I don't make any profit from this story. It's purely just for fun.

"Wendy, I'm home."

"Welcome home, Natsu." Wendy greeted. "So, how was it? Any luck for today?"

"Luck my ass. Why does everybody often think I'm a girl?! Are they so against pink haired guy?" Natsu flopped on the couch.

"Hahaha. Maybe they're just jealous because your hair is beautiful." Wendy said while preparing their dinner. "Here's your dinner."

"Thanks, Wendy." Natsu took the plate and started eating. "That stupid old man, leaving without saying anything with taking all of my secret savings. And how did he know I hid the money under the table. Geez..."

"Well, it can't be helped. Dad is always like that, isn't he? He just has that radar of money." Wendy sat down next to her big brother. "But I agree, this time it's just too much. Leaving us for more than 3 months already."

"Yeah..."

'Tomorrow I need to try harder on finding a job.'

.

.

.

"Natsu, I'm going to school."

"Okay. Take care, Wendy. I too, will be leaving soon."

"... You know... I really wish... I could be any help to you and get a job too. It's just not fair I'm getting all the educations while you're not."

Natsu saw his little sister and smiled. "Your job is to go to school and study hard for your future. We may be poor and it's already too late for me. But it's not too late for you, Wendy. I'll make sure to have you graduated until university."

Wendy hesitated but then smiled as well. "Thank you, big brother." She hugged Natsu. "By the way, are you okay wearing mom's sweater almost everyday? Maybe you need to buy a real male sweater this time. You even only have three pairs of male clothes."

"Naah. It's fine. I'd rather save the money for something more important than buy new clothes. It's comfortable to sometimes wear mom's clothes. Makes me always remember of her. Not all of her clothes are too girly anyway."

"Well, if you say so. Good luck in finding a job then." Wendy waved good bye.

.

.

.

"I was so cool saying all those things to Wendy, but... " Natsu kicked a pebble. "Why is it so damn hard to get a job just because of my appearance and pink hair?!"

Without him realizing, it's already dark. And still, no luck came that day. Natsu wandered around the city, refusing to come home just yet. He wasn't ready to face Wendy empty handed again. Sighing, he gave up and finally decided to go back.

On his way back, the pink haired saw some teenage girls got out from a café.

'A café? Why not give it a try? It's not like I'm gonna be accepted anyway. Haha...'

CLINK. CLINK.

"Sorry, but we're closing already." A white haired girl said behind the counter with her back facing Natsu.

"Ah no, I'm not a customer. I'm just wondering if you're in any need of employees or not." Natsu asked.

The white haired girl turned around and faced Natsu. It took a few minutes for her to look at every inches of Natsu's appearance while muttering something like 'perfect' word. After finished examining, she smiled. "Actually, yes, one of our employees has just got married and retired a week ago. But we need a full-timer from 8 am until 10 pm. What's your name, by the way? How rude of me."

"My name is Natsu. And sure, I can work full time."

"Nice to meet you, Natsu. I'm Mirajane, the manager of this café." She shook her hand with Natsu's. "Are you sure you can work full time? What about your school?"

Natsu scratched his head, embarrassed. "Umm... Well... Because of... this and that, I don't go to school. Haha..."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Because you look so young and some of our employees are university students around your age." Mirajane then bent down to take a set of folded clothes. "Here's another term. We have our own uniform which you have to wear everyday. So, before you really agree to work here, you might want to take a look at the uniform first."

"O... kay?" Natsu took the uniform and unfolded it.

"Some people thinks it's kinky, but personally I think it's cute." Mirajane giggled.

"..."

'What the heck is... this?'

"How is it? It's cute, isn't it? I think it matches your pink hair beautifully."

Black as the dominant color and white as the color of the apron. Black flat shoes and white long stocking reaching the knee, not forgetting a black lace choker. Those would really make a perfect combination with pink color.

But the problem was...

It's a maid uniform. A skirt.

A frickin' super short skirt.

Scratch that.

The problem was, the uniform is too much revealing.

Double scratch that.

The problem was, the stocking seemed too tight.

"..."

Scratch all those stupid things! The REAL problem was-

"But I'm a... boy..."

.

.

.

"Mira, I'm finished with cleaning the kitchen." Another girl came out from the kitchen. "Oh? Who's this? A new employee?"

"Uhm, Cana, actually…" Mirajane tried to explain.

"Not bad. You're pretty. And that pink hair of yours is beautiful too." Cana smirked while examining a frozen Natsu who was still staring in disbelief at the uniform. "Let's approve her!"

"But, Cana..." Mirajane exhaled. "She is a boy."

"..."

"What?"

