After everyone had opened presents, Natsu, grabbed Gray's hand and drug him outside of the guild.
"Oi, whatcha doin'?" Gray asked, a slightly pink tint resting across his nose.
"Here! Told you I'd give it to you later, and being nice in front of the guild will raise questions I don't wanna answer."
Gray laughed and took the little bag into his hands. Natsu looked happy as he watched Gray, knowing that he'd like it. Opening the strings, since he tied them, his eyes widened and looked to Natsu.
"How did you... Where... How'd you get this?"
"You had a picture of her at your place. I took a mental snapshot and, well... Tada!"
Gray was about to cry, to be honest. It was a little painting palette, but it was anything but blank. Turning it sideways, it was a picture of Ur, Lyon, and himself, both boys at the age of 7, out playing in the snow. And a few days ago, he had told Natsu he accidentally left the picture on a mission, and when he went back, it wasn't there. Gray, bag still in hand, bent down and hugged Natsu.
"Thank you. I really appreciate this."
Natsu smiled widely and wrapped his arms around Gray's neck.
"I'm glad you like it! Man, I told Lucy I was good at art, now she owes me 10jewel." He said; mumbling the last part more to himself. But, Gray still heard it and laughed.
"Did you guys really bet on it?" He asked, standing up.
"Yep!" Natsu replied, popping the 'p'. He rolled his eyes and ruffled his hair.
"Lucy's gonna be dumbstruck, you know that?"
"Exactly, that's why I made the bet! Anyways, it's getting..."
Natsu suddenly stopped talking and was looking behind the ice mage with a big smile.
"What? What's wrong?"
"Look! It's snowing!"
He turned around and smiled, seeing that Natsu was right.
"Would you look at that, it really is snowing."
Natsu giggled slightly and poked his head inside, shouting the news to the others. The kids came out in a rush; ignoring their parent's (and Laxus', because of Wendy) warnings of the cold. They stood with Natsu while he crouched for him.
"See? Don't need jackets while I'm here!"
The others rolled their eyes and watched as the snow began to fall heavily.
"You think we should go get some clothes appropriate for the weather about now? Before we get snowed out of the guild?" They all nodded and they went their separate ways. Natsu picked Wendy up and held her like a toddler.
"Put me down!" She whined loudly.
"Nu-uh, not until we get you some warmer clothes!"
"You're embarrassing, Natsu-nii!"
"Aw, you love it!" He said as he carried her to his house. (she lives on and off with Natsu, Gajeel, and Laxus because she can :))
Some of the people that were still there laughed as they heard Wendy yelling at Natsu, still.
"Poor Wendy. I have a feeling he's going to be doing that forever." Levy laughed.
"Yeah, and when she gets to big for him to carry, there's always the other two." Mira stated.
With a chuckle, Gray looked at where the two slayers were before they were out of sight.
Yay! I finished this one! I think I have another one, but I'm going to end up running out of ideas, soon. Please comment any requests, as long as they're not rated M or dirty T ratings!
See ya!
