I believe this translates to 3 request prompts. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Drunk Crime Sorciere

Racer and Cobra getting into a compromising situation and the others jumping to conclusions.

Meredy goes on a date with someone and the team follows and Jellal gets overprotective.

I'm just going to go ahead and make one long chapter containing all 3 requests.

Prompt 1: Midnight's Moonshine

Warning: Language, crude humor

3rd person POV

It was a typical afternoon for Crime Sorciere. The team had been hiking for hours and the sun was just beginning to dip below the horizon. Meredy yawned loudly.

"Jellal, can we stop for today? My feet hurt." She complained. The others looked up hopefully, but sighed at Jellal's disapproving look.

"There is still a few more hours of daylight, we should keep going. If we go further today, that means we won't have to go as far tomorrow and we will have more energy for taking out the dark guild." He stated simply.

Racer groaned. "Why do you have to use logic?" He complained. Angel raised an eyebrow.

"What else would he use? He's right though. "She defended Jellal's point and he gave her a grateful look.

Cobra sighed. "Can we just stop complaining and make camp already? Midnight is already asleep on his feet." He stated pointing out. The others paused to glance at their sleeping guildmate. Sure enough, he was trudging forward with this eyes closed.

"Not 'sleep. J'st drr'un'k.." He slurred. Richard frowned.

"You're just what?" He asked worriedly. Cobra glanced at Midnight, and then at the glass bottle in his hand.

"You made moonshine again?" He asked simply. Midnight nodded. Racer rushed over.

"And you didn't share?!" He demanded. Midnight smacked him in the face. "S' loud... Shhhhh..." He handed him the bottle. "Take. Be quiet.." He ordered and Racer was more than happy to oblige.

Jellal sighed. "Well if everyone is getting drunk, we should probably set camp." He stated. Cobra looked at him in shock.

Jellal raised an eyebrow. "What? Do you see in any sense of walking for a few more hours while trying to drag a drunk Midnight and Racer?" he pointed out. Eric smirked. "Fair point."

After quickly setting camp the guild mates settled around the fire. Midnight began passing the moonshine around. "Try it. My special recipe." He slurred. Angel scoffed but was forced to drink it by Richard who declared that it would be "A crime to deny a cook such a simple request!"

He even managed to get Jellal to join in. Within 20 minutes of drinking, the entire guild was drunk off their minds. Midnight's moonshine was known for its potency after all.

"Jelly… Jelly.. JELLLYYYY!" Cobra yelled smacking Jellal on the shoulder.

"What? So annoying." He scoffed in reply, returning Cobra's aggression with a smack on the head.

"Ouch. Gosh. So violent. Anyway. Why haven't you had sex with Erza yet?" He hiccupped out and everyone froze to hear their leader's response.

He was bright red and looked furious. "S'not your business! I just haven't had the time." He slurred. Angel burst out laughing.

"Too busy to have sex with the girl you like?" She teased, not as drunk as the others.

"Bullshit." Midnight stated, and the others nodded. Jellal through a rock at them both.

"Shut up. I'm not the only one. I've gotten further with Erza then Cobra has with Kinana." He stated. Cobra blushed. "That's not true! You haven't kissed Erza either!" He yelled.

"But I almost did." Jellal stated proudly. "Plus, unlike you, a naïve idiot, I'm not a virgin." He stated taking another swig as if he hadn't just stunned his entire guild. He glanced up. They were all looking at him in shock.

"What? I'm 27. I was a dark mage for most of my life. "He pointed out. Cobra nodded.

"Makes sense I guess. "He paused. "Wait. How did you know I was a virgin?"

Jellal smirked. "Well now I do." He stated, and Cobra growled.

"Sadistic ass." He grumbled and Jellal did a little bow in response. "I do try." Cobra threw a stick at him in response.

Prompt 2: Misunderstanding

Warning; suggestive themes, language

Cobra's POV

Sometimes I really hate my guild mates. Especially in situations like this. Jellal just had to put Racer and I together for this mission. Some bullshit about it requiring my heightened senses and his quick reflexes. But what really had me pissed was Racer. The fucking idiot got us into this mess. His stupid curiosity setting off this trap, and now I'm stuck in a situation that even my worst nightmares couldn't have come up with. I preceded to curse out the fucking idiot in my head.

"You're thinking about ways to kill me, aren't you?" A voice above me called out quietly. I refused to open my eyes or respond to the moron.

"Cobra. I'm sorry. It was just too tempting." He whined, and I scoffed, opening my eyes.

"I hate you." I stated.

We had been investigating some ruins where some weird magic had been flaring. We hadn't found a thing and just as we were about to get back to camp, a pedestal with a golden stone came out of the ground. I had seen enough traps to know not to touch it, but this IDIOT, goes right up and picks it up. A cage came up out of the ground, and now, here we are. Stuck in a cage meant for one person, with Racer on top of me and sitting in-between my legs, our faces only a few inches apart.

"I know, I'm an idiot. But we have to find a way to get out." He stated.

"Oh, really genius, you just realized that?" I yelled. I put a hand over his mouth as I heard footsteps approaching. Someone was coming, and I didn't know who yet. Racer quickly understood and shut his mouth.

