He had changed... Fairy Tail had already forvigen him... he hadn't ask for forgiveness to anyone but he didn't care cause all his guilt was wiped away by his actions towards the guild... or at least he thought that... for some strange reasons a lump in his throat is formed each time that she is around... a lump of guilt that he thought was washed away a long time ago... it all happened a month ago when they were both sent by Master to organize the guild's library:

-I can't believe that Gramps made me do such an insulting job like this one!- Laxus growled under his breath betting that no one could hear him... but he was wrong cause as soon as the words left his mouth he was attacked by behind. Of course he crushed the stone, that was sent towards him, with a simple thunder and was ready to attack who ever dare to hurt him but you'll know his surprise when he found out that his attacker was no other than Fairy Tail's bookworm... Levy Mc Garden- Why did you that?!- he growled hiding his surprise with his usual poker face "How didn't i notice her presence?!" he scolded himself but at the same time he was a bit, only a bit, amazed at her ability of hiding her magic from someone as powerful as him.

-Do you know that the librarians organize books?- she asked with a stern glare- And as far as i know being a librarian isn't an insulting job at all- she replied stepping in front of him. Even though he took her almost two heads the petite solid script mage stood up there with her chin held up proudly- Having muscles and great amount of magical power doesn't give you any right to step on the others!- she pocked his broad chest, annoyed by his superior attitude after all she hated guys like him. While on the other hand, Laxus wasn't able to keep his shock behind a mask anymore "Who is she? And what did she do to the sweet and cute little bookworm?" he asked himself in disbelief- If you think that this job is way out of your league so it by yourself- she challenged him with a cocky smile, starting a game... a game to know who will quit first... a game that both of them accepted, and put her hands on her hips- But don't be scared Laxus that if ever need help i'll be right here watching and judging all your moves- she teased him heading towards one of the seats of the place with a smirk placed on her lips.

The thunder dragon slayer blinked a few times still not believing what his eyes saw as well as his ears heard "He the greatest Laxus Dreyar was being scold and played by library rat! Unbelievable!"- Ok, i'll do it!- he grunted almost falling into the temptation of throwing her a thunder for a third time.

-Ne Laxus before you begin!- Levy called out for the pissed thunder mage who only glared coldly at her. She on the other hand smiled sweetly, she loved messing around with people like him- Can i use your headphones to listen to music?- she asked bating her eye lashed innocently.

"What?!" he almost shouted at the top of her lungs "She first pisses me off to then ask me a favor?!" Laxus yelled in his head, about this little to kill that girl but restrained himself remembering the kind of music he had on his lacrima-music "Two can play this game"- You can...- i smirked evilly when she clapped her hands thermally-... only if you don't take them until i tell you so. No matter how much you hate the song you'll have to listen to it.

-That's cheating!- she exclaimed.

-When did we put rules?- he replied back crooking an eyebrow, challenging her to quit.

-Uf!- she placed the headphones on her head- Let's see who looses first- both of them had a glaring competition, you could almost see the sparks flying in the room, until Levy touched the begin bottom and Laxus started to organize the library.

Levy listened amazed at the music collection that Laxus had: Queen, The Beatles, Pink, Coldplay, Luke Bryan, Imagine Dragons she chuckled at that band "Didn't expect less from a dragon slayer" she thought and continued reading the artist list of the lacrima-music there were thousands of different bands each one better than the other one and from different genres too. "Even if i hate to admit it... Laxus has a really good taste for music" the solid script mage thought, with a smile, gazing towards the man working with the books "He has a good physic, the tattoos are really sexy as well as he has nice clothes taste and looks kind of cute when he tries his best in a theme, as books are, that he doesn't know anything at all... What the hell am i thinking?!" she scolded herself trying to suppress a blush that fought to raise to her cheeks.

Meanwhile, Laxus was trying to know where the hell did each book go "Maybe Levy was right and this isn't as easy as it thought, her cocky smirk is kind of sexy... What the fuck am i thinking?!" Laxus almost drop the books he was caring at the thought that had just passed through his mind "Why would i ever use that little library rat's name and sexy in the same phrase without the no between it?! She is very short and plain, not like Mira or Cana... those are my kind of girls. However, she also has a beautiful hair that i bet is silky, enchanting eyes that shine as a couple of emeralds, a really hot ass and nice waist curves... Fuck i need to stop doing this!" the thunder dragon slayer was almost crossing the border of insanity and to add more to the mix the petite solid script mage's angelical voice began to sing under her tone one of his favorite songs (Radioactive by Imagine Dragons)... a song that expressed his process of changing from the old him to the new one he was now.

When Levy finished humming the song she was snatched away from the headphones. She blushed madly at the discovery of what had just happened "I just sang a song in front of Laxus Dreyar!", at the moment she was begging to the earth to swallow her alive in any moment.

Noticing that Laxus laughed at her, he tried it to be in friendly way but it ended up only causing her to cry. The thunder mage began to panic not knowing what to do so he just did something he saw Metal Head once do, when he thought that no one was watching, Laxus picked her up placing her on his lap and hugged her tight while burring his face in her neck- You have a very nice voice, Levy- he murmured praying to Mavis that she wouldn't be able to see his blush. When he felt her relax, he relaxed with her. For a reason having her there, between his arms, safe and sound just seemed right... no, it was perfect. He felt complete and in peace, as well as their challenging were full of fun... "Maybe i am developing a small crush on the little bookworm..." Laxus chuckled at his thought and let a small smile slip on his lips which vanished when he remembered that he almost killed her twice with his own lightnings.

Levy was having a lot of strange emotions going through her, this kind of hug was the one that Gajeel always gives her she feels sad but it didn't feel sibling like, as it always feel with Gajeel... this hug made her pulse go quicker, butterflies fly inside her stomach, she suddenly felt all the blood going to her face and she odly felt... safe "Don't get me wrong i always felt safe in Gajeel's arms, i had grown up to love him as i would love a big brother, but this kind of safe was different... not bad! But... different in a good way...".

They both stayed like that for another half an hour which only seemed to be a couple of minutes for the 'couple' to then returned to their respective jobs with Laxus admitting his defeat as a good player, giving to Levy the first point of their game.

So that was practically how the thunder mage's guilt returned. After seeing the eyes of forgiveness he couldn't stop himself of thinking that he doesn't deserved it but at least he needed to say out loud what he was feeling cause if he didn't he might explode. So he sent her a letter, to meet him here, with a pink rose, giving her a hint of his new emotions but as soon as his gazed landed on her innocent ones he knew that she didn't get the clue at all- Hi Laxus!- she grated him with a cheerful smile- Why did you call me here?

-Well Levy...- the thunder dragon slayer began with a serious tone causing the petite mage to worry- The reason why i called you was because i... i...- it was difficult to the older mage to put his pride away for a moment- I'm... so... I'm sorry!- he ended up blurting out.

The solid script mage blinked in disbelief at what she was hearing "Did he just apologize?... Did the great Laxus Dreyar apologize to me?!"- What for?- Levy asked when she had finally calmed down.

-For the Parade Incident- he murmured gazing the floor ashamed by his past acts. He almost jumps when he felt two small arms wrapping around his torso.

-It was all forgiven a long time ago- she muttered against Laxus's red t-shirt to the turned around o her high-heels and dash towards the guild after placing a kiss on the thunder mage's cheek. But not before leting the thunder dragon slayer take a peak at her to see a blush creeping on her cheeks "So i have a chance... eh?" he smirked determined to win over her the blue haired woman's heart.

"Why did i do that?!" asked herself an embarrassed Levy Mc Garden trying to calm down the blush creeping through her cheeks "Am i falling for Laxus?".
