"Tomorrow is Christmas!!"
Natsu jump as he and Erza walk around Vistarion. Erza smile and shook her head. The reason they went to the city is to buy some presents for Zeref, Irene and the other 12 spriggans
"Come on, Nat. We need to find some presents for them"
"So, where to?"
"Hm, we'll buy the other's present first then we can buy kaa-san and Zeref-nii's presents"
"Naisu. Let's go!"
•••°°°•••
"So, Irene... Have you thinking about something to give Erza?" Zeref look at the scarlet dragon. Irene sigh
"Not yet... Since this is my first Christmas with her... I don't know what to give her..."
Irene slam her face at the table. Zeref chuckled. He look outside the window. It's been a while since he celebrate Christmas with Natsu, so this Christmas need to be special. Zeref also had a hard time to think what he can buy for Natsu. Zeref sigh and stare at the people. They are still decorating the town and Christmas tree with bright lights. Some of them are busy buying some presents. Then he remembers something that may can help them. He look at Irene with a huge smile and said;
"How about we made the gifts ourselves?"
•••°°°•••
"So, now. It's kaa-san and Zeref-nii's presents" Erza smile. They both had done shopping the spriggans' presents and they put the boxes of presents at Erza's personal space so it will be easier for them to walk around the town. Many stores they had passed but there's no special gifts. The two walk to the main park and sit on a bench. Erza lean on the bench while Natsu lay down on the bench with his head near Erza's tight. Small grey clouds are on top of them
"What are we going to do, Er? We can't go back without kaa-cha and nii-chan's gifts... They will be upset..."
"I know... We can't sit here and do nothing! We need to find the most special gifts to give them!" She stand up. Natsu glance at her before staring at the blue skies. Thinking about giving some special presents for Zeref and Irene
"Hm, how about we made the gifts ourselves? You know, handmade gift?" Erza look at him
"Nice idea. But the most important question..." Erza lean at Natsu's ear
"What material we will use and what kind of gift we want to make?"
Erza look at him and the pinkette blink for a while. Natsu crossed his arms and think, so do Erza. Then Erza remember about something and look at him with big smile
"I know a place"
•••°°°•••
"You're making what??" Dimaria raise her eyebrow at the scarlet dragon
"Maybe a scarf for my daughter... Please Dimaria, I need some yarn for the scarf"
"Wait a sec" Dimaria walk in her room and took a red and pink yarn and knitting needles to Irene
"Here. These two colors are Erza's favorite"
"Thanks, Dimaria. I'm surprised that the Warrior Queen had this type of thing" Irene chuckled
"Heh, don't underestimate me" She smirk and then she look around, "Anyway, where's the emperor? I thought he's also worrying that he couldn't find a special gift for Natsu"
"He is worry about it" Irene smile, "I think Invel is helping him" The blonde hair warrior chuckled a bit
"Welp, Invel is the only person can calm the emperor down, especially after the prince came here"
"You're right. Anyway thanks for the equipment" Irene smile and walk away from the Warrior Queen's room. Dimaria just chuckled and shook her head
"You both worried too much... I'm sure Erza and Natsu will be more happy if you spend the whole Christmas day with them"
While with Zeref, the black wizard calmly sew some brown clothes in his room. Invel smile a bit at the emperor's diligent. Just a few minutes earlier, Zeref had panicked when he didn't have any idea what to make for Natsu. But he immediately got inspired when he remembers that Natsu really love dragons since his young ages. So he decided to went to Brandish room and ask her for some brown yarns and needles. He even ask her about the stuff that need to stuff the plushie he about to make. Zeref return to his room and start doing his project
•••°°°•••
"So, first Christmas without Natsu and Erza..." Gray sigh
"Aye..."
"It's felt weird..." Lisanna sigh and slowly stroke Happy's head
It's been 7 months since the death of Erza Scarlet and Natsu Dragneel and the guild are still gloomy as ever. Lucy, Juvia and Gray are now the top A-class wizard that will be chosen to the S-class trial. The three of them trained hard to protect the ones they hold dear and swear that they won't let anyone to die in front of their very own eyes. Mira sigh. The guild was too quiet for the time being. There's no Natsu to shout at Laxus, Gildarts or even Erza on challenging them to a fight. There's no Erza to bossy around the guild. Right now... Fairy Tail is was way too quiet, especially tonight is Christmas night
Everyone isn't in the mood for Christmas. Mira doesn't want her guildmates keep on sulking. She must do something. She then remembered that the guild will be a bit noisy if any of them fighting each other. But no one try it. So Mira decided to be her old self again and try to find her new rival. She look at everyone and then her eye landed on Lucy. The celestial mage is also sulking
Be her rival for the guild's sake. You can do it, Mira! Although it's really been awhile...
