Pushing The Love

Lucy walked up the grey staircase to reach the orange entrance doors of the Fairy Tail guild, and Cana pushed them opened while standing beside her. The woman with long brown hair decided to go inside the guild first, and none of the guild members who were sitting at tables seemed excited by her presence. Cana had a calm look on her face as she chose to just sit at a table that would be close to the bar, wanting to get her morning mug of alcohol, and she really felt relaxed. After making Lucy feel somewhat better earlier, Cana could probably just wait for the chance to settle her own business.

During the time that Lucy had been taking her hot shower for the purpose of sweating out the alcohol from her hangover, Cana thought about how she would explain to Mirajane about not handling the night shift. It would be very easy for Cana to simply say that she had to take Lucy home for drinking too much, but what about the rest of the night? Cana placed her hands on the table while calmly thinking about what kind of false story would fool Mirajane, and it could not be something that was very simple or extremely elaborate.

Her left hand gently tugged on the red capri pants that she wore, and Cana chose to look straight at the guild's entrance doors. Lucy decided to not walk in yet, since Erza was currently at the request board, and Cana took her mind off of her own dilemma to look at Lucy's body. She imagined Lucy's black shorts and white T-shirt being replaced with the white towel that had been wrapped around her body after taking a shower, and Cana liked how the drops of water slowly fell from Lucy's body as she moved. The steam that had come from the bathroom felt pretty warm, and Cana recalled herself smiling nicely at Lucy when the temperature heightened in her apartment.

The fact that Lucy could walk so calmly to her closet was a nice sight for Cana's violet eyes to see, and she had watched Lucy bend down near her closet to pick out those black shorts. That ended up causing her towel to slightly lower, exposing Lucy's pink areolas, and Cana found herself smirking from how the Celestial Spirit Wizard's nipples seemed to look cute. Recalling the sight of Lucy tuning to face her and have that towel fall to the floor only made Cana giggle as she thought about how Lucy was so embarrassed earlier this morning, but the sound of someone snapping their fingers near Cana made her mind be back in reality.

"Cana, are you listening to me? Hello?" A certain white-haired barmaid asked her with a look of curiosity on her face while leaning back against a nearby table.

Cana simply responded to her in a relaxed tone, thinking everything was okay, "Hi, Mirajane."

After giving her a scolding glare and speaking with disappointment in her voice, Mira asked the card-wielding woman in a stern tone, "Cana, don't be so calm when this happens. Why were you not managing the bar last night?"

Cana explained to Mirajane in a low whisper with a sultry smile on her face, motioning for her to come closer, "After Lucy got too drunk, I took her home. Once we got inside, however, the panties came off."

That last sentence comically made Mira gasp in shock while her face turned cherry red from blushing, and she couldn't believe that Lucy wasn't doing naughty things with Erza. Cana nicely assured Mirajane that she and Lucy did not have sexual intercourse last night, but she enjoyed how Lucy gave her a nice massage while they were both naked. What Cana was saying hadn't been true at all, and Mira enjoyed hearing gossip in the Fairy Tail. Of course, someone only telling her about their experience of late-night fun in bed would be kept confidential to prove that she could be trusted with knowing about it.

Mira got to hear Cana tell her how she decided to strip naked for the purpose of getting a massage on Lucy's bed, and Cana blushed a light shade of pink while saying that her friend's hands were incredibly soft. Cana went on to say that Lucy's hands were on her back, but the woman with tan skin could feel Lucy giving a nice kiss to her rump. Cana had also allegedly turned back around to see Lucy herself getting naked, and the blonde-haired mage had pounced on her like a playful kitty that wanted to play with the girl who loved it.

Cana kept speaking into Mirajane's ears while continuing to blush, even saying that she sunk her body down into the comfy bed while Lucy caressed her large breasts, and the pleasure was supposedly feeling so good to where Cana could hardly even think about her shift at the bar. She let out a nice sigh before telling Mirajane how Lucy pressed down on her, their breasts nearly touching, and Cana giggled as she said that Lucy used her right hand to feel Cana's brown field of hair that was in the area between her legs. Lucy apparently plucked out a long strand of hair, too.

