Natsu Hates it When Zeref is Bored

Toilet Paper

Before we start, I want you all to know this is one of my mom's ideas. She can come up with some crazy ideas, so the more out there chapters are likely from her.

This chapter also has a warning in it. This may seem gross to some of you, but I promise, it is funny as heck! XD

Natsu washed his hands after using the bathroom. He lit his hands on fire to dry them off, but he made the fire too big and almost hit his frienemy with them.

"Hey! Watch what you're doing, flame brain!" Gray shouted in annoyance, fist raised and clenched tight.

Natsu turned his narrowed eyes toward the ice-make mage before rolling his orbs. He didn't want to pick a fight in the bathroom because it was far too cramped. He didn't know why they had only one bathroom with a single toilet and sink, but they did, and he wasn't planning on damaging it just to get back at the ice princess.

"Whatever," Natsu said as he turned to leave, but Gray refused to move out of his way. This annoyed Natsu, but he tried to keep his temper in check. The dragon slayer felt it rise steadily after each week Zeref pranked him. It had gotten to the point he began looking for jobs involving curses.

"What is with you?" asked Gray, sounding annoyed, but a light in his eyes that said something else, but Natsu didn't care to understand it. "You have been acting strange since last week. Don't tell me these silly little pranks are too much for you that you can't take the pressure."

Natsu felt his eyebrow twitch. "I can handle these stupid pranks just fine. What I need is a way to get back at that jerk," he growled.

Gray rolled his eyes. "Just put him in a rainbow dress and stick it to him for a year. Honestly, it's not that hard."

Natsu felt pressure build up in his head while it heated up. "THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!" he shouted furiously. "He's been pranking me for weeks, and each one has been humiliating! Only one of his pranks involved you, causing everyone to go to the hospital! So to you, a rainbow dress is enough, BUT NOT TO ME!" The last shout made Natsu's body explode in a blaze, burning the walls and breaking the toilet sitting behind him.

The sound of shattering porcelain caused Natsu to freeze and turn to see shards on the tiled floor where the toilet used to be. His pale face became ghostly white when he heard armored feet rush toward him. Natsu snapped his pink head around to see Erza punch Gray on the top of his head, earning a shout of pain, and then she aimed another punch at Natsu. Her fist was too fast to dodge, so he accepted his painful fate with a cry.

"What are you two doing fighting in the bathroom?!" Erza demanded.

"It's not like that!" Natsu claimed, but he knew he wasn't getting out of any punishment.

"Really? Then why is the toilet destroyed and burn marks covering the walls? Natsu, I know Gray can cause your temper to rise, but wait until after you both are in a much more open space," the red-haired mage said and sighed. "As punishment, you will replace the toilet, Natsu. As for you, Gray, you will clean this up." Erza's eyes darken as a shadow obscures her face. "Get moving..."

"RIGHT AWAY!" Natsu and Gray ran out of the bathroom, but only Natsu left the guild hall to buy a new toilet. Gray ran for the cleaning supply to collect the broom and dustpan.

Erza closed the now-empty bathroom door and waited for the two troublemakers to return. But the bathroom may not be as void as she thought because a young man with dark hair and clothes appeared in the room.

Zeref looked around, noting the destruction his little brother caused. Surprisingly, the toilet paper wasn't damaged. It was perfect for his new prank. He gently laid the tips of his fingers on the toilet paper roll and cast a curse. He also added his note at the end of the paper roll so the last user could read it.
