Hi there!

This is dedicated to those who liked Fairies' Plays! I had great fun writing it and I don't know if it will be of your like or you'll find any interest on it, but oh well! It's kind of my thanks gift (?

I love AUs so here is mine.

As always, I'm not a native speaker so forgive my mistakes!

Warning: Under this site's motto, I unleashed my imagination and this story was born. I will try to keep them in character but this is going to be OOC without a doubt, even the relationships will be different. Also, it's my first attempt of writing something innocently hot so please, don't make fun of me haha.

The door of the apartment was opened and four teenagers stepped in. They were just back from the cinema and they were still talking about the film.

"The best one was the battle scene" a pink haired guy commented on the subject. His words received a laugh from the other three.

"Come on Natsu, you always say the same after each movie we see" a blond said and a blue haired girl nodded in agreement.

"Lucy's right, you will say that even after watching a drama" the guy with raven spiky hair said as he left the keys on the counter of the kitchen.

They made their way up the stairs to Gray's room as tradition dictated. The warm clothes were put on the chair in front of the desk.

Natsu and Lucy connected the play station to the TV as Gray and Juvia went down again searching for beverages. When the two were back, two remotes were waiting for them over the bed and their friends were already on the floor with their owns.

After a while, Gray and Juvia high-fived while Lucy said "It's your fault" to the boy beside her.

"Another round, flame-brain?"

Natsu pointed his finger at him. "Hell yeah, stripper!" he exclaimed just when the lights turned off. "Hmm? They cut off the electricity?"

The black-haired guy frowned with annoyance. "Damn" he muttered while he stood up and went for a candle. He lighted it and left it on the desk.

They continue on chatting until the blond yawned deeply. She approached her wrist watch to the candle. "Oh my, it's 3 a.m. already" she stood up from the floor and went to the chair. "I'll better get going".

The guy with pink hair stood up too. "And of course I'm walking you home" he said with a toothy smile

Lucy smiled sweetly and gave him a peck on the lips. Gray begun mocking Natsu and Juvia giggled. "If you two were on an anime, you'd be cannon from the first episode" she assured. The blond girl blushed while the pink guy looked at the ceiling.

The couple had been going out for almost two years and they still blushed over the slightest things.

But this was not a double date or something of the like; the only couple there were the said blond and pink guy. Other friends of them would always said how Gray and Juvia made an adorable couple but they were truly far from that.

Juvia and Lucy were best friends and they went to the same school. It was the same for the guys, even if they didn't admit it and teased each other nearly all day. The four of them were in the last year of high school with eighteen years on their lives, but they went to different ones.

Lucy met Natsu after finding him kicking a vending machine in the street. "It's stuck with my last coin!" he complaint after she asked him. She simply laughed and gave him another one. He thanked her deeply since he was really thirsty on that summer day and somehow, they ended up talking a bit more and... well, got together after a lot of time.

Naturally, they got to know each other's friends so Gray and Juvia met too after a while. They became friends instantly since there were a lot of things in common between them apart from the couple they knew.

The four of them always hanged out together since those days.

Natsu and Lucy said goodbye and the three of them went down the stairs. Juvia, left alone on the bedroom, lied on the bed and entered to 9gag from her smart phone. Two minutes later, she heard Gray's feet going up.

He hoped on the bed beside her, welcomed by the complaining squeaks of its springs.

"What are you doing?" he asked after a while, head coming closer to hers to look at the screen of the phone.

She swiftly turned to look at him, narrowing her look. "Don't do that again" she said as she moved a bit apart from him.

Gray was taken aback by her unexpected reaction. It's not like they had never been that close, lying side by side while chatting. "Huh? What did I do?".

One hand left the phone and covered her neck. "Speaking near my ear or even worse, breathing on my neck" she explained pouting. She frowned and looked at the screen again. "It's annoying".

A huge grin spread across his face and went by completely unnoticed by the girl.

Among her acquaintances, Juvia was well known as the embodiment of immunity. It didn't matter where you tickled her, no laugh came out of her mouth; she would just smile like pitying you for thinking that was going to work before giving you back the pathetic attempt. As a result of this inhuman ability -as her closest friends and thus most frequent victims called it- tickling people had become her hobby and the sole swift movement of her fingers made them flinch.

Now, if he was not mistaking her reaction, Gray had just found by chance a remaining human spot. And if he played well this card, he was going to take revenge on behalf of many.


She kept on scrolling down the gags until she felt his fingers on her side. She chuckled while glancing at him.

