Erza's POV

"Here it is!" Natsu exclaimed kind of disgusted from the sight of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre cover. I could tell that he obviously didn't like those kind of movies. Another thing was bothering me... should I tell him what I saw earlier...

"Nice..." I answered quite trailed off from my mind. After all, it was the reason why I wanted him to come alone with me so it would be a little less awkward.

"Uhh... is there something wrong? Reminds you eyed me the whole diner... have I did something bad already?" He looked troubled... now I know that he may be unconsciously doing stuff he shouldn't, must be his style. I mentally laugh, but had to recover my serious again.

"Well... indeed, there's something I want to tell you..."

His face was blank, ready for whatever thing I had to say him. "I'm all ears."

How do I put this now... "Ok, I'll start from the beginning." He nodded. "As a warden, I have special tasks to accomplish arround Fairy Tail. In events like those of yesterday, parties and such, me and all the other wardens has security jobs to do to keep somehow peace amongst you all. This night, I didn't had any jobs to do, mine this time being the camera watcher as we could say, which is done the day after, it's more convenient this way for us."

His eyes widened. "Cameras...?"

"Don't worry, there's few cameras in the main hall and other social places to be sure there's no brutality or bullying between anyone. There's none in our rooms or in our private spaces in general, though. It's all about security." He released a little his uneasiness.

"So, usually, watching cameras is probably the most boring thing ever for us, wardens. Although this night was a bit different, because, eh, you're a new guy here! So Master told me to keep an eye especially on you since we don't exactly know your behavior."

"I understand that. It's not like you're going to stalk me every party, right?" He asked jokingly though still unsure of what I'll answer.

I chuckled. "No, I won't don't worry..." Now let's start the delicated subject. "Ok... maybe it'll sound weird... or even harsh... but answer me truthfully, you promise?"

He nodded. Christ, I met him only yesterday and I already ask him for personal stuff... I guess I just want to help him somehow.

"So..." He was clearly wondering what is going on. "Are you... who are you into?"

He wasn't expecting this question, obviously. "You kidding me? It's like my third day with you guys." He laughed anxiously.
