Lucy groaned as light wormed its way past her eyelids. The heat of the summer sun already turning the thin top sheet into a furnace. Curly way from the sun, Lucy hit something solid and frowned. She knew she wasn't close enough to the window for her to have actually hit the wall. Sighing, she brought her hand up and traced the wall. It had delicious abs and she wondered if she and Natsu had had drunk sex again before dismissing the thought. He's with Lisanna or Juvia or Gray now, she thought to herself. Who Natsu was actually dating was still a mystery to the guild. The more she felt the abs though, the more she realized this set of abdominals was less defined and the torso they were attached to was longer and leaner. Snapping her eyes open, despite the pain from her hangover, she gazed as the disoriented mage in her bed.

Bickslow…

Bickslow was having a wonderful dream about tanning on the beach when he felt a hand caress his stomach. It kept happening and slowly pulled him from his wonderful dream and into the reality of the hangover he knew he was facing. Mentally sighing, he tried to take in the situation without opening his eyes. One) the bed was a lot smaller than his. Two) the hands caressing him were definitely female so he hadn't gotten drunk enough to sleep with Freed again. Three) there was hair in his mouth that definitely did not belong to him. Deciding to get it over with, he slowly opened his eyes to see who the lucky girl was that he took home last night. He just prayed it wasn't Mira.

Their eyes met and Lucy's eyes widened comically while Bickslow slowly let out a mental sigh. Just the cheerleader. He wasn't going to die today. Lucy on the other hand was trying to figure out how the Seith Mage got into her bed. She was confused and hungover and couldn't comprehend why he wasn't freaking out like she was. Then again, being the hot blooded male that he was, he was probably congratulating himself on getting to sleep with her. It was no secret he found her attractive. While it was flattering, Lucy had never had any plans to actually pursue the matter. And now she had and she couldn't even remember if it was good or bad sex.

It seemed that she was channeling Natsu that morning as those thoughts escaped her moth before she could even process that she was talking.

"Did I enjoy it?"

The mortification that spread across Lucy's face was too much and Bickslow started laughing. Of course, the full on joyous noise caused both their heads to pound in protest and he quickly stopped. Deciding to screw modesty, Lucy raised herself up and closed the blinds, secretly humiliated that she hadn't done so last night. Anyone could have seen them going at it!

Bickslow admired the blond as she leaned over him, breasts grazing his side, and all he wanted to do was flip her on her back and show her how much she enjoyed last night. But they both needed tons of water, a shower and an aspirin before any repeat acrobatics could take place.

"Well if what I remember is true then yes, you did. But to be honest, I can't really remember much of anything last night. Can you?"

As Lucy slowly lowered herself back down on the bed facing Bickslow she shook her head. The two rolled onto their backs and, as if their minds were working as one, started to tell each other the story of last night...

Lucy loved when the guild had visitors. Ever since the war had ended and the reconstructions and mourning had come to a close, the guild had at least three members of other guilds coming by at any given week. The same could be said for Fairy Tail visiting her sister guilds.

This particular Friday night, it seemed that Quatro Cerebus, Sabertooth and Crime Sorciere were in attendance. Macbeth had joined Jellal as the latter wanted to see Erza but was too shy to outright do so. Macbeth had had to drag his moping ass through the doors and into Erza's arms before sitting himself down at the bar and striking up conversation with Freed, Mira and Cana.

Sting had been the next to arrive and quickly went to Wendy's side. Since the two had started their weird form of dating, he could be expected in the guild anywhere from once a week to a week at a time. Wendy was always scolding him about skimping on his Guild Master duties, but he would brush off her concern and claim he was learning from Makarov, who was still Master and kicking despite losing a leg in the Final Battle.

Lastly, Bacchus had strolled through the doors and into Cana's arms, much to Gildart's dismay. The two had been casually seeing each other since the year Fairy Tail had disbanded. It had become official just after the war and had gotten pretty serious since then. Gildarts knew Bacchus would take care of his daughter but he also knew how much of a pervert the man was and that didn't sit well with him at all. Especially because he was just as perverted as Gildarts and the two had spent some quality time perving on women before the Tenrou debacle.

Lucy had decided to help Mira at the bar that night. With the visitors on top of the influx of members and Kinana on her honeymoon, she was just shorted handed that night. Soon the younger members left to get ready for jobs, the older members left to go to bed as they were no longer able to keep up with the drinking, and only a handful remained behind. Mira was about to lock up and kick everyone out when Cana called a halt. A drinking game was proposed and Bacchus quickly offered to supply everyone with some of his secret stash. That was vetoed before being amended that the loser of the game had to take a shot of it. Seeing where this was going, Erza grabbed Jellal by the hand and yelled goodnight to everyone. They all snickered, knowing what was to come but didn't comment on it, fearing Erza's wrath.

