Hey guys, as promised, the third chapter of "What am I going to do?"

I hope you enjoy.

It was dusk in Magnolia as the city glowed with Light Lacrima. Couples, Families and groups of friends filled the bustling streets, attending movies, dining in restaurants and drinking in local taverns. A normal night for the town of Magnolia, and like the rest Magnolia, Fairy Tail continued its normal routine, and what was the routine for one of the most powerful guilds in all of Fiore? That question was already answered as soon as the Iron dragon slayer and the water mage opened the guild doors.

The Guild echoed with cheers of celebration and victory as guild members flooded the floor with drunken laughter and dancing. It hadn't even been 24 hours and Fairy Tail decided to throw another party.

"Fucking typical" Gajeel remarked as both Juvia and him entered the guild.

"Juvia wonders what the occasion is" Juvia pondered as the two evaded a drunken Droy.

"It's Fairy Tail Juv, this Guild would celebrate anything and everything, Look, we've barely been here a minute and we already got a fucking beer in our hands" Gajeel growled as the two lifted their hands to find a mug of ale in it.

"Looks like Juvia will be winning that bet faster than I thought" Juvia giggled while Gajeel smirked.

"You friggin wish Rain woman, this win is mine" Gajeel retorted, the two raising their glasses to their lips, ale slipping rapidly into their mouths, finishing the mugs in mere seconds.

Juvia and Gajeel glared fiercely into each other's eyes with wicked smirks. This wasn't their first drinking match and it won't be their last. Though the two couldn't hold a candle to the resident drinking champion Cana, but they were alcohol guzzling monsters in their own rights.

"Oh yeah, quick rules about the match" Juvia quickly expressed while Gajeel burst into laughter.

"Gii Hii, damn Juv, we should've started sooner, adding rules is so boring" Gajeel faked a strained face while he kept laughing, Juvia slapping his arm in annoyance as he chuckled. Juvia knew better than anyone else how competitive he was and how backhanded his methods were when he was left unrestricted. Her last loss was the result of Gajeel paying gray to distract her by singing on stage.

"Alright, what are the rules, woman?" Gajeel barked with a grin

"No using any outside advantage to distract us from the match, and the last mage standing, wins" Juvia commanded, showing no signs of compromise on the set rules.

"Deal" Gajeel showed his toothy grin as he smiled at Juvia.

"Shall we head to the bar then?" Juvia suggested as she waltzed towards the bar, Gajeel following in tow.

Mira smiled as the two approached the bar, Juvia taking a seat while Gajeel stood by the stool next to her.

"Hey Juvia, Hey Gajeel, you have a fun day at the spa?" Mira questioned while Gajeel pictured himself pushing her white hair into her mouth while he zoned out slightly.

"Why can't she just mind her own business for once…."Gajeel groaned slightly while the two women chatted away, Gajeel managing to tune back in.

"Juvia had a facial, had her nails done and massaged, Juvia has never felt so relaxed in her life" Juvia continued while showing off her nails with a giant smile.

"Even Gajeel had his nails done" Juvia grabbed the man's hands, showing them off to Mira.

"Oi, Cut it out Juvia" Gajeel grunted while the two women laughed, clearly embarrassed about showing off his pristine Manicure.

"It must have been a hassle with Gajeel there" Mira continued.

"Gajeel was just….being Gajeel" Juvia laughed while he nudged her arm.

"I actually had a good time" Gajeel smiled as he sat down.

"You scared the Hostess" Juvia added, causing Mira to bend over the bar in a fit of giggles.

"That's just her own fault, I was minding my own friggin business" Gajeel retorted.

"And you complained about getting a facial" Juvia continued.

"Hey, It looked like a Leprechaun crap" Gajeel argued, earning a giggle from both girls, in his defence, it did look horrid for a product meant to improve a person's appearance.

"Can't friggin believe you girls were so calm with that crap on your face, if felt disgusting" Gajeel muttered while he searched his robes.

"Oh yeah, Mira?" Juvia suddenly spoke up.

"Yes?" Mira responded while the water mage pulled up her shopping bags filled with goodies from the gift shop.

"Can you keep these behind the counter till tomorrow?" juvia replied, handing the contents to the takeover mage

"Sure, I'll be just a sec alright?" Mira bent down and hid the bags under the counter.

"Are you ready to lose that drinking match, Rain woman?" Gajeel grinned while Juvia smiled in turn.

"Juvia is ready to be treated like a lady tomorrow when Juvia wins" Juvia added as Mira's head popped back up from beneath the counter.

"Drinking match?" Mira spoke aloud, earning the attention of a few other mages.

"Yeah" Gajeel added while he reached into his black cloak, a small bag hitting the counter soon after.

"Theres 10,000 jewels, get us 10 bottles of the finest spirits ya got" Gajeel ordered as the pouch hit the bar, suddenly followed by another bag.

"Make it 15" Erza added with a smirk, 2 more bags hit the counter.

"Oh we're so in on this, Make it 25 Mira" Natsu jumped up onto the bar beside his bag of jewels as gray walked behind him "I'm Getting fired up" Natsu roared.

"Calm down ash for brains, we haven't even started yet" Gray added as he stood beside Gajeel.

"Mind if we join?" Gray questioned as attention turned on Gajeel and Juvia, Juvia was uncomfortable in Gray's presence, not only did he approach the woman he rejected earlier; he did so calmly and care free.

Juvia clutched her arms slightly while she gazed back at the ice mage, her mind raced for answers and conclusions for her suddenly awkward situation.

"How can Gray approach Juvia so casually? Why does he have to join Juvia?"The water mage screamed internally while he face held her warm smile, thoughts flashed through her head before resigning to her fate.

Though she wanted to say no, she had to say yes, otherwise, everyone would question why.

"It shouldn't matter, Juvia is over him…., Let him play if he wants…." Juvia concluded with her brief internal struggle, sliding on her brave face before responding.

"Juvia thinks it will be fun" Juvia answered curtly though her smile dropped slightly, her voice producing a small hitch, to which Gajeel picked up on instantly. Gajeel placed an arm around her shoulder as he answered

"Yeah, you three are in" Gajeel grunted as he comforted Juvia, The others exchanged challenging glares while Juvia smiled with appreciation.

Gajeel grinned as he then looked towards Natsu, he still wanted his revenge for mocking him, and low and behold, the perfect opportunity to humiliate him presents itself on a silver platter

"I'm so gonna get you Salamander….gi hi hi hi hi hi…" Gajeel snickered to himself with a wicked smile.

"We need more people" Erza suddenly snapped as she pulled three more mages into the mix.

"Levy, Cana, Freed, Perfect" Erza smiled as the Requip mage gently pushed the three against the counter, chucking another 10,000 amongst the bag of jewels.

Gajeel's eyes instantly fixed themselves on the approaching blue haired mage. "Shrimp's joining in? …Fuck...she looks a little different though….Wait? What's that smell…?"

Gajeel sniffed the air as the three were being pulled towards the bar, Freed and Cana smelled the same, like expensive cologne and booze respectively, but with Levy, her scent was quite different from normal, as if the scent itself was mixed.

"No fucking way….."Gajeel's face slightly contorted from shock to sorrow as he gazed towards the petite mage, he knew something was off the moment he saw her, but her scent, gave him all the answers he wanted to know.

Levy had slept with Jet last night.

Freed smiled as he was pushed towards the bar. "I will be happy to join" the rune mage answered curtly while he slid onto a seat in front of Mira, the two practically stripping each other with their eyes as they sat less than a metre away.

Levy's face paled as she was dragged towards the bar, she didn't want to see Gajeel so soon, she couldn't, guilt started stabbing her chest as she recalled the night before. Half of it was a drunken blur, but the other half? Levy remembered crystal clear; her tongue entwining with Jet's, their moans as she gripped him tighter with every thrust, her soft squeaks as he sucked her nipples and his heavy panting when he came inside.

Those images were engraved into her memory; regret only seemed to seep in after Jet passed out next to her, leaving Levy to her own thoughts before crying herself to sleep.

"I-i-i-i-I don't think I should be drinking tonight…." Levy began as her eyes suddenly locked with Gajeel's, the latter turning his gaze away while the solid script mage blushed in place, though still feeling guilty, a blush couldn't help but crawl on her cheeks in his presence.

Cana soon pulled the petite mage into the seat beside her.

"Nonsense Levy, lighten up, oooohhh I'm Mixing" Cana spoke up as Mira started lining the counter with shot glasses, the rest of the group gulped in dread.

