~Sting's P.O.V.~

How did they find out?! I thought in my head. Rogue slowly turned his head to me. "Sting...." he started. Before he could say anything else, I take ahold of his collar and practically drag him against his will. When I thought we were out of earshot for even a Dragon Slayer like Jessie, I let go. "What the hell?!" Rogue growls after adjusting the collar of his shirt.

"Look, I'm sorry," I pause for a minute to take a look at his flustered expression, "or maybe I'm not."

"Sting.." Rogue warns.

"Anyways...!" I nervously chuckled before he got out of hand. "I dragged you because you heard what..Jessie's friend said right?"

"Yeah," Rogue nodded and then frowned. "Sting, did you kiss Jessie?"

"W-well, no, I mean yes, I mean.." I sputtered. "Ugh, I don't know!"

"What do you mean you don't know if you kissed someone or not?!" Rogue half yells, but covers his mouth when he realizes that he might have been too loud and speaks softer. "Sting, you can't just forget if you kissed someone or not."

"I know, but.." I sighed and ran a hand through my blond locks. "It's just...apparently I kissed her because I was drunk or something..?"

"OOOOOOOO!!! I KNEW IT!" Rogue and I both jumped as Orga comes out of nowhere and pumps his fists into the air.

"I guess the rumor is true then," Rufus chuckled.

"What rumor??" Rogue and I asked at the same time.

"The 100 shots rumor idiots!" Orga cackled. I blinked for a few seconds before a quick flashback reminded me that I had drank 100 shots of the most alcoholic drink I have ever tasted a couple days back. my face slowly flushed red at the thought that I actually love Jessie.

"Heh, his face is flushing," Rufus smirked.

"Well, no doubt about it now," Rogue nodded and smirked as well.

"D-doubt about what?" I asked. They all facepalmed.

"That you love Jessie you dense baka!" all three of them shouted in unison.

"Do not!" I shouted back in frustration. "I love Minerva remember?! How many times do I have to say that I'm dating her?!"

"Dude, we all the know the reason you're dating her is because you want to get stronger," Rogue rolled his eyes.

"Yeah man, that doesn't sound like love," Orga nodded.

"And, if I remember correctly, you achieved that goal," Rufus added. I scowled at all of them, but deep down I knew they were right. I was practically just using her, and I felt a bit bad for doing so.

"What all of you say are true," I admitted. "But who's to say I haven't grown feelings for her??"

"Feelings? For Minerva?" they all questioned in a flat tone. All of them then burst out laughing.

"T-that will be the day!" Orga said in between his laughs.

"Dude, how can anyone love that annoying spoiled brat?" Rogue laughed, shaking his head when it died down.

"She has such a long record of being a spoiled rich kid," Rufus chuckled.

"I do!" I said in frustration. Or...at least I think I do...

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that," Rogue smirked. I groaned in frustration.

"Look, can we just practice for the GMG...?" I facepalmed, trying to change the conversation.

"Whatever you say," Orga said with a wide smirk before he bumped into the backstage door. ".....I meant to do that." Rogue, Rufus, and I snickered and followed him backstage.

~Jessie's P.O.V.~

"A little higher!" I told Levy as she was holding a poster up.

"I can't go any higher!" Levy squeaked, sweat dripping down her forehead in nervousness. She was on her tiptoes, trying desperately to hang on to a Grand Music Games poster.

"I got it," I chuckled as I used my magic to manipulate water from a nearby water fountain. The water gracefully streamed from the spout to Levy. She squealed lightly in surprise as the water coiled around her legs and lifted her up.

"This is so cool!" Levy giggled as she put the tape on the corners of the poster.

"I never knew you were a Water Dragon Slayer," Erza inquired while helping Juvia paint.

"Juvia didn't know that either Jessie," Juvia nodded.

"I wonder if it has to do with a certain White Dragon Slayer?" Lucy smirked. I lightly blushed.

"I-it might," I stuttered, still holding out my hands to maintain the water whip holding Levy.

"You know your Stessie blog has gotten an update about that newspaper," Wendy told me.

"Eh??? You too Wendy?" I wailed.

"Hehe, gomenasai, but I really think you two look so cute together," Wendy apologized.

"I have got to find out who put up that blog in the first place..." I grumbled. We all turned to Mira, who was innocently helping Yukino with some decorations.

"Don't look at me," she smiled and put her hands up in defense, "I contributed to that blog, but did not create it."

"Okay, I'm going to ask you guys one simple question: did any of you create that blog?" I asked in a serious tone. When no one answered me, I sinisterly added, "If no one stays anything now and they're lying, you're gonna have to look behind your back every HOUR."

Everyone shivered in fear. Even Erza slightly cringed in fear. "So, anyone want to speak up?"  Everyone shook their heads. I smirked. "Thought so."
