Ice Boy
Chapter 1
"Luce," Natsu said," Why is life such a bitch?"
Lucy looked over her pink hair friend, "I don't know Natsu. But come on it couldn't have been that bad."
"Not that bad?!" Natsu shouted, "The man said I was a gay, pink faggot!"
Natsu was not having the best day. Cana, a friend of their's that goes to the same college as the pinkette and blonde, had set Natsu on a blind date. The problem was Cana must have forgotten to mention to his date that he was a man! That fucking douche, he freaked out the moment he laid eyes on Natsu and realized he was on a date with a guy. It was so hard to find nice guys in this city. Most were taken, straight or homophobic. Just great for the pinkette.
"Well cheer up we're going to a party. You know dancing, food. Who knows maybe we'll find some cute guys that'll want to take us home with them." Lucy said, wiggling her eyebrows at Natsu.
His cheeks grew to a light shade of pink, "You know I don't do one night stands."
"Yeah well maybe you should," Lucy said, "I mean when the last time you had sex?"
Natsu didn't answer back.
"That's what I thought." Lucy said with a smirk.
The two drove in silence the rest of the way to the bar where the party was being held. Cana was able to hold the party at a bar because her father owns the bar and was allowed to use whenever she wanted. And right now Natsu wanted to sallow his pain down with alcohol along with his best friends. All Natsu wants is a loving boyfriend. He wasn't picky, he just wanted a man to love and ravish. Natsu let out a sad and tired sigh. Lucy looked at her best friend feeling sorry for him. The pair had finally arrived at the party and was swarmed by their friends. Natsu was glad to see them until he spotted a certain drunken brunette on the bar table.
"Cana!" Natsu shouted and stormed to the drunken woman.
Cana simply smiled at her friend,"Hey Nastu," her words slurred, "How was your date?"
"Horrible!" Natsu growled, "Did you not mention that I was a man to that guy?"
Cana pondered for a moment,"Huh, I guess I did! Opssie! My bad! Guess I was drunk when I met the guy." That was followed by uncontrollable giggling.
Natsu was beyond pissed. This isn't the first time Cana had set Natsu up on a blind date, but all sadly ended in disaster. 'I really need to stop letting her set me up.' Natsu thought.
"Oh!" Cana yelled out, "I know someone who would be perfected for you!" she sang and laughed.
'Oh god here we go again.' He thought to himself.
"See the raven hair dude in the corner," Carla asked, pointing to a corner, "The one not wearing a shirt?"
Natsu looked in her finger's direction and instantly blushed at the site he saw before him. In a corner was an unbelievably hot ass guy without a shirt, revealing the man's beautiful and well toned, and rock hard abs. Even though he was all alone he looked so cool.
"Y-yeah." Natsu answered.
Cana smirked at the pinkette's reaction towards the raven," That's my buddy Gray. And he's ssssssso gay."
Natsu blushed even harder by the drunk's comment. 'Yeah right' Natsu thought, 'There is no way a guy like that is gay. Or would want to be with someone like me.'
"Hey Gray!" Cana shouted, "Come over here!"
Gray looked over at Cana and then noticed Natsu next to her; he got up from his seat and walked over to them.
"What are you doing?" Natsu whispered at Cana.
'Well duh", Cana responded, "I'm gonna set you guys up!"
"Hey Cana," Gray said and looked at Natsu," Who's this cutie?"
Natsu blushed again and avoid making eye contact with Gray.
"This is Natsu, the guy I was telling about you early." Cana said and took a huge gulp of her beer.
"Oh is he now," Gray said as looked at the blushing pinkette.
Natsu let out a nervous little laugh," Um, hi. I'm Natsu Dragneel." He extended his hand to Gray.
"Gray Fullbuster," Gray shook Natsu's hand, "Carna told me a lot about you."
"Oh did she?" Natsu said and glared at his drunken friend. Carla just giggled.
"Why don't I buy you a drink? Hmm?" Gray said.
"Oh, sure." Natsu replied, "A beer will be fine."
Gray nodded and asked the bartender for two beers. Gray grabbed the beverages and lead Natsu back to the corner he was sitting in a moment ago.
"So, Natsu Dragneel," Gray said handing him his beer. "How a guy as hot as you isn't taken yet?"
Natsu chocked on his beverage and blushed. 'Hot?' Natsu thought, 'He thinks I'm hot?'
"What?" Natsu asked, blushing madly.
