Hello, everyone! Here is another Laxus X Mavis fic, and it's came from an idea that Reggie S 42 gave me. Here it is!

Laxus sighed as he re-positioned himself in the giant, white armchair. He was so bored and having to sit still was making him uncomfortable. He cursed under his breath about the job. On this night, Laxus had the job of watching over First Master Mavis. Ever since the war with the dragons, Mavis had been not well. It had broken her down, and she woke up in a sweat and screaming the night after it was all over. It took a while to calm her down, but finally she went back to sleep. Soon, though, it happened again. Makarov had decided that she needed to be watched at night just in case things got worse. All guild members were to take one night and watch her. This night was Laxus's night.

He stared at her as she laid sound asleep in her bed. It was a queen bed that appeared to swallow her small, petite frame. Her long blonde hair flowed across a snow white pillow, and her white nightgown blended in with the white sheets. Laxus watched as her chest rose and fell with each little breath. He growled under his breath. He didn't understand why he needed to watch her. She seemed just fine. He had been watching her for about three hours, and she had not even moved. He pushed himself up out of the chair and headed for the door. When his hand touched the knob, Mavis let out a frightful scream. Laxus turned and rushed to her side. She was tossing about and screaming.

"Hey, wake up! Wake up!" He yelled as he shook her.

It didn't help, though. Mavis was still lost in her nightmare. Laxus yelled again and again, but it was useless.

"MAVIS!" He screamed. She lunged forward and grabbed onto him.

She tightened her arms around him and cried into his chest. He could hear her heart beating rapidly, and her sweat and tears soaked his shirt. He put one arm around her, and he felt her body shake violently. She let out a few more cries, and then the shaking stopped. She looked up, and a relieved look washed over her face.

"Laxus…" She muttered. "I'm sorry." She let go of him and wiped her eyes.

He looked down at her tear-stained and swollen face, and he didn't see First Master Mavis. No, he saw Mavis Vermillion, a fragile woman who had been through hell. He gently pushed her down and tucked her into the sheets.

He walked over and sat down in the armchair. "Just go to sleep." He said.

She looked at him nervously. "Could you come and lay beside me?" She asked. "At least until I fall asleep."

He was ready to say no until he saw the sad look in her eyes. "Fine. Whatever." He said as he got up and walked over to the bed. He laid down on top of the covers and Mavis inched closer to him. She laid her head on his arm and snuggled against him. He shifted around uncomfortably, and she giggled. She then closed her eyes and whispered, "Good night, Laxus…and sweet dreams."
