Thunder on the Soul
By: IcedragonSlayerEmi and BellaofFairyTail
A/N: This is a collab with my best friend in the whole world will mainly be about Laxus and Bickslow, Featuring our Ocs
Disclamier: We do not own Fairy Tail that belongs to the great Hiro Mashima!
Now then lets fly my Fairies!
It was a day like any other in the lively Fairy Tail guild. Everyone was busy drinking and partying for the up coming Fantasia Parade. Surprisingly enough, the
Thunder Legion was actually in town for the celebration. It was definitely a rare site to see, they were usually off doing S class jobs, even SS class jobs which occupied most of their time. The commotion of the parade was bringing in all walks of life, including Fairy Tail's other destruction mage. Bella normally traveled with Gildarts, who was the one who had taught her deconstruction magic when she had first come to the guild as a child.
The thunder legion, and Bella included, were tucked away in the upper floor of the guild at their normal table. Laxus, the leader of the group was leaned back in his chair, feet propped up on the table, a terrible habit. Evergreen, the only female in the thunder legion, was busy doing her nails and gawking at herself in the mirror she always carried around, occasionally throwing glares at the raven haired mage sitting with them. Freed, the brains of the group, had his nose buried deep within a book. Bickslow, the undeniable wild card of the group, was playing a game of bullshit with Bella, laughing heartily as she cursed him for calling her bluff. For the longest time everyone in the guild had assumed the two were an item, basing it off the amount of time they spent together. Those rumors were squashed when Bickslow made the statement about how it would be like fucking his own sister. Truth be told, the seith mage and destruction mage were best friends, and most definitely partners in crime. Usually, the two of them played pranks on the other mages, their favorite victim being the self proclaimed fairy queen, Evergreen.
From the floor below them, a commotion could be heard. Bangs and booms abound. Over all of the ruckus, the master's voice was clearly distinguishable, a clear hint of aggravation was in his voice as he made his way up to the second floor of the guild, mumbling curses the whole way. He was a small man in stature, he always had been, the years had not been kind. He had shrunk down to a shadow of his former self, deep lines were etched into his face. Not only from age, but from the young mages in the group he lovingly referred to as his children. Makarov stopped at the front of their table, at first going un noticed by five, until finally he cleared his throat, demanding attention. He looked among he five, settling his gaze on the raven haired female
Laxus looks over his feet at the man before asking " what's up old man"
Makarov looks to Laxus, swiping his feet from off the table. "You were not raised in a barn, act like it."
Laxus mumbles before taking his feet off the table
Makarov leaned against the hard wood of the table, almost unsure of how to broach the subject. "Bella, pay attention please. I have urgent matters to discuss with you all."
Bella set her cards down on the table, looking over at the old man. "What is it gramps?"
" it has been brought to my attention that there is another seith mage out there somewhere and she needs to be found before the magic council finds her and kills her, I understand that you know her personally Bella so I'm sending you and the thunder legion legion to find her and bring her here" the old man says as he pinched the bridge of his nose in agitation
A resounding groan was heard from the group. Bella didnt necessarily mind going to find this mage, but she certainly didnt feel like going with Laxus in tow. "Can't Bix and I just go?"
For once Evergreen was actually in agreement with Bella, she didn't want to go and miss the fantasia parade. " Yeah, can't the two of them just go?"
Makarov shook his head and said" no She is supposed to be dangerous and Bella is gonna need all the help she can get to find this girl and bring her here," For once Freed looks up from his book and asks what the girls name is
"All we know is that her name is Sage. The magic council considers her to be a threat, and wants her contained or destroyed. I would rather her be contained with us. "
Bella pondered on the thought for a moment, the name Sage did sound awfully familiar. As of out of no where, it hit her. " Shit, I do know her. We were in a foster home together. She was always so mousey and quiet, how could she be a threat?"
Emy
Makarov thought for a moment till he could find the right words" she killed someone"
He said as he watched everyone's reaction passing Laxus a picture of the girl in question
Bickslow snatched the picture from Laxus hand, taking a good look at her. She had hair the color of the night sky, and ivory complected skin to match. She looked to be a pretty girl, short and curvy in all the right places. What stood out the most to him was her purple eyes, they carried such a haunted look, she almost looked ghostly.
Laxus glared daggers at his team mate, when he saw her picture it was scary she looked like she would kill you with a look " everyone go home and pack a few things, gramps we're was she last seen" ,
Evergreen mumbles curses to her self as she gets up to go pack for another trip when all she wanted to do was relax and be in the parade
Bella took her turn staring at the picture. This was not the same girl she knew from long ago, it was merely a shell of a forgotten past, Shaped and formed through no doubt tragic experiences. It nearly brought a tear to her eye, thinking of the days they played together. All the times they spent hiding from their foster father, whom had wandering eyes and lingering hands that liked to explored.
