"So, Freed. Laxsus got himself into a dare, to get all of the Thunder Legion, including him, to play spin the bottle with us. So, you need to play... or it'd kinda make him look like a fool" Cana said to me in a convincing manner.
"Oh... Well I guess I have to play then, what is this game?" I asked doubt flickering in my eyes.
"It's a simple game, I'll explain when everyone gathers around, okay? Go wait over there" She responded with a smile of satisfaction.
"Okay." I nodded joining the small crowd.
After just a few moments, she returned and the group fell silent as she began to review how this game would be played.
"Before we start, few rules, No one married can play, and no kids, and no cats, so Macao, Wakaba, Happy, Carla, Lily, Wendy, Romeo, Asuka, Bisca, Alzak. Aimed at you, and any people I forgot that gathered around who fit those descriptions, okay. Now, I laid out numbers on the ground in a circle, you will randomly choose a card with a number, and sit in the corresponding place. Once everyone is seated an empty beer bottle will be placed in the middle and spun around, no magic used, and the person the opening and the close point to must kiss. So you only can possibly end up kissing the person across from you. However, not each will kiss, we'll spin it five times so the chances are pretty small... I think, math isnt easy after you drink a barrel of beer... Okay? Anyways, that's it, grab a card" She explained making cards appear face down behind her, then she stepped aside taking a card.
Seeing my number I quickly hurried to sit down, scared to see who was across from me. So I didn't, I saw Lucy next to me and then darted my gaze to the ground. I had been ignoring the talking of others, but looked up as I heard the glass bottle start to spin. My gazze found Laxsus', no he couldn't be across from me. Gajeel was next to him, and Mira on the other side... But of course. Laxsus was across from me. In fear I pretended there wasn't a chance i'd have to kiss him, and watched the slowing bottle. The bottle slowed and it looked as though it was going to land on Lucy and Gajeel.
My heart stopped dead.

Laxsus was going to kiss me.

Now what?
"So I just kiss him?" Laxsus asked Cana, interrupting my thoughts.
Mira and Lissanna gave soft slow nods, and causing my throat to tighten, he got on his knees. The large man placed one hand near the bottle, and easily stretching out, put the other on my back. At his touch my whole body lit bright red, in both embarrassment, and what I can only hope was discomfort. He tilted his head, his face coming ever closer to mine. I couldn't stand to watch this, my eyes shut. He didn't stop though, and he pressed his lips to mine, and I did my best not to return the soft gentle kiss. As his lips ran over mine, I became numb to my surroundings, all that I knew was him, his hand on my back, his lips on mine. Slowly he drew back, and everything in me screamed to stop him from leaving, to pull him closer. But I couldn't. Not here. Not ever. Laxsus was my leader, my friend, and the one who I trusted above all else. But he was most definitely not someone who I should be kissing, or wanting to kiss, for that matter.
As he settled back into his seat, he wiped off his mouth, and Mira and Lissanna squealed in delight. "Oi." He muttered.
I didn't bother looking up, my whole body was red, and the ground between my legs was the only place I was going to look.
"So... how was it?" Lissanna squeaked.
"Honestly, not as bad as I thought it'd be. But if any of you leak to the public I kissed a boy, let alone my teammate, I'll kill you" He growled casting everyone a vicious look for good measure.
