Whoops

Lucy groaned loudly. Her head felt like it was splitting in half. And why was it so freaking hot? She blinked her eyes open and saw pink hair. She mentally rolled her eyes- since physically it hurt to move- of course Natsu was in her bed with her. Last night must have been crazy since she was waking up hangover and not remembering last night whatsoever, but even so he'd still made it into her bed. She pushed Natsu's arm off of her and sat up tentatively. She slowly stood up and made her way to the bathroom, it took her a few times to regain her balance. Why am I so sore? I hurt everywhere. Mavis, hangovers suck.

Lucy started a hot bath as she tried to remember last night. Fairy Tail had been celebrating... what exactly? She concentrated hard. She couldn't remember though, probably no reason in particular anyways. She reached for her clothes so she could settle into the warm water. Her hand met bare skin. Huh? Where are my clothes? Lucy gasped at the fact that she was completely nude. She ran over to the mirror to inspect herself. She gasped again when she spotted bruises all along her body. The hell?! Did I get in a fight last night? Lucy was not one to fight the others in her guild, but she had been drunk so it was possible.

Bruises enveloped her wrists. She gasped when she could see finger outlines along her skin. They covered her breasts, her thighs, her butt. She could literally trace the hands on her hips. But not only bruises... There were bite marks everywhere?! Lucy felt like she would pass out. The bruises on her neck... they looked awfully similar to hickies.. The junction of her neck and shoulders had deep teeth marks, bruised purple now. Lucy also didn't fail to notice how swollen her lips were.

Her wide, horror-stricken eyes stared back at her. This was no fight... She slowly peeked her head out the door. Natsu was snoring away on her bed. The covers laid in a clump at the end of her bed, revealing his body. He was also completely naked. Lucy clicked the door shut again. Oh Mavis... no... No no no no no. We didn't. Did we? He wouldn't... would I...?

Lucy sunk down into the warm water, splashing her face thoroughly. Perhaps this was all just a dream. There's no way they had sex. No freaking way. Especially since it looked like wild, really really good rough sex. With Natsu- no way! They were best friends! However, the bruises and the distinct soreness coming from in between her legs begged to differ. And Natsu was the naked man in her bed. Lucy tried with all her might to remember one single detail from last night. The last thing she remembered was some embarrassing drinking game she had somehow gotten dragged into.

*Flashback* (Multiple POV just to make it more interesting!)

"Lucy! You never drink with us! Come on, it'll be fun." Cana said for the millionth time. Many guild mates nodded in agreement. Lucy felt her resolve already shattering. She hadn't gotten really drunk for a long time... This once wouldn't hurt would it? And what's the worst that could happen with her nakama around? She had gotten wasted with them before, and nothing seriously bad ever happened.

"Awe, come on Luce. Join us! I won't let you do anything too stupid." Her favorite dragon slayer added with a wink. And that's what sealed the deal. How could she say no to her best friend of three years when he made puppy eyes like that?

"Oh alright. Fine. But you better carry me home if I black out!" Lucy threatened. Natsu chuckled and agreed to her terms.

"Sweet! Alright let's get this party really started!" Cana shouted. Lucy observed the other guild mates that would be playing this drinking game with them. The normal gang of Team Natsu minus Happy of course, plus Gajeel, Levy, Juvia, and Cana.

MiraJane passed around assorted alcohols, placing shots and mugs in front of people. "I think I'll join for a round or two this time!" The friends whopped for joy. Mira hardly ever drunk with them since she had to maintain the bar.

"Yes! Alright so first let's start out with the regular truth or dare. If you lightweights make it through that I got plenty more games to play!" Lucy rolled her eyes at the guild's alcoholic. Cana did have the craziest drinking games, and she only came back with more after her nights with her boyfriend Bacchus at 'Quatro Puppy'. However, Lucy was indeed a lightweight. She wouldn't get very far with this game.

"Dare is a shot. Truth is two. There's no chickening out of anything! After everyone's gone after every round, we all chug a mug of beer. Every round without a truth we all also drink some whiskey. Got it?" Cana explained the rules.

Mira squealed, "Can I go first? I'll have to get back in a bit." Everyone nodded. Mira spun the wine bottle in the middle. It pointed to Cana herself. "Truth or dare, Cana?"

Cana shrugged. She had nothing to hide, but dares were always more fun. "Dare!" She tilted the shot back. However, she instantly regretted it when she remembered this was Mira dishing out the dare. Her evil smile was actually quite terrifying.

"Call Gildarts right now. Tell him you're pregnant and hang up. And don't answer any of his other calls or try to explain anything to him!" Cana grimaced. "You tryin to give my old man a heart attack?" Mira giggled. "Hmm, I wonder... should I make you say you don't know who the father is...?" Cana snapped at her, pulling out the emergency card her father had replaced after she tore up the first one, "No! Fine she-devil. If he tears up every town coming back here you're the one dealing with Master!"

