Summary: All Natsu wanted was to go on a date, not deal with Gray's meltdown at the office. Modern/AU
Blue (Rated T)
Natsu absolutely hated waiting in Gray's office at Fairy Tail before they went on their dates. But here he was anyway, floppily lounging in an armchair while his boyfriend tapped away at that damn laptop. The pinkette truly believed that if that small computer was alive, Gray would marry it and have semi-robotic children with it.
Growing impatient, Natsu turned his head toward his boyfriend, completely ready to argue that he spent more time with a damn piece of technology than him. But the look on Gray's face halted any words that would have passed from his lips.
Gray stared at his laptop in disbelief before looking as if he'd just discovered the world would end within the next few minutes.
"You okay, Gray? You look a little…well, pale." Pale was an understatement.
"No," Gray said quietly. It came out in a rasp whisper. "You can't do this to me!"
Gray bolted from his seat and stared at his laptop again, but this time he looked like he was about to cry.
Hesitantly, Natsu got up from the armchair—while keeping his berth wide—as he approached the desk. Glancing at the laptop, he noticed that the screen was blue. He knew his question would be stupid, but he had to ask. "Why's your screen blue?"
"BECAUSE IT'S THE FUCKING BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!" Gray roared, tugging at his hair. "This can't be happening. My whole life is on this thing!"
Natsu really found that hard to believe for a normal person. But Gray was far from normal. "Can't you just click something to fix it?"
"Click something? Click something? Don't you have any idea what this means?" he raged.
"I would if you fucking told me instead of screaming at a stupid piece of technology!" the pinkette quipped.
That sent Gray over the deep end. He grabbed his laptop and chucked it.
Not at Natsu.
Not even at a wall.
But through the window.
With a furious crash, the window shattered into hundreds of pieces while the poor laptop plummeted from the top story of Fairy Tail.
A few seconds later, they both seemed to realize what happened and rushed over to the broken window, peering over the edge as the laptop fell.
"Please don't kill anyone," Gray kept whispering under his breath. And when the laptop crashed on the sidewalk—scaring the living hell out of everyone on the street below in the process—he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"You know, you probably could have taken it to an expert to fix that blue screen thingy," stated Natsu matter-of-factly.
"If you don't shut up, I'm throwing you out the window next."
Natsu crossed his arms and huffed. Gray could get so pissy sometimes. "Can we go on our date now?"
