Deep breaths helped Cana calm herself as she slid in her stool at the bar, nodding at Kinana to bring her a drink. Any drink. She'd done it again. She'd let her guard down with Laxus Dreyer. That damned lightning mage could never leave her alone somehow.

Don't be that girl

Don't let him have you

He already said no

to the idea of you

He was perhaps the only male presence in the guild that didn't acknowledge her as a worthy S Class candidate nor as a lady. What the hell was she doing flirting with the lightning mage? Why did he even go after her to the extent he did? She knew the answer to that of course.

Why does he tempt you?

Only for your body

It's not you he'd want

Don't do this again

Oh, he was indeed a mistake. A fantastically strong, attractive, delirious mistake.

Please

He'll say you can be friends

He wont mean it

Don't do this again

If there was one thing Laxus's lack of presence during the war against Phantom had shown her was that he didn't care. A fact confirmed when he asked her to strip. How dare he taunt her?

Yes. you've felt his lips

and that electric touch

But he's not in your cards yet

and you shouldn't let him

She thumbed her deck as she pondered doing a reading, it wasn't like her to be so uncertain. Her eyes drift him as she flipped the first card. Lovers. Then the second. Lightning. Self denial kept her from flipping the last, not wanting to know how her fate played out. Clearly the odds were not in her favour.

Its not you he even wants

Rather be a stranger

Than to be his friend

Please

She watched him as he watched her. The guilds picture of beauty, grace and all things she wasn't.

She could never be his friend.
