Natsu Hates it When Zeref is Bored

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Natsu! ;p

Natsu: Oh shoot... 0.o

Zeref: *evil grin and laughing insanely*

15

Zeref looked at his calendar while stuck in a meeting with his Spriggen 12. He knew he should be listening to them, but he just couldn't bring himself to care. He was too busy thinking of what he was going to do to - correction: for - Natsu's birthday. It was tomorrow, so he had to plan quickly.

"You're highness, are you listening?" asked Invel. Zeref looked over to the ice mage.

"No, not really." He laid his head in his hand then. "I doubt it was anything important anyway," he replied with a bored smile. His 12 strongest fighters stared at him in astonishment, not that he cared. He got up from his chair and smiled innocently. "Well, if you don't mind, I have more important things to be working on." He turned and walked away. 'Like pranking my brother on his birthday,' he thought with a demented grin stretching across his lips.

Natsu was sleeping, not knowing that Zeref paid him a visit again late in the night. He was relaxed and warm under his covers, wishing he didn't have to get up, but he needed to go to the guild and look for a job. So with a groan and stretch, Natsu opened his green eyes.

The dragon slayer sat up in his hammock, but just before he was going to jump down he noticed something was very wrong. Not only was the floor looking to be a lot further away, but his hammock also appeared to be bigger. This freaked him out a little. He couldn't understand what happened.

'Did I shrink or something?' he thought. 'Zeref wouldn't prank me twice in one week, would he?' Zeref had pranked him just three days ago. The prank had something to do with carrots. Everything Natsu ate tasted like carrots, and he hated carrots. So it was a very cruel prank.

He looked around to see if he could find a note. It didn't take him long to find it. It was laid out on top of his blanket at the foot of the hammock. He reached out with a red, clawed paw to grab- PAUSE! Natsu doubled back and looked down at his arm. Yup, it was red, scaly, and clawed - like a dragon's.

He didn't bother to pull back to take a closer look, he just continued toward the note. He picked it up and read it with dread pumping through his bloodstream.

Happy Birthday, Natsu! I know you like dragons, so I turned you into one for the day as a present. To make sure it will drive you nuts still, I made sure that you are tiny. - Zeref

Natsu quickly jumped off his hammock and ran over to his mirror to see just how small he was. Zeref wasn't kidding. Natsu found that he was about the size of a chameleon. He was mostly red, with a black underbelly and black webbing on his tiny wings. The wings were too small for him to fly with, so he wasn't even going to try. He had two sets of horns on his head colored in both black and red. There was a little bit of pink fluff on the top of his head, which was the only thing that would tell anyone who he was. He couldn't wear his scarf since it didn't shrink down with him, sadly.

"Hey, Natsu! What's taking you so long? I thought we were going to go on a job today!" Happy said as he flew into their shared room, only to pause and look around. "Natsu, where are you?"

Natsu blushed, making the red scales turn a shade or three darker than normal, and said, "I'm down here." Happy heard him and looked at him. The blue cat stared for a moment with wide, shocked eyes, but that quickly changed to Happy covering his mouth with his paws and tears gathering in his eyes. Natsu growled, and the sound was enough to break Happy for he dropped to the ground with roars of laughter.

Natsu growled with teeth showing this time, but his growl was way too cute to be taken seriously. He sounded like a squeak toy that was filling up with air slowly, making Happy just laugh even harder. Natsu decided that since growling wasn't going to work then he'll just have to do something else. He lunged forward and bit down on Happy's tail, causing the exceed to scream in pain and fly out the window with Natsu still clinging to the end of his tail.
