A/N: Alright so I know I told some people that I would not be doing a BID for Laxus, but after much consideration (and the many requests to do one) I have changed my mind. I am not sure when I will be starting it, but I am hopping soon. For now though here is the LALU story I have already started. Not fully 100% sure this story would actually be considered M but some of the comments and situations that are planned at the moment are on the border line between T and M. Hope you guys like.

Torn Apart

Chapter One

She flung her arm across the bed looking for the warm body that was normally there, but found that side of the bed cold. She shot open her eyes and looked around the room for the black haired, red eyed slayer that she normally shared a bed with. It took her mind a moment to wake up to remember that he had not been there for a week and he would never be there again. She would be lying if she said that she didn't miss the iron dragon slayer, but she couldn't say she was upset about their relationship coming to an end. Don't get her wrong it was amazing while it lasted, but over the last year they had grown apart and their eyes began to drift to other people. She wasn't sure exactly sure when she fell out of love with Gajeel and started to fall for a certain blonde haired dragon slayer. She was miserable though when she realized that she was in love with her boyfriend's best friend. She kept her feelings hidden for six months and she tried her hardest to make her relationship with the dark haired man work, but nothing brought back the love that she had once felt for the man. She still loved him as a friend but couldn't love him the way two lovers should love one another. It was a week ago that she came clean about her feelings expecting the iron dragon slayer to start yelling. She was very surprised when instead he broke down in a fit of laughter and came clean about him feelings for her best friend Levy. She couldn't stop the giggles from coming at finding out they had both fallen for each other's best friend. It was the easiest break up she ever had and because of that they were able to keep their friendship intact.

Lucy stretched her arms high above her head and arched her back trying to stretch every muscle in her upper body. She let out a satisfied moan as she felt her back pop in three different places. The blonde haired woman kept her body like that for a couple more minutes enjoying to small amount of pleasure she got from stretching out her tense muscles. A relaxed sigh escaped her lips as she finally relaxed her body. After that she wasted no time in throwing her blankets off of herself and headed to the bathroom grabbing a towel along the way.

Lucy knew that today was going to be an eventful day and wanted to get to the guild hall as quickly as she could. The celestial maiden wanted to spend some time with Laxus before having to leave later this evening on a mission with Gajeel and Levy. Gajeel had tried his hardest to get the lightning dragon slayer to accompany them but he had already committed to leaving on a request with his team tomorrow. 'There are other things I can do to keep myself entertained on this mission," Lucy thought with a mischievous smirk on her face. Yes she was going on a request with her ex and his soon to be new girlfriend but her main goal was operation Gajevy! Secretly she had been conspiring with Mira to get the two together faster and between the two of them they had come up with some pretty good ideas. She was tired of the iron dragon slayer's excuse of he wasn't going to pursue Levy until she had bagged Laxus and this two week long request was going to put an end to that.

Lucy exited the shower, wrapping the fluffy pink towel tightly around her body, and proceeded to pick up her brush to take it quickly through her hair without ripping any out. She had just finished brushing her hair and was getting ready to blow dry it when a knock on her front door froze her in place. She knew it wasn't her team and she was unsure who it could be. Natsu always used the window by her bed, Gray had a bad habit of climbing down her chimney, and Erza always just let herself in using the spare key. Even they had stop just wondering in when they felt like it though when Natsu had come through the window when Gajeel and herself were in the middle of knocking her headboard into the wall and landed right on top of them. The pink haired idiot claimed that he thought she was being attacked and needed to be saved. She couldn't really say she wasn't being attacked but it wasn't the kind of attack that she had needed to be saved from. The only other people that came over are Gajeel, Levy, Cana, Wendy, and Laxus and his team, but they never came over unannounced. The blonde celestial mage was snapped out of her thoughts when the banging on her door became more demanding.

"I'm coming damn it! Don't get your panties in a bunch!" Lucy yelled down the stairs before heading back to her room to put some clothes on. She was irritated by the person's impatience and it was bring out her 'Gajeel' side as she liked to call it. What could she say though, she was with the man for two and a half years and she was bound to pick up some of his bad habits along the way. She quickly threw on a loose fitting shirt she normally slept in and a pair of Gajeel's gym shorts that were lying around that he still had yet to pick up.

