Disclaimer: Pshah! If anyone knows this, I will marry you.
WHEN WE WERE KIDS
CHAPTER EIGHT
The bottle didn't lie. It pointed right at Cana. Great, she got to choose who her first dare would be... she smiled an evil grin, and looked at each one of us in turn. Erza said "Cana is well known for doing the most evil dares ever, so count yourself lucky if it won't be you...". I shuddered to think the horrors she had installed for us. Her eyes stopped on Juvia.
"Juvia. I want you to sing Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer while drinking a bottle of beer. And sing it with feel..." She said.
"I was expecting worse." I muttered into Erza's ear.
"She goes easy on Juvia, because she's with Gray, and even though Gray doesn't act like it, he actually hates it when Juvia does something...you know...with anybody else, no matter how jokey it may be."
"Oh, is Juvia the same?"
"If it's jokey she doesn't mind so much, but otherwise, you're dead."
Juvia nodded, and took the bottle Cana was passing her. She started singing. "Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, had a very shiny ..." Her words soon became an uncomprehensible muddle of sounds, as beer poured into her mouth. It was hilarious. Juvia, who was usually very reserved, was hilarious. We laughed until she had finished the song, along with most of the bottle. She raised her arms at the applause we gave her, and handed the bottle back to Cana. "My go. Gray, my beloved, I choose you." She said, cuddling up to his shoulder. "Jeez, if you two are gonna get all lovey dovey, please don't do it next to me." Natsu said. He was sitting in between Gray and Cana, in front of me.
"Okay, what's my dare." Gray said, ignoring Natsu's comment.
"I want you, to kiss me for three whole minutes." She said, blushing. Gray sighed, but all of us 'knew he actually wanted too.
"Oh alright." Gray said, and put his lips on hers. I tried to anylyse it, for future reference. Juvia tilted her head gently to the right, and rested her lips, not completely, but pursing them sligtly. Gray did the same. They both closed their eyes, and kissed.
"Ew, I told you, not next to me." Natsu said, leaning away from Gray. Gray extended his arm out, and managed to bash Natsu in the ribs. Juvia didn't notice. "Why you!" And Natsu hit him back. Gray continued to randomly swing his arm in Natsu's direction, while he got some hits in his back, but Juvia still didn't notice. The two rivals gave up halfway through the time, and split apart, smiling at each other.
"Okay, it's my go now.I dare you, Tabasco freak, I want you to write IDIOT on your forehead."
"Hey! No fair-"
"A dares a dare, Natsu." Cana said, passing him a pen.
"Fine. Where's a mirror."
"You can't write it in a mirror. It'll be backwards." Gray said.
"So?"
"I want to be able to see the word nice and clear." Gray said, being cool dude again, and putting his arm over Juvia's shoulder. Natsu scowled at him, and passed me the pen.
"What?" I asked, not understanding.
"Can you write it please? Your in front of me, so it's easier." And he sulked. I took the pen, and leaned towards his face, pushing his bangs up. He crossed his arms, and looked angry, like a child. I uncapped the pen, and put the tip to his skin. Making an effort to make it readable, I wrote in capitals "IDIOT". Just when I was finishing the 'T', something hit me hard on my back. Since I was on my knees, I lost my balance, and fell forwards, onto Natsu.
"Kya!"
"Lucy?!" He said, starled. I blushed, and scrambled to my normal sitting position.
"Blimey Lucy, keep your hormones under control." Cana said, laughing heaviliy.
"Who was it that pushed me!?" I shouted, blushing even more heavily. Natsu was checking to see if the ink was dry. I noticed Cana laughing espacially.
"Cana?" I threatened.
"Oh come on, give a girl some fun." She said, lifting her hands up in an innocent manner. I gave her a mess-with-me-and-I'll-kill-you looks. "Sorry, sorry..." She said.
"Let's see, Chilli pepper?" Gray said. Natsu turned his head towards him, and Gray bust out laughing.
"Can I take it of now?" He said, fuming.
"Yep, then it's your go." Cana said. Natsu wiped the ink off, and found a victim.
"Erza... I want you to sing 'I love unicorns' out on the road. And loud!" He said. Erza smiled. I found it hard to imagine Erza singing that, and I thougt she wouldn't.
"Please. To easy." She said, to my surprise. She got up, and went outside, the sun was set, and it was dark, but still enought light to see the red headed figure, walk out onto the middle of the road, and shout, with all of her might "I LOVE UNICOOOOOOORNS !"
We all rolled about laughing our heads off. She came back in, smiling proudly. We all cheered her, and she smiled, closing her eyes, looking wise. 'How can someone who's just done that look wise? Well, I guess it's Erza...' I thought.
"Now, now, settle down. You'll wake up the neighborhood." She said.
"You just shouted I love unicorns and you telling us not to be loud?" Gray said. She gave him a shooting daggers look.
"Well, I guess it's time for the next dare." She said. I gulped. It was either going to be me or Cana. We sat back down in our circle.
"Right. I choose Cana. Even though I don't play such stupid games-"
"You just did." I pointed out. She gave me that look, and everyone gasped. "Not play it, I mean." I added, saving myself.
"As I was saying, even though I don't play such stupid games, I will play along and give you an awful dare. Bickslow is your neighborgh, isn't he?"
"No. He lives two houses away."
"It doesn't matter. You are going to knock at his door, and make sure that he answers, and when he opens it, I want you to show him your..." Erza said, pointing her hands towards her chest.
"No. No way." Cana said, shacking her head.