Gildarts answered immediately. "CANNAAAAA-CHAAAAANNNNNN! Daddy misses you so much! Do you miss me? I'm so glad you called your father! You never call me! Cana-chan is so mean!" Cana slammed her hand into her forehead. Overprotective fool. Although, it was also a bit endearing. She didn't know how to deal with the affection and attention she had craved all her life. "Old man. I'm pregnant. Just thought I should let you know." Cana hung up, not wanting her or others to hear his reaction. It instantly lit up again. Cana placed the card back in her deck, wondering idly if she should just tear it up again. Poor Pops was probably already racing back here to kill someone. Oh well, she'd deal with it later.

Cana glared at her chuckling guild mates. Who will fall prey to her? Mira giggled and excused herself when she was called on by Wakaba and Macao. Cana glared her down as she walked away smiling happily. Damn demon.

Cana slammed down the wine bottle. Now she was angry! She spun it to see who it landed on first. It pointed to Levy. Cana grinned as evilly as the Cheshire cat himself. "Oh ho ho. Lookie here. Let's see, Levy. Truth or dare?" Cana smirked to the small script mage. Levy's eyes were already wide with horror. Cana loved to make sexual dares that were beyond embarrassing.

Her choice was obvious. If she said dare, Cana would surely make her do something sexual to Gajeel, since everyone suspected she had a crush on him. But if she said truth, would she have to admit her feelings for him? Even after all these years, she wasn't ready for that yet. That would be even worse than a dare! Levy perked up in her seat and said determinedly, "Dare!" She drunk the shot and slammed it down to emphasize her decision.

Cana cackled. Perfect. She knew Levy would pick dare out of fear of the truth! Cana had half a mind to say 'I dare you to tell us the truth about your feelings towards Gajeel!' But maybe that would be for another time. She could aim for jealousy, but that too wasn't the right timing. This was going to be the opening sexual act. "Alright. I dare you to sit on Gajeel's lap. Facing him. And don't be polite about it! Straddle that boy!" Cana snickered as Levy turned beet red.

Levy slowly turned to Gajeel. He smirked at her and leaned back, patting his legs. "Hop on, Shrimp." Levy burned darker. That cocky asshole. She swallowed the last of her dignity and stomped over to him. She forcefully sat down on him, her short legs dangling on either side of him. He grunted and whispered to her, "Bit eager there, aren't ya?" She crossed her arms and turned her red face away. She glared at Cana. She was out for revenge now. "Cana, how long do I have to sit like this?"

Cana grinned widely. "Until someone makes you do something else, of course." Levy huffed, she thought the answer would be as much. She turned her little body and spun the bottle with an angry twist. It pointed at Natsu. Now it was Levy's turn to smile evilly. "Natsu! Truth or dare?"

Natsu emptied the small shot. "Dare of course." Levy smiled. She might be sorry for this later, but it would be worth it. "Kiss Lu-chan!" Lucy screeched at the dare and spun to stare in horror at her best girl friend. "WHAT?!" Everyone chuckled. Levy continued, "You heard me Natsu! No backing out. And when I say kiss I mean it. Get your tongue in there. It has to be at least one minute or you have to restart! I'm timing it!"

Natsu gulped nervously. There had been rare occasions when his and Lucy's lips collided, but it had not been on purpose. He didn't deny that he had wondered what it would be like to kiss her. But he really didn't have experience with these things... what if she found it repulsive? No. He set a determined look on his face. He was gonna make this the best kiss she's ever had. She'd be begging for more!

Lucy struggled to swallow when Natsu turned to her with an unwavering expression. No way out. Well, it was a dare...

Natsu grabbed her shoulders and stared into her eyes. Lucy felt her heart pounding away in her chest as her breathing sped up. Natsu was about to kiss her. Her best friend was going to kiss her! She'd never been kissed before. Not for real. What if she messed it up? She only vaguely noted the whistles and jeers of her comrades. She was focused solely on Natsu. His hand slid up her neck and cupped her cheek, tilting her head back as he lowered his lips closer to hers. She let her eyes flutter shut as soft warmth brushed her lips lightly. She felt like that the small brush was a spark, and then a fire exploded between their mouths. His smooth lips moved against hers expertly, molding them together. How the hell was he so good at this? Lucy found herself winding her arms around his neck to pull him closer. She felt his arms encircling her as well. It felt... rather safe.

