Chp 1. I'm Sick of Being one of the Guys
I Don't own Fairytail or the characters. This Fanfic is especially for SDF =) Thank you for reviewing my story I appreciate it :D ~
Ever since Cana was 13, she'd been an advocate drinker. She drunk in the morning, at lunch, and at dinner. She has had the same two drinking buddies ,Macao and Wakaba, for years. They were both her good friends and she would even die for them.
To be honest Cana forget when she had her first drink, she only remembered why she did. When she was a kid the pain was too much. She had always been mature for her age. She had to. Her father had abandoned her and most of the guild members ignored her because she didn't play silly games. It was always logic and reasoning, with her. Never duck duck goose or hide-n-seek.
Although, Cana drank with both Macao and Wakaba she always felt different when Macao was around. It wasn't bad different more like.. butterflies in her stomach. Something she felt a long time ago, when she first started drinking. She also felt a shiver when he touched her and her cheeks seemed to become warm when he would give her a smile.
Cana wasn't sure what the feeling was for. Maybe the beer was finally getting to her or could it be his daring black eyes.. Maybe it was the fact he never took advantage of her no matter how drunk she got, not that Wakaba had but many other guys had. Maybe, its his pathetic blue stubble he called sexy… Maybe I'm in love.
She gently put her beer back down on the table. Pff what luck I have? She thought sarcastically. I'm in love with a man who probably will never see me as anything other then one of the guys…
"Hey Cana?" A familiar voice said scaring her out of her thoughts. She jumped up and looked at the two figures sitting in front of her. It was Macao and Wakaba they were sitting down across from her. When had they got there? She thought.
"You ok?" Wakaba said giving a concerned look across from his beer. Cana blushed as Macao looked at her.
"Ya I'm fine guys, Haha." She said her voice cracking a bit as she laughed nervously.
"Sure?" Wakaba said grabbing his beer and moving it slightly.
"Your cheeks are really red. Are you feeling alright?" Macao asked but before she could answer he stood up and put his hand on her forehead. Cana could feel every texture in his cold slender fingers. It caused her to blush more.
"She's extremely warm" Macao said to Wakaba sitting back down. Cana felt paralyzed by his touch. She could barely hear them as they continued to talk all she could concentrate on was Macao's face.
His eyes were black as seemed to hold mysteries she wanted to find out. He had aging lines of worry from being a father. His blue hair that was slicked back seemed extremely soft to the touch. She really just wanted to reach out and touch it.
"..Cana?" Macoa questioned. Cana snapped back from her day dreaming and her hand was inches from his hair. She jumped back.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry." Cana blushed like crazy apologizing.
"I think she's drunk." Wakaba said standing up.
"You want to take her home, Macao? Or you want me to do it?" Wakaba offered. Dont do it Macao…. please, Cana secretly prayed.
"Nah I can do it." Macao said gingerly standing up and grabbing his white jacket. Cana just stood there in silence. Damn it…
"Ready?" He said facing Cana. She nodded slightly and then the two of them headed out of the guild's doors. It was night out and the moon was shining so bright there was really no need for the street lamps. They started walking down the street in awkward silence. Everytime She got drunk she always messed up some way or another. Admittedly she wasn't really drunk a little tipsy but far from drunk.
SNAP! One of Cana's sandal heels snapped under her weight. She fell forward and Macao caught her in his arms.
"Are you ok?" He said concerned for her.
"ow…" She said holding her ankle. "I'm fine… I think I just pulled a muscle…" Cana looked up at him feeling extremely weird being so close to him. He must not have felt the same way because he only got closer.
"Thank god. You can be a cluthz sometimes." Macao said giving a sigh and a smile.
"Can you walk on it? Do you need me to carry you?" He asked and her face becoming engulfed in red.
"No! Its ok!" Cana it rushed out of her mouth faster than she wanted to. Macao was slightly confused but nodded. He stood up and put an arm on top of cana shoulders to support her.
Cana took a step out, putting weight on her foot. She let out a loud gasp of pain. Cana pulled her foot back and looked at the ground embarrassed. Macao laughed.
