Chapter 372 - Planning (1/2)

”Ngh...” Levy g.r.o.a.n.e.d as she slowly regained her consciousness, her head feeling like someone had used it as a drum while her body felt heavy and sluggish, and the inside of her mouth felt dry and rough.

”What happened...?” She g.r.o.a.n.e.d groggily as she tried to recall the events of the night before.

The first thing she recalled was of course watching Gajeel being taken by that bitch while he called her a 'pathetic attention whore', and then running out to cry by herself. Though it was almost a blur after that, she recalled Alex coming out to comfort her before eventually heading back to the guild, and grabbing the nearest bottle of alcohol she could find.

With everything else after that a blank, Levy pushed herself up from the bed with the intention of going and getting herself a glass of water, but she quickly forgot about that when she noticed her current situation. Firstly she was completely n.a.k.e.d under the covers, which was secondary in her mind when she realized she wasn't alone in the bed.

”Oh. My. God...” Levy muttered as she realized that she had been hugged up uncomfortably close to Alex's b.a.r.e c.h.e.s.t with her n.a.k.e.d body, so much so that even as she pushed herself up one of her hands was against his impossibly hard abs.

”What the hell did I do last night?!” She cried out in not-so-minor panic.

***

*The night before*

”Gesh meh more boosh!” Levy slurred heavily as she demanded yet more alcohol, earning several looks of both pity and sympathy at her plight. The ones who seemed the most upset about Levy's behavior was Lucy, Jet, and Droy, the latter two of which had been a part of her team, Shadow Gear, before her and Gajeel started getting closer.

It had been a while since she and Alex returned, and as they continued using Kuroka's familiar to explore the enemy stronghold Levy had downed as much alcohol as she could, slurring Gajeel's name every so often. No one could blame her of course after what they had witnessed earlier.

Those who weren't worried about Levy were focused on the image Kuroka projected for them, where she explored almost the entire castle that was their opponents base. What surprised Alex the most was that their hideout didn't appear to be at a specific location, but the entire castle was situated in the middle of the ocean itself.

”No wonder no one could ever figure out where they were based at...” Bob, guild master of Blue Pegasus muttered to himself in realization. Naturally when Darius and the dark guilds started gaining power there had numerous teams sent to try and defeat them, but either they couldn't find a single trace of Darius's seat of power, or anyone who might have never returned.

The information obtained through Kuroka's familiar had answered a lot of questions that they had been asking for years, and then some. The most crucial piece of information they gained though was the last one, when Kuroka's familiar finally discovered the throne room, where Darius himself was waiting.

”Hm?” Darius stirred from sorting through all of the information he had gained from absorbing Acnologia when he noticed a presence, only for no one to be there.

”Must be my imagination...” He muttered to himself, before closing his eyes once more.

”That was close.” Kuroka said as her familiar quickly escaped from the throne room where it had almost been discovered by Darius, despite its stealth capabilities.

Deciding to leave it at that for the night, especially with how late it already was, she then called the familiar back to her side.

”Nyan?” The black cat meowed cutely when it found itself back in it's mistress's arms, before Kuroka began scratching it under its chin as a reward for a job well done.

”Who's a good kitty?” Kuroka cooed at the cat, before Alex said,

”You both are.” He then began to scratch Kuroka under her chin like she was her familiar, resulting in two cats filling the guild hall with the sounds of their purring. While the few remaining members left in the hall were staring at them, lucy and Mirajane were trying to take care of the very drunk Levy.

”Come on levy, it's time to go for the night...”

”I shtill wansh to shrink though...” She slurred heavily, making both girls sigh as they tried to get her to cooperate.

”Just bring her to the house with us, then you can keep an eye on her until she sobers up.” Lucy nodded and tried to get Levy to go with her, but Mirajane and Erza paused before the latter nervously asked,

”Does that include us?” Alex nodded and said,

”Yeah, I want you two to take this time to get to know everyone a little better while I talk to the guild masters about a few things real quick.” Though the duo initially nodded in understanding, when they then thought of Alex 'getting to know them better', their faces turned completely red as they wondered if he'd try to ravage them that very night.

Seeing this, Alex shook his head in exasperation before saying,

”Don't worry, after what we saw earlier even I'm not in the mood tonight. Tomorrow however.....I can't make any promises.” Punctuating his words with a suggestive smile, the girl's embarrassment returned in full force as they quickly followed the rest out of the guild, with Levy in tow.

It wasn't until about fifteen minutes later that Alex himself finally left the guild hall, exhaling a tired sigh as he did so. It had been a fairly long day, and with no 'fun' planned that night he was looking forward to snuggling up with Sun as she hummed him to sleep.

Naturally things wouldn't go so smoothly, as, the second Alex opened the door to the temporary house, a pair of still warm p.a.n.t.i.e.s hit him in the face while catching onto his wild hair.

