Ice Cream Fight Ice Cream Fight Natsu Dragneel came walking out of an ice cream parlor in Crocus, with a three-scoop cone of ice cream in his right hand. Natsu looked to his left and to his right and then walked over to the right as he saw his girlfriend of several months, Lucy Heartfilia, sitting at their table with a notepad on the table and a pencil in her hand. It was Lucy’s idea for the two of them to have a date at Crocus so that she could get some inspiration for a story while they enjoyed each other’s company. “Hey Luce, I got us some ice cream,” Natsu said as he sat back down in his seat. The scoop on the top was a regular brown chocolate scoop. The middle scoop was green with many chocolate chips surrounding it, indicating that it was mint chocolate chip. The bottom scoop was plain vanilla, and it was already beginning to drip from the cone, thanks to the natural heat that Natsu had emitted from his body thanks to his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. Lucy noticed this, put her notepad away, and grabbed the ice cream cone from Natsu’s hand. “Thanks, Natsu, but let me hold the ice cream from now on. We don’t want it to melt everywhere,” Lucy responded, immediately giving the chocolate scoop a lick, and almost cooed at how delicious it was. Natsu looked on at Lucy adorably licking her chocolate ice cream with delight. Natsu always enjoyed the faces that Lucy would make when he played a prank on her but seeing Lucy enjoying something was one of his favorite hobbies. Natsu walked over next to Lucy, leaned in, and kissed her on the cheek, causing her to briefly stop licking the ice cream, allowing Natsu free range to take a big bite out of the chocolate ice cream. “Natsu! I thought we agreed that the chocolate was mine!?” Lucy asked in annoyance as she looked on at the small amount of chocolate ice cream that remained on the cone. Natsu looked on at her with a raised eyebrow while licking the rest of the ice cream off of the sides of his mouth. “What? You’ve heard of the old saying ‘What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours’, right?” Natsu asked with a smirk on his face as Lucy puffed her cheeks in annoyance. Lucy then looked at the ice cream, and after getting even more annoyed that 95% of her chocolate ice cream was gone, smirked as she started taking small bites off of the mint chocolate chip ice cream, which she knew was Natsu’s. When Natsu noticed that Lucy was flat out eating his ice cream, he looked shocked as Lucy, while continuing to aim her chocolate brown eyes right at him, took another bite out of his ice cream. “What? You know the old saying ‘what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours’, don’t you?” Lucy said, mocking Natsu’s voice by making hers deeper as she continued biting on the ice cream. Natsu nodded and then leaned in to finish off the last of the chocolate ice cream on the cone. Lucy mouthed ‘OK’, and took a big bite out of the mint chocolate chip ice cream, leaving only a small dot of it left in the cone. Now all that was left was the vanilla cone, and when Natsu and Lucy realized this, they looked up at each other, with a competitive flare in their eyes, before they both started biting the vanilla ice cream, with Lucy making sure that she took the last bit of the Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream with her. “You sure you want to keep this up, Lucy? You may be smarter than me when it comes to books and writing, but when it comes to eating, I’m the one who wears the pants in this relationship,” Natsu gloated playfully while having the ice cream still in his mouth. “Plus, I’m not sure if you can handle the brain freeze. I’ve eaten pure ice, and survived the huge brain freeze that it gave me!” Lucy nearly spat out her ice cream as she tried to keep herself from laughing at this random confession from Natsu. “I doubt that, since you’d actually have to have a brain to have a brain freeze,” Lucy joked, sticking her tongue out at Natsu before taking another bite of ice cream on his side of the cone. Natsu responded by taking a bite of the scoop on Lucy’s side of the cone, and Lucy, deciding to finish this once and for all, grabbed the cone, and drank the last of the melted ice cream. As Lucy gulped down the last of the vanilla ice cream, Natsu grabbed the cone from her and ate it all in one bite. Natsu and Lucy looked at each other with their competitive flare turning down, and once they realized that their ice cream was gone, the two started laughing, completely ignoring the people looking at them with raised eyebrows. “What…why did we even do that?” Natsu asked in between laughs. “Because you ate my chocolate ice cream, doofus.” “Well, I think we should get our own ice cream cones from now on,” Natsu responded, continuing to laugh as Lucy wiped her mouth before handing Natsu a napkin. Natsu wiped his face with the napkin before Lucy took her notepad back out, and began writing several notes down. Natsu decided to lean in once again, but kissed Lucy on the lips, causing her to drop her notepad and pencil in surprise. While continuing the kiss, Natsu caught the notepad and pencil, put them back on the table, let go of the kiss, and began licking his lips. “We should kiss after having ice cream more often,” Natsu said after catching his breath from their make-out session. Lucy looked up at Natsu, looking shocked for a second before licking her bottom lip with a smirk on her face while looking up at Natsu. “It tastes delicious, so you may be onto something, Natsu,” Lucy mumbled with a red blush on her face, continuing to lick the remnants of ice cream off of her lips. “So I guess I have a bigger brain than you expected, huh Lucy?” Natsu said, poking the side of his head over-dramatically. Lucy laughed before standing up and kissing him on the cheek before nodding. “You do,” was all Lucy said before holding Natsu’s hand before sitting down and continuing to write down on her notepad. Natsu responded to Lucy’s public display of affection by nuzzling his cheek on Lucy’s cheek, causing her to laugh and the crowd that were looking at Natsu and Lucy with shock before saying ‘Awww’ to them while Lucy continued writing, as her time with Natsu gave her all the inspiration she needed, in more ways than one.
