Just Like Every Morning
Lucy Heartfilia & Laxus Dreyar
Just like every morning, Lucky kicked open the guild doors, announcing her arrival. Just like every morning, Lucy grabbed her strawberry smoothie from Mira at the bar (who always had it ready). Just like every morning Lucy took her smoothie to her teams table, where just like every morning: Gray had lost his clothes, and was fighting with Natsu, Erza was eating her strawberry cake and talking with Lisanna, and Wendy was giggling at Happy's attempts to woo her white exceed. Lucy sat at the table, sipping her smoothie and smiling at her team mates – her family. And just like every morning for the past week, Lucy turned to find the eyes she felt on her back: the deep blue gaze of the blonde lightning mage across the room. The deep blue unashamed gaze that was making the owners interest very clear. Blushing, Lucy turned back to her team, and proceeded to join the conversation with Lisanna and Erza, the feeling of the hungry eyes on her back making her stomach do flips. All she had to do was wait for him to make his move.
