[splendidlyimperfect]

dude,,,,dude,,,, stinguegratsu ot4 and "i'm too sober for this" please,,,,

This was way too much fun to write, oh my god. 

Pairing: Natsu/Gray/Sting/RoguePrompt: “I am way too sober for this.”

“I am way too sober for this.”

Rogue crosses his arms over his chest as he watches Sting and Natsubelting out ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart,’ giggling drunkenly and leaningagainst each other while they sing.

Gray, who is only slightly more sober than the two of them, raisesan eyebrow at Rogue.

“What, you don’ wanna embarrass yourself in front of everyone?”Gray asks, leaning forward on the couch and wrapping an arm around Rogue’swaist. He presses a sloppy kiss to Rogue’s cheek and Rogue sighs, running hisfingers affectionately through Gray’s hair.

“You know I don’t sing, love,“ he says, kissing Gray’s head.“Besides, the two of them are embarrassing themselves enough for the four ofus.”

Yukino appears behind them, plate of hors d’ouevres in her hand.Gray takes a couple, giving her an tipsy smile.

“You don’t regret the karaoke machine yet?” Rogue asks. Yukinolaughs as Natsu and Sting move on to a pop song that Rogue vaguely recognizesfrom Sting’s ‘dancing while cleaning’ playlist. “Your new neighbors might notbe too fond of you,” Rogue adds, rolling his eyes.

“That’s why they’re all here,” Yukino says, gesturing around thenew house at the crowd of unfamiliar faces. “I figured they wouldn’t be so putout by a party if they were invited to it.”

“Good plan,” Rogue says, looking around. He knows a couple ofpeople here as regulars at the café, but the rest of them are strangers.

“Also, your boyfriends are adorably entertaining,” Yukino adds,giving Rogue a sweet smile before heading off to mingle with the rest of theguests.

Gray snuggles up to Rogue, slipping under his arm and moving untilhe’s practically in Rogue’s lap. He tips his head back and gives Rogue anadoring look, and Rogue enjoys the softness in Gray’s normally guardedexpression.  

“You’re affectionate tonight,” Rogue murmurs in Gray’s ear. Grayhums happily and nuzzles Rogue’s neck.

“’s cause I love you,” he says simply, taking a sip of his beer.“An’ I’ve had… a few of these.” He looks up at Rogue, then at the kitchenwhere some people Rogue don’t recognize are mixing drinks. “They’ve got that-the tequila you like.”

“Oh?” Rogue raises his eyebrows.

“Y-yeah, the- remember when we played ‘Never Have I Ever’, an-andNatsu said he wanted to-”

“Yes, I remember,” Rogue interrupts, laughing and kissing Gray’sforehead.

“’s that stuff,” Gray says.

“I’m driving us home, remember?” Rogue shakes his head.

“Pff.” Gray waves his hand. “’s what Uber is for.”

Rogue laughs, giving only a mild protest as Gray stands up and dragshim to his feet, then into the kitchen for a drink.

“Who gave Rogue tequila?” Natsu pokes Gray, who looks up at himwith a sheepish grin. Natsu rolls his eyes, flopping down on the couch next toGray and leaning against his shoulder.

“You smell like candy,” Gray says, resting his head on Natsu’s.

“Mm. Sting got me to try somethin’… it was pink?” Natsu frowns,gesturing vaguely toward the kitchen. “Tasted like Skittles.” He turns to Grayand grins. “Wanna try it?”

Before Gray can protest, Natsu kisses him, and to Gray’s surprise,he does taste like Skittles. Gray hums appreciatively, running his fingersthrough Natsu’s hair and enjoying the kiss for a moment before Natsu’s firstquestion catches up to his slightly addled brain.

“Wait.” Gray pulls back from Natsu, trying not to look at how pinkhis lips are. “Why- how’d you know Rogue had th-the tequila?”

Natsu doesn’t respond, just points over to where Rogue is standingwith Lucy, who is laughing at something he said and gesturing at the karaokemachine. Gray’s eyes widen when, instead of vehemently protesting, Rogue nodsand wraps an arm around Lucy’s shoulders.

“Oh, shit,” Gray whispers.

“What’d you do now?” Sting asks, appearing on Gray’s other side andkissing his cheek. He follows Gray’s gaze over to the karaoke machine and burstsout laughing.

“Man, he’s gonna regret this tomorrow,” Sting says. “Do we stop himor film him?”

Natsu already has his phone out. Gray thinks about smacking it outof his hands, then recalls the dozens of embarrassing videos of himself in thegroup chat, and lets Natsu hit ‘record.’

“If he sings ‘The Black Parade’ I’m gonna die,” Natsugiggle-whispers, camera shaky in his hands. Gray snorts, but Sting shakes hishead.

“Mm. Tequila-drunk Rogue likes country music.”

Both Gray and Natsu turn to Sting, frowning at him with twinexpressions of inebriated disbelief.

“Rogue,” Natsu says slowly, looking back over at their boyfriend,“likes country music.”

“Our Rogue?” Gray adds, squinting at Sting and wondering exactlyhow much all of them have had to drink. “Our boyfriend? You can’t-”

And then the music starts, and Gray realizes with incredulous amusementthat Sting is right.

“Holy shit,” Natsu whispers as Rogue and Lucy began to sing. “He’sgonna- he’ll murder us tomorrow.” He keeps filming, and adds, “totally worthit.”

