Last Chapter:
Why am I thinking about this now, it went from playing games, too I don't like the man who saved me from death, to I have to continue fighting. I'm going crazy." Topaz thought."Ugh never mind." Topaz shook her head and focused on the conversation at hand.
/
"I think Topaz should go first," said Violet smugly.
"Umm... okay," Topaz rubbed her face with her hands thinking of a question," Levy truth or dare?"
"Truth," Levy answered immediately,
"Okay, um," A smile formed on Topaz's face," Levy do you like anyone, who's in this room?"
Levy's face turned bright red. "Yes…" she answered quietly, doing her best not to look at Him. "Now I ask." She said a little too fast, trying to get away from the topic. "Lu-chan, truth or dare?"
"Truth," Lucy said hopping she wasn't asked a question that got to personal.
"How about, what's your dream job?" Levy asked.
"I would love to write for Sorcerer Weekly." Lucy said as if she were in a dream.
"Okay," Lucy said rubbing her hands together," August, truth or dare?"
"Dare!" He answered. No way anyone was giving him the question levy got. Especially when they were planning their first attack the next day.
"Okay, I dare you to keep a straight face and stay quiet for one minute while Erza, Topaz, Natsu, and Gray tickle you if you fail you have to pick Erza or Topaz, give them a hug and tell them you love them."
What kind of dare is that? August wondered. "Fine," He said, setting his jaw. This is going wonderfully. At least it was something that would be easy, the commander made sure that all agents could withstand interrogations. This was literally child's play.
Erza, Natsu, Gray and Topaz came to him while Mira got ready to count. Once Mira started to count, and Erza, Natsu, and Gray began to try and tickle him. Topaz however didn't move. Mira was halfway done with the others not having any luck and Topaz started to move. She came up behind him and poked his guild mark.
"Gah!" The August Yelped, cringing away from Topaz's finger of doom.
"You Lose!" Natsu yelled. The whole guild started to laugh in anticipation on who August was going to pick.
That went well August thought. No was he could choose Erza. That left Topaz…
Erza and Topaz just stood waiting.
Blushing madly August walked over to Topaz.
Topaz started to blush. She wasn't sure if August was going to walk to her but she was kind of hoping he didn't because she was starting to blush like crazy."Why, why am I blushing like this he's my friend…. He's only a friend to me nothing more…..right," Topaz thought seriously starting to doubt her words."He's just my friend right….or was he." The memories of her and August flashed before her eyes, she saw them in front of the guild, the two of them at the compound her face began to turn a deeper red,"August….h-he likes me!"Topaz quickly pushed the thought aside," No...n-no he just doesn't want to have an angry Erza after him, there's nothing between us I'm sure," She kept saying over and over until she actually believed it.
August gently placed his arms around her waist and pulled her close. She smelled wonderful. Topaz was silent and listened to the sound of his heart. It was so calming, it made her feel safe. "I love you." He whispered, barely audible, as he let go.
"What was that August?" Natsu said his flashy smirk present on his face.
"I love you!" He said longer, the embarrassment causing his voice to crack
Topaz's face was a crimson red like Kazi's guild mark.
Violet smirked, about time. She thought.
"Kazi!" August called, returning to seat., "truth or dare?"
"Dare," Kazi said a little to excited for the action.
August glassed at the plate of strawberry cake. "Go try to steal Erza's cake," He ordered.
Kazi went into a cold sweat. Everyone looked at him as if they were designing his tombstone, Died trying to steal Erza's Cake RIP. He walked up behind an unsuspecting victim. She was eating the cake. Oh he was dead for sure. He quickly snatched it out from under her while she had just put a piece in her mouth. He ran and handed it to Elfman."Sorry," he quickly said before, plopping down next to Topaz.
Erza whirled around in her chair, flames in cased her."Who stole my cake!" She yelled searching the room, her eyes landed on Elfman.
Elfman glanced at at Erza then the cake in his hand. "He…" Elfman pointed to Kazi. Erza looked at Kazi who just raised his hands like he didn't know what Elfman was talking about, she turned back to Elfman her eyes daggers.
Elfman gulped. "A real man is afraid of Erza."
"My cake." Erza said holding out her hands.
Elfman reached out his arm as far as it could go to hand her the plate, the farther away she was from his vital organs the better. She grabbed her plate and went back to her table to continue eating.
"Gajeel, truth or dare." Kazi said happy he wasn't the focus of Erza's rage.
"I'm taking a dare." He answered.
"Make one of Mira's ships cannon." Kazi said a grin across his face. Mira walked up to Gajeel and gave him a notebook with SHIPS plastered across the cover.
He opened it, to find that the whole first page was a shrine to something called Nalu. Next page, gruvia. Next page jerza. Next, Augopaz. That's easy, he thought. He walked behind Topaz.
Gajeel vanished from her sight and she turned her head slightly to each side. She stared straight ahead when she felt an ominous presence behind her.
Topaz felt a sudden hard push from behind and before she knew it her nose was in August chest.
Too late August released what happened, he instinctively wrapped his arms around her to stop the impact. As soon as they were no longer in danger of falling, he let go. "Sorry…" He muttered.
"Uh.. it's okay," Topaz said her face once again Crimson.
"Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Mira yelled twirling in circles, her eyes hearts.
"That good enough for ya?" Asked Gajeel
his normal smirk returning.
"Yasssssss!" Mira yelled happily.
"Good, now it's your turn." He said, "mira, truth or dare?"
"Truth," She said her craziness dying down.
"You ship all these people," Gajeel said with an evil smirk. "But who do ya put yourself with?"
"Laxus," Mira muttered her face red.
"Knew it!" Called Gajeel.
"Any way…" Mira said, still blushing "Topaz, truth or dare?"
"Dare.."Topaz hesitantly said. She didn't want to be asked any personal questions, by someone who ships her and August whatever that was. Even though she blushed at the thought.
"I dare you to tell everyone something you've never told anyone!" Mira smile a little too brightly.
Topaz took in a big breath her face already covered in red,"When I was little I used to imagine I was a princess, who had a beautiful prince rescue me from a monster!" She yelled to the whole guild.
"Awww," cooed the guild.
"Ugh," Topaz groaned," Violet truth or dare?"
"I'll do truth." She answered.
"Do you have a crush on anyone?" Topaz said her hands still covering her face.
Violet's face darkened. "A long time ago." She said, her eyes looking at something far away.
"Detail," Was all Topaz said her hands still muffling her sound.
"His name was Apollo. He had the same magic as me." Her tone implied that the conversation was over.
The game went on for a while after until everyone, but a few were dead tired and had trouble keeping open their eyes. After the game was over, and everyone was heading out, Violet remembered that they still needed to invite Natsu and Gajeel to the job. "Topaz, we need to…"
"Yup on it," Topaz said groggily pulling Violet with her to talk to the two.
"Natsu! Gajeel!" She yelled waving them over," Do you two wanna come with us on a job tomorrow, on Mt. Hakubai?"
"Don't see why not Squirt," answered Gajeel, "as long as Salamander stays out of my way."
"Great," Topaz said trying to keep in a yawn.
"Okay we'll see you tomorrow," Natsu said waving as he followed Lucy out of the guild doors.
"See ya…" Answered Violet quietly.
"Okay, jobs done let's go," Kazi said pulling the two over to the door," I need my beauty sleep."
"Wait for me!" Called August, chasing after them. Just a little farther to the safety of the apartment. He could speak freely there, or more freely at least.