Freed took his turn and stared at the picture for a minute as if he was trying to read it, before he passed it to Evergreen
Evergreen barely took a look at the paper, turning her nose up at the sight. "I shouldn't have to waste my time on a commoner."
Laxus looked at her and rolled his eyes, Leave it to Evergreen to act all high and mighty over someone she had never met, The dragon Slayer get up and turns to leave before saying to his team and Bella " we leave in a hour"
Bella rolled her eyes, she wasn't thrilled about traveling with Laxus. He could be such an ass and so over bearing. She wasn't sure how her friend Bix managed to stay sane around him. That thought made her chuckle, bix definitely wasn't sane. Maybe thats how he managed.
The group dispersed, all going their separate ways with the intent of packing their belongings. Each of the packed only what was necessary. Within the hour, they all met back up infront of the guild, ready to go.
Laxus turned to Bickslow before the board the train to Crocus were she was last seen and says" use your figure eyes if she gets to crazy"
What Laxus didn't know was it could be dangerous to everyone else if two seith mages use figure eyes at the same time.
Bella had found them an empty car to sit in and had planted herself right at the window. Trains were never her favorite form of transportation, if she was going to be stuck on one, she was damn sure having the window. Beside her sat Bickslow and across from them was Laxus and Evergreen. No one looked very happy to be train takes off lurching forward, Causing Laxus to turn green, Most people thought it was just a first generation Dragon Slayer thing but Laxus got motion sickness too, " Laxus I swear to Mavis if you puke on me I turn you into stone" Evergreen screams, Freed looks up from his book and rolls his eyes,Bickslow looked over to Bella and then back at Laxus, a devious smile creeping up on his looks up at Bella and Bickslow he knew the look on Bickslow's face all to well and knew what was coming Mavis help Evergreen or Laxus for that matter, he looks over at Bix and shakes head hoping that the boistriuos seith mage would take the hint but Freed wasent counting on it Bix and Bella were horrible when it came to pranking people, they were like Bonnie and clyde in those intanc
Evergreen was to busy filing her nailsfor the 100th time that week to even notice her compainans ploting against her,
All at once, the two began to rock the already swaying train car. The already sick Laxus turning even greener by the second. They continued to rock the car, in all honesty their antics were quite dangerous and they stood a chance of tipping the car over. The two of them both mocked Laxus, making puking noises until it finally happened. Laxus didn't just puke, but he projectile vomited right directly into Evergreens face, soaking her with this mornings breakfast. The two mages fell back into their seats, cackling like madmen.
Evergreen screamed in horror and at that point she got up and walked out of the car, " Ever were are you going?" Freed asks as he holds back his own laughter, " I'm going home to wash what ever this is outta my hair, go find the bitch on you own, good day" She says as she storms out of the train car her heels can be heard thudding down the hall as she her wings she flies back to the short distance to Fiore, " That was a dirty trick you two, " Freed says to the still laughing mages, he had to admit that was a good one and the trip would be a lot quiter,
The train pulls into Crocus after a few hours and Laxus gets out sighing In Relief, he also catches the smell of someone he didn't know but had the suspension that this was there girl as the smell of death seemed to cling to her distinct feminine smell ,Bixlow watched Laxus' facial expression. In times like this, it was always great to have a dragon slayer on hand. It seemed like they had the nose of a blood hound. '' Smell anything?'' he asks,Laxus looks at the seith mage and nods, "she's running, her sent is fresh but fading, Freed come with me well head down the main roads, Bella and Bix take the Ally ways," the blonde says as he keeps sniffing the air something told Laxus that Bella and Bix would find her first,Bella rolled her eyes, but none the less took the order. She tugged Bickslow behind her as she entered the alley. The smell of death filled the air, it was pungent and foul, it made her stomach churn. In the distance rounding the corner she caught the glimpse of black hair and a blood stained shirt. She turned to Bix, signaling that she was going to make her move. She rounded the corner herself and ran her fingers along the length of the red brick, sending her magic pulsing through it. Unlike Gildarts, she had much more control over her magical abilities. The magic she sent through the brick caused an explosion, sending bricks toppling in front of the female seith mage. ''Hold it right there, Sage. " She calls out, The girl upon hearing her name looks up and sends her first lady whom she called Mama to stand guard as she takes off the sunglasses that cover her eyes, " who are you and how do you know my name, go away your I'll use my figure eyes on you," the girl screams at the two people in front of her, hoping they don't call her bluff as she could tell the other person behind the girl possessed the same type of Magic, she knew she would have to be quicker, she waited for them to leave and when they don't she activated her eyes a red light shines through the Ally,Bickslow watches her from behind Bella, knowing full and well that If the two were to do battle, untold amounts of damage could be done. He knew Bella would be able to handle herself, and he was there just in case.