Though most of Fairy Tail could handle their liquor, Cana was a fiend, drinking alcohol as if it was water. For anyone else, her concoctions of delicious yet mind faltering drinks could make some of the country's most powerful mages intoxicated within a few sips.

Bottles of spirits gleamed in the light as Mira stacked them In front of the seven contenders. Tequila, vodka, rum, whiskey, gin, moonshine, schnapps and brandy stood before them as Cana joined Mira behind the bar and started mixing devastating drinks.

"Any of you guys wanna chicken out?" Cana spoke with a big grin as she poured the spirits into the glasses.

"Hell no, I'm taking you all out" Natsu posed as he declared his challenge, the rest glaring back in anticipation. "I"M GETTING FIRED UP!"

"Me neither, I'm in" gray declared as he shook his head at Natsu's dumb-ass display.

"I never back down from a challenge" Erza continued with a smirk, showing absolute confidence.

"How did I get into this… never mind, I'll do my best" Levy muttered, showing reluctance as she looked towards Gajeel, still blushing.

"This should be Easy" Freed spoke towards the group, not remotely shaken by the growing intense atmosphere.

"Juvia's going to win" Juvia added with her usual bright smile, turning to Gajeel as he held up his fist.

"You fuckers are going down GII HII" Gajeel barked, all contenders staring each other down.

Within moments, Cana and Mira had organised 320 shot glasses, all different colors shimmering in the light as Cana jumped across the bar.

"There are 40 each for everyone, you better not bitch out and not finish them, you guys ready?" Cana spoke aloud, gaining the groups attention as the trash talk went to an abrupt halt. Nodding briefly while their eyes flickered back and forth, glaring at each other while smirks spread across their faces.

Gajeel suddenly rose up; all eyes fell on him as he grabbed a shot glass, the rest quickly following in suit while the iron dragon slayer shouted.

"LET'S FUCKING DO THIS" Gajeel growled, the rest of the guild thundered with the roars of the group while shot after shot started sliding down their throats.

Gajeel grinned as he was surrounded by his guild mates, sinking shot after shot as the rest tried to match Cana, Though she was the one to beat, all Gajeel worried about was Juvia, he didn't want to be a butler the next day. Blue eyes returned his gaze as he stared at Juvia, the latter knowing exactly what was on his mind and drank toe to toe with him.

"You can't beat me Juv" gajeel smirked as he took down a 7th shot.

"Gajeel should trash talk when he's drunk more shots than Juvia "Juvia spoke smugly as she sipped down her 9th shot.

"Oi, when the fuck did you get ahead" Gajeel barked as he took down 3 shots simultaneously while the rest of the group laughed.

"Hahahha, you sure got told metal head" Natsu roared as he took down his 10th shot

"Like always Gajeel, you're getting ahead of yourself" Erza glanced and smirked towards Gajeel as she took her 11th shot. Both levy and Gray keeled over onto the bar as they laughed at his expense; the rest chuckled and kept drinking while the iron dragon slayer blew the hair from his face.

"Oh they're so gonna pay for that" Gajeel grinned wickedly as a devious plan came to his head. He loved getting payback, and with a drinking match going on? He knew just how to get it.

"Shut up Titania, bet you n Salamander are gonna be cuddling and laughing your faces off by yer 30th shot" Gajeel barked back, the rest of the group took a shot and laughed while Erza shot back .

"Unlike that burning Dumbass over there, I can actually hold my liquor" Erza replied in a dignified manner, Natsu suddenly staggering upwards.

"Is that so Erza, Let's do this, you and me, you're going down, I'm GETTING FIRED UP!" Natsu's skin started crawling with flames, his body emanating heat so immense, his drinks lit ablaze. The two glared each other down like fierce enemies: Erza radiating a crimson red aura as her drinks began to levitate beside her.

"Hook line n sinker motherfuckers" Gajeel snickered while Natsu and Erza started taking shots down one after the other in rapid succession. Shot after shot flowed between their lips as they desperately drank to surpass the other, by their 30th shot, the two could barely hold themselves up, wrapping an arm around each other's shoulder as they kept drinking.

"Are you doing alright there, Natsu?" Cana questioned while the resident hot head held an even more idiotic grin on his face.

"I'mmm jus doin finnnne Cana hahahha" Natsu laughed his face off as he leant against Erza, taking down another shot.

"You're rambling Natsu…. didn't I…. teach you how to read?" Erza spoke in a drunken daze as she reached for another drink.

"Whut doessss that haff to do wit talkin?" Natsu slurred, the two mages looking into each other's eyes before suddenly bursting into fits of laughter, the group laughing along with them, especially Gajeel.

Juvia's attention turned to Gajeel as she took her next shot, Though everyone else was laughing, Juvia knew his laughter was slightly different than everyone else's, which was only confirmed when the dragon slayer himself, turned towards the water mage with a wicked grin and winked.

Gajeel could practically read her mind as her face lit up with shock and awe, then breaking into a smile as wicked as his.

"Gajeel set them up didn't he?" Juvia questioned as she leaned against the iron mage, who only responded with his trademark chuckle.

"You remember that one Rain woman? GII HII" Gajeel muttered back with an amused tone, the water mage giggled in response as the two downed their next shot.

"That's how we always won our tag-team matches right?" Juvia recalled while Gajeel wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"We kicked a lot of fuckin ass back then" Gajeel grinned as he downed his 37th shot, the comment bringing the card mages attention towards them.

"You two drink together?" Cana slurred as she took a seat right next to Gajeel

"Yeah, Juvia and Gajeel used to be tag-team champions in the bars of Oak Town" Juvia giggled with pride while Gajeel's face was plastered with a cocky grin.

"How long have you two known each other?" Cana slurred as she took another shot

"Me and her have been best friends since phantom, right Juv?" Gajeel replied while he finished his last shot, his body flush as he placed the final glass down on the bar.

"Yeah, Juvia is really close with Gajeel; it's been a few years, right Gajeel?" Juvia smiled as she finished her last shot as well.

"Fuck yeah" Gajeel patted Juvia's head, the water mage nestling into his palm while the rest finished off their drinks.

While the group laughed amongst themselves as they continued drinking, Levy couldn't stop her eyes from gazing towards Gajeel and Juvia. Levy knew that the ex-phantom mages were close friends; Both Gajeel and Levy talked forever when they were together at the guild, or completing a quest.

However, even though the intelligent bookworm knew that, she couldn't help feel a tinge of envy, wishing that the metal head she loved was doing the same thing to her, but with more of a 'romantic' feel to it, Levy continued reminiscing about her time with Gajeel before hearing Natsu's fist slam down onto the bar.

"Hey Tinnn Facccee, wher didja go last night, I was wantin to fight chu" Natsu slurred as he finished his 40th shot.

"I went out" Gajeel muttered out with a tone of annoyance, not wanting to get into much detail.

"Where did you go? I was looking for you last night" Levy asked as she fidgeted in her seat with a small smile and blush, feeling hot as she took down her last shot.

"Mustn't have been looking long shrimp…." Gajeel muttered words colder than the iron he forges, the smile instantly fell from her face.

"What's…that supposed to mean…."Levy thought to herself as she placed her glass down.

"Hey Freed, you've been quiet" Erza spoke up and everyone murmured in agreement, Freed hadn't muttered a single word the entire match.

"Freed?" Gray questioned as he approached the rune mage, placing his hand onto Freed's shoulder only for it to fall straight through.

"What the…. An illusion?" was all gray could manage as the image of Freed shattered into ether and disappeared.

"Where did Freed go?" Levy asked as suddenly both Gajeel and Natsu started snickering.

"What's so funny Gajeel?" Juvia asked as attention fell onto the dragon slayers.

Both Gajeel and Natsu grinned and chucked louder as they pointed to the door behind the bar.

"Ohohohoho" Cana slurred with a sultry tone, quickly catching on to the situation.

"Are they…?" Juvia, Erza and Levy came to the same conclusion as they blushed.

Gray simply chuckled while the dragon slayers were laughing their asses off.

"WE CAN STILL HEAR YOU FREED, MIRA JANE HAHAHAHAHAHA!" both Natsu and Gajeel roared with laughter as cutlery can be heard falling to the floor behind the door followed by panicked murmurings. Freed's magic runes began to form in front the door, only resulting in the slayers laughing even harder with their drunken roars.

"A LITTLE TOO LATE NOW HAHAHAHA….FREED AND MIRA, SITTING IN A TREE….." Gajeel and Natsu continued singing, Gray and Cana now getting involved too.

