Chapter 5 / Poison Trouble

"Poison~." Wendy smiled.

"…What poison?" Natsu furrowed his eyebrows.

"A simple one. Odorless and flavourless. Just pour the poison into his drink. Just one drop and he'll die in a few seconds. Great poison, isn't it~?" Wendy giggled. "Oops! I better go now. Looks like our 'dragon' is approaching."

Rogue and Sting came and lifted Wendy on their shoulders. "Good luck, Natsu-nii~!" Wendy waved good bye and the three of them jumped of the roof garden.

"H-hey! It's on the 40th floor!" Natsu grabbed the railing and looked down. T-they're gone…

"Stooooooooooppp!"

Suddenly, Natsu was pulled backward and he fell on his back on the grass. "Ouch.."

"What were you thinking?!" Gray grabbed Natsu's shoulder and pulled him into sitting position to face him.

"Huh? What do you mean-

"Were you planning to kill yourself? Was that your uncle on the phone? What did he say? Is he threatening you? Or do you dislike the party? Or maybe-

"Pfft… Hahahahahaha!" Natsu bursted out into laughter.

"Hey! What are you laughing about, flame-head! I'm not joking here! What's so funny?" Gray confused.

"Hahaha! You're the one who's funny!" Natsu inhaled and stopped laughing. "Look, ice-block. I didn't plan on having a suicide. Even if I did, I wouldn't do it here either. I'll find a place where there's no one around so I could die peacefully. Haha."

"That's not funny, you hot-head." Gray released Natsu's shoulder and sat beside him, huffing.

"Something wrong?" Natsu asked. "You know you could talk to me about anything. I'm your best friend, right?" He grinned.

Gray stared at Natsu for a while. "Actually… I don't wanna inherit 'Frosty Bite' Company. But promise me you won't tell this to anyone especially my mom!"

"Pinkie promise!" Natsu showed his pinkie in front of Gray's face. "But I don't get it. Your future will be completely assured if you ran the company."

"Well… I'm not a kind of person who likes to just sit down behind a desk and only waiting all day for the rest of my life." Gray said. "And it seems my brother, Lyon, is very eager to inherit this company. I mean, we're both gonna run the company together, but I think he's gonna be a better leader than me. Haha.."

The raven haired boy looked up at the night sky. "Besides… I wanna choose my own future. Who I'm gonna be, where I'm gonna live, what I do for work, and whom I wanna spend my whole life with…"

Natsu took a glance at Gray who's now closing his eyes. So… Being rich isn't always the happiest, huh?

Then Gray chuckled as he broke the silence. "Haha. Don't mind it. We could talk about this later. For now, let's just enjoy the party."

Without a word, Natsu just stood up and followed Gray back into the ballroom.

=====killyoukillme=====killyoukillme=====

Inside the ballroom…

While his friends were busy with their conversations, Natsu went to the drink corner and grabbed a glass of orange juice. After making sure no one's watching, he pulled out the small bottle of poison from Wendy and opened the lid.

Natsu's hand froze. He shook his head a little. I don't think I'm ready to do this…

Suddenly, the drunk Cana hit his back. "Ow, I'm sorry, Natsu" And because of that incident, the poison was accidentally poured into the juice.

Aaaahhh! It spilled!

"Oi, flame-head, what took you so long?" Gray tapped Natsu's shoulder from behind.

"N-nothing!" Natsu was so shocked and quickly hid the poison bottle inside his pocket.

"Anyway, I'm thirsty." Without warning, Gray grabbed Natsu's glass. "A glass of orange juice surely could fill me up." He smirked.

The raven slowly lifted the glass to drink it. Before the liquid could reach his lips, Natsu tackled him to the ground. "NOOOOOOOOO!" And that action made them fell and broke the glass.

"Kyaaaaaahh!"

"What's that!"

The ballroom was much more noisy than before because of the shattered sound form the glass. Then the crowd were surrounding Gray and Natsu who's still on the floor.

"W-what's going on here?" Levy asked.

"Sorry, Lev. My feet slipped. And when Natsu tried to pull me up, we ended up falling. Haha. I accidentally dropped the glass and it shattered." Gray explained while helping Natsu to get up. "Please enjoy the party. Sorry for the inconvenience, guys. Haha."

The crowd started to spread, leaving both boys in the middle.

"Natsu! Gray!" Loke shouted.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Erza asked.

"I-" Before Natsu could continue his words, Gray cut him off.

"My feet slipped. And I dropped the glass. Hahaha." Gray lauged while holding Natsu's shoulder.

The others laughed at Gray's recklessness. Natsu too, was forced to laugh beyond his confussion because Gray grabbed his shoulder hard enough as a sign to prevent him saying anything.

"Well, I'm gonna help this hot-head cleaning. Looks like he got some orange juice stain on his shirt." Gray said pointing at Natsu's wet shirt.

Natsu looked down at his shirt. I didn't even realize my shirt's wet. Too much thinking, I guess.. Haha…

=====killyoukillme=====killyoukillme=====

In guest's toilet…

Luckily, there's no one inside the toilet so Natsu could freely take off his shirt and wash it in the sink. "Sorry, Gray. You ended up waiting for me here…" Natsu sighed while washing his shirt.

Gray didn't answer. He just waited there patiently, leaning on the wall beside the sink. Finally, he asked. "Why did you do that?"

Here comes the question.. Because there's poison in your drink! "…My feet slipped. Haha…" The pink haired boy answered nervously. Aaagh! I'm such an idiot! I just copied his answer!

"…Oh… Okay…" Gray just nodded.

Natsu's eyes widened. H-huh? He's okay with my answer? Sometimes he could be so stupid. But it really helps a lot in this kind of situation. Haha. Natsu chuckled as he thought. "Anyway, you could go back to the ballroom without me. I could go back by myself, you know." He gave Gray a thumb up. "Besides, I don't know how long I could clean this stain. Haha."

"…You got the point, flame-head." Gray nodded and ruffled Natsu's hair. "Come back as soon as possible, 'kay? Don't get lost and be careful of strangers! Hahaha."

"Hey! I'm not a 5-year-old-kid anymore!" Natsu yelled as he watched Gray grinning and leaving him.

Suddenly, Natsu felt someone's watching him. Or maybe…it's Gray who's being watched instead of him. He turned his head and found a girl behind a pillar, watching to the direction where Gray went. Who is she? I don't she's a…'Dragon Slayers'…

On the other side, Gray sighed and walked slower. "That Natsu. What kind of stupid answer is that? He's been acting strange since the day his uncle came here." The raven ruffled his hair. "Whatever.. If he didn't want to tell me, fine. Then I'm gonna find out the truth myself."

A/N: Any questions? Or maybe any ideas about how to kill Gray? Haha. =3
