Gratsu Week 2018

SWAP

Magic, while able to be controlled by skilled individuals, could still have dire consequences if misused. So when a spell stone that Levy was translating went off in the middle of the guild, everyone was sent into a panic.

The spell seemed to have singled out only two people, who had gone completely limp when the stone went off.

Natsu and Gray were carried up to the infirmary in a tense silence.

"My body feels like jello,"Natsu thought, "What did I do?" His arms became weights as he lifted them to rub his eyes. "What the fuck did I do?," he whispered quietly, and then he opened his eyes to nothing but inky blackness, "WHAT THE FUCK?" He recoiled backwards, missing the side of the infirmary bed with his hand and falling directly to the floor. The impact knocked him back out, and left the smallest of the dragons slayers hopelessly confused as she stared at him.

Gray hadn't moved since he opened his eyes. He'd tensed up and stared at the ceiling in silence. It wasn't until a few minutes later that he actually spoke. "What the fuck." The words may have been a whisper, but it echoed in the quiet room.

"Are-" Wendy's voice caused the ice mage to jump a bit, but unlike Natsu, he didn't fall. "Sorry. Are you all-" The words died in her throat when she looked him in the eyes. Instead of the deep navy irises that should have been there, they were a deep green with small gold flecks that eerily reminded her of Natsu's.

"I can't see anything," Gray said quietly, panic breaking through his usually stoic nature.

"Well, um" The small slayer began, "your irises have changed colors. They look a lot like Natsu's and considering he's in here too..." She trailed off, "I think I might know what the spell did."

It took another half hour before Natsu woke up. He seemed frighteningly still for someone who was alway moving. He turned his head to look at Gray, "This is the absolute fucking weirdest out of body experience I've ever had."

"Unfortunately I have to agree with that," Gray mumbled. Wendy's guess had been right, Gray had Natsu's eyes, and Natsu had Gray's. They couldn't see when they had opened their eyes, because the eyes on their body aren't their own.

"I'm going to go see if Levy knows how to reverse this." Wendy told them. "I'll tell the others too."

The two of them continued to stare at one another, taking in what the details of their own faces looked like from another person's perspective. They never looked away for long, as they were the only bright colors in the room. "...Am I really that fucking small?" Natsu blurted.

Gray nearly choked on his own spit at the odd question. "Natsu," Gray spoke through laughter, "You're the shortest guy in Fairy Tail."

"Jii-chan is shorter than me!" The pinkette defended. His face had flushed horribly, but he was grateful that Gray couldn't see it.

"Jii-chan doesn't count! He has titan magic."Gray continued to laugh at Natsu, who was steadily getting more and more frustrated. He knew better than to throw a punch though. They'd both be useless in a fight right now.

"Bitch"

"Asshole."

"Jerk"

"Fuckwit."

They continued to insult one another over the next hour as they waited to hear back from Levy. Or Wendy. Or anyone 'd eventually had to resort to more creative insults.
