"Is it just me or is everybody glaring at me?" Natsu asked as he glanced around the room, receiving the glares from his guild mates. Gray just shrugged his shoulders.

"Its just you," Gray said. His eyes landed on Erza who seemed to be watching intently at their conversation. In fact, everyone's watching and eavesdropping on their conversation; sice Levy and Juvia failed to get Lucy to admit her feelings, it was Natsu's turn.

And since Natsu is an idiot, this may take awhile.

There was no volunteers to do attempt two for bringing the two idiots together; in which, this pissed off Mirajane so she just had to pointed her finger at Gray. Now Gray has to do it and he cannot fail. If he does, he might not be able to attend tonight's Christmas party in Fairy Tail.

Gray glanced at his guild mates; they were urging him on to chat with Natsu. Gray cleared his throat making Natsu scrunched his nost in disgust. "So Natsu, you love your friends, huh?"

Natsu nodded before blinking. "Yeah ice-princess, I thought you knew that already. Are you that slow?"

Gray chewed on his lower lip, trying to conceal his tongue to thrash out on the Salamander. Though, he may just kill the guy later.

"Oh yeah," Gray said as he forced a smile, "I probably forgot."

"You always forget stuff. For instance, your shirt," Natsu said as he quickly glanced at Gray shirtless before landed his eyes towards the wall. Gray blinked before his eyes landed on his bare torso.

"When did this happen?!" Gray exclaimed. The Salamander rolled his eyes before his lips were pressed together in aggravation. "It was like an hour, dumbass."

Gray's eyes twitched before a chill ran down his spine. He felt the aura of a dark, vicious, person; his eyes landed on Erza who was clenching the pole.

Gray started to sweat and he quickly sat back down in his chair. He don't think if he can make it out alive. "S-so since you love your friends, does that incudes Lucy?"

Natsu narrowed his eyes. "Uh yeah? Lucy is the best friend I can ever asked for besides Happy."

Gray wanted to tackle the idiot and slap him a million times. He cannot die tonight; he has to find a way to make Natsu admit his feelings for Lucy. An idea cme rushing through his head as fast as lightning. "Natsu, you do know that the Christmas party is tonight right?"

"Yeah."

Gray smirked as he thought he may achieve this attempt after all. He cleverly glanced around the room quickly at his guild mates; eyes blinking at him confusingly.

"Natsu," Gray said slowly, "do you know what a mistletoe is?"

The idea soon slammed into the guild mates.

"Yeah. Isn't that the plant thingy and when your under it, you have to kiss the person who is standing right beside you," Natsu said as he furrowed his eyebrows.

Astonish, Gray asked, "Yeah. How did you know?"

Natsu shrugged his shoulders. "Lucy teaches me weird things"

Gray nodded. Before Natsu asked a question, "So what about it?"

Gray cleared his throat. Pink dusted on his cheeks. "Have you ever thought about kissing anyone?"

Natsu blinked before his eyes widen in realization. "Ew Gray, that's disgusting."

"Not me you idiot!"

"Oh then why do you ask?" Natsu asked. Gray licked his lips before clasping his hands together. "I was just wondering...have you ever thought about kissing Lucy?"

Natsu blinked. "No, why would I want to kiss her. She's my best friend."

"Yeah but-"

"Would you like to kiss Laxus?"

Laxus was fuming and he was going to punch Natsu after this.

Gray blinked. "Ew no!"

"Alright then. Now you know how I feel about kissing Lucy."

Gray stared at Natsu in shocked and he glanced around the guild mates for some guidance. They all just sat there, shock and was render speechless.

Gray grimaced. "Mira, a beer please!"

Gray just failed his attempt and he was not going to attend the party tonight. But what he wants to know, since when did Natsu became so smart?
