My Promise To You [COMPLETE]

Chapter 24: The Grand Ball

"Are you trying to impress someone?" Lisanna asked slyly. Mira and Lucy were in on it too.

"Wha一no! I-I was told that I had to wear t-this! " He stammered, leaning his head against the wall. He didn't want to answer anymore. Eris was already trying to get (Y/N) with Sting or Rogue, and he didn't want to be part of anyone else's love life.

"Aww, Eris is a tsun-tsun!" The girls cooed. Wendy didn't even say anything, she just sweat dropped, along with Yukino.

Then he heard a bunch of squeals from them. They began to compliment Yukino, saying that she looked absolutely gorgeous in every dress she wore. Eris heavily sighed once more. He rubbed his temples as he regretted coming over to the girls side.

As they were finished, couple of hours later, Eris had to escort them into the palace. Since (Y/N) wasn't there, maybe he'd look for her in the castle. They were late, but they admired how elegant and stunning the place was.

"Sugoi..." Wendy was stunned.

"This place is pretty cool," Eris said.

He whistled in astonishment as he came up next to Wendy and the girls. Food and drinks were laid out on many tables, free for all to enjoy. Music was being played in the background. People were either dancing or chatting with others. The air was full of joy, along with the scent of things to eat.

The group spotted the Fairy Tail guild. They were all dressed up nice and fancy, along with all the other guilds in the ballroom.

"Hey, you guys came!" Elfman announced. He had his hair tied back and he had a green outfit.

"You're late!" Cana cried out. She started pouring booze into her mouth, making gurgling noises as she drank it.

Gray wore nothing but a sky blue scarf and black boxers. Gajeel had a suit and he had his hair tied down low. Gray took one look at Gajeel, and made a comment on his appearance, "You should never wear a suit."

"Says the ice stripper who never wears any clothes," Eris replied to Gray's statement nonchalantly, rolling his eyes at the same time.

Gray looked annoyed, and Gajeel, who looked very pleased at what he said, added, "Exactly what Eris said. You should've worn something."

"Over here, min'na. Futhermore, all of the other guild members have gotten together," Erza came up to everyone. She had a glass full of alcohol in her hands, then she walked away.

Eris questioned everyone around him, "Ne, have you guys seen (Y/N)-chan?"

"She's not with you or the girls?" Gray asked.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen the Shorty or the Salamander. Usually, they'd stick out like a sore thumb," Gajeel said. His put his fingers under his chin and began to wonder where they were.

"I'll come back to ask you again just in case you see them," he told them and began to walk around.

Eris started going to the food stands. He figured that (Y/N) might be there, since she likes to eat food, especially sweets. Wendy was there with Cherria Blendi, looking at all the scrumptious desserts.

But both of them were staring at a certain sweet in admiration. It was a small, orange glassy jello treat that shimmered in the middle of the plate. Eris seemed to think it looks slightly delicious, so he walked up behind them to get a better look at it.

"Look at it, Cherria! It looks like a gemstone!" Wendy told her in a delightful way.

"It's splendid, isn't it? I wonder what it tastes like..." She was awestruck.
