Okay, so I don't do well with daily writing, especially because I am very busy. But, I do really want to write for all of these prompts! I'm sorry if this is shit. But, nonetheless, I hope you guys enjoy it! It kind of goes with the last prompt, but that doesn't mean all of these prompts go together.

Natsu had taken his eyes off of the other teen for five minutes. Only long enough to compare the plant he was inspecting the image in the book he had borrowed.
"Okay, so, I think that this patch of flowers is what the client was requesting. We needed four, right?" Natsu asked, never once taking his eyes off of the plant, still double-checking to make sure it was the right plant.
After a moment, and still no response, Natsu stood up, "Gray?" Turning around, he furrowed his brows, Gray was not behind him.
With wide eyes, the pinkette twisted and turned, scanning his surroundings for the ice mage, eventually catching sight of him.
Natsu sighed and gathered the plants before heading over. He had just grabbed all the plants that were available, nine."What the hell are you doing?" Natsu asked, as he leaned over Gray, who was sprawled out of the ground, his arm covering his face.
(I made a mistake.)"Ekatsim a edam I"
Natsu stared, blinking once. Twice. Feeling very lost as to how Gray even made those sounds, he replied on auto-pilot, "Excuse me?"
(Ew) "We."
"Gray, what in the hell?"
(I don't know. My tongue feels funny.) "Ynnuf sleef eugnot ym. Wonk t'nod I."
"GRAY, PLEASE! I CANNOT UNDERSTAND YOU!" Natsu cried, this was hurting his brain.
(What do you mean?) "Naem uoy od tahw?"
"Please, Gray, stop talking" Natsu sighed out, holding up a hand in front of Gray.
Natsu grabbed Gray's lips when he wouldn't stop speaking gibberish. Or at least it sounded like gibberish.
Grabbing a plant that had a bite taken out of it, he held it up to the ice mage, "Did you do this?"
Gray nodded, and Natsu wanted to punch him in the face. "You're an idiot."
Natsu flipped through the pages, and read the description, "Well, the good news is, is that your backward-gibberish language will wear off, and you'll be back to normal. The bad news is that your stupidity is permanent." Natsu put on a mock sorry face, as though he was relaying genuine bad news, and not just being an ass. Then replacing that expression with a confused one whenever the other cried out protests, "I'm sorry, Gray, I can't understand you."Gray hollered out some more replies, "(Shut up, Natsu! I was hungry, and I thought it was a cucumber, if you hadn't hogged the book, I wouldn't have eaten it.)"
"I get the strangest feeling that you're trying to blame this on you, but, that's ridiculous." Natsu skipped ahead, "I got the flowers, so we're ready to go."
The two continued in a weird silence, Natsu was quiet because there was no point, and Gray was quiet because every time he spoke it was gibberish, so there was also no point.

"Gray! Stop stopstopstop. What the hell is wrong with your tongue!" Natsu shouted as he yanked the ice mage's tongue out of his mouth, "It's purple with blue polka-dots!"
Gray growled, and stepped on the pinkette's feet, earning a yelp.
"Hey! You can't get upset at me for pointing out something." The pinkette flicked Gray on the head to emphasize the 'hey'.
Gray rolled his eyes and gave Natsu a look as if to say that yes, he could get upset.
"(Not everyone has freakishly long tongues like you, pyro.)" Gray said, knowing full damn well the pinkette could not understand him.The pinkette did stop though, and froze, before whipping around to glare at the ice mage. "Why do I feel like that was an insult?"
Gray's stupidly wide smile was enough to confirm the pinkette's suspicions. "Wow, I see how it is. Insulting me in your stupid gibberish language."
Natsu sniffed in mock hurt, before suddenly having a realization, "Fine. Two can play at the game." The pinkette then proceeded to say something to Gray in a different language.
"(That was illegally hot.)" Gray spoke, staring at the pinkette, who was busy laughing maniacally, "(Also, why did your voice change?)"
The pinkette continued laughing, his hands placed on his hips, looking unfairly proud of himself. "Not gonna lie, that felt really good."
"(I'm glad. Bet I could make you feel better-) if you catch my drift." Gray finished with a smug look, not realizing that the effects had worn off.
Natsu blinked once. Twice. Then tilted his head, "About what?"
"Huh?" Gray asked shocked out of his smugness, did Natsu hear what he had said?"Catch your drift about what?" Natsu repeated, stepping slightly closer to the ice mage.
"You heard that?" The ice mage said with a completely level and even voice, it most definitely did not come out as a squeak.
"Yeah. It seems to have worn off." Natsu said, prying the other's mouth open and checking his tongue. "Your tongue is mostly back to its original color, the polka-dots have disappeared.""Welp. We better hurry up and collect the reward so we can head home!" The ice mage yelled, hoping to distract the pinkette from asking about what he had said.

"I can't wait to tell everyone about what happened." Natsu giggled as he swung from one tree branch to another -one that was on a completely different tree-.
"If you do that, I'll tell Levy you can speak two languages," Gray said from where he was walking, y'know, like a normal person."Pfft, as if she'll believe you. Everyone knows I'm too stupid to possibly know two languages." Natsu said, almost sounding upset.
"Yeah," Gray agreed softly, not knowing how else to respond, "Wait a minute, when did you even learn that language?"
"When I was a kid. That was my first language, this is actually my second language." The pinkette responded with his usual cheerfulness, finally giving up on swinging on the trees, and joining Gray in being a normal person.
"Oh, that's cool."
"Not really. But, I can't wait to tell Erza that you thought it was a good idea to eat an unknown plant." Natsu kicked a pebble, turning back to grin at the ice mage.
"You have no proof," Gray replied without hesitation, even though everything in him had stopped to admire the pinkette standing in front of him. Looking far too pretty, and far too perfect."Fuck you." The words were spoken without any heat, and the soft smile on the pinkette's face would have betrayed him even if they had been.