'So cute,' Gray thought, "Well I mean a guy as good looking as you has got to have a girl or guy of his own."
"I don't need to 'have' someone." Natsu said, "And for your information every guy I met so far is a big fat douche." He then took a sip of his beer letting it work its magic on him.
"Well that sucks." Gray said.
Natsu nodded in agreement, "What about you?"
"Me, I just got out of a relationship." Gray said.
"Oh, sorry to hear that."
"Don't be that fucking bastard cheated on me with some blue hair woman. He can burn in hell. But enough about me. Tell me, Cana says you go to the university here."
"Yeah, I go there with my best friend Lucy." Natsu answered "I study mythology."
"Mythology?" Gray asked, "Like monsters, gods and magic shit?"
"Yeah pretty much. I like dragons so I thought, 'Hey why not study mythology?'" Natsu replied.
"But how is that going to help you with like a job and stuff?" Gray asked finishing his beer.
"Well I actually study writing too. So does Lucy." Natsu said,"We both want to be writers."
"Cool." Gray commented.
"What about you?" Natsu asked, "Are you in college?"
"No. I actually want to a performing school and now I'm a dancer." Gray answered.
"A dancer? So you what do ballet and stuff?" Natsu asked, trying to contain his laughter.
"No I do a totally different kind dancing. Something a little more modern and popular." Gray said, "Though I was an ice skater before."'
Natsu couldn't hold his laughter anymore. He burst into a fit of laughter.
"Yeah yeah laugh it up Pinky." Gray said with a smirk.
"Hey!" Natsu said, "Don't call me Pinky!"
"Awww, but I thought it would make a cute nickname for you." Gray said, gently sweeping Natsu's bangs out of his eyes and saw a red face behind the hair. "You know you laughs are kind of cute too." Natsu blushed even harder.
"NATSUUUUUUU!"
Natsu turned around in his seat and saw Lucy and Cana coming their way with a bottle of Jack and shot glasses. 'Oh god', Natsu thought, 'Now's Lucy's drunk? This can't be good.' The blonde was known to not hold her drink well. This is going to be one interesting night.
"Oh, Natsu who's this hot piece of ass?" Lucy asked, her words beginning to slurp and caressed Gray's arm.
"Hold it cowgirl." Carla said prying the blonde off Gray. "Gray's all Natsu's.
"Yup," Gray said to Lucy, "Sorry but I only got eyes for Pinky right now."
Natsu blushed at the name again, "Don't call me that!"
"Oh really?" Lucy said, she reached into her purse to pull out a pen, grabbed a napkin, scribbled something down and hand it to Gray, "Here's Natsu's number!"
"Lucy!" Natsu protested.
Lucy let out a giggle, "Sorry Natsu, but I know you would have been too shy to give him your number on your own."
"Well then", Gray grabbed a napkin and Lucy's pen, "Here's my number." Gray handed Natsu the napkin. "Can't wait for you to call."
"Ok!" Cana said, smacking the table,"Let's get to drinking!"
So the four of them indulged themselves with alcohol and Natsu could feel the effect of the alcohol kicking in. He looked over at Gray and began to think to himself how he wanted to taste the raven's lips. How he wanted to see and touch every inch of Gray. He wanted Gray, now.
"So Natsu, "Gray said, bringing Natsu out of his lewd thoughts. "How would like to go out sometime?"
"Are you asking me out?" Natsu asked with a smile.
"What if I am?" Gray asked back with a smirk.
"Well the answer would be yes. I love to go out with you." Natsu said.
"Great. I'll call you." Gray said.
"Not if I call you first." Natsu said.
"Oh, where did this burst of confidence come from?" Gray asked amused.
"That's how Nastu actually is." Lucy said.
"Yeah, but he get's shy whenever he's around with an attractive guy for the first time. He's either warming to you or that's the Jack Daniel's talking." Carla said in agreement.
"Actually it's a bit of both. " Natsu said.
Gray let out a chuckle, "Well this has been fun but I have to work tomorrow so I got be off." Gray said standing from his chair.
"Awww, come on. Do you really have to go?" Natsu whined.
"I'm afraid so," Gray said, "But how about this? I'll call you tomorrow and we can make plans."
"Ok!" Natsu replied with a huge smile.
Gray smirked and leaned down to peck Natsu on the cheek, "Till then, Pinky." And left the bar without another word and a blushing pinkette sitting with his friends.
