Hey! This is practically my first ever Laxus and Lucy fanfiction since all I write about is Sting and Lucy! I did this with my freetime as I was bored but I'm hoping that something good will become out of this. Basically, this is Laxlu this time. :D And I hope you enjoy this new fanfiction!

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail :3

When Lightning Strikes

It was a normal lunch afternoon in Fairy Tail. Spoons, forks, and other silverware were being flung all over the guild hall, the crunching of food, and socializing from the guild members echoed throughout the hall.

Lucy watched as Natsu and Gray rolled around the guild floor punching each other which was a part of their daily brawl as she soon sighed to herself. Erza had gone out with Jellal on what she called "a mission" which Lucy didn't believe one bit, and Levy was off on another date with the Iron Dragon Slayer.

"And why're you just sitting over here, sulking?"

Lucy then looked up to see Mirajane smiling at her with gleaming dark blue eyes. She swirled the straw around in her strawberry milkshake, before she finally opened her mouth.

"Well Erza's possibly going out with Jellal, and Levy is already with Gajeel. And then here is me, no boyfriend experience Lucy."

"You've got that right" Cana said as she chugged down her barrel of booze, "I mean you could probably have anyone you want, but you're just so prude sometimes."

Lucy let out a groan which made Mira chuckle lightly. She knew that Lucy had no experience in dating even though she'd have a man give her the eye every time they'd go out on a job. But it seems that Lucy had never given anyone the opportunity.

Cana then removed the barrel from her lips, "What about Natsu?"

Now, Lucy had possibly thought on having a relationship with the Fire Dragon Slayer, but it seemed like Natsu would be the type of person that wouldn't know what to do. Like whether he should hold her hand or not. Besides, it was already quite obvious to Lucy that Natsu had feelings for Lisanna.

"I don't think Natsu is even thinking of having a girlfriend yet" Lucy said shaking her head slowly, "Right now I'd probably be chatting with Levy about our novels or walking around Magnolia with Erza."

Cana thought real hard, "Then how about Gray? He seems like someone who would know what to do in a relationship."

"Juvia would literally kill me if I did" Lucy then shivered to the thought, "And he's more like a brother to me than a boyfriend."

"See what I mean?" Cana said raising her barrel to her mouth as she spilled the liquid into her mouth, "You're picky when it comes to men."

Mira then snapped her fingers with an amused expression. Now that was when Lucy could tell that was one of Mira's matchmaking schemes that worked almost most of the time.

"This better not be another plan of almost getting me raped Mira" Lucy said with her arms crossed against her chest as she let out a breath. The last time Mira set up a blind date for Lucy, she technically almost got raped on the way, and never experienced her ever real date.

Mira sweat dropped as she shook her head, "Oh no this won't be a blind date this time. This time, I'll be sure to pick someone from the guild!"

Oh Mavis, no. Lucy thought to herself.

Mira then waved her hand in the air, "Hey everyone! Which one of you lucky boys wants to become the new boyfriend of Lucy Heartfilia?"

Lucy felt her body was completely lifeless once the Strauss sibling had announced that. She slammed her head onto the bar counter as then hollers came from the male guild members. Not only did Mira just embarrass the crap out of her, she just announced it to the whole male population of their guild. And who knows which one of them would be the lucky one to become her boyfriend.

Mira then suddenly appeared with a small box, and a few pieces of paper, "Alright everyone I'm going to put each of your names in here and whoever I call out will be the lucky winner!"

Lucy then smacked her forehead as it soon left a red handprint on it. What did Mira think she really was some object or prize? She then felt a small pat on the back which was Lisanna who was chuckling to herself.

"Oh don't worry Lucy!" Lisanna said with an encouraging tone, "I'm sure Mira will probably grab a good guy for you. Trust me, I swear Mira has these powers to pick the person you're supposed to be with, and sometimes it's the most unexpected person."

Lucy gave Lisanna a small smile. Maybe Lisanna was right, knowing Mira she would pick just the right person she'd think would be best for the celestial mage. She was just hoping that what Lisanna had just told her was true, if not then she was going to freak. The only person she was hoping Mira wouldn't draw was him.

Lucy then turned her head into his direction where he was sitting in a chair with his eyes shut close as Freed kept complimenting him and telling him how great he was. She could honestly tell that he wasn't listening since he had those headphones on the side of his head as usual.

Laxus was the person she was hoping Mira wouldn't draw. His ego was just too huge for herself to handle, and it didn't help him one bit gaining points with Lucy when he called her big boobed, and only agreed to help them during the Phantom Lord incident if Lucy had become his woman. I guess it was his personality that irritated her the most.

Lucy didn't noticed that she was soon staring at the Lightning Dragon Slayer as his eyes soon snapped open staring into her chocolate brown eyes. She felt like the wind was knocked out of her since he had caught her staring at him when he had his eyes completely shut.

She felt a sudden warmth rush to her cheeks as she soon turned her head away from Laxus trying to forget on what had just happened. She shook her head as she brushed away that embarrassing moment as Lisanna soon pressed her hand against Lucy's forehead.

