So this is the last of the already-written chapters, thus I can't promise anything in terms of update schedules. There's also no reason whatsoever for the long wait for this update, I simply got too into the game Stardew Valley... fuckin farming games. So addicting. I'm also having trouble with deciding on what exactly to do with the next chapter... Oh well.
Smut. And drinking (possibly underage... I dunno what the Fiore drinking age is. I'm assuming it's 16.) I don't own the characters, blah blah.
Chapter 11 – "Surprisingly No-One New Finds Out… Or Do They? (or, Alcohol Alcohol Alcohol)"
"SHOTS!" Cana sings drunkenly, sliding a filled shot glass in front of everyone at our table. Mirajane pouts, her cheeks rosy from drink already.
"Cana! Shots by themselves are so boring. Let's play a game!" she suggests. Erza slams her now empty tankard on the table and grins vivaciously.
"Yes! A game it shall be!" she announces dramatically. I chuckle at my redhead teammate's dramatic nature, my head swimming deliciously with all the alcohol.
You may be wondering what the occasion is for this guild party. Well, there isn't one. It just kind of happened.
At some point as the afternoon went on, the normal guildhall antics turned into a full on dirnking party. Tables (at least, the ones not overturned) were pushed together and everyone had formed small groups. This particular group was (mostly) the ladies – Erza, Cana, Mirajane, Levy (who was sitting on a drunken Gajeel's lap), Lisanna (who was currently trying to wake up an unconscious Natsu), Juvia (who was trying to wake up an unconscious Gray), Evergreen, and Laki. All of which were at varying stages of drunkenness of course. Loke had even opened his own gate, but had passed out a little while ago after his drinking contest with Gray.
There were other groupings, such as the old men group plus Elfman, Max, and the Male Thunder Legion. I eyed Laxus appreciatively as he clinked his tankard with Elfman's before chugging it. His throat bobbed with each swallow and I hummed. Yummy. I was brought back to reality by Natsu springing to life with a burst of fire breath.
"The fucks you says?" Gajeel slurred, jumping from his seat abruptly despite Levy's protests and flailing, off balance limbs. Natsu blinks at him, chugs the rest of the tankard in front of him and puffs up his chest.
"FIGHT ME GAJEEL!" he screams, using the table as a hurdle to launch himself at the iron dragon, knocking over a couple of empty glasses in his haste. Levy pouts from her new spot on the floor for a moment before climbing back up to her seat. Gray wakes up next and glares at the fight, jumping in himself. Erza studies the brawl, most likely deciding whether she should stop it, join it, or let it happen.
"TRUTH OR DARE, BITCHES!" Cana sings, oblivious to the scuffle that was thankfully moving away from our table. Erza and Mirajane shared evil smirks, and I shudder. I throw back the shot and resist coughing as the liquid fire slides down my throat. Because of course Erza doesn't really care about setting up rules (which is alright because the rules would have been forgotten in the drunken haze anyways), she jumps to her feet and points a finger accusingly at Lisanna.
"LISANNA!" she drunkenly yells, making us all flinch. "TRUTH OR DARE?!"
Everyone sweatdrops. I guess we're starting.
"Um… dare? Maybe?" the youngest Strauss hesitantly answers. Erza's grin turned evil and her eyes flashed, and suddenly, I felt nothing but terror for the poor girl. "Wait! I change my mind! Truth!" she hastily revises. Mirajane's equally evil grin widens.
"Nu-uh-uh! You already picked!" she tuts, wagging her finger. Erza puts her hands on her hips proudly, her rosy cheeks suggesting that the requip mage was definitely intoxicated.
"I dare you to… Act like a cat for the rest of the game!" Erza announces proudly. We all raise our eyebrows and slowly turn to look at Lisanna. With a masterful pokerface, Lisanna looks Erza dead in the eyes and activates her Cat Animal Soul. Erza shrinks, realizing her mistake. The youngest Strauss lets the Cat instincts take over and perches on her chair, licking at her paw daintily and rubbing her cheek after. She then hunches forward and laps at her drink in true cat fashion. Mira starts to giggle madly, and Erza crosses her arms and huffs. Cana hops up next.
"LEVY!" she shouts, startling the drunken bluenette. "TRUTH OR DARE?!"
Levy hesitates and stares at Cana with a calculating gaze for a moment. I could practically hear her brain weighing her options, most likely trying to calculate probabilities. She gnaws at her lip nervously, before tossing her hands up. "Fuck it, I choose truth. I'm afraid of what de…deranged thing Cana will m-make *hic* me do," she slurs. I nod sagely, the action mimicked by the others as well. Cana's grin turns into that of the Cheshire cat.
