a/n: So here's another one! I actually like this one... aside from having trouble believing that I actually wrote it...
Pairing: GrayxNatsu
Genre: Romance (if you can call it romance...) and humor
Warnings: Rather suggestive innuendos....
Hot Chocolate
"Hot chocolate sucks," Gray growled at the mage sitting across from him.
"No it doesn't," Natsu growled back.
Lucy sighed. This had been going on for fifteen minutes already.
"Yes, it does."
"No, it doesn't"
"Does."
"Doesn't."
"It sucks!"
"You suck!" Natsu shouted.
Gray stopped for a moment and quirked an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"I think you'll find we both... suck," he said, drawing out the last word to emphasize it.
Natsu frowned in confusion. "What do you...?" he started. Gray wiggled his eyebrows, smirk becoming more pronounced. "Oh...!" Natsu said understanding, a slight blush appearing on his face.
Lucy's head shot up. This was new. "What...?" she started to ask.
Natsu cleared his throat. "Um, yeah... well... Hot chocolate... doesn't,"he said, a little flustered.
Gray groaned. "Lucy! Help me out here!"
"Well, I actually... I agree with Natsu," she told him.
"You see!" Natsu shouted victoriously.
"When you come from the freezing cold, hot chocolate is the perfect thing to warm you up," she explained.
He stared at her blankly for a few seconds. "I don't have that problem..." he told her, unmoved.
"Oh, right..." Lucy said, remembering she was talking to a guy who walked around naked in the worst of snowstorms.
"Well, neither do I and I still say hot chocolate is awesome!" Natsu argued.
"I don't like hot things," Gray argued back.
"Natsu's hot," Lucy said, before blushing as Gray and Natsu turned questioning eyes her way. "I meant because of the fire. The fire!" she defended animatedly.
"And that would be a good point," Gray started, "if I liked Natsu."
"Well you don't have to say it so bluntly, jerk!" Natsu said getting up, his fist flaming. He paused, his flame dying down, as he got an idea. He grinned smugly at Gray. "I bet I could get you to like hot chocolate..."
If Lucy hadn't known better, she would have said it sounded almost suggestive.
"I don't think you c-" Gray started but was cut off by Natsu tugging him forward by the shirt to whisper in his ear. When Natsu backed away, Gray was left standing motionless, lips slightly parted and eyes clouded over with something Lucy couldn't identify. "...Hot chocolate rules," he said huskily, grabbing Natsu's hand and pulling him hurriedly towards the door.
The sudden movement caused Natsu to emit a sound akin to a squeak and then they were gone.
Leaving Lucy to wonder what she had just witnessed.
a/n: Hope it wasn't too horrible! XD I love my reviews and don't be shy about requesting pairings. :D
Short reminder that this is for the winter prompt challenge on FTM.
