*Chapter Thirty-One: Merry Fucking Christmas- Part Three

(December 25th, 2017, Monday Afternoon)

"Thanks again for your help," Cana said, gaining Lucy's attention. She looked up from her task, offering a soft nod before her head dropped. Cana resisted the urge to sigh, wondering how long it would be until the girl started liking her. She had enough people dismissing her, especially when they didn't even bother to get to know her, only judging what they saw on the outside.

'I guess Lucy has a reason to distrust me,' Cana thought, remembering the stupid mistake she pulled on Lucy's first day. She was a bit tipsy and thought she could get a rise out of her audience, mainly one person in particular, but it had backfired and gotten her a slap to the face.

If she hadn't been so shocked, she would have complimented the girl's speed, accuracy, and strength. Her slap was a force to be reckoned with.

Cana went back to her own job, gluing the green and red papers to make loops for their streamers. Honestly, Cana didn't think much about Lucy. The only times she did was when the girl was around or she was thinking about her past mistakes, before and after the outbreak.

She clenched her teeth, nose scrunching as she tried pushing away the guilt that tried to overcome her. Not everything was her fault, but even some of the things Cana was responsible for, she didn't want to face them. However, if she could go back and change some things about her past, grabbing Lucy's boobs would have been one of them. She should have known the girl wouldn't take it well. She looked timid as fuck, but some light humor usually didn't hurt anyone.

Cana was wrong. Lucy got her feelings hurt and Cana had a sting on her cheek that lasted for a good ten minutes. Of course, the amount of alcohol she drank afterwards helped numb the pain.

Alcohol always numbed the pain.

Cana's eyes dulled before she took another swig from her flask, her nails digging into the leather wrapped around it. Her name was engraved into the leather in cursive, her father's way of making it up to her after he missed most of her childhood. She wished she could blame him, but she couldn't. It was her mother's fault for not telling him he had a daughter, but at the same time, she couldn't bring herself to be angry at her either.

Gildarts hadn't shown he was the best father, encouraging her drinking by sneaking her liquor when she was fifteen and letting her run around town until morning. It had only gotten worse when her mother passed away, Gildarts' parenting skills put to the ultimate test.

He had failed, but she didn't call him out on it. What teenager with a free pass would? She could do anything she wanted, but really, all she wanted was a father who showed he cared. All his praise sounded bogus, like he was trying to make it up to her. He never had a heart-to-heart with her, never gave her any wise words for growing up or dealing with problems.

He was a parent out of obligation, not love, and part of her wondered if that was why she grew up so fucked up.

The alcohol barely burned as it went down her throat, Cana used to the heat. Before she could legally smoke cigarettes she had already consumed nearly every type of beer, liquor, and wine, but it was never enough to permanently get rid of the disappointment life had given her. Maybe one day she wouldn't feel the need to drink to be happy, to spend another day in the shit hole the world had become. Maybe one day, but she was smart enough to know that day wasn't today.

'It may never come.'

"Dinner starts soon," Levy said, breaking the silence in the room. She stood, pulling on her boots before stretching. "Should we go now before it gets too lat— Cana, are you already drinking?"

"Damn straight." Cana grinned, holding up her flask. "You want some?"

Levy shook her head, giving Cana a long sigh. "You know I don't like the taste of alcohol."

"But you don't mind the dry mouth from weed?" Cana countered, causing Lucy to raise her head, her brows furrowed.

Levy glanced at Lucy, holding a hand up to stop whatever thoughts she might be thinking. Her eyes fell to Cana, giving her a glare. "I only do that sometimes, not every day."

"Do you even like smoking though?" Cana asked, raising to her knees before giving her friend a shit-eating grin. "Or do you like the attention you get from your lovers?"

Lucy's eyes widened, eyes flitting back and forth between the women. 'Lovers? As in plural?'

Levy sputtered for a moment, failing to get control of herself in time. That only caused Cana to laugh before standing, tucking her flask into her purse before wrapping it around her shoulders. The blue fur on the outside was scruffy and dingy, but it was her favorite purse, and nothing was going to make her throw it away.

"I'm not gonna judge," Cana said, her lips curving into a smirk. "I'd kill to have two guys fighting over me right about now. It's so damn lonely in this place."

