"My turn!" Cana cheered, hopping off the bar top as she stalked over to the box. She absent-mindedly pushed some disks off to the side with a bored expression. "Come on, there has to be a song about drinking here somewhere."Everyone dead banned at this with a slight sweat drop. "Cana, I highly doubt Natsu has a song about-"
"Found one!" The drunk brunette grinned brightly as she pulled out a disk with the title of Drinking With Cupid.
"I... I stand corrected," Erza shut her mouth immediately, thinking on why Natsu would even have a song about drinking. He didn't really drink that much, compared to anyone else. Especially her. An embarrassing memory stalked her mind as she remembered the resort they spent the night at. Her agression was sky rocketed as she asked, no demanded more alchol to drink. Hell Natsu told her that Lucy was so drunk, she told him to strip her in bed.
Cana popped in the disk to press play as the sound of a gentle guitar could be heard.
"A slow song maybe, maybe... romance!" Mira beamed in anticipation.
Since you left, I give my breath to cigarettes
Since you left, I try my best to forget
I can't escape the love we made, it follows me
I can't escape from your love
Everyone bit of hope was quickly dashed in that moment as everyone's eyes grew wide at the lyrics.
"N-not exactly what I was expecting," Cana stuttered slightly in shock. She really hoped this was just a song he made for a bad break up, and he's not actually doing these things like smoking or drinking away his sorrows.
"Natsu had a girlfriend before?! And what the hell are these lyrics?!" Lucy asked with her jaw dropped to the floor. She couldn't believe what she was hearing from her best friend. A part of her thought, no everyone thought they don't know Natsu as good as they thought. Her eyes glanced over to Erza who looked a little defeated, but slightly... angry?
"H-how dare someone break Natsu's heart!" Erza sputtered out with a deep blush, many noticing her unusual behavior. It didn't take anyone to know how she felt about Natsu.
And I've been rolling the dice with Aphrodite
Spendin' my nights without you beside me
Throwin' some darts in bars with the queen of hearts, queen of hearts
And I've been drinking with Cupid
Thinking of you, babe, thinking of you, babe, oh
How can I be so stupid?
If I didn't lose it, if I didn't lose it, oh
I've been spinning the bottle
Fighting the bottom, fighting thе bottom, oh
I've been drinking with Cupid
Thinking of you, babe, thinking of you, babe, oh
"I... I got no words at this point. Natsu being in a relationship has me stumped," Gray ran a hand through his raven black hair with a small sigh. He felt for the slayer, but he was at a loss. When did Natsu even have a girlfriend to begin with? So many more questions without enough answers.
"So that's why the songs title is that," Cana frowned. "Poor Natsu..."
And sincе you left, I try my best to turn the page
Since you left, I roll my joints with Hemingway
I can't erase the way your face lit up this place
I can't escape from your face
And I've been rolling the dice with Aphrodite
Spendin' my nights without you beside me
Throwin' some darts in bars with the queen of hearts, queen of hearts
And I've been drinking with Cupid
Thinking of you, babe, thinking of you, babe, oh
How can I be so stupid?
If I didn't lose it, if I didn't lose it, woah
I've been spinning the bottle
Fighting the bottom, fighting the bottom, oh
I've been drinking with Cupid
Thinking of you, babe, thinking of you, babe, oh
And I've been drinking with Cupid
Thinking of you, babe, thinking of you, babe, oh
How can I be so stupid?
If I didn't lose it, if I didn't lose it, woah
I've been spinning the bottle
Fighting the bottom, fighting the bottom, oh
I've been drinking with Cupid
Thinking of you, babe, thinking of you, babe, oh
The song came to an end as everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to think from this song.
"So um... that song," Bisca coughed into her hand awkwardly. "I really hope Natsu isn't smoking or drinking."
A bright yellow aura covered Makarovs body with a stern expression on his face that had everyone in fear. "If that boy is doing anything of that his punishment will be severe!" His voice boomed off the walls as his power was exerted.
Erza bit her lip, rubbing her arm as she turned towards the entrance of the guild. 'Natsu... please come home soon.'
Juvia walked up to the box, glancing over to Erza. "Can I go next Erza?" She asked the blushing knight.
"Y-yeah go ahead Juvia," she gave the rain woman a small smile.
Juvia looked through the disks, not a lot of the titles catching her eye, until one did. "What's this?" She asked as her hand pulled out a disk that was titled Rain. "Natsu made a song about the rain?" She frowned softly, "I hope this isn't about him not liking my rain."
"This is flamebrain we're talking about Juvia," Gray smiled softly, leaning back, sticking his hands in his pants pockets as his shirt had somehow disappeared. "Go on, play it and see."
