First and for most:
I am SOOO sorry about the update problems :S
My bad, my bad, I know! Been a little busy, as I've told some of you (my faithful readers waiting so long, *sniff* IM SORRY!)
But, im going to try and get the next chapter in here soon, considering this one's just kinda a filler. And a little hang cliff ;) haha.
Oh, and it's late, so expect there to be mistakes in the writing, I'm tired ;)
Thanks for your review!
Please enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own fairy tail. Just the plot : ] that's all mine.
Lucy sighed as she finished cleaning the table. Natsu, that bastard. Forcing her to have people over…
Okay, so, they were her friends… and she did kinda hit his face and make him bleed. But, really. He did deserve it. Really deserved it, actually. He was being such a jerk yesterday.
Throwing down her paper towel and Windex, Lucy sat grumpily in the chair next to her small table that came with her apartment. She covered her face with her hands, dragging them down, frustrated.
Calm down, Lucy. She thought. They're your friends. They're not going to care what your living environment is… right?
It's not like Lucy would know, she's never had friends. Let alone had people over before… Plus, this is her own place. She always had people clean for her. It was always spotless… Well, then again. Her friends wont care. They're from the ghetto. They've lived here from the get-go. Why would they care if her apartment wasn't top condition?
Ding
Crap! No time to figure this out… They're here. Lucy gave a breath in and out, heading towards the door.
Knock-knock-knock-kno-
Lucy sweat dropped. Wonder who THAT is? She opened the door, only to hear the last bit of argument between Gray and Natsu.
"So what?"
"What do you mean 'So what' ? You don't just slam on someone's door when you just rang the door bell!"
…
"I don't see how it matters, she took too long."
Gray glared at Natsu. "I give up. You're an idiot."
Natsu growled "Oh YEAH?" he jumped towards Gray,
Lucy growled, what retards. Fighting over a door. She grabbed Natsu's collar, stopping his attack on Gray. Natsu chocked against the strain on his neck, stopping to turn around on the culprit.
"Lucy! Finally! What were you doing? Taking a shit?" Natsu questioned as he shoved his way in. Lucy's face reddened, and she slammed her fist into the back of Natsu's head.
"No! you idiot! I was there the whole time, you were just impatient and fought with Gray!"
"Impatient! Gray fought with me!"
Lucy groaned. "Does it matter?"
"Ye-" Mira grabbed Natsu's jacket, picked him up, (scarily easy) and throw him across the room towards the couch.
"Lucy, it was nice of you to have us over." Mira smiled kindly.
Everyone froze for a second before Gray, Mira, and Levi walked into the apartment.
Lucy gapped. did that just happen! She stared at the now knocked out Natsu on the floor. …not gonna question it, not gonna question it. She swallowed.
"Uhm, where's Erza?"
Gray frowned. "She's on a mission."
Lucy blinked. Didn't she just get back from a mission? "Does she go on missions alot?"
Gray nodded. "Yeah. She's one of three in our strongest ranks, so... they send her to complete missions alot."
Lucy nodded showing her understanding.
...
silence...
...
"So…" Lucy started. Everyone stared at her expectantly. "What do you wanna… do?"
Everyone in the room exchanged looks… expect Natsu.
"Well," All eyes shifted to Levi. "We could do a little something-something." Lucy froze. Something-something? As in…
"As in?" Gray asked, voicing Lucy's thoughts.
"As in, I say we have a little drinking game" She smirked. Mira smiled. Gray laughed,
"Fine, sounds good. I could finally show Natsu I can out drink him!"
"Can not!" Natsu popped out of nowhere beside Lucy and Gray.
Gray smirked. "So, do you want to, Lucy?"
"What?" She asked, light headed at the sudden suggestion.
"It's your house, do you want to drink?"
Lucy thought for a moment. She's never drank before. Ever. But, if she were to say no… No, she couldn't look like a wimp. Nu-uh.
"Yeah, sure, why not." She laughed nervously.
"OKAY! Now everyone is gonna see me take this bastard" Natsu's finger pointed in front of Gray's face. "DOWN!" He pumped his fist for enthusiasm.
