Chapter 1 of 3—Let's the Game Begin
Erza knew something was up. She talked about those boys under her supervision. And talked about those boys, she was concerned about two certain boys.
Erza was their manager but actually those five boys had considered her as their own older sister. She might be fierce and scary—sometimes—but they knew that Erza cared of them.
There was something between Natsu and Gray though Erza couldn't tell what. Maybe for some people those two looked okay and normal—in their way. But for some people who knew them pretty well—like Erza—could notice that something changed. Lately, Erza saw them brawling. Check. That was normal but… wait. Something was different from that. Erza noted a blush often crept on the youngest cheeks while she also noticed that Natsu smiled or grinned more often than usual. And then—she might be miss-seeing things, but—was it flowers she saw blooming between those two?
Okay, she was dense. It might be true.
"There's something with those two," Erza stated one day to her lover.
"Who?" Jellal asked.
The red-haired manager played with her pen before replied, "Natsu and Gray of course. You might think I'm crazy but I can see flowers blooming around them."
Jellal immediately knew what Erza was talking about and a knowing smile spread across his face. However, Erza didn't get what it meant it seemed. Once again, she could be so damn dense sometimes.
"Really?" he commented flatly as if he had no interest in the topic. "But, dear, I guess we had agreed that we'll do the recording at Tuesday. You said we can have a day off tomorrow," Jellal added and pointed at Erza's journal on the table she was writing, frowning. And yes, he was trying to change the subject.
"Really?! Oh damnit! That's mean I have to re-organize your schedule for this week again. And—… Hey! Who said you can call me 'dear'?!" Erza threw her pen and accurately hit the band's leader's temple.
"Aww… come on, Erza. There's only the two of us here," Jellal whined and showed Erza his spoiled pout he would show to his 'dear' Erza only.
"Whatever," Erza breathed out. "Anyway, I'm still curious about those two. Can you guess what's wrong with them?" she asked to Jellal. The latter didn't immediately answer and pretended to think hard.
"There's nothing wrong," Jellal murmured, almost inaudible. His girlfriend raised and eyebrow the Jellal shook his head and repeated louder, "I have no idea either, dear."
Erza sighed, frowning. "I think… they're in love," Erza stated subconsciously.
"Excuse me… who's in love?"
"Nah, it's only random idea that just came up in my head. But what if they're really in love?" Erza said.
"Hello~... who's in love and to whom they're falling?" Jellal repeated seeing Erza ignored his last question.
"It's Natsu and Gray of course, idiot. But I still have no idea who they love. Natsu maybe with… Lisanna? They're childhood friend, that's possible. Though I think Lisanna is dating that Bixlow guy and there's no way she would cheat with Natsu," Erza said. "Then Gray… he might be falling for Lucy, Loke's little sister. But… no, Gray is too feminism for a girl like Lucy…"
Jellal stared at his thoughtful girlfriend. Inwardly he said, 'Damn, dear. I'd never expected you'll be this dense.'
"Hey, Erza, don't think that much. You'll have wrinkles and you'll look older than your real age," Jellal said as poking her frowning temple gently. "…despite you're old already," he added slowly. Wrong move. Erza heard it and turned furious. A punch then found its way to Jellal's jaw, hardly.
"Who you're calling old, huh?! I'm only a damn year older than you!" Erza shouted angrily. Jellal winced while rubbing his ache jaw.
"He- hey… I'm only kidding, okay?"
"Argh! It's annoying!" Erza moaned desperately.
"What? Being old?" Jellal raised an eyebrow then again the second punch for his already-pounding jaw.
"Stop saying I'm old, Fernandez!"
"Hehe… sorry, sorry… it's just so fun teasing you." Jellal chuckled and leaned over to give Erza a peck on her lips. Erza instantly blushed, making him chuckled again as wrapping his arms around Erza's waist beside him. "Hey, your face is hot. Are you getting a sudden fever?" Jellal teasingly asked and pressed his forehead against Erza's who blushed even more.
"Stupid," Erza mumbled as averting her gaze away from her lover's dark orbs. "Still, it's so annoying that they're hiding something from me. I'm their manager for God's sake!"