"K-I-S-S-I-N-G" the four continued, the guild thundered with their laughter

"FIRST COMES LOVE, THEN COMES…."

CRACK

Both Juvia and Erza silenced the four, Juvia smacking both Cana and Gajeel's heads together while Erza punched Natsu and Gray in the face.

"Oi, what the hell rain woman" Gajeel barked, too tipsy to care about the head butt while Cana groaned in pain.

"Why are you complaining, it's like your skull is made of steel" Cana slurred and whined while Natsu and Gray started fighting with Erza.

"Juvia hit you two together because we have a drinking match to continue" Juvia stated matter of factly. Gray's, Natsu's and Erza's attention returning to the bar while Levy shook her head.

"Why did you hit us? "Both Natsu and gray questioned Erza as they looked in her direction.

"Oh… you two?...Yeah…You two were just annoying" Erza stated flatly, glaring at the both of them in a drunken daze.

"Youuu picken a fight Errrzaa?" Natsu slurred as he staggered towards the Requip mage, his fists blazing as he approached the redhead. But like the candles on a birthday cake, Natsu's flames were snuffed out as Erza delivered a savage blow to the dragon slayer's abdomen, resulting in his shrill cry of pain before passing out cold on the floor.

"You're just drunk Natsu… go to sleep… you can't handle your…." Erza uttered as she swayed side to side, suddenly falling down next to him.

"Neither can you Titania, GI HI HIA HA HA HA "Gajeel exclaimed with as he started laughing, soon followed by Juvia as well.

"Three down, five more to go" Cana slurred with her sultry smirk as she pulled the remaining bottles in front of them, the rest of the group laughing at both Erza's and Natsu's expense.

"We got about 13 bottles left, you guys still in this?" Cana stated as she eyed out the other participants.

Both Gajeel and Juvia smirked as they grabbed a bottle of tequila each.

"Theres no way we're fucking out of this..." Gajeel slurred as he grinned wickedly at Cana, immediately screwing the lid off and taking a swig of it.

Juvia giggled as she did the same, pouring the contents between her soft lips as Cana chuckled at the sight.

"Looks like we're gonna have some fun tonight" Cana giggled as Juvia and Gajeel smirked towards her.

"Yeah, Juvia is taking you down Cana" Juvia exclaimed as she jumped up, declaring her drunken warfare as her arm wrapped around Gajeel.

"Not if I take her down first rain woman" Gajeel barked as he wrapped his arm around Juvia, both of them hugging with a bottle in hand, declaring their challenge with as they pointed their tequila towards the card mage.

"ohhh you two are fun, let's do this" Cana exclaimed as she picked up a bottle of tequila, though she was challenged frequently, none of her contests got her as excited as this one, with both the fierce iron dragon slayer and water mage glaring her down, a drunken smirk plastered on her face, she couldn't help but coin the resident hot heads catchphrase for the first time.

"I'm getting fired up" Cana smirked as the three clinked their bottles together.

Attention now fell on Gray and Levy, three pairs of eyes gazing directly at them.

"You two joining us? Gray? Levy?" Juvia slurred and giggled as she questioned the two, Cana placing bottles of spirits within the mages grasp.

"Nah, I'm out, I just wanted to take out ash for brains over there" Gray exclaimed smugly as he gestured towards the passed out Natsu, balancing a shot glass on his ass causing the group to giggle.

"You should stay Gray, otherwise Juvia would miss you" Cana slurred and giggled, making Gray visibly flinch as eyes suddenly flickered between him and the water mage.

It hadn't even been a day and he had to mingle with the girl he rejected. Not that he wanted to, but with a challenge from his rival Natsu? His pride wouldn't let him turn it down so easily. His attention fell on the water mage with her arm wrapped around her best friend, trying to find the words to say that could smooth the conversation over.

"Damn it…. this was a bad idea, fucking Natsu, what do I say to her… "Gray struggled internally before Juvia suddenly spoke up.

"Juvia is alright, If Gray wants to leave, Gray can leave" Juvia stated in a cheery tone, taking another swig along with Gajeel as they both snickered at Natsu's expense. Gray simply stared at Juvia before nodding in agreement, accepting her answer.

"Well, I'm gonna grab a feed, have a good night guys…." Gray strained a smile as he staggered away, waving off drunken cheers as he headed towards one of the spare rooms.

"She's fine about it…I mean she's fine but…. She's over me? "Gray mumbled to himself, in all honesty, he was glad that Juvia wasn't obsessing over him, but to be over him so soon just didn't sit well with him at all.

"Ohhh ok then, what about you, Sweetie? Gonna join us till the end?" Cana questioned the solid script mage as eyes now fell on her.

"I've had enough for tonight too…." Levy barely managed to utter as she staggered upwards, she was drunk, and with 40 shots for the lightweight bookworm? She shouldn't even be standing. Yet as the petite mage looked towards Gajeel, arousal inducing liquor pumping through her system, her eyes locked on his sculpted body as they wandered downwards, she couldn't' help but get turned on.

Levy's mind filled with scenes of her being taken roughly by the iron dragon slayer, her body started feeling flush, Levy's small hands brushing her dress down her hips as if it was enough to hide her horny state.

"Ohhh what am I doing here…. I want him… but…" Levy's face contorted slightly in her drunken state as she internalized taking the dragon slayer home, her body feeling hot at the thought.

"Fuck it… he's right there….let's do this Levy….Let's take him home" Levy gripped the hem of her bright orange dress as she spoke up.

"Gajeel…." The petite mage squeaked as she captured the iron mages attention.

"Yeah shrimp?" Gajeel muttered as he stared at her, she was anxious, and despite the alcohol taking its toll to his body, he could see and smell Levy's intentions all over her.

"C-c-c-could you… take me ….home? …I don't think…. I can make it back…. by myself" Levy shifted side to side, gripping her dress as her face filled a colour crimson. Her eyes filled with determination as she looked towards the dragon slayer.

At this point, levy was thinking more with her crotch than her brain, she wanted Gajeel; she wanted him right now, her thoughts running wild as she started to imagine sex with the iron dragon slayer.

To feel his rough hands against her skin, to grip his rugged body tightly, his deep and growling moans as he took her again and again, and to receive every pleasure a bad boy like him could offer. To the petite mage, nothing could sound more exciting, though as her mood shot through the roof; her penetrating guilt snapped her back to the ground. For levy, not only did she want Gajeel, she needed him.

She needed to erase the memories of the night before, memories of being screwed by a man other than him. Though the act itself should have been fine since they weren't together, Levy couldn't help but feel she betrayed Gajeel before it even started, and there she stood, wanting the man she loved to wipe the memories away and carve fresh ones in.

She wanted that drunken mistake gone from her life, and as Gajeel's ruby eyes glimmered back into hers, she couldn't help but feel like his red star eyes could make her wish come true.

"Nah, get one of your boy toys to take you home" Gajeel stated bluntly, taking a large swig of tequila as Levy flinched from rejection.

"If it were a few days ago….. I'd" Gajeel thought to himself before his eyes flickered back to Levy.

"I'd rather you take m…." Levy stated softly as she looked into his eyes, approaching him ever so slowly before being cut off again by the iron mage.

"Nah, I still gotta finish this drinking match, I ain't gonna lose here, besides, why not just crash in the upstairs rooms?" Gajeel barked coldly as he took another swig, only causing the petite mage to look sullen as she pushed her chair in.

"Oh….. Ok… well….I'm going to bed…goodnight guys…." Levy exclaimed weakly as she put on a timid smile. Walking away before she could hear the groups response.

"Goodnight Levy" both Juvia and Cana cheered and waved goodnight as the solid script mage disappeared up the stairs.

Levy face filled with rage and sorrow as she climbed the staircase, both emotions fluttered around her body like metal boomerangs. The petite mage entered a spare room, locking the door behind her as she crashed down onto a bed, burying her face into the pillows.

"Why did he not want to come….he would always walk me back….i was gonna let him…"levy thought to herself as she forced her face deeper into the pillows. She was frustrated, not only sexually but mentally as well. The girl cried into the pillows while her regret sank further in, wishfully thinking that all her problems could be whisked away by her thuggish prince, only to have reality slap her in the face as she cried alone.

"I'm an idiot….." levy cried into her pillow.

Like Levy, Gray was in an unexpectedly sullen mood, watching the group from afar, eating in a dark corner all by himself.