Bella looked over the girl, and a pang of guilt struck her hard. She'd left her all those years ago back in the foster home, running away to find a new life. ''Let's just call me an old friend. Back from the foster care days. She tells the Dangerous Mage infornt of her,The girl thinks back to those painful days and it hits her like a truck she did remember one person"B-Bella?" She asks she keeps her eyes activated but looks at her as the memories come flooding back to her" we're did you go and why did you leave me there" she asks as she keeps her eyes locked on the two in front of her, her gaze going to the man behind Bella as if she was trying to read him and figure out if she was right about him and if she was why hasn't her tried to protect her, Sage couldn't also wanted to know why she hadn't been able to posses Bella's soul,Bella nodded, taking a step closer, trying to think of the right thing to say. Nothing that came to mind sounded like a good answer, so she gave her the truth. ''He was raping me Sage...'' Her words trailed off, she hadn't ever spoken those words aloud and had never told anyone.'' I couldn't stay, and you wouldn't come with me. I ran away and found my true family. The Fairy Tail Guild" Bella tells the girl,
Bickslow was watching her as she was still carrying the same haunted look in her eyes. He could see her focus was on him, he couldn't help but feel threatened, a feeling he didn't like. From beneath his mask, the faint glow of his own figure eyes shining a bright green, sending her his own threat, Sage mulls over her words " he did it to me too, but I didn't run I dealt with it my self and it felt good, how did you join a guild you don't know magic, do you?" She asks,
Sage had heard of Fairy Tail they were famous and the dark guilds she worked for we're always bitching about them, although Sage had never joined one they had asked her .any times to, " so you became Fairy scum huh, well good for you, I don't have a guild I just work for a few dark ones, I don't need family just money" Sage says as she pulls her ladies in closer to her, the one with the face painted like the Joker the was closest to her, it hovered around her occasionally slipping away to investigate Bickslow's babies ,Sage saw the green glow and smirked knowing her hunch was right, he was being cautious about the situation, protecting Bella and she took another step towards them to test his reaction, while she did that she also used her magic to take control of the doll that Mama had scouted out for her and moved the doll over to Bella in a attack pose as it's eyes were red now, " you need to have better Control over your souls sir" she says tauting the other seith mage before her, Bickslow wasn't very concerned, he wouldn't allow her to know it, but he could regain control of his baby at any time he chose. He eyed the doll above Bella's head, knowing he should be cautious. It was a volatile situation and could seriously go south at any moment. ''Id be careful of using your dolls on her. '' those were the only words he spoke to her, allowing the rest of his babies to emerge in a defensive saw the doll floating above her, but she paid it absolutely no mind. She had dealt with seith mages before and this was no different. Should her doll ever come in contact with her, it would immediately implode, her skin was tingling, magical energy surging through her veins. The words fairy scum enraged her like no other, they were her family and there would be no disrespecting them. ''As a matter of fact, i do know magic, let your doll come any closer and find out.." She gave the girl a sly gave her a look, Bickslow gave Bella A worried as if pleading not to destroy his baby, Sage smirked before answering " it's not mine it's his" she moves the doll closer watching them both wanting to see what the guy would do if his doll was destroyed and what Bella could do, although she would never admit it she was jealous of Bella for finding family and not just people who wanted her magic,
Bella sent her magic coursing through the ground, causing it to split underneath the female seith mage, throwing her concentration off. That was her tactic, it allowed Bix to bring his precious baby back to his side.'' I know all about you seith mages, as you can see my best friend here is a seith mage as well.'' She yells at the girl, Sage wasn't stupid and knew that would be a never ending battle if they kept this up, " noted, why after all these years did you decide to come find me after you replaced me? We used to be best friends till you ran away," Sage says as puts her shades back on to walk away, ''When I was still learning magic, I came back for you a year later and you were gone. The house was burnt to the ground, they told me you died in the fire.. I was coming to save you Sage, so don't ever think I abandoned you. I didn't replace you either, I just grew up. '' Bella said being hurt beyond measure, but it wouldn't stop her from her job. ''As for why I'm here now, to keep your ass from being killed by the magic council and to come be a part of my family again.'' She told the girl who was still her friend even if Sage was Angry, Bella's words hit hard, she never forget about her, " I set that fire after I killed the bastard, the council let me slide that time branding me as a seith mage" she days as she pulls back her hoodie showing her tattoo, " I would love that but they won't take me, Ive killed more than one person" she says as she looked to the ground watching the tears that hit it, Bella took another few steps closer, closing the gap. She gingerly placed her hand on the girls shoulder, knowing she probably wouldn't allow much more than that. ''My guild master has an agreement with the magic council. If you join us, we take on full responsibility for you. They won't come after you, that's a promise. '' She tells the scared girl in her arms realizing the years had not been kind to looked up at Bella, Weighing her words Fairy Tail or death, " Alright Take me home then" she says smiling for the first time in years, She walks over to Bickslow " Sorry about your doll, I'm Sage" she tells him, ''Baby'' he corrected her. ''They are my babies, souls very precious to me, Sage. '' Bickslow growls
" Baby the I stand corrected, I call mine my girls, Me too none of the souls in my care are people I've killed, they find me, so don't get yourself twisted " she says walking past him, here she tried to be friendly and he's a asshole that was the last time she was being nice to him,Bella slid her arm around Sage's shoulder, a huge smile on her face. ''Don't mind Bickslow, he does grow on you. '' She shot him a smile and only received an eye roll in response. ''So, guess who gets to stay with me. ''the destruction mage sqeauls,From off in the distance, you could make out two figures coming their way down the alley. The one on the left was very tall and had broad muscular shoulders as well as a mess of blonde locks. The second man walking with him was short and much more slight than the other one, his dark green hair a very distinct feature. Bickslow waved the two over. ''Freed..Laxus.. Hurry your lazy asses up. We already handled the situation" Bickslow yelled to the other two,Bella had to correct him. '' More like I handled it. I told master I didn't need you guys tagging along. ''She shot a look in the direction of Laxus.
