There was a commotion in the guild, people talking loudly, drunks celebrating, some girls had tears of happiness in their eyes and men were singing and drinking. It was an abnormal party, even for Fairy Tail, something different, more joyful and nobler, in a way.
"What the fuck!?" Ryker yelled in astonishment as he saw the commotion when he arrived at the guild.
"We're celebrating," Lisanna said happily, to him when he arrived at the bar.
"That I got, Lisy. But why?" he asked. "I've never seen the guild like this."
"It's because of the arrival of a new member", Mira said extremely cheerfully, approaching the two.
"Must be someone very special! When I walked in there wasn't all this commotion," Ryker said in a sarcastic tone, looking at Mira across the counter.
"You were jealous, how cute", Lisanna said teasing him with a cute smiling face.
"Shut up, Lisy! And stop teasing me." Ryker gave her a slightly irritated look.
Lisanna rose from her seat and wrapped her arms around the mage's neck, hugging him from behind, smiling silly.
"No way…" she said primly.
"Mira!" Ryker yelled, desperate with the situation. "Control your sister!", the eldest Strauss just laughed, with her angelic face, having fun with them both.
"Lisy" he said in a serious voice. "You have five seconds to let go of me, otherwise I'll make you read the entire History of Fiori", the mage clinging to him, let him go immediately and looked at him terrified.
"You wouldn't dare!" she said trembling.
"Want to bet?" Ryker looked at her as if challenging her.
"Anyway, I already dumped you," she said after staring at him for a few seconds and shrugging.
"Whatever. And who is this new member at the end?" he asked with genuine curiosity, not that he minded anyway.
"Levy's son," Mira smiled happily, showing all her inner light.
Ryker was surprised and unresponsive to the news. Levy was pregnant!? This was new. But she was so small and delicate and young, he would never think of her doing that sort of thing. Even more so with... Gajeel!? That ignorant bruiser?
He turned to spot the couple, finding them at a table more in the center of the guild being pampered, as she was. Many magicians came and greeted them and congratulated them both. He noticed that Gajeel was quite uncomfortable with the situation, it was to be expected. She was annoyed, for other reasons, Levy was not used to being the center of attention, and it made her shy and afraid, she didn't know how to behave.
To be honest, even he didn't know how to behave. Parents were something he didn't know what it was. He didn't even remember his own. There was Bisca, Alzack and his little girl Asuka, and there was also Macau and Romeo. Other than that she hasn't known any more fathers or mothers or both in a long time. Now there would be Levy and Gajeel and their son or daughter. What was he supposed to do anyway? What was done in such a situation?
"You should go say hello to them," Mira said. Ryker looked at her for a while, she knew what he was thinking and his dilemma, she knew him. He smiled and stood up heading towards the guild's newest parents.
"Hello," Ryker said as he reached Levy and Gajeel. "I…I heard the news," he said awkwardly. "Congratulations, I think…", Levy saw his nervousness, she knew he was away from his parents for a long time and shouldn't know how to react to it very well. She smiled gently and sweetly at him.
"Thank you, Ryker," Levy said smiling, to an embarrassed wizard.
Ryker smiled at her, but his expression changed to something more serious. "Gajeel. Levy. Don't let anyone take your child away", he said very seriously looking at the two, who looked back in the same way.
"No one would dare take a Dragon's child. And if they dare… may God have mercy on their souls", Gajeel said deadly serious, Levy accompanied him: "Don't worry, we'll die before we let that happen". Ryker looked at them both and smiled.
"So Levy, when are you going to lay the egg?", Natsu approached asking the dumbest thing as if it were the most normal thing.
Ryker turned to him with as much amazement as he could muster. "Can't he be serious"
"Unfortunately it's…" Gray said as he approached with a face of defeat.
"Which!? Didn't you know that babies come from eggs? How dumb you are?" Natsu said like he was the greatest genius in the world. Everyone had a bead of sweat on their heads.
"Well, let's just let it go." Ryker tried to ignore the pill he knew Natsu had delivered. "This deserves a celebration," he said.
"The guild is already celebrating, can't you see, idiot?", Gajeel said irritably.
"Gajeel!" scolded Levy. "Don't be rude!", she said making him shrink back in his chair mumbling unintelligible words, which only made the Script mage glare.
Ryker grabbed Gajeel by the collar and began to drag him out of the guild. "Hey! Where are you taking me!?" Gajeel yelled, to Levy's laugh.
"We are going to celebrate. Didn't you hear?" Ryker assured her.
"And who said I want to go!?"
Ryker stopped midway and turned his face with a shadow over it. "Gajeel... For your own good, you'd better come..." he threatened him.
"He looks like Erza!", the Iron Dragon Slayer thought scared.
"And you two come too," Ryker said similarly to Gray and Natsu.
"AHH! Erza in pants!", the two screamed in terror, being dragged away by the magician. The rest of the guild laughed as they reluctantly dragged them out.
It was amazing how he convinced them to go," Erza said with stars in her eyes, feeling very proud of her friend.
"He practically forced them," Lucy said looking at her in disbelief.
"Force can be a valid means of persuasion. He acted very well and the technique was perfect", defended Erza.
"He looked like you!" Lucy yelled.
"This is ridiculous! I'm not like that, but I must say he was magnificent. Maybe include his techniques in my repertoire", the redhead said thoughtfully. Lucy was defeated and lacking the strength to continue. ' They're the same,' she thought wearily, dismayed and defeated.
Ryker, Gajeel, Natsu and Gray were at a bar, sitting around a table. They had just arrived and were getting ready to begin their ethyl work. May God bless their livers.
