Best Friends

"Lucyyyyyyy," a fire Dragon Slayer whined.

"Natsuuuuuuu," a celestial wizard whined.

"I'm…"

"So…"

"BOREDDDDDD!" the two mages said together.

It was just another day at the guild, Lucy and Natsu were sitting at the bar with their heads down, completely bored out of their minds.

Mirajane chuckled at her friends. "Aww, that's so cute! You guys even finish each other's sentences!"

They picked up their heads. "Huh?" they said.

"I just find it so sweet how close you two are!" Mirajane explained. "It's like you know everything about each other!"

Lucy snorted. "Oh, please! Natsu hardly knows himself. What makes you think he knows anything about me?"

"Yeah!" Natsu agreed. "And Lucy always has her nose stuck in some boring book so she never pays attention to me! That's why I can eat all her food without her noticing," he said with a wide grin.

"No I'm not!" Lucy argued. "And that was you?! I yelled at Happy for that!"

"See! What did I tell you?!"

"That's such a lie! I know tons about you!"

"Oh, yeah? Well then prove it!"

"How?"

"Make me a sandwich," he suggested.

"Idiot!" she said, bonking him on the head. "That won't prove anything!"

"It'll prove that you can make a sandwich! Isn't that what friendship is about?!"

Lucy sighed. She couldn't believe she was actually best friends with this idiot.

Mira cleared her throat. "I know how you can prove it," she said sweetly.

Uh-oh. This can't be good, Lucy thought.

"Is this really necessary?" Lucy asked for the tenth time.

She was standing in front of the mirror. She looked absolutely ridiculously clad in Natsu's clothes. The trousers were too big for her and the vest was extremely exposing. She had to keep it shut with a safety pin.

"Of course it is!" Mirajane told her. "If you're going to pretend to be Natsu, you have to play the part."

"I get that. But do I really have to dress like him?"

"It'll help you get in character," she said with a grin.

"How do I even get myself into these situations?" Lucy cried dramatically to herself.

"Now, now," Mirajane cooed, "everything will be fine. I promise! Please stop crying. Uhh, you too, Juvia!" When did she get here?!

"Juvia will not allow Lucy to outcry her!" Juvia said while flooding the room with her tears.

Mirajane dragged the two crying girls back to the guild hall. Lucy immediately stopped crying when she saw Natsu, only to burst out crying again, but this time they were tears of laughter.

"NATSU!" she screeched between laughs, her hands clutching her stomach. "You. Look. So. RIDICULOUS!"

Natsu was dressed in one of her skirts and tank top. His hair was in pigtails and he had makeup plastered all over his face.

"What are you talking about, Luce?" Natsu snorted. "I look great! I finally understand why you wear these things; they're so breezy!" he said, gesturing to his skirt.

Natsu didn't understand why Lucy kept howling. Then again, she was a weirdo.

Gray strolled up to them in that moment. "Yo, Natsu. Finally came out of the closet, I see," he snickered.

"Whattaya talking about, Gray? I was never in any closet!"

Gray facepalmed. "I swear, you're so stupid it's not even funny."

"YOU TRYING TO START SOMETHING, POPSICLE STICK?!" Natsu yelled, bumping his forehead against Gray's.

"LET'S GO, FLAME PRINCESS."

"A-hem," Mirajane coughed. "Remember who you are, Natsu."

"Oh. Right. Dammit!" Natsu cursed and backed off.

"What's the matter, Flamebreath? Are you scared?" Gray taunted him.

Natsu ignored him.

"Oi!" Gray grabbed him by the collar. "Finish what you started!"

"He can't, Gray," Lucy intervened. "He's pretending to be me."

"Wha-? Is that why he's dressed in those clothes?" Lucy nodded. "Wait, so does that mean..?" he trailed off, looking at her clothes.

"I'm Natsu? Yes. Sadly."

"BAHAHAHAHAHA! Man, you guys just don't know when to quit!"

Natsu was getting fed up. "Lucy! I-I mean, Natsu! Kick his ass!"

"What?!" Lucy screeched. "Uh-uh. No way!"

"But you have toooooo! The real Natsu never backs down from a fight!"

"You're crazy if you think I'm going to fight Gray!"

"Aw, come one," Gray said to Lucy. "It'll be fun." He took a battle stance, gathering up his ice magic in his palms.

