"Let's play!" Cana exclaimed and the whole guild turned to look at her. The brunette wore a smirk and lazily got off from the table she's sitting on. Along with her barrel of liquor she took a seat between Natsu and Lucy at the table not far away from her.
"Hey you two," she started, eyeing the couple knowingly. "I've got these new cards," she showed it to them, "and I'd like to give it a try."
"Huh?" Lucy looked at her, puzzled.
"Here," Cana removed all of Natsu's plate from the table and spread her cards instead. "You have to pick one, and if your partner didn't get the same card as you," one shapely brow raised and an evil smirk appeared on the female drunkard's face. "…the other one needs to be punished; Truth or Dare, honey."
"Sounds fun!" Natsu cheered, thumping his fists on the table, making Cana's cards move out of their place.
"Now who else wants to join?!"
Everybody inside the guild cheered, agreeing with Cana's game as they all gathered around at the biggest table at the guild.
Cana looked around and saw Gray sitting at the bar counter as well as Juvia.
The brunette was about to walk up to them when she heard Juvia's silent pleadings.
"G-gray-sama, why don't we join them?" she said shakingly, tears forming on the corner of her eyes, her lips curling as she looked at the gathered crowd in front of them. "J-juvia wants to join too…"
Gray tch-ed, sipping his third mug of beer as he trailed his own eyes at the crowd. "Then join them," he answered coolly.
"But Juvia wants to join it with you!" the girl insisted, her hands formed in tiny fists in front of her chest, her lips quivering.
"O-oi! Don't cry!" Gray scowled, "Why do I have to join that silly game? Like what I said, go ahead if you want to join them."
"Right, Juvia." Cana appeared beside her, "Don't mind that bastard," she smiled at the water mage, "Join join!"
"B-but…" Cana was already leading the blue-haired girl on their table when Gray grabbed Juvia's free hand.
'Geez, I know you're up to something Cana.' Gray thought to himself, his hold on Juvia's hand tightened.
"Why don't you join too?" Cana asked him, shrugging her shoulders.
"N-no way!" he tugged Juvia away from Cana, and the girl bumped to his naked chest. "We're fine here you know." His scowl hardened and Cana smiled knowingly.
"Okay okay," she raised her hands up, surrendering as she walked back on their table.
.
The participants laughed as for the third time, Natsu still picked the wrong card.
"Natsu!" Lucy cried as the fire dragon slayer scratched his head.
"Damn, not again." He said turning to Cana, who's playing the hostess.
"Truth or Dare?" She asked the pink-haired boy.
Natsu looked upwards as if he was thinking seriously. "Dare!" he exclaimed.
"Woah," the rest reacted, the last two punishments that he took were all 'truth' and he answered them both with a non-sense.
"Okay." Cana inhaled and the whole guild anticipated her next words. "Go over there," she pointed at table nearby them, where Gray along with Juvia was now settled. "Ask Juvia to go out with you for today."
Natsu's eyes widened, bulging out of it's socket. His whole face turning red. "W-what…" he sputtered.
Cana elbowed Lucy on her side and whispered. "Just watch." And the spirit mage nodded, observing her partner quietly.
"Gihi~ As if you have a chance." Gajeel commented from the corner, grinning widely at the embarrassing situation of his fellow dragon slayer.
To everyone's surprise, Natsu made his way on the said table without any word and everyone became silent.
"Seriously?" Cana laughed to herself, Lucy on the other hand giggled.
"Juvia," Natsu called the girl who's been laughing on whatever Gray was saying. Gray who sat beside the water mage frowned.
"Oi what's your problem?" the Ice mage asked harshly.
Natsu only spared him a glance and turning his whole attention back at the blue-haired water mage. "Will you go out with me?"
Everyone gaped at the scene while Juvia's face turned red as Erza's hair, steam coming out from her nose and ears.
Juvia was about to faint when Natsu offered a hand to her. And to everybody's surprise, Natsu's all fired up, all dead serious about the dare.
"W-w-w-w-what…" Juvia muttered to herself as Gray pulled her into his chest, saving her from the fall. "N-n-na-na-natsu-san!"
Gray stared at the girl in front of him. 'What kind of reaction is that? Shouldn't you just reject him right away? And for Mavis' sake! It was all a goddamn dare!'
"I-it's rare for Juvia to receive a confession." the girl whispered to herself. And Gray heard it, his face darkening.
"Oh! Look at Gray's face!" someone from the crowd yelled.
"He's not amused! He's not amused!" Happy clapped above them, earning a glare from the Ice mage.
"Shut up!" he blushed dangerously.
"See?" Cana whispered at Lucy who's giggling.
"Looks like Gray is jealous." The blonde commented.
Gray knew that Juvia can be easily persuaded, and it doesn't matter who's persuading her as long as it's new or rare to her (like a love confession) she'll took a bite on it.
"R-really?" the blue-haired girl fidgeted, sitting up straightly.
Gray couldn't believe it! He wanted to throw Natsu out of the guild and-
W-wait…
"Juvia," he called her but the bluenette's attention was not on him.
"Juvia," he called again but still no answer. He tapped her shoulders and turned her around to face him. He then stared at Natsu and gave him a finger before muttering a low curse at him, shooing him in the process.
Natsu scowled and turned his eyes back on Cana. His eyes telling her: "Was it enough already?"
Cana then nodded and the game continued.
.
"Hey Juvia!" Gray shook her gently, trying to wake her up from her imagination.
"Don't tell me that you're imagining on going out with Flamebrain?!"
Hearts then appeared on the bluenette's eyes. "Oh..." she hummed, smiling to herself as her imagination continued.
'How can you focus on your imagination in this kind of situation?!' he thought.
"Yes, Gray-sama… I would like to go out with you!"
"Huh?" he lowered his gaze on her blushing cheeks. "M-me?"
"Oh, Gray-sama… I do! I do!"
"H-hey! Juvia, wake up!" he shook her again and this time the blue-haired girl regained her senses.
"A-are you?" the Ice mage gulped. "Are you thinking of me instead of Natsu?" he asked shyly, his right hand cupped the back of his neck.
"Uh-huh." The girl beamed, "And it would be nice if it's Gray-sama. Only Gray-sama who will confess to Juvia."
"Y-yeah," Gray found himself smiling despite the hotness he's feeling.
Thank you for reading!
