Cana stretched her arms high above her head as she woke up with the sun faintly shining through the window. She sat up in bed, and grabbed her head. It was pounding like a herd of elephants. Jesus Christ. What happened? Cana put her feet on the ground, and stood up. She looked around the room. "What?" She realized she was in Laxus' room. She just shrugged it off. She probably just crashed there. Besides, Gildarts would kill anyone who dared touch Cana- even if it was Laxus. Cana put her hand on her waist, to touch her bag, and she realized it wasn't there. She looked around the room, and when it was nowhere to be found she stood in the middle of the room. "What the hell" Cana said. "I guess I'll go see if anyone in Fairy Tail knows where it is.
Cana strode down the road towards the Fairy Tail guild hall. She walked in the door, and everyone seemed revived. She took her usual place at the bar, and Mira hurried over. Mira placed her elbows on the bar, and supported her head with her hands as she leaned over to chat to Cana. "Have you seen my blue bag Mira?" Cana said. She felt a little lost without it. What if something were to happen? She couldn't do anything. She was alright at physical combat, but nothing compared to Natsu and Gray.
Mira looked at Cana confused. "No, Laxus was supposed to carry it back for you." Mira said
"Oh." Cana said. "So he did take me back." That explains it. Cana thought. "I didn't see it in his room" Cana said as Mira handed her a glass of beer.
"In his room huh?" Mira said. "What were you doing in there?" Mira smiled at Cana.
"I have no idea" Cana said, as she took a sip of her beer. She was just toying with Mira. Cana was always entertained by Mira's attempts to gossip. After all part of the fun of the bar, was playing with the bar maid. "I guess I'll go search Laxus' room."Cana said as she chugged her mug, and slammed it down on the table. She got up, just as Juvia strode in, with Gray's arm wrapped around her shoulder. Cana giggled as she saw Gray, and said "Gray." Gray looked over towards her. "Your clothes" She said as she pointed down.
Gray looked down, and he was in his boxers. "SERIOUSLY!" Gray jumped. Juvia giggles, and kissed his cheek- which awarded a large Awww throughout the guild. Mira smiled as she shined some cups.
Gray and Juvia sat down at a booth, as Mira brought over their drinks. Gray and Juvia started playing with the water and ice trying to pass the time. Then Juvia leaned over, and whispered something in Gray's ear that made his mouth drop. "You're kidding" Gray said. He was smiling. "I never thought that would actually happen, I mean Natsu is an idiot. But he had to make a move sometime. Glad he finally did. It was painful to watch." Gray said, laughing at the thought of Natsu confessing to Lucy. And at how nervous he must have been.
"It's true! Juvia heard it!" Juvia giggled. "That's great for Lucy. Juvia can tell they love each other." Juvia looked at Gray. "It's great isn't it Gray?" Gray looked at her. "Love." She said, and pecked him on the lips, awarding another chorus of Awww's throughout the guild.
"Shut up." Gray said.
Cana opened up Gildarts' door, and scoped around the room. She took apart the freshly made bed, and threw the pillows on the ground. She checked in all the bookshelves. She was tearing apart the room, until she searched every nook and cranny. Where else could it be? Cana thought. Oh, didn't Mira say Laxus brought it over for me? I can just ask him. Cana poked her head through the hole in the wall. "Laxus?" She said as she scoped the room. Laxus was nowhere to be found. Cana walked through the hole, and looked around his room. She opened the door that led to the bathroom. On the counter was Cana's blue feather bag. Ah! There it is! Cana said. She ran over, and opened the bag. Good, everything seems to be in order. Cana, happy with her find left for the training grounds.
When Cana arrived at the training grounds, no one was there. Perfect. This will give me enough room to practice without hurting anybody. Cana knew that a certain Lightning Dragon Slayer card acted on its own, and it was out of her control. Cana looked around and made sure that all the training dummies were set up correctly. Cana unzipped her bag. She took out three cards, and began shouting commands.
After training for an hour, Cana sat down in the training field, and took a sip of the beer she had in her bag. She was sweating, and needed to take a break. She layed back in the grass, and stared at the sky. As her breathing began to return to normal, Cana heard rustling in the grass. She looked up, and Bisca was walking up.
"Oh, howdy Cana." Bisca smiled at her as Alzack came up, and wrapped his arm around his girlfriends' waist.
Cana looked down at Bisca's hands, and saw a picnic basket. "Do you guys have plans here?" Cana asked. "I can leave. I was getting tired anyways." Cana said, and started getting up.
"Oh! No honey, you don't have to do that! These are the training grounds after all!" Bisca said. She didn't want to inconvenience Cana.
"It's alright! I was leaving anyways, no worries!" Cana said, as she dusted her pants off. "Have a good date" She winked to Bisca, who blushed, and waved goodbye.
Cana walked back to the Fairy Tail apartments. I guess I'll go shower, and eat dinner. Cana had only been practicing a bit, but she did sleep till about one o'clock in the afternoon, so by now it was getting late. Cana stretched her arms as she found herself at the guild hall. I guess I wasn't paying attention, and walked back here. Well, now's as good a time as any for a drink! Cana sat at her usual seat, and Mira brought her a drink.
"Were you training Cana?" Mira said.
"Yeah, I still can't get this one move down." Cana looked down at her clothes. They had some dirt, and her pants had a rip in them. "Can you tell" Cana laughed at her tattered appearance. Mira smiled at Cana, and leaned over the bar to pull a leaf out of Cana's hair.
