Just wanna point out that this is a sequel to the fabulous story 'Dance With Me' by the even more fabulous mosherock4. Pairings listed later on since I'm lazy.


The moment the dance ended, everyone was filing out. Even a certain group of friends. Gray, Natsu, Erza, Jellal, Levy, Lucy, Gajeel and Loke were patiently waiting for the limousine they had rented to return. Natsu had tried to tell them all that he could just walk, even going so far as to tell them that transportation and him didn't get along, but, unfortunately for him, his protests fell on deaf ears. They insisted that Natsu go home with them and, when he brought up his extreme motion sickness, a slightly pale looking Gajeel just slapped him on the back saying that, 'if he had to deal with it, then so does Natsu'. So Natsu, quite reluctantly, conceded and agreed to go, telling them directions to his house from then since he wouldn't be able to the moment he was in a moving vehicle.

When the limo finally arrived about 10 minutes after being called (not bad on the timing huh?) they all filed in; Natsu and Gajeel instantly fighting for the window seats once the car started driving. Levy and Gray both shook their heads or sighed in exasperation at their dates.

Thankfully for the two, mainly Natsu, the ride to the pinkette's 'house' was relatively short. Of course they didn't really stop at his house though. The sleek, black vehicle pulled to a stop at the base of a small hill with a narrow dirt path surrounded by all sorts of foliage, that lead up to what they could make out as a small, cottage-like home.

"This is where you live?" Gajeel asked in disbelief when he noticed their surroundings.

"Yeah…" Natsu said cautiously, quickly recovering from his motion sickness. "Why?"

"So you're the creepy, evil witch-pervert waiting for little children to wander up to your doorstep…" Jellal mused, looking amusedly at Natsu.

Natsu stared at him like he had just asked him if he could see him naked. "I'm the what?!" he exclaimed, not even bothering to hide the utter WTF-ness from his voice.

"A theory we came up with when we were younger and much more foolish." Erza explained.

"We came up with it 3 months ago…" Lucy said, sweat-dropping a bit.

"Exactly."

Natsu just shook his head at them. They all seemed to be insane so what was the point? "Whatever," he started, looking back up at them, "Thanks for letting me join your little group for tonight, it was nice…" then he added as an afterthought, "Even if you all seem to be pretty crazy."

Loke chuckled before slinging an arm over Natsu's shoulders. "No problem pinky, you're welcome to join our secret circle anytime! Plus," added, grinning and turning to look over at his best friend, "I have a feeling that we'll be seeing you again much sooner than ya think. Right Gray?"

Said male simply glared at the glasses wearing male, a slight pink tinting his cheeks as he mumbled a quick "Shut up."

"But before you go Natsu," Levy spoke up, gaining everyone's attention, "This was supposed to be a date between you and Gray right?" When he nodded, slight blush on his face at the thought of being on a date with said dark haired male, she went on, "Well, at the end of dates, don't the two people usually kiss?"

When that sunk in, everyone, even the chauffer who was reminiscing about young love, grinned evilly at the two, now very red and stuttering, males.

"O-oi, wait a minute!" Gray exclaimed, "Who says you always have to do that?!"

"Of course you have to Gray!" Loke exclaimed, looking offended for some reason, "It's a tradition! If you don't then you kill the tradition!"

"He's right Gray." Jellal nodded in agreement. "You have to do it."

"Like hell I have to!"

"Oh c'mon Gray!" Lucy pouted, "Don't you want to kiss the cutie." She said, pointing to towards Natsu, who looked like he wanted to run away.

Gray, for his part, attempted to stutter out something that would explain why he wouldn't kiss Natsu. Of course he wanted to kiss Natsu. He wouldn't have asked him to the dance with him if didn't at least want to do that, he just didn't want to kiss the pink haired male under these circumstances.

"Yosh," Erza suddenly said, hitting her fist into her open palm, "You can kiss him anywhere other than his lips instead, as long as it's an appropriate and not already covered in clothing." She gave him a look like she thought that he would try it anyways. Gray felt his eye twitch at that.

"That's not the problem!" Gray was getting fed up now. He opened his mouth to yell them again but he found the words dissolving on the very tip of his tongue when he suddenly felt a pair of warm, soft lips quickly press themselves against his cheeks, and then they were gone. Gray quickly turned his turned his head, wide eyes instantly locking onto a very much blushing Natsu.

"U-um…I'll s-see you all t-tomorrow…" he stammered out before practically bolting from the car and up the hill to his house, leaving Gray still staring after him, eyes still wide and mouth still open a bit.

A 'tsk'-ing sound brought Gray out his stupor. He looked over to see all the males in the vehicle shaking their heads at him.

"That was sad Gray." Loke said as the car started moving again, causing Gajeel to resume his retching.

Jellal nodded in agreement. "If you want to be the seme you have to be more in control Gray."

Gray simply rolled his eyes at them. He wasn't even going to bother comment on the irony in Jellal's statement. It wasn't worth the pain anyways. Though he didn't really have to bring it up since some idiot did it for him.

"Oi, are you sure you have a right to say that considering your relationship?" Gajeel somehow managed while puking out the window.

Gray winced for him when he fell into Levy's lap, unconscious from the blows to the stomach he had just received from both Jellal and Erza. Then he closed his eyes and sighed as a minor argument started amongst his friends…

…Then a blush suddenly took over his cheeks when he thought of a certain 'friend' of his who had just left the car. He then proceeded to growl at Loke when he pointed it out to everyone. This is gonna be a long ride…