"Remember the time you told me to show Freedl, at school? Well this is payback." Erza said, an evil grin appearing on her face. I tried not to think about the horrors installed with this game. Cana sighed, and picked up a bottle of alcohol, downing it for strength.
"Uch. Fuck." She said, unbuttoning her shirt, wearing only her bra. The boys gawked.
"Gray-Sama!" Juvia said, and slapped him. Erza looked at both of them, and slapped them harder.
"Ooooowwwww...Sorry, alright!" Natsu said, holding his hand to his cheek.
"Sheesh, it's not my fault I'm a dude, okay?"
"Try and keep your hormones to yourselfs. It's disturbing." I added, but I remembered the first night I was in Magnolia, and shut my mouth. 'Lucy, keep your mind controlled.' I mentally told myself.
"Poor boys. Never seen a girl in a bra before?" Cana joked, getting up.
"I have!" They both said, in unison. Cana gave them a questioning look.
"Gray, I know he has, believe me, I used to be with him. But, Natsu?"
"I must admit, where on earthland did you see such stuff?" Erza asked him. I gasped, and realised. Thankfully, all three girls were looking at him, so I could give him a threatening look. He saw it, and very undiscreetly raised his shoulders at me. I shot him an even more threatining look.
"N-nowhere..." He said. A bad liar.
"I have just had an idea. Let's turn this game into truth or dare." Cana said, and walked out onto the streets. We followed her. She walked up Bickslow's path, and knocked.
"Bickslow! It's Cana! Open up!" She yelled. Bickslow opened the door, and before he could get a word out of his mouth, she pulled up her bra, revealing everything. We gasped. Luckily, we didn't see anything. She pulled her bra back down, and walked away from the non-responding Bickslow.
When we got back, we were in stiches. She glared at us all.
"Okay, it's my go to pick. Lucy." She said, I gulped.
"I want you to kiss someone in the circle. You have to decide. I'll let you have some time." She said, grinning evily. I blushed deep red. Kissing one of them was hard enough, but choosing? I gulped. Everyone was staring avidly at me, wondering who I would pick.
"Um...Any volunteers?" I said, joking. But to my surprise, a voice answered.
"I will." I turned to look in front of me, and saw Natsu, as cool as a cucumber, not blushing scarlett as I was.
"W-what?" I managed to stutter.
"I said I will. It's a game, and we're best friends, so who cares?" He said, giving me that freaking grin. I cared. I cared a lot. I was a hopeless romantic, so the first kiss was meant to be special.
"Look at that. If that isn't a love confession, then I'm damned." Gray said.
"Got a problem Iccicle butt? Jeez, what's the big deal?" Natsu said. Meanwhile, Juvia had hearts in her eyes.
"Oh my word! This is so cute! He will be Lucy's first kiss!"
"So, are you going to do it or what?" Cana asked.
"Oh...U-um, s-sure! But, I-I don't know..." I said, going a deeper shade of red.
"You don't know how to kiss? Natsu, tell the girl." She said. My eyes looked into his, and I swear I might of just found a new shade of red. He smiled.
"There's not much to say really, you just, relax your lips, and it sort of comes naturally, I guess. If it helps, just stay there and close your eyes, it'll be over befre you know it." He said, and grinned, again. I sucked up my courage, and smiled.
"Okay." So I sat cross legged, bolt straight, and closed my eyes, relaxed my lips, and waited.
"Okay, here it goes." I heard Natsu say. Some rustling of fabric as he crawled over, I knew he was close. I could hear his breath as he closed the gap between out lips. I wanted to open my eyes, just to see there wasn't a horrible prank going on. I opened one eye, and saw him, about three inches away from me. It didn't bother him what so ever. His lips were slightly puckered, only slightly, so basily, kissing was touching lips? It startled me, the clossenes, I involuntarily leaned backwards, opening both eyes, and gave a slight yelp.
"Sorry! I opened my eyes! And I didn't expect you to be that close! Sorry!" I said. He laughed.
"It's okay. I'll hold your head, so you can't move." He said, and put each hand on my cheek. I was suprised at the warmth, and softness.
"Kinky..." Cana said. I looked at her angrily. She smiled. Natsu bought my head back into place.
"Close your eyes." He said. I did, and relaxed my lips again. He pulled my head closer. I felt the closeness again. Before I knew it, our lips touched. It didn't last long, but it felt like hours. So many things happened. I understood, that kissing wasn't just touching lips. When they came into contact, his thin lips, against my small well filled ones, we dind't stop going closer, because once they came into contact, he puckered his lips, and I followed suit. I expected to stop there, but I heard the others count down from ten. So we stayed there, our lips pressing against each others. It was nice, soft, hard at the same time, his hands warm against my cheeks, and his rythmic breathing very relaxing. My heart started beating very loudly, and fast, and my arms were turning to jelly. He pressed his lips closer, and harder.
"3!"
Nearly over, hang in there!
"2!"
Huh? Am I breathing or is that his breah?
"1!"
And he let my head go. Our lips broke apart. I opened my eyes, and saw him smile at me. I gasped, I gasped.
"What's the matter? Love struck?" Erza teased.
"No, of course not. I just forgot to breath, that's all." I replied, sitting back at my place. When they were all occupied, looking at something else, I looked over at Natsu. He looked at me. I gave a small laugh, and smiled, he did to, and grinned.
What I said to Erza was half true. I had forgot to breath, but also something else. When he smiled at me, just after we kissed, something happened. I don't know what it was, it just...happened.
Was I falling in love with my best friend? Was I falling in love with Natsu?
