It was a typical day in the guild, Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel we're fighting it out, Cana was already on her 4th barrel of the hour and Elfman was shouting something about being "a real man". It has been about 2 months since the Grand Magic games, the guild has grown more popular and request have been flying in. It also seemed as though everyone was just a bit happier.
"NATSU CUT THAT RACKET"! Makarov shouted as he slammed his giant fist down on Natsu.
"Ah, Sorry Gramps!" Natsu put on that innocent smile, but Makarov was not impressed.
"Well I am surprised you gave up so simply" Erza walks up from behind with Lucy and Happy.
"My children," Makarov started, "You need to know when to calm yourselves, and where your limits stand! Natsu I know you and Gajeel like testing each other strengths, and Gray you have a habit of stripping…" Gray looks down at himself surprised "But Fairy tail has just recently reclaimed their title as number one guild, so lets show the world why we are number one!" The guild cheered and drank on. By the time they calmed down, team Natsu decided to head over to the bar for some drinks.
"You guys are down the job already?" Mira asked as she handed Natsu a cup of fire. "Yeah it was no big deal it was a piece of cake!"
"they destroyed the entire city…" Lucy said gloomily "Oh come on Luce! Destroying stuff is what I do best!"
"Natsu…" But before she could finish her sentence Romeo rushed through the doors and over to the team.
"Hey Romeo what's up?" Natsu asked. Gajeel, Lilly, and Levy walked over when they saw how distraught Romeo looked.
"I…I.. I need some advice…" Romeo's face almost turned read when he asked. All eyes were on him now. "Advice on what?"
"well… Advice… on… well.. I sort of, kind of, want to…." "come on man just spit it out!" "I WANT ADVICE ON HOW TO KISS THE GIRL I LIKE!" The guild fell silent as everyone turned to him. His face went bright red.
All at one the guild broke out in laughter and smiles. Natsu patted him on the back "Haha, so that's what this is about! I'm sure I can help a litt..
"Natsu, you should take this more seriously! He seems like he really wants help." Lucy said, then she turned to romeo, "I'm sorry Romeo, I don't think we would be good help, I've never kissed anyone before, Natsu's never…"
"Natsu has kissed someone before!" Mira chimed in.
"WHAT!" Lucy eyes went blank.
"Yeah it was only once though…" Natsu replied with his face going red.
"but more importantly Lucy…" Cana walked over with her half empty barrel "You said you Haven't had your first kiss yet?"
"Oh yeah… well… about that, you see…" Her face started to get red and she was feeling uncomfortable.
"Hey it's okay Lucy!" Natsu saw how uncomfortable Lucy was feeling "Beside my first kiss was only…" "it was only just a peck, it lasted for about 5 seconds" Lisanna said as she walked over. Her and Mira made eye contact, and then giggled like it was some inside joke.
"WHAT! YOU WERE NATSU'S FIRST KISS!" Lucy 's eyes went wide. "Yeah, and he was mine!" Lucy just sat there looking like a deer caught in headlights. "But, it was a long time ago Lucy, we were just kids!" Natsu tried to reassure her. "yeah, it was about a few days before I left on the mission with Mira and Big brother elf!"
"WHAT! THAT WASN'T A LONG TIME AGO!"
"Well techniqually it was over 7 years ago!" Mira added. Lucy just fell back with her head spinning
"Natsu… had his first kiss… before.. me.. Natsu did!"
Romeo walked up to him, "Anyway to how did you do it?
"huh?" Natsu looked confused at him.
"I mean how did you get going into it… I mean, what happened?"
Natsu sat and thought to himself, then Lisanna picked up "Well, technically I was the one who initiated it."
Flashback
Natsu and Lisanna were sitting next to each other, next to their little straw hut, watching the sunset. "Hey Natsu?"
"Yeah Lisaana?"
"Will you always be my friend, no matter what happens to me?"
"What? What are you saying? Of course I'll always be your friend, now stop talking like that."
Lisanna just laughed "Okay, good, I was just wondering…" She turns to Natsu and kissed him on the cheek. Shock went up his spine and into his face. Out of an impulse he turned to her, grabbed her face and pressed his lips against hers. The moment did not last long, but it was something they could never forget.
End of Flashback
"hmm, so even though Natsu was the one that kissed you, you technically started it.." Romeo was thinking deeply about something.
"Yep that was basically it!" Lisanna said with a smile. "I hope that helps"
"Yeah I guess…"
"I remember my first kiss…" Erza said from behind him. Oh god here we go everyone thought. "So Erza who was your first kiss?" Lucy asked, still feeling down about how she was the only one who didn't have their first kiss so far.
"Well actually Gray and I were each other's first kiss…" Everyone turned and looked at her in fear. "Erza no…" Cana tried to warn her, but it was too late, Juvia was right behind her.
"LOVE RIVIAL!" Erza sat up and screamed. That was the first time someone scared Erza. "Yo Juvia relax!" Gray stood behind her in his boxers. "We only kissed because it was a dare." Juvia looked up at him "A.. Dare…?
"Oh yes!" Mira took over the story "A lot of us came here when we were children, so we all grew up together. We would play all sorts of games in such. Actually believe it or not but Erza and I fought with each other a lot, and we had these games where whoever lost had to do a dare the winner gives. One time I dared Erza to kiss Gray!"
"Oh yeah I remember that, and Erza once dared you to kiss Laxus when you lost" Cana said in between her gulps.
"Yeah but that sure was the last time we kissed" Laxus said as he winked at Mira, who's face blushed with pink.
"Juvia is sorry Gray sama! Juvia has also already had her first kiss… Juvia has had a lover before Gray sama… But Juvia promises her next kiss will be with you!" Juvia jumped on Gray and took him to the ground.
"WAIT HAS EVERYONE IN THE GUILD KISSED SOMEONE EXEPT FOR ME!?"
"It's okay Lucy just relax." Levy showed up with Jet and Droy at her side.
"Oh thank God levy! You haven't had a first kiss yet right?"
"Well actually…" Jet and Droy interrupted her, "Actually she has kissed two different people before!" They both look at Gajeel with a face that said ha beat that! But he just turned away and ignored them.
"Yeah Jet and Droy both kissed me when they tried asking me out, but as you know I rejected both of them!" Gajeel snickered quietly in the background.
"So, the advice I got is, let her kiss me first, tell her I was dared, and then reject her?"
"Yep you got it kid!" Cana gave Romeo the thumbs up, but he wasn't really amused.
"Just go with it okay buddy?" Natsu said smiling at him. "Yeah just don't be nervous about it and feel for the right time" Gray added. "And just be ready in case it doesn't go as plan, things sometimes happen at random." Erza finally said and finished off the advice.
"Now go out there and make us proud!" Natsu patted his friend on the back with a large grin.
With a blush forming on his face Romeo began to exit the guild, "Thanks everyone!" He ran out of the guild and on to the streets of Magnolia with a smile across his face. Everyone continued to reminisce on the past, talking about how different the guild has become since they were all children here. Lucy slumped lower in her chair. I keep forgetting that they've been together since they were just kids. And Here I am still sort of new… Oh well…