This left herself, Mira, Cana, Juvia, Lisanna, Wendy, Levy, Laxus, Bacchus, Gajeel, Bickslow, Freed, Macbeth, Natsu, Gray and Sting. At first, Sting wanted to take Wendy home but she protested that at almost 17 she was allowed to drink. Sighing in defeat, Sting sat down next to her and vowed to himself that at the first signs of being drunk he would take her home. While 16 seemed like a large group for a drinking game, it made Never Have I Ever that much more interesting. Everything was laid out on the table: Sex, Drugs, Fighting, you name it, it was brought up. The most shocking had been how incestuous the male members of the Thunder God Tribe had been during the disbandment and the war. The three shrugged it off as if it wasn't a thing but the look in Mira's eyes told everyone she would have all the details or there would be pain.

The first person to lose (the one who had done everything from the first round) was surprisingly Freed. The Script Mage blushed lightly before taking the shot and grimacing at the burning aftertaste. The following rounds saw Cana, Laxus, and Bickslow (who lost twice) all take their shots. They all noticed that Lucy had barely put more than five fingers down in each round and soon she was being targeted.

Never have I ever had a crush on Natsu. Never have I ever had sex with Natsu. Never have I ever been called fat by Happy. Never have I ever been partners with Cana. Never have I ever summoned a Celestial Spirit. It went on and on and before she knew it, Lucy had lost three rounds and taken three shots of the vile concoction, before exclaiming that Levy hadn't put many fingers down either. With the attention switched away from her, Lucy tried to sober up a bit but it wasn't long before she was losing another round and taking another shot.

By the time Mira declared herself too tired to keep playing and she was locking up the Guild Hall, it was 1am and Lucy was trashed. The final shot count was Lucy: 4, Bickslow: 5, Levy: 2, Laxus: 2, Cana: 4, Bacchus: 2, Freed: 1. Mira, Gajeel and Macbeth had all come close to drinking but someone else would lose before they had their turn with the shot glass. Lucky Bastards, Lucy's trashed mind thought before running off on another tangent. She wondered if Sting, Wendy, Juvia, Lisanna, Gray and Natsu were holding out on them so they wouldn't have to drink before she staggered into Bickslow's drool worthy body and quickly lost her train of thought.

"And that's where I blacked out," Lucy finished. She turned to Bickslow to find his eyes closed and hoped he hadn't fallen back asleep. Poking his forehead, he cracked an eye open and gazed down at her.

"What?"

"You didn't fall asleep, did you?"

"No, I was thinking. I remember the game and you bumping into me. Then…

Bickslow held out his arm and Lucy giggled as she allowed him to escort her out. As the group finished exiting the guild, they started to break apart to go their separate ways before Cana called another halt. Laxus rolled his eyes before throwing his girlfriend over his shoulder like a caveman and walked off. Mira just giggled and waved. They all knew what he wanted.

"Lets go to the bars! It's only 1, they should still be open for another hour or so."

Wendy looked like she wanted to go but a look at Sting told her that she was already pushing her luck. As the youngest, she expected this and knew she had to pick her battles with her over protective boyfriend. The two said goodnight and Cana wished them fun. Wendy blushed hard and Sting growled at the lush before the pair walked off. In all the commotion, Juvia, Natsu, Gray and Lisanna had disappeared as well. No one knew exactly who was dating who at this point as the four of them were always together and always affectionate with one another. But the guild didn't judge and they just let them be. Levy and Gajeel glanced at one another before wishing the group goodnight and heading off to their house. Cana's not so subtle snickers had Gajeel sending her the finger and Levy smacking the back of his shoulder.

That left Bickslow, Lucy, Cana, Bacchus, Freed and Macbeth to paint the town red. Or whatever color of alcohol they decided to drink. Coming across Cana's main watering hole outside the guild, the group entered to loud music, drunk people dancing, and overworked bartenders trying to dish out shots and mixed drinks as fast as they could. As a VIP, Cana had a table and pulled them all over where the manager had set out all her favorites. The balding man seemed to have a sixth sense for when she was stopping by. As the alcohol continued to flow, Cana declared a game of dares in order.

