Thunder on the soul: Part 2
BY: IceDragonSlayerEmi791 & BellaOfFairyTail
Chapter 1
It's had been thirteen long years since we had last checked in with out heroines from fairy tail. A lot can happen in 13 yrs. Both Bella and Sage had become wives and mothers. Bella In particular had a two children Elara and then ten months later along came Exodus. For Sage, her and Bickslow already had the twins Kyson and Kira. They were the first pure blood seith mages born in Over 100 years. Most seith mages tended to steer clear of each other, fearing the consequences of what their combined magic might do. That and the fact that they were such a rare type of mage to find.
As for Bella and Laxus, they weren't sure what type of magic their children would inherit from them. Be it Bella's destruction magic or Laxus lightning dragon slayer magic. It wouldn't be long until their magic would blossom, quite like Sage's daughter Kira had a few months back. Now Kyson on the other hand was a different story. He had yet to show any magical abilities. Though it is true girls mature faster than boys.
Now many things have happened to our seith mage couple. Sage being sought after, attacked, kidnapped, even raped. There were so many trials and tribulations that should have tore the couple apart. Even with such a rocky start their love had only grown stronger for one another. They felt blessed to have the twins, considering so much had happened to them before they were even born. It made them a little apprehensive about having another child. Though that's exactly what happened unexpectedly when the twins turned seven, little Keva was born. She was currently seven and was the most inquisitive little girl you've ever met.
Bella hadn't had any more children after Exodus was born. They had planned to have another, but plans changed when Laxus took over at the seventh Fairy Tail guild master. That's right. Makarov had stepped down and turned it over to his grandson.
Now the rest of the guild started having children around the same time as Sage and Bella. Gajeel and Levy had twin boys Axel and Levi, followed by daughter Gaia a few years later. Elf man and Evergreen had two girls three years apart. Flora and Everly. Gray and Juvia had a boy named Silver and a girl named Storm. Even Freed had a child. Surprising as it sounds. He and Laki had a little girl named Violet, which Freed kept custody of her. Cana and Bacchas had a little girl named Morali. The only one that had waited to have a child later in life was Natsu. The poor guy just now had a baby a year ago with Yukino from Sabertooth. It was a little scandalous, considering Yukino was Stings mate. In an effort to keep the knowledge of her pregnancy a secret she kept away from the guild for over a year. She gave birth to a little boy. She didn't care to even stick around to name him. She just left the hospital and never came back. Leaving Natsu a single father of little Igneel Dragneel.
Now remember how I said that Laxus was the guilds current master? You can only imagine who he chose as his personal emissary, his right hand man. Bickslow. Now I know what you're thinking. How the fuck did Laxus con him in to that? I guess you'll have to keep reading. (We're doing a chapter on it later. )
Now since Laxus is the guild master and Bickslow his emissary, they both had responsibilities that tied them to the guild and all of its official responsibilities. That left the thunder legion two men short and in need of a new leader. Naturally Laxus ended up leaving it to his wife Bella. The thunder legion only consisted of Bella, Sage, Evergreen and even rarely Freed. It wasn't very often that he came, so it came as no surprise that certain clients began referring to them as the black fairies.
When Laxus took over the guild, there was a lot of apprehension from the magic council, especially since Bickslow was his choice for Emissary. They tried to block him from taking the position, making mention of the ban on seith mages. Laxus had to fight tooth and nail against the magic council finally getting them to lift the ban on all legal guild affiliated seith mages. Any seith mages practicing magic that has not aligned with a legally registered guild was still considered an enemy of the kingdom. It was the best compromise that Laxus could get them to take. That was why Kira had already joined Fairy Tail and received her Seith mage brand. Kyson and Keva will both join when their magic blossoms. It was a little concerning to Sage and Bickslow that Kyson hadn't exhibited any magic. He was 14 and most mages tended to come in to their magic around the ages of twelve to fourteen. Like Kira, Gray's son Silver got his magic taking after Gray. Levi and Axel, Gajeel's sons, took back after him when they got their magic at 13. Elfman and Evergreen's daughter Everly was 12 and could already do take over magic. Most people tended to think she hadn't inherited any magic from her mother, well that was wrong. She had the ability to turn you to stone with her gaze. She practiced medusa magic something very scary for such a small girl. Now as for Elara and Exodus they hadn't shown any magic yet either and the other fairy tail children weren't old enough yet.
