WHEN WE WERE KIDS
CHAPTER SEVEN(THAT'S NANA IN JAPAPNESE)
The light shone through the window of my room as I woke up. Last night came back to me in a flash, and the last thing I remember doing was falling to sleep next to Natsu on the couch. How did I get into my bed? I sat up in a flash, and got my bearings. I was definitly in my room. I got up, and noticed I was still in my clothes from last night, they were still slitghlty damp. I walked into the kitchen, and found obba-chan, laying a plate of toast and jam down, in front of, Natsu?
"Good morning Lulu." Obba-chan said. Natsu turned around and noticed me.
"Yo."
"Morning. What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I kind of fell asleep on the couch, and Gramps didn't want to wake me, so here I am."
"Oh. How come I woke up in bed this morning, fully clothed?" I asked obba-chan.
"I helped you to bed, you were half asleep, and you collapsed as soon as your head touched the pillow." She answered, putting two pieces of bread in the toaster. "Go and get some different clothes on Lulu, then I'll give you your toast."
"Okay." I said, and went into my room. We had school again, so I took another black skirt and white shirt, but I chose white knee socks, and a red ribbon. When I got back into the kitchen, I saw Natsu with his head in his arms.
"Hangover?" I asked him, as I took a seat at the round table. All I got in response was a groan, wich I guessed meant yes.
"Jeez, what happened last night, I can't remeber anything, all I can remember is sitting down in an alley and drinking vodka." He said, lifting his head up to take the cup of water Silver was giving him. "Thanks, obba-chan."
"You hadn't come home, so Mocky came to see if you were here, taking apples or something. He had already been to check round at everyone else's house. He got very worried, and told me he couldn't find you. When Lucy came back, she offered to go and look for you. She found you in a dark alley, and carried you back. Poor things, getting soaked in the rain. It was midnight when she arrived back with you." Silver said, layind down a plate with two pieces of strawberry jam on toast in front of me.
"Sorry...Thanks, Luce. Would you mind..." he said to me.
"It's alright, I already made the promise not to tell anyone last night. But anyway, how come you have scratches on your face, and why were you were shirtless?"
"I can't remember..." He said, rubbing his head.
We got ready for school, and went out by the door. We went to Cana's house, and knocked at the door, but there was no replie. So we went.
"So...what did I say?" He asked, breaking the silence.
"Huh?"
"What did I say? When I was shit-faced that is." He repeated. I rembered him crying, and saying stuff like he needed a friend, and I rembered singing to him, I lushed at the thought.
"Oh...well, you asked me what the play was-"
"Hold on!" He said, holding a hand up and squeezing his eyes shut. "Romeo and Juliette, right?"
"Yes! Did you remember?"
"Yes, and you told me the story, and I said it was depressing, and you said it was beautiful." He said, snapping his eyes open. I hope he didn't remember me singing...
"U-um, yes. D-do you remember anything else?"
"Hmmm...not really...it sort of all blurry, I remember crying though." He said, turning a light shade of red.
"Yes, you did, but it was kind of cute. I won't tell anyone, don't worry." He looked at me agrily as I said the cute part. We continued to walk in silence. He stopped all of a sudden. I spun around to face him. "What's the matter?"
"I-I-I remember saying that stuff to you." He said, blushing a deep red.
"What stuff?" I asked. He scartched the back of his head awkwardly.
"You know... about how you were a real friend and all that..."
"Oh."
"I'm sorry, but..."
"But what?"
"It's true. Your like family to me, that's how special you are. And even though it hasn't been long, it feels like an eternity."
"Thanks, that's how I feel to." I said.
"Seriously though, I think you might be my best friend Lucy." And he smiled a me. I blushed, and my mouth made a little 'o'. Best friend...
"Natsu, I think you might be mine to."
"Best friends?"
"Best friends."
And we laughed, and continued walking towards school.
"Hey...listen. If you want to talk or...anything, were all willing to listen." I said, refering to the gang.
"I know...thanks." He said, adjusting his scarf. "I...I just...well, it's complicated."
"You said something about your father last night."
"Hm." He answered, crossing his arms.
" Do you want to tell me?" I offered. His eyes looked down at the sidewalk, then at me, and he smiled.
