Lucy woke up the next morning to a grinning Happy sitting on a massive box under her Christmas tree. Immediately suspicious, she eyed the blue cat warily and asked what was in it.
Happy jumped off the box and onto the floor. "It's Natsu's Christmas present for you."
Still suspicious, Lucy slowly walked towards it. Only for the box to burst into flames as a laughing Natsu jumped out.
"Merry Christmas!"
Lucy screamed and jumped backwards away from the grinning fire mage. "I got you a heater Lucy!"
Natsu lit his hands on fire, still grinning at the shocked celestial mage. "I'm a fire dragon slayer, I'm the best heater there is."
Lucy's jaw dropped, her eyes widening at Natsu's smug grin. "You can't be serious."
Happy flew up onto the Christmas tree and smirked down at them. "Well he is a heater Lucy."
"He is not! And get off my Christmas tree!" She yelled, reaching up to grab the cat. Happy jumped off the tree to dodge.
The cat going one way...
and the tree going the other.
Natsu grabbed the tree to stop it falling, but his hands were still on fire.
So the tree
was burnt
to a crisp.
Lucy froze in anger, her blonde fringe covering her eyes. "Natsu." The man in question put out the fire on his hands and laughed awkwardly. "Oops?"
"Get out!" Lucy yelled at the retreating fire mage.
"Well we had something to show you anyway." Natsu said while jumping out the window. "Let's go Happy!"
The blue cat flew out the window after him. "Aye sir!"
Somewhere near Natsu and Happy's House
By the time Lucy had caught up to them, Natsu and Happy had set up a bonfire. All of her anger had been replaced by fatigue, so she couldn't even muster up enough energy to yell at Natsu as he handed her some marshmallows.
Lucy ignored his hesitant smile and shoved her marshmallows onto a stick and began to toast them. She stared into the fire in a daze, wondering how on earth Natsu had managed to outsmart her and planning her revenge on them for burning her Christmas tree.
Then she noticed a suspiciously bed post looking branch sticking out the side of the bonfire. She walked around to get a better look, and sure enough, there was a familiar looking spiral pattern winding around the post.
Lucy's anger flooded back and she spun around to face Natsu, waving the marshmallow stick in his face. Natsu leant forward and bit a marshmallow off the end. "Thanks Lucy." He said with a grin.
"Natsu!" Lucy yelled, almost poking the stick into his eye.
Natsu swallowed nervously. "What's wrong Lucy?"
Lucy shook with re-ignited rage. "Where's your bed?"
Natsu's gaze moved to the bonfire behind her.
"Why did you burn it?!" Lucy exclaimed. Natsu responded with a shrug. "What else was I supposed to do with it?"
Lucy spluttered with rage. "It's a bed Natsu! You sleep in it!"
Natsu frowned. "But I already told you, I didn't want one. And I accepted the present like you told me to, so I kept my promise." He grinned. "So now you need to keep your promise." Lucy lowered the stick, frowning in confusion.
"Your present is the heater Lucy." Natsu leaned in and grinned even more.
"And you can't refuse a Christmas present."
Merry Christmas! XD