"They must have their own reasons. You can't push them to talk. You have to be patience too. That's also a job of a manager, right?" Jellal said gently. Erza sighed, breathing out her agreement.
For the next minutes, no one of them intended to talk, just enjoying each other's touch. Erza had lost her interest to re-write the boy's schedules on her notebook so she leaned her back against Jellal's board chest while the boy himself was humming some gentle song that passed in his mind, lulled the girl in his embrace. Erza felt sleepiness started to consume her mind before suddenly her eyes snapped open as an idea popped in.
"That's it!" Erza shouted with a totally-bright eyes, excitedly straightened her sit. Her sudden action startled Jellal.
"Whoa! What's wrong now?" Jellal pouted, clearly disliking her girlfriend ruined the moment.
"I get it now. They can't tell me because they're feeling ashamed to. How cute," Erza said. "So, the only way to make them speak is… forcing them."
"Hey, wa- wait, Erza." Jellal frowned, sitting straight on the couch like Erza. "What did I said about 'being patience and do not pushing things'? I'm sure that 'forcing' has the same meaning as 'pushing'"
"Nope. I'm sure that they just 'can't' to, not 'don't want' to. And if we follow my plan, they will 'have' to. Beside, it can help them convey what they can't to us," Erza smiled in triumphant while Jellal stared at her confusedly.
"Okay, I'm lost here…" he mumbled. Erza gave him a sly smirk.
"Let's play truth or dare."
***Fairy**Tail***
"Why do we have to play? That's game for girls!" Lyon protested. He had been so tired after his schedule all day with Loke and the last thing he wanted was someone asking him to play some stupid games.
"I'm a girl, so as Lucy." Erza nodded at a blonde girl sat beside Loke. She was Lucy Calestal, Loke's sister who was younger by three years. Lucy often visited the dorm of her brother to just hang around with the boys and they didn't mind her presence at all despite their busy schedules because Lucy was a bubbly and interesting girl who could help lighten the mood. Loke was so protective toward his only sister and even claimed that he wouldn't allow anyone—even his bandmates—to date his precious sister. Acute sister-complex, true.
"And Gray can be considered as girl," Erza added, earning a 'hey' from the raven-haired boy who sat beside Lucy.
"I can agree about that," Loke commented, earning another—louder—'hey' from the youngest boy.
"Come on guys, the game sounds fun," Lucy exclaimed and clapped her hands enthusiastically.
"Hmm… if my sister does then, sure. Count me in," Loke said finally, hugging the blonde girl around her shoulder. In his case, sister-complex won over tiredness. Lyon snorted at this.
Natsu openly yawned and wondered why he could get stuck in this mess. And yeah, he remembered. Just after they got home after the schedules of that day, Erza dragged them into this stupid game called truth or dare. The cause of Erza's sudden desire to play such a game was still a mystery. But one thing for sure was they couldn't refuse their manager's reque—… no, order.
Despite their exhaustion after a long day of activities, they kept forcing to sit on the carpeted floor of dorm's living room. Forming a cycle with an empty bottle at the centre, Natsu looked around as trying to hold another yawn and his eyes caught the sight of Gray right across of him. The exhausted raven-haired boy seemed like trying hard to keep himself awake. His eyes were half-lidded as staring the bottle blankly. The sight was somehow so adorable and amusing for Natsu. Smile spread across the rosy-haired boy as something passed in his mind,
'He's mine.'
"I'll spin the bottle now!" Erza shouted excitedly and spun the bottle so… powerfully. The other looked terrified at the bottle as it spun so fast while making a scary voice like, 'WHIIIRRR WHIIIRRR'
"Can you spin it a little slower, Erza?" Loke sweatdropped but the latter didn't hear him because all of her focus was on the bottle.
Finally the bottle stopped at Lucy.
"Oh my God," the blonde muttered under her breath.
"So Lucy, truth or dare?" Erza asked, smiling.
"Truth," she replied confidently.
"Alright then, let's see…" Erza said, thinking of a question. "Have you ever fallen for one of the boys in here?"