Now our seith mages as well as Laxus and Bella all stayed very busy, never having any time for one another. Between jobs, kids, guild master meetings, emissary trips it was hard to find any time. When Bella and Sage weren't working they were busy watching the kids while Bix and Laxus were away at meetings or doing guild work. Now when Bella and Sage were away at jobs and Bix and Laxus needed someone to watch the kids Freed would step up to their the plate.
With all the constant business they went through, it began putting a strain on each of their relationships. It seemed like any little thing could spark a fight, things were that volatile. The normally peaceful seith mages got to where they argued on a daily basis, something they never used to do. Now Bella and Laxus were no stranger to arguments, they'd come to blows on several occasions. Sadly even that hadn't been working for them lately. They only really got to spend one night a week together and most of the time it ended in an arguement, same thing that was happening at the Seith mage home. There was no Love making, no untamable, just two souls Lying next to each other at night. That brings us to where we are today. The black fairy trio was rolling into town in the midnight train. They were returning from a three day job that Laxus sent them on. They were all exhausted. They hadn't seen their husbands in days. So silently they all went their separate ways. Bella was headed home to Laxus and Sage to Bickslow.
Sage walked with Bella back to their homes, having lived next door to one another for a few years now. Sage and Bickslow had finally gotten out of their tiny apartment after Keva was born and Bix took the emissary position. They found a three bedroom house and it made it so much easier on them.
Sage unlocked the door to the house making her way in to get some much earned Zzz's, she made her rounds checking on the kids first checking on the girls, both were out cold with Pepe and Mimi curled up with Keva, Papa on the top bunk with Kira, she closed there door and made her way across the hall to her son's room were she caught him sitting upright awake staring in a corner of his room "Kyson" she asks him,
Kyson hadn't heard her enter, he was too transfixed on the corner of the room. Sage's words fell on deaf ears it seemed as if Kyson were in a sort of trance.
Sage looked around seeing a spirit energy in the room it felt dark, she activates her figure eyes to get a better look while pulling her Mama and Momo in with her, " KYSON" She half yells trying to get his attention, if this didn't work she was gonna lob something at the space next to him, she picks up the first thing next to her which is one of Bickslow's boots and gets prepared to chuck it. She knew the wheight of Bickslow's size 12 boot hitting the wall would be loud enough to get the boy's attention if it bounced off the wall.
Kyson snaps out of it the instant his mother activates her figure eyes. The spirit receded into the depths of the darkness. Kyson's eyes went wide seeing his mother in his room. "The hell mom? Why are you in my room.. with dad's boot?"
Sage looked at her son, giving him her mom look that at times even made Bickslow duck and run before she softened her glare, " better question what are you doing up at 1 am Kyson" she says as she drops the boot with a thud
"I had to pee and I've been laying here trying to go back to sleep. But then I have my mom busting in here with a boot..." Kyson said smoothly. He didn't want anyone to know that he was have nightly visitations. He didn't want to be as weird as the rest of his family.
Sage was not convinced, she prided her self on the fact she was not a stupid woman. " uh huh" she says as she turns to head to her own bed" i was checking on you, its what i do, im your mom, go back to sleep" she says as she leaves his room
The next morning rolls around rather early. After a quick breakfast both Laxus and Bickslow head in to the guild to deal with paperwork and this evenings emissary visit from Lamias Scale.
That left the Sage and Bella with a house full of children. Since they were next door neighbors they tended to pile in to one house. This morning everyone was at the Dreyar residence. Bella looked to Sage. "Pass the Oj"
Sage slides it across the table to her, she was drinking her coffee but the normally bubbly seith mage was distracted by something
While she sipped her coffee she went over last nights nights events over in her head, it wasn't just Kyson, but Bickslow too normally he would kinda reach for her. Not just roll over and stay asleep
Bella could sense something wrong with her friend. If these past 15 years taught her nothing else, she knew the subtle changes in the seith mage. "Alright spill it. What's in your mind?"
Sage looked up at her knowing she could sense it, " Bickslow he didn't even acknowledge i came home last night normally he reaches for me but last night after i checked on the kids he just rolled over away from me and stayed asleep"
Bella pondered on it for a moment." That doesn't sound like Bix. You think he might have just had a long day? I mean are you two still talking everyday?"
