Okay! So it's a little late but- DISCLAMER! I don't own anything -_- Only the plot. So, hope you enjoy some more Laxanaaaa! ~Hana
At noontime Cana was in her usually bar seat, with her cards scattered around on the bar. Mira brought over another one of Cana's 'boyfriends' and she looked at Cana's cards from behind the bar. "So Cana, how would you like to do me a favor?" Mira asked, as sweetly as she could sound. Cana lifter her head from her cards- which she hadn't don't in hours. The only reason Mira ever used that tone was when she either wanted to know some gossip, she wanted someone to do something for her, or if she was with her boyfriend. Cana decided she would ask what Mira wanted.
"That depends Mira. Will there be a reward?" Cana said, as she pointed downward, to her 'boyfriend'.
"You can have as much beer as you want." Mira said.
"I already have as much as I want" Cana said. Which was true- being the heaviest drinker in Fairy Tail, when everyone dropped after a challenge, Cana would finish their drink.
"You can have five free barrels." Mira said, with a bit of desperation in her voice.
Cana smiled mischievously at Mira, and said "Make it ten, and we have a deal." She smiled, and reached her hand out to Mira. Mira immediately took it before Cana had a chance to raise her price. "Now, what exactly is this favor?" Cana said, as she started to put her magic cards back into her blue bag.
"It's something you can do better than anyone in the guild" Mira said, which made Cana interested. "I need you to run the bar while I go on a date." Cana's eyes widened a little. She was never allowed to run the bar alone. She always was behind the bar with Gajeel, or Loke doing bar tricks together, tossing bottles, and giving out drinks on the house.
"Alright sounds great!" Cana said, and she swung herself over the top of the bar, and placed her bag down on the stool behind the bar. She began to reacquaint herself with the placement of each alcohol bottle, so that she could do bar tricks. Once she had them all memorized, she looked back at Mira.
"Now Cana, I know you like to do bar tricks, and throw bottles. But please don't break anything this time. Last time I came back, you and Gajeel smashed four bottles or tequila." Mira said, grabbing her pink purse. "Thanks for covering for me." She smiled at Cana, who was leaning on one arm across the bar, looking as if she had hear that a thousand times. Which was true, Cana was lectured every time, even though she was rather responsible around the alcohol. In truth, it was Gajeel who smashed the bottles one time when Levy and Lucy strutted in the guild hall, right as he was doing a bar routine with Cana. Levy was wearing rather tight pants, and Gajeel couldn't help but take a second glance.
"Have a good time with Freed." Cana said, as she wiped the bar down with her towel. She looked around the bar, and after Mira was far enough down the road, she took a deep breath and yelled. "FREE SHOTS!" at that, the whole guild riled up, and rushed to the bar. In a matter of seconds, Cana grabbed twenty shot glasses, and slid them down the bar in a straight line. She immediately grabbed a light vodka, and poured it into the glasses from above her head. It cascaded down a long stream, and landed in every cup evenly. Not a drop was wasted. Then everyone took a shot, and backed away.
She spun around, and grabbed a heavier vodka, and said "Anyone for a second round?" They all cheered, and she did the same as before, and poured the clear liquid into each glass. After about an hour or two, people were ordering more drinks, and Cana was having a lot of fun in Mira's shoes. Cana could run the bar however she wanted for a few hours before Mira came back. Eventually everyone in the guild was pretty tipsy, as well as Cana.
Then Cana asked "Does anyone want to challenge the bartender?" Cana pointed to herself "Whoever wins gets a shot of-" Cana pointed up to a tequila locked behind a glass case atop of the bar. "Sierra Silver Tequila!"In any other circumstance Cana would have known this was a dangerous bet. Sierra Silver Tequila was the strongest alcohol the guild had- and they only had one bottle, because it was so rarely drunk. It could make anyone lose consciousness after a single shot, so Mira had to lock it away.
Everyone being smashed out of their minds, all challenged Cana at once. After the 18th person, Cana was starting to feel a slight buzz, while the other 18 were all drinking water to try to calm their pounding headaches. After the 20th challenger dropped, Cana swung herself over the bar again, and grabbed the bar stool. She stood on it, and unlocked it with the spare key Mira keeps under the ice bucket. She grabbed a shot glass, a poured herself a shot. She stood on the bar stool yet again to lock it. Once she made sure it was all locked, she picked up the glass. Bottoms up. She thought. After she knocked her head back, the doors swung open, and a Laxus-like figure walked into the guild.
Cana looked at Laxus, as he reached the bar. She smiled and whispered "Laxxxxxxxxxus!" She reached out her hand, and it accidentally knocked over a bottle. "Damn! I thought I put that back." Cana said, as she bent down.
