Chapter9

The girl walked and the boy followed her both walking in silence. The more they wanted to get closer the more far they get from each other. Lucas at the girl's back as he gulped. He wants to hold her and comfort her because he knew that she was depressed of the rain but he couldn't. He was just watching her from far away. They finally reached the guild and entered inside.

"Oh, Natsumi and Lucas…" the white haired girl said as she waved her arm towards the both mages. The teens closed their umbrellas and started walking towards them while looking at them with silence.

"It's rare to find the both of you together these days, you know." The blue haired Juvia said as she turned her body to look at them.

"We just met." Natsumi answered and then started looking right and left scanning the guild searching for the blue exceed who wasn't shown at all.

"Did anyone of you see Happy?"

"He just went out with Wendy and Charle," the redhead answered waving the glass of bear. Natsumi frowned as she saw her holding the glass because she knew how dangerous the girl would turn after drinking this drink. She shook her head and decided to leave the place before anything happens to her.

"I will go then." she turned her body to meet the blonde's taller body in front of her. She raised her head slowly to look at his face and paused while having the redhead watching over them and she was already out of the world.

"Hmm, you two still acting jerks after all what happened." She said with voice enough to make the white haired girl to hear.

"Erza!"

The pink haired moved her head down and then started to walk away but before she could reach the door and escape, the titania called her name sending a shiver down her spine.

"Natsumi!"

She stopped and started shaking. She moved her head to look at her and she found that she was holding Lucas between her arms choking him. "H-Help!" he pleaded for help as he couldn't take a breath after being choked by the redhead.

"It's been awhile since the last time the four of us stayed together," she smirked and grabbed the black haired Gray's collar cloth. "Let's play a game!" All four of them prayed that something would happen and would make her forget what said so they can escape her grip.

The four sat on the ground staring nervously at the bottle that was spinning around over and over again praying to God that it wouldn't gesture him so they can escape the embarrassment questions.

"You guys know the rule I just put, -hic-" Erza said as she looked at her friends completely wasted. She smirked evilly, "Whoever won't tell the truth will drink this cup of alcohol." The girl laughed and they felt disgusted to be forced to drink and especially the pink haired girl who decided that she will never drink once again. And finally, the bottle stopped spinning gesturing at the blonde guy shocking him.

"Lucas~" the redhead called smirking.

"W-What?"

"Have you ever kissed a girl?" the redhead smirked as she looked at the flushed blonde mage who was surprised because of the question which came out from nowhere. He gulped and raised his head from the ground to look at her and then took a breath and decided to answer.

"Yes,"

"So you had your first kiss already…" the titania pouted as she looked at the ground. Natsumi looked at Lucas and didn't say anything even though her mind was bothering her to have many words inside of it but she never wanted to spell them. Lucas moved his head to look at her to realize that she was looking at him; she quickly moved her head elsewhere with a blush. Lucas's sweat dropped and then he stretched his arm out to spin the bottle.

"Gray," Lucas caught the other guy's attention to force his head towards him.

"Yes?"

"How do you feel about Juvia?" he asked with a serious tone. Gray's sweat dropped.

"What kind of question is that?!" Gray asked screaming at the blonde.

"You have to answer or else –hic- you will drink." Erza said as she shoved the cup in Gray's face. Gray didn't know what to do, he didn't want to answer and he didn't want to be forced to drink in a time like that. He gulped and stretched his arm out and grabbed the cup and drink it in a once. He took around 4 seconds and then let go of the glass hitting the ground. He stretched his arm out and made the bottle spins.

"Erza, I want you to tell me how much you like Jellal." Gray smirked and laughed thinking he's gonna be great because he is embarrassing the mighty titania but what he didn't know that the redhead was already wasted and she was completely drunk to think about his question.

"A lot, a lot –hic-" Gray and the rest blushed at what she said. Because of the alcohol you can get information that people will never say when they are sober. She grabbed the bottle and started spinning it once again.

Natsumi didn't feel alright while sitting here with her friends because her eyes was always falling at the window realizing that the rain was still pouring. How annoying?! She hated it. Rain made her feel nervous even when she was with her friends. She just hated hearing the sounds of the rain drops on the ground and wanted it to stop.

"Natsumi, Natsumi!" the girl quickly moved her head back to where her friends where, sweat dropping from her face.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong with you?" the redhead asked as she felt annoyed being ignored.

"N-Nothing."

Lucas looked at her and then looked at the window that the rain was still pouring. Apparently, she hated the rain.

"So Natsumi, you never dated a guy before?" Erza asked smirking. Natsumi frowned at the question.

"I think you already know the question. Yes."

"Really? Who?"

"It's me idiot, you forget to quickly." Gray said as he felt her weird.

"Ah," Erza hit her forehead disappointed in herself. "I missed a chance to ask a question."

That was Natsumi's turn to spin and it gestured at Lucas. She stared at the bottle and then raised her head to look at the blonde who was staring at her waiting her to ask. She didn't know what to ask because she didn't have anything to say to him and didn't even bother to think but suddenly a question that came to her mind without even thinking of it, she spoke too quickly.

"Are we really friends?"

A moment of silence from all the people in the room spread. The blonde kept his gaze on the pink haired girl. He actually didn't know what to say, is there an answer to this question originally? He moved his head down not knowing what he is happening to him, he stretched his arm out to grasp on the bear's cup and started drinking it silently.

Natsumi didn't talk back, she just looked at the ground knowing that the answer is 'no'. This answer might be a very happily answer to most of people but she wasn't happy at all. Why would she be happy when she is hurt? Why? Lucas didn't do anything to her except hurting her and now she knew that he did not think of her as a friend. This is getting more and more complicated. Gray knew what was going on with them but preferred not to ask about it because he kinda knew how complicated it's going on between them.
