Hey! In honor of Dragonslayer week, I wrote this little drabble for the prompt "Natsu". It's short and not very good, but in my defense I was short on time.
Title: The Best Birthday
Words: 529
Summary: Lucy yells at Natsu, making him pouty. But it was all for good reason.
When Lucy got home, the first thing she saw was pink. She stumbled and fell onto the owner of the salmon pink hair.
As she got up, anger began to radiate off of her. Not only was Natsu in her house, he had fallen asleep right in front of her door.
He stirred, opening his eyes. He grinned. "Oh hey Luce, what's up?"
"NATSU YOU IDIOTIC DRAGONSLAYER, GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" she screamed, kicking him in the head.
He winced. "Ouch, come on. You know that hurts my ears."
"LIKE I CARE IDIOT! GET OUT!"
Natsu pouted. "Geez, fine."
He slunk out the door, not hesitating to look back at her to check if she was serious. She seethed. He slunk away.
She closed the door. "I hope he didn't see the surprise I had planned..."
Natsu sat at the guild, pouting. Mira handed a drink to Macao before walking to him.
"What's up, Natsu?"
"Lucy kicked me out..." he complained.
"...but she always does..." Mira responded, sweatdropping.
"Yeah...but she was being mean. And Happy wasn't there to defend me..."
"...which always happens."
Natsu made an irritated noise. "I know..."
Mira laughed. "Go again in a few hours. Maybe she'll have cooled off?"
Natsu nodded. "Thanks." he answered. Mira shook her head and walked away.
A few hours later, Natsu entered through Lucy's window. He smelled something really nice cooking. He grinned. Maybe she wants to apologize for being so harsh, he thought.
Lucy entered the room, but before he said anything, she grinned and brought out the cake from behind her back. "Happy Birthday, Natsu." she told him.
His jaw dropped. "It's my...you remembered?!"
She laughed. "Of course, idiot. How could I forget?"
"Well you seemed pretty mad at me..."
Lucy set down the cake. "I'm sorry for yelling at you, Natsu. I thought you might've seen something that would ruin the surprise..."
Natsu gaped. Lucy? Apologizing for yelling at him? He tackle-hugged her. Lucy yelped in surprise.
"Thanks, Luce." Lucy laughed.
"Of course, Natsu."
Natsu woke up the next morning. He realized he felt really comfortable. He glanced to his right.
Had Lucy let him sleep over last night?!
He grinned, playing with her hair. Best birthday ever.
Quite a few hours later, having had breakfast at Lucy's, gotten yelled at by her, and found Happy, Natsu proceeded to the guild. To his amazement, Mira had set out a big feast.
"Happy birthday!" he heard.
"To be honest, you should thank Lucy." Mira admitted. "I knew your birthday was soon but I forgot the date..."
Natsu grinned. "Best. Birthday. Ever!" he shouted. All the guild members feasted. Then they fought. He got some good hits on Gray and Gajeel too.
"That's enough!" Erza shouted.
"Yes ma'am!" everyone said, grimacing.
Natsu laughed with his family. The only thing that could make this birthday better would be...
"Hey Natsu, I found a job that involves beating up a dark guild. Wanna go?" Lucy asked, walking over. Natsu jumped up and pumped his fist.
"LET'S GO!" he shouted. "I'M ALL FIRED UP!"
Wow this is bad. It's probably not even his birthday... *clears throat* Um, thank you for reading!
