Natsu Hates it When Zeref is Bored

Christmas Special Mistletoe

I decided to update this fanfic for Christmas. Hope you all get a kick out of this! ;)

Zeref was in his room in his palace sitting by the window watching the snow fall. He was thinking about his brother and what to do for him for Christmas, which was tomorrow. But really it was more like what he was going to do TO his brother for Christmas more than for him. He hadn't hit him with a curse for two weeks. He wanted his brother to get comfortable for Christmas before hitting him with another one. Now was a great time to strike, but he needed an idea for it first...

'What would be Christmassy that I could do to Natsu?' mused Zeref. While he was thinking, he noticed something outside. He looked down and saw a flower shop. That was when the plot came to him. 'Oh... Natsu is going to want my head on a silver platter, but it will be well worth it.' With an evil grin, the black wizard teleported out of his room. He reappeared in front of the flower shop he saw from up in his room, startling the person that was working at the shop.

"Your Highness!" she said, bowing quickly. "What can I do for you, sire?"

If the woman had looked back up, she would have seen the evil light within her king's eyes and the grin that was threatening to devour his face.

"I would like to buy that," he said, pointing at one of the flowers in a golden-wrapped pot.

Natsu was asleep. It was not surprising since it was 4 in the morning. His sleep, however, was interrupted by a knock on his door. He barely was able to open his eyes. He looked outside to see what time of the night it was, but then thought to himself, 'I don't care. I'll just go see what this person wants and then go back to bed.'

The pink-haired dragon slayer got up from his hammock and slowly walked over to the door, which was hit again by whoever was on the other side.

"I'm comin'," said Natsu sleepily. He made it to the door and opened it. On the other side of his door was Zeref. There was a problem, though: Natsu was too tired to really process that fact.

Zeref held out a potted plant to Natsu and said, "I wanted to give you something for Christmas so here you go, Natsu. Merry Christmas!"

Natsu took the plant, which he realized was a poinsettia, a red flower commonly used as a Christmas decoration. Once he noticed that, he realized who it was he took the plant from. Natsu's eyes widened in horror, now wide awake. He tried to drop the plant, but it was already too late. The curse took effect. He felt himself getting sucked into the plant, or at least he thought it was the flowers. It turned out that what he got sucked up into was something far worse. Much, much worse.

Zeref quickly grabbed the poinsettia and took off toward the Fairy Tail guild. Once he was there, he placed the plant down on the bar counter and dug into it. What he pulled out was the real horror plant that Natsu found himself in. It was a mistletoe.

Zeref looked around for a place to hang his brother-turned-Christmas-love, and found the perfect spot. There was a rafter not far away from the entrance that was low enough for people to see, but also kept their privacy. Or at least that was what they'll think. The whole guild would still see the kissing happen, but Natsu would have a front row seat to it. If Natsu hadn't changed, like Zeref believed, then he knew Natsu was going to hate every second of this until midnight. Zeref started hanging Natsu up on the rafter. He wondered if this curse was too evil, but then shrugged his shoulders, 'Oh well.

'Natsu is going to flip by the time midnight rolls around. I'll have to be sure to be here when it happens with the camera.' After thinking those thoughts, Zeref teleported out of Fairy Tail and back to his palace.