Sage looked the other two over, " Hi" she says to them , she was nervous about going to join a legal guild, She was excited about staying with Bella though, Bickslow didn't like her and the feeling was mutual, " Hello Sage I'm Freed" The green haired guy Said and Sage made a face at his formal apporch making her cringe at memories of how the state talked to people,Laxus quite frankly just looked relieved that there wasnt more damage done. He was thankful that this area was already falling apart and the damage could be attested to the areas decay. '' Thank you for not completely destroying the place. ''
Bella gave him her best shit eating grin she could manage, bringing to hand up to pat on his shoulder. '' I don't destroy everything I touch. See you're still alive right now." Bella tells chuckles when she says thst, " just imagine how bad it would be if Team Natsu had to do the job" he says turning to Laxus who had stiffend up at Bella's words, Sage was confused she didn't know who those people were, " so can we hurry i haven't eaten in like a week and I need to wash my ass before my hair forms any more dreads" she says as she pulls around her waist length hair to show the dreadlocks that were forming,Freed nodded, he could smell her and it wasnt pleasant. '' Well miss Sage, ive already arranged rooms for us for the night. We'll be leaving in the morning. he tells the small girl,''Well, before you go offering to take her off to a motel, let's at least get some introductions out of the way. '' Bella pointed to Freed. ''His name is Freed Justine, major nerd. No offense.'' She pointed to Bix. ''You've already met Bickslow.'' Finally she pointed to Laxus. ''This big mass of muscles and bad attitude is Laxus Dreyar. He's the masters grandson. '' She intorduces to the still Nervous Seith Mage beside her,Sage noded mentally taking notes as Bella told her, " Sup I'm Sage, I don't like people unless you give me a reason to trust you and I have a equally bad adittude, And these four are Mama,Mimi,Momo and Mini," she says ending with pointing to her girls as she called them,Bickslow looked between all of them, he didn't quite have the patience for this anymore. He clearly wasn't a fan of the other seith mage, no one touched his babies. '' Are we done with this shit? My babies and I are tired." Bickslow grumbles, Laxus glares at the girl, she looked just like her picture only difference is the black sunglasses, then to Bickslow, " yeah, what's your fucking problem you got to be a dick," he asks Bickslow,Laxus starts to walk off to the hotel rooms Freed had rented he was starving but first thing was Sage needed a shower that bitch stank to the high heveans, he smelt everything and it was making his stomach turn by the way she smelt, there was no way in hell he was going out in public with that stanky bitch he would throw her in the shower himself,''You both are being dicks, so go suck each other off and get in a better fucking mood. '' Bella tugged Sage along with her, snatching the room key from Freed.
Sage giggled at what she said as she gets dragged along, Sage sends Mimi and Mama to get her bag as they head towards the Stargazer's inn, This particular Hotel always gave Fairy Tail members a discount after the Elcipse gate
When they get to the room, Sage takes her bag from her Girl and gets out a pair of black leggings, A black tank top, a black Afi hoddie, white no show socks and a black snapback hat that has a gold star on the front, She looks at her girls telling them to watch the bathroom door, she knew they would watch from the outside, they didn't like to be in the bathroom, water made them swell and they hated it
Bella rummaged through the bag she had packed. She really needed to change, especially after riding all night on that train and the whole incident earlier. She was dirty and she didnt like that feeling. She grabbed out a black ruffle skirt with matching black spanx beneath them and a checkered button up black and white shirt. She slid on her flats and was set to go. The skirt wouldnt have been her first choice, but it was very close to laundry day and it was what she had left. She plopped down on the bed and waited for Sage to emerge.
