Chapter 16-Manliest thing to do

Third Person P.O.V
The girls had left and the guys were still deciding on what to do and because there was a even number of votes for the two options they were spilt down the middle. Natsu still hadn't voted so what ever he picked they were going to do. Laxus, Jellal and Gajeel wanted to go to an arcade and just chill, but Elfman, Gray and Romeo wanted to go to an amusement park.

Everyone was looking at Natsu and he started to get nervous. "Umm....I p-pick the umm..t-he-"

"COME ON MAN JUST SPIT IT OUT!!" Gray shouted at him half naked while pointing.

"Gray put on your clothes, shut up and sit down. He's shy and he was just about to say it before you rudely interrupted him. Please continue," Jellal said calmly and motioned for Natsu to continue as Gray found his clothes and sat down with a hmph.

"I pick the a-arcade," Natsu said while looking at his fingers in his lap.

"Nice choice Slamander," Gajeel smiled, well he tried to smile, but it just came off as creepy.

"Aww man I really wanted to go to the amusement park, but if Natsu-nii wants to go to the arcade then I will go!!" Romeo said quietly to himself.

"Dammit squinty eyes! Why didn't you pick the amusement park?!?" Gray yelled at him while pointing an accusing finger at him.

"Uhh...w-well, I uhh h-have m-motion sickness." Natsu said feeling the urge to throw up just at the thought of transportation.

"Pfff-hahahaha!! What a loser? He has motion sickness. Haha!" Gray started to laugh hysterically as if it was the funniest thing in the world.

"Hey! What's the so funny about that? I have it too so unless you want me to knock your brains out I suggest you shut yer trap," Gajeel said to Gray with a menacing glare.

"H-ha. Umm well the uhh arcade was a very fine choice Natsu. I'm glad you picked it," Gray stated uncomfortably.

"Well, let's get moving," Gajeel said as he started walking to the door and Natsu just stared at him, he was feeling something that he never felt before.

For a split second he felt as if he wasn't so different and maybe just maybe he could actually be friends with these people, but that thought soon went away.

The arcade was close to the cafe so the walk wasn't far, but it was still kinda uncomfortable for Natsu because he wasn't used to them.

When they got to the arcade they each payed for themselves except Romeo, Natsu payed for him. Gray went off by himself to play ski ball, Laxus and Jellal went to a shooting game, Romeo and Elfman went to a test your strength game and as Natsu was about to go on his way to play a game Gajeel called out to him.

"Hey Salamander, you don't have to be worried or nothing. Gray is a good guy he didn't mean to embarrass you. The rest of the guys are cool too, we all mean well so don't take the teasing too personally. We all all tease each other, it's our thing," Before Natsu had a chance to respond Gajeel walked away to find Jellal.

Natsu's P.O.V
I had no idea what to say to that or what to think about it. I thought they didn't like me and just wanted to make fun of me, but I guess I was wrong. They seem nice so I'll try to open up a little more.

Third Person P.O.V
Gray sees Natsu just standing there by himself so he walk over to him.

"Hey Natsu, what are you doing just standing here?" Gray says as he walks over to Natsu.

"Uh..well nothing. I-I've never really b-been to an a-arcade before." Natsu says as he looks down to the floor.

"Wow! You've-pfft-really never been to an-pfft-arcade before?" Gray said trying to hold in his laughter.

"Y-yeah. I've had a v-very strict childhood so I d-didn't go out much," Natsu said as he twiddled his thumbs together.

"Well, today is going to the best day ever!" Gray said to Natsu as he patted him on the back.

Time skip~ a couple hours later

"Take that! And that! DIEEEE!!!" Gray and Natsu yelled at each other as they tried their hardest to beat one another.

"DAMNIT!! HOW DID YOU BEAT ME?!? You totally cheated!" Gray pointed an accusing finger at Natsu.

"Nope. I'm just that good. You can't beat me!" Natsu said while doing a little winners dance.

"Alright lovebirds it's time to go." Laxus said mockingly.

"We are not lovebirds!" Gray and Natsu yelled simultaneously.

"Yeah whatever you say. Let's just go." Jellal said as he was already walking out the door with Laxus and

"Ugh. Not you too," Gray groaned as he went to catch up with the rest of the guys.

Natsu called out to Gray, "W-wait...uhh G-gray, thanks."

"No problem," Gray smiled and continued to walk out the door and Natsu follows right after him.
