Party (Rated T)
"Happy Birthday, dear Natsu! Happy Birthday to you!" the guild and a few other friends sang as Gray brought out his birthday cake. Quickly consuming the candles' flames, everyone applauded while throwing confetti.
"Would you do the honors in cutting your cake, Natsu?" Gray asked.
"Sure!" Natsu replied excitedly as he proceeded to cut the cake, but then he stopped. "They gave me the wrong cake!"
His friends—unknown to him—were trying very hard not to snicker. Even Gray was having a difficult time staying serious.
"What do you mean, Natsu?"
"My cake doesn't say, 'Happy Birthday' at all! This is someone else's cake!" The fire mage was becoming hysterical. Someone else had his birthday cake!
"It doesn't say, 'Happy Birthday?' Well, that's odd," stated Lucy, smirking.
"Odd? This is horrible! Someone else is eating my birthday cake!"
"Natsu, what does this cake say that's made you so upset?"
Natsu blanched. He only noticed that it hadn't said, 'Happy Birthday.' The fire mage hadn't bothered to check what it actually said.
"Um…it says, 'Will you marry me? Love…Gr…ay.' U-Uh." His head shot up and he stared at the ice mage.
"Your obliviousness is just too cute sometimes, Natsu. So, will you finally be mine for now and forever?" Gray asked as he approached his lover, a small velvet box with an engagement ring in his hand.
Natsu just gaped at him.
But the scene became too much for everyone else; they burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" the embarrassed fire mage demanded.
"O-Only you would obsess over someone else eating your birthday cake rather than actually reading the message on it!" stammered Gajeel as he laughed.
Glaring at everyone, he turned back to Gray. "I'll marry you, but on one condition."
Gray raised an eyebrow. "What's that?"
"You help me shut them up," finished Natsu as he grabbed a handful of cake and launched it at Gajeel. It hit him in the mouth, which had recently been open due to his hysterical outburst; now he was choking on cake.
"I think I can help with that," said the ice mage, taking his own handful of cake and launching it at Sting. It hit him square in the head and he toppled over, cake covered candles sticking to his face.
"You didn't have to hit him with the candles, Gray."
"Yes, I did. He laughed at you."
"Everyone laughed at me."
"True, but I needed an excuse to hit Sting. He really gets on my nerves."