"You don't have to act tough. Its only me, you, and the night sky." He said bending over so Cana could get on his back. She thought for a moment but reluctantly got on his back. Macao stood back up slowly and started walking again but this time at a sluggish pace.
Cana buried her face into his shoulder. He smelled of cheap cologne and aftershave. She let out a small laugh and he grabbed tighter on her legs. She let out a gasp and he laughed. Then Cana hit him playfully on the shoulder and they both laughed.
For most of the way to Cana's house they just laughed and joked like all the other times. When he got to her front door steps he let her down. Macao wrapped his arm around her waist and lead her up the stairs. When they got to the front door she pushed him back lightly.
"I..I got it from here." She said slightly.
"You sure, Cana? I can take you to your bed." Macao said but blushed immediately after realizing what he had said. Cana blushed with widened eyes.
"No No thats not what I meant. I meant I could carry you so your-" He was cut off when Cana leaned forward and lightly kissed his lips. He gasped and took a step back falling down the front stairs. Even though there was only about 5, He hit his head on the cement with a loud crack.
"Are you ok!?" Cana shouted, hobbling over to him. He sat up sightly rubbing the back of his head.
"Ya Im fine…" Macao said his eyes still wide and they just stared at each other.
"... I'm sorry." She said looking down at her hands.
"Its fine. I just didn't expect it..." He said a blush creeping on his face. Fine… What the heck does that mean? Cana thought.
"Uhmmm… do you..wanna talk about ...it?" Macao mumbled under his breath. Cana face became red and she nodded tucking her dark brown hair behind her ear. He stood up slowly his clothes crinkling. She stood up as well and he put a her hand on his shoulder as they walked up the stairs.
Once Cana unlocked the door, she flicked the lights on. Her house was pretty bland. In the living room was a white couch with a neat coffee table in the center and a tv glued to the wall. On the walls hung photos of Cana and her friends. Some of the pictures were even of her , Makaba, and Macao. Which made her squirm slightly.
Macao set her gently on the white coach and he sat at a little away from her. Macao tried thinking of how he wanted say how he felt or more importantly what he was going to say. He was lost so he just started with the obvious.
"Do you like me..?" He questioned into the silence.
"..Ya." She said shifting a little back and forth feeling nervous.
"For ..uh how long?" Macao through out knowing she was in the right mind to answer. She definitely wasn't drunk. This was serious.
"I just accepted it today but I have been feeling it for a long time…" She confessed.
"So that wasn't just a kiss.." He said more to himself. "Are you planning on being my girlfriend?" He asked looking down.
"...Ya if I could.." Cana said just wanting to melt in the soft cushions of the coach away from him. This was so nerve racking for her.
"..." There was a long long silence.
"..You know I have a young boy, Romeo. I have to love him first and fourth most. He lost his family when we got divorced and now he has to see me only once in a great while.. but its ju-"
"You don't want him to be around a drunk right?" Cana said disappointment in her voice.
"No thats not it at all!" He said looking at her.
"It just I want him to always feel loved by his dad. So I want to make sure he's ok with me dating." He said trying to explain. Cana raised an eyebrow at him.
"I know it seems stupid that I need permission from my son to date." Macao let out a small laugh.
"Its not stupid." Cana said smiling brightly. "You're a wonderful father for doing that. You're honestly thinking about him over everything else." Her eyes started to well up with tears at remembering how her own dad dealt with her. Not giving two shits.
Cana hugged him and he was shocked at first but hugged back. She pulled away but only enough to still be in his arms.
"Until you have a talk with your son. I'll be waiting ok?" Cana asked with a childish smile. Macao smiled back.
"Sounds perfect to me." There was a tension in between them as they just looked into each others eyes. Her eyes a deep brown and his almost pitch black.
Macao slowly leaned forward and kissed her lightly on the forehead not wanting to get her hopes up incase Romeo wasn't ok with it.
"Good bye." He said standing up slowly. She smiled.
"Bye, Macao." He opened the door.
"Oh and Macao?" She said standing up and he turned around.
"Be careful going down the stairs." She said smirking. He chuckled and nodded.
"I could say the same to you." Macao said pointing pointing to her ankle. She blushed lightly.
"Whatever." Cana said cheerfully and Macao left with a wave over his shoulder.
