I: Heartfilia, He: Dragneel. (A NaLu AU)

Happy Birthday Shrimp!

"Natsu! I can't find the gift wrap!" I shouted from the living room, my voice echoing throughout the house. He would've surely heard it. Sensitive ears, you know. "Do you know where I might've kept it?"

"You mean this?" Natsu appeared in front of the door holding the gift wrap and waving it like a flag. 

That idiot will ruin it if he keeps waving it like that. It's delicate enough.

"Exactly this. Where was it?" I asked him in curiosity.

"On the table in your room, duh. I'm using it." Natsu waved it yet again after a short pause and walked back to my room.

Swaggy.

Cue me slapping myself.

"Buy your own, you ashy scumbag! Give me back mine!" I clumsily ran back to my room only to fall face side down because of the foot mat. Natsu whipped his head, looking at my direction and ran straight to me, with the wrap in his hands, might I add.

"Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself? Where does it hurt?" Natsu checked if I really hurt myself. I took an advantage of this great opportunity and snatched the wrap from his hands.

"Aha! Got it! Now get your own!" I stuck my tongue out, waved it in front of him and ran back to wrap it.

"Aw man, that's not fair!" He groaned.

"It's totally fair. It was mine to begin with." I stuck my tongue out at him. 

That's childish of me, yes, but what can I say?

It's fair, okay?

"Luce," he whined. "Pwease?"

"No." I deadpanned.

"Okay, but if mine looks better, don't cry." He said and jumped out of the window. I'm already used to him jumping out and coming back in from the window. He rarely uses the front door.

"We'll see, you sneaky human-lookalike-reptile." I laughed evilly. 

I was really, really sure that he wouldn't be able to wrap it properly. He is a really messy guy and he's bound to mess up. The tape would be placed all around, and the wrap would be cracked up.

And cue the ugly guffawing.

After a long session of wrapping Lev's gift neatly, I got ready and went to the cafe. Half of the gang was already there, almost fully prepared for the surprise we had prepared for her. I didn't see Natsu, thinking that he'd be trying his best to wrap her gift neatly. Besides that, Erza and Gray were decorating the last bits they could. Jellal was in the kitchen, helping Mira in icing the cake. Gajeel was nowhere to be found.

"Hey Erza? Where's Gajeel?" I asked Erza.

"He's in the store room, the one in the basement preparing his speech and I think he's about to puke." Gray replied and smirked.

"He's just nervous. He has never done this kind of stuff before." Erza said.

"He wants to impress her badly, doesn't he?" I asked.

"He not only wants to impress her, but he wants everything to be perfect. He's been preparing for this for so long." Jellal replied smiling, putting the cake on the table.

"Back off Erza. Don't even think of taking a bite before Levy." Mira ordered Erza who pouted and turned away after sneakily trying to have a bite.

I decided to check up on Gajeel so I went down to the store room, only to find him sweating badly and stuck on 'I' after saying 'happy birthday shrimp!'.