Sage is about to say something when Kyson scoffs, " does talking count as a doll flying at Dad's head?" He asks Bella, Sage sighs and points to Kyson because he had said it, they weren't talking and it was getting pretty bad between them
"You two haven't come to blows yet have you? I know Laxus and I do it, but I'll tell you it stops working after a while. " Bella sighed softly looking down at the counter.
" No were not there more like ignoring the other person completely, no morning beautiful nothing" she says as she played with the gold ring around her finger, it was a simple gold band that had my Bijou on the inside of it
" I know how you feel. Laxus and I don't talk very much and when we do it's a screaming match. There's no romance, no love making. That's been out the door for the past three weeks. What are we going to do about this?" Bella wondered.
Sage shrugged she didn't know, she was at a loss, if she didn't know any better she swore he was having an affair
But didn't want to think that was the case maybe they had just hit a rough patch they would get threw it right they had been threw so much worse,
Elara plopped down on the couch next to Kyson, being her normally bubbly self. Elara looked exactly like Bella did when she was younger minus having blonde hair. She was currently leaning against Kyson, pestering him about one thing or another. Only to find him sitting there disinterested. He really didn't seem to want to be around anyone.
"So Laxus and I fought last night when I came home. " Bella said sounding a bit melancholy.
Bella was hoping to distract her friend from her worries.
Sage looked over at her son watching the whole interaction and than to Bella, " seems to be the norm now, at least you guys talk even if its screaming at each other, i vote lets go the guild" she said trying to get out of the house ,
Bella agreed with her. "Man I wish it were back in the day when we could go get black out day drunk. " Bella said before chugging down her oj. She went to her bedroom and changed out of her fuzzy pajama pants. Opting for a pair of jeans, they were a little tight but hell most things were now. She grabbed a black t shirt hoping to hide some of her rolls. She walked back out to usher the kids along. She looked over to Sage, she didn't wear what she used to anymore
Sage ushered the kids out as she pulled her Queen hoodie down over her rolls, she was unsure why she still wore it since Bickslow bought it for her birthday but she did, it covered the things she didn't want people to see. She went from being slightly chubby to feeling like a elephant.
As the brood enter the guild the kids all rush in, seeing their friends hanging around the guild hall. Well it's more like Kira and Elara running off over to Axel and Levi, Kyson preferring to sit alone. Bella sat down at the bar on one of them many stools, ordering a Long Island iced tea. She sheepishly looked over to Sage knowing that she shouldn't be drinking with the kids around. "Don't judge me.. it just tea. Really strong tea. "
Sage chuckles " okay" she says, She slumped on the counter seeing Gajeel was sitting beside her with Lily too, they were talking ,Lily enjoying a kiwi and Gajeel munching on some metal, over the years she had become friends with the iron Dragon slayer and exceed, " Hey Mira do you know if Bix is in his office?" She asked the take over mage
Mira shook her head no. "He hasn't been in his office for a few hours. He stepped out around ten this morning. Laxus is still in his office though. "She gave a small frown, her woman's intuition had been telling her that something was off with Bickslow lately.
Gajeel decided to poke his head in the conversation after having finished his metal. "I saw him walking around town earlier. "
Sage held in tears something was up, " still know how to pick a lock Gajeel?" She asked him, she knew he would leave his phone lacrima in his desk drawer being as scattered brained as he was at times,
Gajeel nearly choked on his laugh. "Just because I married a good girl and started to act right doesn't mean I've forgotten my roots. "From within his pocket he pulled out a lock pick kit. "Gihee. Can't be too prepared. "
Bella looked to Gajeel. "Let me guess Gaia keeps locking you out of the house?"
Gajeel huffed. "Fucking yeah. Axel and Levi never done that shit but she does. "
Sage laughed, " so glad my kids never learned that, look i need you to pick the lock on his office door and being me his phone lacrima its in his desk drawer, if my suspicion is right he's having an affair and mavis i hope not" she says as she looked to the floor
While everyone else made a distraction Gajeel and Lily done their magic. Not literal magic but damn it should have been. It looked so effortless as Gajeel had the lock picked in no time. Lilly floated into the office and found the phone exactly where Sage said it would be. He retrieved it and the room was locked back up like nothing ever happened. Lily floated over to Sage and dropped the phone in her hands.
Sage caught it with easy and drew the pattren in, pulling up his messages at first it seemed normal till she came across a number she didn't recognize, she opend it and started reading them, each one confirmed her suspicions and the tears begin to well in her purple eyes, the last one was the icing on the cake though " I miss you too", she begins to cry as she dropped the phone on the counter, 13 yrs down the toilet.