"I know I rejected her but why the hell am I still looking at her" Gray thought to himself , slipping more mouthfuls of food between his lips.

The ice make mage continued to watch Gajeel, Cana and Juvia drink as he sat alone and ate his meal, his eyes discretely locked on Juvia as she hung on Gajeel's arm.

"Hahahha she's drunk…." Gray smiled a little his attention remained locked on her, though his smile began to drop as she began to hold on tightly to the laughing dragon slayer.

"They seem really close….. But they don't seem to be….. "Just friends"….."Gray mused to himself as Gajeel hauled both Juvia and Cana onto his shoulders, the both of them squealing and Cana giggling as she poured tequila into the thirsty dragon slayer.

"PUT ME DOWN GAJEEL" Juvia shrieked as she drank the rest of her bottle, both Cana and Gajeel laughing as he sat them both down.

"Juvia thinks you're drunk Gajeel, you probably would've dropped us" Juvia stated, though the contents of her sentence were quite problematic, the three continued laughing their asses off as they hit the rest of the vodka together.

"GII HII, nah… there's no way I'd drop you Juv, no way in hell…" Gajeel smirked as he jumped behind the counter, helping himself to a pack of redbull.

"Gajeel, that's stealing" Juvia stated as Gajeel snickered.

"Shhuuuuuushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Cana laughed as she tried to hush Juvia down

"Nobody is supposed to know" Cana whispered, causing both Juvia and Gajeel to burst into fits of giggles.

"No (hic) worries Juv…. I got it covered…" Gajeel pulled out more jewels and placed them with the rest behind the bar, tossing the girls a can each as he skulled back two of them in quick succession.

"I wanna be wide awake when I win this GII HII" Gajeel laughed as both girls slapped his arms.

"No way Gajeel, Juvia is going to win" Juvia smirked as Cana tapped the bar, earning the attention of the two mages instantly.

"You didn't forget about me did you?" Cana smirked as she span an empty bottle of vodka on her fingertips. This only caused the two to smirk as they approached her.

"There's no way we're gonna lose to you booze chi….." Gajeel was suddenly cut off by Juvia's squeal, and the blast of pop music.

"Oh no fuck no, fuck no….no no nooo…." gajeel began as he felt a familiar tugging on his arm.

"Come on Gajeel, dance with Juvia "Juvia practically squealed as she heard her favourite song start up, pulling the iron mage towards the dance floor.

"Oooohhh yeah, let's dance Gajeel" Cana giggled as she grabbed his other arm, signing Gajeel to his fate.

"Fuck…when rain woman dances, she dances for fucking forever….." Gajeel thought to himself as he was dragged to the dance floor, mentally smashing his face into the walls as he gave in. Gajeel never hated dancing, he didn't mind dancing, in fact, he quite enjoyed dancing.

However, he dreaded when Juvia wanted to dance; the girl could practically dance for at least an hour every time. And since Juvia didn't like to dance alone, Gajeel knew he would be the first to be dragged to the dance floor when gray wasn't interested, which was all the time.

The three giggled as they drank and danced away, bodies shaking, hips grinding, fits of laughter as the three drank and danced together, all while the ever cold Gray watched them, fixated on the drunken water mage having the time of her life.

"Why the hell am I still watching her…? I've already…."Gray muttered to himself, his eyes glaring intensely towards Juvia. Gray picked up his fork and dug into his food, spitting it out instantly as he discovered his barely eaten plate of food was already cold.

Gray recalled the night before, after rejecting her; he went to the beach to be alone, to push her out of his mind, though no matter how much he tried, he couldn't get the thought of the water mage out of his head .Gray watched with envy, his mind racing as to why he was even responding like this.

"What the hell is wrong with me…?"Gray continued as Gajeel spun the girls around.

"I don't mind her; she's just a friend… yet…"Gray added while Cana giggled, the card mage climbing onto Gajeel's shoulders.

"It's not like I hate her or anything…"Gray raked his fingers through his hair as he watched Juvia cling to her best friend.

"GOD, It's just that creepy stalker behavior freaks me out….but this.." Gray clenched his fists as Juvia and Cana pulled the dragon slayer in fits of drunken laughter. He had never seen Juvia acting so differently, when she was around him, he couldn't shake the clingy, dependent, creepy, borderline stalker atmosphere she had, but seeing her so carefree and gleeful like that, he couldn't help but feel he had missed out.

Gray sat there without a word, watching the girl he rejected dance with her best friend, going over the facts. He knew what decision he had made, he made it adamantly clear, and remained set on that decision even as she ran away. But, watching that same girl, acting so differently and having the time of her life? He couldn't help but feel he had made a horrible mistake.

"This is just the booze talking… I should just get some rest… everything will be fine tomorrow…" Gray muttered to himself as he staggered upwards and headed towards the spare bedrooms.

"Maybe I'm just over thinking things…" gray mused as he entered a spare room, locking the door behind him.

Gajeel sighed with relief as he felt himself being tugged towards the bar, praying to the gods that both Cana and Juvia decided to stop dancing.

"Oh thank the fucking gods" Gajeel mentally prayed for his stroke of fortuitous luck.

"How many bottles have we got left?" Gajeel barked as the three took their respective seats.

"2 bottles of Jamaican rum and 4 bottles of scotch" Juvia murmured as she leant into him.

"I'll take 2 bottles of scotch then, you two get the rum" Gajeel added as he claimed his bottles, Juvia leant further against him.

"For some reason….this feels comfortable…"Juvia thought to herself, taking a sip by Gajeel's side.

"Getting sleepy there Juvia?" Cana giggled as she opened one of the bottles for herself, watching Juvia panic as she sat up straight.

"Juvia is just fine…" Juvia snapped in with a drunken smile before getting up.

"Juvia will be right back alright? Juvia needs to go to the bathroom" Juvia adds as she staggers towards the bathroom, leaving both Cana and Gajeel alone at the bar.

"So? How was your little trip to the spa?" Cana slurred.

"It was alright, had fun despite the girls taking a large friggin chunk out of my wallet" Gajeel muttered as he sipped his scotch.

"How about that little show in the shower?" Cana smirked as Gajeel spat his drink out

"How the fuck did you know about that?" Gajeel barked while Cana laughed.

"So something did happen?" Cana grinned as she leaned closer to the dragon slayer.

"Damn it, she wants answers…." Gajeel groaned to himself as the Card mage giggled.

"Well the cards predicted something worth gossiping about you two, Since you two went to the spa, I just took a wild guess "Cana explained, giggling while a card twirled between her fingers.

"Well, now that you know, don't go spreading that shit around" Gajeel barked

"Relax meathead that would just ruin my betting pool" Cana giggled.

"YOU'RE ALREADY BETTING ON US?" Gajeel choked briefly on his drink at he stared with shock and awe at the card mage.

"Hahahahaha, I'm joking, I'm joking" the card mage managed to converse as she leaned over the bar in her fits of laughter.

"Jeez, fucking hell Cana…." Gajeel mumbled, calming himself down as he took another swig.

"Though, you two are awfully close, you and Juvia that is" Cana exclaimed with a sultry smile, a smile which Gajeel knew meant she wanted answers.

"We're just friends, met in phantom, she was all sulky and pathetic, paired up with her in a few missions and it worked out for the better, been friends ever since" Gajeel lamely summed up, though he told her the truth, it didn't seem to be enough.

"Nothing else?" Cana questioned.

"Just friends Cana…" Gajeel added as he skulled a good portion of the bottle.

"Ahh well, I was just assuming there was something with Juvia…. since you're giving your favourite little bookworm the cold shoulder" Cana added, earning a piercing glare from Gajeel.

"Don't look at me like that, any girl could tell how cold you were towards Levy tonight" Cana spoke exclaimed, taking another sip from her bottle.

"It was that obvious?" Gajeel questioned as he dropped the cold glare, Cana raising her eyebrow in response only confirmed it.

"So what happened?" Cana questioned as she leaned against the bar, slightly tipsy while her eyes gazed towards Gajeel.

"Nothing, there was nothing between us in the first place" Gajeel muttered, swallowing a generous amount of liquor.

"Doesn't look that way for Levy, I bet even Natsu could tell what she wanted from you earlier" Cana exclaimed with her drunken smirk and sultry tone, gesturing to the pink haired lump with a shot glass in his crack.

"DON'T COMPARE ME TO SALAMANDER... I could smell it all over her….. BUT, there is nothing between Levy and me, Got it?" Gajeel spoke coldly, his tone filled with annoyance, he wanted to end the subject as quickly as possible, and Cana could tell.