"I'd rather talk about something else," Levy squeaked, her cheeks tinted red while the back of her neck started sweating.

"Aww, why?" Cana loved a good tease, but apparently today wasn't a good day to pick on Levy. "You guys could easily do a devil's threeway."

Levy crossed her arms over her chest, giving Cana a pointed stare. "If you want to talk about boys so much, maybe we should talk about Macao too?"

Instantly the smile fell from Cana's face. A thick, sickening feeling tried to worm its way into her heart, but before she let it take hold, she laughed, forcing herself to play through the pain. "Nah, that's boring. I'll find something better to tease you with later."

That was enough to get Levy to sigh until she looked at Lucy again, seeing the girl's puzzled face, unaware of her thoughts.

'Why would she bring up Macao?'

"I really don't smoke that much," Levy started, tearing Lucy away from her mind for a moment. "And if you want, I won't do it tonight if it'll make you uncomfortable."

Lucy shook her head, her voice strained from lack of use. "It's... fine. My friends... they used to." She swallowed, hoping it would soothe her throat. It didn't. "They liked e-edibles more."

Cana's eyes widened a bit while Levy's body relaxed. "Oh yeah?" She smiled when Lucy nodded, her relief filtering through her system, calming her nerves. "That's cool. I tried a few edibles before. I like them better than smoking, but can't really be that picky now."

"Did you ever get high?" Cana asked, seeing Lucy's head dip a bit, her personality pulling back, withdrawing from Cana's presence.

Still, the girl responded, a quick shake of her head before muttering, "N-no, but I... I thought about... it."

"Do," Levy stopped, wondering if Natsu would be mad at her for offering his roommate drugs. 'Lucy's not just his friend. She's my friend too...' She debated in her head, deciding Lucy was an adult, capable of making her own decisions. "Do you want to try some tonight? At the party?"

Lucy bit her bottom lip, seriously considering the offer. The only reason she didn't experiment before the outbreak was because the guy she was with at the time told her he didn't think it was a good idea, and after they broke up things got worse for her, and she didn't see her friends much.

Apparently no one wanted to hang out with a 'buzzkill'.

That had been partially Lucy's fault, but she didn't like thinking about that time in her life.

She welcomed the slight pain from the cut on her lip, letting that keep her grounded. Lucy thought about the offer for a moment, but she took too long. Levy waved a hand in front of her, rescinding her offer. "Never mind. It's probably not a good idea anyways."

Lucy wanted to frown, finding she didn't like her choice now taken away from her, but she supposed it was for the best. She didn't know how she would act when high, and it was better not to risk it. Besides, she imagined she would make a fool out of herself. People told her she got affectionate when drunk, so she figured the same would happen if she was high, which would only make things worse for her.

"You're... right," Lucy said, nodding.

"You two done?" Cana asked, holding up her dishes. "I'm starving over here."

"We're all starving," Levy said, rolling her eyes. She grabbed her stuff, the three leaving Happy safe and sound in their room before making their way to Natsu's. Levy managed to keep Lucy away from the door, letting Cana retrieve Natsu so the surprise wouldn't be ruined. Though, considering it was still light outside, Levy figured Lucy wouldn't be able to see the surprise anyway, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Natsu met them in the hallway with his and Lucy's dishes, a smile on his face as he asked them how the decorating was going. After locking up, the four walked to the arena, talking and joking.

Well, they were anyway. Lucy was observing, finding it oddly comforting to be with them. She had grown used to their presence over the months, and even if she barely participated in the conversations, she could still enjoy the company.

They were good people, and she was glad they let her be friends with them.

Aside from Natsu's friends saying they were glad he was out and sharing a few hugs and pats on the back, Lucy didn't note anything different during dinner. She kept to herself as she ate, her mind pleasantly blank for the most part. Her eyes would scan the surroundings a few times, but she didn't let her stare linger anywhere in particular for too long, not wanting to make anyone feel uncomfortable if they saw her looking.

Lucy finished eating before Natsu, but she waited for everyone to finish since they were going to the party next. She had some reservations about being at a party, but seeing as it was being held in a classroom, she figured it wouldn't get crazy. At least not like the college parties she went to before everything happened.