"Then, Levy… tell us…" She starts, smile widening even more. Levy starts to sweat. "Does Gajeel have piercings on his junk?"
The brawl behind us freezes, Gajeel mid-punch and holding Natsu by his scarf, Gray with his arm around his neck in the beginnings of a full-nelson, and Natsu holding a ball of fire in an out stretched hand. In an extremely rare occurrence, Gajeel's cheeks tinged pink. Everyone stared at Levy in silence. She stood stock still, face bright red. She hesitated until we all lean in closer expectantly.
"Fine!" she squeaked. "Yes! He does."
Natsu and Gray's faces drain of all color and drop into looks of horror before they both lowered their eyes to look straight at Gajeel's crotch.
"STOP LOOKING AT MY DICK YOU FUCKS!" Gajeel roars, his cheeks now bright pink. He finishes his punch, smacking Natsu straight in the face, causing the fight to resume. Juvia glares drunkenly at Gajeel.
"New love rival," she whispers, eyes narrowing at her oldest friend. Lisanna reaches up towards her glass with a paw, then very slowly pushed it to the edge of the table until it fell off. At the confused look from Mira, she held her gaze and licked her paw again, whiskers twitching.
Mira turns to Erza. "She's going to knock everything off the table, you know that, right?" she asks in irritation. Erza just smirks, her red cheeks atone to her level of sobriety.
After a few rounds, with everyone far beyond tipsy and half a dozen of the drink glasses shattered on the floor courtesy of a poker faced Lisanna, the truths and dares had naturally devolved into a bunch of sexual questions. Among the other things learned about each other that were really unneccesary to know, we learned a variety of actually interesting things – Lisanna and Natsu had gotten to second base, Erza and Jellal had gone all the way and were as close to official as they dared (considering he was a fugitive), and Evergreen finally admitted to being with Elfman (even though literally everyone already knew). Said fairy mage had managed to survive Mira's terrifying gaze and creepy smile while answering. Actually, Mira was over the moon. Her ships were sailing.
Cana turned her sharp eyes on me. The guys had paused in their brawl to rejoin the table with smirks as the questions had gone further and further into the realm of innapropriate, especially with every turn taken by Laki. I bet she and Virgo would get along.
"Your turn, Luce! Truth or Dare!" her mischievous voice gives me pause. I gulp. Oh shit. What… Oh no. This round has been nothing but Truths, all of which involved sexual content. If I say truth, I risk her outing me and Laxus. If I pick dare… Well this is Cana. I stare drunkenly at her as I try to ponder my situation.
"Pick, Lucy!" Levy cheers me on, slumping against Juvia to her right, who starts petting her head and making cooing sounds.
"Pretty cat," the rain woman says in a daze. Lisanna shoots her a glare and turns in her seat to face away in offense. Juvia doesn't notice, but Evergreen giggles.
"Fine! Um…" I start hesitantly. My eyes dart around to unfortunately see everyone with similarly evil expressions on their face.
"LUCY I GOT A DARE FOR YOU!" Levy yells. I breathe a sigh of relief. Oh thank god.
"Alright Lev- *hic* -y. Dare me, girl!" I try to put on a bravado but really I'm just thinking about how hungry I am. I wonder if anyone's still sober enough to make food? I want fries.
"I dare youuuuuuuuu….." Levy starts. Her eyes glint and even through my haze I can tell – I fucked up. I forgot how devious my tiny best friend could be. "I dares you to go up to whoever you think ith the hottest person in the *hic* guild, and maaaake out with them for… uh…." She trails off, brow furrowing as she tries to decide a time.
"Three minutes!" Cana calls out. Aw, only three? Wait. Shit.
"Yea! For three minute!" Levy finishes triumphantly, wagging her eyebrows. I grimace – it just looks wrong when she makes that expression. Gajeel, Gray, and Natsu guffaw from their spots.
"Oh man, this is guna be great!" Gray snickers.
"Gihi. You guna do it bunnygirl?" Gajeel smirks.
"Seriously, guys?" I moan, burying my face in my hands, trying to successfully pull off the "oh no this is so embarrassing I've never kissed anyone before" look. Erza, Mirajane, and Lisanna scoot close to me to stare me down expectantly, their grins showing how much they enjoy this. I look around. Obviously I know who I want to go for, but…
Dammit. Okay, just think.
Actually, if I kiss anyone but my sexy secret lover, I'm pretty sure he's going to rip their heads off. I narrow my eyes at Gajeel. And his face drops. That could work in my favor… I mean, I have no desire to kiss him, but seeing him get fried could be entertaining. I wouldn't even have to actually make out with him – pretty sure Laxus would zap him to dust within a second of connecting my lips to his. A sense of supreme power runs through me. He shakes his head in terror. My lips twist into an absolutely evil smirk and Gajeel gets up and takes a step back.