Calling the waitress over, Ryker points four with his fingers and orders beer to start. When they arrive everyone takes their glasses and drinks, toasting to Fairy Tail's youngest father. So it goes on with another round of beer, and another and another. Now they move on to whiskey, and another round of whiskey. By this time the alcohol was already beginning to affect the mages' judgment and their speech was slow and confused.
"You know… kind of… you guys are nice," Ryker said slowly in his speech.
"You too, idiot! Hey! I… should I thank you for… for this celebration?", Gajeel reciprocated.
"I guess so. Isn't that what you do on these… on these occasions?", Ryker said a little cheerfully. "What's with that face, Gray?", he turned to the ice mage who had a sad and defeated face.
"Why did my parents have to diiiiee!? Why does Ur diiieed!?", Gray cried softly and depressed.
"What the fuck!" shouted Gajeel.
"Oh, oh, oh…Gray! Today is a happy day, rejoice!", Ryker said with a frown.
"But…[snif] but…[snif]," Gray sobbed between sniffles and his eyes drooped.
"That's an order!" Ryker spoke authoritatively, a la Erza. Gray regained his posture immediately. "And what's with the…Pink Hair?", he had a face, as if his brain was no longer there.
"I think his brain melted, gihihi."
"That wouldn't surprise me. It lasted a long time, I might add, hehehe," Gray chuckled silly.
Ryker snorted. "You guys are too weak… Mendy! Bring the vodka! The bottle!" he shouted at the waitress.
"Who is Mendy?" Gray looked confused.
"The fucking waitress!" Ryker explained.
"Her name is Mendy?" Gajeel said without being able to fix his eyes on anything.
"I do not know. I just started calling her that, I guess," Ryker said slightly red in his cheek from the drinks.
Needless to say, the magicians' table was the most... lively in the bar. They always end up getting attention in some way, not always orthodox. Especially when Gray decided to undress on the table, claiming he was not to blame for his actions and put all the responsibility on Ur, and then cried like a helpless baby. Who was Ur? The regulars wondered. Natsu looked like he had left this plane of existence, but he returned from time to time to spew fire around, eliciting laughter from the other mages.
Three bottles of vodka later...
"I think I'm going to diie! Tell… tell Judia I love her," Gray whimpered, his face lying on the table, his expression queasy, wanting to get everything out of his stomach.
"Stop being dramatic and… pull… pull it together, weakling!" Ryker said, almost vomiting. "And who is Judia?".
"I think…I think…he meant…Ju…Juvia," Gajeel almost released his insides onto the table.
"Whatever! No one will die …" Ryker, who was more over there than over here, was outraged. "You guys are so… so weak with drink!" he was annoyed. "Only Cana does the guild justice," he said, making Gray get up immediately.
"Don't say the demon's name!" Gray suddenly yelled.
"What the fuck are you talking!?" Gajeel growled.
"If you say that name in a bar, she will show up. Like magic," Gray said, his eyes wide from the alcohol, moving his hands in front of his face.
"You stupid bastard! Did your brain freeze for good? There are a billion bars in this shitty town and you think if someone says 'Cana' she'll be right here?", Gajeel said disbelievingly and sighing at the idiocy.
"Who's going to be here?" a high-pitched, alcoholic-happy voice said from behind them.
"Cana!", everyone shouted at the same time.
"W... what are you doing here?", Gajeel asked scared, Gray looked at him with an 'I told you so'.
"Drinking?" she said sarcastically, with a half-empty bottle of whiskey. She took a chair from the next table, which by the way had a person who was going to sit in it and ended up falling to the floor. Cana took a seat next to Ryker, who smiled broadly and with a happy drunken face.
"Cana!", he said happily hugging her, taking everyone by surprise. "I love you!", and he kissed her right cheek.
"Awww, how cute! I love you too!" she said, ruffling the wizard's hair.
"Do you love each other!?" Gajeel asked in amazement.
"I love everyone now," Ryker replied laughing, excluding Cana, no one understood what he meant.
"Since Cana is here… Tequila! Mendy!" Ryker yelled calling the waitress who came with a bored look.
"It's Dani", she corrected him and he shrugged. "What do you want now?" she asked impatiently.
"A bottle of tequila, salt and sliced lemon, for everyone," Cana asked.
"I've already brought it to you gentlemen," she said, tired of that group.
"Hey, you bastard! I… I can't stand it anymore… drinking, dammit!", Gajeel said, furious and drunk. "I'm going to vomit all my iron like this!" he yelled.
"Me neither!" Gray followed.
"Nonsense! You can handle it. Are you going to give up that easy? How embarrassing...", Ryker challenged them, and no one challenges Gray and Gajeel and got away with it. They looked at the mage and stated that they would continue drinking even if they died from it.
"Too easy", he commented with Cana who laughed, they greeted each other with a fist meeting.
"I just arrived and I want to drink with you. What happened to Natsu!?" she asked.
"We concluded that his brain melted", Gray said, poking his friend's eye, who didn't show any reaction. Cana shrugged.
Gajeel looked at Ryker and Cana with sleepy eyes. Ryker had his arm around the woman's shoulders, as the two exchanged words he didn't understand, but they both had smiles on their faces, or at least that's what he identified.
"W...what's in...between you two?" he asked slowly.
Gray looked at the two of them across the table. Ryker had eyes fixed, well fixed, on Cana's boobs, he was practically mesmerized. "Hey! Don't look there, your per... per... vert!" the ice mage yelled.
Ryker looked at him as if he were doing nothing while Cana chuckled. "Ah Gray, don't be jealous," she made fun of him.
"I'm not!", he defended himself, taking off his shirt. "This, this guy is a pervert, he was looking at your…", he stopped blushing and didn't want to say the word.
"Hahaha…you silly, I know", she laughed like it was nothing. "He always does that when we go out."