Mira slowly walk closer to Lucy and pull her hair. Lucy yelp and Mira made an innocent face
"Mira?? Did something wrong with my hair?"
"Oh no, just wanna disturb someone by pulling their hair"
"Huh?" Lucy raise her eyebrow. Mira lean at her ear and whisper
"I'm trying to light up the mood. Tomorrow is Christmas and all of you still sulking like babies"
"How? By pulling my hair?"
"Remember how Natsu and Gray started to fight and everyone were laughing at them?" Lucy nodded and realized
"So... You want me to be your rival? Isn't that...?"
"Aw, come on Lucy. It's for the guild too. I don't want my friend to be like this forever especially on Christmas night" Mira crossed her arms and pout angrily
"But..."
"No buts, blonde" Mira smirk. Some of the guildmates look at her
"I want to fight you" She point her finger at Lucy. Lucy jaw dropped and Mira silently wink at her. Getting the secret message from Mira, Lucy smirk
"Oh way so sudden, demon?" She play along
"Well, since there's no one will stop me from fighting, I guess it's time to kick your butt!"
"Bring it" Mira jump on Lucy and the two fight. The whole guild jaw dropped at the two
Mira and Lucy never fight each other like rivals. They are actually best friends! Not rivals. And also, Lucy never really like fighting. She always avoid from getting into fight against them. Well, about Mira, they used to see her fighting with Erza at their young ages. Wait... Mira was fighting Erza and now she's fighting Lucy. The realization hit Gray. Gray immediately made a snow ball and try to throw it at the two. But it hit Gajeel
"What the hell, ice cube?!"
"I didn't mean it, metal brain!!"
"You want a fight?!"
"Bring it on!!"
Gajeel charge himself at Gray and they also start to fight. Well, the people around them thinking that the fight will end quick but... When the two idiots fight, they accidentally disturb Lucy and Mira's fight. The two girls sent Gajeel fly across the guild and he hit Cana. Cana's barrel is also flying across the guild and causing some other member to join the fight
"So you're not going to stop them, gramps?" Laxus look at his grandfather. Makarov look at them. He close his eyes and smile
"I don't have the feeling to stop this fight..." Laxus smile back
"It's been a while since the guild noisy like this"
"Mira and Lucy had made a great decision. I really proud of them"
"On trying to make the guild noisy as usual?" Laxus chuckled. The old man nodded and chuckled
"Maybe" The grand master took a deep breath, "I guess, tonight isn't going to turn out worst" Makarov grin
"Christmas night, huh?" Laxus smile and close his eyes. He reopen it, "At least the guild are already noisy and I think this will light the Christmas spirit in them"
•••°°°•••
It's already 9:45pm. Zeref had finished his gift for Natsu, Irene had finished knitting Erza's scarf and the two had finished doing their special gifts for Zeref and Irene. They quickly went home and hid the gifts somewhere they only knew. Erza and Natsu walk along the palace corridor and some of the guard greet them. Irene and Zeref put the gift in a box and hid it in their closet. Soon after they put the box in their own closet, Erza entered Irene's room and Natsu entered Zeref's room
"Nii-chan~"
"Natsu" Zeref smiled as Natsu jump on his bed and cuddle with him
"How was today? Did anything happens?"
"Well, just a regular shopping with Er"
"I see"
"Nii-chan, can I sleep with you tonight?"
"Well..." Zeref stare at Natsu's puppy eyes, "I never say no to my cutest baby brother"
"Yeay!!!" The two brothers cuddle with each other. Zeref close the light and pull Natsu into his embrace. Natsu yawn and buried his face at Zeref's chest
"Night, Zewef-nii" Zeref smile as he heard a soft snoring(?) from Natsu. He ran his fingers through Natsu's soft sakura hair
"Night, little brother"
"Um, kaa-san" Erza peek at Irene's door. The scarlet dragon look up from her book and look at her only daughter
"Is there something bothering you, Erza?"
"Um, I know it may be an awkward thing but... Can I sleep with you tonight? Please?" Irene blink and stare at her daughter
"I-It's okay if you don't want..." Irene panicked as Erza said it
"Oh! No! No! I just um... Surprised. Yeah, just so sudden you want to sleep with me. It's rather cute of you" Irene chuckled and put her book down on the table beside her bed. Erza blush as Irene spread her arms, "Come here you"
Without any hesitation, Erza ran to her mother and lay beside her, "You're really warm"
"Well, I guess people say it as a mother's warmness"
"Who said it?"
