Authors Note- Yeah, I know it took me like almost half the year to get back to this story. And I am sorry, life took up most of my time. Followed by writers block, and other stuff. But you're not here to hear about that you're here for a chapter. So as you know I don't own anything but the plot. Everything else belongs to Hiro Mashima. Now that we got that out of the way here is Chapter Two of The Sea And The Stars.
Chapter Two: Hangover
She was never drinking again. Juvia vowed as she blinked up at the plain white ceiling of her room at Fairy Hills. Uttering a pained groan she managed to muster the energy to climb out of bed. Only to get tangled up in her sheets, and tumble to the floor. Letting out another pained groan she slowly picked herself up, did she mention how she was never drinking again? Well, she meant it. Rubbing at her sore arm she made her way to her bathroom.
Locking the door behind her as she turned the water on. Leaning heavily against the door, she tried to remember what exactly happened last night, as the pounding in her head intensified. Hissing through her teeth she moved towards the cabinet, and picked out a bottle of pain medication. Opening it she downed two pills before stepping into the shower.
A sign escaping her lips as she let the warm water cascade over her. Tilting her head upwards as she tried once more to remember what happened the night before. All she managed to remember was drinking more than she ever intended, but she couldn't really blame herself, she never really felt comfortable in big crowds. Running her hands through her hair she remembered Lucy coming over to see if she was all right.
Remembering her encouraging Juvia to join the others on the dance floor. Then everything was a blur. Except for the sweet, comforting scent of vanilla and honey. Opening her eyes she tried to think of anything else that might have happened last night, but to no avail. Worrying at her bottom lip she turned the water off, and stepped out. And busied herself with getting ready for the day.
Meanwhile at Lucy's apartment the Celestial wizard in question was laying in her bed, the covers kicked off of the bed as she stared up at the ceiling, her hand resting against her forehead. Unlike Juvia she remembered everything, remembering dragging Juvia to the club with them. Remembering how uncomfortable the rain woman had been that Lucy couldn't help but feel bad for dragging her out here. And yet, despite her offer to take Juvia home she had politely refused the blondes offer.
However, that wasn't the only thing that had been floating around Lucy's head. The kiss she had shared with her. Remembering how soft her lips felt against her own. Feeling her cheeks heat up at that she quickly shook the thoughts from her head, and managed to climb out of her bed, and make her way to the bathroom. Summoning Plue as she did so.
There was no use dwelling on it any further, she needed to make rent soon, and that meant finding a reasonable paying job. Thankfully she had seen a few that would be right up her alley, and not to mention there were ones she could managed on her own.
Not that she didn't like Natsu and the rest it was just that they had a tendency to be overzealous. Which always ended up with them not getting paid. And besides Natsu and Happy would be out of town for a few days with Erza, and Gray was God knows where so it was just her and Plue for a while.
Turning on the water she watched as the tub slowly began to fill. Her thoughts once again going back to Juvia, a small smile creeping to her lips as she thought about the blue haired woman. Thinking back to when she and Juvia had first met back when Phantom Lord had attacked Fairy Tail in hopes of capturing her. At first Juvia had unnerved her to no end, of course it didn't help that when they had first met she had tried to drown her. Shaking her head once more she managed to push those thoughts from her head.
That was in the past, no use dwelling on it any further. After all her and Juvia had come along way since then. Removing her robe she slowly eased herself into the tub. A sigh escaping her lips, as she leaned back against the tub, and let her head fall back against the tub. Today was a new day, she wondered what awaited her.
Edit-Well, this is remarkably short. Sorry about that guys I know nothing overly riveting has happened yet. But I assure you that in due time thing will pick up. That being said, this is Black Jack signing off and don't you forget to R/r.