"I said NO!"

Natsu sighed and held up his hands in a what-can-you-do fashion. "Welp, I guess that means you really don't know me after all."

Lucy gritted her teeth. On one hand, she didn't want to lose to Natsu. But on the other hand, she really didn't want to become a frozen statue.

In the end, the thought of losing to Natsu won.

"Fine!" she humphed. "Open! Gate of the-"

"Uh-uh-uh," Mira tsked. "Natsu uses Dragon Slayer magic, remember?

"You've got to be kidding me! How am I suppose to fight Gray when I can't even use Natsu's magic?!"

"Here, Lucy!" Happy said as he flew over her.

"Wha? A flamethrower? Close enough!" She blasted Gray with the full force of the flamethrower at the same moment that he shot her with ice magic.

"MWUAHAHAHAHA!" Lucy laughed maniacally. They were pretty even, but soon the flamethrower was out.

"Uh-oh," Lucy said as the flamethrower was exhausted. She ducked out of the way of Gray's ice magic, landing roughly on the ground. What she failed to realize was that Erza had been standing right behind her and that Gray's ice shot was heading right towards her.

Being Erza, she deflected the move easily.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Erza barked.

Remember, I'm Natsu, Lucy thought to herself.

Lucy strode right up to Erza. "ERZA! FIGHT ME!"

Erza looked at her blonde friend as if she had just lost her mind. Which, in a way, she kind of did.

"Umm…Natsu…" Mirajane said cautiously, "I don't think that's a good idea…"

Sure Lucy wanted to win but this was just suicidal.

"Happy, flamethrower!"

"Aye, sir!"

Lucy caught the new flamethrower and pointed it to Erza. "Prepare yourself, for I am the Almighty-"

Erza didn't even give her time to finish, she knocked her out in .2 seconds flat. Lucy laid on the ground all crippled and delusional.

"-Dragon…Slayer…" she coughed.

"Guess she really does know Natsu!" Gray laughed. "But how well does Natsu know Lucy?"

They all turned their attention to the real Natsu. He was sitting down. With a book.

…

"HOLY FUCK. NATSU CAN READ?!" Gray yelled.

Erza's eyes were practically popping out. "This is all my fault! Please, someone hit me!"

Lucy sat up. "He really does know me!" she exclaimed tearfully.

Mirajane laughed. "Well, I think you've both shown that you know each other pretty well, but we still haven't decided who knows who best."

"Yeah, that's true," Lucy said glumly.

"Ooo, I know!" Mirajane cheered, clapping her hands together. "If you truly know a person, then you must know their deepest secret!"

Lucy's face flushed hotter than the sun. "Eep!" she squeaked. "No-no-no-no-no, I don't think that's really necessary, Mira."

"You want to win, don't you?" Mira said rather darkly.

"Well…yes…but I don't really think that-"

"Well then it's settled!" Mira interrupted her. She pushed her two victims together, making them face each other. "On the count of three, you'll both shout out each other's deepest secret! Ready?"

"Wait, do we really have to-" Lucy began.

"One…"

"C'mon, Luce. Don't be such a baby!"

"Two…"

"Ugh, fine, whatever!"

"Three!"

"I love Natsu but I'm too afraid to admit it!" Natsu yelled.

"I love Lucy but I'm too afraid to admit it!" Lucy yelled.

The pair looked at each other, blushing profusely.

"Am I right?" Natsu asked her in a low voice, his face close to hers.

"Y-Yeah…am I?" Lucy felt like she was going to faint.

"What do you think?" he said, and then he leaned in to kiss her.

Lucy's heart felt like it was going to explode from all the joy she felt right now. Natsu was kissing her! He was actually kissing her! She wrapped her arms around him, her fingers getting lost within his spiky, soft hair.

"Well this sucks. I was hoping for something we already didn't know," Gray said in a disappointed tone. Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Lucy broke apart, suddenly remembering where they were. "Shut up, Gray!"

"Hey, Lucy," Natsu said, getting her attention. "What's this say?" he asked, pointing to some words in the book he had been reading.

"Oh, that?" she squinted. "That says…The End!"

Well, there you have it! I had too much fun writing that XD and I hope you had as much fun reading it! Review and let me know! Or don't, and keep me wondering for the rest of my life. D:

Until next time!
