Natsu Hates it When Zeref is Bored

Happy's Favorite Dish

11

Zeref snuck into Natsu's room, making sure his silent mouse spell was active. Okay, so that wasn't the name of the spell, but it allowed him to walk as quietly as a mouse. So who cared what the name was? Anyway, he walked up to the sleeping, blue cat first. He reached out and gently laid two fingers on his neck, right over his voice box. He muttered a spell that would act as an activation for the curse he planed for Natsu this week.

Once the activation spell was in place, Zeref reached out his other hand and laid it on Natsu's chest. He didn't have to say anything since the curse was connected to the word that Happy was to say to activate it. Once that was done, he took a step back and watched the two sleeping figures for a moment with a smirk on his face. He quickly added one more spell on Happy that was also connected to Natsu's curse, and that spell, in particular, was where the fun would begin.

Zeref turned around and slipped a note into Happy's green bag, the one he normally kept his fish in. The note was peeking out ever-so-slightly for someone to find later. After the note was in place, the dark wizard left the house and teleported back to his room. He grabbed a remote and pressed record at the TV screen that showed Natsu and Happy. The camera will follow them, being keyed to Natsu's magic, and record everything that was to happen. So even if Zeref missed something, he could look back and re-watch the whole thing. Even if he didn't miss a thing, he'd still replay the recording and watch the chaos ensue all over again.

The black-haired man laid the remote back down and climbed into bed. It was 3 AM and he needed sleep; that way he could enjoy watching Natsu's torment without pause. He chuckled as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Natsu woke to Happy waking him up this time. The little, blue cat kept pushing at his face, telling him to get up because he slept in late and they had things to do at the guild. Natsu tried to remember what that thing was he was talking about, but couldn't for the life of him. He got up while rubbing his eyes tiredly. He's sure he'll remember what it was they were supposed to do when he got to the guild.

"Hurry up, Natsu! Food is waiting!" Happy exclaimed excitedly.

Natsu looked more awake at the mention of food. He got off his hammock and followed Happy out the door quickly. He was hungry, and he could go for some stake, or even fire right about now.

The two ran for the guild, Natsu half expected someone to stop them, but they didn't. The guildhall itself was what made Natsu pause. It was decorated with flowers and stuff. Were they celebrating something?

They see everyone outside, along with some of the townsfolk. Why was Fairy Tail selling flowers? It wasn't Earthland day, after all.

"Natsu, you here!" called out Lucy, who ran up to him. He looked at her with confusion. Lucy chuckled. "What's with that expression? Did you forget what we were doing today?"

He did, so he nodded his head to confirm.

"The Mayor came by yesterday asking if we could sell all these flowers for him. He wanted to do this because it was his daughter's dream to sell the flowers she grew with Fairy Tail right beside her."

"What about the money?" asked Happy.

"Is money all you think about? No, wait... it's also food. The money is going to be split. The guild gets half, but it's going to the guild, and the daughter, Amber, gets the other half," explained Lucy. "Since there are a lot of flowers, we're also offering food. So knowing you two, you're hungry. You'll find the food over there." Lucy pointed over to the food stand where Mira was passing out food with Elfman's help.

"Thanks, Lucy!" Natsu and Happy joyfully said in union. They ran over to the food and Natsu began to pile meat onto his plate. Happy was looking for his favorite food, but couldn't seem to find it.