Lucy blushed, everyone gasped at the unexpectedly reaction. Their attentions were fully on the youngest girl who was thinking about the best way to answer truthfully yet carefully. Erza impatiently waited with a lifted-eyebrow.
"Well?"
Lucy sighed. "Yep. I had once fallen for one of them. But by time passes, I realize that I just admire him. No more, no less," she answered calmly.
"Who is the guy?" Loke asked, whether it was worried in his voice or anger. Maybe both.
"Sorry, Loke. You have no right to ask me in the game. Now is my turn." Lucy nonchalantly spun the bottle and ignored her brother's stare at her.
This time, the bottle stopped at Jellal. The blue-haired leader only smiled his famous 'gentleman' smile.
"Truth or dare?" Lucy asked.
"Dare," came his reply.
"Alright. Wait a minute." Lucy stood up and walked toward bathroom, searching something and leaving the rest confused.
Some minutes later, Lucy was back and sat back on her seat beside Loke while hiding something with a mischievous smirk. "I dare you to make Erza drink this," Lucy said amusedly as showing the thing she hid before; a dark bottle with some strange liquid in it and a spoon on the other hand.
"What's that and where did you get it from?" Jellal raised an eyebrow while Erza gulping nervously. She got a feeling that she wouldn't like it.
"Don't worry, it's just a medicine for cough(?). I got it in your medical box," replied the blonde casually. "And the taste is reaaaaaly bad," she added as rolling her tongue.
"Lucy! Don't you dare!" Erza shouted frantically and covered her mouth firmly with both palms.
"Oh, I get it. It will be easy," Jellal grinned and took both bottle and spoon from Lucy's hand. He poured a spoonful of those lime-colored liquid into the spoon. "Come on, love. Open wide~~" Jellal chanted as directing the spoon toward Erza's still covered-mouth. Meanwhile, Lucy and other boys had begun snickering at Erza's misfortune.
"There's no way I would swallow that disgusting thing! And stop calling me love! That's gross!" Erza yelled angrily, still shielding her mouth so Jellal couldn't find any opening to insert the spoon.
"Aww… come on, Erza. If you don't drink it I'll lose." Jellal pouted.
"The hell I care!" Erza yelled again then turned toward the snickering boys. "I'll kill you if you don't shut your mouth up now!" It made them immediately turned silent and scared exclude Lucy who kept giggling despite the death glare of the red-haired woman gave her. The blonde knew that Erza wouldn't dare do any harm to girls, especially to the younger ones.
"Geez, if you keep acting like this then I have no other choice," Jellal sighed then drank the medicine himself, earning a surprise and confused look from the other.
"Jellal, what are yo—hmph!" Erza's question was cut off mid-sentence as Jellal pulled her toward him and clashed their lips together, taking the red-haired beauty in surprise.
Jellal actually didn't drink the medicine yet. He just put it inside his cavern and with mouth full of liquid, Jellal carefully inserted his tongue into Erza's mouth. The leader of the band was professional enough if it came to kissing. It was proven by him managed to make Erza open her mouth and moaned desperately in no time. With the wide-open mouth of Erza, Jellal could easily transfer the liquid from his mouth to hers, forcing her to swallow the liquid she hated.
Jellal parted their lips slightly just to let Erza caught her breath. He smiled in triumphant as watching Erza became all red and panting heavily. Right after Erza's eyes met his, Jellal once again kissed her, passionately. Erza moaned softly at the kiss once her lover found her sweet spot inside her cavern. One of Jellal's arm snaked around his lover's waist while the other started stroking her tight. Erza shivered but actually enjoyed both kiss and the sensual touch. The couple was making out and completely oblivious of their surrounding.
Lucy squealed lowly as seeing the hot-romantic scene right in front of her eyes but Loke quickly put his palms over his sister's eyes, trying to protect its innocence though it was in vain. Gray blushed at the scene though no one realized it and wandered his gaze anywhere but at the couple. Natsu also looked uncomfortable but he tried to keep his cool as avoiding the sight of the couple and—for some reason—his boyfriend. Meanwhile, Lyon glared at the couple, clearly annoyed and bothered.
"Get a room, please!" Lyon shouted finally, loud enough to be heard by the couple.
