I walked out of the guild following the path into the city, but before I could even manage to get a few feet away from the guild, the doors were pushed opened and I sensed a familiar ice mage nearing me.
     "What do you want?" I turned around swiftly, my purple-red eyes meeting with his dark navy ones. I felt my cheeks heating up slightly, I couldn't be seen blushing. Especially not from him, so I smiled then looked down so my hair was covering my face.

he grabbed my chin and lifted it up so my eyes were meeting his again, but this time a light blush was on both of our faces. I looked into his eyes again and he began to speak, stuttering slightly.
     "B-be careful... okay?" Still holding my chin, he kissed my cheek softly and smiled at me. Now, I know him, Gray's never and I mean never been the type to show affection. What's with him?

he started to turn and walk away, but I grabbed his wrist without thinking making him face me once again, the pink on my cheeks brighter than the last.
     "I will, I promise," I smiled at him, and started walking towards the East Forest, that over looks Magnolia. I smiled to myself as I continued to walk down the path.

Gray's pov

I watched her walk down the path to the forest, still blushing brightly and feeling my heart beat slowly decreasing as she walked away.
     "God what are you doing to me
Talia?" I chuckled softly under my breath, heading back to the guild doors. Before I could go back inside, I was immediately pulled to the side of the Building, and pushed against the cold brick.
     "What do you think you're doing, messing around with her like that?" A familiar voice said lowly.
     "I wasn't messing around with her Natsu!" I looked into his narrow eyes staring me down.
"Look, I was just telling her to be careful," I told him calmly, trying not to make him more pissed than he already was.
     "Why? you like her or somethin, ice stripper?" He smirked mischievously, nudging me every couple of seconds trying to get an answer out of me.

Talia's pov

I walked into the dark forest noticing the rays of light shining through the tall evergreen trees.
I met Mystogan at the top of the hill that overlooks the Guild Hall, and the rest of Magnolia.
     "Hey there Talia," he teased. "How's your boyfriend?" I looked at him flustered, yet confused.
     "What?" Did he think that dumb ice boy and I were dating? oh god he's got it all wrong.
    "Aren't you dating Gray?" his voice was confused. He was confused about our little 'chat' today.
     "What? No! He was just telling me to be careful, that's all!" I stammered, but he wasn't gonna buy it.
     "He kissed you Talia." I blushed furiously covering my face, embarrassed.
    "He did not!" I yelled at him my face a bright shade of red.
     "Yes he did! I saw him kiss your left cheek!" Mystogan exclaimed, smirking at me.
I stammered once again; he actually saw Gray kiss my cheek. He was dead on, I won't deny it, it'll just cause more trouble.
     "fine, he did kiss me, but it meant nothing. I can promise that." I sighed, my feelings were all mixed up...