"WHAT!?" Gray and Gajeel said at the same time. "Have you already…?" the ice mage tried to ask.
"She is a grown woman, she knows how to defend herself. And yes, for your question." Gray scowled and nearly ran into the other wizard clinging to his friend.
"Calm down, Gray! Those breasts aren't yours anymore," Cana said, laughing heartily. That small statement blushed Gray and embarrassed him, taking away all his protective momentum as well as baffling Ryker and Gajeel. Natsu was in another world.
"S…shut up, Cana!" Gray snapped.
"Cana? Are you…you and Gray…!?" Ryker asked, half curious and half mischievously.
Cana smiled broadly. "It was good while it lasted," she smiled happily.
"Gray! You shameless bastard!" he yelled to his embarrassed fellow.
"T... that was a long time ago!", the ice mage defended himself.
"Gihihihi... Wait until Sprinkler knows about this", Gajeel said smiling looking at the terrified ice mage.
"D…don't tell her anything, Gajeel!" Gray said almost pleadingly.
"I think she deserves to know, Gihihi", Gajeel looked at him with his deep red eyes.
"Please don't!" Gray pleaded, almost with tears in his eyes. What alcohol doesn't do to a person… Ah, how Gajeel was loving that scena.
"Calm down, Icecream! It's not like Juvia is jealous," Ryker commented casually.
At that moment, everyone at the table, even Natsu, spit what they had in their mouths and burst out laughing, the biggest and longest laugh of the night, they slapped their hands on the table causing a scandal. The entire bar again turned to them to see what was going on. Four wizards laughing desperately, one terrified with his hands on his head, practically in tears. The others cried with laughter.
Gray could already imagine:
"I'm sorry Gray-san, but Juvia found someone better. Someone who really loves her and doesn't betray her", Juvia said with a serious and unloving look.
"Wait Juvia! I love you! What happened to Cana was a long time ago, I didn't even know you. Come back!" he yelled as Juvia turned her back and walked away, clutching a man, another man. One with silver hair... wait! Which!?
"You had your chance, Gray. Now Juvia and I love each other and are going to get married. Don't bother my dear Juvia-chan again", Lyon said with a deadly serious look at him. Juvia, in turn, looked at him with love and affection, as never before.
"I love you Juvia-chan", Lyon would say lovingly.
"Juvia loves you too, Lyon-sama", she spoke sweetly and all melted in the strong arms of another ice mage.
They kissed passionately, their tongues enveloping each other. When they finished their hot kiss, they turned and walked away, toward the rising sun.
"Juviiiaaaa!" Gray yelled uselessly.
"NOOOOO!", Gray yelled in despair. "I AM 'SAMA'! Don't be with Lyon, Juvia! I love you!" he screamed at the top of his lungs. Needless to say, the rest of the table laughed at his public declaration of love, something he would have done more if it weren't for the alcohol gods.
"Surely Juvia will know about that, gihihi", Gajeel cried with laughter, imagining infinite possibilities of ordeal in the future. That's clear if he remembers.
"Here's what you ordered," Mendy/Dani arrived with a bottle of tequila, a jar of salt and lemon beeches. She left it on the table and withdrew, tired of those insufferable wizards.
"Well idiots, I hope tomorrow they don't have anything important to do. Because tequila will make you useless," Ryker said knowingly. "Even more after beer, whiskey and vodka," he chuckled.
"I would have to go on a mission with Juvia tomorrow," Gray complained.
"It won't," laughed Cana.
"Let's drink, but the right way," Ryker said, grinning mischievously.
"What do you mean?" Gajeel looked confused.
"Salt, tequila and lemon. That's the order. Put some salt in your hand, between your thumb and forefinger, then you take the salt, drink the tequila and suck one of these lemon slices", he explained, the others looked at him confused, never hearing about it.
"But…" he continued. " you suck from your partner's hand".
Now it was too much! They looked at him as if they saw an ET in front of them. "What nonsense is this!? I've had tequila before and I've never heard of it!" snarled Gajeel angrily.
"Shut up! That's how you drink it," replied Cana seriously. "Have you ever seen me make a mistake about drinking?" she asked them. In fact, when it came to drinking, she was Fiore's number one expert.
Gajeel and Gray looked at her and then at each other. Their brains weren't at full steam, not even under the best of circumstances, they shrugged and accepted.
"Excellent. My pair is Cana," Ryker said, smiling mischievously, she gave it back the same way.
"Hey, why is she your pair?" Gray asked.
"She's on my side, and I chose first. Your partner is Gajeel and Natsu", he said rather seriously, trying to contain his laughter. The ice mage reasoned a bit and nodded. It makes sense when you're drunk and not thinking.
They prepared, Ryker was going to take the salt from Cana's hand, drink it from Cana's hand and she would give the lemon in his mouth, and vice versa. The same as the other mages, which would be hilarious. Cana only claimed to be true what he said because she understood what he was getting at. And there's nothing more Fairy Tail than screwing around with your teammates.
"Please say you have a camera," he whispered into the card mage's ear.
"Already in hand," she said smiling, looking at Gajeel, Gray and Natsu handing each other the tequila. "They are so cute," she laughed along with Ryker, filming and taking pictures. They didn't even notice. "You suck!", she laughed looking at him.
"I know," Ryker chuckled seeing the unbelievable seine in front of him.
Yes they did it! Round after round, until the bottle is finished. Gajeel sucked the salt from Gray's hand, which he gave to Gajeel, who put the lemon in Gray's mouth, and vice versa. Natsu came in between, when Gajeel and Gary finished, it was his turn, stepping in serving both and being served by both.
A bottle of tequila later...
