Chapter 1

It's a late night at the guild and some members are still sitting around before turning in for the night.

"Hey, I have a fun idea!" Mirajane says, getting attention from her guildmates.

Her youngest sibling looks at her. "What is it, Big Sis?"

"It's a game we all can play," she replies.

"I'll crush every single one of ya!" Natsu pumps a fist. "I'm all fired up now!"

The white-haired woman giggles. "There's no way of winning really."

"What do you have in mind?" Erza inquires.

"It's called Paranoia," she answers.

The card mage lowers her drink after taking a swig. "Woo, I love that game! I'm so in!"

"Paranoia?" Lucy looks at her petite friend. "Have you heard of it, Levy?"

"I've heard of it, but have never played it myself," she replies.

"Yeah, I'll play," Gray says.

"If Gray-sama is playing then Juvia will play as well!" the water mage says.

Gajeel folds his arms across his chest. "Tch, I'll play too."

"Alright, everyone gather at a table!" Mirajane says.

The ten all take their places at one table, ready to get started.

"So how does one play?" Juvia inquires.

"One person whispers in the ear of the person sitting next to them and asks a question," Cana explains. "That person has to answer it and then they flip a coin. If it's heads, the question isn't revealed." A sly smile forms on her face. "But if it's tails, everybody gets to know what the question was. And the game is better if the question is about a person who's playing the game."

The requip mage nods. "That shall be a rule. Should there be a question about a person, it must be a person participating."

"Gihi, that'll make things interesting," the iron dragon slayer comments.

"Or embarrassing," the blonde says.

"Yeah, so no embarrassing questions!" the short-haired bluenette announces.

Natsu shakes his head. "No way! Embarrassing questions will make this game more fun!"

"I'm with him," the dark-haired guy agrees.

"Then let's get started!" Lisanna says.

Something dawns on Lucy. "Waaait!"

All eyes turn to her.

"There are two dragon slayers playing this game," she points out. "They have really good hearing so they're going to what everyone whispers."

"I've got a trick that'll work!" The card mage goes into her bag and pulls out two cards. She flings them at the duo and each one smacks against their foreheads, the back of the cards facing out. They glow for a moment and then fall away, wafting onto the table before disappearing into thin air.

"Sooo what just happened to us?" the pinkette inquires.

"The both of you have normal hearing like the rest of us. But don't worry, it'll wear off once you leave the game." Cana takes a swig of her drink. "And I'm going first because I have a good one!" She leans into the white-haired woman's ear.

She giggles before at the card mage's question before answering it. "Lucy I think," she replies.

Natsu is the first took look at the blonde before everyone else does. She merely gulps.

Mirajane takes the coin and flips it in the air, letting it bounce along the table. It lands heads up.

"What was the question?" the pinkette asks quickly.

Cana laughs, slapping a hand to her knee. "I asked who she thinks has the best rack in the circle!"

Some nod in agreement while Lucy groans.

The white-haired woman leans towards Natsu and whispers, cupping her hands around her mouth and his ear.

His dark green eyes immediately flicker over to Fairy Tail's one and only celestial spirit mage.

Mirajane pulls away. "Well?"

The pinkette looks down at twiddling fingers. "L-Lucy."

"Not me again," she whines.

"Go on and flip the coin, Natsu," the white-haired girl urges.

He does and, luckily, it lands face down. Natsu sighs in relief. "That coulda been a close one! I totally forgot about that part with the coin!"

"Alright, what's my question?" Lisanna asks.

The pinkette studies her for a moment before he lights up. He leans over and whispers.

The white-haired girl laughs. "Have a dragon!"

Gray rolls his eyes. "Leave it to Ash for Brains to ask a dragon related question."

Lisanna takes the coin and flips it. All eyes watch it as is flops over heads up.

"I asked if she would rather have a dragon or be a dragon," the pinkette states proudly.

Everyone laughs. "Of course you did," Gajeel comments.

"Ooo, I've got a good one for you, Erza," the white-haired girl says, and leans over to whisper to her.

The requip mage closes her eyes to think things over. "My loyalty." Then she flips the coin and it lands face down.

"Give me your best shot, Erza," Levy says.

She whispers into her ear, causing the short-haired bluenette's eyes to grow wide.

"Oh, wow!" Levy exclaims. "That is a good one. A really good one. Well, I would have to say… go into their book!"

"I'm kind of curious what the question was," the blonde comments as her petite friend flips the coin.

It lands face down.

The short-haired bluenette looks at the blonde, a gleam in her eye. Then she leans in to whisper, "Between you and Natsu, who would confess to the other first?"

She feels her face heat up. "W-what kind of question is that?" Lucy squeaks.

"One you have to answer!" Levy replies deviously.

The blonde looks anywhere but where Natsu is as she thinks. Well. She isn't sure if he would even know how to. And why would he? They're only partners. Just friends. She doesn't even know if he could think of her in a romantic sense!

