Cana had been going through the liquor cabinet the guild had, it was filled with all sorts of bottled liquor that the guild members had collected from various missions. There were different types of clear vodkas, flavored rums, aged absinthes cluttered around the shelves of the cabinet. Ale and beer were starting to loose their taste and just taste like water, she needed something that had a little more kick to it. She moved a few bottles around with a few cradled in the crook of her arm. Thirty year old spiced rum, no thanks not this time. Apple mango vodka, who the fuck would make such a flavour? Half opened dry red wine, probably sour by this point. Making a face, Cana shuffled a bottle around until a tall brightly pink bottle caught her attention. Plucking it from the back of the shelf, her eyes scanned the label.
'Passion Peach Juice'
"What a juice doing in the liquor cabinet?" she hummed raising an eyebrow.
With a huff, she put in with the stash she had nestled to her chest before grabbing another random bottle and bringing it out to the lobby of the guild. Over the counter, she handed the chosen alcohol to Mira asking if she could make her something with those. Save for the bottle of peach, she turned to the brunette mage who was currently cleaning the counter and handed it to her.
"Here I found a juice, I think you might like it" Cana shrugged as the brunette hesitantly took it from her.
"Oh thank you" Maiden said dipping her head towards the other girl.
While Mira whipped something up for the borderline alcoholic mage, Maiden went around the bar to grab a glass and fill a small cup up with the bright pink juice. Upon taking her first sip, she let out a little moan at the sweet fruity taste of it, her hand coming up to cover her mouth in embarrassment. Mira who was currently shaking up Cana's cocktail looked over the brunette mage sipping down the pink liquid.
"How it is?" Mire asked peering at the juice.
"It's really sweet" Maiden smiled finishing her first glass up before going back out to clean.
The tables and dishes got washed and cleaned before Maiden drank down her second cup of the juice. Then after that, she started to hang up laundry in the backyard except her coordination seemed a bit off since it took a couple times to clip a sheet on the clothesline. After her third cup a ceramic plate got dropped, shattering into several pieces while Maiden tried putting the clean dishes away. Bending down to pick up the larger pieces Maiden's whole vision shifted to the right, her body tilting in that direction like someone had shoved her. Her hand reached out to grab onto the edge of the counter to steady herself with a strained moan.
"You okay Maiden?" Mira asked pressing a hand softly to the other girl's shoulder.
"Oh yes, I just got dizzy" Maiden nodded pressing a hand to her forehead.
"Maybe you should sit down, I'll bring you something to eat" Mira gently pushed Maiden to go sit at one of the guild's tables.
Maiden nodded, her hand finding the bottle of juice and her empty glass to take with her. Her fourth glass was poured while she waited for the dizziness that spun her vision to settle. Mira cleaned up the bottle plate mess, her focus away from the brunette mage that had her forehead flush against the wooden table. The short female hummed to herself with her eyes closed, the whole world was spinning behind her eyes and with her eyes open everything was tilting side to side. Not only that, but her collar was starting to feel suffocating around her neck trapping all her body heat inside.
Levy who wasn't sitting that far looked at the brunette mage with a raised eyebrow. Her small hand reach across the table to touch Maiden's outstretched one lightly.
"Hey Maiden you feeling okay?" Levy asked with her voice laced with concern.
Instead of words, she just got a nod of Maiden's fallen head followed by a muffled groan. The girl lifted her head up again and took a sip of the pink juice from her nearly empty glass. Levy eyed the liquid that Maiden poured and practically chugged back with a rosy blush settling across her cheeks. Curiously, Levy slide down the bench and reached for the bottle loosely cupped in Maiden's hand.
Laxus strolled through the entrance of the guild to the bar where Maiden usually working. Cana tilted her head up in acknowledgment to the lightning wizard who did the same. The white haired mage dumped the last of the broken plate before straightening up to notice Laxus.
"Oh Laxus, would you like a beer?" Mira smiled brightly ready to pull a mug.
"No, I'm actually about to leave on another mission I came to tell Maiden" he shook his head.
"Oh she wasn't feel well so-" Mira was cut off by a shriek.
All eyes went to Levy who came running up to Cana with her face red and puffy with rage. The tall bright pink bottle was held by in the neck in her hand before she shoved it into the brunette's face.
