Originally, Dance and Skull was supposed to focus on Kaleb and Lucy, but I changed the ending of Dance and couldn't decide who it should be. Any who, here's Kaleb's wake up. I'm not writing a Cris one since it pretty much would've been the same as Zen's.

I own nothing.

Her head hurt. She knew if she opened her eyes, they'd hurt. Was it possible for her skull to have shrunk?

Her hair hurt. She wasn't certain how her hair hurt. Or why it hurt. But her hair definitely hurt. And not in a 'this hairdo is too heavy on my head' kind of way. Like a 'each strand is crying out in pain' kind of way. The realization that she was anthropomorphizing her hair made her realize that she was still somewhere between drunk and hungover. Also, thinking the word 'anthropomorphizing' while sorta hungover was rather painful.

She tried to get comfortable, hoping to sleep off more of this migraine before the nausea kicked in, when she realized she wasn't in her pajamas. Levy's annoying, morning person personality woke her up, causing her to stumble out of her room naked enough times that she had learned to wear pajamas. But all she was in was an oversized shirt that was definitely not one of the ones she'd stolen from Laxus.

She remembered the party. Dancing with Bickslow. Out drinking Bickslow which explained the hangover. Did she finally manage to go home with Bix?

"Bix?" she murmured.

Then she remembered lavender eyes and platinum hair and shot up in the bed.

"Ow. Shouldn't have done that," she moaned, cradling her head.

"Here," a voice said quietly and she saw a glass of water and a hand holding some sort of pain reliever.

"Thank you," she said, trying to stay quiet because her own voice was grating to her hangover.

"Normally, I don't get mistaken for my brothers."

She wanted to glare but knew the movement would hurt too much. "Did we?"

"You were drunk."

"Right. Good. Thank you. Whose shirt is this?"

"Mine. While I don't mind sleeping next to you naked, given that you don't exactly like me, I thought it would be better if you were at least wearing something."

Lucy went to nod only for the subtle movement to make her whimper as she clumsily tried to get up.

"Where are you going?" he asked, standing up to follow her.

"To sleep in Bix's room."

Kaleb caught her when she stumbled again. "He didn't come home alone. Come back to sleep. I promise I won't bite unless asked." She sighed and let him guide her back to the bed since her still drunk mind was unable to come up with a valid alternative. "I'm surprised. You said you wanted to climb me like a tree."

"I've said you're an asshole. Not that you're ugly." She snuggled onto her side and Kaleb was careful not to touch her. "You're like ridiculous. It's not fair that you have brains and beauty." Her voice was slurring as she fell back asleep.

"Do you still think I'm an asshole?"

"An asshole with a few redeemable qualities."

He chuckled once he knew she was asleep. "You've got an impressive amount of brains and beauty, too."
