship covered up by Big Historian. i saw someone on r/sapphoandherfriend sincerely ask if Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were lovers.

#no bestie they were not #😭 they HATED each other #though iirc they chilled out later on in life #i dont doubt that there are enemies to lovers hamilton fanfics out there #but like. no. they were not in a gay relationship.

in internet posts it is easy to cut them out of your life. they are hurting you! they aren't listening to you!

they held your hair back. they lent you lipstick. they held your hand at the train station and got you home safe. they rounded on your bully, got loud, said get fucked, spitting-mad in your defense.

they also cut the hair off again. told you that you should really think twice before wearing something like that. took you for granted. took your insecurities and threw them in your face again.

you know logically it should be easy. all the internet advice comments always read it will feel better. like an equation - if a person is rotten, you just remove them. you pull the tooth that's hurting.

but it was never a big flare-up moment. you don't live in a sitcom. they never tried to take your boyfriend or steal from your apartment. they showed up to birthdays and they wrote songs about you and bring you water without you asking. once you found out they carry an emergency inhaler for you, even though you haven't had an asthma attack in years - just in case.

where is the line? people fuck up. sometimes they fuck up badly. sometimes people have raw personalities, like a powerline, and being around them is dangerous. addicting. sometimes they can't help themselves, but you know they're trying. sometimes they are just rough-around-the-edges. sometimes they don't even realize how they sounded when they said that. sometimes it's just - you've both loved each other for so long now, the way this thing hurts goes back to the root.

and that's the fucked up part. you have pushed your fingers against the sweetheart of memory. things these days are electric, tense, harrowing. they didn't used to be. there were a lot of good days in there. sometimes you want to just close your eyes and say can this be over yet? do we still need to be fighting?

doing that would give up any chance you get of getting an apology, but you don't always know that you need an apology, you love them. once they flaked on your birthday party. once they told you to get over it, people are always dying. they also let you crash on their couch for a week after the breakup, handfeeding you when you were so sad you couldn't eat. they are also judgmental about everything, occasionally react to banal statements with an attitude that is weird and fiery. they also love you like a lighthouse sometimes, so strong they cut the storm like lightning.

but the problem is that you might be storm. you might be the thing that needs breaking. what if you are two forces who are desperately, horribly drawn to each other, shaped by the other person's passions, and both good for each other and bad in equal measure.

what if you're both just people, and you're no saint neither.

just cut them off! swallowing the saltwater, you catch yourself in the mirror. you've been shaking more than usual. there's an ache in you that is oblique, loud, impossible to soothe. is this what it looks like? when life is "easier"?

your mouth will always have a hole, is the thing, if you remove the tooth.

#spilled ink #warm up #writeblr #this is about someone specific but feel free to blorbo on main.#tbh this is familial for me so that is an element but it's also about childhood best friends #and probably about ur enemies to lovers blorbo #(but i want to specifically say if ur partner is like this. not necessarily a good partnership lol.)#(the dynamics at play in familial/friend relationships feel equally important and in some ways are HARDER to escape.#bc we can see that this is a potentially toxic romantic foundation.#but in family ? ...... it's toxic and it doesn't stop u from loving them. bc u always have.#and i think that makes it harder. by a lot. which is what this is referencing).#but genuinely and really truly forever feel free to tag ur potentially toxic enemies to lovers on this and all my poetry #here i'll do one for u - adora & catra :x