"Did you do this!" Levy shrieked pointing to the table.
"Did I do what? It's juice" Cana made a face recognizing the pink bottle.
"It's passion peach! Don't you know that when passion peach is fermented it becomes alcoholic!" Levy anime cried.
"It can't be that bad, Maiden was saying it was really sweet, how long was it fermented?" Cana shrugged.
The two girls skimmed the bottle label before their jaws fell with shock. Eighty years fermented.
"How much did she drink?" Cana sweat dropped.
Ruckus in the lobby had all four of them turning around to see what was going on. Maiden stood stumbling over to the bar, the glass she was been using was overturned and liquid spilling to the wood floor. Her head was dipped down as she stumbled over her feet before lifting her head, mouth slack with pants.
"It's so hot" she moaned before tripping and crashing to the floor.
Laxus went running over to her side and dropped to his knees to help her up. Maiden was panting heavily with sweat beads rolling down the side of her forehead and her neck gleaming with built up sweat Hair was matted to her forehead and her cheeks while her tongue dryly liked at her lips. A dark blush settled across the tops of her cheeks giving a deep rosy hue to her face. She moaned wiping a hand across her forehead as she opened her eyes to look up at him half lidded. The other girls formed a circle around the fallen girl wearing concerned looks while they looked over her condition.
"Laxus it's so hot" she whimpered.
Her fingers went to fuss with the frogs along the front of her light blue and grey dress. Two managed to get popped open and reveal the white tank top she had on underneath before Laxus snapped into action. The girls screeched telling Maiden not to do that while Laxus threw his trench coat over him making her whimper at the sudden weight.
"So hot" Maiden whimpered underneath the trench coat, weakly trying to push it off.
"Laxus I think you should take her home" Mira advised worried.
"I am so sorry, I had no idea" Cana put her hands together apologetically bowing to Laxus.
Laxus made a face at the tan female, her face flushed with embarrassment while she continuously apologised. Levy was dabbing a cold damp handkerchief across Maiden's sweaty face and neck while the other girl let out what were borderline lewd moans at the cool touch. Mira was behind the bar busy grabbing a glass of water for said mage and was walking back to straw feed it to her.
Maiden drunkenly sat up catching Levy's attention who was looking for something to fan her off with. Pushing the thick material of the trench coat off Maiden mewled at the temperature difference from being under the stuffy incubator. Levy screeched seeing as though Maiden had worked a few more frogs open while she was hidden underneath the coat. The shoulder of her dress lugged off her shoulder and hug nearly halfway down her back while the white tank top she wore underneath drifted up to reveal quite a bit of tummy. Laxus blinked at the screech and was flabbergasted to see Maiden throw her head back and groan while a hand wiped at the sweat across the tops of her breasts.
"Maiden no honey! Cover yourself up" Levy threw the trench coat back onto Maiden.
"I'm taking her home now" Laxus blew off what any of the other girls were saying.
Levy was almost bulldozed over while Laxus roughly picked up the whimpering female laying across the wooden floor. Maiden peered up through her lashes at the blonde male holding her bridal style before whimpering that it was even hotter now. With a hand wrapped around her back he could feel she had soaked through the fabric of her dress entirely. His other hand wrapped around the back of her knees could feel her legs rubbing together fidgeting in his grip. It didn't take more than a second to transport them to the front door of his apartment.
Inside he set her down gently on his bed and removed the trench coat from on top of her. His eyes widened to see all the frogs of her dress had completely come undone to show her little black shorts had ridden up and bundled up at the top of her thighs. Her white tank top pooled at the area just underneath her breasts showing off all of her flat stomach. The cool air of his apartment rolled over her skin making Maiden moan loudly with her eyes closed. A weak hand tugged at the collar of her dress while the other reached for Laxus with a whimper.
"Off please" she panted tugging on the collar as a signal.
Laxus did just that, he gently peeled the sweat soaked dress off of his girlfriend while she contently hummed being freed from it. He dropped the garment into the laundry basket before checking her over again. Her shoes were still on and her skin was thick with sweat, she probably hadn't eaten either and was going to have a bad hangover. Looking out his window, it was hours before sunset but sleeping off the alcohol would probably be the best thing. She didn't make any move while he slide her shoes off and took of her socks to join the dress in the laundry basket. His shirt would soon join them.