"Just try hard, and I'm sure you can do it Cana." Mira smiled. She walked away to get Cana something to eat. Mira came back, and set a plate in front of Cana. "Here Cana. Eat this, and then go out again. I know you can do this!" Mira said. She was always extra supportive toward guild members when they were trying to master something. Cana smiled at Mira, and started to eat. When she was done, she nodded at Mira who smiled back. She got up to leave the guild, waving back at Mira as she exited the doors.
Cana stared up at the sky, the stars came out while she was eating. Walking home under the stars always calmed Cana. Assuming Bisca and Alzack's date went well, I won't want to go to the training grounds and see something I don't want to see. I guess I can use the greens next to the Fairy Tail apartments. Cana thought as she arrived at the enormous front lawn of the apartments. She reached in her bag and pulled out a card with a little Laxus' on it. "Now work with me today. Okay?" Cana said. She exhaled, and lifted her arms into the sky. "LIGHTNING!" Cana screamed. Just then, lightning hit a tree a few feet away from Cana.
Inside Levy was sitting cross legged on the edge of Gajeel's bed. Gajeel was sitting behind her, looking over her shoulder at what she was reading.
"What are you reading shrimp?" Gajeel asked.
"A book" Levy said. She was concentrating on her book so much, that her brain was in overdrive and she had no idea what she was saying. She was just replyingsubconsciously to whatever he was saying.
"I never would have guessed" Gajeel said sarcastically.
"Really?" Levy said in monotone. The monotone didn't bother Gajeel that much. What bothered him was that her attention was on the book, and not him.
"Levy" Gajeel said.
"Hmm" Levy mumbled at him. Gajeel was bored, and wanted to play with Levy, so he picked her up, and placed him in his lap. It didn't even faze her. She kept reading, and Gajeel snuggled into her neck. He played with her hair a bit, twirling it as he inhaled her sweet scent of books, and ink- almost the opposite of his constant smell of metal. Levy finished her book, and shut the cover.
Snapping back into reality, Levy looked up. She blinked a few times, and realized she was in Gajeel's lap. She didn't have to look behind her to know it was Gajeel. She could tell by the way her body fit perfectly into his. Levy was content in his lap, and snuggled into his back. She closed her eyes, and felt Gajeel lightly kissing her neck. He twirled her hair, and her bandana fell out of her hair. Her bangs fell over her eyes and Gajeel grinded his teeth as he took in this beautiful sight. Stay cool Gajeel. Gajeel could hear Lily's voice inside his head. "Shrimp" Gajeel said to Levy, and nudged her a bit with his nose.
"Hmmm.." Levy mumbled back.
"You're not falling asleep on me again are you?" He said.
"No" She said, clearly fighting her drowsiness.
"How about we go to bed?"Gajeel said. "Sounds good." Levy said, and starting falling asleep on him again. "Levy, you can fall asleep all you want on my later" Which was in favor for both parties. Levy loved snuggling to Gajeel almost as much as Levy liked reading. "You should go down to the bathroom and put on your pajamas." He said. Levy made a sort of noise, and dragged herself up. She stood up, as Gajeel pushed her but so she would move. She zipped open her bag, and walked into Gajeel's bathroom. Gajeel took this opportunity to change as well. He took his shirt off, and put on black pajama shorts.
Cana checked her watch. It's already midnight? Everyone must be asleep by now. Cana was still outside practicing. By now, she had shot lighting on target only twice, out of ten times. A little too short of impressive in Cana's mind. She had been his twice, but refused to give up. Once more! I can do this! Cana thought. She mustered all of the magic power she had left, and screamed "LIGHTING!" once more. This time, instead of hitting her target, Cana's lightning show had hit the Fairy Tail apartments, causing a short circuit. All the lights immediately went out. Cana dropped to her knees. She had used all of her magic power on that attack, only to have it miss. She fell forward once more, catching herself with her arm. She was completely drained of energy.
Levy was still changing in the bathroom when the lights went off. "Gajeel?" Levy asked, her voice a bit shaky. "Did you shut the lights off?" She pulled her shorts up, and opened the door. His room was completely dark. "Gajeel?" Levy said. She tried to maneuver around the room. She stubbed her toe on the couch. "OW!" Levy said.
"Levy? Are you alright?" Gajeel said. "Stay where you are, I'll walk over to you." Gajeel said.
"Okay…" Levy said. Unsure of what was going on. "Hurry up please…" Levy said. She was starting to get scared. Left felt a hand on her shoulder, and she jumped.
"It's alright shrimp, it's just me." Gajeel said. Levy sighed loudly, and whipped around, buying her face in his stomach. "Calm down shrimp. Don't start crying on me." Gajeel said. He hated it when Levy cried. He could hear her breath start to hitch, and she was on the verge of tears. "Here, come over here." Gajeel said, as he started walking towards the wall. When his back hit the wall, he slid his back down, and sat on the ground, taking Levy with him. He sat cross legged, with Levy straddling him, with her face in his shoulder. "C'mon Levy." Gajeel said, as he rubbed her back. "Be brave. You are a wizard. You can't be afraid of something like the dark, now can you?" Levy lifter her head from his shoulder, but remained looking down.
"I am brave" She said, her voice still shaky. "And I am a wizard." She wiped her eyes.
"Oh yeah?" Gajeel said, as he smiled"Prove it." Gajeel said.
Levy lifted her head, and looked into his eyes. Although she couldn't see him, he could see her. Levy had a look on her face that excited Gajeel, it was a face mixed with mischievousness, and like she accepted his challenge. Left lifter her hand to his hair, and wrapped her fingers in it. She leaned in, and put her hips on his. Gajeel's eyes winded. Gihee.