"You know that this is going to end up pretty bad for you".

"Oh~" he said faking fear. "Don't worry, I will make you pay someday" he added with a smirk.

Juvia giggled and left the phone on the floor, preparing for the upcoming battle. "I don't see that happening any time soon" she commented jeeringly while warming up her fingers in a comical way. "Ready?" she clenched her fists a few times.

"More than you think" he stated confidently.

Juvia was a bit surprised of his attitude; usually, when her tickles were coming, Gray moved his arms frantically and said "I give up" or something of the like. Why the sudden change she opted to ignore since she had to defend her tittle. And so the match begun.

Her finger tips ran all over his chest, sides and belly, sticking into the skin from time to time. At first, he tried to restrain the involuntary laugh by grinding his teeth and clenching his fists; the sight of his concentrated expression made her giggle. She had to recognize that he was bearing with it quite well and just when she was feeling worry about the effectiveness of her attack, he burst into laughs. His body gave in to the tickling sensation and curled up out of reflex, while his hands tried to put distance between them.

But Gray was laughing so hard that he couldn't defend himself properly, so she managed to reach his upper half in spite of his efforts.

After several minutes, the guy took a deep breath. "ENOUGH".

Juvia was going to raise an eyebrow but his hands were faster; the sudden grasp on her wrists startled her.

Gray was panting really hard and tried to catch his breath while she laughed. "I told you".

He didn't say anything; she frowned as he seated on the bed, not loosening the grip in the slightest and placing one arm at each side. "What are you-?" she trailed off as he leaned over her, locking his dark stare on her cerulean eyes.

"I'm taking my revenge right now".

Up until that moment, they had been struggling in almost darkness since the light provided by the candle on the table wasn't enough to distinguish every shape. Even though, she could clearly see the whiteness of his teeth in his devilish grin.

She gulped, deciding to think about why she liked that smile later.

He pounced on her neck like a lion on its prey, making sure his warm breath reached her skin. Juvia's eyes widened horrified for what was going to come. "N-n-n-noo" she stuttered moving her face from side to side frantically.

Gray chuckled in her ear and that sent a chill down her spine. She heard her stomach pleading for laughing and bit her lower lip. Her hands struggled for freedom but the firm hold of him immobilized them utterly.

"How does it feel?" he said mockingly after torturing her for a few more minutes.

Seeing how unable of answering she was, Gray asked playfully "you want me to stop?".

She nodded madly and he sighed with satisfaction while parting from her. "There you go, a taste of you own medicine" he commented as she seated too.

Juvia giggled while smiling. "You are right but-". In a split second the fake smile fainted and a devilish one appeared on her face as her kind eyes pierced through him. "You are going to pay for this". As soon as she said the last word, she tackled him down on the mattress.

"Hey, I was just taking my vendetta!" he complaint while the girl seated on his stomach and made sure her knees clutched his arms against his sides. She ignored his remark and with her right hand on his left cheek, turned his head to the side. She leaned over him and brushed her lips on his neck. "J-juvia?!" His voice trembled.

"Yes?" her voice feigned innocence in the back of his ear.

"You must s-stop" he muttered with great difficulty as she giggled delightfully, her nose running down his neck. "I'm going to die at this rate" he stated while quitting the struggle under her.

She chuckled while parting slightly. However, Juvia's eyes widened when she saw his wide smirk and she mentally face palmed herself for falling in his trap; Gray straightened up swiftly, clutching her arms in a tight embrace while sinking his grin in her collarbone; she begun twitching like there was no tomorrow as he sniffled in her neck. "Y-you damn bastard" she kept on swearing while striving to escape from his hold and after minutes of unsuccessful trying, she opted for a counter attack. Her hands pulled up his shirt and slipped under it, tickling his toned torso directly. It had an instant effect, Gray laughed loudly and leaned forward; Juvia's head landed in the pillow as their bodies ended up entangled.

Her fingers never stopped; their tips continue on tickling his back and she giggled as she felt the diminutive drips of sweat and the warmth his frame was irradiating; somehow, even her overly hygienic conscience liked that.

He was panting really hard. "Such a devilish woman" he said with a grin barely apart from hers. She noticed his fingers were looking their way under her shirt and she was going to grumble about the useless attempt when they touched her skin. Her eyes almost exploded; there it was, the tickling sensation she had never felt before.

But it was utterly different of what she thought.

Whenever she tickled someone they laughed loudly as his friend had just done; but she only giggled.