Lucy smothered her urge to smile when she recalled how silly she had been, playing beer pong and doing shots. She had been somewhat of a wild child, loving the freedom that came with leaving home for the first time. She still managed to make good grades, but she knew if she let her grades drop, her father would stop paying for her education, and she couldn't afford the university she attended. Given her family's wealth, she doubted she could get financial aid to cover everything.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Lucy's eyes snapped to the hand, but she didn't flinch away, merely needing to know who touched her. She wasn't surprised when she saw it was Natsu, seeing as he usually sat beside her.

Her eyes traced up his arm to his face, finding a warm smile. His eyes glowed with something she couldn't quite place, like a childish wonder. He opened his mouth, his voice revealing his excitement. "Time to go to the party!"

Lucy nodded, her anticipation bubbling in her chest. 'You can do this. It's just a party. Just go, try to have fun, then you'll be safe and sound in your room in no time.'

She followed him and his friends out of the arena and into the school. Natsu was nice enough to take her dishes, telling her he would meet her in Levy's room. Lucy didn't think about it as she followed the group, most of them parting when they got to the second floor to put away their dishes.

Lucy immediately went to grab Happy when she got into Levy and Cana's room, the sun hanging low in the sky. She wondered how long it would be until it was gone, leaving only darkness behind. That was, until the moon came out, shining its own light over the school.

A pout found its way on Lucy's face when Happy squirmed out of her grip, not wanting to be held at the moment. She wanted to keep him close, but she couldn't force him. That would only take away the cat's freedom and give her the chance to sport some new scratches. She didn't want either, so she let him be.

In no time, the group came back, holding various wrapped items in their hands. Some were covered in paper, others were surrounded by torn cloth. Gray hadn't even bothered wrapping his gifts, just shrugging when Cana called him out on it.

Lucy's eyes widened in panic when she realized she forgot Natsu's gift in their room. She was about to stand up, but Natsu walked in, a large backpack in his hand. His eyes scanned the room until he met Lucy's gaze, his smile widening before he walked towards her.

"So are you ready for this?" Natsu asked as he sat down, surprised when Lucy shook her head. "What's wrong?"

"I forgot something in the room," Lucy said, making a move to stand up before Natsu grabbed her wrist to keep her still.

"Sorry," he mumbled before letting go, relieved she hadn't jerked away from his grasp. "What'd you forget? Can it wait?"

Lucy shook her head, her body in an awkward position. She was halfway standing, almost hovering near his head. She decided to sit on her knees for a moment so she wouldn't look weird as she explained. "Your present... It's in there."

"Oh."

Two things surprised Natsu. He hadn't expected her to get him anything, and he didn't expect her to find a valid reason for going back to the room. He panicked, not wanting to ruin the surprise yet. He had to wait until it was dark, otherwise the present wouldn't be as special. "I can go get it. Where's it at?"

Once again, Lucy shook her head, causing his brows to furrow. "My box," she said, not needing to provide another answer.

She put her gift in her cash box.

The one with a lock.

He knew the combination, but Lucy didn't know he knew.

'Fuck.'

Lucy made a move to leave again, but Natsu held up a hand as he said, "Wait. You... you can give it to me later?" He hadn't meant to phrase it as a question, but it slipped out that way, his nerves getting the better of him. He had spent too much time preparing the surprise. He wanted to see her face when she saw it, but it was too early now.

Natsu thought about asking if he should bring the cash box to Levy's room, but he dismissed that idea immediately. He knew Lucy wouldn't go for it, so he let out a long sigh. "Is that okay? Just giving it to me later?"

Lucy didn't need to think about it long, deciding it would be significantly less embarrassing if it was just Natsu there. She didn't think he would suggest such a thing, unaware he just made things easier on her. She nodded, relaxing her body until she was sitting again.

Natsu breathed a sigh of relief, turning back to the center of the circle where people were putting their presents. He emptied his backpack, sliding his bottle of whiskey behind him for later. It was the same bottle he received for his last birthday, half of the contents still there. He didn't know if it would be bad or not, but he figured liquor lasted longer than beer. He had been saving it for a special occasion, and now seemed as good as ever.

Erza took care of separating the gifts, laying them in front of their recipients. Lucy's eyes widened when she saw two wrapped gifts placed in front of her, her heart already racing at the unknown. Someone gave her a gift? No, two people must have. She clenched her teeth, worry and guilt gnawing away at her. She hadn't brought anything with her for them, her hands empty and damp with sweat.