"Oh fuck no, bunnygirl. I really don't want to die!" he grumbles. Gray and Natsu look between him and me, before understanding and terror wash over their faces and they slowly back up. Evergreen starts to laugh uncontrollably and falls backwards off her seat.
"Lucy, you're so devious!" she chortles. Cana catches on and starts laughing as well, realizing that I was just given the power of a kiss of death. Erza and Mirajane look around curiously.
"I don't get it," Mira says sadly. I sigh.
"Fine. Fine." I wave my hand dismissively before giving the three boys a meaningful look. One that means I just let you live, fuckfaces. I Stand up haughtily and put on a brave face. I turn around and march towards Laxus, who was currently telling a story. With the sound of "oooo!"s behind me I stop next to him and put my hands on my hips. He trails off mid sentence and looks at me questioningly. I keep my expression neutral. And then I quickly straddle him in his seat and smash my lips against his.
Catcalls and hollers erupt around the guildhall, but I barely hear them as our lips slide across each other. My tongue snakes out to slide between his lips, coaxing his out to play. He obliges happily. In the back of my mind I can hear the surprised yet appreciative woops from the other men at the table. Despite knowing that it is a terrible idea, I grind my hips downwards and swallow his groan greedily. His hands are running along my back, and one goes to grasp my ass, forcing a surprised moan from my other-wise occupied lips. My fingers thread through his hair and pull him closer to me. The taste of whiskey on his breath, combined with his own unique flavor, makes my head swim even more, and I forget that we're in the guildhall. He nips playfully at my lip and my breath catches, the action sending desire shooting straight to my core. My fingers shoot to the buttons of his shirt and start to undo them before I even realize what I'm doing. I only get one undone, however, before Laxus' large hands cover my own to halt me. The unusual (for us, that is) action brings me back to my sense long enough to pull back, panting shamelessly, his own breathing not much better. I release a barely audible whimper at the sight of his mussed hair and sexy, dazed face. His eyes smolder intensely and in all honesty I'm reaching the point where I don't even care if were in the guild hall because I want him now.
"Damn Luce! You even went a few seconds over!" Cana calls out cheerfully, reminding me why exactly I'm making out with my secret lover in full view of everyone. I blink rapidly and fall sideways off his lap with a squeak of embarrassment, wobbling unsteadily as my head spins from the drink. Laxus reaches out to grab my arm and steady me, still looking at me in confusion.
"IT WAS A DARE!" I shriek. His mouth turns up into a disbelieving grin and he runs his hand over his face. I let myself wink at him before scurrying back to the table, only half-pretending to be mortified. I return to cheers from my friends, including the three boys, who probably are just thankful they lived through it. Mira eyes me as I sit down.
"Goodness Lucy. That was… some show," she allows, squinting at me. I sneak a glance at Erza and mentally sigh in relief at the sight of her completely unbothered, non-suspicious expression. Actually, she was just watching Lisanna knock over another glass. Cana, believe it or not, comes to my rescue and shoves a shot in Mira's hand first before sliding them down to everyone else.
"Let's take a shot to that!"
The game only goes on for two more rounds before everyone is either passed out or on their way. I manage to keep myself just on the edge of "too drunk", and stumble around. I lock eyes with Laxus and give a slight nod before stumbling towards the door. Luckily, the few people still awake were either trustworthy or wrapped up in something. Evergreen and Elfman were making out in a corner, Cana was doing a body shot off of Bickslow, and Erza was arm-wrestling Gajeel and Natsu at the same time (and winning). Lisanna had decided to fully commit to her role (or was maybe too drunk to stop) and was chasing a red dot coming from a magic laser pen in an inebriated Levy's hand. Once outside, I take a deep breath of the cool, crisp night air, feeling my brain clear just a little bit. I stumble towards the alley on the side of the building, hearing the doors open behind me and a familiar presence following me.
I had barely made it ten feet down the alley before he spun me around and pinned me to the wall, caging me in his arms. I looked into his hazy eyes drunkenly and pulled his face to mine, relishing the feeling of his stubble against my palms. He hitched one of my legs up around his waist and I moaned into his mouth. The warmth of the alcohol combines deliciously with the searing heat he skillfully ignites within my belly. He nips his way down to my neck, sucking at the flesh and pressing his jeans-covered bulge against me enticingly.
