-with Gray-
"Are you sure this was a good idea Gray?" Happy asked the ice Mage.
"Of course. Flame brain sleeps until like noon right? So we have time to wash the scarf and have a party set up already before he wakes up." Gray said carrying the scarf to the laundromat with the utmost care.
"Alright if you say so. By the way it was early ice of you you to do this. Typically on Natsu's birthday I find him in his bed crying about how much he wished someone would throw a party for him like when it's everyone else's birthday." Happy said with sorrow in his voice.
"Really? I never thought Natsu was the type to care about that. And didn't he ever tell us that New Years was his birthday?" Gray asked the blue cat placing the scarf into the waste and starting it on the most genital setting possible.
"Well considering I just found out last year by accident. It may be because of the fact he doesn't want to put anyone through the trouble. More fun the fact that New Years isn't actually his birthday. It was when igneel just considered him another year older. He doesn't remember his Family well enough to remember his own birthday." Happy said to gray.
"Stupid fool. Parties are Fairy tales favorite thing." Gray scoffed.
"You know nasu areas being the center of attention." Happy's says. "Plus how did you find out about Natsu's birthday adware we live no one knows that."
"First of all I found your house by accident I was wondering the Forest one day not really going anywhere at all jug walking and I came upon your house. I went coppery curious what the inside of the house would look like to be honest. It was a mess! But I went to Natsu's room to pull a prank him and scare the shit out of him! But I front calandra with everyone's birthday on it mine yours Lucy's the masters Erza's every ones. When I flipped to the last page the last day was marked NBD which I figured out meant Natsu's birthday. That was a month ago. I have been preparing this party the whole time. Even got the master to reserve the whole guild hall for it. Got a big cake. Got presents and even labeled some to look Like they're from everyone in the guild." Gray said hearing the beep of the washer and throwing the scarf into the dryer carefully. Than he turned it on.
"You did all that for Natsu?" Happy asked tears in his eyes.
"Well yeah I mean he got me this necklace and he always there for you when you need him so I thought it was the least I could do for him yeah know?" Gray said looking at the blue cat.
"Than why the scarf?" Happy asked knowing how much Natsu cares about it.
"Well I thought he always wears it. He gets beaten up and bloody with the thing on. He goes swimming and is all sweaty all the time I was thinking when was the last time it got washed so I thought is old surprise him with it all clean." Gray said shrugging as if it was no big deal.
"You realize that when Natsu finds out you won't be able to reason with him right?" Happy says concerned for Gray's safety.
"You're right I so the able to. That's why you're going to carry the scarf. That way if we do cross Natsu's path he will think you took it and you can say the window was open and it was carried out with the wind. He will believe you." Gray said with a smirk.
The green light or the dryer being done went off. Gray went to the dryer and took out the newly clean scarf and handed it to Happy after folding it carefully and placing it in the box to keep it safe.
Gray payed and thanked the person in charge of the laundromat and they were both off to the guild when Cana Moscow and Romeo ran up to them.
"Gray! Happy!" All three shouting to them.
"Oh hey guys what's up?" Happy asked.
"Well it's a good thing we found you first!" Romeo panted.
"Whys that?" Gray asked.
"Natsu wants his scarf back." Cana said taking a swig from her wish bottle.
"He's awake?! Shit! He wasn't supposed to wake up till noon! It's not every ten yet! Shit! Happy you said noon! You said we had time since he doesn't wake up till noon!" Gra shouted at the blue cat.
"I said he usually wakes up at noon! Otherwise he wakes up at nine thirty! And if you had gotten him drunk last night he would that've sept till three!" Happy yelled back.
"Shit I didn't think about that!" Gray said scarf him the back of his head thinking.
"What the hell are you to talking about?! Natsu really wants his scarf back! He almost hurt someone to!" Mocow said as confused as his two companions.
"Ok ok I got a plan. Happy take the box back to the master tell him I have these three and we getting the rest of the stuff for tonight. Also tell him to set up the things there. Once I get these three to work I will go find Natsu. You have an hour and a half at most hurt up and go!" Gray Shouted to happy.
"Aye sir!" And with that he cat was off.
"Ok I need you three to Come wit me." Gray started to run towards his place. He could hear the other three following him.
Good. Shit I really thought I had more time! God dammit Natsu why are you so unpredictable! Gray shouted in his head.
When they got to Gray's apartment he went to the couch that held all of Natsu's presents. Since Natsu never came over, that is if he even knew where gray lived. Having the persons out was not really a problem.
"Wow who are all these for or even from?" Romeo asked startled by all he presents.
"Technically there from me to Natsu. But if you read the labels there's one from each guild member who Natsu has ever helped. Now take them to the hall. And hurry I have to get Natsu." Gray said at the doorway when Cana spoke up.
"What are all these for, Gray?" She asked.
"Natsu's surprise party of course." And with that Gray was off to find the birthday boy.