Body shots came first, with Freed boldly pulling Macbeth toward him and going first. Bickslow soon followed with Lucy who quickly returned the favor. Then Cana decided Bickslow needed to go again and pushed Freed towards him. It was just as sensual as taking the shot off Lucy but Bickslow felt a dark aura coming off of Macbeth and smirked into the Script Mage's neck. Freed smirked back at the Seith Mage before dragging Macbeth onto the dance floor. He knew Freed would be fun tonight but he wasn't at all upset that Macbeth wanted to stake a claim. He knew Freed was a wonderful guy and deserved to be treated as the Prince he was. Bickslow just liked to fool around with him when the pair was drunk.

He heard Lucy giggled before watching as she took a shot off of Cana, her eyes never leaving his. Slowly, the world got a little fuzzier and he felt himself being pulled onto the dance floor, running his hands all over the body of the smaller blond. The smell of her shampoo, strawberries he recognized, was the last thing he remember in the club.

"I'm pretty sure we stayed there until closing and I feel like we did more dares. I think I made out with the bartenders but I can't really remember," Bickslow trailed off.

"At the same time," was all Lucy could say. The wicked smirk he gave her told her it wouldn't have been the first time this had occurred. Sighing, she went on to ask, "Do you remember anything else?" Closing his eyes again, Bickslow nodded and returned back to his memories…

The jingling of keys brought him back to Earth land as he watched Lucy unlock her front door before leading him inside. As soon as her door was closed they were kissing and underdressing. The feel of the soft bed against his back had the world fading away again as he was washed away in pleasure.

The next time the world faded into view, he was looking out the window with Lucy lying on his chest. She was explaining something he wasn't quite sure about but he knew it was interesting to her. He nodded and made non committal sounds of agreement and interest before he flipped her over and proceeded to kiss his way down her body. The sound of her moans were like heaven in his ears as lavished her body with all the pleasure he could bestow upon it. The world faded away again as they changed position and she took the reigns.

"Oh!" Lucy exclaimed suddenly before blushing heavily. Bickslow thought it looked cute on her before he shook his head to rid his thought of such observations. "I remember that, riding you until we came and then I passed out. So I did enjoy it," that last part was nothing more than a whisper but in the quiet room he heard everything and couldn't help but chuckle. Looking down at her he saw her thighs squeezing together and the wicked grin returned to his face.

"So hearing about all our dirty deeds has you turned on?" The tongue came out, tracing its way to her ear before he gently pulled on her earlobe with his teeth. His hands coming to caress her torso, one moving north, the other moving south. Before he could comprehend anything, they were repeating the very actions of Round 3 that neither of them would ever remember.

By the time they came back to the guild, their visitors had left sans Macbeth who was listening with baited breath as Freed talked about something everyone else would have found terribly boring. Cana was moping with a barrel of wine, Laxus was sitting at the bar glaring at all the perving men while Mira served them beer. Levy, Gajeel, Natsu, Gray, Lisanna and Juvia were no where to be seen and Wendy was hugging Carla tightly, who was chastising the girl for being so caught up in a boy. The two tried to walk in without drawing any attention to themselves but they were Fairy Tail mages and nothing any of them ever did was subtle. Lucy tripped over a bench and fell into Bickslow, who toppleed over and landed at Laxus' feet. The hickies that Lucy had expertly hidden behind her hair were bared for all. Laxus and Cana dissolved into full on laughter while the rest of the guild looked on in corfusion.

Blushing, Lucy quickly picked herself up and fixed her hair. Bickslow decided it was quite nice on the floor and proceeded to try to take a nap. Laxus zapped him. That had Bickslow standing up faster than he had ever in his entire life.

"Soooo have a fun night last night," Cana slurred, a sinful smile gracing her face, eyes alight with curiosity and knowledge. Lucy sighed and plopped herself down on a stool next to Cana. Bickslow awkwardly went to the one next to Laxus, who was still laughing at the absurdity of everything. While he never thought Bickslow would be into Blondie, he hoped they actually made a go of it. They were pretty cute together. The moment that thought entered his head he grimaced and order a double whiskey on the rocks. Mira shot him a look but he just shook his head. No way was he telling his girlfriend that her match making tendencies were rubbing off on him.

In the end, the guild found out anyway because the girls liked to talk in their bath and the boys liked to listen from theirs. Cana had immediately dragged Lucy away and seeing the look in her eyes, the rest of the girls had quickly followed. The men had looked around before slowly making their way in that direction. Bickslow wanted to die but Laxus picked him up by the scruff of his shirt and dragged his sorry ass into the bath. The threats and ribbing he got weren't as horrible as he imagined but when all was said and done, the entire guild knew that the two of them were going to be sleeping together on a regular basis.

Thus was the start. An awkward start. A drunken start. But a start none-the-less. In time, their attraction would grow and change, but on Day 1, they had no idea just what was in store for them.