Jellal broke the kiss and smirked at the silver-haired rapper. "We definitely will, later," he said playfully as embracing his all-red-and-speechless girlfriend possessively.
"So, I did the dare right, didn't I?" Jellal asked Lucy who was shoving her brother's hands away from her eyes.
"Yup, you did," Lucy replied happily.
"It's my turn," Jellal said and spun the bottle which stopped at Loke in no time.
"Dare," Loke said before Jellal got a chance to ask. The leader smirked mischievously.
"Dare, eh? I though you'd say 'truth'. Nah, whatever…" Jellal paused, thinking of any good dare to be done by Loke. "I dare you to confess to person you truly love."
Loke snorted at this. "Piece of cake. So… do you want me to confess directly or right now? Through phone perhaps?" Loke asked confidently as picking out his phone.
"Whatever way you like," Jellal shrugged. "But Loke, I don't talk about Aries," he added smugly. Loke looked at the oldest boy in confusion and stopped his activity to dial Aries, a shy girl he was currently close with. "As I said before, the one you truly love," Jellal said, emphasizing at the word 'truly'.
"But, I love Aries," Loke said confusedly.
"No, you don't. When people love someone, he won't say it clearly and directly to the world. He preferred to hide it by himself until he is ready to spread it to the whole universe. Same thing goes on you, Loke," Jellal said wisely, making they who heard it dropped their jaw in amazement. Usually, Jellal was kind of carefree and a joker, not this wise-man one.
"N- nah, you know me, Jellal. I'm not that shy type of man. I love being direct," Loke said.
"Is that so?" Jellal raised an eyebrow. "Then prove it. Right now, right here, confess your feeling to that someone, directly." He emphasized at the word 'here'.
Loke's eyes widened. 'Could it be Jellal knows? That—perhaps—I'm having a great crush on…'
Jellal nodded knowingly, looking at Loke as if he could read the younger's mind. "I do know that you're actually falling for—…" he chanted teasingly but being cut off by Loke who suddenly stood up and shouted hysterically.
"WHOAA! SHUT UP!" Loke started to blush. Everyone was startled by the vocalist's sudden outburst except for Jellal who kept putting on that smug and teasing smirk.
"Oi, Loke, what's the matter? You don't need to yell that loud," Lyon complained, sticking a finger into his ear. Loke blushed even harder and kept quiet, making Jellal's smirk grew wider but no one noticed it.
"Aww… so you're truly in love this time? Finally!" Lucy sniggered at her big brother who groaned desperately in respond.
"So, Loke, how about the dare?" Jellal asked. "I don't insist you to do it right now though," he added after seeing the hesitation on Loke's blushed-face.
While the other waited for his answer patiently, the latter inhaled then exhaled deeply, blush still adoring his cheeks. "Give me some more time," Loke said finally despite the reluctance.
"Hmhp.. talk from someone who love being direct and not a shy-type of guy," Jellal snorted mockingly. "Okay then… but the deadline is… two weeks? That's long enough, no?"
Loke glared at the leader, "If I don't respect you this much, I'd kill you right away," he groaned but Jellal only snickered at the threat.
"My turn," Loke said, breaking the tension he didn't remember happening. The bottle he spun then stopped at Lyon.
"Oh, great," Lyon hissed slowly. Loke raised an eyebrow toward him. "Truth," the silver-haired rapper said.
"Okay," Loke cleared his throat. "Who do you like? As for 'like' I mean someone that is really really special and important for you. Not a family or friend," he asked. The latter rolled his eyes.
"We really start acting like girls here, digging about someone else's love life," Lyon said sarcastically under his breath but a blush didn't go unnoticed by the other as the rapper thinking about the safe answer. "Let's get this over fast then. I have a crush on… on… someone beyond your expectation," he said hesitantly.
"Okay, who?" Loke asked again, this time more persistent.
"A close friend also a 'team' mate, okay? Sorry, you had asked twice. No more question!" Lyon stated then spun the bottle by himself, leaving the other speechless because they were digesting Lyon's statement. A team mate? What team?
"Truth or dare, Erza?" The bottle had stopped at Erza.
