Warnings: This story generally contains Yaoi (Gratsu) so if you're not into that then leave my story alone. The rating is T but might changed depends on my mood. Characters might be OOC but I'll try my best to keep them in character as much as I can. This also contains some adult languages and swearing so little kids should go away before you all get corrupted.

Author's Section: Hello Fairytail fandom! This is my first story for Gratsu. I'm a Digimon (Yamachi) writer actually but I have the interest of writing something in here. Please R&R and give a warm welcome!

Disclaimer: I don't really get the reason why we should put this here but anyway I do not own Fairytail. It belongs to Hiro Mashima.

Chapter 1: Heavenly Bed and Chilly Morning

By: Johan lee

It was dawn, and the sun was slowly making its way to give the world the brightest smile once again. Natsu lay on his bed with a contented smile, enjoying the warmth it was providing him. He moaned softly as he snuggled his face against the pillow. Ah…life was really good….

Another minute passed and Natsu was snoring loudly on his bed. It was decided, he'll be an hour late! The guild wouldn't mind anyway, he was sure of it.

There was a faint noise from nearby, like a creaking noise, but Natsu paid no mind about it. It could have been just his imagination.

Rays of sunlight filtered through the thin blue curtains of his room (Lucy forced him to put those!) and the temperature suddenly and mysteriously changed.

Natsu felt a chill. It run down his spine like a cold hand caressing his sensitive hot skin and it nipped on his flesh a little painfully.

'Did somebody just activate an air-conditioning lacrima?' Natsu thought as his hands wandered around the bed in search for his unused blanket. Pulling the said blanket over his body, Natsu curled up in a fetal position, trying to go back into a peaceful sleep once again.

It was a futile attempt.

A blast of cold breeze erupted from out of nowhere; almost knocking the blanket out if he's not fast enough to grab it at the last second. Natsu hissed and furrowed his eyebrows, his anger rising quickly. He badly wanted to have more sleep, and really, he promised death if nobody turns off the damn aircon-

Hey wait a minute!

Natsu's eyes flew open as he shoot up from his bed. Since when did he owned an air-conditioning lacrima?! He no owned such thing! He's a fire mage, a fire dragon slayer to be exact. And the last thing he needed in his life was something related to cold things! Okay, maybe the second last thing since transportation is still the number one on his list. But still-

Natsu was cut off from his trail of thoughts when the chilly air hit his body once again. He quickly wrapped the blanket around his body in reflex as he stuttered and whimpered like a silly little child.

"Knock it off, dammit!" he jeered to no one. If only he could use his fire magic but NO! He can't use his magic to warm himself up or else his bed would turn into ashes.

Yes.

The great Salamander can't afford losing his oh-so-comfy little bed that he had just bought three days ago with Happy and Lucy (It was Lucy's idea actually so Natsu would stop barging inside her apartment to steal the heaven that was her bed). And now that he has his own heaven….

"No! I'm not going to lose my bed! Even if it means freezing to death, I won't!"

And speaking of freezing….

"Why the hell is it so cold in my room anyway? Last time I checked it's still in the middle of summer."

And then it all clicked in his head.

Natsu gave a loud gasp; eyes were wide as realization hit him like tons of Octopus being damped right into his spot.

Oh no, I'd over slept!"

The hell? How come he didn't realize it right away? He was too absorbed by the comfiness of his heavenly bed he forgot to wake up! The season has changed without him being aware of it. And now, the reason why the temperature in his room had dropped below zero is because it's already winter season!

Okay that was really stupid, but Natsu was starting to panic. If he really did over slept and it's already winter season, why didn't Happy wakes him up?

And speaking of the blue winged-cat, where the hell is Happy?

A sound of someone snickering on his window caught Natsu's attention.

To be continued….
