What he had never imagined.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail.
Author's note: I will place this somewhere after the Tartarus Arc. All events happening after the chapter 392 are my imagination and theories. You don't have to agree. I think that Mavis x Laxus is a pairing with a good premise. I'll try my best to keep everything as much in character as possible. Reviews are welcome. I am renewing this chapter and also doing some beta reading to correct my typos as well as fix the story around a bit to match some of the past events of the manga.
It was something nobody had expected happening. All the guilds of Fiore united as one combined their powers and managed to stop "Face" with the help of the dragons who came out of their kids' bodies Before it would completely eradicate all magic form the continent. Natsu, Gajeel and the decisive Wendy along with Erza and Jellal all combined their power to defeat END (with no success since the book was taken by The Black Wizard Zeref) but what was not expected to happen was "Lumen Histoire" The true light. What nobody knew though when Makarov released the light was that it would bring that Fairy Tactician back to life. Not even Mavis herself knew that by using their secret weapon, which was her body in the crystal, it would release all the energy that kept her immortal and living inside it. The same Fairy who was close to Zeref's trace...closer than she would ever let anyone know. The fearful and powerful Mavis Vermillion 1st Master and founder of Fairytail.
Everything after that happened fast. Zeref was reminded the value of life after he saw Mavis living and standing in front of him and simply disappeared from everyone's sight. His plans were unknown and whatever secrets he had, he kept them to himself and didn't share them. He wasn't dead, evil like him never dies but with the guilt that he had about everything he had caused it was only natural for him to disappear to another Kingdom. Somewhere where everything that had happened would be put behind him. Somewhere where he knew it was his home and over there he was a King and not "the black wizard".
The 1st month after his disappearance was all about adjusting. The bonds of the guild were as strong as ever with their favorite spirit being among them in flesh. However soon after that most of the stronger members of the guild left to train. Mavis was back to life enjoying spending time with Makarov and Lucy while they were trying to rebuild the guild's house so their family would have a place to come back to when time would come.
And just like that a year had passed and like they all promised, they returned at the guild.
The day of their return all the members, laughed, cried, fought and celebrated the reunion of the members who had returned stronger, and some of them a bit more matured.
A few days later ~~~
"I can't handle this anymore! I want to go to some mission as well!" the petite guild master whined flailing her legs as she places her pen aside. "But First Master...we can't afford you going to missions. I don't want anything to happen to you. You are a master. Masters don't do missions!" he said stubbornly until he saw those cute emerald eyes of the young lady being watery. He turned white , his jaw dropped and jumping up and down he shouted with all his might. "Someone comfort the 1st Master!"
The only one in the Master's office was Laxus who was also focused on doing the paperwork for the damage he had caused to a church when fighting with a mage to protect his client. It couldn't be helped, Makarov was strict with him about the damages and he was forcing him to at least do the paperwork even though it was a boring task. His grandpa's yelling made him look at his direction and when he saw the pretty First guild Master almost in tears he realized that he missed something in their conversation and that his grandpa was telling him to comfort her. He wasn't good with these things. Mavis surely wasn't as petite as her astral body was but she was clearly shorter than him. 'No I can't the hurdle is too high for me' he thought remembering the last time he was told to do something about Mavis' tears.
"I want to go to missions too. Now I am a member of the guild. Not a master anymore. Let me go! Or should I tell Laxus about the time you were a rebel teen like him? I could see you even though i was in the crystal..." she smirked her eyes sparkling mischievously. She knew she would get her way with that threat. Makarov jumped up and down shouting. "Okay fine fine! But you can't go alone. Laxus you go with her! The Master's order!" he shouted pointing at his rebellious grandson. Laxus made a grimace. This was definitely troublesome. Even though Mavis was strong, she was still a bit childish and he had a hard time with her mainly because he was not that good with women or their tears. She was just troublesome like that. The kind of woman that Laxus simply couldn't handle.
"It's okay!" she nodded while the wing like decorations or her head started moving lightly. "Laxus let's go right now!" she stood up, went to grab his wrist and gently pulled him. The lightning dragon slayer looked at her with a bored expression and got up allowing her to pull him along outside and at the board with the S-class requests.
"I'll choose the …." before he had even realized it Mavis was showing him a job with a 5,000,000 jeweld reward. "We'll do this. It has the highest pay I need the money since I want to buy things. I can't keep wearing the same clothes again and again. I want to be fashionable too." she smirked mischieviously. He couldn't help but suppress his smirk as well. "Okay it looks easy." he said taking the paper from her and walked to the bar. "Mira the 1st Master and I are going to take this mission." he showed the paper "Just the two of you? Are the Raijinshuu coming with you?" she asked surprised that the fairy tactician was going with him. "Nope. Just the two of us. Besides, they went on another job together so they cannot come." he replied shrugging.