"Welllllll?" the pinkette asks, curious as to the delay in answering.

Without thinking, the blonde blurts out, "Me! I guess. I think. Maybe."

"Wow, that's pretty bold of you to say, Lu," the short-haired bluenette comments.

Lucy holds her breath as the coin flips in the air.

"We better hear the question," the card mage says, and takes a swig of her drink.

When it's heads down, the blonde sighs in relief

The water mage claps her hands together. "It is now Juvia's turn!"

So Lucy leans over and asks her, "Would you rather be with Gray or Lyon?"

A blush comes across her cheeks. "Gray-sama!"

"Gihi, this outta be good," the iron dragon slayer chuckles.

The dark-haired guy groans when the coin lands heads up.

"I asked if she'd rather be with Gray or Lyon," the blonde states.

"Forever and ever," Juvia adds dreamily.

Gray rolls his eyes. "Quit being mushy and just ask me a question."

The water mage gladly leans towards him and whispers in his ear.

He tries to keep his cool while answer. "Well. I would have to say to kiss a girl…"

"Aww, that's a sweet side of you, Gray," the white-haired woman gushes.

He ignores her comment and flips the coin, sighing in relief when it's heads down. Then the dark-haired guy whispers in Gajeel's ear.

His eyes glance between the two toughest females of Fairy Tail. "Mirajane probably…"

All eyes watch the coin land heads up.

"I asked who he would rather fight between Erza and Mirajane," the dark-haired guy states.

"I could take you up on that fight, Gajeel," the white-haired woman offers.

"Pass," he says quickly.

"Oi, fight me instead!" Natsu shouts. He prepares to stand up, but the requip mage shoots him down with a warning glare.

Ignoring the other dragon slayer, the bigger one with piercings whispers in Cana's ear.

She takes a swig of her drink before answering. "I'm keeping my magic, thank you very much!" Then the card mage flips the coin and it ends up being heads down.

"Alright, Match Maker Mirajane, let's see what you think of this!" Cana leans towards her and whispers in her ear.

Her eyes light up. "Give me a second to think about this one."

"Wow, Big Sis is actually take time," Lisanna comments. "Normally she'd answer right away."

"It was probably a deep question," Erza muses.

"From Cana?" Gray scoffs. "No way!"

"Natsu and Lucy!" the white-haired woman says with a smile.

The pair looks at one another. "What's that supposed to mean?" Lucy questions.

"Yeah, Mirajane!" the pinkette adds.

She giggles. "I'll only say depending on this coin." Then she flips it up.

Eyes watch it as it falls through the air, landing heads up on the table.

"Ha, now you gotta say it!" Natsu says triumphantly.

"I asked," the card mage begins, "who she thought would end up together first between Natsu and Lucy, Gray and Juvia, and Gajeel and Levy!"

The pairings each show their own level of embarrassment.

"C-Cana!" Levy stutters.

"But why Natsu and me?" the blonde whines.

"You two have known each other the longest," Mirajane replies.

"That is logical thinking," the requip mage agrees, nodding her head.

The white-haired woman clasps her hands together. "Plus, I think you two would be a really cute couple!"

"But what about Natsu and Lisanna?" Lucy questions. "Those two have a history together."

"But that's when we were little," the white-haired girl points out. "We've grown up since then and think differently. We're just friends now."

"Time to move off of those two," the iron dragon slayer says.

"Yeah, next question," the dark-haired guy adds.

Mirajane taps her chin before gasping and leaning towards the pinkette to whisper.

A blush forms across his cheeks and he tugs at his scarf. "Isn't that question a little too personal?"

"In the spirit of the game, you must answer it," Erza replies.

He takes a deep breath, like he's a preparing a roar attack, but speaks softly instead. "… maybe…"

Gray cups a hand around an ear. "What was that, Flame Brain? I don't think I heard you."

Natsu folds his arms across his chest and merely mutters the word again, not making direct contact with anyone.

"You still have to flip the coin, Natsu," Juvia points out.

He nearly jumps out of his skin. "Say what now?!"

"Like Erza said," the dark-haired guy begins, "in the spirit of the game, you have to."

The pinkette's eyes darts towards his partner. Then he slowly takes the coin and flips it with his thumb.

Everyone watches it carefully until it stops moving.

Natsu looks incredibly relieved the question won't be revealed then shoots the white-haired woman a look. "Would ya quit asking me questions like that?!"

She only giggles, brushing the thought away with the wave of a hand.

The pinkette pouts and returns to folding his arms under his chest. An evil grin comes across his face and he quickly leans towards Lisanna to ask her a question.

She grins. "I sure hope so!"

"Now flip that coin and make sure it's heads up!" Natsu shouts.

"Mirajane, you better watch out," the short-haired bluenette warns. "It looks like he's up to something."

Sure enough, the coin lands heads up.

"I asked if she thinks her sister will ever hook up with that lightning bastard!" the pinkette gloats loudly.

"Well, I hope so," Mirajane admits with a blush.

