-Winter Warmth-

The guild was serving hot chocolate on a cold day. Everyone received one except for Gray, and he wondered the reason why.

"Why don't I get one?" Gray asked.

Happy answered, "Don't you dislike hot things, Gray?"

"Well-"

"You can withstand the cold no problem, but not us," Lucy intervened, holding her mug to warm up her hands.

"But-"

"Other than that Gray, we ran out of hot chocolate as well."

Gray was dejected, but he didn't show it on his face. He let out an "Oh..." before deciding to head home.

'That was unfair. Just because I'm an ice mage, doesn't mean I can't deal with hot things... I like hot chocolates too...' He walked all the way home, disheartened.

When he reached his place, he was met with Natsu greeting him by the door with two mugs in his hands.

"Welcome back, Gray!"

The ice maker nodded in reply as he slowly makes his way inside. The fire mage hands him a cup, surprising Gray and even more so when he saw that its contents were hot chocolate. He slowly reached out for it, stuttering out a word of appreciation when he brought the warmth of the cocoa beverage close to his chest, "T-thanks."

Natsu nodded as he smiled, moving towards the couch and patted his leg. Gray blushed, but he followed what his lover wanted him to do. He sat down between his legs, and laid his back against the dragon slayer's chest.

He stared down at the drink, before taking a sip. His eyes widened as he commented, "It's good!" And drank a bit more, enjoying the warmth coursing in his body.

Natsu just smiles, glad that Gray was enjoying it. He wrapped an arm around his waist, and sipped his drink as well.

"How did you- I mean, why would you make them?"

The fire mage shrugged, "A hunch that you might want some."

It made Gray wonder if this was those instincts where one can sense what they want from their mate... Or so he heard from Wendy. Nevertheless, he smiles, "Thank you." He receives a kiss on the head as a reply and it was good enough for him.

They drank their hot chocolates and enjoyed the rest of the day together.

This idea came to me when I got addicted to drinking hot chocolate. :3 Then I wondered if Gray couldn't eat or drink anything hot. PigeonWife told me, "Of course he can! Don't be so biased and based it on his abilities." Then the plot came, and hence, the birth of this Drabble(?). *shrugs* Regardless, hope you enjoyed it~