I glanced up when I heard snickering. Shit. I almost wish it had been a dark guild. Anything but this.

"Having fun, you two?" Angel teased, wiggling her eyebrows.

"Cobra! How could you cheat on Kinana with Racer of all people!?" Meredy demanded, but she looked like she was trying not to laugh.

"Such love!" Richard squealed. Jellal merely raised an eyebrow at the scene.

"I always knew Cobra swung both ways, but I thought his standards were higher, then well, Racer." Midnight stated.

"Hey! I'm a great catch!" Racer defensively yelled, and I would have smacked my face if I could.

"Wait. Are we actually interrupting something?" Angel questioned, beginning to think that this wasn't an accident.

"NO!" I yelled.

"Are you sure? You seem pretty comfortable under him." Meredy teased. I could feel my face burning.

"NO! Now get us out of here!" I yelled. Racer nodded in response.

3rd person POV

After quite the struggle, Racer and Cobra were freed. Right after, Cobra punched Racer, breaking his nose, and then promptly avoided him for a week. This incident became one of the most used ways to tease Cobra and Racer, much to their horror.

Prompt 3: Of family and first dates

Jellal's POV

Meredy was acting weird. She had asked for the day off to 'take care of some personal business', and I had obviously been fine granting her that wish, but she was acting different. She had asked Angel to help her get dressed for one thing, and second, she was skipping around. Granted she is always an upbeat person, humming and just enjoying life, but this was on a different level.

I froze as I noticed her spraying perfume. The dots began to connect. A date. She's going on a date?! With who? Doesn't she realize how dangerous that is? Cobra tapped me on the shoulder.

"You ok Boss? Has she not gone on dates before?" He questioned smirking slightly. I shook my head.

"Never. She's never shown interest in dating someone… Who do you think it could be?" I flinched when I noticed how sharp my voice was. Cobra chuckled.

"No idea. It could be anyone…" He teased. I glared at him, but was soon distracted as Meredy left with a wave.

"We are following her." I declared. Cobra looked up at me in amusement.

Angel spoke up as she approached. "Why? Because it is dangerous for her to be out in the open, or because you want to check out the man that caught her eye?" She questioned.

"Brotherly love and romantic love! Oh, it's that time of the year!" Richard declared, making Racer raise an eyebrow.

"Brotherly? Maybe I guess… Ultear was practically my sister, which would make Meredy my niece...? But I helped raiser her… You know what, the particulars don't matter. I just want to make sure she is safe and that this guy deserves her." I mused out loud, pausing when I noticed that the rest were staring at me. I felt myself blush.

"What?" I asked warily.

"Boss. You're a big softy, you know that?" Racer teased. I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Can we just get going already?"

3rd person POV

Meredy was walking hand and hand with her date, Lyon. They went into a café and unknown to the couple they were followed by Meredy's entire guild.

"Oh. Julia's café. A nice choice." Angel commented. Jellal's eyes narrowed as he observed. Lyon had held the door for Meredy and so far, seemed to be acting like the perfect gentlemen. Meredy had commented after in a playful manner that she was not a fragile thing that needed to be treated in such as way. Lyon laughed it off and had replied with. "But you deserve to be treated as such." Making Meredy giggle and Angel give an approving nod.

"Hmmm…" He mused, still not convinced.

The guild eavesdropped on their entire conversation. The topics ranged from weather, to family, to gossip. Jellal noticed that this Lyon character seemed to honestly want to hear Meredy's opinions.

"He's warming on you, isn't he Boss?" Midnight questioned quietly. Jellal nodded absentmindedly. "It's still too early to tell, but so far…. He's not bad." He agreed begrudgingly, making the others chuckle.

After their meal, the couple took a walk along the shore, holding hands. Crime Sorciere followed. When the date ended, Meredy gave Lyon a chaste kiss on the cheek and thanked him. The man blushed deeply much to her amusement. She was about to turn around to go home when she heard someone clear their throat.

Turing around she saw Jellal much to her horror.

"Jellal? Please don't freak out. I know it's risky to date but Lyon would never give us away!" She began to try and reason with him, only for him to hold up a hand to silence her. He sighed.

"I'm not mad Meredy, and I trust your judgement. That's not why I'm here." He stated calmly. She sighed in relief but then looked confused until Jellal leveled a glare at Lyon. A look that had often been used to keep the members of Crime Sorciere in check, that meant one wrong move and you were screwed. Lyon gulped but met Jellal's look.

"Yes?" He asked nervously, clearing his throat.

"I'll only warn you once. Hurt her, and I will break you. Understood?" Jellal practically growled out. Lyon nodded firmly.

"Yes sir." He replied, making Jellal nod in acceptance.

"Well then. Enjoy." He stated and disappeared into the shadows. Lyon sighed in relief.

"He's intimidating." He whispered, making Meredy laugh.

"Jellal? Nah. He's a marshmallow most of the time." She announced much to Lyon's shock. The rest of Crime Sorciere who were in the bushes and had previously been shocked into silence at their leader's behavior, started to chuckle before following Jellal back to camp, leaving the couple alone.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