"Hey, relax, don't get shitty, I'm just looking out for you" Cana exclaimed as she picked up her bottle.

"Looking out for me?" Gajeel stated bluntly, his voice mixed with hostile tones and confusion.

"Yeah, you and Juvia are my new drinking buddies" Cana added with a giggle as she clinked her bottle against his, causing only Gajeel to sigh and smile.

"Although, if you wanted my input…" Cana added while being cut off.

"Which I don't" Gajeel added as he took another swig.

"I reckon you and Juvia would make a much better match" Cana exclaimed with a smile, causing him once again, to spit his drink out.

"Me and Juv? You're crazy, it'll never happen" Gajeel barked while Cana giggled

"Looks like you've thought about it a little, want to see if there's a good chance?" Cana winked as she flourished her deck in front of him.

Gajeel eyed the twirling deck before him, not that he would admit it but in the beginning, he liked the idea of dating the rain woman, she was beautiful, strong, and exciting to be around, when she wasn't mopey or flooding an area with her tears. Though as they became closer, Gajeel felt that their friendship was enough and thoughts of a relationship were pushed far out of his mind.

"I bet it would be interesting going out with Juv….however…" Gajeel chuckled while he thought to himself, his eyes now turned on the Card mage as he gripped his drink.

"Nah, don't want to" Gajeel added.

"That would just bring up more drama, and I've already got enough of that shit at the moment" Gajeel thought to himself as he took another swig.

"Ohhh come on Iron boy, I know you like what you saw" Cana retorted as she started sliding cards onto the bar.

Cana had him on that, even though he shouldn't have, he enjoyed that delicious view of his best friend, bare before him, her snow white skin, luscious curves, if given the chance at another look, he would drop everything for a glance.

"Nope, not interested, nothing's going to happen between me and Juvia" Gajeel answered, taking down a generous gulp of liquor.

"That's not what the Cards say" Cana exclaimed as she looked over her dealt cards.

"Wait what?" Gajeel's head quickly snapped towards Cana, who only responded by slapping her Cards away.

"Looks like someone's interested after all, hahahha" Cana laughed as she levitated her cards of the ground and guided them into her pouch.

"Tsk… What's the time…" Gajeel sucked his teeth, taking another swig while Cana giggled at his expense.

'Just 20 minutes to 2, we've been drinking for a while now…where is Juvia anyway?" Cana mumbled as she finished her last bottle.

"I don't know, she said she was going to the bathroom, but that was like 20 minutes ago, " Gajeel added as he finished his last bottle as well.

"Let's go get her, she still has two bottles to go" Cana continued as the two laugh, the both of them staggering upwards and walking towards the bathroom.

"OI, JUV, FUCKING HURRY UP" Gajeel barked as his fist pounded the Girls bathroom door.

"How about letting the girl, go into the girls bathroom dumb ass" Cana slurred as she opened the door.

"Oh…. Fuck….. Yeah, that would be a good idea" Gajeel mumbled as he leaned against the frame while Cana entered.

Gajeel stood outside the women's bathroom, swaying side to side while he tapped his foot, he didn't want to wait outside the women's bathroom, for a guy, it can be weird, no matter how gajeel could describe the situation, he was waiting outside a woman's bathroom, which is enough to warrant questionable stares.

"What's taking the girls so fucking long… making me look like some fucking freak…" Gajeel screamed internally, he didn't mind the stares; people often stared because of his piercings, or hostile appearance. But the questioning looks from his guild mates were starting to get to him

"Fuck it, might as well take a leak before I'm labelled a pervert" Gajeel then headed towards the men's bathroom.

As Gajeel pulled the door open and walked in, what the dragon slayer expected to see was the guilds pristine stalls and urinals, however, he saw something completely different. His face contorted from his usual scowl to one of complete bafflement, not one word was uttered as he gazed down, only to find the familiar blue locks of his best friend, nestled against his pants, and her face was pressed right against his crotch.

Gajeel's eyes remained locked onto the drunken water mage, who simply sat there in her white top, green ribbon and blue dress, kneeling before him. Juvia's coat was discarded to her side, covered with small chunks of vomit; the two remained frozen in place while Juvia softly panted.

A pair of azure eyes flashed upwards, staring in intoxicated bliss while Gajeel looked down, absolutely shocked. His jaw would have dropped onto Juvia's face if he wasn't too baffled to move.

"Was his…. Touching my…. Juvia thought to herself in a drunken daze, her blush spreading like wildfire across her cheeks. Though the water mage was drunk, Juvia understood her current predicament quite clearly, yet she was unable to bring herself to move, she didn't want to move.

"What... the hell are you doing…?" Gajeel's face contorted as he barked at Juvia, causing her to snap to her feet, fanning herself to calm down.

"J-j-j-juvia …..Was… just …securing her boots is all….." Juvia managed to stammer and slur out, swaying in place while she fixed her clothes. Blushing as she felt his piercing eyes on her before they were masked by a face palm.

"You were securing your boots?..., In the men's bathroom?" Gajeel stated bluntly, causing Juvia to snap up at the words.

"J-J-J-JUVIA IS IN THE MEN'S BATHROOM AGAIN?" Juvia exclaimed as her hands covered her face, blushing from pure embarrassment just Gajeel simply sighed.

"Why do I keep finding her in the men's….." Gajeel thought to himself while Juvia cringed on the floor.

"Come on, get up, you're drunk, go to the bar and I'll take you home." Gajeel stated bluntly as he headed towards the urinals, only to be stopped by Juvia midway.

"Juv, I'm trying to…" Gajeel spoke before getting cut off by Juvia.

"Juvia is not drunk….Juvia is fine…. Juvia can still beat Gajeel" Juvia mumbled, nearly falling over before clinging to him.

"God she can be a handful…." Gajeel thought to himself

"Look, go tell Cana I'm taking you home and meet me at the bar alright?" Gajeel ordered, while Juvia stared back defiantly and folded her arms, she clearly wasn't going to give in. the man sighed before he gestured to the door.

"Fine, meet me at the friggin bar, you still have 2 bottles to finish" Gajeel muttered only for Juvia to crack a smile and leave. Gajeel huffed as he staggered into a stall.

"Great…I'm gonna have a puking drunk to take care of tonight…. "Gajeel mused as he lifted the toilet seat up.

Juvia dropped her coat and crept out of the men's bathroom, doing her best to avoid detection of her partying guild mates while she staggered towards the bar. Taking a seat and discovering her two bottles still capped and untouched. Juvia quickly twisted the cap off and started drinking it down.

"How could Juvia enter the men's twice in one day….." Juvia thought to herself, drinking a small portion of rum.

"WHY DID JUVIA STAY DOWN NEAR GAJEEL'S…..." Juvia screamed internally as she swallowed a large amount of rum back, now shaking her head to fight off the blush. It wasn't working.

"Juvia can't think of him like that…Gajeel is Juvia's friend…" Juvia continued as Cana took a seat beside her. Her mind now rushing back to the peep show in the shower room

"Oh my god… I'm still thinking about his di…" Cana cut her thought off. "JUVIA, hey, ive been trying to get your attention for a while now" Cana began while Juvia's attention fell on the card mage.

"Oh... Sorry Cana, Juvia was just lost in thought" Juvia admitted, moving her locks to hide her blush.

"Thinking about Gray are we?" Cana inquired, giggling while Juvia places the bottle to her lips

"No… Juvia was not thinking about Gray…. Gray rejected Juvia completely and Juvia has vowed to find better than him" Juvia mumbled between sips while Cana inched towards Juvia, her lips right near Juvia's earlobe.

"Good on you Juvia, though, you must've been thinking about something lewd then…." Cana exclaimed in her sultry tone, earning a shiver and blush from the water mage.

"Cana is confused, Juvia was not thinking about perverted things…" Juvia added as she shifted slightly away from the card mage.

"Then what were you doing in the men's bathroom I wonder...you weren't in the women's that's for sure" Cana added, giggling while the water mage panicked in place.

"HOW DOES CANA KNOW THAT?" Juvia nearly screamed out before taking another swig.

"Just a lucky guess…" Cana added as she twirled her cards about. "That and now the answer is written all over your face" Cana added with a sultry tone, laughing before the water mage turned to her drink.

"So... Are you going to tell me? Or are we gonna see who walks out of the bathroom" Cana continued, giggling at Juvia's expense.

