YouTube Prompt: Juvia/Gray video to 'Toucha Toucha Me' from Rocky Horror.
It started when Natsu and the others were about fifteen. At the magic council's advice, Master and the older members decided it was best to culture the children by taking them to plays and museums. Most of the trips ended in immediate disaster and the theatre trip to see something called Rocky Horror almost ended the same as, much to their horror, the older male members realised they had taken the children to see a perverted show about a horny transvestite literally mid-way through the musical.
It was too late by then, the children loved it….once they got past their initial horror… which didn't take that long (yes, they were very bad parents), and now it was a tradition for Fairy Tail to dress up and see the musical at least once each time it came in easy travelling distance from Magnolia.
Lucy, who had never been to a show of Rocky Horror, did some research with Levy and after much deliberation, decided it was safer to ask Virgo for a copy of her maid costume in order to dress up as Magenta…..
She did not expect Virgo to come back with a tight, ridiculously short, leather maid dress that squeaked ever so slightly whenever she moved.
"Gihihihihihi," Gajeel sniggered, "you look nuts Bunny Girl."
"Yeah?" Lucy snapped. "Well you look…..surprisingly normal," she finished lamely. Though it was true, Gajeel simply wore his usual outfit plus a leather jacket.
"I'm Eddie," Gajeel said as if it explained everything.
"Lu-Chan!" Levy cried out as she hurried to greet Lucy. Lucy was surprised out the outfit she was wearing. Levy may wear short dresses but she had never worn anything so indecently skimpy before, here stood one of her best friend's in short shorts, a tube top, and gold sparkly top hat. "You look amazing!" Levy trilled. "I see what Natsu meant when he said you'll make a good Magenta."
Natsu said what now?! How would he know that she would make a good…..oh wait, he saw her in that maid costume a couple years ago…
Inwardly Lucy face-palmed as she realised she could have worn that costume instead of this weird leather creation of Virgo's…..that's if she could get it away from Natsu, he was surprisingly clingy to something he would never wear.
"Thank you," Lucy said, "You look amazing too, you're..?"
"Columbia," Levy chirped happily. "I'm always Columbia."
"Hey," Lucy smirked as realisation hit her, "isn't she the one that dates Eddie?"
Gajeel didn't look at all bothered, instead he just jammed a thumb in Jet and Droy's direction. "Why do you think those two morons are dressed like that?" he grunted.
"LEVY-CHAN!" Jet and Droy wailed, unhappy that Levy was currently snuggling into Gajeel's side while admiring the realism of his costume.
Lucy decided as much as she loved Levy, she really didn't want to witness any more of that drama, and quickly moved on and found Juvia sitting by the bar dressed depressingly normal. "Juvia!" she cried out. "You're not dressing up?"
"Huh?" Juvia blinked. "Juvia is dressed up, Love Rival, Juvia is dressed up as Janet."
Lucy took in Juvia's outfit which was a knee length skirt coupled with a sweet, matching, blue jumper, and her hair was put back into the ringlets Juvia hadn't worn in such a long time…..Juvia just looked like Juvia.
"Juvia decided to dress up as Janet because Erza-san told Juvia that Gray-sama will come as Rocky!" Juvia squealed as if that explained it all. "Janet and Rocky end up together and that would mean that Juvia and Gray-sama will end up together!"
Okay, now that explained everything. "Well," Lucy sweat-dropped, "Good luck."
Juvia glowered at her. "I know you Love Rival!" she growled. "You hope to seduce Juvia's Gray-sama in that slutty maid costume!"
"God no!"
Juvia shot Lucy a suspicious look and Lucy was worried that she would be in for another long, totally insane rant, that would end in tears again, when fortune smiled upon her and delivered the distraction of Erza, dressed in her typical intimidatingly gorgeous style (when she chooses to dress up) of red and black lace corset, the tiniest of skirts, fishnet stockings, and stilettos, and Gray who was wearing nothing but a pair of gold spandex boxers.
"Gray-sama!"
"Gah!"
Lucy stepped over Juvia and Gray's weird cuddling/wrestling fest on the floor and greeted Erza warmly before she leaned in and whispered. "Is it okay to leave Gray that underdressed?" she whispered worriedly. "I mean, what if he accidentally takes them off in the middle of the show?"
"I wouldn't worry about that," Erza smiled tightly, "I glued them on him."
"What-?"
"I really don't want to talk about it," Erza interrupted looking rather traumatised, "I've seen far more of Gray up close than I ever want to again."
"Naw, don't be like that Erza," Cana crooned as she wrapped an arm round them both. Lucy couldn't help but notice that Cana's outfit was similar to Erza's only her corset was black and white. "If you can't cope with Gray's penis up close how will you survive when you see your boyfriend's?"
"B-b-boyfriend?" Erza stuttered, her face bright red.
"Ne, Lucy," Cana turned her attention away from Erza, "Great Magenta costume. Only Mirajane, Laki, and Evergreen go as her. Everyone else is either Columbia or Frank N Furter. Speaking of which, don't you think I make an amazing Frank N Furter, better than this blushing maiden over here, right?"
"Erm," Lucy murmured wishing she was anywhere else but here, "Please tell me Master isn't coming as Frank N Furter," she blurted out instead.
"God no!" Cana replied instantly looking disgusted. "After the last time we all signed Laxus' petition against that. He's going as Dr Scott, and thankfully the likes of Macao and Wakaba are going to be Riff Raff."
It was then when Master decided to wheel past them and, proving to be just as childish as all of his other members, he was shouting 'wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!' as he flew by.
They all sweat-dropped.
"Where did he get the wheelchair from?"
"You don't want to know."
Lucy decided she really didn't and changed topics. "Have you seen Natsu and Happy?" she asked.
"Oh," Erza said finally snapping out of her blushing traumatised mode, "Happy won't be coming. He thinks it's too weird and decided to take Romeo, Wendy, Charle, and Lily fishing."
"At night?"
"Probably for the best," Cana said sagely, "Romeo still has nightmares of seeing Macao in fishnets."
Lucy was going to have nightmares of Macao in fishnets. She couldn't get the image out of her mind especially of Macao in his Vulcan form wearing fishnets….okay, now she knows why Natsu thinks she's a great big weirdo. Speaking of which….
"And Natsu?" she pressed.
"On his way now," Cana nodded at the door, "every year," she sighed dreamily, "they look fantastic…..well apart from Elfman."
Lucy turned and her jaw dropped at the sight of Elfman, far too big and bulky, in a corset that barely reached his nipples and his thighs straining against the fishnets, Laxus looked daringly with even a feather boa wrapped round his neck though the expression on his face (as if he had been sucking a lemon) ruined any glamorous affect, Bickslow looked insanely gorgeous in his fishnets and armoured version of a corset, and Freed…..
Well Freed was always a little feminine, but the makeup brought out his beauty perfectly, the red corset and flouncy skirt he had chosen fitted him like a glove, and his hair added to the startlingly beautiful affect.
But for Lucy, it was nothing compared to Natsu who cackled upon entrance and totally exaggerated his walk as he made his way to the guild.
Only Natsu can pull off pink and black lace, fishnets, high heels, and lipstick, and still be beautifully masculine.
"It's not fair," Cana bemoaned. "Is it?"
"No," Erza agreed coldly.
"It should be illegal for men to look better than a woman in a skirt."
Lucy would like to agree but she was too distracted by the beauty that was Natsu's legs in fishnets….
