Natsu Hates it When Zeref is Bored

It has been a while since I updated this. The last chapter wasn't the greatest, but this one should make up for it. Enjoy!

Zeref, the black wizard, was standing behind a tree looking around it as his little brother Natsu walked past with his blue cat friend, Happy. He had been following the two since they left the town of their latest job request, which was an hour ago. Natsu decided to skip the train and walk through the forest so he wouldn't get sick. Happy complained, but Natsu's excuse was that walking was better for the body than sitting in a deathtrap.

Zeref looked ahead in the direction Natsu was going and saw a small town beyond the trees. It would take them three minutes to enter the village and a chance for Zeref to spring his plan.

"Hey, Happy! Let's get something to eat; I'm starving!" said Natsu with a joyful grin as he eyed his friend. His decision made a sinister smirk appear on Zeref's face.

Three minutes later, the two Fairy Tail mages and their stalker were in the town. Zeref tailed Natsu and Happy until they entered a cute cafe. As they entered the front, Zeref entered the back, but he had to sneak in so no one would notice him. He looked around the kitchen and saw three men and two women cooking or baking goods around the room.

Zeref sneaked around the kitchen until he hid behind a shelf close to a storage room and the door leading to the main cafe area. He watched through the window and saw Natsu and Happy sitting at one of the booths. No one greeted them yet, which was acceptable for Zeref.

A young man with brown hair came closer to the kitchen with an empty tray. Zeref hid further behind the shelf until the man came close enough for him to grab him. The black wizard used a sleeping spell on the young man and hid his form in the storage room; Zeref then used transformation magic to take on the man's appearance and clothes. He grabbed the notepad from the waiter before locking him in with the storage, and then he walked out into the cafe.

Zeref strolled over to Natsu and Happy - preventing skips from entering each step he took - and stopped beside their table. "Good Evening. I'm Josh, and I'll be your waiter today," Zeref said with a kind smile, using the name he got from his captive's name tag.

Natsu grinned in return. "Hey, Josh! I'll take an order of chocolate cake - I've been craving it for some reason - and Happy here will have the biggest fish you guys have, make sure it's raw!" Zeref smiled in delight, glad his plan and compulsion were working.

"Alright, I'll be back with your orders soon. Would you like a drink to go with it?"

"What do you think, buddy; should we get milk?" Natsu asked Happy.

"Aye, sir!" Happy exclaimed.

Zeref wrote down their orders. "Alright, I'll have it out shortly." He turned and walked back into the kitchen. He told the cooks what Natsu and Happy's orders were, and they got to work on defrosting the fish and slicing off a piece of chocolate cake. Zeref got two glasses of milk and placed them on the tray next to the cake and fish. He turned to see the cooks had turned their backs to him, allowing Zeref to lay a curse upon the cake. Once the curse was set, the black wizard left the kitchen and set Natsu's table with their order.

"Thanks, man!" declared Natsu.

"Aye!"

Zeref chuckled at their high energy. "You two enjoy. I'll be back in a few to give you the bill." He turned and left them alone. He had no choice but to take orders from other customers thanks to his role, but he kept Natsu in his line of sight the whole time. He smirked when he saw Natsu take his first bite of cake.

'This is going to be worth it,' thought Zeref.

Zeref finished setting another order of food down on a table and returned to Natsu and Happy.