She gasped slightly when his wet tongue slivered against her bottom lip, asking for entrance. She barely parted her lips- she already felt so much was happening, could she really also deal with his tongue inside her? But he crammed his way through, opening her mouth wider. She gasped again at the foreign feeling of his hot, wet tongue invading her mouth. His tongue traced her teeth, rubbed along her cheeks, and beckoned her own tongue to play too. She felt Natsu pull her even closer, she was pressed up against his hard body. She dug her fingers into his hair and tugged slightly- was it always so soft? She let her tongue glide easily with his. It was a strange feeling, but it wasn't bad. Just new. Kissing him felt more natural than she thought it would. And Mavis it also felt so damn good. Why hadn't they done this before?

All too soon, he pulled away from her. She gasped once again when she felt his fang-like teeth pulling her lower lip as he retreated. Lucy couldn't help the wanton moan that gurgled up out of her. He rested his forehead against hers as they both struggled to regain the oxygen in their lungs. Lucy opened her eyes to see his black eyes staring into hers. There was some raw emotion in his eyes that she couldn't exactly pinpoint. However she felt that her eyes probably mirrored his. This look sent pleasant chills down her spine. What was this feeling in her chest...?

"Get a room!" Cana shouted. Lucy blushed darker than Erza's hair and quickly released herself from Natsu's hold. She realized that the whole guild had stopped to watch them, and she grimaced when she saw a few had cameras.

"Juvia thinks love rival is a better match for Natsu than Gray-sama!" Juvia smiled warmly, but with a weird gleam in her crazed eyes. Levy cheered and clapped, "That was waaayyyy longer than one minute! Good job Natsu!" Levy blushed when Gajeel leaned in her ear and whispered something.

Gray snickered, "Who knew ash brains actually knew how to kiss a girl?" Natsu growled at him, "Shut up stripper. That was the best kiss Lucy's ever had!" Erza turned to Lucy. Instead of being enraged with Natsu for taking advantage of her (since really, Lucy had been taking just as much advantage of the situation and looked to be rather enjoying herself) Erza was quite amused. "Lucy? Is this true?"

Lucy flushed even darker. With no actual experience, it was obviously the best. But even with no comparison Lucy knew it was good. He was a damn good kisser. She nodded slightly, not trusting her voice. She avoided Natsu's piercing gaze, although she didn't miss his cocky smile. She held her hands over her face, wishing Natsu would just spin the bottle and get attention off of her.

And he did just that. Natsu reached for the bottle, letting it spin furiously until it landed on... Erza. "Truth or dare?" Erza stood up, emptying a shot. "Dare."

Natsu rubbed his hands together. "I dare you to battle with Laxus!" Fully recovered now, Lucy sputtered, "Are you trying to wreck the guild?!" Natsu huffed and crossed his arms. "I just wanna know who's the strongest..." Lucy shook her head, exasperated. Was strength all he cared about? She said, "You forgot about MiraJane though. She's also here and an S-class mage." Natsu thought, "Well yeah. But she retired already. And I don't think Laxus would ever hit Mira. So I'll stick with Erza!"

Lucy giggled. It was odd that even someone as dense as Natsu could tell Laxus had a soft spot for the barmaid. MiraJane was the only one he didn't glare at all the time, and he even laughed with her sometimes. No, he probably wouldn't be able to fight her seriously.

Erza drew out her sword. "I understand my dare. I shall carry it out." She stomped over to where Laxus was sitting at the bar, drinking and chatting with Master. Master's eyes bugged out of his head when he saw Erza pointing a sword at his grandson's throat. Nobody could hear the conversation going on between the mages. Laxus stood up smirking and rolling up his sleeves. But before anything else, Master had them both in the clutches of his large giant hands. His voice roared out, "I FORBID YOU TWO TO FIGHT IN THE GUILD."

The guild laughed and shook their heads. Erza wasn't usually the one bucking for a fight. The small drinking group all chuckled, of course Master wouldn't let them fight. Two S-class mages like that would tear up the town in a matter of minutes. Erza retreated to the table, looking defeated. "I apologize Natsu. I am unable to carry out my dare, due to Master's orders." Natsu smiled, "Yeah I figured as much! It was worth a shot though. Let's continue the game!"

*end flashback*

The game continued on into the night, everyone getting more and more drunk, the dares getting more riskier and sexual. Lucy's memory was getting a bit blurry on everything as well, due to more consumption of alcohol. She vaguely remembered Gray and Juvia being locked into the closet together. At some point, her shirt had come off- she blushed at the memory of Natsu staring at her after that. Baccus had arrived sometime later already drunk, and him and Cana eventually disappeared. Lucy giggled. What if Cana really did get pregnant?! Gildarts would be furious. She remembered someone forced Erza to act on the stage, her face was priceless. Gajeel and Levy ended up on the stage too, Levy was dressed in a sexy bunny outfit and had to dance to Gajeel's horrible singing. Lucy felt her face burning when she remembered being dared to give Natsu a lap dance. As if she knew how to even do such an embarrassing thing!

