They had to hand it to Cana, they really did.
The card mage took one look at them on that celebratory night and insisted they have at least one drink. She tilted her head in the low light, snickered at a joke she somehow heard from across the buzzing guild hall, and nodded her head once before listing off two drink orders to Mirajane that even the sensitive slayer and ultimate lightweight would be able to handle and enjoy.
Cana was at least thoughtful enough to deliver Levy's in a cup. At least that's what the script mage thought as she peered down at the liquid. Small amount, but she honestly had no clue what it would taste like or if it really wasn't all that strong.
She looked up at the hunched figure across from her, crinkling her nose as she watched Gajeel inspect his own mug. "Well, what do you think?"
"Too soon to tell."
"Sh-should we go through with it? I mean, if after one sip we know we've been had, we can just ditch it for something safer."
Gajeel narrowed his eyes into the burgundy colored liquid, even his senses couldn't pick up on anything specific. Other than it had been mixed with several different flavors. "If mine turns out to be something strong enough to even bring Alberona down, hunt down Lil' as fast as you can."
"Deal. I'd say something similar, but I only think Luce or anyone else would just laugh it off."
Gajeel snorted, "I don't think it'd take a lot to lug you outta here and back to Fairy Hills."
Her cheeks warmed and she hadn't even taken one lick of alcohol, it was…nice to know he had her back- even if it meant she'd be drunk at the time. Levy nodded her head and looped her fingers around the smooth handle, tentatively cradling the bottom side with her other hand. "O-On three?"
Gajeel nodded and sloppily clunked his mug against the side of her cup, smirking devilishly. "3."
#30; drinking, alone or with each other

A/N: It's canonically shown that Gajeel drinks (with screws in the glass, whatta dork), but I don't think he drinks too often. And especially not anything Cana gives him because that is asking for trouble. Alcohol and dragon senses wouldn't mix all too well if the person wasn't careful, as well.
