Wrong Glass
It was the day after Natsu and Lucy's mission to stop the bandits. Lucy had spent most of the day at home reading, relaxing, and working on her own novel. She was still slightly upset with Natsu so she wasn't really in the mood to go to the guild. It wasn't until later that she decided that she was bored and wanted to chill with her friends at the guild anyways.
Lucy stepped through the doors and then took a seat at the bar. "Hello Lucy!" Mirajane greeted the blonde wizard. "Haven't seen you all day.". "Yeah, I was at home most of the day." Lucy said as she crossed her arms on the bar table and then laid her chin on her arms. "Oh. Not in a good mood today?" Mira asked. "Meh. I've been better." she simply replied. "Something go wrong on your mission yesterday?" Mirajane asked. Lucy sat up. "Ugh... we got our mission done... but... uuugh!" Lucy said as she became slightly frustrated, remembering the events the occurred yesterday. "Can I have a soda please Mira?" Lucy asked. Mirajane nodded and poured Lucy a soda.
Lucy chugged half of her glass before telling Mirajane her story. "Well we defeated the bandits now problem, and we got the job done. But in doing so, Natsu caused a forest fire which resulted in us only getting paid half of the original amount." Lucy stated. "Is that why you're in a bad mood?" Mirajane asked. "That's not the sole reason. The real reason was when this bandit shot a fireball at me, and Natsu jumped in and pushed me aside when I could of totally handled that guy myself!" Lucy said, and then chugged the rest of her soda. "Well he was just protecting you wasn't he?" Mirajane asked.. "That's the thing! He's always protecting me! I can handle myself and he's always stepping in.". "That's Natsu though. He can't just sit there and watch his friends get hurt. His friends well-being always comes before his." Mirajane stated. Lucy sighed. "I know... that's why I feel really bad for getting mad at him yesterday... but I couldn't help it!". Lucy said. She pushed her glass over towards Mirajane signalling for another soda.
She refiled Lucy's glass. "Well Lucy, you see-" Mirajane was cut off when Jet came over to the bar. "Hey Mira! Can I get three spiked-sodas?" he happily asked. "Sure thing! One sec Lucy." she said as she went to get the drinks for Jet. "Hey Lucy. Haven't seen you all day. How ya doin'?" Jet asked. "I'm doing alright, Jet." Lucy said with a small smile. But before Lucy could ask him how he was, Warren called Jet outside for something. "Hey Jet! Can you and Droy give us a hand with this?" he asked. "Yeah sure! Talk to you later Lucy." he said as he walked off. Mirajane returned with his three drinks. "Where'd Jet go?" she asked. "Went to help Warren." Lucy told her. Mirajane set the drinks down close to Lucys but Lucy didn't see, and Mirajane didn't notice where she put them either.
"What was I saying again? Oh yeah! Natsu is protecting you because he cares deeply about you. He wouldn't forgive himself if you got hurt." Mirajane said. "Yeah... I guess." Lucy sighed. Lucy picked up a drink and downed the whole thing. She made a sour look on her face, noticing the different taste in her usual soda, but she shrugged it off instantly. "And if you really do want him to give you a chance to stand up for yourself, just ask him." Mirajane said with a smile. "I kinda did that yesterday... except I didn't ask... I just sorta yelled it right in his face." Lucy said with a guilty tone. Lucy began to feel weird. She felt a little tipsy. But she picked up another drink and downed the whole thing again. "You're really throwing them back aren't you?" Mirajane said. "I can't help it! I feel bad for yelling at Natsu! I hope he isn't mad at me." Lucy pouted. "Natsu isn't one to hold a grudge." Mirajane said with a smile. "Well... except if you're Gray." she then added. Lucy laughed.
She picked up the thrid drink and took a gulp. "Mira -hic- can I have more of these? They make me feel silly." Lucy said with a giggle. Mirajane looked at Lucy with a strange look. She took an empty glass and sniffed it. Mirajane's eyes widened as she realized what Lucy had be drinking, soda spiked with alcohol. "Oops! Lucy took the wrong glass..." Mirajane thought. Lucy drank the rest of the drink. She then went into a laughing fit. "H-hey Lucy. Are you doing alright?" Mirajane nervously asked. "Mira, -hic- I feel silly! Those drinks made me silly.". Lucy was drunk. "Who knew she was such a lightweight..." Mirajane said to herself.
