WARNING: Drunkenness inside!


~AUDACITY~

There's something about her tonight... Something...

Gray continued to watch his woman on the dance floor. After a few drinks and a little talking, Lucy finally agreed to go dancing with him. The club was dark and humid, the lights were too dim to illuminate their faces. The two shamelessly moved together without a care about the invisible eyes on them.

Three years into their relationship, both Lucy and Gray had become quite open about it—though they weren't going public just yet. Gray was still working hard with Fairy Tail; however, he had once or twice mentioned his 'special someone' during interviews. Lucy, on the other hand, had just gotten a major role on broadway and was slowly starting to make a name for herself. She wanted to be someone who would at least be worthy of being his 'girl' before they went public.

The twenty-six-year-old pressed his forehead on hers, hands on her waist as they swayed. Lucy smirked, eyes playful; the alcohol was slowly taking effect on both of them. She moved her hands up his shoulders and pulled him close enough so that her lips ghosted over his.

"Are you happy?" she asked.

"I could be happier," he commented and tried to kiss her. The woman moved her lips away and he tried to catch it as if it were a prize.

Something about her tonight, he thought and felt excitement pumping in his veins. He tried to kiss her again and again.

"You're not worried someone might recognize us? You, at the very least?" she asked. Her usual resistance was gone, thanks to that second bottle.

"No one will recognize us," he convinced her.

"I highly doubt that..."

The girl twirled and Gray caught her just so he could hug her from behind. He buried his face in her hair, the smell of shampoo tickling his nostrils.

"Oh? But we've been here for hours and nobody's approached me yet..." He whispered sensually in her ear and the girl giggled.

She turned to him and pulled his face close to hers. "Privacy isn't as exciting anymore, isn't it...?"

Gray was finally able to plant a short kiss on her pink lips. Lucy pecked him back and soon, the two were conversing with short, sweet kisses.

Tonight, she's got that... The dazed young man could hardly think up of the exact word as Lucy rested her head on his chest, her fingers tangled in his messy black hair. She's got that...!

The blonde broke the embrace and took Gray's hand. She started to lead him past the crowd of unknown people.

"Where are we going?" he asked her, trying to get her to stop. Once or twice they'd bumped on people and thankfully neither of them were recognized.

"It's a secret," she said, smiling. Obviously, Lucy was more than tipsy.

Later, it dawned on the man that she was leading him to the front of the stage where only a few brave beings were. The light was much brighter there and, of course, the attention was a little more focused.

"Hey, hey, we'll be recognized," he warned and tried to stop her halfway up the steps.

"Didn't you say no one will?" She smirked at him as if she were a stranger. Now Gray had seen Lucy get drunk before but not as much as this. She was like a completely different person.

Enjoying every bit of her drunken state as possible, the idol followed her up the stage and tried to act normally.

They started to dance. So far so good; no one's screaming at them yet and no camera was flashing.

Boldness? No, there was a more appropriate word!

Gray was still in the middle of his word search when Lucy pulled him by the collar and kissed him. At first he was taken aback by this gesture, but then he kissed her back.

If only she always had half the audacity she has now. Ah, that's the word...

"How drunk are you?" he asked her when she let go of his lips. The pair turned so that Gray's back was on the crowd; he pressed foreheads with her again.

"Drunk enough not to remember this tomorrow morning and be embarrassed about it," she replied and chuckled.

Gray smiled and Lucy wrapped her arms around his neck. "We'll see about that."

"Happy birthday, Gray-senpai..." she whispered in his ear.

The man tightened his hug and breathed her in deeply. He couldn't ask for anything more.

His day was complete.
