YouTube Prompt: A Fairy Tail Boy tribute to 'Making Love like a Man' by Def Leppard.

It was lunch time at the guild and much to everyone's surprise, Lisanna had insisted on preparing something for everyone.

For most it was just a sandwich specifically catered to their tastes which meant Natsu had the longest, spiciest, meatball sub people had ever seen, Gray had a terribly unhealthy ice cream sandwich, Erza had a full out high tea with dainty cucumber sandwiches and cakes, and everyone else pretty much just had normal lunches because they were normal people, well, ok, Levy hadn't even noticed Lisanna placing a cheese and pickles sandwich by her elbow as she was too busy frantically translating something and Cana was staring hungrily at the bar rather than at her full breakfast bin lid, and Macao and Wakaba didn't have lunch because they don't eat often, so maybe normal was an exaggeration for everyone else.

"And last, but not least," Lisanna cooed as she held a plate high above her head, "A Fancy Feast for Happy!"

"Yay!" Happy clapped his paws. "Do you hear that Natsu? I get a Fancy Feast!"

"Mmph?" Natsu said through a disgusting mouthful of chewed up bread and meatball, his face was covered in sauce. "Maf mice!" he showered the table and nearby people with crumbs.

Their yelps of disgust and Gray's rant on Natsu's lack of manners were instantly ignored as Natsu immediately stuffed more of his sandwich into his mouth blissfully unaware.

"Bon appetit!"

Lisanna then grandly placed the bowl down in front of Happy and clasped her hands under her chin as she watched him expectantly…she was instantly disappointed as Happy took one look at the disgusting brown mess that smelt horribly, and stuck his nose up.

"This isn't a Fancy Feast!" he cried out indignantly. "A Fancy Feast is lobster and king prawns, and the fanciest salmon and tuna you can get your hands on. Not….not….stuff that looks like poo!"

"Happy, don't be ungrateful!" Erza snapped. "Lisanna went through a lot of hard work to make everyone a nice lunch."

"Still looks like poo," Happy mumbled, "and it smells funny, what is it supposed to be?"

"It's cat food!" Lisanna said looking very hurt. "And it's the really nice stuff too. I thought it would be a treat considering Natsu probably can't afford more than the cheap canned stuff after he pays his damage expenses."

"I don't eat cat food!" Happy sniffed indignantly. "I eat fish, and sometimes chicken, why on earth would I eat cat food?!"

"Oh I don't know," Gray said sarcastically, "maybe because you're a cat?"

"I might be a cat," Happy said disdainfully, "but I'm a cat with standards and taste and I am not touching that with a ten foot fishing rod let alone actually eat it."

"Oh come on Happy," Natsu rolled his eyes, "you haven't even tried it yet. It might not be that bad."

"Just one bite, Happy," Lisanna urged gently. Her blue eyes widened pleadingly. "You never know, you might just like it."

Happy reluctantly picked up his fork and pierced a small piece and slowly lifted it to his mouth with a torturously slow pace he pushed it in and chewed it…..and instantly spat it back out onto the table.

"Nope!" he gagged. "Don't like it! That's inhumane. It should be considered illegal to feed people this crap."

Lisanna's blue eyes watered at that. "Don't be stupid," Mira snapped fiercely in the defence of her little sister. "They wouldn't feed it to cats if it wasn't good. I bet you didn't even try to like it."

"Yeah," Gray said, "it wouldn't be sold all over for all of the cats if it wasn't good, Happy."

"Lisanna has put great effort in our lunches," Erza said solemnly, "she would not feed you trash and it is dishonourable and rude to suggest she would."

"Just eat it, will ya?" Natsu said exasperated, "it won't kill you or anything."

"Oh yeah?" Happy cried out indignantly. "Well you all eat it and you see if you like it!"

"Fine!" Mira stood up and grabbed some more forks, one for everyone, "We will and I bet you," her eyes glittered evilly, "we will like it."

"And then you'll have to eat it," Erza added sternly, "and be grateful."

"Fine!" Happy huffed as he crossed his arms. "But I bet you that you won't like it."

Unable to back down from what definitely felt like a challenge, Mira, Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lisanna, Cana, Elfman, and Laxus (who blinked in confusion at why he was being dragged into this) stood around Happy's bowl with their forks at the ready. Levy had been invited to join but she had ignored them as she growled furiously at a rune book and didn't seem to realise what was happening around her.

"At the count of three," Erza said, "one…." Their forks glimmered in the light, "two…." Everyone's hands angled themselves towards the bowel, "….THREE!"

Everyone immediately dug in and shoved a large mouthful of cat food into their mouths. Happy watched them expectantly and almost immediately they all reacted to how he expected them to.

Natsu spat his out promptly onto Gray's chest, Gray choked on his, turned a faint green, and then punched Natsu for spitting on him, they immediately started to roughhouse, Elfman moaned in disgust, Lisanna shuddered, Cana immediately ran to the bar to wash her mouth out with brandy, Laxus went deadly silent (not that anyone could tell the difference), and both Mira and Erza went green in the face as they stubbornly continued to chew and forced themselves to swallow the cat food.

"See!" Happy said smugly. "I told you it was nasty."

"That was revolting!" Gray bellowed. "How can they call that food?!"

"I think I'm going to be sick!" Elfman groaned.

"That was not food!" Natsu snarled.

"My mouth will never be clean again," Cana said melodramatically, "I will never wash the taste out," and then she promptly gargled more brandy.

"I apologise Happy," Erza said, still very green round the edges, "you don't have to be grateful for that."

"I agree," Mira gagged, "no one should be forced to eat that."

"Oh Happy!" Lisanna cried out. "I am so very, very, sorry for trying to feed you that. Is there any way I can make it up to you?"

"I'll forgive you, Lisanna," Happy patted Lisanna's arm, "…..but only after you fry me up a fish."

….and with that Happy was never fed cat food ever again.