"NO, Juvia walked into the men's bathroom by…accident…..Ohhh no...Juvia used the men's…" Juvia put her head between her legs, cringing hard that she used the men's bathroom, not that the bathroom was dirty, but if anyone else knew? Like Cana, would assume she was doing something lewd in there.

"You still haven't answered me sweetie" Cana added with a teasing tone, making the water mage shake her head in her drunken state.

"Nothing happened in there, Juvia swears, Juvia used the bathroom, puked…. And…"Juvia went to continue before remembering the last part of her adventure in the men's, her face blushing even further.

"And?" Cana teased the poor girl even further, reaching for her saved barrels of wine under the bar while Juvia sat there silently

Juvia sat there frozen with panic, she didn't want to answer. The water mage didn't want anyone thinking anything was going on between herself and her best friend, not because it was the thuggish Gajeel, but if anyone else started giving her idea's, she knew she would start falling for her best friend.

However, Cana was going to get her answer, Juvia knew she was going to get it. Either now, or in the few minutes it would take for Gajeel to finish up in the bathroom. Juvia resigned herself to her fate before turning towards the card mage.

"Alright…Juvia will tell you….,Juvia…was fixing her boots when Gajeel walked in and his…junk… ended up pressed against Juvia's.. Face…" Juvia managed to mutter out with pure embarrassment, blushing like crazy while Cana face was plastered with absolute shock.

"Oh my God …you bl..." Cana blurted out getting cut off by the bluenette.

"NO….Juvia didn't….. Do that….he had his pants on…" Juvia almost squealed, still trying to hide the blush on her face.

"Ohhh boo…I thought it was gonna get interesting "Cana giggled, pouring herself a glass of wine while Juvia swallowed a generous amount of rum.

"But… the weird thing is…Juvia kind of….wanted to…" the water mage admitted, earning a big smirk from the Card mage.

"Then what are you waiting for, go get him hahahha" Cana added while she started pushing Juvia towards the men's toilets, the water mage pulling her back towards the bar.

"Nooo, Juvia can't do that…" Juvia stated as her attention fell on her rum.

"Why not? I'm surprised you haven't slept with him before, look at him, even with the studs on his face, he is quite the fucking stud" Cana exclaimed, taking a sip from her glass.

At this point, Juvia was absolutely confused; her crush rejecting her, the vow of finding better and the aspect of her best friend being starting to become a possibility, was just a little overwhelming.

"Gajeel is Juvia's best friend; we just can't….Juvia mean's…." Juvia continued as she finished the bottle and started ravaging the second bottle.

Cana's eyes fell on the water mage, even through Juvia's barely hidden blush and drunken sway; the card mage could see Juvia was confused about the whole ordeal.

"You don't want to risk losing your best friend do you?" Cana finished off for Juvia, who only nodded in response.

"What is Juvia going to do….Juvia is starting to think of Gajeel as…." Juvia muttered while she gripped her bottle of rum tightly, swallowing down a generous amount of glorious rum.

"Ohhh damn, she's really hitting those drinks hard…" Cana mused to herself while the water mage took another drink.

"Whoa Juvia, take it easy" Cana added while Juvia simply pressed the bottle to her lips again.

"Juvia's fine…" the water mage added with a dazed look, pouring even more liquor between her lips.

"Juvia doesn't want to lose Gajeel….But Gajeel is the best Guy Juvia knows…" Juvia added, almost finishing her last bottle within 10 minutes.

"Really Juvia, you should take it….." Cana continued only to get cut off by Juvia.

"Even though Gajeel can be an ass most of the time….Juvia knows he's a great guy…" The water mage exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around the card mage.

"She sure is honest when she's fucking wasted…." Cana chuckled to herself as she took a sip of wine, patting the water mages head.

"What is Juvia going to do…." Juvia added while she leaned further into the card mage.

5 minutes earlier, in the men's bathroom.

Gajeel finished his business in the stall, washing his hands with soap while he looked into the mirror.

"Guarantee the fucking rain woman is drinking her face off with the friggin drunk chick…" Gajeel muttered to himself, drying his hands off before heading to the exit.

Gajeel headed to the door, but halted when he saw a blue garment on the floor, it was Juvia's puked covered coat.

"Damn it…do I gotta fucking clean this?" Gajeel barked while he picked up the garment, the rancid smell of barf assaulted his nose.

The man sighed, he knew he was going to clean it, leaving the garment there would only bring up questions and rumors. Two things that spread like wildfire and caused drama within the guild. and two things he didn't need. Gajeel reluctantly approached the sink and grabbed paper towels.

"Fucking Juv owes me for this…" Gajeel muttered as he slowly started cleaning off the vomit.

Gajeel's head snapped to the left when he heard the Men's bathroom door open, a fellow guild member entered, though it was not one that Gajeel wanted to see. It was Jet.

Jet approached Gajeel and halted in front of him, standing a meter away in dead silence while the dragon slayer cleaned the jacket. The man was drunk off his face, staggering and swaying while he glared at Gajeel.

"What the hell is he doing…?" Gajeel thought to himself as he continued cleaning the jacket.

"You just gonna stand there.. or are you gonna fucking say something?" Gajeel started, chuckling as he started drying off his friend's jacket.

"Stay the fuck away from Levy….she's mine now…" Jet managed to slur out, the liquor was taking its toll to him.

Gajeel simply shook his head as he finished cleaning the jacket.

"OK?….She's …a friend… if that's all you wanted to say, fuck off, I'm out of here" Gajeel grunted, picking up the coat and heading for the door, only to find Jet standing in his way.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Gajeel questioned while jet just glared at him.

"Stay away from her, I'm warning you, or…." Jet began before the dragon slayer cut him off.

"Or what? What the fuck can you do?" Gajeel barked at him, quickly silencing the speed mage.

Gajeel was annoyed, being stopped by some a drunk 'comrade" was not what he wanted at that moment.

Jet simply looked back at the dragon slayer, knowing full well Gajeel was right. He was nowhere near as powerful as the studded dragon slayer, yet there he was, for his twisted reasons, trying to act tough.

"Fuck your little crush..." Jet spat out viciously, causing the dragon slayer to visibly flinch.

"That's what Gajeel...ohhh wait? I already did" Jet started laughing while Gajeel glared at him.

"This fucker is actually bragging…." Gajeel thought to himself while Jet held a smug look plastered on his face.

Gajeel simply glared right back, absolutely baffled. Not even a day and the guy who slept with the girl he liked, was standing before him, gloating.

A part of him wanted to beat the pathetic man to a pulp, the other part, wanted to beat Jet down until he was gushing blood and begging for mercy. Unfortunately, if Gajeel attacked jet, it would only prove that Jet actually hurt him, but with his reaction, it was already too late, Jet knew he had hurt him and he was reveling in it.

The dragon slayer unclenched his fist, pushing the drunken jet aside, repressing all desires to physically hurt the idiot who dared anger a slayer mage. Though as Gajeel approached the door he felt Jet's hand grasp his shoulder.

"What? The stapled face prick got nothing to say?" Jet spat out, laughing in drunken hysterics as he began to turn the dragon slayer around, though his face soon contorted to one that was filled with pain. Feeling the back of his head connecting with the wall and a piercing iron grip wrapped tightly against his throat.

Jet gasped for air, his eyes filled with fear, his strangled up against the wall. Jet saw Gajeel's skin beginning to crawl with dark metal scales, a plume of shadows, coursing violently over the slayers body. Jet began to shake as he looked at Gajeel; the idiot had managed to provoke the Iron shadow dragon mode.

"If you fucking touch me...again…, I'll fucking slice you down… ONE FUCKING SALAMI SLICE AT A TIME…." Gajeel growled, his demonic voice sending chills down jets spine while his arm formed a giant chainsaw. Suddenly piercing the wall, only inches away from Jets face. The chainsaw revved furiously while the Jet panicked in place.

Jet squealed and kicked, at this point, the speed mage was genuinely scared, and with Gajeel's blade revving violently through the wall right next to his face, he was almost pissing himself with fear.

"Do-You-FUCKING-UNDERSTAND?" Gajeel barked, followed by a rapid succession of nods by Jet, he understood quite clearly while he shook with fear, and with Dragon slayer eyes piercing into what felt like his soul, Jet agreed.

Jet soon fell to the floor like a sack of potatoes, gasping for air while Gajeel dropped his slayer mode and left, slamming the door hard behind him.

"That will teach you to fucking mess with me…" Gajeel thought to himself, calming his body down before his eyes locked right onto his bluenette friend, getting her head pat by the guilds resident drinking champion.

