Natsu One-Shots (Fairy Tail)

It's the Most Wonderful Time of Year (x Reader, Modern AU)

"Are you done with all your Christmas shopping?" Grey asked me.

"No! I've barely even started and it's Christmas Eve."

"Surely you at least have something for Natsu?"

I shook my head, looking out the coffee shop window at the people scrambling through the streets to get into taxis or steel buildings. "Nope. I tried to find something but there was nothing I looked at and thought, 'Hey, that's perfect!' when I saw it. Now I've ruined it all. The holidays are going to suck because I'm the worst partner ever!"

My head dropped down onto the table, nearly toppling my hot tea, but Grey snatched it out of the way in the nick of time. "Oh, Y/N, it's not ruined. You know, I have an idea for the perfect Christmas gift."

"What?" I asked, sitting up and leaning against the window.

"Well, you know what his favorite thing in the whole world is, don't you?"

"Working out."

"No."

"Happy."

"He does love him a lot, but no."

"Food."

Grey snorted. "Not quite. Come on, be serious. What does Natsu love?"

"His friends. He'd die for us. Do you want me to plan, like, a group event? Some bonding time with all of us, maybe? Or I guess I could talk to Lucy or Erza about finding him some kind of trip to go on. But that's pretty expensive and he gets motion sickness."

"You're such an idiot, Y/N. No! You!"

I furrowed my brow. "Me?"

"Duh, you!"

"That doesn't make any sense. How am I supposed to be a Christmas gift?"

Grey raised a brow, sipping his hot chocolate and licking it off his lips suggestively. "I'm sure you'll think of something."

My face flushed red. "No! No, I'm going to get him a legitimate present, something better."

He shrugged. "Suit yourself. But if were dating you, I'd take every chance I could to-"

"Stop, stop! Ugh, you're disgusting!"

"You know I'm right."

"No. I'll just get him a... a gift card."

Grey rolled his eyes, sitting back in his chair. "Boring! Whatever, Y/N. It's your relationship and he's your boyfriend, so if you disappoint him, that's on you."

"You are not helpful."

"On the contrary, I think my ideas were very good. You're just a prude."

"Am not!"

He just stared at me.

I tried to sputter out a response, but I had none. Instead, I left some change on the table to tip our waitress and headed out.

Natsu could barely contain himself. Christmas was finally here and he had the best ideas.

First, there was going to be a massive party. Everyone was invited: Y/N, Erza, Grey, Lucy, Wendy, Laxus, Levi, Juvia, Elfman, Mira, Jellal, Cana, Freed, Lisanna, Yukino, Sting, Rouge, and some other people (he couldn't remember the whole guest list).

Then they'd have a holiday gift exchange and finally, everyone would go home to give more personal presents. He had an amazing gift for Y/N that he was dying to give.
