Gray's POV

We were about to start the movie when Erza stopped me from sitting next to her.

I frowned. "Why can't I sit lady?"

She looked at the floor for few seconds. What does she have in mind... and whatever it is, I sure have to be scared of what it is if it concerns me. "Umm... I just thought that it would be better for us, girls, to be together on the couch since I'm pretty sure you or Natsu will try to scare us." She smiles sheepishly, doubting of her own answer.

I rolled my eyes. "You know I'm not the type of guy to do that."

"It's exactly why you are suspicious to me!" She retorted rapidly. "Come on, Lucy, come here." She pointed to the blonde who was pretty skeptic about this as well.

Lucy shrugged. "If it's what you want, alright then..."

I looked towards Natsu who was apparently as confused as me.

"Now you guys go on the other couch." She said on an ordering tone.

I stared at her while sitting slowly, trying to uncover what she has in mind.

On that weird note, we began the movie.

Natsu's POV

As I can tell, Erza prepared the ground for me to get nearer from him, right?

That woman surely wants to match us together... It's almost scary.

The first movie minutes are pretty boring seriously, maybe it's because I'm trying to figure out what I should do...

It would be way to cliché to do as if I was scared and jump on him, I'm not a fucking coward neither... but what could I do else...

Why do I even want to get near to him? I don't even know him! I guess we're getting along well, but... what else? I know I wanted for a while to try a relationship with a guy, but do I really want to jump on the first one I met here?

And what if this drunk kiss had only taken him by surprise? Or maybe he just wanted to take the opportunity to try and that's it..?

I notice the red head looking few time in my direction with anticipation. I told her I knew what I will do... but seriously I don't have a single clue...

"Natsu," She suddenly call out of no where. I look towards her with question marks in my eyes. "We forgot we had popcorn."

Oh, yeah, I recall this... "Uh... I'll go prepare them."

"I'll come along" She told me.

I glared at her few seconds. "You know that I know how works a microwave, right?"

She was about to say something but she stopped herself. "Fine then, I guess..." On those last words she focused once again on the movie that's finally beginning to go downhill with people dying in gruesome ways. I looked away, grossed by this and walked to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Gray and Lucy exchanged intrigued looks, wondering what was going on with this strange mood.

If only they knew my struggle right now...

I take the 3 packs of popcorn with me and start looking for the microwave. I look to my right, to my left, to my right again... further to my right, spin on myself to the left... where is the God damn microwave? This kitchen wasn't so big for me to not find it! I think I couldn't feel more stupid right now... I'm stuck with some not-so-sure-if-I-have-a-crush problem and now I'm not even able to find a microwave in a kitchen...