Sage emerged a few minutes later fully dressed and using her fingers to comb threw her hair she had lost her brush some we're and need a new one but it would have to wait, she put her dirty clothes in her bag, before turning to Bella it's all yours now, she watched as Bella left then pulled Mama down to her, The tiki vibrated I'm her lap, as if it was telling her she made the right choice, Mama was the secret Sage would take to her grave, Mama was the seith Mage who had taught Sage how to control her magic after she had killed her foster parent, When she died she bound her soul into Sage's first doll to watch over her,
Bella didn't take very long in the shower, preferring to rush back out to her friend, fully clothed of course. She let her raven hair hang in thick wet curls, having only just towel dried it. She looked to Sage. ''You know, I've got a brush in my bag you can use. I rarely use it with this curly mess. '' Bella tells her friend
Sage looks up from her conversation with Mama and to Bella " thank you" , Sage looked back down to Mama, The doll leaves her lap to go play with the others, Sage rolled her eyes serious one moment children the next
'' I don't know about you, but I could definitely go for a drink right now. '' She smiled to Sage, watching as her girls played.
Sage nods and gets up, wanting for Bella it had been a while since she had a drink, Sage also knew that Mama would follow make sure she was ok, " Mama stay and play I"ll be ok" she says and the doll bonks her head in protest till Sage's flash from behind her shades and doll floats off to sulk
In the hotel there was a bar nestled back in the far corner. It was fully stocked and music was playing in the background. The two girls sat down at the bar and ordered the first round of drinks.
Bella guzzled down drink after drink. Like any true Fairy Tail mage, she was a strong drinker, although not quite like Cana. Moonshine was her drink of choice tonight, it always had made her a happy drunk.
Sage smiled and took on long drink enjoying the taste of it since it had been so long since she had a drink, " did you even taste that? " She asked Bella
It's not long before the men join them, Laxus ordered him two drinks and drank them back to back
Bella gave her a nod and a smile, downing her eight drink. '' I did at first.. My tongue is kinda numb to it now. ''
Laxus had ordered himself two more and chugged them down just so he could catch up to Bella, which he knew was a losing battle since she drank with Cana most of the time,Laxus had ordered himself two more and chugged them down just so he could catch up to Bella, which he knew was a losing battle since she drank with Cana most of the time,
Sage laughed as she took her second drink of her first than starting on her second glaring at Bickslow, she didn't know why but something about him rubbed her the wrong way
Bella looked over and seen Laxus steadily gulping down drinks, she knew he was trying to keep up, but it wouldn't work. She ordered four more drinks and had them down in no time. She sent Laxus a sloppy smile. Bixlow was keeping mostly to himself, he really didn't feel like over indulging himself on alcohol, he was still very weary of that Sage woman. He didn't trust her as far as he could throw her, which in reality would probably be a good distance. She was a small woman, couldn't be no more than 5'1.
Laxus returned Bella's sloppy smile with one of his own,
Laxus was losing the battle fast and had to figure out a way to to keep up
Bella couldn't help but giggle, she liked seeing the frustrated look on his face when he knew he wouldnt win. ''Come on sparky, cant you keep up?''
Laxus glared at her growling in frustration at her remark, " Not everyone drinks with Cana , Destructo" he said as he slammed back another, slamming the cup on the counter signalling the bar keep,
Bickslow leaned back in his chair, watching the two drink. In a normal instance, he would be right there with them, but with their current situation someone had to keep a level head and sadly Freed wasnt even around to do it. He had found a small library next to the hotel and was spending his time there. Bickslow looked over at Sage, if she wasnt so shady, and hadnt touched his baby, he would have probably been over there drinking and flirting away with her.
Bella slammed back two more drinks, eyeing Laxus intently. ''Hey hey hey now mister sparky pants, thats Gildarts, not me." She slurrs the booze getting to her head.
Sage felt Bickslow's stare and glared back at him, She was sorry and realized she should have left his baby alone knowing that seith mage's vessels we're special and she had messed up by touching his, but him glaring at her was pissing her off to no end, " Take a picture it lasts longer" She says as she flashes her eyes at him from behind her shades
Laxus laughed at Bella's remark " Right and who taught you your magic? Guildarts so does that make you Destructo Jr then?" He asked, The alcohol was getting to him, he never found Bella this attractive
Bickslow returned her flash with one of his own. He reached into his pocket, pulling out the one the master had given them, holding it up for her to see. ''I've already got one toots, and trust me I didn't want it when I got it." Bickslow snaps at her
" Whoo you got one of my Many mugshots, I have a collection of them," she says as she gets up , she taps Bella's shoulder
Bella turned her gaze over to Sage after poking her tongue out at Laxus. She was having a blast at the moment.'' Why aren't you drinking Sagey Wagey?''