"What the hell do you want?" Lucy swung her door wide open ready to deliver the person a Lucy Kick to the head, but she never got the chance to. Before she was even able to catch a look at the person that had been rudely banging on her door a large blast of magic hit her chest and sent her flying through the wall behind her.

Laxus and Gajeel sat at a table drinking their beer and just enjoying the quiet that was a rarity when in Fairy Tail's guild hall. It came as no surprise though when the three most destructive mages had left that morning to go on a request. They just felt sorry for the poor unexpecting town that would be leveled by the end of the day. Why the master didn't disband the team for how much destruction they caused was beyond them, but they had a feeling it was because of a certain blonde celestial mage was on that team. Though the master of Fairy Tail would never admit to it Lucy and Mira were his favorites in the guild.

"Sparky, when are you going to ask Bunny out?" Gajeel asked with a smirk on his face. He had been working on trying to get the two hocked up the past few days but the lightning dragon slayer didn't seem to be going for it. He knew it wasn't because the large man didn't gave feelings for her because he saw the way the blonde male looked at the little blonde female. He had a feeling it was more along the lines of the unspoken rule of not dating your friend's ex, but Gajeel had never really been on for rules.

"Sorry Metal Head, I don't do sloppy seconds." Laxus didn't bother looking at the iron dragon slayer and kept looking at the other members of the guild. He was trying to keep a look out for his team and keep his mind off Blondie, but it wasn't working out like he had planned. It was now a little past ten and the young woman was never later than nine to show up at the guild hall. That was reason enough for him to be a little on edge. The blonde male had even noticed the dark haired male across from him looking at the clock about every five minutes so he knew he was starting to get a little worried.

"Trust me it is not sloppy. Every time I fucked her it seemed tighter than the last." Gajeel had to hold back the laugh that was threatening to spill out as his fellow dragon slayer started to chock on his beer. He wanted to make the man squirm some and hopefully he would realize how much of an idiot he was being. While Laxus was trying to get his breathing back, the pierced face man looked up at the clock once again and had to fight the urge to run to Bunny Girl's house to make sure she was all right. They might not be together anymore but that didn't mean he stopped caring about her.

"Gajeel you ass clown! I don't need to know that shit!" The blonde haired dragon slayer had to fight back his dragon instincts to rip the man sitting across from him head off. He didn't know why his dragon side had started acting up when it came to Fairy Tail's celestial mage, all he knew was it started six months ago. Everyday Lucy and Gajeel were together he had to fight himself to not beat his best friend to a bloody pulp and since they were now broken up it was a struggle to not bed the sexy blonde female.

Gajeel just shrugged as he started to look around the guild for the young woman they had been talking about. "Well if you don't then someone else will." The iron dragon slayer saw the huge man across from him stiffen at his words, but ignored it and continued his search. "Bunny is still not here. Come on Spark Plug we are going to go check on her."

"I think Blondie has rubbed off on you."

"What can I say; she comes up with some good names for you."

Both dragon slayers made their way out of the guild hall in a hurry, wanting to get to the blonde's house as fast as possible. Neither one of them said a word the whole way there, not really wanting to voice their concern. Both men were hoping that she was just running behind and they would run in to her on the way there, but more of their hope died the closer they got to the young woman's home. Laxus was the first to notice Lucy's front door wide open but no blonde hair in sight. The blonde slayer wasted no time in turning himself into lightning and putting himself in the middle of her living room.

"Lucy!" Laxus yelled as panic started to take over when he saw the large hole in the wall. The rest of the downstairs looked to be untouched; the only thing that was off besides the hole in the wall was the small traces of blood that laced the air. He quickly made his way upstairs, yelling her name as he went, to continue his search. He froze in horror when he got to her bedroom.

Gajeel finally caught up with Laxus and ran to the man's side. He froze when he saw the look of heartbreak and terror on his fellow slayer's face. He followed the lightning slayers line of sight and felt his heartbreak. For anyone who knew Lucy this would be a living nightmare. The girl's room was just the way she left it and someone that didn't know the blond would see nothing wrong with it. They did know Lucy though and to see her gate keys on her bedside table screamed that something was very wrong. Lucy never went anywhere without her keys.