"I'm a boy."

The two girls looked at Natsu. It was one of the most awkward moment those three had in their whole life.

"Natsu, I'm sorry. I thought you're a girl." Mirajane finally broke the silence. "This is a maid café, so our employees are all girls. We can't accept boys. Or so the owners said."

"But I... really need a job right now. I need the money to pay my sister's school fee and our house rent." Natsu pleaded. "I think I've come to almost every places around the city in these three months and they all... rejected me as soon as they saw me."

"Sorry, kiddo. Rules are rules." Cana said. "But you really got me there. It's too bad. The payment here is high, though."

Cana then explained about the payment process, how they got paid counted from how many hours they worked in a month. The longer they worked, the higher the payment. And the payment for one hour itself was high enough. Imagine if Natsu were about to work full time six days a week. Just how much money could he get? It should be enough for Wendy's monthly school fee and paying the house rent after a few months working.

"So that's it. Sorry but you can't work here. Unless... you're willing to become a girl. Hahahaha." Cana teased.

"Cana! Stop it! Don't tease him anymore! " Mirajane scolded the brown haired girl. "I'm sorry again, Natsu. But we too, have to reject you."

"... I'll do it..."

"Pardon?"

"I'll do it!" Natsu suddenly shouted. "I'm willing to become a girl!"

Mirajane hesitated. "But we can't-

"Please!" The pink haired boy bowed down. "I really need the money. So, please... I'll do anything. Even if it means I have to become a girl."

"Ahahaha! Amusing!" Cana laughed so hard. "Just let him try, Mira. It doesn't hurt to try, right? I'm so excited to see how it's gonna be. This is the first time we have this kind of interesting situation."

"T-thank you, Miss Cana!" Natsu said.

"Just Cana. I'm that that old, you brat." Cana ruffled Natsu's hair. "So, what do you say, manager? Is it a 'yes'?"

With two puppy dogs' eyes in front of her, Mirajane finally sighed. "Okay, yes. You win."

"Thank you! Thank you very much!" Natsu bowed down for several times. "You don't know how much I really appreciate this! You both save my life!"

"Enough with the thanking, kiddo." Cana took the uniform and smirked evilly. "Let's try this right now. So we can help you and teach you how to wear it."

"Eh? R-right now?" Natsu asked.

"No. Next year. Of course now, you brat! You're gonna start to work tomorrow morning!" Cana pulled the confused pink hair into the locker room. "Now... Be a good boy, I mean girl, and let big sister teach you how to dress yourself. Fufufu..."

And then a not-so-manly scream could be heard from the café.

.

.

.

"Aaaw~! You're so cute, Natsu!" Mirajane said in excitement. She totally forgot the fact that Natsu's a boy. "Just as I thought, black and white fit your pink hair so well!"

Natsu was having a hard time pulling down his – her – skirt. "C-can I have a longer skirt? I think this one is too short, isn't it?"

"Shush! It fits you perfectly. And we don't have longer skirt." Cana was admiring her 'work'. "You really make a cute girl, Natsu. This way, no one would ever expect you as a boy. Hahaha!"

"... I don't know if I should be happy or sad with that comment of yours. Haha..." Natsu laughed dryly.

"Okay. So, it's decided. Come here tomorrow at 7.30 am. You can put your uniform inside that locker of yours and change there in the morning." Mira explained.

"Yes, ma'am!" Natsu nodded eagerly. "I'm gonna change my clothes now."

"Wait!" Cana suddenly came and brought something with her. "Finishing touch!" She attached pink haired wig on Natsu's head. "It's not much, just a simple short haired wig. But it will make you look more girly. Now you're ready to work!"

And so, Natsu's journey began. Erm... Natsu's new job began.

Author's Note: I couldn't help but posting this new story. Again, the warning, if you don't like it, don't read then. Simple, right? Hehe.

I saw Mashima draws Natsu and Gray as women, and then this idea randomly popped from my weird brain. I've been wanting to write boys love story because Natsu and Gray are just too cute with each other. (Yes, I like straight-pairing, but also boys-love) *fangirl-squee* And if you wonder what kind of wig Natsu's wearing, just search for the picture Mashima draws, plus maid uniform. *I'msorryNatsu* First time writing this kind of story, so please don't kill me for trying. The main idea of course is from manga 'Kaichou wa Maid-Sama'. It's a very cute manga, I say. But the story won't be following the manga itself. Hahaha.

Thank you for everyone who read, fave, and review on my story. I accept every critiques and inputs for this story progress. I'll try to keep every characters to their own personality.

Sorry for the typos, wrong grammars, bad spellings, etc.; English is not my mother language.