"It's alright Cana, I'll get it." He said, as he walked through the bar entrance.
"Whatever." Cana stood up. "Do you want anything, a shot, or a drink or-" Just then, Cana lost her vision for a moment. She was falling towards the broken glass, and probably would have gotten cut pretty bad if Laxus had not caught her. Laxus picked her up princess style, and started walking out of the guild hall, just as Mira and Freed strode in.
Mira looked around the guild hall at all the wizards trying to avoid a hangover, and sighed. "Ahh, Cana. What will we do with you?" She smiled, and moved a few strands of Cana's hair from her face. "Will you take her back to your room, while I make my hangover remedy for these 'unlucky challengers'? Mira said, pointing around the guild hall. Laxus merely nodded, and started down the road for the Fairy Tail Apartments. Mira grabbed Cana's blue bag off the chair, and threw it at Laxus, who caught it with the hand under Cana's knees. "You'll need this" Mira said. Laxus nodded, and walk out the door. Mira walked back to the bar, and then she turned around to looked at Freed, and wiggled her finger, becoming him to follow.
As Laxus started walking up the streets to the apartments, he felt Cana wiggle in his arms. He looked down, and she was staring directly at him, with her arms crossed- pouting. He couldn't help but laugh. "What's that look for?" he asked.
"I can walk on my own- thank you." Cana slurred.
Avoiding her request, Laxus tightened his hold around her stomach, and he asked "What did you have to drink that made you do tipsy? I've never seen you crash, just how many challengers did you have tonight?"
Cana thought for a minute, and replied "Around 160 shots, and a shot of Sierra Silver Tequila!" Cana shouted, raising her arms into the air. Laxus knew no one could drink that without passing out. Though Cana being the heaviest drinker, it was no surprise to him that she only blacked out for a moment. "Where are we going Laxus?" Cana said, looking at him.
"Were going back to me room, so you can sleep." Laxus said which clearly unpleased Cana, for she was pouting again, which caused Laxus to laugh. Once he arrived at the door, Laxus opened it, and plopped Cana down on the bed. She sat up, and looked at Laxus, who was taking off his shirt. "I'm going to change my shirt so I don't smell like beer all day." Laxus turned around, to his dresser to grab a shirt, and when he turned back to Cana, she was gone. "Cana?" Laxus said, although he already had an idea of where she was. He opened the door that lead to his bathroom, which had a gold hot tub in it. Not to his surprise, Cana was sitting in it, picking up the controller for the water. He sighed, and said "Cana, you're going to get your clothes wet."
Cana pushed the 'on' button, and looked at him, and said "You're such a worrywart! Geez, gimme' a break once and a while." With that, she stood up, and took off her pants- throwing them across the floor, and placed her blue bag on the rum of the tub. Now she was just in her favorite bikini top, and bottoms. She sat back down, as the water started to reach her ankles. She put her hair up, in a loose messy bun, and grabbed the remote control next to the tub. To her surprise, the wall opened, and revealed a large movie lacrima screen. The water reached her waist, and she looked at Laxus. "Are you just going to stand there?" She said.
"I don't want you to fall in" He said. Which was true, although he admired Cana's ability to hold her liquor, he wasn't too sure about the Sierra Silver Tequila that she drank.
"I'll be fine!" She pointed to the door. "So, shoo!" She flicked on the water jets, as the water finally rested around her shoulders. Laxus looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and walked back into his bedroom.
Cana wasn't very satisfied with any of the things on the movie lacrima, so she figured she would study her cards. She began going through all of them, until one fell into the tub. Damn it! These things don't respond as quickly in the water. Just then, Cana lifted the card out of the water, and flipped it over- reveling a water wizard. Juvia, what do you know. Makes sense it would be in the water. Cana laughed at her own stupid joke. Although it had only been a little while, Cana had had enough of the hot tub. She climbed out, and grabbed a towel with a personalized gold 'L' on the bottom. She wrapped it around her waist, and walked out of the bathroom.
She looked around, but she couldn't see Laxus. He was leaning against the wall, in the shadow, waiting for her to come out. Cana however, didn't notice him. Now's my chance! Cana let her curiosity get the best of her, and she sprawled out on Laxus' bed. I was right! That lucky bastard, this must be some sort of fancy Egyptian cotton... so soft. Damn him. Cana couldn't help but fall asleep on his bed. It was the second softest thing she's ever felt in the world. The first being Gildarts' hug- but she would never admit to that. Laxus walked over to her, and smiled before putting a small blanket over her. He walked out of the room, closing the door as quietly as possible.