Ryker was sucking, kissing and running his tongue lightly along Cana's neck, who clung to him, enjoying the sensation he gave her. Gently he rose and fell, feeling all the flesh with his lips as she moaned lightly at his touch. Slowly he reached up and sucked on her right earlobe, which moaned a little louder.
"Have I told you I love your arms?" he whispered in her ear as he sucked on her.
"A…always", she replied between moans.
"Have I told you I love your smell?"
"Uh-huh...", she let out between squeals of pleasure.
"Your skin is so soft," he said as he attacked her neck once more.
"I know…" she said tilting her head to the side so he had more access to her neck, which he attacked hungrily.
While Cana and Ryker were having fun, Gajeel kept going back and forth in his chair, looking lost and without an identifiable expression on his face. Natsu was passed out with his face pressed to the table. Gray, in an uncomfortable position, was leaning back in his chair with his head back and his mouth open, drool running down his side.
Suddenly Gray jumped out of his chair yelling "Lyon you damn bastard!", startling everyone who looked at him.
"What is now, icy abomination!?" complained Gajeel, who seems to have returned to the living world despite his slurred speech.
"You better have a really good excuse, Gray," Cana said irritably and menacingly for having her moment interrupted.
"Lyon! He wants my Juvia", he said with anger in his eyes, a fire that was not always seen.
"Stupid bastard! That again!?" complained Gajeel irritably. He was already bad from so much alcohol and now he had to put up with mindless delusions.
"Let's go! We have to go to Lamia Scale"
"What!?", Gajeel said, not understanding anything.
"That inglorious bastard has been plotting something to take Juvia away from me. But I won't let it, I'll unravel your macabre plan and end it. Love will win!" Gray yelled at the end with a raised fist.
"Excellent! Now he's gone mad...", Gajeel said defeated.
"I think it might be fun," Ryker said, supporting the ice mage. "He talked about this Luon, Leon, or whatever, all night long. I want to see what's so special about him," he chuckled mischievously.
"Filth! And what are we going to do with this other bastard?" Gajeel said pointing to Natsu.
"Load him," Cana said, leaving.
"Hey where are you going?" Ryker asked.
"Pay the bill", she replied as if it was obvious what she was doing. "Missing me already?", she said, smiling mischievously at the wizard, who smiled back.
Ryker caught her around the waist, pulling her close to him. "Oh yes I am. It's been so long," he looked at her longingly…although he was pretty drunk.
"We saw each other the other day", she caressed his face lightly. "And I'll be right back, baby", she gave him a light kiss and pulled out of his grip to pay.
Gajeel and Gray caught Natsu, standing on either side, carrying him. The fire mage moaned as he began to be loaded. "Igneel... I can read... I've already learned to put words together," he said sweetly, as if he were talking in his sleep. The two ignored it and continued walking to the bar door waiting, along with Ryker, for Cana.
As soon as she arrived they headed towards Lamia Scale, more precisely Lyon's house, for Gray to dismantle his plan to separate him from Juvia.
"How much did it cost to you?" Ryker asked Cana, who was wrapped around his arm.
"Nothing. I put it on the Council's account," she chuckled nastily. Ryker just shrugged and continued walking with her on his arm, the two of them close together.
Gray and Gajeel were walking ahead of Cana and Ryker, dragging Natsu by the arms.
Natsu suddenly giggled. "Gray…not there. It tickles…", he said slyly and laughing silly. Everyone stopped and looked directly at Gray, who was in a cold sweat.
"What does he mean by that, Fullbuster?" Gajeel said looking deeply at Gray.
"I'd rather not know," he replied. "Let's keep going".
A few steps later, Natsu started to giggle again. "Lucy…don't be shy. Get up, I want to see it again... ", he said again slyly and laughing silly.
"This guy has serious problems," Gajeel said, carrying the wizard. Gray nodded.
"So this is Lyon's house?", Cana said admiring the facade of the manor house. It had a beautiful front yard, a white fence, and beautiful flowers planted under every window. The house was a shade of ice blue and the door was wide and white, as was the frame of it and all the windows.
How did they get there? Only God knows.
"Yes. Now shut up and help me open the door," Gray snapped in a whisper.
"Why are you talking so low," Gajeel said almost shouting. Gray stood up – he was bent over the door lock – and covered the Dragon Slayer's mouth, which glared at him.
"Speak low! Lyon is sleeping at this time. We can't wake him up," Gray whispered to him.
"We're only here because of your idiotic delusion," grumbled Gajeel.
"It's not a delusion and it's not an idiot. No love rival is going to steal Juvia from Gray-sama!" Gray said with an ethereal determination.
"Hahaha... Since when did he become Juvia!?", Cana spoke with an amused air. "He's even talking in third person", she laughed and Gajeel cursed himself.
"Where's Ryker, by the way?" Gajeel realized he wasn't in the group.
"He was here just now," Cana said with a thoughtful look.
"Why don't you go find your boyfriend?", Gajeel told her who looked at him with boredom.
"Boyfriend!?", she was thinking about alcohol, when the door of the house opened scaring everyone, who despaired, thinking they had been caught.
"Get in all of you soon!", Ryker said from inside the house, they looked at him in surprise, but entered quickly and closed the door behind them.
"How did you get in?" Gray asked curiously.
"Through a window," he said like it was nothing. "He has a nice house I must say", all agreeing with how neat and beautiful the interior was, as far as they could see through the darkness.
"We can do the tour another day. Now we must find the terrible plans against love," everyone rolled their eyes. That was already starting to get on my nerves.
"And where can they be, Popsicle?" Ryker asked dismissively.
"In his room, of course," Gray replied as if he were Sherlock Holmes. No one saw the obviousness of it, but how to dispute it with the wisdom of a drunk man?