Gray made a noise that sounded like a mixer between a snort and a laugh. "In your dreams slit eyes." Natsu's vain pulsed.
"What was that?"
Lucy face palmed as the boys went on there usual idiot fight of words that they kept using over and over.
"You heard me!"
"No, I don't think I did, cause I think you just said SLIT EYES!"
"Yeah, and?"
"You bastard!"
"You're the bastard!"
"No, You are!"
"No, you are!"
"NO, YOU ARE!"
"NO,Y-"
"SHUT UP!" Lucy roared. Everything went quiet. She sighed. Thank god that was over. "N-"
"So, what was it you wanted to say, Lucy?" Natsu cut her off. Lucy's temper flared.
"I was GOING to say-" Natsu opened his mouth to interrupt again, but Lucy increased the volume and intensity of her voice; "THAT we don't have any alcohol."
Levi smirked, looking over at Mira whom was looking innocent enough. "We have that covered, don't we, Mira?"
Mira pulled two 2'6s of Caption Morgan out of seemingly no where. Lucy's eyes were wide, and her mouth agape.
Did she have some portal in her ass? There was no way those could have bee- Lucy sighed, squeezing the bridge of her nose in an attempt to calm herself.
"Okay. Let's play.
"So," Levi started. "The rules are simple. Everyone has a shot glass in front of them." Lucy looked down at the table. Indeed, they did. "One person will start by saying something they've never done... Like, if I were to say 'I've never punched Gazille.' The people who have done it, in this case; punched Gazille before, they have to take a shot." Natsu smirked. Lucy gave a small smile of confidence. That should be easy for her, she hasn't done much. "Simple, right? Everyone understand?" Everyone nodded.
"Okay." Mira said. "Let's start."
~ 6 rounds later ~
"W-whaat?" Levi slurred. She's had 4 shots now, feeling a having tipsy. She giggled. "You've never done that Lucy?" She giggled more.
"No…" Lucy said, embarrassed. Lucy's only had one, painfully gruesome, shot.
"PSSHT." Natsu snorted obnoxiously. He's had a whole 5 shots, obviously feeling the effects of the alcohol as he staggered on his spot. "You… like everyone's done that!" He slurred trying to maintain eye contact with Lucy while wobbling.
"Shut up, light weight." Gray muttered. He's had 3 shots, barely feeling tipsy.
"Now, Natsu. Not everyone has snuck out before." Mira said calmly. She's has 2 shots, including the one she just had, thanks to Lucy's turn.
"Yeah, sure. Who's turn is it?" Natsu grumbled.
"Mine," Gray said from Lucy's left. "Okay… I've never…" He paused to think. Most of the good ones were taken. "Worn a skirt to school." Lucy cursed, lifting the shot glass to her lips. As did Mira and Levi.
"…Natsu?" Levi questioned, somewhat scared to even ask why he was lifting his glass as well.
"WHAT?" He pointed accusingly to Gray. "This guy dared me back in grade one!" Lucy gave a sigh of relief. At least it was a dare.
Gray snickered. "Yeah, you know you enjoyed it though."
"IT WAS COMFY! TRY IT, YOU'LL SAY THE SAME!" Everyone burst out laughing. Natsu gave a 'humph' of embarrassment before joining the laughter.
- 2 hours later -
Natsu snored on Lucy's bed, obviously comfortable in the plush. Gray stagger, using the wall to keep stable.
"HA!" Gray huffed, "I woooon, stupid bastARDD." He slurred to a unconscious Natsu. Lucy watched, trying to concentrate as the room around her spun in different colours and blurs. She felt amazing. As is nothing mattered. Not her ruined, messy apartment. Not Natsu drooling on her only blanket. Nothing. Everything was happy, great.
"Gray!" Lucy laughed. "H-he can't hear you!" She tried her best, but still slurred her words.
Levi laughed, falling over so that she was lying on her back.
The game ended as soon as Lucy had her 6th shot. They almost finished the two bottles when all three girls called it quits. Natsu and Gray, however kept going. Both challenging each other to another, and another… and another. Until, finally Natsu was out for the count. So much for beating Gray, Natsu. Lucy thought as she walked over to Mira and Gray.