"I want you so bad," I whimper, my hands struggling with this pants zipper. He moves his skilled fingers beneath my skirt to rub my covered core, groaning into my neck at the wetness he finds. He snakes his finger into my panties and swirls them around my entrance, dipping inside just enough to make me pant. With a whine I manage to pull down his zipper, easing his pants and boxers down just enough to free his hard member. I stroke it with a sense of wonder. I can never tire of this feeling – like silk covered steel. His hand desperately searches his pocket until he pulls out a condom, ripping it open hastily and rolling it down his shaft. Growling, he lifts me up abruptly, my legs hooking around his waist. I pull my panties to the side and he slides right in. He stills, and I can feel his manhood throb from its place deep inside of me. His arms hook under my knees, spreading me wider for him and putting me completely at his mercy. He slowly pumps himself in and out, excruciatingly slow. Wiggling desperately, I grip his shoulders tightly and try to gain enough leverage to bounce myself. He breathes a laugh.
"You have no idea how badly I wanted to fuck you in front of everyone, Blondie," he groans against my neck, keeping his maddeningly slow pace. "I wanted to spread you out on the table and pound into your sweet pussy," he continues, rotating his hips so I can feel everything. "I wanted to show them all that you were mine. That I was the only man allowed to touch you in these places," To demonstrate he bends one arm to roughly thumb at my nipple from over my shirt. His lips nibble on my ear and keeps whispering these deliciously filthy things. I moan unashamedly.
"Yea… Moan for me baby… You like when I fuck your hot little cunt with my cock, don't you?" he growls, thrusting quicker and harder. I let out a keening sound at the feeling. The knob of his cock rubs perfectly against that amazing spot inside of me with each thrust, and my walls quiver around him. I don't even care that we're having sex in public and almost fully clothed – it feels so good…
"Yes, baby… I love it when you slam your delicious cock inside of me…" I moan, and he shudders before thrusting faster. "Don't stop baby… You feel so fucking good…" I gasp out, moving to suckle on his neck in an effort to keep quiet. His hsoulders flex with each pump of his hips, the coil deep in my belly winding tighter and tighter under his masterful manipulations. "Oh fuck! Make me cum, baby…"
His hips slam against me, each thrust sending me closer and closer to the edge. "Ngh… Take it you… naughty little slut…" he grunts, pounding even harder. I moan wantonly. "Are you my… fuck… little whore?" I nod frantically.
"I'm your little whore, baby! F-fuck me harder! Fuck me like a naughty little slut!" I gasp desperately, throwing my body into each thrust as much as I can. Laxus twists his hips in just the right way and I muffle my scream against his shoulder as my world explodes in pleasure and ecstasy. My release drips down his length and he groans, long and low, his member pulsing. His hips stutter their way through out orgasms, slowing as we return to earth. His hair is spiked with sweat and we pant against each other.
"God you're so fucking sexy, Lucy," he groans, nuzzling my neck appreciatively. I laugh breathlessly, but I can't seem to make my mouth work enough to respond. When he pulls his softening rod out, I whimper at the empty feeling left behind, the sound making him shudder and grip me tighter. "Don't make that sound unless you want me to fuck you all night, Blondie," his dark voice sends shivers up my spine and I open my eyes to lock onto his stormy gaze. We disconnect for a few moments, just long enough for me to shift my panties back into place and for him to toss the used condom and tuck himself back into his pants. Strong fingers stroke my face softly, and we lean against the wall to slowly run our hands along each other's figures. A combination of exhaustion and inebriation makes itself known to both of us. My eyelids droop dangerously, and I fall forward to lean against his chest. My newfound pillow rumbles with a low sound of amusement, and his arms wrap around me. "I'll get us to your place. Sound good?" he mumbles sleepily. I nod, and lightning strikes us, sending our bodies hurtling into the the sky.
We land in front of my building, and he pulls me up into my arms. With some maneuvering, he gets ahold of my apartment key and lets us in. His boots thud against my floor until he collapses on my bed, curling around me. My consciousness ebbs, and I barely register his sleepy undressing of both me and himself. Warmth surrounds me in a cocoon as his bare chest presses against my back and our unclothed legs tangle. His arms pull me closer and he nuzzles against my hair.
"Mmmm… I love you…" he murmers happily. I grin.
"Love ya too… Sparky…" I trail off and sleep overtakes us.
Oh hey, Lucy finally confronted her kink that was brought up back in chapter two. See? I'm capable of continuity. Soon I'll bring up Laxus' secret kink that was vaguely hinted at (not the actual kink, it was hinted at that he has one he's not fully comfortable with accepting). Oh boy character development.
Now I just have to figure which of the three scenarios that are running through my head that I should go with on the next chapter. Which will also be the chapter in which the relationship is exposed to everyone. Now to decide just how to do it... Too many plot bunnies...