"Me" Irene giggle and pinch Erza's cheek playfully. Erza chuckled as she hug Irene and close her eyes
"Night, kaa-san"
"Night, Erza" She kissed Erza's forehead before closing the lights
•••°°°•••
Lucy open her eyes and sit up. She guessed that they've been fighting for the whole day and they end up sleeping in the guild. Everyone still asleep. Some of them sleep in a weird position and it make Lucy sweat drop. The celestial mage stretch her arms. This was the first time she started the brawl in the guild with Mira. No wonder why Natsu and Gray always fight each other. It make them forget about how long they have been fighting
Lucy look around and smile, "At least the guild still had the fighting spirit in them"
Lucy chuckled all by herself. Then she look at the clock. Her eyes widen and she immediately stand up
"IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!" Her scream had started everyone to wake up
"Really?" Wendy look at her with a smile. Lucy nodded
"Well, I guess you all already awake. I'm just planning to wake up all of you after recollecting your Christmas gift" They turn and look at the small old man wearing a santa suit
"Master!!"
"Hoho, I know this will be the first Christmas without Natsu and Erza, but we need to live for them. I don't want any of you sulking like babies anymore. We, Fairy Tail, always stand up for each other. We always live for the ones who die, we need to keep on living without making them worried. So brats, don't sad because they leave us forever but celebrate cause we had a chance to created memories with them! So today, we're going to Christmas partying!!" They smile at Makarov's speech
"So, Merry Christmas brats"
"MERRY CHRISTMAS, MASTER!!"
•••°°°•••
"IT'S CHRISTMAS!!! YEAH!!!" Erza and Natsu jump
Irene and Zeref chuckled at the two's energy. They've been like that after wake up and see snow falling from the skies. The four of them already finished breakfast with the other Spriggan 12. Right now, it's time for them to rearrange the gifts. Erza requip all the gifts from her personal space and give them to the Spriggan 12
Invel got a light blue sweat shirt. Ajeel got a new red and brown sled. Jacob got a new pair of black gloves. August got a locket. God Serena got a shirt with 'I Am Mr Awesome' writing on it. Larcade got a new book which is a sci-fi type book. Wall got some new machine guns. Bloodman got a black mask. Nienheart got a red shirt with 'I Am Neinheart' writing on it. Dimaria got a new sword and Brandish got some new nail polish. Yajeel also got a present from them. They give him a drawing of him and Ajeel smiling together. The twelve of them thank the two
Soon after finished give the presents. They turn to the special two. Irene Belserion and Zeref Dragneel. Erza requip something and Natsu pull out something from his pocket
"This is for you!" Irene and Zeref awed at the special present. It's a jewelry keychain with their own face. They carefully take the keychain from Erza and Natsu
"Where... Where do you made this?"
"Secret" They wink
"Aw, why?"
"We still can't tell you" Erza smile
"But, you like it right?"
"I don't like it..." Zeref's bangs shadowed his eyes. Natsu's eyes widen
"What...?"
"I LOVE IT!!!!" Zeref immediately pull Natsu to a tight hug
"Nii-chan, you're scaring meee~"
"Sorry" Zeref chuckled
"So, ready to open up your presents?" Irene smile
"We sure did!! But let us open yours first. I can't wait to see!!"
"Me either!!"
"Alright. But first let us take the gift for you" Irene and Zeref walk back to their room and took the present. A few moments passed, they finally arrived with the present
"Here" They put the wrapped box in front of them. With a huge smile, the two unwrapped the box and opened it. Erza took out her brand new pink and red scarf and wrap it at her neck
"Did you made this??"
"Handmade, my daughter" Irene patted her head
"Thank you"
"OH MY GOSH, NII-CHAN!!!!" Both Erza and Irene look at Natsu
"Natsu?" Natsu took out his present. A medium size dragon plushie
"IT'S LOOK LIKE IGNEEL!!!" Natsu hug the plushie and ran towards Zeref. He tackle Zeref to a hug
"The best gift ever!!!"
"Wow, Zeref. I never thought you knew how to made that kind off plushie"
"I used to help my mother to made some toy for Natsu back then"
"I see..."
"Alright now it's time to open up our present, Natsu, Erza" Dimaria grinned
"Aye!!" They salute playfully at her
"Wait! We didn't do it yet!!" Erza immediately stop unwrapping the present
"What is it?"
"Hehe. 3, 2, 1..."
"MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!!"