Mira felt herself be more aroused from hearing this gossip, and Cana told her in a sultry manner about how that one hair was blown down into her mouth. She had decided to swallow it while Lucy used her hands to rub her legs and feet, but Cana gave Mirajane a sexy wink by ending the story with how her own sexual urges made her head go up. Lucy had supposedly lowered her head down to where her lips were millimeters away from kissing Cana's, but Lucy teased her by getting off of her and proceeding to just let Cana wrap her legs around her waist. Cana smirked while wondering if she could continue, but Mirajane surprised her by looking incredibly shocked at Lucy.

"When Lucy gets drunk, her niceness turns into naughtiness! She got drunk and pleasured the woman who rarely succumbs to alcohol, and I didn't get any of it on camera for myself! Seeing someone massage Cana in that sexy way... Oh, my!" Mirajane thought to herself in a shocked manner while blushing deep red, putting her hands over her nose to hide the slight amount of blood.

Cana thought to herself as she smugly looked at Mira, enjoying that reaction, "Mira's pretty nice, but her dirty mind would have more enjoyment thinking about what I was only imagining."

Lucy silently thought while walking into the guild with an astounded facial expression, her cocoa brown eyes witnessing what Cana was doing, "I trust her enough to where she won't share our conversation, but Cana is sure in a good mood before even having her first drink of the day."

As Mirajane told Cana that she had to go into the storeroom for alcohol and some time for sweet relief, Lucy started going towards the table where Natsu was sitting with his blue Exceed named Happy. Gray was there, too, and Erza was walking back to the table with a calm facial expression. Lucy decided to pull up a chair and sit down, only to see that she would be sitting directly across from the seat that Erza would be sitting in. Lucy wondered what today's mission would be like, and she hoped to not get scolded for anything.

Erza placed a blue flyer on the table, and Lucy joined her teammates in checking out the job's description. The task would involve getting some items from a cold lake of blue water, and these items were known as Cascade Drops. They were rumored to be delectable items that came from the icy water of the lake near the town, and that nearby town was in the northern part of Fiore. Erza had to glare at Gray and Natsu to keep them from even thinking of fighting over who would land the finishing blow on the bad guys, and Lucy turned around for a split second to quickly smile at Cana. She thought about asking her to come along, even if the environment would be cold.

Lucy felt like it would be good for the team to have more members, as there was strength in numbers, but she simply turned back around to face Erza while also thinking it would be good to get that permission from Natsu or Erza. Both of those mages seemed like they were pretty happy with the job, and Natsu even pulled out a red guidebook that Lucy bought for him from the bookstore in Magnolia. He proceeded to look at the name of the town, and then the fire dragon slayer opened up the guidebook. He turned some pages, and Natsu smiled as he found the town's name with a picture of it.

The group was heading to the town of Kissaski, a snow-covered town that was in the northern part of Fiore, and that place also had a legal guild where wizards could find work. Erza smiled down at the blue skirt of her Heart Kreuz Armor for a moment, feeling like the team could definitely succeed at this job, and the woman who was nicknamed Titania felt glad that she would get to use Water Magic that would be at her disposal because of her Sea Empress Armor. Even if Lucy would pull out the Celestial Spirit Key that summoned Aquarius, Erza started to narrow her brown eyes as she looked up at the other female.

"Hey, Lucy. This time, don't blow the whole mission for the team. What you did yesterday was very cowardly and pathetic." Erza told her in a stern tone as she folded her arms, hoping for no mishaps.

Lucy replied with an offended look on her face, feeling like the blame couldn't entirely be on her, "Erza, you could've formed a strategy instead of rushing in after Natsu and Gray. That guy named Ryōhei only used that Aero Aegis move because you sent twenty swords at him. You actually ruined the mission for us, idiot."

"What the hell did you call me?! Do you mind repeating that to my face?!" Erza exclaimed with an angry glare, before going over to Lucy's side and harshly slamming her palms down on the table.

Erza's loud reaction got the attention of other mages who were in the guildhall, mainly Cana, and the blue-haired woman named Levy McGarden even looked up from a book that she was reading because this seemed more interesting. Cana got up from the table with a concerned look on her face while not wanting Lucy to physically get hurt in that heated argument, but Gray cooled things down while putting his cold hands on Lucy's right shoulder and Erza's left shoulder. He calmly told the girls that they both needed to calm down, and then Gray let out a soft sigh as he looked displeased at how he thought this would eventually happen.

