Gray decided she didn't like the heat very much. Of course she knew this already, being an Ice Mage did make the heat a step above unbearable, but she was determined not to show it. After all, if Natsu wasn't struggling, she wouldn't either. She realized this was a little stupid, for lack of better word. Natsu literally breathed fire, and had a love of heat just as strong as his fire dragon slayer magic.
Just as she was getting ready to give up and just make herself a coat of ice, Natsu turned back and said, "You okay, Gray? You look a little steamed."
Natsu knew that he probably wasn't trying to start a fight, but she had enough today. A combination of searing heat and a walk through this damn jungle for a mission not worth this level of annoyance would do that, and Natsu was not helping. Stupid mocking pink-headed flame brain.
Natsu, oblivious to the now seething and scorching Gray behind him, turned back and started to ask Gray what she thought was causing the distress in the village they were called to for this mission, until he turned and saw her. Gray, cold skin mixing with the warm air to form a cloud of steam, stood glaring at Natsu as he stood gawking at her.
"Shut up, Natsu. God, you're so annoying." Gray seethed, anger growing as she pushed past him. And Natsu was too confused to say anything, instead just staring at the spot she stood a minute ago before turning heel and catching up to Gray. Confusion was written on his face. After all, he just thought she looked a little dehydrated. Natsu swears he will never understand Gray sometimes.
Hello again! This chapter was a little..weird. And short, but that's only because I was also writing another chapter that should be up in a day or so. While writing this, I have realized this is totally becoming fem!Gray x Natsu. Yep. Nothing too romantic, but the tone is still , have a good rest of the week and stuff.
