Why hello there! Yes, I know it's been so long that I don't know how to use fanfiction that well any more, but that's all my fault. I've been swamped with tests, exams, and all this other crap. SO SORRY. I REALLY AM, TRULY, SORRY!
So, for your forgiveness, I have written up a special chapter just for you guys! I know it's SUPER short, but I honestly couldn't think of what to write. I HAD A WRITING BLOCK. So hopefully, you forgive me for my absence and enjoy.
*SPOILER* And, I KNOW that everyone had that time skip or whatever and now Macao's SUPER old and whatnot, but just, PRETEND HE DIDN'T. PRETEND HE'S STILL IN HIS THIRTIES.
I DO NOT OWN THE FAIRY TAIL CHARACTERS. I wish I did. But then, it wouldn't be a very interesting story.
Macao's POV
"Sorry I'm late!" I spinned around to see the most stunning person I had ever seen in my entire life.
"I hope I'm not too formal…" I stared in bewilderment as the person I had known as Cana, the girl who didn't give a rat's ass, stood in front of me; amazingly beautiful.
"You look great!" I was startled by my son's words as he ran up to her and gave her a hug.
Even if she was half my age and quite young for me, Cana made me feel like an adult, and made me feel responsible. Her long brown hair fell to her waist, covering half of the dark purple dress she wore. Not only did she make me feel like an adult, she made me want to be an adult. To protect her. To protect Romeo.
"Well? Aren't you going to say anything?" Cana laughed. I chuckled, and then covered my reddening face.
"You look amazing." I smiled and then gave her a brief hug before grabbing hold to Romeo's hand.
"We're going to the movies today, right?" Romeo asked.
"Yeah. To watch that new movie." I swung his arm back in forth in rhythm to our feet along with Cana.
"Are you excited?"
"Of course! Anything I do with you is fun anyways. Without you, dads just another annoying person." I playfully ruffled his hair as he and Cana busted out laughing.
"Watch your mouth, kid. Just because you're with the fun one," I paused to point at Cana, "doesn't mean you're laid off the same rules as being my son." I joked. He continued to smile at me, until I swiftly lifted him off of the ground and hefted him onto my shoulders. He squared his legs around my head and then grabbed hold of ears. I fidgeted as he messed around with my face, poking my eyes and pinching my nose. Occasionally, he would lean down to plant a kiss across my forehead.
"But man, what're we going to do? There's no way we'll make it!"
"Look, we can do this. Just w-"
"RONNIE! LOOK OUT!" BOOM!
The constant explosions played over and over on the movie screen as three guys ran and jumped over plastic cars and foam buildings. I was half asleep, hoping that this unrealistic movie would end soon. I carefully got out of my seat and made my way to the exit to get some time away from this horrible film. We were only ten minutes in, and had two hours left. Might as well go out for a while and then come back before Romeo notices. As I approached the double doors, a hand caught my shoulder.
"Take me with you. There's no way I'll be able to survive another minute." Cana heaved.
Cana's POV
Twenty shots, two kegs of beer, and forty shells of peanuts. Even after all of this, Macao and I hadn't gone down. We had already drained out the bartender's beer, so all there was left to drink were the expensive bottles of wine and champagne.
"I'll take the Pinot Noir." I pointed at the purplish, reddish bottle that sat on the wall. Macao handed me a corkscrew, and with a twist and pull, I yanked out the cork of the bottle. I took a slug of the fine wine and then passed it to Macao, now shelling more peanuts.
"So… why'd you invite me anyways?" I giggled as Macao dribbled wine over his dress shirt.
"I think Romeo has a crush on you or something'. " Macao slurred.
"Oh yeah? What about Lucy, huh?" I laughed. I grabbed the bottle from him and let the reddish liquid cascade down into my mouth.
"He wants you. What's a man supposed to do when his son wants to be with a full grown woman?"
"Well, what about you? You had to want me here to invite me. If not, then you wouldn't be having any fun!" I jabbed my finger into his chest and then handed him the bottle.
"Me? Of course I wanted you her!" I gasped. I was instantly aware of the situation at the moment, and Macao covered his mouth with his hand. He WANTED me here!
"Uh…" Macao mumbled.
"I'm… gonna go back to get Romeo. I said, getting up from my seat. Before I reached to grab my purse, Macao put his hand on my shoulder. I quickly put my eye on his hand, which looked rustic and rough.
"Don't leave." He put his other hand on my shoulder and then slowly rubbed it. His skin was colder than mine, making my shiver.
"Please don't leave. You're good company. And-and…and I-I…"
"Just shut up and pass the booze, Macao." I laughed. I slid back onto the barstool and smiled at him, satisfied. It was good like this. Great. The two of us; alone in a bar.
Silence.
With only the sounds of hearts beating for each other.
So yeah, this IS a chapter, but kinda REALLY SHORT and is a bit like, BEHIND THE SCENES. You know? Like what happens to the other characters as the main plot is still going on. I'm still wondering if I want to do this. It's a little hard, but it gives a good backstory. Oh well. C&C please! *cue peace sign and cheesy smile.*
