Theme: Chiaro is teaching Natsu Italian. Today's lesson; want and need.

Pairing: Chitsu.

"Okay Natsu, repeat after me; Ho bisogno..."

"O... bees oh no..." Natsu said, scrunching up his face as he tried to pronounce the words.

Chiaro sighed. "No, Natsu, that's not it... Try again."

They were in Fairy Tail's male dorm, seeing as how Natsu had begged Chiaro to teach him Italian, for some odd reason. So, there they were in Chiaro's room, sitting out on his hardwood floor, pronunciation and grammar books spread out in haphazard piles around them.

"Ho... beezonyo. Beesinyo? Be— Biz..." Natsu tried again, furrowing his brows in deep concentration. Growling, he leaned back on his hands and glared at the wall. "This is stupid. What's the point of this, anyway? When will I use this in real life?"

Chiaro sighed. "Natsu... I told you already; I want and I need are important phrases, whether you think so or not. Now," he said patiently, "bisogno. You had the first part perfect. Now try the last one again. Bisogno."

"B-bis-bisonyo."

"Really close," Chiaro persuaded, moving closer and placing a hand on Natsu's knee. "C'mon. You can do it."

"Oh... beezninyo," Natsu murmured, completely butchering the pronunciation. Chiaro sighed heavily and crossed his arms. "Natsu, you were so close!"

"Ho bisogno," Natsu murmured, the words sounding perfect on his tongue. Chiaro stopped, holding up his hands with a grin blossoming on his face, almost thinking he'd been imagining things. "Yes! See, you did it!"

Natsu let out a relieved sigh and slumped forward with a wide smile. "Finally!"

"Ah, wait," Chiaro said, holding up a hand. "We still have one more to go."

The smile fell from Natsu's face as he let out a groan. "Aw, man! C'mon, Chia, can't we take a break now?"

"No," Chiaro said adamantly. "C'mon, this is the last phrase for this lesson, and then we're done for the day. Wouldn't you rather get it over with now, so it's out of the way?"

Natsu paused, pouting as he thought it over. "I guess..."

"Good. Now, next is Voglio, which means 'I want.' Say this: Voglio..."

"Vaul... yee.. Vaulyouoh..." Natsu tried, back at square one with the pronunciation. His brows furrowed as he tried again. "Valeeoh. Vaulteo. Vault— Urgh! Chia, do we have to do this today?"

"No. Try again," Chiaro insisted. "C'mon, you just need to work through your anger."

"Vauglee... Volley... Vauteley... OH MY GODDDD!" Natsu ripped a hand through his hair with bared teeth. "Vauleeo... Vogleeyo... Voglio..." Chiaro held up a hand, stopping him. "Wait! Say the last one again."

"Vo... Voglio," Natsu muttered, jumping as soon as he finished speaking. "Voglio! YESSSSS!"

"See, I knew you could do it!" Chiaro said with a laugh. "If you want, why don't you try to use it in a sentence with some of the other words I taught you." Natsu looked over at him, suddenly developing a mischievous cat-like smirk that made Chiaro slightly nervous. "Okay. Ho bisogno... Chiaro."

"E-eh?!" Chia spluttered, his hand falling out from under him as he tipped backwards slightly. Natsu chuckled and crawled closer to him, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Ho bisogno... No, i voglio Chiaro."

"N-n-not funny N-Natsu," Chiaro mumbled, blushing a bright red as he looked away in embarrassment."

Natsu straddled him and whispered in his ear, "Chi ha detto che stavo scherzando?"

Chiaro's face grew even redder as the words hit him. "When did you learn to speak that much Italian?" he complained, hiding his blush in Natsu's shoulder. He both hated and loved how the older boy could surprise him like this. He loved it because it showed that Natsu could be spontaneous, but he hated it because, well... he often ended up flustered, like this.

The Dragon Slayer grinned, showing off his pointed incisors. "I just have a great teacher."
