Chapter 21

Backwards Compliments

Natsu returned to the room with flowers and leaves strewned in his hair. The room was silent for a moment before it erupted into roaring laughter.

"What happened to you?" Gray managed to sputter out between chuckles.

"I just gave her compliments like you guys told me to."

"What did you say exactly?" Loki pressed.

"That she had big eyes like an alien, but that only made her mad." This got more laughter though Natsu couldn't figure out why. "I also told her that her massive bobs made her waist look really small. Then she hit me with the flowers."