"Okay, and what do we do with this dead weight?" Gajeel referred to Natsu.
"I'll leave him here", Ryker solved the problem and they dropped Natsu to the ground, who hit the floor hard.
"Shhhhh!" Gray turned and made the sign of silence as the fire mage hit the ground.
They climbed the stairs and crept into the master bedroom. It was big and there was a king size bed where Lyon slept. There was a desk in front of the bedroom window, with books and some notes, on the other side a large armoire that covered the entire wall of the bedroom, probably made to order. In one corner was another door, which probably led to the bedroom's bathroom.
The bastard had a suite in his house, Gray thought. It was where he had perverted dreams about his Juvia, where he was plotting a plan to take her away from him, where he would take her and do unspeakable things with her in that huge bed, in that bathroom, on the table... thoughts were leaving Gray more than annoyed.
"So genius! Where are the dreaded diabolical plans?" Gajeel asked him.
"Over there!" He pointed to the closet. He walked towards it, opened it and started and rummaged around like a determined madman, taking everything out and throwing it on the floor all around the room. It was a hilarious sight for the rest of the wizards. Cana didn't miss a thing with his camera.
As silent as they thought they were, the sounds were enough to disturb and begin to wake Lyon from his slumber.
Slowly he began to open his eyes, still blurry without being able to see anything, but the sounds were clear in his ears. "Who, who are…", he started to speak, but stopped.
The Fairy Tail mages looked startled. Getting caught breaking into another mage's house would not do well for the guild's reputation and would cause serious problems for them, not that they cared about their current state. But Lyon was asleep again, and Ryker was standing beside him.
"What happened?" Gray looked startled.
"He was waking up so I knocked him out," Ryker explained calmly. Gray stopped for a second and went back to his search, in the process he lost his clothes. Ryker shrugged and went to Cana's side, whispering something in her ear, which made her giggle.
After Gray rummaged through the closet and possible secret compartments and found something that looked to be useful. "AHA!" he yelled.
"Find something," Gajeel said boredly, sitting on Lyon's bed, leaning his face in his hand.
"The proof of the crime!" Gray had a black folder in his hand. He went to the window, where it had more light and opened it, Gajeel with him. When the two saw what they were they blushed.
"Is this... isn't that Sprinkler's friend?", Gajeel asked confused?
"Meredy, yes," Gray replied.
"Why are pictures of her with Lyon?" Gajeel said.
"And why is she…without clothes?" Gray said, they both looked at the pictures, lots of pictures. They were admiring…you know, for a long time.
"Aren't they all taken in this room?" Gray realized, that's when a snap came to mind. "That's it!" he shouted.
Gajeel raised his hands in the air, grateful that the ice idiot had finally realized what those photos meant to Lyon and what Meredy meant to him.
"Lyon wants to take pictures of Juvia naked!", Gajeel gave up at that moment of his life. "Lyon wants Juvia naked! Not in your bastard dreams. This right is mine, alone! Only I can see and touch and...".
"SHUT UP!" shouted Gajeel. "Spare me the details. I'm getting out," he turned to leave. "Where are Ryker and Cana?", Gajeel said noticing that only the two of them were in the room.
"Aren't they here?" Gray said turning around and seeing the room empty. "Where can they be?"
Gray dropped the folder and went out with Gajeel to look for them both. They didn't have to take more than a few steps to the door of the next room and hear... creaking of a bed, moaning and loud screams coming from inside.
"It can only be a joke!?" groaned Gajeel.
"For the love of God! Get a room, you two!" roared Gajeel.
"We just came from there," Cana said playfully and mischievously. She was sitting on Ryker's lap, who was sitting on the sofa in Lyon's living room. She kissed him passionately and very hotly while he felt her ass, massaging and squeezing.
"Gray, honey. Why don't you see if there's something in Lyon's pantry. I'm starving," asked Cana. "You know, I exercised a lot just now," she giggled. Reluctantly he left and she went back to her work with Ryker.
"Gajeel looked at them with disgust. "You guys are disgusting," he said.
"Sorry Gajeel, but I can't help it. She's pretty, fun, smart and really, really hot," Ryker said between warm kisses and hugs.
"Awww! That's how I fall in love," Cana said with malice. Ryker smiled at her teasing and kissed her harder, one hand coming up from her ass to cup her waist while the other landed on one of her beautiful boobs. He reached inside her bra and began massaging her boob and squeezing her nipple. Cana let out squeals and moans between their kisses, much to Gajeel's disgust.
After a while, the ice mage come back. "Look, I just found this," Gray said bringing up a mountain of stuff. Fine hams, hams, fine cheeses of various types, salami, sausages, dates and expensive wines.
Gajeel looked at it all and drooled, with the hunger the smell was bringing him. "I think I'm a little hungry too," he said, forgetting about the couple on the couch.
"Bring, bring, bring!", Cana said with open arms, eyes closed and a happy smile for the treats.
"It made me hungry too," Ryker said, until Natsu woke up.
"Lyon really has refined taste," Cana pointed out to the top-notch products Gray had brought.
They all ate like kings and drank every available wine, well Cana drank more than anyone by far. They had full stomachs, they drank, they talked, they laughed, they finally had fun with Lyon, and he didn't even know it.
"Where are we going now?" Cana asked excitedly. "Since Gray didn't find Lyon's plan to have his precious Juvia," she said, nudging him with her elbow and giving him a mischievous look.
"Just because I didn't find it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist," Gray explained, still suspicious, making everyone roll their eyes in disbelief.
"I've been thinking about something," Ryker said thoughtfully.
"Now I got carried away!", Cana said putting her arms around his neck and staying close to him, who held her around the waist with his arm.