" I'm going back to the room, I don't like being stared at" she says as she points her head in Bickslow's direction, " you have fun though" she tells her as she walks away back to the room and unlocks the door flopping on her bed and jamming earbuds in before turning on her music lacrima to Pull Pin Throw and curling up with her girls, this was why she avoided people,
Bella waltzed over to Bix, frowning. She knew why he was being an ass, it was over his baby. ''You know, just give her a break. You would have taken control over hers if you had to. She thought she had to.'' Bella didn't even wait for his response, instead going back to Laxus. Oddly she was really enjoying his company, and it was probably the alcohol talking, but damn he looked good in those tight fitting jeans.
Laxus gave her a devious smile as he looked her over , damn she should wear skirt's more often they made her legs and ass look amazing, Although he would never admit it, Bella was one of the best looking Mage's in Fairy Tail even better looking than Blondie.
Bix took a moment and mulled the thought over. He didn't like her reprimanding him, but she was right. He probably would have done the same thing if need be. It was a taboo among seith mages, but if the need arose... He shook his head, getting up from the bar and making his way back towards their adjoining rooms. He would break down and apologize...
Bella ordered another drinking, nearly falling into to Laxus. Her cheeks grew red and warm, a feeling she wasn't familiar with. '' Party poopers.
Sage was laying on her bed listening to music loudly not wanting to be distributed by anyone or anything for that matter
Bickslow took a moment, trying to think of how to say it. He wasn't good at apologizing, simply because he never really had to before. He stepped into the bathroom that connected their rooms and leaned his frame against the door. He waited a moment and began beating on the hard wood, waiting for her to answer.
Sage heard the banging over her music and groaned getting up to answer it, when she opens she sees Bickslow, " oh it's you," she says as she walks away half closing the door, Mama and Momo stop infort of him " Hurt Feelings" they chirp at him,
Bickslow wrung his hands through his hair, being very careful not to touch her dolls. He struggled with finding the right words to say to her. '' Look.. I uh.. I'm not good at this, but I'm sorry for being an ass as Bella calls me. My babies are very precious to me, and no one aside from Bella had ever touched them.. Let alone take control of one of them. If I would have had to, I'd have done the same thing.. '' He tells her keeping his voice even,
Sage watched him before she answered him" Apology accepted, I'm sorry I even took it over, I'd probably be mad if you took over one of mine" she said she chose her next words before asking " we cool" she asks him,
Bickslow gave her a nod. ''Yeah, were definitely cool. Although, I'm not sure we should have left those two drunk unattended. '' He chuckled, flashing her a genuine smile.
Sage thought for a moment" your probably right" she said as she turned off her music and told her girls to stay " wanna go check on them? " She asks as she returns a smile
Bickslow nodded, holding the door open for her. '' Knowing Bella, she's completely trashed by now and will probably try to start a fight with Laxus. ''
Sage thanks him, " is she that bad of a drunk ?" She asked since it had been so long since she'd seen Bella she honestly didn't remember, she feels a tbunp on her head " I meant it Mama stay" she says as she closes the door behind her, The tiki chirps in protest again before going to sulk some more
Laxus had a hold of her and was leaning in towards her with every intention of kissing her
He didn't know if it was the alchol or his own feelings but he was definitely gonna found out
Bella was frozen in his arms, truth be told she hadn't really let any many touch her for this long since the days of her foster father, and she didn't exactly let him. Her cheeks were growing redder and redder by the second as she stayed frozen, she was going to allow it. She closed her eyes and waited.
Bickslow and Sage were both walking back into the bar at this point. Honest to god he was shocked at the sight infront of him. He gently grabbed Sage's arm, stopping her from proceeding any further. He wanted to see how this would play out. '' oh ho ho. This is interesting.''
Emy
Laxus was inches from her face the smell her breath and general, It was just sinful even with the smell of alchoal on her breath.
Bella was growing impatient with his slow advance. Taking matters into her own hands, she crashed her lips down on his, hard. Bickslow couldnt believe his eyes, and he knew she wouldnt believe him in the morning. Thankfully he had his lacrima phone with him and had began recording
Sage stood there slack jawed as she watched them, she then looked at Bix who was recording it
Bix looked back at Sage. '' I swear to you, most of the time they are trying to kill each other
Sage laughed " I believe you but this is just funny I may have to ask her if he's a good kisser or not"
Bix laughed. ''Trust me, she probably won't remember much of tonight. I know when he was dating Mira, she never complained about it. ''
The kiss between the two mages grew heavier and hotter with each passing second, eventually the bar keep had to split them up. Telling them to take it back to their room.