"Laxus hurry up hurry up!" Mavis whined as she was already at the door. That moment Natsu came inside jumping towards Laxus. "Laxus fight -" he was cut by Laxus punch and fell down unconscious. "This guy never knows when to stop." Gray laughed as he threw away his shirt behind.
Juvia suddenly had his shirt on her head. "Ah Gray-sama's scent is the best!" she hugged the shirt hearts flying all over the place as she wiggled her butt too. "My mistake." Gray sweatdropped not knowing how to deal with someone who has such passionate feelings for after what happened the last time he saw her before he left to train so he could control his newly found ice devil slayer powers.
"How long will you make me wait?" Mavis whined when Laxus was still talking to Mira. "Okay okay, tch. Troublesome..." he didn't like being bossed around much but in the end he respected her and did as such. He had no other choice. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to go on a mission with her.
"I'm tired." Mavis whined while she kept walking behind Laxus. She was already tired from walking so much and she was also too hungry for her own good. "Food. Water...Laxus do something!" she whined. Makarov's grandson rolled his eyes at her. He had melon pan inside his bag for himself but it seemed like he couldn't keep it a secret. "Okay we'll rest here then continue in the forest to find that rare flower okay?" he said taking out the paper bag with the melon pan and handed it to her. He was hungry too but he was a man he couldn't ignore a woman's hunger.
"Only one?" she asked taking the paper bag and sitting on the grass seiza style. "I don't have another don't be spoiled." he whined looking away from her only to suddenly see that she was offering half of it to him. He looked away pridefully. "I'm not hungry." His belly randomly started to grumble making him blush in embarrassment.
"Your stomach said otherwise. Take it. Sharing is caring, right?" she smiled warmly to him closing her eyes and tilting her head. Laxus took it looking away from her since he didn't want to face her and show his embarrassment. He took the first bite when he noticed that Mavis had already eaten hers. "How fast do you eat?!" he narrowed his eyes looking at her shocked when he noticed that she had managed to get the chocolate filling on her cheek.
"I'm fast at everything!" she said pumping her fist up. Of course she had still not realized anything. "I saw that." he tried to suppress the smirk but instead he turned away to just do so without letting her see it. "Why did you turn your head away?" she asked narrowing her eyes and Laxus turned around and pointed at her cheek before using his finger to wipe some of it from it to show her. "This." his eyes narrowed when Mavis grabbed his hand to take the chocolate off his finger with her hand then quickly licked it and proceeded to do the same to remove the chocolate from her cheek. She was embarrassed but she would not let the chocolate go to waste. It would be such a pity since it was too delicious. That action alone surprised Laxus whose eyes turned all round and lifeless. He thought that she would be a bit more lady like. For a moment she looked like a cat to him. "What?" she asked poking his strong arm muscles with her nail to make him come back to the real world.
"Nothing nothing." he lied as he came back to his sense. Naturally sharing that thought with her would only lead to one thing. Her crying, and he didn't want to have to deal with that again. It was bad enough the first time.
"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" she moaned while thinking. "What's wrong?" he asked her blinking. "Water. I finished mine..." she showed him an empty bottle of water. He kept his snarky comment to himself, out of respect and gave her his bottle. "Don't drink it all we'll find a spring soon." he nodded his head.
Whe he only had two more bites left, he noticed how Mavis started rolling around on the grass. 'Isn't she carefree' he thought smiling lightly not bothering to hide it since she couldn't see it anyway.
Finishing his share he got up but suddely Mavis pulled him down. "Roll too! It's relaxing. You need it. Serious expressions are not necessary right now." Laxus stared at her wondering how she was able to pull him down so easily with such strength but smiled softly. "Okay." he nodded and started to roll. It was an order he could not disobey it even if it made him slightly angry and uncomfortable. Eventually he had come to understand why she liked it. Remembering his childhood he started rolling around more while Mavis was rolling after him. Both laughed so much and that relaxing feeling only caused Laxus to feel more comfortable around her.
"Time to stop. Let's go back to work." she got up and quickly started walking. Laxus shook his head suppressing a smile and got up to follow her so he could reach her side quickly.
"Master don't move." he suddenly said spotting a big beatle on the master's head. "What's wrong?" she asked narrowing her eyes and turned around seeing Laxus pointing at her head. She was afraid to put her hand there but saw Laxus leaning closer and taking it from there to show. "Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" she screamed and quickly ran away into the forest hardly managing to control her disgust for bugs.
Laxus threw the beatle away and dashed after her. "Master stop!" he shouted after he finally caught up to her. "Don't leave my side like that it's dangerous in here. Grandpa will never forgive me if something happens to you." he patted her head lightly while Mavis was still trying to calm down.

Author's note: I will write more as soon as possible. I will incorporate later in this fic Jerza + Gale since I ship these couples hard. I know that Mavis and Laxus is a crazy pairing but I want to see where this can go. I will warn you that feelings and such will develop slowly. Don't expect anything crazy. I like keeping true to character and right now saying that Mavis and Laxus have feelings for one another is crazy~~ Please review?