Bella was reading it over her shoulders and her blood was boiling. She knew better than to touch Sage at the moment. She could already feel her magic fluctuating and that was a dangerous thing. "Do you need a few by yourself? I've got the kids if you need to be alone?"
Sage throws her arm over her eyes, " im going home to get my shades and than i got to go kill something, your more than welcome to come with but i need to rip some souls out, or i may kill him" she said as she got up to walk home her arm still over her eyes blocking people she cared about from her eyes, she had flawless control till this particular Moment, every inch of her was livid, she felt like she was worthless and that he should have left her with blackheart.
Before she leaves the guild she grabs the phone and bangs it screen down on the counter shattering the screen
Bella gathered the kids all up and ushered them over to Freeds house. He was always up for watching the kids, he seemed to prefer that. Over going on jobs. The messages were still playing in her head. How could Bix of all people do that to Sage? It brought up some of Bella's own insecurities, remembering how it was with Laxus. It started to make her a bit concerned. Little did Laxus know Bella had installed an app on his phone that allowed her to check his remotely at will. If things ever went back to normal she would have to show it to Sage. Bella entered in the credentials to access his phone. She began looking through the messages, nothing in there. She moved on to his browsing habits. That's when she saw it. Pages and pages filled with porn links. Bella knew she shouldn't but she checked out a few of the sites. Her stomach churned. All she saw was young beautiful women. Skinny. Pretty. Vibrant. Models. Bella didn't look like that anymore. It wouldn't have been so bad if Bella hadn't told him multiple times how it bothered her. It was Iike a slap in the face to see him continue doing it. The blatant disrespect. If she weren't already pissed at Bix, now Laxus was going to face her wrath. She packed up a bag and left. She decided she was going to join Sage. It looks like they both needed time away.
Sage packed her bag and grabbed her shades slipping them on heading back the guild were she ripped off a job that would have her gone for 3 weeks, taking it up to Laxus slamming it along with her wedding ring and the shattered phone on his desk ,she turns to look at him" if you knew your a peice of shit too Sparkplug" she said before turning to walk away tuning her own phone lacrima to Dragula by Rob Zombie.
Bella was waiting on the edge of town with two magic powered motorcycles. She was leaning against her as she waited for Sage, knowing that she would inevitably come this way.
Sage walked towards her still crying but ready to go, she wiped tears away as she got on the motorcycle. " lets ride" she said to Bella.
- Meanwhile back at Fairy Tail-
Laxus looked at what was laying on his desk, wondering what the fuck had just happened, he was confused what did she mean if you knew?
He picks up The phone lacrima and saw it was shattered, he knew Bickslow 's pattren as well it was easy enough that Igneel could figure it out and saw all the texts between Bickslow and Lisanna, he sighs before muttering " you fucking moron "
Bickslow comes strolling back in after his outing, going straight to his office. He sat at his desk and dig through the drawer to find his phone, it was no where to be found. He decided to go to Laxus office to see if he left it there. He cocked his brow when he entered and saw a pile of stuff on his desk. Upon closer inspection he saw his phone completely shattered. Not only that he saw the wedding band he'd given Sage. "The hell is going on here Laxus?"
Laxus looked at him and said nothing as he decked him. " are you stupid? Take to many blows to the head? Fall on it to many damn times? Sage left on a job by the looks of it a 3 week one with Bella,"
Bickslow tried to feign confusion as he picked himself up off the ground, wiping the blood away from his mouth. "I don't know what the hell youre talking about"
Though he knew by the sight of the ring and his smashed phone laying there. Finally he concedes in a huff and leans against Laxus desk. " I don't know how it happened man... Things have been so tough with Sage lately. We fight all the time we never have any free time with each other. "
Laxus sits next to him. " instead of trying to make time you cheated with Lisanna," he reaches up on his desk and hands him the ring, " you fucked up Bix, big time" he says as he thought about what he had been doing lately as well
Laxus thought about his words next before asking" did you fuck her?" Knowing if he did Bix was really fucked at this point
Bickslow kept his gaze down at the ground he couldn't face Laxus as the moment. Yes, it was anal though, I couldn't bring my self to actually fuck her," he paused for a moment to collect his thoughts. "It's been really close. Something made me stop though. I can't say what it was. You know I love Sage " he began hitting himself upside the head yelling stupid stupid stupid.