"Gajeel will be a father, so you know...", the Dragon Slayer looked at him in total disbelief "Gray lost his virginity with Cana and is dating Juvia for a while, so you know...", the ice mage looked at him not believing what he said, besides turning red like Erza's hair at the insinuation, "I don't have that problem, Cana knows", he said and she smiled hugging him closer and looking with animal lust at him. "Now what about Natsu?", he said to a bewildered fire mage without understanding what was going on.
"AHH! I already know where you want to go," Cana said blowing in his ear, making the mage shiver. "You have a sooo dirty mind," she said biting his ear, making Gajeel and Gray sick.
"And you like it," he snapped, taking her in a pornographic kiss.
"You two are like rabbits," Gajeel said disgustedly.
They stop kissing and Cana looked at Gajeel with a doubt rising in her mind. "That made me curious." He put his finger to her chin thoughtfully. "Gray is my best friend and we had sex for a while anyway"
"CANA!" the ice mage yelled terrified and embarrassed.
"Shut up, idiot!", she snapped and continued. "Juvia and you are best friends. Did you guys fuck each other back in Phantom? Doesn't hide any details", she smiled mischievously. Ryker also had to say that he was curious.
Gajeel had no reaction, he just stared at her trying to believe if he had actually heard that or if he had died, gone to hell, to be punished for his sins. Gray was also stunned by her insinuation. He just didn't freak out, because he knew the truth.
"A… are you crazy woman!?" he yelled. "I barely spoke to her back then, you brainless and perverted madwoman!"
"Look how you talk to her, Gajeel," Ryker warned him.
"I don't see the problem. She calls you 'kun'. That to me is na indicative, you naughty little one", she laughed playfully.
Gajeel threw up his hands in defeat. "I don't even know why she calls me that, it had no reason to. She's crazy, did you forget!?".
"HEY! It's my Juvia you're talking about! Only her Gray-sama can call her crazy," Gray warned him with a serious, irritated look. "Besides, she was pure like the waters of a crystal clear spring in the mountains. For your information, Cana".
"Awww! Gray was her first so…" she said mischievously.
"Shut up all of you!" Gajeel shouted. "Say what you have in mind at once," he turned to Ryker, who was grinning at the whole mess, flushed in his cheeks from the alcohol in his blood.
He smiled at her and she smiled back, they both looked at the other three wizards mischievously. "Let's solve Natsu's problem. Let's go to a brothel," he said.
Gajeel and Gray screamed in horror. "We're not going anywhere!" they shouted in unison.
"What's my problem?" Natsu asked innocently.
"You will!"
"We will not!"
"Yes you are!"
"No, we're not!"
"How did we end up here!?", Gray and Gajeel yelled not believing what was happening. They had entered a brothel in town.
"Relax you two. We only came for Natsu," Cana raged.
"Like he's going to do anything!", Gajeel said irritated and embarrassed by where they were. "Look at that idiot. He can't even tell where he is," he said, pointing to a fire mage looking around, looking lost.
"I'm going to get a drink," Cana said getting up from the couch they were sitting on.
"Aren't you afraid they'll mistake her for some stupid girl around here?" Gajeel asked Ryker, who was sitting with his head down. There was no response.
"Hey, idiot!" the Dragon Slayer yelled.
"Ryker!" he yelled again, making the mage look up in shock.
"Sir! Yes, sir!" Ryker yelled.
"You were Sleeping!?"
"No?" the other mage tried to confirm.
Gajeel glared at him, veins starting to throb in his forehead. However, a cry of fear diverted his attention to the other side and to another mage.
A beautiful woman, wearing only the sexiest lingerie, with orange flowing hair and beautiful green eyes with white but tanned skin, voluptuous body and a sexy demeanor was sitting on the lap of a scared ice mage.
"You are very handsome you know, stud," she said, running her hand over Gray's broad, muscled chest. "I think it's the best I've seen here today," she whispered into his ear, making him shiver. "Want me to do something dirty to you? Just ask", she whispered and bit his ear. Gray had no reaction.
Gajeel looked at him mortified. Anger welled up in him as he looked at Gray, deadly serious. "Listen here Fullbuster. If you dare betray Juvia...", he said in a threatening tone.
Gray looked at him pleadingly. "G…get her off me!" he begged. Gajeel rolled his eyes and let the ice mage take care of his own problems. As he was, Gajeel knew the ice mage wouldn't do anything even if he wanted to.
"Ahhh! Much better now," Cana said sitting down with a bottle of liquor in her hands.
"How can your liver take it!?", Gajeel asked sickly looking at how much she could drink. Cana shrugged and continued drinking. "Your boyfriend died," he said.
Cana looked to her side and saw Ryker passed out with his head resting on the back of the couch. "Later I'll make him wake up," she said, laughing with amusement, which made the iron mage even more sick.
"I'm going for a walk", he said wanting to unwind, where he didn't know. That environment was not the type to... unwind. Even more, with those purple lights, the Pole Dance barrel, and a bunch of half-naked guys and girls walking around, not to mention the smell of sweat, cigarettes, and cheap drinks.
"Gray, get rid of this girl!" he said before getting up.
"I… I'm trying", the ice mage said pushing the girl off his lap, but to no avail. She was tied to him like a tick.
Gajeel was in a place a little quieter and away from all the hustle and bustle. He decided to cure his drunkenness, which was still strong, by staying quiet in his corner. He knew that if he came home like this Levy would kill him for sure.
Some girls tried to talk to him, to propose some deals, but they were quickly rebuffed. At least he had more willpower than the ice bastard. He would talk to him later, if he remembered everything that happened, something he doubted he would, but anyway... Worst of all, even some men talked to him and proposed some service, he had to control, and a lot, so as not to do some slaughter in that place.