Lucy remained quiet, something she was good at. She watched as they started opening presents, her hands staying in her lap despite two gifts being within arm's reach. She didn't deserve them, their presence mocking her.

"How'd you even get this?" Jellal asked, holding up a foil package. He was looking at Gray before his eyes flitted down to the wrapper, seeing Erza and his name written in sharpie on it.

"Had to trade with someone," Gray said, shrugging. "I figured it'd be worth it."

Erza took the condom, putting it between her and her husband. "Well, thank you." It could be put to good use, the couple tired of being limited to having sex only once a week due to the ration system.

"Don't thank me," Gray laughed, giving them a huge grin. "I just don't wanna see you pregnant."

The look of happiness was wiped from Erza's face in an instant, a glare taking its place. That only caused him to chuckle as he shrugged. "What? You're scary enough as it is. I can't imagine you with mood swings too!"

Jellal made the mistake of snorting, directing Erza's frustrations on him. She growled for them to shut up, waving a dismissive hand. "Someone else open something."

Natsu, barely holding back his snickers, held up a small package marked for himself. He opened it, eyes sliding shut as he laughed. "Alright, ha ha. Who got me these?"

He held up a pair of scissors with a tag on it saying, "Please use me." His eyes glowed with warmth, enjoying the joke.

"It's actually from all of us," Levy explained, looking around the circle to see most people nodding. "You seriously need a haircut."

"I thought you liked guys with long hair?" Natsu asked, raising a brow.

All eyes went to Levy, seeing the girl's face burn with a blush before she harshly whispered at him. "I told you that in confidence!"

Cana elbowed Levy, giving the girl a wink. "Do you also like 'em wild? Or like the artsy kinda guys who have long hair?"

"Ugh!" Levy covered her face, trying to hide her embarrassment. The joke backfired. Instead of it being at Natsu's expense, he had somehow turned it around on her. "Maybe I like guys with long hair, but it just doesn't suit you. Okay? Besides, you're like a brother anyways. It just doesn't work the same way."

Natsu didn't take offense, merely running his fingers through his long locks before sighing. "Yeah, I know. I do need to cut it soon."

"If you want, I can give you a rubber band?" Erza asked, causing him to shake his head.

"Nah, I'll cut it... Or, maybe someone else can?" He held out the scissors as if they would volunteer now, but he was met with a good alternative.

"Jenny cut my hair," Gray said, making Natsu realize his hair was indeed shorter. How had he not realized that. "I'd ask her to do yours."

"Oh yeah, she was going to school to be a hairdresser." Cana hummed, grabbing a handful of her own brown hair. "Wonder if she can do anything about my split ends?"

Natsu tucked that information about Jenny away, deciding to ask her the next time he ran into her. He needed to do something about his hair. If he let it grow out, it would only be one more thing zombies could grab onto when he fought against them, and he needed every advantage he could get.

"You should open one next," Erza said to Gray, looking at his pile.

He nodded, picking up one that was wrapped in newspaper. Natsu smothered his grin, hoping Gray liked the present. Gray pulled the paper off, eyes widening as he realized what it was. "H-how'd you get these?"

"I asked Gramps," Natsu said, smiling at his handy work. Gray held a brand new package of ice mints, his favorite flavor. He had to nearly beg and plead for their leader to let him keep a whole container of candy, even if said container could fit in a small pocket. He had been storing them for two weeks, waiting for Christmas to give them to his best friend. "You like 'em?"

"Are you kidding me?" Gray looked up, disbelief written on his face. "This... this is awesome!"

"Damn, that's a good gift," Cana muttered, glancing over at Gray's pile. "You shoulda opened that one last. Mine's not as good."

Gray shook his head, reaching over to give Cana a pat on the back since she sat next to him. "It's fine, really. I'm just, wow." He looked at the mints again, his stomach twisting as he made up his mind on his earlier confliction.

Gray leaned back, pulling out a pack of unopened cigarettes. He tossed them to Natsu before he could change his mind, thinking his friend deserved them after such a thoughtful gift. "I'm not encouraging you to smoke, but if you want, there you go."