Safe smile and looked at him"umm who's Mira?"
Laxus pulls away " wanna come back to my room" he asks her unsure of what she would say
Sage had been listening " we should Probably stop tbem before they do something they'll regret" she says to Bix
''She practically a mom figure to everyone in the guild, although she's the same age as us. She is also Laxus ex fiance. She's one of the sweetest people you'll meet, oh and she's the one handling job requests too. '' Bix returned her smile. She looked awful pretty when she smiled...
Bella thinks about it for a moment, or atleast as best as she can in her drunken stupor. She almost had agreed when Bickslow and Sage made their way over to stop them before the did somthing they'd regret later
Sage nods she really couldn't wait to meet everyone at the the guild, she was also wondering what Bix looked like under his mask
"nope no Drunken humping for you "Sage says as she grabbed Bella out of his lap
Bix could hardly keep a straight face seeing her sitting in his lap. He saw her face grow redder and her eyes grow wide. She turned to Sage, smiling before taking a tumble to the floor, laughing while she laid there.
Sage looked at her" you need to go to bed now you've had way to much Bella" she says as she picked her up of the floor despite her small size she was pretty strong
Bickslow placed his hand on Laxus shoulder, giving it a pat. ''Same for you man. Youll be hung over for sure in the morning if you dont.''
Bella gave Sage puppy dog eyes, almost pleading with her. ''Can he come cuddle with me then?''
Laxus looked at Bickslow like he was public enemy number one before mumbling something under his breath, " I'll be fine" he says a he brushed off his hand
Sage smiled and looked at her drunk friend " umm no that's a really bad idea, how about I cuddle with you or We have what's his face babysit Laxus and Bickslow cuddles with you if you need cuddles that bad" Sage tells her while holding her up,
Bickslow laughed when he seen the death glare on his face when Sage mentioned him cuddling with Bella. This was too funny, he wasn't going to let either of them live this down.
Bella pouted for a moment before wrapping herself around Sage, nuzzling in like a child. ''We can go cuddle like we did as kids, forget the boys. ''
Sage smiles at her " fine by me, I think Laxus would have killed Bickslow for cuddling with you anyways," Sage puts her arm around her shoulders and begin to walk her down the hallway to their room looking back to see Bickslow doing the same thing and she smiled back at him, He was pretty cool even if they had a rocky introduction
Fast forward to the morning.
As soon as the sun rose, Freed was steadily beating on both sets of doors, insisting that they get themselves up and ready to go. The train back to Magnolia would be boarding in an hour and a half. He knew they had been drinking last night and if he didn't start now, they would never get moving.
Bella groaned, rolling herself out of the bed, clad in only her bra and panties. She opened the door and stared Freed down. ''Unless you want to end up in a million pieces, I suggest you back the fuck off. '' She slammed the door in his face.
Sage groaned before she got up dressed the same way" fuck man, that's such a nice alarm clock" she grumbles as she puts her pants on
Once she is dressed she begins to pack her bag and make sure she has everything, she sighs and shoulders her bag after she had her shoes on, ",there better be fucking coffee somewhere" she says as she waited for Bella
Bella didn't really want to move, but non the less did. She grabbed her bag, getting out the only other article of clothing she brought.. A dress. She despised it, but it was what she had. It was black and white in color and only went down to just above her knees. The top part was white and had a sweet heart neck line and the bottom was black and ruffly. She slid on her flats and was ready to go.
''There is in the lobby.'' Bella answers
The guys were already waiting outside the room for them. Naturally it took them less time to get dressed. Bickslow grinned at Sage, remembering the events of last,
Sage tried to hold in a laugh as she smiled back at him, If she could have she would have told him to tell them later but she was to tired to remember how to use that part of her magic, she runs over to the coffee pot and pours her a cup of it after putting lots of cream and sugar
Bella followed suit to the coffee pot, leaving Bix and Laxus standing together.
Emy
She takes the first drink and moans instatly as the hot liquid hits her tounge, after one cup she is awake and ready to go, even if she was nervous, She sees Laxus and Bickslow standing there and she looks at Bix rolling her eyes to Laxus hoping he got the hint she didn't want to freak him out by soul jumping just to relay the message, she didn't know if he knew how to soul jump
Bickslow looked over to Laxus, who appeared to be suffering from a mild hang over. ''You remember anything from last night?'' He asked
Laxus looked over at him and thought for a moment, " no why?" He honestly did remember but was trying to keep it to himself, he didn't know if she felt the same way about him,
Bix patted his shoulder, shaking his head with a laugh. ''Oh lord, It was an interesting night. '' he Chuckles
Laxus's face fell into shock Bix knew and he would never let it down, he would never tell anyone but he would always drop little hints or make jokes now because it was Bix,
As long as Laxus had known him knew that if you gave him a reason Bix would make sure you never had dull moment, Laxus had just became a punch line
Bix knew that he remembered, he could see the recognition on his face. He grew a devious smirk. ''So you do remember.