"Hey, it rained last night, didn't it?" He said, changing the subject. I understood, and went along with it.
"Yeah. And not just a light shower."
"Well that's good knews, hopefully, it will rain later on in the week." He said, pointing at the mountain.
We got to school, and Natsu was imediatly bombarded with questions as to why he wasn't there the previous day.
"Whoa, whoa, calm down everyone. I was just sick, that's all." He said, and took my hand. "Now please excuse me, Lucy wanted me to show her the games room." And he dragged me along with him.
"Wait, what?" I said, befudled. Once we were far away from the crowd, I crossed my arms and pouted. "That's the second time someone has used me as an escape route, it's getting tiring..."
"Sorry, I just don't want to be harassed by questions right now. But since we are here, I might as well show you to the games room." He said, taking my hand again. He pulled me to a room with five tables, and four chairs at each of them. "This is Cana's faviroute room, besides being a heavy drinker, she's also an avid gambler, and here there is a beautiful poker set that she loves. Do you play?"
"I know the the basics, yes, but seeing how Cana is an amazing drinker, I'm not sure I would really want to play against her."
"Wait till you play strip poker against her." He said, I raised an eyebrow.
"What? You, played strip poker with Cana?"
"With Gray and Erza, but yeah."
"Oh really? How far did you go?"
"I was without my shirt and scarf, that's all. You are gonna play against her soon, she will force you, you wait. On friday nights, we sometimes get together at her house. Her father is always away, so the house is hers. You'll see, I bet this Friday, she will."
And she did. At school, she asked me on thursday, and, not wanting to miss out on anything, I accepted. On friday, Erza, Gray, Natsu, Cana, Juvia, and me were all going to her house for the weekend. As we walked home from school, Cana was telling us her plans. "Well, tonight, I am thinking some light drinking, and most definitly a dare game. Tomorrow I think some poker, strip, of course." She said. I shuddered. Natsu noticed and laughed.
"What is it?" Cana asked.
"I was just thinking, this is gonna be kinda awkward for Lucy, isn't it. I mean, we've all known each other for a while, and we've played before, but for her..." He said, laughing harder. I blushed bright red.
"Aw, poor thing, and she's an IAH too, this will be fun... You've already kissed someone on the lips before, reassure me so I know we are not corrupting you here." Cana said. I blushed more and crossed my arms.
"Well...I never really knew any other kids my age...so..." I said. They all stopped in there tracks.
"Hold on, you've never kissed someone? Not even on the cheek?" Juvia said.
"Well...no..." I blushed more.
"I don't think Lucy can be dared the usual ones..." Erza said, disapointed. "And there I was, hoping I could get her to kiss Cana..."
"What?" I said. "Wait, I might as well play, give me the usual ones, I need to get over it some time." I said, feeling insulted. They all agreed, and we continued our walk to number eight.
Cana's house was like mine and Natsu's, same room disposition, the only change was the bottles, lined up all over the house. She led us to her room, it was bigger than mine. Her bed was in a corner, and she had a fluffy rug on the floor. She chucked her bag into a corner, and sat down, on the rug, everybody did the same thing, sitting down, forming a circle. I sat between Juvia and Erza. Cana clapped her hands together and took an empty bottle out of her bag, and set it in the middle of the floor. I was really becoming nervous now, about kissing someone. I didn't know how to, wether to pucker my lips or just leave them, and I didn't really know if I wanted to. Of course, I wanted to try kissing, but it was just, the first time is meant to be special and all? With the one you love. Well, it would be special, I was with my friends, who I loved very much and who would only make a big deal out of it for five minutes or so, so I swallowed up my pride and laughed along with everyone else.
"Cana, I thought we were playing truth or dare, not spin the bottle." I said.
"Don't worry yourself, the bottle is to decide who has the go giving the first dare, and who they have to give it to. We play this game with no truths, we are people of action." She replied.
Her hand extended towards the bottle in a overly slow way, everyone did a drumroll as it spun, painfully long, until it came to a stop on the person that would be most likely to slaughter us all.
Cana Alberona.
She smiled slily, and looked at me. I shivered, and my face turned red.
