Tribute to my third favorite celestial spirit, Aquarius. I personally think she and Lucy made a great brotp xD.

Disclaimer: I don't own fairy tail or its characters.

Day 1

Aquarius

The large luxurious tub filled with warm herb infused water took more the half the size of the spacious bathroom and everything was painted in gold color. It was the room worthy of nobles and royals but currently, it was occupied by a small child wrapped in a big fluffy white towels, her long blonde hair wet and dripping down her back. She was giggling, which was not the sound people usually heard from the girl, but it was surprisingly light-hearted. Her little hands cupped the water from the bath and splashed at the other occupier in the room.

'Come on! Splash me, Aquarius!'

Her innocent, child-like playfulness instead of drawing a laughter from the adult, irritated the blue-haired mermaid. Floating above the water, continuously getting splashed in the face by the heiress made the vein in her forehead popped.

'Don't summon me every time you take a bath, little girl!'

Aquarius yelled at the child and used her magic to control the water in the tub and sprayed them in every direction of the room, taking the little girl along aw well with the wave.

'I'm sorry!'

'How many times do I have to tell you?! Don't summon me from the goldfish bowl. That's for the goldfish! It's got a tail!'

The mermaid floating in the air in the middle of the hallway scolded the girl in a sleeveless pink dress, dark aura coming off the bristling celestial spirit. But the girl looked like she was not scared of the terrifying mermaid, instead looked like she's on the verge of a breakdown. Her eyes were filled with loneliness, her heart thirsted for an affection, an intimacy her cold father denied her. Still, the smart mouthed girl spoke what's on her mind out loud.

'You've got a tail too, Aquarius!'

Aquarius looked taken back at the girl's audacity. She was getting braver every year.

'Huh? You summon me from the goldfish bowl and then quibbled on top of it?!'

'What's "quibble"?'

She sighed and threw her head back, eyes shut. She was tired of having to come out and play with Layla's daughter every time she got bored. Dammit, she was not her playmate.

'Jeez. Play with human kids once in a while!'

'There aren't any here.'

Her eyes opened at the girl's quiet voice. She sounded sad. She looked at the girl looking across the hallway, at her dad's study room.

'That's why I'm lonely. I'm happy when you come here, even when you're angry at me. I'm sorry.'

'Che' (? A/N: not sure how it's spelled)

The mermaid made a sound and looked at the direction where the girl was staring at.

Splash.

Lucy's eyes opened when she felt another person joining her in the bath. Something soft touched her hair and she sighed lovingly and leaned back against the warm, solid chest behind her. His warmth filled her heart. He was not overly warm like a fire dragon slayer, Natsu but it was enough to chase away the coldness in her soul. He was her savior, her equal partner in every definition possible. The love of her life.

'Hey handsome.'

A muscular arms wrapped around her bare waist and pressed her tighter against the equally naked flesh.

'Hey baby. What're you thinking?'

She planted a soft kiss on his jaw which was starting to show a five o'clock shadow but she loved the feeling of the stubbles teasing her soft flesh. She thought it was sexy as hell.

'Aquarius. I used to summon her whenever I took a shower because I was lonely.'

Laxus rubbed his cheek against her wet hair and she smiled when she thought the big man reminded her of a cat sometimes. She had never thought this grumpy man would be such a softie. He loved to cuddle and spoil her with surprises all the time. She was such a lucky woman.

'My poor baby. I'm sorry your childhood was so painfully lonely.'

Lucy turned in his embrace and cupped his cheek softly before looking deep into his blue-grey eyes that reminded her of a sky before a storm. Her fingers danced along the scar across his right eyes. The feel of rough skin beneath her fingers told her that this man went through a lot of pain in his youth as well and he came out as an amazing man that he was today.

'We both had painful pasts but it's ok because we have each other now and we will make sure our future is filled with happiness.'

Laxus's beautiful eyes ran across her face, taking in all her delicate features like he was scared he was going blind and was soaking in all her beauty before the darkness descended. Lucy smiled and stretched to plant a kiss on his lips. Their kiss was gentle and soft, as opposed to their usual rough and passionate make-out sessions. After a few seconds, Lucy pulled back and rested her head on his chest.