"Juvia hopes so too!" the water mage adds gleefully.

"Laxus and Mirajane…?" Gray muses.

The iron dragon slayer grunts. "Just imagine how the kids would be."

"All sorts of crazy!" Cana says. "Just like their mommy and daddy!"

The white-haired woman blushes even more. "It's your turn to ask a question now, Lisanna."

She thinks for a moment before whispering in the requip mage's ear.

Her face turns the shade of her hair. "I would have to say… a… passionate kiss."

"Ooo, getting into it now, huh?" the card mage jokes.

Erza flips the coin and signs in relief when its heads down. Then she looks at the faces around her before whispering Levy he question.

"Gajeel," she replies. "Gajeel for sure."

"Eh, what was that, Shrimp?" the guild member asks, eyeing her down carefully.

She laughs. "Maybe you'll find out…" Then the short-haired bluenette flips the coin.

After it lands heads up, the requip mage speaks. "I asked who she thinks would win in a battle between Natsu and Gajeel."

He grins smugly. "Damn right I'd win."

"Argh, let's go right now!" Natsu demands. "I'll take ya on and win!"

"Bring it on!" Gajeel taunts.

"There shall be no fighting," Erza scolds, silencing the two dragon slayers.

"Ask me another question like before and I'll make sure you regret it," the blonde threatens, being wary of her petite friend.

Levy chuckles and leans in to whisper in a voice that imitates a certain blue Exceed. "Do you liiiiike Natsu?"

"What did you tell you?!" Lucy demands, feeling highly embarrassed.

"Ah, ah, ah," Cana scolds, wagging a finger at the blonde. "You gotta answer the question right!"

She sighs and steals a quick glance at the pinkette before looking away. Lucy props her head up with a hand, contemplating. "… maybe…"

The short-haired bluenette gasps. "Maybe?!"

"Maybe what?" Natsu asks with interest.

"Hurry and flip the coin," the white-haired girl encourages.

The blonde takes it in her hands and flips it in the air. She actually closes her eyes and leaves them shut when the coin hits the table.

"Aww, I wanted to know what the question was," Mirajane comments glumly.

Lucy peeks her eyes open and finds the coin is heads down. She mischievously looks at her petite friend. "I warned you…" Then she leans into Juvia to whisper, "Do you think Gajeel and Levy would be a cute couple?"

She nods enthusiastically. "Juvia thinks so!"

The blonde hands her the coin. "Go for it."

The water mage flips the coin and claps when it lands heads up.

"I asked if she thinks Gajeel and Levy would make a cute couple," Lucy boasts.

The duo blushes, the short-haired bluenette more so than the iron dragon slayer.

"Th-that wasn't fair, Lu!" Levy complains.

The blonde shrugs. "Then don't ask me another question like the other two," she points out.

With a smile, Juvia leans into the dark-haired guy to ask him a question.

Gray actually loses his cool. "Wh-what?!"

"A question is a question," Lisanna comments. "And you have to answer it."

The dark-haired guy sighs bashfully. "I don't know."

The requip mage folds her arms under her chest in a disapproving way. "That is not an answer, Gray."

"Well, it kind of is," the white-haired woman says.

"Flip the damn coin already!" the card mage shouts.

Gray does and groans loudly when it lands heads up.

"Juvia asked Gray-sama if he would ever want to date Juvia!" the water mage announces.

The pinkette laughs and points at him. "Why would anybody wanna date Ice Princess?"

One of the dark-haired guy's eyes twitch. "Do you wanna go, Ash for Brains?!"

"Bring it!"

Erza glares at the two. "No. Fighting."

The two become silent.

"It's your turn Gray," Mirajane brings up.

So he asks Gajeel a question.

"What kind of question is that?!" he roars, cheeks slightly pink.

The dark-haired guy leans back for safety.

"You gotta answer the question," Cana slurs.

The iron dragon slayer crosses his arms under his chest. "I ain't answering it. It's a stupid question."

"Is there a penalty for not answering?" the short-haired bluenette asks.

"I'm sure we can bypass flipping the coin and Gray just says what his question was," the white-haired woman muses.

Gajeel quickly grabs the coin and flips it, huffing in relief when it's heads down. "Now he can't say it." Then he glares menacingly at Gray. "Don't you ever ask me anything like that again, punk!"

He just ignores the threat.

The iron dragon slayer mumbles under his breath and leans into the card mage to ask her a question.

She snorts. "No way!" Then Cana flips the coin, and it lands heads up.

Gajeel huffs. "I asked if she would help me cover up Gray's murder."

Juvia gasps. "No one is allowed to hurt my darling Gray-sama! Juvia will protect him!"

Lisanna laughs. "Okay, next question!"

A/N: I originally just was going to post this as a one-shot, but then I decided to continue it for a few more chapters! The smut will happen later so no worries about that XD Also, I'll be making a different version of this that focuses on fluff (some changes will occur in the story). Just to put a twist on things!