"Go to sleep" he mumbled laying next to her. .
His original plan was to leave to go on a mission today and probably not be back for another three weeks, but he couldn't just leave her like this. She was going to wake up with a hangover and he didn't let just anybody into his apartment, so the girls going coming to take care of her was very slim. Also Maiden would be in no condition to make her way to the guild to get back to her room for the girls to take care of her. ANd she would not be able to take care of herself tomorrow. He bite his lip closing his eyes, he would have to push off leaving for another day or two.
"Laxus" the bed next to him moved.
Hands pressed against his chest had him peeking an eye open. An instant blush exploded across his face to see Maiden moving to straddle his waist a dusted look across her face. Somehow, he didn't know how, her tank top had removed itself from her body leaving her in just a bra and shorts. No words were formed among the gibberish Laxus spoke trying to ask what she was doing. She pressed their chests flush together moaning with her face snuggled into his neck.
"You're so cold" she moaned right in his ear.
"Maiden, where is your shirt?" he put a hand over his face blushing.
"It was hot" she whimpered, her hands rubbing up and down his chest.
"Maiden"
"Hm?"
"Please get off"
Maiden groaned lifting her head from his neck to look at him. He blinked with a confused face seeing as how her face held no emotion other than the half lidded expression she wore. But then she dipped down and pressed their lips together with arms snaking around his neck. His hand finding his place on her hips and his eyes closing came to be natural as breathing by this point. What usually didn't come natural was the moan that echoed in the back of Maiden's throat or the light clawing of her nails down the back of his neck. Laxus pulled away with an even deeper flush rising to his face to be eye to eye with the lustful gaze Maiden was staring him down with.
"Maiden you're drunk" Laxus tried to push her off of him.
But turn of events, Maiden grabbed his wrists when he tried to push her off and pressed his palms to her breasts. A noise crossed between a choke and a yelp came out of Laxus at the action as well to the moan that echoed through the room. Laxus yanked his hands from her grip to her hips to steady her while he leaned up about to bark out some lecture at her. But instead he was just meet with hungry lips pressed against his again before he could utter one word. He opened his mouth to speak but her tongue was slipped in between to fight with his. Hands rubbed up and down his chest with nails scratching lightly at the skin.
Laxus's lecture was lost in the wrestle that was their lips only a few syllables and words heard through the mewls and noises of their make out. Normally he would not be against having his girlfriend half naked straddling and grinding against him since he was gone more of the time than they were together so times like this were few; very much in the single digits. But Maiden was drunk and as much as people thought that Laxus was still the monster he used to be, he couldn't take a girl under the influence even if she is his girlfriend. She wasn't giving her full consent and all Maiden's life people had been pushing aside permission to her body for their own pleasure and Laxus wasn't going to be one of those people.
A hand came up in between their mouths cutting off the kissing. The both of them were panting heavily with their bodies heated and riled up. Laxus bite back his bottom lip seeing the disappointment merge on her face from the loss of contact. He sighed putting his hands on her shoulders and pushing her to the side where she had been laying before. A small yelp was heard as she fell face first into the sheets but remained motionless when she landed.
"If you still want to in the morning then we will, but for now go to sleep" he sighed running a hand through his hair.
A hum was heard from the side of him but that side of the bed had no movement. Orange eyes peered over to see Maiden laying stomach side down with her arms tucked under her head for a pillow. Her hair was thrown over her shoulder leaving her back bare for him to scan over. A boyish half smile pulled at Laxus's lips seeing how peaceful she looked dozing off. Twisting his body towards her he pressed his lips in the curve of her back causing a little noise to come from Maiden. His lips traveled up the curve of her back, pressing a kiss to the exposed skin before he came to her shoulder. One last kiss was pressed to the skin of that area before his arms wrapped her up to his chest.
"Hm?" Maiden went to look at her shoulder.
"Close your eyes, go to bed" he used one finger to gently press on her chin so that she was facing away from him.
The next morning, the hangover Maiden woke up with didn't allow her to get out of bed unless it was to throw up or even less have Laxus talk to her without the soundwaves feeling like it would crack open her skull. Needless to say, Maiden was not up for picking up where things left off last night.