Laxus grabs the collar of his shirt and pushes his helmet back making Bickslow look at him " keep it to yourself understand Bix? " He growls at the seith mage in his grasp, keeping his electric blue eyes on Bickslow, Thunder dancing on his skin
Bix nodded . '' Alright man, but you better hope Sage doesn't say anything. She was there too'' Even being pinned against a wall, he still found this whole situation very comical. ''Tell me something though. It wasnt just the alcohol? You actually do like her?''
Laxus let's him go and runs his hands threw his hair" wasn't the alcohol, I wasn't that drunk just buzzed, you don't think Sage will say anything do you?" Laxus asked keeping his gaze fixed to Sage who was currently drinking her second cup of coffee
Bickslow shrugged his shoulders. ''I can't really say, I don't think she would, but who knows. '' Bix looked at the two girls, Bella was also working on her second cup of coffee, hopefully it wouldn't make her hyper.
Bella groaned, bringing her hand around to run her hip, it was sore.'' What the hell happened last night?'' She looked over at Sage, cocking her head to one side.
Sage set her cup down and turned to Bella" oh no I'm not going to tell you anything that will get me in trouble, Sorry Bells love to death but I don't want to a lighting rod either" Sage tells her friend as she looks away acting innocent to what had happened last night, hoping Bella would put it together
Bella scratched her head, looking over at the guys. She caught Laxus staring at her, and he quickly turned his head away, blushing. Wait.. Why was he blushing?
While avoiding the subject she looks over at the guys silently pleading to Bix to help, keeping secrets was not one of her qualities
It wasn't long until the train whistle could be heard, signaling that it was time to start boarding the train. The group made their way through the platforms and boarded, finding their own car. Freed had decided against sitting in the same car as them this time, not wanting a repeat of yesterday. He certainly didnt want to be puked on. He had this hunch that Sage would be a lot like her friend, and didnt want to be the subject of their pranks.
Laxus sat down and readed him self for the ride. Of death, keeping a close eye on Bella, This sucked in his opinion, He also wanted to know why Freed was sitting alone, Laxus was now just confused,
Bickslow took the seat beside Laxus, leaving the two girls on the other side of the car.
Bella looked around in the car and when her eyes locked with Laxus, everything from last night came flooding back to her. She started to panic and fidget in her seat, now making sure to look everywhere but at Laxus.
Sage saw her look and tried her best to hold in her laughter, this was gonna kill her to try and hold it in,
Bix also noticed the panic set in Bella. He fidgeted around with his phone, wanting so badly to show the video.
Laxus felt her eyes on him and looked over at her a blush on his cheeks,
Laxus groans as the train pulls forward and than noticed Bella's face" what's got your panties in a wad" he asks as he lays his head on the window hoping it would help,
Bella slid in her ear buds, feeling his gaze on her. Her cheeks were red as all get out, she tugged nervously at the hem of her dress, immediately feeling that it was too short. She found a song listen to Space Bound by Eminem, before she pressed play she looked over at Laxus. ''I.. Uh... None of your business.''
Sage watched the situation and felt like she was gonna die, she put her own ear buds in a put on Miss Murder by Afi, if someone did say something she was gonna lose it,
Laxus was dumbfounded as he looked at her, She wasn't gonna say anything?
Bix couldn't take it anymore. The awkward tension in the air. This would be a long ride. ''Alright lets get this shit clear, I can't take the awkwardness.'' He brought out his phone and dangled it infront of them. ''I'm assuming you two remember last night? If not I've got a lovely little video for you to watch. '' He say
Sage looked at Him and mouthed " Thank you" to him, Laxus blushes even more trying to focus on not puking in the floor, his stomach was turning from the train and the tension in the air,
Laxus turns to him, " just play it and get it over with" he was over this whole mess, he would be glad when she knew and they were in Magnolia
Bella turned her head, not wanting to see. ''I remember what happened. '' she turned to look at Laxus before getting up her nerve. '' I don't regret what happened, and I'm sorry if you do. ''
Laxus looked at her and shook his head letting her no he didn't but words were not on his mind at the moment only thing was trying to keep his breakfast down
Bella was a little surprised at his response, she knew he wouldn't be much for words right now, dragon slayer sickness and all. She hinted for Bix to let her take his seat, and when he did, she sat down beside him. She pulled Laxus large frame down to let his head rest in her lap, where she gently stroked her fingers through his hair, not saying a word. Laxus sighed in relief at the situation and let himself fall asleep, maybe that would keep his gut in check,