Natsu couldn't stop the grin from surfacing on his face, already turning the small box so he could hit it against his hand, packing the cigarettes inside. "Thanks!" He had been debating quitting, but he had also been craving some nicotine.

Natsu would have to sneak away some time during the party to go smoke, unsure if Levy and Cana would be okay with him doing it in their room. While Levy opened one of her gifts, Natsu looked down at Lucy, offering her a smile. "Are you gonna open yours?"

Lucy glanced up, merely shrugging at the suggestion. It was an act, something to make her seem indifferent. On the inside though, she was panicking, wondering what they could have gotten her.

She didn't know what the gifts were, the anticipation alone making her pulse jump. What if she couldn't handle what was inside? What if she didn't like it? 'That's a stupid thought.' Whatever it was, Lucy was sure she would like it just because someone thought of her.

Someone had actually went out of their way, for her.

Her shaky hands reached out, grabbing the square shaped gift wrapped in red. She peered down at it for a long moment, staring at her name scribbled at the top. Natsu's was right under it, letting her know it was from him. She took a deep breath before ripping at the paper, unaware that more eyes were turning towards her.

She swallowed thickly when she saw the pages on the side, letting her know Natsu had gotten her a book. That made sense. He didn't know much about her, so he stuck to a safe gift, something she was sure to enjoy.

Her breath hitched as the tore the last bit of paper from it, her eyes widening when she realized it was a book about astronomy. It was a common text book, no doubt found in the school. However, it was enough to spark something deep within her. She had to bite her bottom lip to keep it from trembling, warmth spreading through her chest at the thoughtful gift. They had spoken briefly about stars, but he remembered.

Natsu didn't have to give her anything, but he had gone above and beyond, getting her something she would like and could relate to.

"Thank you," she whispered, clutching the book to her chest as she looked up at him. He was wearing a fanged grin, clearly happy she liked her gift. She tried ignoring how handsome he looked when he smiled, but it was hard.

Why did he seem to radiate so much confidence?

"You're welcome. Maybe you could teach me more about the stars and stuff when you get time?"

Lucy nodded, her lips pulling into a small smile she couldn't fight. She saw Natsu's eyes light up, encouraging her to keep the smile. "I'd like that. Thank you for... for the present."

Just when Lucy thought she couldn't be happier, Natsu leaned back, resting on his hands. "That's not all of it though."

"It's not?" Lucy asked, blinking in confusion. 'Wasn't this more than enough?'

Natsu shook his head, barely holding back a chuckle. He couldn't wait to see the look on her face when he revealed the surprise. "I'll give you the other gift tonight. We gotta wait 'til it's dark out first."

"Well that doesn't sound perverted," Gray joked, causing Natsu to huff and everyone else to laugh.

"Really? I didn't mean it like that!" Natsu growled at Gray before turning back to Lucy. "Promise, it's nothing like that."

She nodded, not needing him to say anything to know. She trusted he wouldn't hurt her or take advantage of her. "I know." He was a good guy, someone she was proud to call her friend.

Natsu's eyes softened as his smile returned. He nodded, looking back at his friends to see who would open the next gift. There were more than Natsu thought there would be, but that was because their leader had a kind heart.

The week prior to Christmas, Makarov allowed the survivors a few extras at the commissary to ensure they would have something to give someone if they chose. There were a few decorations to hand out as well, most of them going to families instead of singles or couples without kids.

Natsu thought his friends did a great job decorating despite the limited supplies. There were red and green streamers hanging from the wall, as well as cut outs of Christmas themed things like trees, ornaments, and candy canes from construction paper. It gave him a sense of warmth, even if the air around them was on the colder side.

Speaking of cold, Lucy curled her body forward, trying to keep herself warm. She was going to have to start wearing two pairs of socks and mittens to combat the weather, every day growing colder than the last. Winter was just beginning, and they had a long ways to go before it warmed up.

'If we make it that long,' she thought, frowning as she flipped through the pages of her new book. She hadn't always been a pessimistic person, but she had seen enough bad things to have doubts. There was a good chance she wasn't making it out alive to see the end of whatever was going on.

If whatever was going on even ended.

'Would all the humans die out? Would there only be the dead left?'