He blamed it on the damn alcohol, which must have made him more tame. Yes, alcohol is to blame for everything. For a lot less he would have blown up the face of all those "friends" who forced him to go to this stupid celebration. He could easily be standing next to Levy and the child she was carrying, but now he'd been drinking all night and for the rest of his life, his liver would remind him of that every day, he was sure. He'd broken into another ice bastard's house because of some idiotic delusion and now he'd been dragged into a fucking brothel. What else was missing!?
Gajeel was rambling when he heard a commotion in the establishment. From the direction of the sound he knew and he sighed in annoyance. That noise was coming from where he had left his friends. When he looked, he felt butterflies in his stomach, like never before in history.
Gray just couldn't get rid of the girl, as now there was another one clinging to him and taking advantage. Ryker and Cana had gone back to rubbing each other and worst of all... an image he knew would never leave his mind... Natsu, naked, completely naked, dancing pole dance, screaming and spreading fire to everywhere. Immediately he left where he was, he needed to stop it from getting worse. What could be worse than that!?
"Look where you're going, idiot!" shouted Gajeel as he bumped into someone else.
"What did you say?", this person spoke, irritated by the hostile attitude of the iron mage, who looked at him directly and got scared.
"Sting!?"
"Gajeel!?"
"W…what are you doing here!?" asked Gajeel in a very nervous state.
The other Dragon Slayer ran a hand through his hair awkwardly, looking nervous. "I'm on…a mission?" he said. When he was about to return the question, the commotion caught his attention and he looked to see something he would rather not see. Would tearing your eyes out be an option?
Gray was standing on the couch in his boxers screaming something like 'love always wins and Lyon won't steal his wife and Juvia is his power to live' while the two girls, clutching each of his legs, looked on with hearts. in the eyes. Natsu, naked, swung around on stage, trying to do something he identified as pole dancing, or something more abstract, besides yelling 'Fairy Tail commands!'. Cana was dragging Ryker into one of the bedrooms? What was happening!?
Sting looked aghast at the scene the Fairy Tail mages were making and at the terrified Gajeel and noticed something different about him. "Are you drunk!?"
Gajeel recoiled at the question. "I… this is none of your business! Now excuse me", he said pushing the blond wizard who fell on top of some people. It would be okay if they weren't mages from a dark guild.
A fight began, dragging the entire establishment into a generalized brawl. Excellent! That night couldn't get any better.
"Finally Magnolia," sighed Gajeel with relief.
"Oh, it wasn't that bad," Cana said, Gajeel glared at her.
"Where's Natsu? He came back with us, didn't he?" Ryker asked looking around. He was holding Cana around the waist and she was holding him around the waist, too. They stayed like this basically all night.
"I think so. He must have gone home, it will soon be dawn anyway", stated Gajeel. The other two wizards agreed.
"What about Gray?" Cana asked.
"He's running to Juvia, yelling that nonsense," Gajeel said.
"Fairy Hills, huh!" Cana noted. "Good luck to him," she said flatly.
"Are you going home?" Ryker asked the Dragon Slayer.
"If I come back like this, Levy will kill me," moaned the mage. "I'm shabby, dirty, reeking of crappy cigarettes and booze and most of all someone threw up on my pants," he said deeply annoyed.
"Sorry about vomiting," Ryker apologized. "As for being beaten up, I had nothing to do with it. I didn't even participate in the whole mess," he said, excusing himself from the blame.
"Why is it?" Gajeel said, squinting at Cana and Ryker.
"Well if you want you can sleep at my place," Ryker offered.
"Really!?" Gajeel looked really surprised by his gesture.
"Enjoy how good I am," the other mage said with a slight smile.
Gajeel eyed him suspiciously at that drunk freak. She still hadn't gone to Fairy Hills where she lived, that meant… "Wait! Are you two going...?"
"Yes," they said together.
"We never stayed in one," Cana snarled, looking at Ryker with lust.
"You guys are worse than rabbits," he said with disgust, but he had no choice so he accepted the invitation. It was better than facing an angry Levy, so he returned the perverted couple home.
Gajeel settled down on the couch until it was comfortable and Ryker offered his bathroom for him to shower and some clothes to change. They were big for him, but for one night it would do. Of course he'd have to put up with that baby crying from time to time, but what could he do? Since when does Ryker have a dog? But that was the least of it.
He was almost falling asleep when the moans and screams started. They got louder and louder over time. The creaking of the bed, the pounding, moaning, swearing, screaming and all those sounds, damn sounds. He knew it would never get out of his head, never again, he was doomed. It would be a long end to the night. After all, they didn't stop producing them.
"Wow, you guys are horrible," Macau said looking at the half-finished magicians.
"Do not tell me that. Now shut up my head is bursting," Gray grunted.
"Juvia is so happy! Gray-sama declared himself so romantically to her last night", she looked on, sitting beside him, hearts in her eyes, more passionate than ever.
"Damn Juvia! I'm sorry but I don't remember. All I know is that I woke up in your room and I don't even know how I got there," the ice mage said rubbing his temples.
"Ah, but Juvia remembers. It was so romantic, Gray-sama! He said that Juvia is his power to live and that he would not let any man take her. I think Juvia fell even more in love with Gray-sama, if that's possible", she said grabbing him and putting her cheek on his and rubbing herself against it.
"That was so cute Gray," Lisanna said smiling.
"This is being manly! Congratulations Gray," Elfman greeted him. Gray only had the strength to grunt in pain, shame and regret.
"It really was beautiful, Gray. Too bad I had to knock him out. You know, no boys in Fairy Hills. Rules are rules". Erza said empoado.
