Macao sat in his room late that night. He was on the edge of his bed with his head in his hands. He didn't know what to do. He knew he liked Cana, and he knew Romeo liked Cana, and he needed to do something that would be good for himself and Romeo. Like having an actual relationship with a nice woman who would like Romeo. But he just felt so horrible if he were to go out with Cana. First of all he was SO much older, and second of all he would be taking some of Cana's life away. If she was stuck with him, he would take her away from her youth. Plus he didn't even think that Cana liked him.

"Dad?" Romeo was peaking around his father's door. "Are you okay?"

Macao sighed and rubbed his face in his hands before answering. "Yeah kid, I'm okay." Romeo stepped into the room.

"So…are you going to ask Cana out?" He asked pleading.

Macao looked at his begging son, and sighed, "Are you sure about this buddy?" He asked exasperated. Romeo nodded. "Well alright then, I guess I will."

Romeo beamed at his dad and ran to give him a huge hug. "Thank you dad! This will be great!" He then ran out of the room.

The next day Cana and Erza sat at a table towards the back of the guild talking. The other day when Cana had left and Erza had gone after her, they ended up just going out to drink and have some cake, a little girl time to get themselves together and ready for the relationships they hoped would be in their future.

"I really don't know how to approach Loke, he's been with so many girls, how can I possibly compare, I'm not pretty, just tough. He probably thinks I'm scary." Erza sighed, using her fork to play with the crumbs on her plate.

"Im sure you are much more to him than that." Cana offered. Just show him your soft side. And that you aren't always angry, show him who you are and that you want to open up to him." She continued.

Then the two girls were interrupted by Macao, who stopped right in front of their table. Erza looked at him curiously, and Cana shyly stared at the table.

"Cana?" He asked the brunette girl, and she looked up. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" She was confused but nodded. Saying a small goodbye to Erza as she stood, Cana fallowed Macao off to the side of the room, butterflies in her stomach.

The two stopped and Macao looked slightly hesitant. "Romeo and I have decided that I need to start looking for someone to be with, and help with my loneliness and Romeo's lack of a womanly influence." Cana smiled at him, her heart dropping. He probably just wanted some family advice and was going to go off with some other woman.

"So what I wanted to ask you, is if you would…um…" He cleared his throat nervously, "If you would go out with me? Because I mean, we agreed that you are a great person and Romeo really likes you, and you take good care of him, and us. And I really like you, and spending time with you, so…we figured that it might work." Macao trailed off, realizing that he had been rambling.

Cana beamed at him. "I…I would love to." She said with a blush.

"Really?" He asked hopefully.

"You have no idea how long I've liked you." She said happily, and the she took Macao's face in her hands and kissed him.

For a moment Macao was startled, but then he relaxed into the kiss, bringing his arms around her waist, her hands now coming around his neck.

The two kissed passionately for a bit before they heard cheering and pulled away.

The entire guild was standing and cheering. A "Finally!" Was yelled from the crowed and everyone was smiling at the blushing couple.

But in all the excitement Cana didn't miss Erza stand, and in a brave moment of excitement, grab Loke's tie and pull him into a steamy kiss. Which was fully accepted by the thrilled Loke as he pulled her to him.

Romeo ran over to his father and Cana, a smile on his face. Finally, they could be happy.
