Guest: Please do a Gray and Cana when they were kids like they're first kiss mission first drink together when they first met please."
Here you go! A GrayxCana one shot about when they were kids, and I actually kind of love the idea that they maybe had a little thing when they were young, so thanks anon for requesting it!
There's a First Time for Everything:
"Gray! Your clothes."
He yelped and scrambled to gather up the scattered items, his cheeks tinging pink at being caught stripping by Cana again. He'd only been part of Fairy Tail for a few months, and somehow it was always her who pointed out his lack of clothing.
It was embarrassing, but he couldn't help his weird habit. He just wished the pretty brunette would stop catching him at it, just let someone, anyone else point it out for once. Heck, even that lame fire breather, Natsu would be better.
"Uh, sorry…" He muttered as he pulled his black T-shirt on over his head.
Cana shrugged, flipping a couple of cards on the table. "Whatever. Why do you strip, anyway?"
He blushed. "Um…my teacher taught me to be one with the cold so I could use my ice make magic better, we used to train in our underwear in the snow. Ever since then I have the habit of taking my clothes off."
"Well that's silly, so you don't even know when you're stripping?"
He shook his head, still blushing furiously. This was the most he'd ever talked with her.
"Well I guess I can't blame you for it then." She swept all her cards into a single pile with one swift motion and then turned to smile at him. "So you use ice make magic? Can you show me?"
He looked surprised. "Uh…sure." He placed his fist into his palm, closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, then cupped his hands together and slowly pulled one away, revealing a delicate snowflake made of sparkling ice.
Cana's eyes lit up, and she hopped down from her seat to take a closer look. "Oh, wow! It's so pretty!"
Gray smiled at the compliment. "This is nothing, you should see me fight!"
Cana giggled. "What are you talking about? I see you fight with Natsu practically every day."
His cheeks turned pink again. "O-oh…I didn't think you payed any attention."
She winked at him. "I know more about what goes on around here than most people, my card magic helps too." She suddenly lit up. "Hey, how would you like to go on a job with me?"
His eyes widened. "M-me?"
She nodded. "Sure! It could be fun!"
"B-but…I've never teamed up with anyone before…"
She shrugged. "Neither have I! Come on, please?" She bat her long eyelashes and opened her eyes wide in a puppy like expression.
Gray glanced away, feeling flustered. "Uh…okay, sure."
She beamed. "Great! I'll meet you here tomorrow to pick one out, see you then!" With that, she skipped off, leaving Gray behind to wonder what he got himself into.
*The Next Day*
"Thanks a lot, kids! You do your guild proud!"
Cana and Gray smiled as they accepted the reward from the man whose request they had taken.
"Our pleasure, thanks!" Cana said cheerfully as they turned and started to make their way back toward the guild.
"That was awesome!" Gray said enthusiastically.
Cana nodded. "Yeah it was. Hey, I've got an idea."
Gray turned and raised his eyebrows questioningly. "Oh yeah? What?"
She held up the bag of money and grinned mischievously. "Let's celebrate!"
Just minutes later they were sitting inside the nearest tavern with plates of food in front of them. Gray dug in right away, having worked up a big appetite from the work they'd done earlier.
Cana ate just as ravenously as he had, and then grinned as the server set two giant tankards down on their table.
Gray's eyes widened in surprise. "Is that…alcohol?"
Cana's eyes glinted as she nodded and dragged her tankard closer. "Yep."
"A-aren't we a little young for that?"
Cana shot him a reproving look. "Oh come on, we just did a job on our own! Besides, we aren't that young, what's another seven years or so?" And with that she tipped the tankard up and took a long drink.
Gray stared skeptically at his own, then glanced at her as she set hers down. "Ah, that's good."
Finally, he gave in and hesitantly reached for his tankard. The alcohol tasted gross and it was really strong. He spluttered and set the tankard down.
Cana laughed as she sipped from hers again. "Have another go, it gets better the more you have."
Gray wrinkled his nose in distaste. "Uh…no thanks, I think I'll wait until I'm older."
Cana shrugged and grabbed Gray's drink, pouring it into her own.
He was impressed when she managed to stomach all of it, but unfortunately even though she'd managed to drink it all, didn't mean her petite frame could handle all that alcohol and suddenly he found himself having to deal with a very drunk, Cana.
"Wee! The sky is spinning!" She shouted, twirling around as she stared at the stars.
Gray shook his head and followed after her. "Geez, I shouldn't have let you drink all that." He looked around at where they'd ended up, a grassy hill covered in flowers that overlooked Magnolia. "We should probably head back to the guild soon…its getting dark."
Cana giggled and flopped back onto the hill, throwing her arms up to the sky, she mumbled happily. "Look, Gray, the stars are dancing!" She started humming and weaving her fingers through the air as if following an invisible dance.
He sat down next to her and rested his chin on his hand. "I guess we can sit here and rest for a few minutes."
Cana sat up and poked his shoulder, snickering. "You lost your clothes again."
He yelped and looked around for his shirt. Finally spotting it in Cana's hand, a mischievous light in her eyes.
"Cana, give me my shirt back!"
She shook her head, batting her eyes coyly at him. "Mmm, nope!"
He reached for the shirt but she pulled her hand away, giggling.
"Come on, Cana! Give it back!"
She shook her head, wrinkling her nose at him playfully. "You're going to have to take it!"
He gasped and pointed behind her, eyes wide. "What's that?!"
She spun around, looking frantically for whatever he'd seen. "What? Where?"
He snatched the shirt back with a triumphant laugh. "Haha! Got it!" He pulled it on and straightened it out. "Now, we should probably head back to the guild…" He trailed off as he turned to look at her and saw she had tears in her eyes. "Uh…Cana?"
She sniffled and wrapped her arms around her legs, pulling her knees up to rest under her chin. "Meanie." She pouted.
"Hey! You were the one who wouldn't give my shirt back!" He said defensively.
"I was only playing around…"
He frowned slightly, scooting slightly closer to her. "So…what's wrong?"
She shrugged.
"Come on, you can tell me. We're friends, right?"
She glanced over at him, then turned to face him. "You're awfully cute you know."
His eyes widened in surprise as his cheeks burned. "Wh-what?"
She smiled. "I've thought so since you joined the guild, I was also glad you joined since there's not that many people my age in Fairytail."
Gray was a little dumbstruck, the most he managed to say being, "Uh…"
She wiped her eyes and shrugged. "I love Fairytail, but it's even nicer now that more kids are joining." She smiled brightly at him. "I'm glad you're here now."
Then she leaned forward and planted a quick kiss against his lips.
Gray's face turned bright red. He'd never been kissed before, well his mom used to kiss his cheek, but he'd never had a girl kiss him on the lips before.
She giggled when she pulled away, and tapped the end of his nose with her finger. "You're redder than a tomato, that your first kiss?"
He nodded dumbly.
"Mine too…guess it's not so bad, huh?"
He shook his head. "Uh…no, it was nice."
She beamed, then straightened up. "Come on, we should head back home."
He stood up as well, and then caught her as she suddenly swayed and almost fell over.
"Uh…you might have to help me walk."
He rolled his eyes and draped her arm around his shoulder. "Geez, I'm never letting you drink again."
She grinned and ruffled his hair. "Just try and stop me."