"Are you feeling alright?" Lisanna said tilting her head, "You feel a little warm. Should we call over Wendy?"

Lucy then shook her head as she waved her hands, "N-No I'm feeling alright!" She then felt the warmth coming back to her cheeks. That was honestly the most embarrassing thing that she has ever done, and especially since he had caught it in action.

"I think I just need to get some fresh air" Lucy said standing up from the bar stool swiftly as Lisanna raised an eyebrow at the celestial mage. Lisanna soon stood up behind Lucy with a smile curled onto her lips.

"I'll come with you" Lisanna said with a smile, "I mean in case your temperature goes up and you faint." She then chuckled at her own –self which made Lucy giggle as well.

Lucy and Lisanna soon began to head out the guild doors, dodging a table that almost crashed into them which was certainly no surprise to them. The guild was rowdy as ever at this time, and Lucy just wanted to step out so she didn't have to hear the person Mira calls out.

-Laxus' POV-

Tch, that was pretty weird in many ways. One moment I have my eyes shut as I tried ignoring Freed and then the next moment I open my eyes the blondie's staring at him.

I then noticed that the whole guild was all pumped up for something since Mira was behind the counter with a line of mostly the male population of the guild lined up in front of it. She's probably doing one of those stupid auctions were she whisks off one of the guys to become someone's boyfriend. As if, I'd be interested in that.

"I didn't even know this many people wanted to become her boyfriend" Evergreen said fanning herself as her eyes roamed up and down the line of males. She then let out a sigh of relief since she noticed that Elfman was nowhere to be found in the line but right besides Mira. Of course, she'd never admit to any of us her true feelings towards the Strauss Sibling.

"She's a cheerleader that's why" Bickslow said as he rested his arm on the table, "Guys always go after the cheerleaders, its common sense."

I raised an eyebrow at Bickslow who then began going on about how people always find cheerleaders attractive. Sometimes I didn't get this guy at all and how he'd make up nicknames for people.

"So are you going to participate in Mira's love auction Laxus?" Freed said as he gripped his glass of water, "I would've thought that you'd be up there in line by now, but it seems like you don't have an interest in this?"

I kicked my feet up on the table as I leaned back against my chair clasping my hands behind my neck, "I don't find anything entertaining on having to deal with some pouty princess who whines about everything."

Freed nodded his head at my answer as I turned my head away from the table noticing that the line got shorter which meant that Mira would soon be announcing the "lucky" winner soon. Tch, I was completely going to feel sorry for whoever has to be dealing with her.

I then noticed that Natsu had just put a piece of paper into the box that Mira was holding. He had a confident grin pasted onto his lips as if he knew that he had this thing in the bag. I always thought that he had his eye on Lisanna but it looks like I guessed wrong, he really did have an interest in blondie.

And even Gray was coming back from putting his name on the piece of paper in the box. Except unlike Natsu, he was watching his surroundings. Probably to make sure that his obsessive fan girl didn't see what he had just done.

"Alright everyone, it looks like we'll be announcing the winner" Mira said as she stepped onto the stage eyeing everyone. A smile was plastered on her lips as she positioned the microphone.

"First I want to say that whoever wins this better treat our blonde beauty with respect. And I seriously mean it so help me you'll have Erza and I coming after you." Mira said with a smile even though her eyes flickered with her demon persona.

Cana then cheered from her table as she raised her mug in the air, "Come on Mira, we are dying to know who's going to be the lucky winner of our precious Lucy!"

"Juvia hopes it isn't Gray-sama!" Juvia said with exaggeration as thoughts of Lucy and Gray ending up with each other raced through her mind.

This was the time I guess everyone was waiting for. I for one, found this moment quite hilarious to know the sorry sucker that would be called out. It was only a matter of seconds since Mira was reaching her hand into the box.

As Mira plucked out the name from the small box her dark blue eyes widened at the name engraved onto the piece of paper. A huge smile of mischief curled onto her lips as she opened her mouth about to speak into the microphone.

"Laxus Dreyar."

As I was about to laugh at the sorry sucker, I then froze as it soon came to me that the person Mira had just called was actually me. But that was freaking impossible, I didn't even put my damn name into the box.

All eyes then turned to me as whispering filled the room. Oh great, just great. Now everyone thinks that I have another interest into the spoiled princess. I swear, if I ever find out who put my name in the box is as good as dead.

I then stood up quickly from my seat as I decided I was going to just ignore this whole situation and just head home. There was no way I was going to deal with this at all. But as I was about to walk out the door, blondie soon emerged inside from it.

"Oh Lucy you're back!" Mira said as she began rushing up to the celestial mage, "You just missed me calling out your lucky winner." She then looked at me with a devious smile which made me give her a nonchalant expression since I knew her demon persona was kicking in.

Lisanna then appeared next to Lucy with curiosity filling her eyes, "And who's the lucky guy?"

"It's Laxus!" Mira said as she gestured her hand towards me. I then gave Mira a somewhat serious-glare expression as I then pushed my way through Lucy and Lisanna. I really wasn't in the mood at the moment for even talking things out.

All I know is that now, I'm officially the boyfriend of Lucy Heartfilia.

Just my luck.
