"NATSU!"

"NATSU HURRY UP!"

A young boy was running towards the park at high speed bound and determined to make it before his sitter did, "I'M GONNA BEAT YOU THIS TIME NATSU!"

Natsu chuckled, "whatever you say squirt" he took off running after the small boy hearing him squeal in excitement as Natsu caught up to him.

He picked the boy up and threw him over his shoulder, "so what was that about beating me?" he laughed when the boy simply pouted, "I'll beat you someday Natsu…"

Natsu set the boy down and ruffled his black hair, "I'm sure you will if you keep that attitude Romeo." the seven-year-old boy smiled big at his sitter, "come on buddy, lets head to the park." Natsu smiled holding his hand out for Romeo to take and the two continued their walk.

As soon as the park came into view, Romeo took off straight for the swings. Natsu chuckled at the young boy's antics before moving to sit on a bench while he watched Romeo rocking his feet back and forth to get his swing started. He was slightly startled when he was suddenly joined by another person, "watching Romeo today fire breath?"

Natsu scowled looking to his right to see his frenemy Gray, "course I am frosty what else would I be doin'?"

Gray tsked, "you going to the building today?"

Natsu looked back at Romeo who moved on to making sand castles with another little boy, "yea, Macao just had a job interview to go to this morning and needed someone to watch Romeo for him." Natsu looked back at Gray, "why ain't you at your shop yet?"

Gray yawned, stretching his arms above his head, "Erza should already be there." he brought his arms back down to rest along the back of the bench.

Natsu shuddered, "I still don't get what you see in that devil woman…" Gray merely shrugged his shoulders giving Natsu a cheeky grin, "how'd that date with Laura go?" Gray wiggled his eyebrows in a suggestive way causing Natsu to roll his eyes, "shitty…"

Gray immediately frowned, "that bad?"

Natsu sighed, "let's just say she has a few screws loose in the upstairs department…"

Gray immediately started laughing while clutching his stomach, "e-ex-explain!" he huffed out between laughs, "well, that crazy chick started talkin' about conspiracies and UFO'S and how apparently the government planted little tracking devices in everybody's brains…" Natsu stuck his tongue out making a bleh sound, "apparently she was tryin' ta 'save' me from corruption…shoulda known she was nuts when she came in askin' for private lessons and only with me."

Gray laughed even harder, "AHAHAHAAHAHAHA! OH MY GOD THIS IS PRICELESS!"

Natsu pouted before reaching over and punching Gray hard on the arm, "OI! Shut up ice dick, how the hell was I supposed to know?! Besides…she was hot…" Natsu pouted crossing his arms over his chest and shoving his face into his white scaled scarf.

Gray composed himself, wiping the tears from his eyes and retaliated with a punch of his own and slumped back against the bench, "maybe it was the fact that she was a brunette," he pointed at Natsu, "I've told ya you got a thing for blondes but you neeeever listen." he chuckled a little when Natsu glared at him but didn't make a move to argue with him so Gray knew he was right, "how's the old man?" Gray asked steering the conversation to a different subject.

Natsu looked back to where Romeo was, still playing in the sandbox, "he's alright. Always tired after his treatments though."

Gray hummed, "eh, don't worry about it bro," he dropped a hand on Natsu's shoulder, "Igneel's too stubborn to let a little cancer slow him down."

Natsu scoffed running a hand through his oddly colored pink hair, "course he is, that old man is still a pain in my ass even when he's sicker than a dog. Always harpin' on me about finding a woman and giving him grandchildren n' shit, annoying as hell."

Gray chuckled one more time before he stood and stretched, "I better get to the shop before Erza kills me, wanna grab some lunch with us later?" he brought his fist out and Natsu bumped it with his own, "yea sure, come by the gym around noon. We can hit up Fairy Tail." Natsu answered

"Sounds good," Gray started to walk away, "oh and by the way Erza told me Mira hired a new girl at the restaurant," Gray looked over his shoulder, "and she's bloooooonde~."

"DAMN IT! YOU'RE JUST AS BAD AS THE OLD GEEZER!" Natsu yelled at Gray's back who just laughed and waved at the fuming male.

Natsu mumbled curses under his breath and turned his attention back to the playground.

He watched the kids play for a while before his mind began to wonder to what Gray had said before he left, "…blonde huh…" Natsu whispered and then immediately shook his head to clear his thoughts, "that damn icicle, gettin' under my skin…" Natsu sighed before looking at Romeo, "OI! SQUIRT! Come on let's get you home!"
