Laxus's P.O.V.
"Laxus, it's time, come out." My manager and friend Evergreen tells me, coming into my practice room
" Okay, Ever. Just let me get my gloves." I say, punching the huge sandbag one last time. I'm Laxus Dreyar, Best boxer in the Earthland country of Fiore. I was not a boxer by choice, but because of my past. I am not that proud of who I am, or what i have done or said. If anything, i hate myself for it, and brought my anger out in excersise. Eventually, I was a human gorilla, and the only way to put that to use was bringing my left-over hate and anger out on my opponents in boxing, which I had started to become interested in. I took advantage of my new strangth, and trained to be a proffesional, where I am now. I have fought most of the boxers, and beat every single one. my fans have also given me the nick name of 'Lightning', because of how fats I strike, and how I make quick work of my opponents. I pulled on my striking yellow boxing gloves, and exited the room, going through the halls, until I reached the arena. Cheers erupted from the crowd
" Ladies and Gentleman, I am pleased to present the fight between Lightning and Scarlet Knight!" The man announced. I Entered the caged in area. I had never met Scarlet Knight, and I was thinking of a man with a ginger hair-color (A/N: My crush is a ginger!) But I thought completely wrong. A scarlet-haired woman emerged from her team's side, and entered, a serious look on her face. She reminded me so much of 'her', and a pain clenched up in my chest, thinking about it, until my heart was in a large, untangled knot. With my gloved fist, I attempted to scratch and claw at my chest. I then stopped, and approached my opponent.
" Are you ready, Erza Scarlet, and Laxus Dreyar?" The referee asks us, to which we both reply with a nod.
" Begin!" Erza and I dance around the ring, bouncing back and forth. She lunges towards me with a punch, but i dodge and punch her in the back, pushing her into the caged walls, holding her there, before she cranes her neck to look at me with brown eyes
Her gorgeous chocolate milky eyes, filled with love that I failed to notice.
I was distracted, and Erza spun around and punched me in the gut, sending me back a few feet. I shook my head, since remembering 'her' in a fight was not a good thing. I would get distracted, and fall to my knees. I punched at Erza, clipping her shoulder and knocking her to the side. I took this advantage to punch her face, which left some blood trickeling down her chin and cheek. I then punched her once more on the other side of her face, sending her to the floor. She stays on the ground for 3 seconds, then jumps to her feet, giving me a hook to the jaw, and a second hook to the arm, I fell backwards ono the mat, but got back up, and punched her once more in the side, sending her into the cage-wall, once more, and after 10 seconds, she still didn't get up. I coughed harshly, then held my arm up in victory.
" ladies and gentleman, I am pleased to present today's victor! Laxus Dreyar!" The announcer says as a blue-haired man with a tattoo comes to Erza's side, who gets up on wobbly legs
She fell down on wobbly legs after I told her she wasn't for me, and that she was weak
I took pity on Erza, and approached her, extending a hand
" Let's be aquaintences, alright?" I smirk, as I help her to her feet
" Of course." She smiles, shaking my hand firmly.
Back at his own home... Still Laxus' P.O.V.
" Laxus, the reporters are waiting." Evergreen says, pushing her glasses up on the bridge of her nose. I sigh and rise to my feet, straightening my dress shirt.
" Okay." I follow her out my front door, and approach the reporters flooding the streets.
" Laxus, Laxus! Was it hard fighting Erza?" One asks, holding a microphone to my face as the crowd starts to die down.
" I'll tell you this, the chick can put up a good fight."
" Laxus, is there a special reason that you were hesitant to punch Erza? Does she remind you of anyone?" Asks another. My stomach twists violently
" To be honest, yes. Why do you ask?" I tell them with a painful sigh
" Because of Heart-Breaker! The female champion!" One exclaims, his eyes in hearts " She's absolutely beautiful!" Drawls another. All of the reporters collapse at once, leaving everyone on the ground, except for the single female reporter.
" Who's Heart-breaker?" I ask her, stepping over the lovesick male reporters' bodies
" She's the bet female champion, and looks a bit similar to you. Blonde hair, brown eyes, black twisting tattoo on her stomach, every girl's dream body. Not to mention, the tattoo on her left arm with the bloody word 'Laxus'. It wouldn;t be a surprise if you two knew each other." The bluenette exclaims. " DShe's my best friend and role model. I also find her back-story for boxing interesting." My eyes widen in shock. Could Heart-breaker be 'her'? Could I be her reason for boxing?
" Thank you... I have to-to think-k." I stutter, turning to go back into my mansion.
" Okay. Levy McGarden's the name, by the way." She says as I slam the door behind me. I storm through the halls, and downstairs to the training level, which is one, big gym. I rip off my shirt in anger, and throw it in the pile of ruined shirts in the corner. I bandage up my fists quickly, and start to punch the closest thing, which was thankfully my punching-bag. I punched. I'm so stupid. I threw a pair of doubles. I was such a jerk. I punch again, harder. She probably hates me, if she's out there. I hooked the sandbag to the side with anger. I will find her. Punch. Because. Punch, punch. I still love her. The punching bag flew out of the cieling and into the wall.I collapsed on the ground, my back up against the wall, my pulse threatening to explode. My pst flashed before my very eyes, and I remember everything to the very last detail.
Flashback
" Laxus... ummmmm..." the shorter blonde walked up to me. Lucy Heartfilia, the new student who enrolled here last year. She was really kind and sweet, and cute to boot. For me, what she lacked was strength, and had the smallest chest I had ever seen on an 8th grader, seeing as how we both WERE 8th graders.