”Heehee, goaaaaaaaal.” Levy cried out before stumbling to the side, completely n.a.k.e.d.

”What's going on here?” Alex asked as he pulled the p.a.n.t.i.e.s off of his face, only to see that Levy wasn't the only one n.a.k.e.d.

”Uh- um, welcome back....” Mirajane struggled to get out as she also tried to get the still drunk Levy under control alongside Erza and Lucy, despite the fact that the former two were also completely n.a.k.e.d. Lucy, the only one still wearing clothes, then tried to say while also struggling with Levy,

”I went to try and get a bed in one of the spare rooms set up for Levy, but when I came back the two of them were already n.a.k.e.d for some reason and Levy began stripping as well when she saw them.” As she too began to pointedly look at the duo as if to ask why they had stripped, Erza awkwardly said,

”Um, Ms. Kuroka said that you always expect some of your servants to welcome you home n.a.k.e.d, and that it was our turn as the newest members...” Though Alex c.o.c.ked an eyebrow when he heard Erza refer to Kuroka as 'Ms. Kuroka', he remained silent for a moment as he unabashedly took in the view of the two pieces of art exposed before his eyes.

Erza and Mirajane squirmed slightly under Alex's gaze as they also fought the urge to cover themselves, neither one having felt such shame before. Mirajane had worked several times as a gravure model in the past as part of her being Fairy Tail's poster girl, but all of her most private areas had always been covered in one form or another, meaning this was the first time she was laying everything b.a.r.e for a man.

Erza on the other hand seemed to typically have no shame, regularly taking baths with Natsu and Gray even recently, however as fellow guild mates she had never actually saw them as anything more than her troublesome little brothers. Alex on the other hand was someone she knew for a fact she was going to enter into a s.e.x.u.a.l relationship with due to her accepting his Evil Piece, making her exceptionally conscious of their positions as man and woman.

As he took in Erza's appearance, from her b.r.e.a.s.ts that rivaled Lucy's in size to the neatly trimmed strip of scarlet hair crowing her pubic area, Alex couldn't help but imagine the various plays he could do with her later due to Erza's role as a knight. Then there was Mirajane, who's activities as a gravure model ensured she remained fit and perfectly proportioned, while the adventurous side of Alex couldn't help but imagine what s.e.x with her transformed state was like, though he kept in mind that he'd have to keep her sadistic tendencies in check as well.

Only taking a second or two to admire the view and fantasize a little bit, Alex then said,

”Unfortunately Kuroka was just messing with you since I don't have a such a rule in place, buuuuuut-” He then stepped towards them suddenly and reached out to smack their asscheeks, before grabbing onto them and pulling both girls closer while continuing, ”-maybe I should make such a rule.”

Erza struggled as she resisted the urge to smack Alex's hand away when she felt his fingers methodically knead her a.s.s, while Mirajane just continued to fidget embarrassedly under his grip until,

”Whash about me?” A slurred voice suddenly asked, making the three of them look over before all the tension and embarrassment evaporated on the spot.

Laying with her face against the ground and her a.s.s in the air, Levy wiggled her b.u.t.t back and forth inviting towards Alex, making him shake his head before saying firmly, ”No Levy, I'm not going to take advantage of you like that.”

The entire time he had ogling Erza and Mirajane, Alex had been pointedly ignoring Levy's n.a.k.e.d figure as well since he didn't want to feel as if he was taking advantage of her current situation. The girl herself g.r.o.a.n.e.d at his excuse, and slurred,

”Why not? I'm noshing but a little shomthing shomthing whore, aren't I?” Struggling to recall what exactly Gajeel had called her, Levy focused on him referring to her as a 'whore' as she then reached back with one hand and spread her b.u.t.t cheeks apart for Alex.

Refusing to even look at the offer more than he had to, Alex walked around her until he was above Levy's head, making her look up at him with tears of confusion in her eyes. Alex then knelt down and placed his palm again her temple, before saying in a firm voice,

”Sleep.” In an instant Levy's eyes closed as she collapsed to the side on the floor, before Alex gently picked her up and held her out to Erza.

”Take her to the spare bedroom and stay there with Lucy and Mirajane for tonight, we'll talk more in the morning when she's sober.” Erza nodded solemnly as she followed Lucy's lead to the room she prepared, before the summoner used the dial on the outside of the doorframe to set the room for four people, thanks to Lala installing the same tech used for the Love Room in the house.

With the rest of the girls in their own spare bedrooms for the night, Alex made his way to the main bedroom where a certain siren was waiting for him. Opening the door, Alex found Sun sitting up on the bed in a matching set of sky blue pajamas with clouds on them. Greeting him with a large smile, Sun patted her l.a.p and asked,

”Ready for bed?” Alex smiled warmly at his little siren, and replied as he stripped off his outer clothes,

”You have no idea.” With only a pair of shorts remaining, Alex crawled onto the bed as well before gently laying his head in Sun's l.a.p.