Laxus sighed, " im sure you do, maybe it was the fact that she's like the other half of your soul stopped you, why would you throw her away for a skank? You went threw hell for her, fuck man i taught you Law for her" he says as he runs his hand threw his own hair, while he had been in the same boat he never got that far. The thought of it repulsed him there hadn't been a guy from Fairy tail to Sabertooth that hadn't fucked her, the only four being himself, Gajeel, Gray and Bix.
"I know I know. I'm a weak man. I'm a piece of shit. I should have known better than to let her comfort me. That's how it all started you know. Sage and I had been fighting and I took off walking. I holed up somewhere and just cried dude. Lisanna found me at a weak moment. I should have just kept telling her to keep moving. " Bickslow wrung his fingers through his hair. What was he going to do?
It had been two weeks since the ladies had left. Bickslow and Laxus had been struggling to manage guild work and the kids. They didn't realize how much the women actually done around there. They were falling behind on paperwork, the magic council was still hounding Laxus about finishing the rest of the jobs.
Bella and Sage were currently in Saber City, having completed their job a week early, they decided to hang around town and get black out day drunk.
Bella sat at the bar, on her 12th shot of moonshine. She turned to Sage, her words starting to slur. "Do you think I look like a potato,Sage?"
Sage tapped the bar asking for another drink," if your potato than im one too no wonder he wants her" she says as she takes her shot, The whiskey burns as it goes down her throat but she didn't care
Bella pouted as she ordered another shot. It had been a while since she got drunk drunk. "I don't want to be a potato. I want to be pretty again like all those girls he looks at. "Bella poked at her tummy. "He's just not attracted to my potato lumps anymore. "
Sage noded at her," i want what Fucking Lisanna's body not this flabby vagi do, no wonder why he wants her he doesn't have to roll her in flour to find the wet spot she says as she shakes her whole belly wishing it would magically disappear and she could be fit and thick again not looking like a twice baked potato
Bella decided to catch the next passerby, it was a random guy who looked a little startled by Bella's forwardness. "Tell me something " she slurred. "Do you think we look like potatoes?"
The guy was put off by the question and didn't know how to answer them " um really cute Potatos?" He says unsure of how to answer them, but something told him he had said the wrong thing as both women looked like the wanted to kill him now
In drunken rage Sage flips a table over, " No wonder he's fucking her, who wants to fuck a potato!" She yells
Bella threw the guy across the bar, making him slam through a table. She eyed Sage flipping the table and decided to up her one. She punched straight through a table and began throwing chairs. " I'll show you guys a fucking potato... potato smash!" She screamed smashing through a few more tables, sending one flying into the wall.
Sting had been watching the whole thing, and while he had been welcoming to them allowing them to drink and been a shoulder to cry in for Sage he had enough, he told Rouge to watch the the guild while he went to his office and used the guild phone lacrima to call Laxus
They were his mages his job not Sting's,
Laxus was sitting at his desk when the guild phone started to ring off the hook. The first time he just let it ring,. The second time he couldn't ignore it anymore. "What is it?" Laxus said, his voice showing the stress he was under.
" Yo its Sting i have two very angry Fairies destroying my guild come get them before i call the magic council," he says hanging up the phone to go watch the destruction of his guild and try to clam them down
Laxus slammed the phone down, pinching the bridge of his nose. These women were going to be the death of him. He rose from his seat and walked to the office next door. " So, I just got a phone call..."
Bickslow looked up from the mess of paperwork he was dealing with, he was a stressed mess and now had to deal with backlash of breaking it off with Lisanna, the guild wouldn't look at him either, word got out and they were all glaring at him, none of the women talked to him and Mira refused to serve him anything" what now" he said looking at Laxus
"Well, lets see we both have wives that are destroying Sabertooth guild hall as we speak. We were instructed to come collect them or Sting is going to call the magic council. So get your ass ready. We're teleporting there. "Laxus said rather dryly. This was one of the last things he needed right now, his wife wreaking havoc on another guild.