"I prefer truth,"
"Okay, I'll think about a question for a moment," Lyon said.
"Don't take it too long,"
"Will you leave Jellal if I give you free strawberry cheese cakes everyday for a whole year?" Lyon asked flatly and rather… random. But the question created a dilemma for the red-haired manager.
"P- pardon…?" Erza stuttered politely. Something she rarely did unless she was in a very nervous state.
"It's simple. I give you cakes as much as you want for a whole year if you broke up with Jellal forever," Lyon explained with a bored face. Erza gulped and looked around, to the band member who looked at her curiously, eager to know her answer. They knew that Erza love cakes and sweets so much. Sometimes she would do anything for the feast, like when she neglected her job for a day just to buy those popular cakes from a new-open shop far away from their city.
"Remember Erza… truth. No lies or whatsoever," Lyon chanted and mentally he smirked. This game seemed like backfiring her now.
Erza's gaze landed to Jellal finally who looked as nervous as his lover. He could predict the answer but it didn't help at all. His heart ain't ready for it.
"I… I will choose cakes," Erza murmured hesitantly, making everyone gasp except for someone next to her. But looked like they had expected such an answer. "But you have to give me a very very lot of it and for an entirely years! For three hundred and sixty five days!" she added loudly toward the silver-haired rapper who smirked amusedly.
Lyon shrugged. "Nah, it's just a question, you know? A simple and truthful one."
"Damn," Erza cursed slowly and grabbed the bottle and spun it, unaware of a hurtful expression on the blue-haired vocalist.
Gray straightened his back as the bottle stop at him. Erza smirked satisfyingly. Finally she could dig something from the certain pretty boy.
Okay, now let's forget about Jellal for a moment.
"Truth or dare, Gray?" Erza asked. Gray bit his lips unconsciously as the sign he was thinking deeply.
"Gray will obviously choose truth," Lyon spoke with a smirk plastered on his face.
"True, though. It's the easiest choice after all," Loke joined in. he smirked toward the youngest mischievously. Gray seemed like a bit offended.
"Making sense," Natsu, who unusually quiet during the game, commented with a sly grin on his face. This last comment really drove Gray's heart to rage. He might be the youngest, cutest and all but he was still a man with pride. And those understatements really crushed his pride down.
"I'll do the dare!" he exclaimed finally, louder than he planned. He mentally smiled in satisfaction when seeing the shock in Loke's, Lyon's and Natsu's face. Obviously they didn't expect Gray's choice.
"Dare, huh? Then wait here for a minute," Erza smirked then stood up, leaving the other wondering what she was going up to. Minutes later, she came back with arms full of cans of soft drink and a small bottle of beer in one hand.
"You guys must be thirsty already, huh? So you can have one," Erza offered while setting those cans and bottle on the floor. "And you, Gray. Your dare is to drink all of this," she added while giving Gray the bottle. Gray's jaw dropped as knowing that it was an alcohol drink.
"B- but Erza, it's a beer," he stuttered, slightly terrified.
"So?"
"You know well that I'm weak of this drink!" Gray said, annoyed. That was true. Gray couldn't hold the affect of alcohol. He would get drunk too easily. Because of that, he would avoid those drinks as far as he could.
"I don't care," a sly smirk subconsciously plastered on Erza's face. "I don't force you to drink it all at once anyway. Just take a sip in every turn of this game including this one and feel free to sip whenever you're thirsty. I just want that bottle to be empty before the game ends, got it?" she stated firmly. Gray flinched at the sudden fierceness of Erza's while the other sweatdropped at the scene. Lyon would usually save his little brother from doing such a risky thing so as Loke and Natsu—though he would prefer an indirect way to do so. However, for the hundreds times, Erza's stubbornness plus fierceness equaled the boys' defeat. They simply couldn't do a single thing.
"You're up to something aren't you?" Jellal whispered which replied by another smirk from Erza.
Gray nervously opened the lid of the bottle and brought it onto his lips. He took a glance to everyone in the room before gulping the content, his temple furrowed as tasting the bitterness of alcohol. He only took a small sip but seemed like it satisfying Erza enough.
"Good job, Gray. Now spin the bottle," Erza said happily.