Juvia smiled with a soft blush, putting the disk in the radio, pressing play.
A gentle drum and guitar could be heard as some of them closed their eyes, nodding their head to the sounds. "This already sounds promising," Mira smiles with her eyes closed, moving her head side to side with the rhythm.
I don't mind, no, I don't mind, I don't mind the rain
The simple things and subtleties, they always stay the same
I don't mind that I don't mind, no, I don't mind the rain
Like a widow's heart, we fall apart then never fade away, fade away
The gentleness in Natsu's voice had a soothing effect on the entirety of the guild. Erza smiled softly, moving her head to side to side. Her mind imagined Natsu kissing her in the rain, holding her dearly to his chest. Her body completely relaxed as they continued to listen.
Juvia had a bright smile on her face, gently moving her body to side to side. Gray couldn't help but watch with a small blush on his cheeks.
Oh, like a child, do you know where I came from?
No, I don't, but I'm singing all the same songs
I'm alone, and you're looking for your anyone
Does it hurt just to know that it's all gone?
I could feel the pain in the words that you say
Hidden in the letters that were written to no name
Let me be the hands that you hold to your face
'Cause I'd give it all up if I could take it away
Buried in red, white, and silenced in blue
Some will die too late, and somebody too soon
And if he could come back, we'll see what it cost him
We had to lose it all just to know that we lost one
I am just a shape in the shadow of greats
I am just a voice in the chоir of saints
Oh, all the souls that nobody could save
And just like a light, we faded away
"Salamander can rap too?!" Gajeel's jaw was on the floor as he smacked his head on the table with a groan. His girlfriend Levy gently rubbed his back in comfort, kissing his cheek. "It's okay Gajeel, you're perfect just the way you are."
"Even I gotta admit I didn't expect him to start rapping, but man does it sound good," Gray nodded his head to the beat with his arms crossed.
"Gray, your clothes," Lucy pointed to his lower abdomen.
"Huh?" He looked down with wide eyes, jumping from his seat. "WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME?!"
I don't mind, no, I don't mind, I don't mind the rain
The simple things and subtleties, they always stay the same
I don't mind that I don't mind, no, I don't mind the rain
Like a widow's heart, we fall apart then never fade away, fade away
Fade away
As I fade away, away, away
If I could take it all back
Before the flags were forced to wave at half mast
That was long before my heart became black
There's no way to make it change or go back
You know that some of us grow old with no home
Some of us die in a cold house with no hope
Still surrounded by the people you don't know, so don't go
'Cause once it's over the time fades your photo
How many goodbyes could fit in a lifetime?
How many good lies can make it seem alright?
What do you see when you look into my eyes?
Or in the sky right before you say goodnight?
I could be the son that stands beside your bed
And I could be the voice right inside of your head
I could say goodbye, and you know where I went
I just wrote a letter that'll never be sent
I don't mind, no, I don't mind, I don't mind the rain
The simple things and subtleties, they always stay the same
I don't mind that I don't mind, no, I don't mind the rain
Like a widow's heart, we fall apart then never fade away, fade away
Fade away
As I fade away, away, away
As I fade away, away, away
As I fade away
Fade away
As I fade away
When everyone thought the song was over, Natsu's voice butted in.
"Juvia, if you ever hear this. This was for you. I know you hate the rain that's followed you all of your life, but just know me and Fairy Tail will always accept your rain. We accept your sadness, your happiness, the good and bad. You're family Juvia, we love you and so does Gray if he ever had the balls to say it himself."
Gray's jaw dropped to the floor. "I'm gonna kill that idiot!"
"Gray darling... do you?" She turned towards the Ice wizard with hopeful eyes.
"I-I um..." He bit his lip with a deep blush, avoiding her gaze running a hand through his hair. "I mean maybe I guess..." he said, trying to sound cool before he was tackled to the floor by a crying rain woman.
"J-juvia is so happy..." She clutched onto him like her life depended on it.
Gray smiled softly, rubbing her head. "Idiot, stop the water works you weirdo."
'That's it, when you get home Natsu I'm going to confess my feelings to you. I can't take another second of hiding this,' Erza thought with a smile, watching the new couple that formed in their family.
"Hey! Ice dick, you better treat her good," Gajeel gave him a stern expression, and a glare that promised death if he even dared hurt his friend.
"Heard loud and clear metal head."
And that's another chapter down! I tried so damn hard to find other songs to do with rain, but none of them fitted. I know a lot of song fics have used this song, but it's just too perfect. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed and I'll see you all in the next chapter, later. :)
