a/n : (laughs nervously) This one is stupid and a desperate attempt at getting my number of completed prompts up. It's based on a joke my friend told me, short and … at least a little funny? (Hopefully.) Enjoy?
Pairing: Slight (slight!) NatsuxLucy if you squint real hard.
Snowball
Erza, Lucy and Gray were peacefully (or as peacefully as could be expected at the guild) eating lunch when Natsu raced towards them, a ridiculously wide grin on his face.
"What's the difference between a snowman and a snow-woman?" he asked, barely concealed excitement radiating from him.
They stared at him blankly, waiting for the answer but not looking like they cared either way.
"Snowballs!" he exclaimed proudly.
Gray let out a sound that was a cross between a chuckle and a scoff, a hint of a smile appeared on Erza's face and Lucy continued to stare blankly.
"You don't get it?" Natsu asked her with a frown.
"No, I get it." She paused. "I just didn't think it was funny."
He deflated a little and took a seat next to her.
A few minutes later, Happy flew towards the group excitedly.
"I just heard the best joke!" he told them happily. "What's the diffe-"
"Snowballs. And it's not funny," Natsu replied quickly, sneaking a glance at Lucy, most likely looking for some form of approval.
Happy threw Natsu a confused look.
"What's your joke?" Erza prompted, when it was clear it was a different joke in question.
"What's the difference between a happy cat and a happier cat?"
"What?" asked Natsu, secretly anxious to see if Happy's joke would receive better acclamation.
"More fish!"
For a second, a tiny fraction of a second, Natsu thought his joke had been victorious in this impromptu and unofficial battle of wits.
That thought shattered into a million dismayed pieces when Lucy laughed.
a/n: yeah…. XD