Bickslow nodded getting up to take Laxus hand, he hated telaporting but it was quicker, he was nervous about facing Sage, he knew she was still pissed at him he could feel it," lets go" he says with a monotone voice
They zapped over to the Sabertooth guild, arriving in a vortex of lightning. As they looked around it was apparent that their wives had been here. Sting was standing over in the corner tapping his foot impatiently. For the moment the destruction had stopped, both girls were currently slumped over the bar, hoards of scared mages watching from the shadows. Laxus approached Sting. "We will handle the repairs. Laki will be arriving here shortly to cover the repairs. Sorry for this incident. "
Sting nodded before speaking, " thank you now get them the fuck out of here, i dont know what either of you two did but it seems there feeling a little bit unappreciated"
Bickslow carefully picked up Sage and slung her over his shoulder carrying her that way would be easier. Laxus nodded to Sting. "I fear you may be right, Sting. "Laxus said shaking his head as he put Bella over his shoulder and the two carried them out. They would have to walk back home, Laxus had great difficulty transporting more than three people, he couldn't risk trying with these two drunkards.
Bickslow looked over to Laxus holding tightly on to Sage. It had been too long since he'd felt her body against his. The smoothness, the bountiful curves that graced her body. How could he have ever been stupid enough to look away from this beautiful woman?
"What are we going to do now?" Bickslow asked Laxus.
Laxus missed feeling Bella in his arms, the models were nice but not his Bells, not the one who had fought him numerous times over the years, they were not the girl who tamed a Dragon, damn he was stupid, she was beautiful in more ways than one, even now her body was still beautiful to him even he didn't see it at the time," were taking the train, i cant telaport more than two people" he says instantly feeling sick from the thought of the train
Bickslow nodded in agreement. Much to his horror he felt Sage start to stir. He had hoped that she would sleep long enough to get home.
Bella came back into consciousness feeling herself away back and forth as someone walked. She hiccuped and giggled a little. "Look I'm a flying tater!"
Sage came to and giggled hearing Bella " Me too, were flying taters"
Sage then looked around and saw Laxus" false alarm not flying Taters just your husband. " she says
Bella instantly began to struggle against his hold yelling"Free the spuds!"
Bickslow prepared for the imminent struggle from Sage, holding tightly on to her hips.
Laxus struggling to hold her as she wiggled " dammit Bella" he says as he tightens his grip on her
Bella continues her wiggling trying to free herself. Although in her drunken stupid she couldn't muster the strength to free herself. "Let the tater go!" She cried, real tears streaming down her cheeks.
Sage started to wiggle and kick at Bickslow, " liberation for the potato!" She said as she tried to break free from him he was the last person she wanted to carry her home
Bickslow held tight on to Sage, his gaze shifting over to Laxus his voice dropping down to barely a whisper, knowing that he would be able to hear him. "What the hell is with potatoes?"
Laxus shook his head " no idea" he says as he shifted Bella as he tried to keep a hold of her one turn and his face would be in her butt
Sage wiggled more and yelled " lying cheating basterd can't carry potato!" She says as she kept wiggling to be free.
After a few elbows to the face from Sage Bickslow looks at Laxus and then back at Sage. At the same time they both dropped their potato hollering wives to the ground. Bickslow stood in front of Sage, ready to take his beating.
Sage got up off the ground and begin to yell about potato abuse, She dusted her self off and slapped him straight across the face, " dont touch me, i can walk, better term maybe stumble down the street but whatever go fuck your whore" she says as she stumbles down the street falling over to drunk to walk
Even after Bickslow was smacked he still followed behind her, picking her up as she went along. At this rate they would miss the last train. "Look Sage I am sorry. " He got down on his knees in front of her and for the first time in his life he pleaded and begged. "I don't expect you to forgive me, I just want you to know that I know I really fucked up. I have such a beautiful queen, who I'm tired of hearing you call a potato. My woman is beautiful. She has the perfect body. Not only has it faced death head on it's also given life. Given me back a life I thought was long lost. I am so stupid. I've had the best in the world and I've been putting you on the back burner. For all of this I am incredibly sorry. I am willing to do whatever it takes.. just please don't leave me. "
She laughed, " right cause im so perfect you've been seeing Lisanna for weeks, im not stupid i read the texts, you made it clear you want her, im done," she says as she stumbles down the street more falling again, " listen very clearly to me ill let you carry me to the train but after that were done, i dont care were you go but were D-O-N-E, you cheated there's nothing to fix"
Bickslow drops his head and reluctantly picks up Sage to carry her to the train. Quite a few steps back Bella was sitting on the ground refusing to budge an inch. "
Laxus was stuck between laughing at her childishness and being angry at her. The conversation between the two seith mages struck him though, he remembered how Lisanna had torn him and Bella apart, he knew had felt Bickslow felt but right now he had to deal with Bella, " are you done acting like a child Bells?" He asked
Bella stuck her tongue out at him and blew a raspberry. "If I'm so childish go find one of those women and deal with her. "
Laxus growled in frustration, " I dont want them, i want you, i want the woman who has gone toe to toe with me, the woman who faced my abusive father head on like nothing, I want the woman who gave me beautiful children, is deathly afraid of Thunderstorms, I want the woman who trained a dragon, ill do anything , we can go to the arcane resort something, just give me a chance, i dont want some toothpick id break in half" he says sitting on the ground next to her taking her face in his hands,
Bella had tears streaming down her cheeks as her drunkenness only heightened her emotions. "You haven't touched me in five weeks. Even when I try you turn me down and tell me no. Then I find you looking at porn again. You know I have a problem with it and you do it anyway. "Bella grabbed at her belly jiggling it. " I don't look like those girls Laxus. I never will again. I just don't think you'll ever understand how blatantly disrespectful that is. And don't try to butter me up with a trip to my favorite resort."