”You were amazing today.” Alex said as he laid down, referring to her role in the battle to help the allied guilds.

”Hmm-” Humming lightly and soothingly in response, Sun smiled as she began to play with Alex's hair slightly with one hand while the other started to lightly rub his c.h.e.s.t.

This was their usual ritual whenever Sun would sleep with him, as her role was more to help Alex feel comfort and relax without the usual s.e.x.u.a.l activities. And as usual, as Sun continued to lightly massage him Alex's breathing eventually became more steady as his eyes also started closing, until Sun believed that he was completely asleep. Smiling slightly at his sleeping expression, Sun moved a strand of her hair out of her face before she quickly leaned over and lightly planted her lips against Alex's.

Unlike the first time she did this, when she acted as if the brief intimate contact had shocked her, Sun drew out the kiss for several seconds before slowly drawing away from Alex's lips with a small smile on her face. She then began to the slowly and carefully extract her legs from under Alex's head, replacing them with a real pillow before she snuggled up to his side.

”Goodnight.” She whispered before closing her eyes as well, right as the edges of Alex's own lips curled up in a minuscule smile of his own at her actions. Soon though he returned to the realm of dreams as his consciousness drifted away, until he was roused a couple hours later by someone entering the room.

Thinking it was one of the girls trying to get in a midnight visit, Alex was about to tell them to back to bed when he noticed that it wasn't actually any of them that had intruded, but Levy. Groaning softly at the cliche of getting lost or mistaking beds when half asleep, Alex was about to use Spatial magic to return her to her room as she started climbing into his bed, but paused when she quietly whimpered,

”Gajeel....”

Faltering slightly, Alex eventually canceled his magic before muttering in the best impersonation of Gajeel he could muster,

”I'm right here short stuff.” Immediately Levy smiled in her sleep as she snuggled closer to him, making Alex sigh as he tried to go back to sleep himself.

***

”What the hell did I do last night?!” Levy cried out as she desperately tried to recall what she did through her headache, but only drew a blank.

”Morning.” Alex g.r.o.a.n.e.d as he woke up from Levy's shout, while Sun still slumbered at his side. With her being covered by the blankets, as well as the shorts Alex was still wearing, all Levy saw was the two of them sharing a bed together n.a.k.e.d, which could only mean one thing.

”Nonononononono, this can't be happening-!” As she tried to deny what was assumed from the evidence before her, Levy also began trying to back away from Alex until she inevitably reached the edge of the bed, and fell backwards.

”Ow....” She g.r.o.a.n.e.d as the sudden movement and impact sent another throb of pain through her skull, making her ignore the fact that she had landed with her legs spread in a perfect M. Shaking his head at her, Alex summoned a glass of water and offered it to her while saying,

”Drink. Now.” With her head throbbing and her mouth and throat practically burning, Levy didn't even argue as she accepted the glass of water before downing the entire thing. For the next minute or so Levy focused only on the water she was chugging, as Alex handed her another two glasses before eventually asking,

”Better?” Levy nodded slightly despite the fact that her head was still throbbing, before Alex continued,

”Good, and you'll be happy to know that nothing happened between us so there's nothing to feel guilty about. However if you continue to show it off then I'll have to take it as an invitation though.” As he said that Alex's voice adopted a teasing tone as he looked down at her with a gaze as if he was appraising art.

Realizing once more about her lack of dress, Levy hurriedly buried her hands over her exposed p.u.s.s.y before crying out,

”Don't look at me!” Shaking his head yet again, Alex said,

”Down the hall three doors on the right is the room that you started in with Lucy, Erza, and Mirajane.” The words were barely out of his mouth before Levy was out the door running, giving him a perfect view of her a.s.s as she left, which he didn't hesitate to admire since she was no longer drunkenly trying to get his attention like she had the night before.

He then turned his attention to the surprisingly still sleeping siren, making him wonder if she was more tired than she let on after using her songs for so long on so many people. Deciding to let her sleep in, Alex stealthily planted a kiss on her lips this time before sneaking out the door, and sent a message to Lucy, Erza, and Mirajane before deliberating which of the girls he was going to drag into the bath with him.

Meanwhile Levy was panting as she tried to calm down from having 'escaped' a man's room n.a.k.e.d, where her three guild mates were stirring from their own sleep.

”Levy? What happened?!” Lucy asked once she saw that her friend was leaning against the door as she tried to catch her breath, while completely n.a.k.e.d again with the pajamas she had painstakingly put on her the night before laying discarded on the floor.

”I-I don't know Lucy... I just remember being so sad about Gajeel, picking up a bottle last night, and then I just woke up in another man's bed...” As if she hadn't heard Alex's confirmation that 'nothing happened', tears began forming at the corners of Levy's eyes as Lucy went to comfort her friend, while she simultaneously checked the message she received from Alex telling her not to tell Levy about her trying to seduce him the night before.
