Summer Is Coming - Gratsu

11. Day 7: Princess Lesson, The Fairy Godmother

"Natsu sit still," Erza ordered, for the hundredth time today. After they got off the train at Uxoford they made their way to a small hotel in the center of the city. Gray barring a bright red face, from the event on the train. Erza had walked into Gray's seeing Natsu still asleep on top of Gray. She had turned on her heels and shut the door behind her. Gray had to run after her to explain it wasn't what she thought, but know she had something to tease him with and right now she wasn't letting it go.

Natsu was completely clueless to the teasing and it appeared to the events the night before, but she seemed to walk closer to him today. He knew she was just playing it cool, but was still fazed by it. Her hand would occasionally brush against his causing his face to grow an even darker shape of red- if that was even possible.

Erza and Gajeel pretend to not notice the closeness of the two, only giving brief glances at them before turning to each other and smirking. Like always Lucy was clueless to everything that had happened, she didn't even notice Natsu wasn't in their cabin that morning. Erza was definitely going to chew her out for that later.

"It smells weird," Natsu said squirming in her seat as Erza and Levy tried to do her makeup.

"No, it doesn't. It's just your strong nose," Erza said as she held Natsu's chin as she applied the foundation.

"Should we do perfume? Natsu is really sensitive to smell, so it might not be the best idea," Lucy said, worried.

The redhead smiled wickedly, "Trust me, I picked the best one for Natsu. She won't even notice it, but it very appealing to men."

Levy gasped from the other room and poked her head into the small bathroom, "You didn't."

"I did," Erza walked over to the large bag full of body product and pulled out an elegant perfume bottle, "Séduire. The most appealing perfume to attract that special man."

"Wow, can I borrow some?" Levy asked.

"Of course, but let's only have Natsu wear this at the ball."

"Oh, of course. I love this stuff. The one wearing it smell nothing, and to other woman it smells like a gentle perfume, but men are totally intoxicated by it," Levy said, reading the label on the bottle."

Erza turned back to the squirming girl, but changed her course to focus on Gray and Gajeel, "Will you two go get some stuff for us?"

"Sure," Gray pushed himself up, taking the list Erza held up to him, "Want us to bring some food back?"

"That'll be great. Just come back with enough to get you two cleaned up." The boys waved and left.

An evil glint in Erza's eyes sent a chill down Natsu's spin, she was in trouble.

"Time to get to work," Erza turned to look at Natsu, "By the time we're done with you, you will be the more beautiful than any woman to grace this earth with her presence."

Levy squealed loudly, "I can't wait. I'll go get the curler."

"She wants a strawberry cake and corsages; one with blue, another with red, and the last gold and pink," Gray looked up from his list to stare at the bustling market in front of him, "Where the hell do you corsages?"

Gajeel shrugged, "At least we can check off the strawberry cake."

They had found a small bakery only a few blocks from their hotel and had made their way to the royal market going on for the ball.

"Let's go look, Erza will kill us if we can't find them," The two stepped into the large crowd determined to find the flowery treasure in fear of the fiery fury they would receive from the dragon if they didn't find them.
