Chapter 15: Party & Feelings!

Natsu and Mira quickly arrived at the guild. The whole guild was in party mode. Guild members were enjoying themselves, drinking and shouting and some even dancing funnily. When the guild members noticed their presence, they shouted "CONGRATULATIONS FOR PASSING THE S-CLASS EXAMINATION. LET'S CELEBRATE!!!"

Natsu and Mira were quickly surrounded by the guild members. The female members took Mira away while the guys took Natsu.

Natsu was enjoying himself doing silly stuff, eating, drinking and arm wrestling. He needed to properly relax after all test. While he was enjoying himself a wild gray suddenly appeared.

"Oi pinkie, don't think you are better than me by becoming an S-class wizard. I'll become an S-class wizard soon enough, so just wait for me," said Gray grinding his teeth. He still hasn't accepted the fact that Natsu is better than him.

"Sure. Don't make me wait for too long otherwise you'll be left behind again," replied Natsu in a teasing tone. Gray just ignored his comment and left the guild. Nobody stopped him since he needs to be left alone for a while.

While Natsu was enjoying himself he noticed Erza sitting in a corner absentmindedly. She looks really worn out. He approached her and waved his hands in front of her face and said, "Erza are you okay? You spaced out there."

Erza quickly regained her composure and replied in a disinteresting tone, "I'm fine. I'm just feeling tired. You don't need to worry about it."

"Hmm... maybe you should go home if you are feeling so tired. A little rest may help you feel better," replied Natsu in worry. He can feel there is something bothering her but doesn't want to pry into her private life.

"Yeah, I guess. I will go home then. See you later." said Erza getting up from her seat and leaving the guild.

'I wonder what's troubling Erza. I better hope it isn't something serious.' thought Natsu inwardly. Erza is one of his best friends in the guild so he doesn't want anything to happen to her.

'Well, I'll think about it later. It's time to enjoy now.' thought Natsu dismissing his worries and enjoying the party. Soon, Magnolia was filled with sounds of the party.

Flashback:

'Why do the harlot get to bring Natsu. I better go there to make sure she won't do anything funny.' thought Erza as she followed Mira towards Natsu's home. She can't help but worry that Mira will steal Natsu from her if left alone.

Soon, Mira reached Natsu's home and entered the door. Erza was just waiting outside. Soon, 5 minutes passed but they haven't left the house. She started getting impatient and quickly went near the window outside Natsu's room.

'Why are they taking so long? They can't be doing something lewd right? Haha... of course not. But just to be sure I will peek inside his room. I'm just preventing them from doing anything lewd... It's not like I like him or not...' thought Erza peeking through the window. She was curious about what's taking them so long to leave the house.

What greeted her sight was a hot makeout between Mira and Erza. She was momentarily stunned to do anything. Natsu and Mira were lost in the pleasure of kissing each other so they didn't notice Erza peeking through the window. At that moment, she felt something breaking inside her and subconsciously tears started pouring out of her left eye. She quickly left the area and started running while crying.

'I can't believe they are in such a relationship. I should be feeling happy for them but I can't help feel sad watching them like that. It's not like I was expecting him to like me or anything. I'm such a pathetic girl, of course, he won't like me. It just hurts watching them like that.' thought Erza sobbing while running toward the town. She cried all the way to the town.

She soon arrived at the Town area. She quickly wiped her tears.

'I can't be like this. I need to move on. I can't trouble Natsu over my feelings... I'll bury these feelings deep within my heart... Okay, I'll need to leave Natsu and Mira alone. I don't want to be the third wheel in their relationship. I'll support their relationship.' thought Erza with a determined expression. She quickly left the area arriving at the guild.

'Natsu, Mira I wish you have a happy relationship. I should have realized my feelings sooner but now I'll bury these feelings and support you two.' thought Erza entering the guild.
