Just a fun little fic I'm writing to experiment with characters and pairings from Fairy Tail. Enjoy, and feel free to review and give me ideas for the story! It's a work in progress!

~NGNGNG~

It was a normal day in the guild, in that Gray and Natsu were fighting.

"Say that again, hot head!"

"Make me, Captain Underpants!"

"Fire breath!"

Natsu swung a fist at Gray but the dark haired boy jumped back, shooting a sheet of ice at the dragon slayer. Natsu punched through the ice with a grin and humped on the ice mage dragging him down, the two continuing to wrestle on the ground.

A group of guild members watched the pair at a safe distance, one shaking her head as she raised a barrel of alcohol to her lips.

"Those two never stop, do they?"

Mirajane sighed, leaning against the counter beside the guild's resident drunk.

"It looks like- I just hope they don't destroy too much this time…"

I wouldn't count on it," Jet piped up from his seat at the bar, his counter part, Droy, adding "those boys are destructive."

Macao watched the pair as they fought, chuckling from behind his mug.

"I find it kind of heartwarming- they're just a couple of kids, wrestling around…"

Apparently Gray and Natsu heard him because both froze, mid-swing, and yelled in unison

"Hey!"

The group at the bar blinked at the sudden attention.

"We're not kids!"

The pair continued, starting over. Macao shook his head, continuing to chuckle.

"You wrestle around and call each other names like little kids!"

"Take that back!"

Natsu growled, ready to fight Macao instead. Cana laughed now, crossing her arms.

"You realized only kids say 'take it back,' right?"

Gray planted his hands on his hips, Natsu having been defeated.

"Natsu may be a kid, but what about me? Why am I being dragged in with that dummy?"

Jet grinned.

"Maybe cause you still call people 'dummy'?"

Gray scowled then exchanged a look with Natsu, beginning to see how childish they really were. Embarrassed, Natsu crossed his arms in a huff, demanding

"Well, what are guys supposed to do if they can't fight!"

The group looked around at each other, sharing a collective shrug at the question.

"Chasing after girls and stuff!"

Cana answered for everyone, who seemed satisfied with the answer.

"Although, I don't see why any girls would be interested in you two." Jet grinned, teasing the pair. Droy nodded, continuing "you don't got much to offer."

Mirajane quirked a brow at the pair.

"You guys talk like you know it all, but you've never even gotten the courage to ask Levy out!"

The pair turned red and hung their heads together, but Gray and Natsu weren't ready to let the conversation drift so easily.

"What do you mean girls wouldn't be interested in me! I can have any girl I want!"
Gray scowled, a flustered Natsu simply adding an angry

"Yeah!"

Macao couldn't get enough of the pair, laughing as he asked

"Oh really? So how many dates have you been on? How many girls have you kissed?"

The fire and ice mages looked at each other, sharing the same pink cheeks. Every time they opened their mouths, they seemed to be digging themselves deeper and deeper. Neither of them had ever been on a date and now the whole guild knew. What could they do now?

"We've just- never had the time! We could go on a date whenever we wanted to, right Gray?"

Natsu looked to his friend with a determined look, who nodded in agreement. Cana leaned forward, grinning as she looked the two flustered boys over- it was time to make things interesting.

"Alright then- you aren't busy tonight, so why not stop acting like kids and ask someone on a date?"

Natsu hesitated at the proposal, but Gray fired back before the dragon slayer had time to think,

"Fine! You're on Cana- we'll go on dates tonight and prove to you just how manly we are!"

Mirajane squealed.

"Oh, this is going to be so cute!"

Natsu gulped.

"Wait a sec…"

But the deal was already made. The group was laughing as Mirajane continued to chatter

"I should tell Lucy to be ready, I just know she'll get invited by someone~"

Natsu raised his eyebrows at the comment- Lucy? The pink haired boy glanced over at his friend, who was grinning back at him.

"Hey Natsu, I call Lucy!"

"What! No way!"

This was all moving too fast for the poor dragon slayer to keep up. He had to ask someone out on a date or everyone would think he was just a little kid- but Natsu? Taking a girl out on a date? He had never even imagined himself on a date let alone been on one, and now he had everyone watching as he embarked on his first one?

An image of Lucy and him sitting in a restaurant together flashed through his head, making him blush an even deeper red. Why was it Lucy he kept thinking about, anyway? There were other girls in the guild- but for some reason he hated the idea of Gray taking Lucy out tonight. Natsu shook his head, trying desperately to clear it, as Gray smirked at him.

"You're too late- I called her! I'm asking Lucy out tonight so you better back off."

The ice mage turned to set out, but Natsu grabbed his arm.

"Wait, Gray- we're not really doing this, are we?"

Gray glanced at his friend, seeing how flustered and unsure the boy was and almost feeling bad- after all, he had spoken for both of them when he signed up for this. But what other choice did they have to prove themselves to the older guild members?

Deep down, he was really nervous too. Gray was vaguely aware that there were girls in the guild that liked him, but he had never known what to do about it- he certainly didn't know how to ask out a girl, he seemed to get a little nervous just speaking to the opposite sex. But he couldn't let Natsu see his uncertainty- he had to beat his friend.

"Of course we are, Natsu, don't be such a wimp- real guys go on dates!"

Gray took his arm back, crossing them as he peered down at his friend. The ice mage saw a little flash of something in the fire mage's eyes, then suddenly, Natsu seemed angry.

"Well fine then! You're going down, Gray!"

Natsu clenched his fists, giving his friend a determined look. Gray smirked, happy to see Natsu was finally willing to make things interesting.

"Yeah, we'll just see."

Then he turned again to start planning out his evening, as Natsu turned and stomped off in the opposite direction. Both boys' heads were spinning. What had they gotten themselves into!

~NGNGNG~

Well I guess we'll just see, wont we! New chapter up soon- until then, feel free to review and give me ideas for this story!