" what is it, Lucy?" I ask her, uninterested
" Do you, um... wanna go out, maybe?" She blushed
" Sure." I sighed, since I wanted to try her out. Although I wanted a girl like MiraJane, who could put up a fight, had a larger bust, and was even more beautiful.
I Went on a date with her that night, and she gave me a kiss on the cheek, telling me that I was more than just a crush, and that she LOVED me. The next day, when she approached me, I didn't care about her feelings at all, or at least, Idid, but didn't realize it yet.
" Look, Lucy. You are weak. I like Mira, because she's strong and beautiful. You, on the pother hand, are weak and flat-chested." I told her. She fell down on wobbly legs after I had told her she wasn't for me, and that she was weak. She cried and cried, her body racked with sobs, and I turned away. I felt guilt and another feeling that i couldn't put my finger on. I didn't know why. I rounded the corner before someone could catch me, and found Mira holding hands with my best friend, Fried. I wanted to feel jealousy, but couldn't, I still didn't know why.
Lucy didn't come to school the next day, or any day for the rest of the week. I found her friend, Yukino and asked her where Lucy was. She slapped me, while an echo followed
" Lucy is gone, you bastard! She dropped out of school, and ran away! Here's the note, so you can think about what you've done!" She shoved a slip of paper in my hand, then stormed off with her boyfriend, Rogue.
Dear Yukino and others,
I have run away from heart break, and do not wish to be found.
If you are reading this, Laxus, then I hate you, and cannot believe what you said!
I will get stronger, you will see!
I will make you grovel and beg!
From, Lucy
I gritted my teeth. Why. How come only just now, I had to notice that I love her with all my heart, and that I didn't mean those things...
Flashback end
I am 24, and that happened 10 years ago. I haven't seen her since then. My own tears flowed down my face, and I gritted my teeth even more than I had that day. My heart clenched. I couldn't think straight.
" Lucy..." I rasped " I will find you, and tell you I love you." I vowed..
Timeskip to later (Still Laxus's P.O.V.)
I lounged on the couch in my boxing clothes, ready for my fight, with someone whom Evergreen refused to tell me. I angrily slipped on my boxing gloves and swung at the air for short practice. Evergreen opened the door and nodded. I followed her out the door, and to the arena, where I focused my infuriated gaze on the ground.
" At least look at me, Thunder-butt." I was fight another woman. I slowly looked up to meet a piercing chocolate gaze. She was exactly as the reporter, Levy, described, and this was Lucy. She was drop-dead gorgeous. I stood there, frozen. Her chest had most definantly grown, she had a luscious, curvy figure, her chocolate-brown eyes only held a fiery anger. Her sun-kissed hair was pulled into a high pony-tail, she wore a tight, strapped tube-top that had the word 'HEART' on the elastic bottom that ended where her breasts did, a pair of short-shorts that had the word 'BREAKER' on the elastic band, and sky-blue boxing gloves, stained slightly with red. She had a black, twisting tattoo on her stomach, just as Levy had described, with the bloody, dripping tattoo on her left arm that, did in fact, read 'Laxus'. I was her reason for boxing. I changed her personality. I broke her.
Nobody's P.O.V.
Lucy was ready to kick his sorry ass, and he would regret everything he ever said to her. Laxus shook his head, and tried to glare at her, but just couldn't. All he saw was her glory, and he couldn't look away
" Lucy Heartfilia, are you ready?" The ref asks Lucy
" Hell yeah." She says, glaring at Laxus, although some part of her is screaming that she still loves him.
" Laxus Dreyar, are you ready?" The ref asks him. Laxus simply nods, at a loss of words for Lucy's increased beauty.
" Begin!" He announces, and they pounce back and forth. Lucy was the first to move. She lunged at Laxus, her boxing glove knocking him in the jaw. Laxus was knocked back into reality, and he remembered that this was a fight, and if Lucy won, he wouldn't be strong enough for her, now. Laxus swung, and it barely skimmed Lucy's shoulder
" They call you lightening for nothing, huh?" Lucy taunted Laxus. Laxus tried to get as serious as possible, and threw a punch at her, unexpectedly, and it hit her in the stomach, making her fall back to her feet, staring at the ground, huffing. Her bangs shadowed her eyes, and laxus thought she was injured, until she looked up with a smirk, fist hitting the matted floor.
" Now that's what I'm talking about!" She growled in approval, and in a flash, she hopped to her feet, and was about to punch Laxus in the face, who embraced for impact, but instead, Lucy placed her fist on his shoulder, launching herself over him as she did a front-flip in the air, and turned around quickly enough to send a crushing punch to his back, careful not to break his spine. Laxus layed there, his breath raspy. He was down for the count
" Lucy Heartfilia is the winner!" The referee held up Lucy's gloved arm. The crowd went wild. Lucy exited the ring, and Laxus looked up just in time to see a blonde-haired male with an earing wrap his arm around Lucy's waist, and say
" Great job, babe." Well, that made Laxus's blood boil with something worse than the pain in his back. Jealousy. Now, getting her would be a challenge.
Yeah, yeah, you knpow who the blonde-haired male is, I made no effort to hide it, but don't worry, this will definantly end in LaLu! FWI, This was my first Laxus X Lucy Fanfic, so don't be mean, although i don't really mind
