Wow, this has to be one of my fastest growing stories, as well as the fastest updating one. Since you guys obviously like it, I guess I don't have to say I hope you enjoy. Here's a fluff chapter. Enjoy.

Nashi ran as fast as she could, dragging Rayne behind her. "Hurry up, she's on our asses!" He shouted.

"You think I don't see that numbnuts?" Nashi shouted back, weaving through a crowd of people. "We need a place to hide."

"How about up there?"

"Of course you would pick a god damn ice cream shop!"

"That was your idea!"

Nashi just growled and ran into the ice cream shop. "Get down!"

They both ducked down below the windows and waited until they heard the clinking of Ruby's armor pass by the shop.

"That was too close." Nashi said, panting. "I don't think I've ever run faster than when I'm running from Ruby."

"I know what you mean." Rayne said. "Thanks for dragging me out of there."

"You owe me, buy me some ice cream."

"The fire mage eating frozen treats?" Rayne asked, raising an eyebrow

"Shut up and buy it." Nashi said, punching his shoulder.

They both got up, dusting themselves off. Nashi went and sat down at a nearby table, while Rayne went over and took out some of the cash he had gotten from the recent job. When he came back, he had two vanilla ice cream cones in his hands. "Here." He handed one to her.

"Aw you're so sweet." She smiled at him, taking the ice cream

"I can't tell if that was sarcasm or a bad pun."

"Both."

He sat down across from her, watching her intently was she ate her ice cream. She didn't notice for a little, as she quickly ate the ice cream that she had been given. Only after noticing that Rayne hadn't been eating much, she looked up. "That's gonna melt."

Rayne said nothing as he looked to his ice cream, still a bit out of it.

"Is there something on my face?" Nashi asked, rubbing her cheeks.

"No. You're fine." Rayne said.

"Well then why the hell are you staring at me?"

"You're easier on the eyes compared to Ruby."

"Well if that's a compliment, then thank you." Nashi replied, although she did feel a warmth in her cheeks.

"No problem."

"So, since we're all here and comfortable, why not share secrets?"

"What, so you can spread lies around the guild and possibly blackmail me?"

"Jeez, talk about trust issues." Nashi pouted.

"Fine, I'll play along with your silly game."

"Okay. Who do you like?"

In his head, he smoothly just leaned forward and said in the most bad ass voice ever, "You."

But in reality, he almost fell out of the chair on his "bad ass". "What?"

"You heard me." Nashi said, a little more demanding this time. "Who do you like?"

"Why do you care who I like?"

"I don't."

"Then why did you ask?"

"Because I think I like you, you dumb ass!" Nashi screamed. In her head of course, there was no way she would ever reveal that embarrassing little fact.

"Maybe I'm just interested in your love life."

"Like hell you are."

"Fine, then just tell me about her."

"No way."

"Then tell me about him."

"I'm not gay, Nashi."

Nashi pouted again. "Come on, just tell me about her."

Rayen rolled his eyes. "If it'll get you to shut up."

"Yes!" Nashi fist pumped, jumping up and down in her chair a little.

Rayne had to think. What could he say that wouldn't give away the fact that he had a slight crush on the mage in front of him. "Well...Her eyes are like shining crystals, they sparkle, even when she's upset. She's got the cutest laugh and it's like all of your problems just melt away as the sound washes over you. She can be a little rough and tumble sometimes, but that just makes her even more attractive. She's astounding in every way possible and I don't know what I'm going to do about it."

Nashi felt a fuzzy feeling in her gut, she didn't know if it was jealousy...or something else. It could be something in the ice cream.

Rayne sighed. "There, I told you about mine, now tell me about yours."

Nashi mentally cussed. There's no way she could just flat out tell him that he was her crush. Plus, she wasn't as much as a romantic as Rayne was.

"Well, uh...I guess you could say we've been friends for a while now. And he's usually there for me whenever I need him. Although my dad kinda doesn't like him, I think he's pretty cool. I mean there's tons of things the guy could do better, but he's doing what he can. I mean, th efact that he looks like he could totally turn the worst day into the best one is something in itself. I guess you could say I'm in the same situation as you."

Rayne nodded, looking at his melting ice cream.

"You really should finish that." Nashi said.

"Yeah, yeah. I got it." He said, starting to lick away all the vanilla ice cream that had started to drip down the side of his cone.

Nashi leaned back in her chair, closing her eyes. Rayne looked on her a little longer. There weren't many times where you could admire Nashi, she was always moving and there never really was a chance where you could catch her relaxing in the guild. She was fit, busty, funny, cute, optimistic, and a smart ass. She was everything he wanted and more. Quickly finishing up the rest of his ice cream, he coughed to get Nashi's attention.

She opened one eye. "What is it?"

"We should probably go back to the guid, I'm sure Ruby's given up by now."

Nashi shrugged. "It's worth a shot."

They both got up, and walked to the doorway. Rayne opened the door for Nashi.

"Thanks, this was nice." Nashi said as she left the store. "We should do it again next time."

"Sounds good." Rayne said, following her. "Only you're paying next time."

Andddd...scene. I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did when playing it out in my head. Don't forget, a review is not necessary, but it's always nice to see a new one. Until next time, my friends.
