Kinana bit her lip hesitatingly.

It was a nice, warm, summer's day and she had been enjoying Erik's first real day of freedom (legal freedom where no form of guards were going to pop out of the bushes and try to drag him back to prison) with a picnic in the park. It had been a nice, quiet, relaxing day (Thank God they chose to go as far from Magnolia as possible or half the guild will be in the bushes spying on them) and Erik had succumbed to general exhaustion by falling asleep in her lap as she read her book.

It had been when she took a small break after finishing a particularly gripping chapter that she realised he had fallen asleep and when her small break turned into a very long one as she studied his face, a thought started to grow in her mind.

First, she thought about how very beautiful he was.

She had always known it but it was now she really got to appreciate it.

His fine sharp features that softened ever so slightly in his sleep, the dangerously sexy scar running down his face, how the sun brought out bronze and gold strands in his chestnut hair, and how very rugged and gorgeous he looked in general….

And then her appreciation zoomed in on a pair of thin but strong and firm lips, and her mind hurtled to another thought – how soft would they be against hers?!

She blushed at the very thought. Her face burning hotly as she couldn't shake off the idea of finding out exactly how soft those lips were.

Could she do it?

After all despite all of Cana's innuendos and Mira's teasing, they were just friends. They had always been just friends though their bond has always been incredibly strong and unique. One kiss might ruin it all and she would lose him forever.

After all what if he didn't want to kiss her? What if he wasn't interested in her like that? What if he was actually gay?!

It can be so difficult to tell with the way he kept everything to himself, he was only just now opening up to her properly and she really didn't want to scare him away.

But then what if she didn't do it, and loses him anyway?

He was a good-looking, kind, strong, fiercely intelligent and confident man. She knows that he has turned many heads and if he thought she wasn't interested he had a hoard of woman to pick from.

Screw it!

What was she? A milk maid or a Fairy Tail member?

Kinana plucked all of her Fairy Tail courage, she could almost hear Cana and Mira cheering her on, took a deep breath, and then leaned down and brushed her lips gently against his before she quickly pulled back.

Nothing happened.

Nothing at all.

Kinana couldn't help but slump back against the tree behind her and sigh in relief.

All that drama for nothing.

(Cobra smirked, he heard everything.)