"Yep…Juvia's fucking wasted…" Gajeel sighed before making his way towards the bar.

"What do you think…. Juvia should do…. Cana….?" Juvia mumbled towards Cana, the liquor was finally taking its toll on water mage.

"She really doesn't know what to do…" Cana thought to herself, though her mind raced for answers, she couldn't find any.

"I don't know…Just do what you think is right, but for now… just see what happens…alright?" Cana exclaimed, Juvia simply nodding while she took a sip of Cana's wine.

"Juvia understands, Juvia will just have to see what happens…" Juvia mumbled while Cana noticed a familiar pair of crimson eyes making their way towards the two girls.

"Don't look now, Gajeel's coming" Cana added, the water mage instantly snapping upwards as Gajeel soon approached the bar.

"Shit, Juvia can't let Gajeel know she's drunk…..he'll try to make Juvia go home…" the water mage thought to herself, though with the amount of liquor coursing through her body, there was no way it was possible.

"Oi Juvia…you left your friggin coat in the bathroom, I cleaned the friggin puke off it but it still needs a wash" Gajeel spoke as he handed the garment to her

"Thank you…Gajeel" Juvia spoke softly, though Juvia tried her best to appear sober, Gajeel only shook his head while he watched her sway side to side.

"She can barely friggin sit up" Gajeel chuckled inwardly, his eyes trained on Juvia who just bobbed sided to side, Gajeel could barely keep a smile from cracking on his lips.

"Juvia.. Come on, let's go, I'm taking you home" Gajeel spoke while Juvia refused to move.

"No no, Juvia…is fine..." Juvia mumbled

"Damn it, don't tell me she's gonna make this difficult…." Gajeel thought to himself.

"Alright, Juv, you're drunk, get your shit, I'm taking you home" Gajeel barked in his usual hostile tone while the drunken water mage shook her head.

"No...Juvia still has to beat you..." Juvia barely managed to stammer out while Cana began helping her to her feet.

"HOLY FUCK, THE BET, I'M GONNA WIN HAHAHAHA" Gajeel mentally celebrated while he looked at Juvia staggering upwards.

"Gajeel's right, you should go home and get some rest alright?" Cana added

Juvia looked at the both of them, they weren't going to let her continue and she knew it, Juvia simply sighed, she wasn't going to win.

"Alright….Gajeel…take me home….you ass…" Juvia muttered, staggering towards the main doors while the slayer shook his head.

"She can barely fucking walk..." Gajeel groaned internally, sighing before hoisting the water mage onto his back.

Juvia simply nuzzled and clung tightly to his back, Gajeel, reluctantly giving her a piggyback ride while picked up her belongings.

"Thanks for looking out for her booze chick" Gajeel grunted, making his way to the exit while Cana walked beside him.

"It was no problem Gajeel, It was a lot of fun… and I learned a lot too" Cana added with a smirk and sly wink.

"Damn…she fucking knows something…its written all over her friggin face" Gajeel cursed inwardly, the trio passing through the main doors into the courtyard.

"I'll see you tomorrow Cana" Gajeel added, turning towards Cana when they reached the street.

"Maybe the three of us can finish this match later hmm?" Cana suggested, earning a wicked grin from the dragon slayer.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea Ca..." Gajeel was cut off

"YEAH!, YOUR ON CANA!, JUVIA AND GAJEEL WILL BEAT YOU!." Juvia declared, raising her arms and cheering at the top of her lungs, not only earning a giggle from the card mage, but effectively screaming directly into Gajeel's ears.

"AHHH, Damn it Juv, don't friggin shout in my ears" Gajeel barked while he hoisted the water mage back into piggyback position, causing Cana to break out into a fit of giggles.

"We'll see you later Cana" Gajeel muttered, turning towards the street before Cana began laughing in his face.

"Bye Cana!, Juvia will see you later!" Juvia shouted directly into the dragon slayers ear, earning another giggle from Cana while Gajeel groaned.

"Have a good night guys" Cana finished, waving the duo off.

"Come on you friggin drunk, let's get you home.." Gajeel muttered as he started walking, carrying Juvia towards Fairy Hills.

"Jeez, those two are fun..I wonder what's gonna happen to them…" Cana chuckled to herself before returning inside.

Juvia softly panted while Gajeel carried her towards Fairy hills, it wasn't a long walk, but with the both of them drunk, she could tell he was struggling a bit.

"Gajeel….?" Juvia spoke softly.

"Yeah Juv?" Gajeel answered back.

"Thanks for taking me home…." Juvia muttered while she closed her eyes, slightly drooling onto his back.

"No problem Juv…. just rest a bit alright, you'll be home soon…" Gajeel replied softly while Juvia moaned in response.

Gajeel walked in silence while the drunken water mage clung to his back, recalling and analyzing the events with Jet.

"What the fuck was his problem..." Gajeel cursed to himself.

He didn't know what to think. First finding out that the shrimp actually fucked Jet, realizing that Levy still wanted him, and the final piece of the drama jigsaw puzzle, Jet telling him to back off? All within 48 hours? it's enough to rattle anyone's mind. The dragon slayer simply sighed as he walked the dark streets of Magnolia, he knew the business with Jet, was far from over.

Gajeel continued to stagger through the town, Light lacrima shining light onto the duo as the past the poles one by one. the slayer began to slow down slightly, though not as drunk as Juvia, he was still feeling a hell of a lot more than tipsy.

"God…those drinks are gonna kick my ass in the morning..…" Gajeel thought to himself, but grinned when a small little fact popped into his head.

"Hahaha, i fucking won... Cant wait till Breakfast Juv..." Gajeel smirked as he looked back, noticing Juvia nestling into the crook of his neck.

"Damn...she can be fucking cute sometimes..." Gajeel muttered to himself, a quick smile flashing across his lips before slightly shaking his head.

"damn it, i cant be thinking about her like that..." Gajeel thought to himself, though unintentionally rousing the water mage up.

"Is something wrong Gajeel?..." Juvia moaned in her drunken daze, nestling further while her eyes flicked slightly.

"nah Juv.. Just rest a bit... almost at the dorms..." Gajeel replied softly as Fairy hills dormitory came into view.

"Ok..." Juvia muttered while she looked towards Gajeel's face.

"Juvia likes it when Gajeel's like this..." Juvia thought to herself, a smile shining across her soft lips while her arms held tightly against his shoulders, her thighs slipping further into Gajeel's strong grip.

"But...should Juvia.. want more..." Juvia continued in her mind, trying to internalize her predicament with her best friend. Unfortunately, she kept coming back to the same conclusion, it would be either the best decision...or the worst mistake of her life.

Juvia nuzzled back into Gajeel's back as he staggered up the path towards Fairy hills.

"Maybe…Juvia should see if Gajeel would notice….Juvia…" Juvia finished her little thought bubble, looking up as the duo soon approached the entrance.

"You're home Juvia" Gajeel spoke, the water mage shifting upwards before sliding off of the slayers back.

"Thank you Gajeel..." Juvia thanked Gajeel as she slipped out her keys, unlocking the door to the dorms.

"I'll see you tomorrow Juv" Gajeel added before turning around, though quickly being stopped by the water mage.

"Gajeel's drunk, Gajeel can stay with Juvia tonight..." Juvia exclaimed while she pulled him inside , giving him no choice but to stay.

"Alright alright.." Gajeel spoke with a chuckle, following Juvia to her room, entering after she unlocked the door.

Juvia headed towards her private bathroom while Gajeel sniffed his clothes.

"God these clothes stink..." Gajeel muttered to himself, though he didn't vomit, his clothes faintly smelled of Juvia's puke, so faint, only a dragon slayer could detect it.

Gajeel sighed, not wanting to lie down and smell barf every second, he went to find his spare clothes.

There weren't many times where he stayed at Juvia's, but at the times he did, his spare clothes were never where he left them, instead, he would always find Juvia's Gray memorabilia in its place.

"Man…she still has this Gray crap…I still have no comment for this…." Gajeel shook his head.

"Juv...Where are my clothes?" Gajeel spoke quietly, loud enough for only Juvia, and possibly Wendy to hear.

"Juvia kept moving them... so Juvia put it in one of her Drawers." Juvia exclaimed through her bathroom door.

Gajeel approached her stack of drawers, there were several drawers but he didn't know which.

"Which one?" Gajeel whispered

"Juvia's not sure, just look through them…" Juvia replied while a muffled thud and a metallic clank echoed through the door.