She didn't know, and part of her was curious, wondering if she would make it. Then again, if she did die, it wasn't like she would care. She doubted the undead could think for themselves. In her mind, they had no self-awareness, which sounded morbidly blissful to her, but she still hoped that fate never found its way to her.

A hand on her shoulder snapped her out of her thoughts, brown eyes gazing up to find Natsu looking at her. She tried ignoring how warm his hand felt, goosebumps littering the skin around his touch. "Are you gonna open your other gift?"

His coy smile suggested he knew more about it than he should, but she brushed it off, nodding before grabbing the present. It was wrapped in newspaper and was rather lumpy, but still endearing in its own way. Lucy looked over the words written in red marker, realizing the gift was from Levy and Cana.

'What would they get me?'

Lucy's eyes widened before looking up, first at Cana, then at Levy. She had their complete attention without realizing it, her face inflaming with a blush. Swallowing hard, Lucy tore at the paper, her heart feeling like it pulsed in her throat.

Her eyes widened when she removed enough paper to figure out what it was, stunned to see a telescope in front of her. She had two questions thrumming at her mind. How did they get one, and how did they know she liked looking at the stars.

She glanced at Natsu for a second, ready to ask him if he told, but his smile was enough to silence the question. He looked, happy. Genuinely happy for her. She looked back at the telescope, mixed emotions swirling in her chest. Despite her confusion over the gift, Lucy was taught better than to stare blankly when she received something.

Lucy looked at Levy, then Cana, keeping her voice as even as she could as she said, "Thank you.. very much."

The smiles that spread over their faces made her blush darken. Cana gave her a wink, clicking her tongue. "Maybe you and me can use that to peep on some people."

While that caused a few people to chuckle, Lucy's brows raised, surprised to receive an invite to hang out, even if there was no way she would actually agree to something like that. After her privacy had been stripped away while being captured, Lucy didn't wish to do the same to others.

"Or we could look at the stars," Levy suggested, giving Lucy a little head tilt.

She swallowed, nodding before pulling the telescope closer, trying to ignore how many eyes were on her. "That... sounds good... Thank you."

Lucy calmed her shaky hands, reminding herself it was a good thing. Hanging out with people didn't need to be a scary experience. If she was ever going to get better, she had to get used to spending time with people again, and she had to branch out from just being around Natsu.

He was nice to be around, but she knew she could be a burden at times, and he was probably getting sick of spending every day with her when they weren't at work.

Plus, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if she got closer to Levy and Cana. Despite the rough start, Lucy was coming around, seeing Cana wasn't bad. She wouldn't allow her to grope her again, but Lucy had a feeling Cana wasn't going to try. It was clear Lucy wasn't okay with that, and Cana had even apologized afterwards and hadn't done anything to make her think she wanted to do it again.

"Maybe y'all can do it tomorrow night," Natsu suggested, giving them a shrug as if he hadn't already thought about it. "I got watch then. You guys can come up on the roof and spend some time there before bed?"

"That sounds like a great idea!" Levy looked to Lucy, her smile widening when the girl nodded her head in agreement. "Awesome! It's a date."

Lucy managed a small smile, cherishing her new possessions. She didn't have much now, and she knew material items weren't the most important thing in the world, but she still treasured them. They were thoughtful and she would do her best to keep them safe.

Her hand curled around her wrist, holding her charm bracelet against her skin. It was a reminder of her happier days, something she brought with her from before her life changed forever. It reminded her of her family. She didn't wear it much, fearful she would lose it or break it. She had to keep it safe.

She had to keep her good memories alive.

"Okay," Gray said, gaining the room's attention. "Who's next?"

.

.

.

And here's part three! What did you think? Lucy received most of her gifts! It wasn't much, but it meant a lot to her, especially since she didn't think she was getting anything. Any guesses on what Lucy's gift to Natsu is? It's small enough to fit in a cash box. (And in case anyone was wondering, Natsu didn't mess with her cash box, he just saw the combination a while back and kept quiet about it)

Warning, next chapter contains alcohol and marijuana use. I don't know how everyone feels about that, but it will be mentioned in the next chapter. Everyone partaking in these activities is doing so of their own free will and they're all above the age of 20. Lucy will not be participating in either activity. She decides to stay sober, in case anyone was wondering. Remember, I warned in Ch. 1 there would be drug use in this story.