Natsu also thought that Erza and Lucy needed to keep things peaceful for the team to properly handle the mission, but the pink-haired male did have to agree with the fact that all the blame for yesterday's blunder couldn't all be thrown on to Lucy. Team Natsu fought with that other team in the woods as a group, and they lost as a group. Natsu actually recalled how Makarov once told him that yesterday's failure could lead to tomorrow's success, so there was no need for Lucy to feel so down about how yesterday's mission went wrong.

Erza simply warned Lucy to not do anything that would mess up the mission, and the fact that this drama was now public with other guild members watching caused Lucy to just get up from the table. She chose to sit down at the table where Cana had been sitting, even taking her seat, and Erza was so focused on Lucy to where she ignored Cana going behind the bar to get a white bottle of alcohol. It was tall like the ones that had contained cherry-flavored alcohol, and the taste of this drink was one that Cana preferred to enjoy in the morning.

Lucy watched Cana return to the table, and she watched her friend easily open the bottle. Cana took ten large sips of it while liking how this alcohol had the sweet taste of vanilla, and the booze was also pretty cold. That bottle was actually one that Mirajane got from the storeroom earlier today, and the coldness of the drink caused Cana to slightly shiver while she sat down in the chair that was across from Lucy. Cana smiled with delight while putting the bottle down on the table, and then she let out a small hiccup as she noticed Lucy.

"Erza is a pretty tough woman to deal with, but I hope you'll be okay." Cana told Lucy in a calm manner while touching the back of her right hand with her left hand.

Lucy asked her while looking somewhat anxious, hoping this wouldn't be too big of a favor, "If it's not too much trouble, Cana, do you want to join us?"

"Sorry, Lucy. I normally take jobs by myself to keep enough money for rent at Fairy Hills. Plus, I don't like cold weather very much." Cana responded nicely to her, refusing to accompany the team.

Even though Cana declined to be on that job with Lucy, the stellar mage was still glad that she at least asked her about it. Lucy got to overhear Gray and Natsu being told by Erza that the team would be leaving soon to get on the next train heading for Kissaki Town, so that prompted her to get up from the brown wooden chair. She also heard Cana drink more of the alcohol, sounding like she was quickly drinking the rest of the booze while it all went down her throat, and Lucy wished that she could drink in a carefree manner like her friend. That took years of practice, however.

As Lucy noticed the other members of Team Natsu getting up to leave the guildhall, she watched run towards the entrance doors while choosing to run after them. Lucy ran quickly while having a soft smile on her face, having the ambition to let this mission end in success, and she would be happy to at least taste one of those Cascade Drops. That would definitely be a nice part of the reward, and Lucy would be sure to bring some back for Cana. After all, they might go well with the bottle of wine that Lucy planned to buy her later as a thank-you gift.

Lucy was almost out of the guildhall, but then she was surprised at the sight of Erza requipping in front of her to be wearing the Clear Heart Clothing. Lucy tried to run past her, only to get shoulder checked by Erza's left shoulder, and the scarlet-haired mage saw that as a nice bit of payback for how Lucy spoke to her earlier. That shoulder check sent Lucy stumbling to her right, and her right hand ended up tipping over an empty red bottle of booze. Lucy could only look worried while seeing the bottle descend the ground, and hitting the carpet made it produce the sounds of breaking into many pieces.

Lucy walked towards the bottle and bent over, wanting to pick up all the fragments for them to be thrown in the trash, but then she heard the footsteps of Cana running over to the other side of the broken glass. The card-wielding woman gave Lucy a nice smile while not wanting her to get any cuts on her hands, and Cana would gladly get all the glass into the trash. She walked around to Lucy's side and calmly told her to go handle the mission, and Cana soon bent over in front of Lucy. Her rump was in the other girl's face right now, and Lucy felt her heart beat softly while her brown eyes focused on Cana's pants. Lucy thought about taking some time to assist her, but Cana used her rump to gently push Lucy away. That was a signal for Lucy to go catch up with Team Natsu, and she simply walked out the guild with her cheeks warmly blushing pink.

How was Chapter 3? Cana inspired Lucy to find enough courage to talk back to Erza, and she certainly gave Lucy that nice push in the end. Team Natsu is going out on a job, but what will happen when they spend time at the cold lake? Standby for the next update!