"Soo. What do you guys wanna do now?" She slurred opening, she didn't feel like trying to act normal anymore. Mira smiled kindly. Why didn't she seem drunk? She had at least 8 shots.
"I'm thinking, that Gray, Levi and I are going to walk home. It's already 2 in the morning. It'd be better if we got home soon." Lucy blinked. 2am? Since when?
"We're leaving?" Gray asked from the corner that was now his best friend. "Why?" He whined.
"Aw. I don't wanna go!" Levi cried from under the table. Lucy smiled, happiness blooming in her chest. Her friends liked it so much here, with her, that they didn't want to leave. Lucy suddenly felt very emotional as tears started falling down her face. Mira looked at her in concern.
"You okay Lucy?" Lucy only responded by pulling Mira in a hug.
"I'm great. I'm so glad to have friends like you guys." She sniffed.
Mira smiled at her drunk friend, hugging her back. "We're always going to be your friends, Lucy." Lucy gave her another squeeze before letting go.
Mira gave Lucy another smile before grabbing Levi's hand and made her move to leave, Gray following after her, using the wall the whole way.
The door shut, and Lucy was alone. She smiled to herself and spun on her spot, feeling incredibly light headed and numb. She spun all the way to her bed like a ballerina, finally plopping on her bed. She gave a satisfied sigh as the warmth and comfort of her bed swallowed her up.
Slowly, Lucy began to notice the hot, very hot breath against her neck. She turned her head slowly, her eyes coming in contact with something pink.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Gray, Levi and Mira were slowly making their way home. Levi, draped over Gray's shoulders as she was passed out.
"That was fun." Mira stated, smiling. Gray hummed in response. He was looking down alley ways, eyes alarmed, searching.
Mira sighed. Even when drunk, the idea of being attacked haunted him. "You know. Maybe you should consider getting out of the dangers that is Fairy Tail." Gray's eyes snapped towards her, sharp, accusing. "You'll never be able to rest or relax if you stay in." She said, softly trying not to offend him.
Gray smirked coldly. "Is that why you left?" He asked, giving a small hiccup. But that didn't change the coldness seeping from his words. Mira flinched. He knew very well why she left. Mira glared.
He's drunk, that's it. Just drunk babbling.
"Elfman's worried about you." Gary murmured. Mira physically stiffened. This conversation was taking a turn she didn't want to face. Not yet. "You should really talk to him. He gets all depressed when he hears your name." He said, sounding honestly concerned for the giant white haired man.
"Yes, well. That's not for you to decide." She said stiffly. Gray snorted.
"Right. Nothing is." He mumbled, eyes downcast. Mira wondered what that ment, but decided against asking. "Anyway." Gray's voice took a sharp turn to a more cheerful sounding one. "My house is that way," Gray said as he jerked his thumb to a alley way to the right. He handed Levi to Mira, turning (stumbling) towards the alley. Mira chewed her lip nervously.
"Are you sure your going to be fine on your own?" She called to him, watching his drunken steps.
"Yep! Just fine." Gray called back. Mira sighed. Oh well, she tried. "Bye Mira!" She smiled to herself, watching him disappear into the darkness before walking in the direction of Levi's house.
Gray cursed again as he stumbled into the wall again for the tenth time. He concentrated on his feet.
Left. Check.
Right. Check.
Left. Check.
R-right. Stumble.
"Dammit!" He cursed. Damn feet wont listen to him.
"Well, well." A voice slithered out and echoed in the small alley. Gray jumped, completely oblivious that the person was ever there. "Infamous Gray. what's a Fairy doing out so late?" The person cued to him. Mocking him.
Gray growled. "What do you want?" He slurred a little at the end of his sentence, despite how much he tried not to. He started to feel a cold shiver run up his back, sobering him up. He recognized the feeling.
Fear.
"Drunk, too. Tsk, tsk. What a bad little fairy. Looks like we're gonna have to punish him." The unknown man smirked, men gathering around him. "Can't have a fairy running around just doing what he wants, can we? He's got to have some… discipline."
DUN. DUN. DUNNN!
