Hot and Cold

A New Friend

~*****~

After that... debacle at the guild, someone was able to switch everyone back to their respective bodies. How they did it, still remains a mystery. Maybe it was just a mispronunciation on their part that turned out to be correct, but I didn't really care. I didn't end up going to the bathroom for Natsu, which I greatly appreciated.

I sighed out happily as I sunk into the hot water in my tub, relishing in the familiar sting of the hot water on my freezing skin. I glance over at my door, my brow raised curiously as I hear someone out in the hallway. "You done yet?" I hear Natsu complain on the other end of the door. "You've been in your house all day!"

I snort and lean back against the edge of my tub. "What do you want?" I complain loudly, my eyes slipping closed as I refuse to leave my hot bath.

"Wanna go fishing with Happy and I?" I hear him ask curiously.

I hum delicately and peer out the window. It did look really nice out. I heave out another sigh and get up, my hands slicking my hair back. "Sure, let me get dressed." I call out calmly as I grab my towel. "I'll meet you outside--"

I feel my breath hitch in my throat as I feel someone watching me. I turn to the window, staring out cautiously for a moment before I hear the doorknob turn. I turn back to the door and my eyes slice into a glare as it swings open carelessly. "C'mon, it's not like you wear anything anyway, you're always wearing that top that barely covers your tiny boobs."

My bath water cools immediately, and I grimace as I step out, my form shivering. "I told you, they're normal sized! It's not my fault everyone's got ridiculously large boobs. NOW GET OUT!"

Natsu waves his hand at me before trailing down the hallway. "Yeah, yeah," He yawns.

I glance back at the window before shrugging it off and following after him to my room. "Get out of my room, too." I mention irritably.

The sun felt nice outside. "I might hate the taste of most fish, but this is pretty relaxing." I hum delicately. "So how come you guys didn't invite Lucy, too?" I ask.

"Something about a novel?" Natsu wondered aloud.

I hum and shrug. "Well, spending time indoors would be a waste today, anyway, it's beautiful." I hum as I lean back, relishing in the sun baking my exposed skin.

"Whoa--" Natsu exclaimed, causing me to sit upright and glance at him. "I got one!" He shouted excitedly.

"Watch out! Looks like a whopper!" Happy shouted. "Leave it to me!"

"It's huge!" I shout as Natsu heaves out the biggest fish I'd ever seen.

"Uppa!" Happy cheers.

"What the hell does that even mean?" I laugh.

Happy just continues to chant as he bounces around me. He doesn't even take notice to Natsu cooking it. When he does, he cries. "YOU RUINED IT! Fish tastes better if you eat it raw!"

"Why would I do that when it only takes a sec to grill it up?" Natsu asks.

"'Cause that's how I wanted to eat it." Happy whines.

"I caught it, so I eat it my way." Natsu mentions irritably. "If you're gonna complain, go catch your own."

"Don't do it!" Happy cries.

I shiver as Natsu eats the entire thing-- bones and all. He groans happily as he sits on his haunch. "Man, that hit the spot."

"How could you," Happy whimpers, tears in his eyes. "Fine! Our friendship is over, Natsu!"