"What was that? " Gajeel inquired

"Juvia's getting changed…" Juvia managed to slur out, the small bit of info sending signals through the dragon slayers head.

"Oh...She's changing…." Gajeel thought to himself before his brain started recalling what happened earlier in the men's shower. His mind filled with thoughts of Juvia naked. Gajeel started to think of other things but it was too late, he was already imagining Juvia slipping her clothes, and with his superior hearing, he could picture every single thing Juvia was doing, with 100% accuracy.

The man tapped his testicles, making him groan slightly in pain, Gajeel figured it would hurt but he knew it was the only way to stop picturing his best friend naked.

"God damn it you friggin idiot… stop picturing her naked….. Don't picture her drop... dead fucking sexy….FUCK" Gajeel groaned again, accidentally catching Juvia's attention.

"Did you find your clothes Gajeel?" Juvia asked, Gajeel could hear her slipping on clothes and could tell she was almost done.

"Not yet, still looking…" Gajeel answered back.

"Fuck it, let's just check drawers…" Gajeel thought to himself as he reached for the top left drawer, sticking his hand right in. Though, the first thing he grabbed out was not anything he wore.

"Juvia's coming out Gajeel…" Juvia muttered as she walked back into her room.

A few minutes earlier...

Juvia had filled her sink up; washing the makeup off her face, even without the makeup, her skin was flawless. The girl soon stripped off her clothes and stood on her underwear, surveying her choice for pajamas's

"The top and shorts….or the baby doll…" Juvia thought to herself as she eyed the garments, Juvia normally slept in baby doll nighties, she loved how sexy she looked in them, and hoped someone else would too, but whenever she had a friend over, it was the top and shorts.

Juvia blushed when she realized she thought about wearing something sexy for Gajeel, rushing and grabbing the top and shorts

"Theres no way I can wear the baby doll…." Juvia thought to herself as she went to put on the top.

Unfortunately, luck was not in the Juvia's side as she accidentally flung her top into the air, watching it fall into the water filled basin.

"NOOOOO" Juvia cursed inwardly as she pulled the top out, it was soaked.

"Juvia can't wear this now…." Juvia thought to herself, even with her water magic, she couldn't pull water out of a wet top. Juvia's eyes then fell on her previous clothes, picking them up and dropping them within seconds.

"They smell like puke…." Juvia muttered to herself, she didn't want to smell her own vomit in bed.

Juvia soon sighed and accepted her fate, turning to her last and only garment, she couldn't wear anything else.

Juvia looked in the mirror as she slipped on her light blue, Baby doll nighty, letting the lacy nightwear slide down to her thighs.

"Juvia just hope Gajeel won't think it's weird... if Juvia wear's this..." Juvia muttered while she twirled in place, her blue locks sliding near her nighties straps.

Though it was her favorite baby doll, she blushed like crazy knowing Gajeel would see her in it, Juvia pulled at the hems of the nighty, hoping it would show less. Though no matter what she did, the hem would always sit 1/3 down her thigh.

"Alright….let's just do this…Gajeel has seen Juvia….naked….this should be fine…" Juvia thought to herself while she dumped her clothes in the hamper.

"Juvia's coming out Gajeel…" Juvia muttered, steeling herself as she walked back into her room, her eyes falling straight onto Gajeel.

"Gajeel?..." Juvia muttered as she walked slowly towards him.

Gajeel stood there, frozen, not wanting to turn around whatsoever; he knew he was screwed the moment he accidentally pulled out one of Juvia's Lacy thongs.

He was fucked, he knew it, even in their drunk state, he knew it would be an almost impossible mission to explain why he had her thong in his hands. Gajeel gulped and turned around, a blush immediately spread across Juvia's face.

"I CAN EXPLAIN" Gajeel blurted out before a squeal echoed in his ears.

"What is Gajeel doing with my…." Juvia slurred and stammered out, too flustered to finish her own sentence. Juvia yanked the thong from his hands and put it away; glaring a hole through Gajeel's head as the two faced each other.

"Why was Gajeel looking through Juvia's underwear!" Juvia shouted in a hushed tone, she didn't want the other girls to hear but she wanted to scream at Gajeel.

However, Gajeel was distracted while Juvia was yelling at him.

"Fuck…..she looks…fucking hot…" Gajeel started shifting; he couldn't deny how drop dead sexy she was at that moment, even with her softly yelling at him.

"GAJEEL" Juvia slapped Gajeel's arm to get his attention, the dragon slayer snapping back to reality.

"Oh fuck….sorry Juv…it was….the first drawer I checked…" Gajeel muttered quietly while Juvia shook her head.

"Just…sit down…and Juvia will find your clothes" Juvia muttered, Gajeel quickly sitting on her couch watching Juvia while she checked her drawers.

"Fuck …." Was all Gajeel could think, watching Juvia bend and search her drawers in her baby doll nighty.

"WHY THE FUCK IS SHE WEARING THAT..., WHAT HAPPENED TO HER FUCKING SHORTS AND TOP…" Gajeel cursed inwardly, not that he was complaining but he didn't need any more sexy images of his best friend circulating his head. The man continued watching while Juvia searched her drawers.

"Damn it Gajeel…." Juvia cursed inwardly while she blushed, searching her drawers for any sign of Gajeel's spare clothes. Juvia sighed before looking back, catching a glimpse of Gajeel staring right at her.

"Oh my god…he's watching me…." Juvia blushed further, pulling her nighty down as she checked the last drawer, luckily, finding some of Gajeel's clothing.

Juvia picked them up and tossed them to Gajeel.

"Get dressed, Juvia is going to bed…." Juvia muttered before staggering to bed, she was drunk, she was tired and it was a long, but fun day. Gajeel simply nodded and grabbed his things, heading quickly into the bathroom.

Juvia pulled the covers off her kind sized bed and slid in, she loved her bed, it was large and it felt like a cloud. Juvia pulled the blanket over herself as she nestled in, Gajeel soon leaving her bathroom in a black tank top and black boxers.

"Goodnight Juv" Gajeel spoke softly as he glanced towards Juvia.

"Juvia still hasn't forgiven you for looking at her thong…" Juvia muttered while Gajeel giggled.

"It was an accident Juv…and if you're still mad…I'll make it up to you alright…" Gajeel whispered back, bringing a small smile back to her face.

"You better….Goodnight Gajeel…" Juvia muttered before closing her eyes, leaving Gajeel to head to the spare bed.

"HAHAHA, I FUCKING WIN" Gajeel thought to himself as he approached the spare room, it was nearly 5am, and he was exhausted.

His night had a bit more excitement than he anticipated and he needed to sleep, unfortunately for him there was just a little more excitement waiting as he entered his room, discovering his spare bed covered in Gray memorabilia and a large blanket with Gray's face on it, with the words "I LOVE GRAY "sewn into it.

Gajeel didn't even have to think about it has he walked right out of the spare room, and hopped in bed right next to Juvia. For him, there was no possible option.

"What is Gajeel doing?" Juvia squealed as she felt the dragon slayer jump in next to her.

"There's no fucking way I'm sleeping in a bed with Gray's fucking face on it" Gajeel barked as he pulled the covers over them.

"Just sleep in it, its fine…." Juvia muttered as she nuzzled into the pillows.

"No way… you sleep in that bed…coz there's no way in hell you're making me sleep there" Gajeel muttered back.

Juvia weighed her options, since Juvia herself didn't want to sleep under the 'Gray blanket'; she had no choice but to sleep next to Gajeel.

"Fine….it's not like we haven't shared a bed before…." Juvia muttered, closing her eyes

"lets just go to sleep..." Juvia muttered before nestling into the pillows, Gajeel soon following in suit.

Though the two were drunk and tired, a blush managed to crawl onto their faces as a small little fact sinked in. Juvia was less than a metre away, in lacy lingerie.

"Damn it...why did Juvia soak her shirt..." Juvia thought to herself as she lay there, desperately trying to fall to sleep. Juvia didn't mind sharing a bed with Gajeel, they've already done it before. But, laying next to her best friend, in her most laciest lingerie, was incredibly embarrassing and incredibly daunting.

"Juvia wonder's what Gajeel things about this..." Juvia thought to herself, shaking her head while she etched away from the dragon slayer.

Gajeel turned away from the water mage, putting his pillow directly over his groin. Gajeel knew fully well that if he kept looking, he was going to poke her with something.

"damn... this is gonna be one long night..." Gajeel muttered to himself before closing his eyes.