Gray has heard Rogue sing before, obviously – in the shower, orunder his breath while they cook – but never like this. The song is twangy,distinctly country, catchy as hell, and Rogue sounds… well, amazing. His voice isdeep and rich and – considering how much he’s had to drink – surprisingly inkey.

“C’mere.” Sting reaches down for Gray’s hands, and before Gray canprotest, Sting pulls him to his feet. Gray frowns as Sting places a hand onGray’s waist, then takes a step back. “Dance with me?” he asks softly, givingGray the sweet, sunshine smile he can never refuse. “Please?”

“Only ‘cause you’re… ‘cause you said please, an’ you’re theprettiest,” Gray says, leaning in and kissing the pink flush that creeps acrossSting’s cheeks.

Luckily, two-stepping doesn’t require too much coordination oreffort on Gray’s part, and the two of them move around the living room to the soundof Rogue singing. Gray lets the words wash over him, enjoying the voice that herarely gets to hear.

Youand me goin’ fishin’ in the darklying on our backs and countin’ the stars, where the cool grass grows

Sting’s hands are warm beneath Gray’s, and everyone else in theliving room seems to fade away as they step around empty plates and manage notto crash into the coffee table. Sting’s steps are smooth, and Gray can feel theheat of Sting’s fingers on his hip.  

Downby the river in the full moonlightwe’ll be falling in love in the middle of the night, just moving slow

“Rogue’s gonna kill Natsu tomorrow,” Sting comments mildly, gesturingover to the sofa where Natsu is moving the camera between the two of themdancing, and Rogue singing. Gray feels like he should probably be annoyed, butNatsu is giggling with Yukino, and Gray loves Natsu’s laugh.

“Mm,” Gray says quietly, leaning forward and resting his head onSting’s shoulder. “But- he’s good. Rogue is. His voice, it’s- really pretty.”Sting hums in agreement. “He should- should sing for us more.”

Stayin’the whole night throughfeels so good to be with you

As the music fades away, Gray kisses Sting, then looks over atRogue. Rogue’s cheeks are flushed and he’s got his bangs pushed out of hisface, showing off his wide smile. When Rogue looks over at them, Gray thinks hecould get lost forever in the dark of Rogue’s eyes.

“You’re a sappy drunk,” Sting murmurs, and Gray realizes that hesaid that out loud. He’s about to protest when Rogue moves over to them, andhe’s so fucking gorgeous that Gray really doesn’t give a shit what anybody elsethinks.

“Hey, baby,” Gray says softly, grabbing Rogue’s shirt and pullinghim in for a kiss. Rogue tastes like liquor, like salt and tequila and Gray’salmost desperate for it, licking at Rogue’s lips as he brushes his fingersthrough Rogue’s hair.

“We do have an audience,” Sting reminds them, and Gray feels hischeeks flush hot as he pulls back from Rogue, glancing over at where some ofYukino’s coworkers are staring at them and giggling. Sober Gray would probablyhave the decency to be embarrassed, but right now, drunk Gray’s not interestedin anybody but his boyfriends.

“You’ve got a pretty voice,” he says to Rogue, kissing him oncemore as Sting squeezes his hand and then returns to the couch where Natsu andYukino are laughing over the video. “You should sing more often.”

“Hm.” Rogue rubs his nose against Gray’s, running his thumbs overGray’s cheekbones. “This is…” He pauses for a second, frowning as if waitingfor his thoughts to catch up. “All of this is- it’s your fault.”

Gray snorts, letting out a sound that definitely isn’t a giggle.

“I’m serious!” Rogue says, placing both hands on either side ofGray’s face and staring at him intently. “You…”

Gray tips his head to the side, and they stare intently at eachother for several seconds before Rogue shrugs, whatever he’d been going to sayforgotten.

“Hey, you two!” They both turn to Natsu, who’s grinning at themfrom the couch. “How ‘bout you give us an encore?”

“They are going to hate themselvestomorrow,” Natsu whispers, trying his best to hold his phone still as he films Rogueand Gray. “I love it.”

Sting is giggling hysterically with his head in Natsu’s lap – the Jelloshots have finally caught up to him – and Yukino is sprawled halfway over Sting’slegs, sipping on her beer.

“I mean, they’re not bad,” she admits, tipping her bottle towardthem. They’ve moved on to Shania Twain now, and Natsu can’t keep it together asGray turns to him drunkenly and sings, he’sgotta be a heartbeatin’, fire-breathin’, breathtakin’, earthquakin’ kiiiiiiind…any man of mine…

“I am living for this,”Natsu cackles, bringing his hand down to Sting’s hair and running his fingersthrough it. Sting makes a purring sound and pushes his head up into the touchas he taps out the beat on Yukino’s thighs.

“You should- you need t’ have parties more oft’n,” Sting mumbles atYukino, who laughs and kisses him on the forehead. “I like them singin’. ’snice.”

“It is,” Natsu says, voice suddenly soft. The music fades into thebackground, and Natsu blinks, looking down at Sting fondly. Sting gazes back upat him, adoration written over his face, and Natsu leans down to kiss him.

When he looks back up, Rogue and Gray are laughing so hard they’renearly falling over, a new ridiculous song playing in the background that theydon’t quite know the lyrics for, so they’re making up the words as they go.

Natsu keeps the camera rolling, know that while it will embarrassthe hell out of Gray and Rogue, Natsu will treasure how happy and carefree theylook for a long, long time. His boyfriends do kind of look like idiots upthere, but they’re his idiots, andall Natsu can do is smile.