"What about you Gajeel!" Levy yelled from another corner of the guild. "Why didn't you come home yesterday!?" she said with a serious and annoyed face.
"Listen to Shrimp. The only thing I remember is waking up in that depraved house," he said pointing to Ryker at the bar.
"Don't blame him! You know he's a good person," Levy scolded.
"I'm sorry Shorty. Want me to tell you romantic things too?" he growled irritably.
Levy slapped him with her purse, right in the face, which didn't surprise anyone. Everyone knew the dynamics of that unconventional couple.
"Idiot!" she said turning away from him.
At a nearby table Lucy and Natsu were sitting arguing. The blonde looked like she had the devil in her body for some reason.
"I'm sorry Luce, but I didn't do anything wrong," whimpered the fire mage.
"Don't you think it's wrong to sleep in my bed, naked!?" Lucy said with her shark teeth. "You break into my house at dawn with no clothes on, saying incoherent things and you want me to forgive you!", she slapped his head, completely annoyed.
"But I don't even remember going to your house?", Natsu defended herself tearfully. Damn his way that always made her melt and ease his grip. She could never be mad at him, really.
"W…well, you did and…and it's not right. I don't want it to happen again", she said blushing beside him.
"Can I spend there tonight? You know my head still hurts. I think I'll need your comfortable bed for a good night's sleep", Lucy blushed and was awkwardly looking around. Damn that innocent way of his.
"I… if you behave…", she said and he smiled in his usual way, making her blush some more.
"Idiot," she muttered under her breath.
Just then the guild doors open and a silver haired wizard appears in the doorway. He had an extremely irritated face, looking into the guild's interior as if a predator were scouring the area in search of its prey. He identified her and marched, striding firmly to his target.
"Seriously Gray! Home invasion!" Lyon yelled at his ex-training partners.
"Lyon!?" Gray said in surprise. "What are you talking about?"
"As if you didn't know," the other ice mage yelled. "What's in your head, idiot!"
"Lyon-san! Gray-sama would never do that!", Juvia defended him, indignant with the obviously false accusations (innocent...), that Lyon was accusing her precious lover.
Lyon composed himself, becoming much calmer and more tender when talking to Juvia. He even had a beautiful smile on his face. "I'm sorry for exalting Juvia. But everything I'm said is true. Your boyfriend broke into my house last night, went through my wardrobe, cleaned my pantry and drank all my fine wines. And it would be impolite of me to talk about what happen to the other room."
That would not be possible! Juvia would never believe such an absurdity. Your Gray-sama being a thief. It was ridiculous! "Lyon-san is wrong! You must be confusing Gray-sama with someone else. My dear beloved would never do such a thing", she said looking annoyed at him.
"Well if that's how it is. Gray, isn't this jacket yours by any chance?" Lyon pulled from behind him a white jacket with dark gray accents that he had been wearing the day before before being pulled into the bar by Ryker. "Besides, you're wearing my clothes." When Gray realized everything, the images began to come back to his mind and the pieces began to come together, shaping the puzzle. He moaned loudly.
"Look Lyon, there's an explanation for everything," he said defending himself with his hands raised.
"Gray-sama...", Juvia looked at him with such disappointment that she burst into tears comically, she couldn't have fallen in love with a thief. But she would bring him to the right side of the force, whatever the cost.
"G…Gray-sama, don't worry! J... Juvia will find a way to make you stop with your nights of crime", she said through her tears and with a tearful voice.
"J... Juvia wait! I'm not a criminal!", Gray said desperately trying to console his girlfriend and defend himself against an angry Lyon.
"It was necessary to relieve yourself on my flowers, too!?", Lyon said as he hit the other ice mage. "What got into you!?"
Ryker couldn't even laugh at the sena, he was so sick he could barely lift his head right to see what was going on.
"They couldn't speak lower," he complained.
"Here, drink this", Mira gave her a strong coffee and stood beside her, as did Erza.
"What happened yesterday for him to break into Lyon's house?", the redhead asked looking seriously at Ryker.
He made a face of pain and disgust before thinking for a bit. "I am not sure. I think he wanted to find a secret Lyon plan to take Juvia away from him or something," he said.
"That's romantic, even," Mira said with her smile.
"And because of that he broke into his house," Erza concluded.
"I think we all were," the wizard said.
"What's gotten into you guys!?" Erza said in shock and annoyed, he shrugged and Mira laughed. "Unbelievable…", she disapproved.
Mira looked at her mate in a dejected state, and noticed a purple spot on his neck. "Ryker, what is this?" she said putting a finger on the butch.
"What's what?" he asked.
"You have a dark spot on your neck," she said worriedly.
Erza looked at his neck from her side and noticed more stains. "That side has it too," she said with a finger. "What is that?"
"What do you mean by spots?" he looked worried.
Cana came suddenly and stared at Ryker, then looked at his neck from both sides. "You really do have spots, Ryker," she said nonchalantly.
Erza and Mira looked at her to agree and noticed something strange. They had said she showed up at their party after a while and stayed with them until the end. So, it's possible...?
"Cana, why do you have bite marks all over your body? And why are there spots on your neck, too?" the redhead said with a bit of hate in her voice.
Cana broke out in a cold sweat and looked at herself where she could. "Oops! Not that I really have. I better go," she went off on a tangent, running away from the fury of Erza Scarlet and Mirajane Strauss, leaving it to Ryker. Those two are his friends after all, they'll understand each other.
Erza and Mira stood in front of Ryker, a demonic shadow falling over their faces, a look of anger, hatred and a black aura that could cover the entire continent. Ryker swallowed hard, starting to shiver and break into a cold sweat at their presence.
"In my defense, I mean I was drunk."