Laxus sighed, " im sorry Bella ive been busy and stressed its not you its me, i should have come to you for my needs but ive been sending you on jobs, im so tired after work and i- i just haven't made time for you, im not trying to butter you up, im trying to make time for you, so we don't end up were our best friends are, i dont want to lose you again, i cant Bella id rather die than lose you, i know your body isnt what it used to be, but i still love it, you are not a potato your my mate, i love you regardless of your size, you could be 500 lbs and id still love you"
Bella finally relents and leans in to Laxus embrace allowing him to scoop her up in his arms. Her drunk buzz was still hanging around. " I love you too just promise me that you'll start coming to me for stuff. You know your needs. Because I've got needs too. " She allows Laxus to carry her bridal style to the train platform where Bix and Sage already were. Bickslow looked like a broken man as he sat there holding on to Sage who had passed back out. The ride home was long. Poor Bickslow had to deal with three train sick mages.
Laxus sets her down by Bickslow and kisses her softly, " ill be right back" he says before he goes to buy tickets, he knew Bella had words for him, Laxus had said his piece and also knew how he felt but it was Bickslow 's fault, he buys the tickets and groans as the four of them boarded the train laying his head on the window as he let Bella sleep with her head in his lap
The train moves and he groans as it starts moving his stomach flopping around. He put his headphones on to try and focus on anything but the train,
The train stops in Magnolia and Laxus picks Bella carrying her off the train, he gets off and has to set her down immediately to find a trash can were he can puke, he hated trains and all other froms of movement, only thing that ever helped was dramamine but he couldn't take it and deal with a sick Bella so the whole way he suffered in silence holding the puke in, he said nothing as he vomited into the trash can, before he picked Bella back up and carried her to their house,
Once back at home Laxus tucks her into bed and kisses her cheek, " I love you Bells" he says as he walks out the door to get Elara and Exodus from Freed,
After getting the kids he walks them back home Exodus bitching the whole way about people disturbing his sleep, Laxus chuckles listening to his mini me only difference is Exodus had black hair like Bella, once home he sends them to bed, he brushes his teeth to get the puke taste out of his mouth and strips down to his boxers and walking out to the living room to unlock the door for Bickslow ,
He even made sure to leave a blanket on the couch for him. Snickering to himself that it was Elara' s old Minnie mouse blanket. After that he went to lay in bed wrapping his arms around Bella, breathing in her scent. He loved the smell of her, there was the under lying smell of him too that, it all drove Laxus crazy and he was stupid for ignoring her for so long. He was just about to fall asleep when he heard the front door open and close, his dragon hearing had picked up it was Bickslow, he heard him unlacing his boots and flopping on the couch. Laxus tried to fall asleep again when he hears a thud and a " fuck man" he snickers trying not to wake Bella. Having to pee he walks out to see just how Bix was doing, he could smell the salt and knew he was crying, but Laxus silently laughed seeing him curled up under that tiny blanket on his stomach with his foot wedged between the arm and the cushion. Laxus wanted to tell him it pulled out but thought it was just funny seeing him try to sleep on the couch, Laxus was way to tall to sleep on it, so of course Bickslow being almost as tall as him would be to. Laxus just shakes his head and goes back to bed taking Bella in his arms and kissing her temple.