'And having Aquarius helped me out a lot. Even though she complained when I made her played with me, she complied in the end. She was my first best friend.'

Laxus felt the water running across his chest and knew it was not from the shower he had earlier before he joined Lucy in the tub. A sniff from the little blonde woman confirmed his suspicion.

'I miss her.'

Laxus lifted her face and tear-filled caramel eyes and a red nose met him. He would never tell her this but she was so cute when she cried which was why he liked to bully her sometimes. But now, her tears were tearing his hearts open.

'I know baby. And I'm sure she missed her too. Plus, I have a feeling that we're very close to finding her eyes.'

Lucy giggled softly through her sob. She had been looking for Aquarius key all across the globe for a few years already and she still had no clue on where her key might be in this wide, wild world.

After the big war with Zeref and Acnologia was over and the fairies were back together again, she had quitted team Natsu, much to her team mates' dismay and had done a lot of solo works in hope that she would come across the gold zodiac key in one of her missions. She hadn't found her first friend but she had run into something equally precious, her soul mate.

She had been on one of her solo missions when she had been blasted pretty badly by a dark mage and nearly gotten herself killed when a cavalry in the form of the large lighting mage rescued her and shocked the living hell out of the culprit. That's how their love story started and she had never been happier.

After they got together, she told Laxus about her actual mission, a thing she had promised herself that she would do after the war was over. Laxus told her that the chance of Aquarius key being in Magnolia was pretty thin so, they temporarily quitted Fairy Tail to search for it, promising all their nakamas that they would come back one day. It had been two years since that fated day, the day that Laxus promised to Lucy that he would follow her to the end of the earth.

Laxus picked up the smaller blonde and stepped out of the tub and carried her to the bed, both dripping water everywhere.

'Laxus. We're wetting the floor.'

'It'll dry in the morning.'

He carefully placed the girl on the bed and grabbed the towel on the hanger and started drying her long hair. Lucy closed her eyes and enjoyed him pampering her, her heart too full for her chest. When her hair was no longer dripping water on the sheet, he stopped to dry himself but Lucy stopped him. She took the towel from his hand and made him sit on the bed, his back against the headboard. She sat on his legs and rubbed the slightly damp towel along his spikey yet soft hair and laughed softly when he closed his eyes and purred.

'Hey Lucy.'

'Hmm?'

'Will you promise me something?'

Lucy paused and looked down at the slayer who was watching her with adoration and hope.

'What is it?'

He gently pushed Lucy from him and strode towards the chair in his birthday suit where he had flung his coat on when they had come in. Lucy, still sitting on the bed, staring quizzically at the man looking something in his coat's pocket. Having found he was looking for, he came back to where the blonde goddess was laying on and showed her the thing in his hand.

She gasped when she saw a small black velvet box in his hand, her heart pounding hard against her ribcage. Laxus kneeled down on his one knee and opened the box. Lucy felt herself tearing up again. Inside was a simple princess-cut diamond ring and instead of a solid silver band, it was ornate stars, connected to each other and forming a band. It was so unique and so them.

'I know finding Aquarius is your top priority now but I can't wait another second to at least make sure that others know that you're mine. I'm sure you don't want a wedding without your first friend so, the wedding can wait until we find her. So, Lucy Heartfilia, will you marry me after we reunite all our family?'

Lucy couldn't see him anymore through all the tears in her eyes and her throat was stuck with her heart. She nodded wildly. She heard Laxus let out a sigh of relief and he put the ring on her ring finger. It was so perfect. Leaning closer to the bed, he kissed her passionately which she replied with an equal vigor.

'Hey Aquarius. If you can hear me right now, I wanna tell you that I'm not lonely anymore. I'll definitely find you and make you join our little family again. This time, we have a new family member. He's a little rough around the edges but he's a sweetheart. I'm sure you will love him.' She thought in her head.

But before she could say anything more, Laxus covered her body with his and at the feel of his warm body, she threw all her thoughts out her window. All she could think was how much she loved this man and thanked god for bring him into her life.

A/N: And done! I want this chapter to be sweet and adorable so, no lemons, sadly. And I will try to upload according to the timetable I can't make any promises. The theme for tomorrow is, Devilish. Hehe. I will try to think so something spicy. ;]