No, the sound that came out of her mouth was a moan.

Gray's fingers left a scorching feeling on her skin every time they came in contact. It was strange, the feeling of another person's warmth was truly odd.

The sight of his naughty smirk made her realized how much she liked the way his lips curved.

His hands looked for hers and caught them; with his left one he grasped both wrists and put them in the pillow just above her hair. By that time she knew how bad her situation was and the widening of his smile confirmed her worries. Juvia just stared at him as he lowered his mouth on her left ear. He didn't say anything, he just made sure to breathe noisily as his free hand brushed her hip bone; she twitched while biting her lower lip and he chuckled enchanted of the effectiveness of his actions. His index and mid fingers faked a trek to her belly button. "S-stop, please!" she said, her pleading voice barely audible; the two of them knew there was and implied "don't" before those words.

Gray's lips ran down to her neck and stopped there. "Why should I?" he asked teasingly, placing his palm over her belly and tickling there.

Juvia's head turned to a side involuntarily and her feet kicked dumbly. She wanted to get away from him but at the same time she didn't; a still rational part of her mind was telling her to escape while another part was telling her the contrary; and since her jelly like body didn't struggle she assumed the latter part had won.

His fingers went up a little more. "Say "please, Gray-sama" and I will consider it" he offered in her jaw.

She was holding her breath in order to restrain another moan; had she tried to talk, she would have probably yelled. And the fact that his hand was so close to her chest was the main reason of that.

Gray locked his eyes on hers, their faces a few inches apart. "Time out?" he suggested with a winner smirk. She nodded and finally let go her breath when his grip loosened.

He collapsed right there, his left cheek landing on her cleavage. His hands freed her wrists and slowly made their way down, finally resting at her sides. Juvia's did the same but followed a different route; her left palm ended on top of his head while the other patted his shoulder before staying there.

Both of them heard each other's pounding heart regaining its normal pulse.

"You seem to have been in a marathon" he commented while looking up at her.

She looked down at him raising an eyebrow. "You are no one to talk" she said mockingly as her fingers pinched his wet shirt. He chuckled and closed his eyes.

Juvia locked hers on the ceiling. They were finally catching their breaths and she unconsciously begun combing his black mane. Then she looked at the candle on the desk; she couldn't help but smile ironically at her thoughts. "This is such a romantic set-up like in movies".

It took her a few seconds to realize how wrong the whole thing was as her rational part started dominating again.

She abruptly looked down at the guy resting on top of her; he was almost falling asleep over her creased shirt, the piece of clothing pulled up to her bosom. She was hugging him with tenderness, even running her fingers through his hair and her legs were entangled with his in an intimate way. She looked at their sides and saw the wrinkled bed cloth falling off the mattress.

She had to get out of there.

"Ouch" he complaint as he rolled off her; she had pushed him like a potato sack.

Juvia took one of her shoes. "Get up, I'm going home and I need you to open the door".

Gray scratched his head. "Huh?"

She put on the other and stood up. "I want to sleep".

Something in her bossy tone told him it was better to do as she said quickly.

He yawned before leaving the bed. "Fine, fine; I will pick up my jacket and walk you home" he said as he looked for it.

She grabbed her coat from the chair and turned. "Don't worry I will walk alone".

Gray glanced at her. "There's no way you are going on your own at this hour" he simply said before stepping out of the room and heading to the stairs.

Juvia bit her lower lip; at that moment she was cursing his chivalry.


She waved off a last time before closing the door.

Juvia made her way to her bedroom while taking off the several capes of clothes. She entered without turning on the lights and put on the pyjama that was under her pillow.

Once lying on the bed, she tried to sleep, something that turned out impossible. Gray's hands were still touching her; she could still feel them. Her arms wrapped around her as the sole memory made her heart race. His wide grin was printed in her mind; her brain kept on thinking in his lineaments, his looks, his messy hair. She cupped her cheeks as she felt the warmth spreading on them and that word reminded her of his breath in her ear, the scorching sensation on her skin and how badly she had liked all that.

And damn, she wanted to yell. Hadn't it been for his brother sleeping in the next room, she would have probably shouted with all her mighty.

She turned on the light of her night table and took out a pen and her diary from a drawer. She searched that day across the pages and when she finally found it, Juvia made a cross on it. After leaving it in its place once more, she turned off the light and covered herself with the blankets.

Whether that cross meant something bad or unforgettable, she just didn't know.