Then suddenly Natsu walked over. "Hey Luce! I haven't seen you all day!" Natsu said with a smile. Lucy looked at Natsu. "Oh my god Natsu! I'm so so so so sorry about yesterday! I didn't mean to get mad! You're not -hic- you're not mad at me are you? I don't want you to be mad at me!" Lucy said as she grasped the front of his fest with both of her hands. "Um no, I'm not mad. Hey, are you feelin' alright Lucy?" Natsu asked, noticing her weird behaviour. "I feel silly!" Lucy giggled. Suddenly she fell out of her seat and onto the floor, where she was now rolling on the floor laughing. Natsu realized what had happened to Lucy. He looked at Mirajane and said "How could you give her alcohol!? Why would you let this happen!?" She shrugged. "Could you take her home?" Mirajane asked? Natsu had a look of terror on his face. "Oh no way! I dealt with drunk Lucy before. It was chaos." Natsu suddenly felt a tugging at his leg. He looked down to see Lucy tugging at him. "Natsuuuuu -hic-. Piggyback meeeee." she pouted. "Uh..." he said as sweat dropped. "Please take her home for me Natsu." Mirajane said with puppy-dog eyes that no one could possibly say no to. "Ugh... fine." he reluctantly said. He bent down to help Lucy up. He swung her arm over his shoulder to help her walk without stumbling all over the place. "You owe me!" Natsu said to before as he was leaving with Lucy.
Natsu and Lucy were outside of the guild when Lucy suddenly decided to climb ontop of Natsu's back. "W-what are you doing?" he asked. "I want a piggyback." she said. Natsu just grunted. The two were now making their way back to Lucy's apartment and soon enough, they were there. Natsu jumped up to the window with Lucy still on his back. "Whoa!" she said as she laughed. Natsu opened up the window and they both hopped in. "There... you're home. I'm gonna leave now. " Natsu said. He turned towards the window but was stopped by Lucy who wrapped her arms around one of Natsu's. "Nooooo. Stay with me for a bit!" Lucy pouted. Natsu nervously gulped. "A-are you sure that you don't want to go to bed or something?" he asked. Lucy shook her head. "I'm not even tired!" she said. "Uhhh..." Natsu said. "Pleeeeeeease! I'll be bored if you go!" Lucy pleaded. "Erm... fine." Natsu said. "Yay!" Lucy cheered. "What am I doing? I need to get out of here." Natsu thought.
"S-so... um what do you wanna do?" Natsu asked. Lucy put a finger to the side of her mouth and began to think. "Hm... we should... TICKLE FIGHT!" Lucy said as she jumped on top of Natsu. "Aug! What are you doing?" he asked? Lucy was on top of Natsu. She had him pinned in between her legs. "It's a tickle fight... and I'm gonna tickle you!" Lucy said as she started to tickle Natsu. Surprisingly, Natsu was extremely ticklish. "L-Lucy! S-stop!" he tried to say in between fits of laughter. Lucy was giggling at her successful tickling. "O-oh yeah? T-two can play at t-this game!" Natsu said. Suddenly, he flipped Lucy over. Natsu was now on top of Lucy, in the same position she had him pinned in. Natsu grinned deviously at Lucy and then began to tickle her. "N-natsu!" she said between laughs. "M-my stomach h-hurts!". Natsu just grinned. "The tables have been turned!" he said to Lucy. Then he stopped. He was still on top of Lucy, and she was panting from being tickled so much. "That was fun!" she giggled. "Now I'm tired.". "Good... I was hoping that would tire her out." Natsu thought.
They both got up and Lucy stumbled over on to her bed. Natsu was walking towards the window to leave when Lucy suddenly grabbed his vest and pulled him in with her. "Where do you think you're going?" Lucy asked. "Um... home?" Natsu replied. Lucy shook her head. "Nope. You're gonna cuddle me." she said. "Um..." was all Natsu was able to say. "Natsu... my belly aches from you tickling me... rub it and make it feel better." Lucy asked. The dragon slayers face blushed a light shade of red. "R-rub your belly?" he nervously asked. "Rub my belly." she confirmed. Natsu nervously reached his hand out, and slowly slipped it under Lucy's shirt. He began to slowly rub Lucy's stomach. Lucy did a pleasureful giggle and said "That feels nice.". Natsu nervously chuckled and continued to rub her stomach. The two were laying side by side. Lucy was on her back and Natsu was on his side. Lucy then moved her hand up and held the hand Natsu was using to rub her stomach. "L-Lucy?" Natsu said. She had her eyes closed and she purred with delight. "W-what is going on..." Natsu thought. Then he noticed that Lucy was now asleep. He slowly pulled his hand out from under her shirt and climbed off her bed. He tip-toed to the window to make sure she wouldn't wake up and drag him back into bed with her. When he got to the window he leaped out. He leaped off the roof and then walked towards the guild. "Mira owes me big time." he said.