Lucy pulled at her hair. That stupid game had been building up the sexual tension between them, and that's what led to the evidence covering her body! Lucy was at a loss. Would Natsu remember? What were they now...? Would they start dating, or would it just be a mistake that they had to forget about? Hell, did she even want to date him?

She considered it. Natsu was her absolute best friend. She always had a tiny crush on him since they met- he was handsome with a smoking hot bod, along with other wonderful characteristics. He always made her laugh, gave her hope, taught her what the meaning of family was. They were nakama, team mates, partners, best friends... Should they risk their close relationship to be lovers? What if it didn't work out? But...what she could remember from last night, albeit embarrassing, it also felt like the most natural and perfect thing. It felt so right. She wondered if last night hadn't happened, then something else would have, and they'd have to face this decision eventually. She trusted him with her life, she couldn't imagine going a day without him, and she wouldn't stand for it if this made their friendship awkward. What were her actual feelings though? Of course he was attractive, loyal and caring, and he would treat her right, he would put her first and do anything for her, she could trust him with every part of her life, not a day would pass as being boring...and he was actually absolutely perfect and how the hell did she not realize this before? She was in love with him.

Lucy gasped. She was in love with him. It seemed like the most obvious thing, as if it was a universally known fact and she was an idiot for not knowing it already. Like, duh Lucy. She'd always had this feeling in her heart, but now she knew what the feeling was. Love.

Then Lucy's heart gave a painful twist in her heart. What about him? How did he feel about her? Sure they apparently just spent a night of passion together, but they were drunk. It didn't really count, right? Did he feel the same? Would he need time to figure it out like she did, did he possibly love her all this time? Or did he not love her at all... Was it just sex? Lucy shook her head. That couldn't be right. She knew Natsu. Even wasted, he wouldn't have taken advantage of her. He never would have done this if it were someone else. It was because it was her. But maybe he was just comfortable with her? No! Lucy shook her head again, trying to stop the doubt from creeping up on her.

She would just have to ask him. That's it! She stood up from her bath and reached for her towel. She shrieked and slipped from the slick tub when her door shot open unexpectedly. She landed in the most awkward position. She had barely caught her face from slamming into the ground by throwing her hands out in front of her. Her legs were still in the tub, flung out in order to balance herself. Her entire underside crotch area would be visible to the doorway...

She heard an intake of breath and the door slammed shut. Lucy got up from the ground, wow was she sore. That must have been some rough sex. It also happened to be her first time, and he probably hadn't been sober enough to be gentle with her. She quickly patted herself dry and wrapped the towel around her body. The bruises and bites were still visible, but she would have to tell him anyways if he didn't put it together himself.

She slowly opened the door. "Natsu...?" She saw him pacing back and forth by her bed. He hadn't gotten dressed... Lucy gulped. She eyed his manhood- how the hell had that actually fit inside her?!

"L-Luce? What happened? I have a bad feeling... I'm naked and sticky, and the bed has blood on it, and I can't remember anything..." He looked at her with anxiety and confusion written all over his features. Lucy sighed. Yeah, he would need more help putting it together. Well, she could show him. She stepped closer to him. "Natsu. Look." She dropped the towel around her body. Even though she felt incredibly vulnerable, he had already seen it lots of times, and now he'd already explored it too.

He gasped in horror. He shakily reached out to touch the bruises on her body. He grimaced when he saw his hands perfectly fit the outlines of them. "Did... I do this to you?" Lucy chuckled a little bit. "Well I sure hope there isn't another naked guy laying in my apartment somewhere. You're the one in my bed. I'm pretty sure it was you." Natsu stared at her. "You don't remember?" Lucy furrowed her eyebrows. "No. Not a thing. Do you?" Natsu shook his head. "No..."

Lucy covered her body again. Natsu's stare and light touches were making her skin tingle. Was the room getting hotter? Lucy couldn't help her eyes wondering to Natsu's gloriously naked toned body. She gasped slightly when she saw he also had some battle wounds. His torso was covered in love marks and bites, his arms and shoulders had imprints of nails scratching along them. She made Natsu turn around so she could continue inspecting him. She gapped when she saw the scratches all along his back- they had drawn blood in some places. Lucy's face heated with the fact that she was the one who left those marks.

Natsu gave her a strange look, "So... did we...?" Lucy nodded. "That's what the evidence points to. We had sex." Natsu covered his face with his hands. "I- Shit. I'm sorry Luce." Lucy shook her head. "It's not entirely your fault. It takes two, idiot. And we were drunk..." Natsu grimaced. "What if I did it by force?" Lucy actually laughed at his concern. "No way. You see those marks all over your body? I obviously enjoyed myself." Lucy flushed as she said the words. Damn she wished she could remember.

"Why don't you go take a shower Natsu? Think things over, clear your head a bit. We can talk about this later." Natsu nodded his head and retreated to the bathroom. He had a lot to think about.
