After the very awkward bathroom moment Laxus set a very blushing Lucy down on her bed. "Blondie if you don't calm down your face is going to stay as red as Natsu's flames." With thoughs words Lucy started to cry. "Woah Luce I was only joking" Laxus said as He wiped the tears from her cheeks with his thumbs. Lucy took a deep breath and said "it wasn't what you said that upset me. It was just the reminder of that big fat idiot." " I thought you two were best friends and he's almost always attached to your hip."
"Laxus" Lucy said slowly as she staired into his eyes "He left a few days ago. Only leaving me a note saying that he was going to train for a year. Didn't even come to say goodbye." She broke out into sobs. Laxus not knowing what to do, he let his instincts guide him. He pulled Lucy into a tight hug and started to rub her back with his hand. He then tilted Lucy's chin with his thumb and index finger so that she was looking up at him before saying "Lucy, he's an idiot and I promise you I won't leave you. Natsu didn't know what he had when it was right in front of him." Laxus soothed Lucy some more before saying "it's getting pretty late. So you should get some rest okay." As he tucked the little Blonde back into bed. As he turned around to head out of the bedroom "where are you going?" Lucy said as a soft yawn escaped her lips.
"I'm not leavin, I'm going to borrow your couch for the night.. unless you'd rather me get into bed with you." Laxus said with a small chuckle not thinking she would actually take him up on the offer. "That couch is way too small for you but... but you are welcome to sleep with me..i.if you want?" Lucy stuttered as she furiously blushed. Laxus, a little shocked asked "are you sure." The only response back from the tinny woman was a light nod. Laxus turned off her lights leaving only her bed side lamp on before stripping into normal sleeping attire. wich only consisted of his boxers. Laxus then got into the bed that he could barely fit into. with a furiously blushing Lucy. Laxus could smell her arousel but thought it wise to keep his mouth shut. He then earned a squeak out of the blonde when he put her into the little spoon position before turning out her lamp and saying "get some sleep tiny. You need your rest."
Lucy was the first to wake up that morning and by the sun shining in on her eyes through the window. She woke up in the position of her leg wrapped around Laxus's hip and her hand in his hair while his one arm was working as her pillow and the other one planted firmly on her ass cheek while his face was a sliver away from being right in her chest. Lucy, who turned tomato red in a matter of seconds loved the fact that she had a man in her bed but would never admit to anyone. Lucy saw this as a golden opportunity to play with his hair and see if it is actually soft or rough. As she ran her hand through his hair she was surprised to find it soft almost as soft as Aries's whool. With a groggy voice Laxus said "go back to bed I want some more sleep" as he moved her closer to his body making his face go into her chest while hardening his grip on her ass. "Get your face out of my tits right now spark plug!" He lifted his head and whispered into her ear huskily "Or what? You know I am a slayer and have a heightened sense of smell. So I know you are aroused by this." What she did next suprised him. She took her free hand and ran it up his chest seductively but then she squeezed and twisted his nipple so tightly she was almost kicked off the bed. "You shouldn't fuck with a dragon girly" as he brought her back to his chest "especially one that just woke up" they layed there for about a half before Lucy started to squirm. "Stop squirming so damn much" "if you don't let me go I'm going to pee bed!" He let her go and said "Do you need some help getting there? I know you're not completely back to normal." With a light nod from Lucy he helped guide her to the bathroom before she closed the door on him.
After Lucy went to the bathroom she decided that she was going to take a nice long hot bath. Leaned against the wall for support as she grabbed her towels and started the water.
While Lucy was in the bathroom Laxus put back on his black jeans but left the belt off and pants unbuttoned. He then put his buttoned down purple v-neck shirt on but left the shirt unbuttoned as he made his way to the kitchen.
After failing at finding any food in the little woman's house he decided to call Fried to pick up some food. Since the whole town was trying to rebuild itself from the destruction he knew Fried would know where to find some grub. Fried picked up immediately as always "Hello Laxus-sama how may I help you?"
"Can you bring food over to Lucy's apartment?" "Why yes he can as long as we get to see her" Evergreen chirped in as Bixlow was laughing at something in the background.
Ignoring Evergreen Laxus said "how fast can you be here. I'm hungry" "If We hurry, probably about an hour. What does Lucy want?" "I don't know I'll call you back once I find out." Hanging up the phone Laxus went to go see how Lucy was doing. Having heard the water running while in the kitchen so he guessed that she would probably be washing up so knocking on the bathroom door he asked "what do you want for breakfast The thunder tribe should be over in about an hour with food." Surprised that he didn't just walk in like all of her other guests do she said "if they can pick me up some pancakes with strawberries on top I would very much appreciate it" "Alright will do. Don't spend too much time in the tub you don't wanna look like a prune when you get out." "I will not look like a prune! You overgrown sparkplug!" Lucy shouted from the other side of the door. Laxus just chuckled at her behavior and walked away to go call Fried back.
Lucy crossed her arms over her chest in a fitful manner while splashing water around in the tub. "Stupid slayers and their stupid fucking senses." Lucy grumbled while sinking further into the warm water.
After about 20min of sitting in the water she got out thanking Mavis that the water helped with her muscles. Now that she was able to walk with little assistants she dried herself off and put on her white fluffy robe. As she walked out of the bathroom and into her bedroom she saw what had to have been the funniest thing that day. She saw Laxus perched up on her bed trying to read a book about celestial magic? That's strange but the face that he was making was so comical it made Lucy giggle.
Hearing the woman giggle he looked up from the book that he was attempting to read and saw that she was in a robe that just barely covered her ass with her hand on her hip and the other covering her mouth while her hair was wrapped in a pink towel. As he eyed her up and down he asked with a scrunched up nose "what's so funny blondie?" "This whole picture is funny. Especially you trying to read one of my books that was given to me as a birthday gift by the Celestial king." "The king gave this to you? How the hell are you able to understand it?" "First off it is enchanted so that only thoughs who have been given permission by the king can read it and its also written in the celestial realms native tounge" Lucy said as she snatched the book away from hulking man. "Why were you trying to read it anyways?" Lucy said as she put the book back on her shelf. "Well I don't know very much about your magic so I was trying to see if any of your books could help me learn what your magic really is" Laxus said while rubbing the back of his head and trying to ignore Lucy's heavy stare. "You actually wanted to know about my magic?" "Yah is that so hard to believe?" "Yes and no." Lucy said as she grabbed a book for the basic understandings of celestial magic "no one usually asks me about my magic and how it works. Then when they do ask about my magic they just want a short explanation of it but celestial magic is too complicated for a simple explanation." She tossed the book to Laxus and said "that book should help you understand most of it but get out of my room so I can get dressed." As she eyed his figure his impeccable abbs out in the open with his unbuttoned shirt doing nothing to cover them. "See something you like blondie" Laxus said. "Oh just get out of my room!" Laxus laughed at her comment before the door to her room slammed behind him.
10min later she opened back up the door and was in a tight plain blue v-neck t-shirt with a pair of Canna styled pants on. Her hair was still a little damp as it flowed around her face.
"Hey blondie we need to talk." "About what?" Lucy sat next to Laxus on the small sofa wich seemed to be more a love seat for the hulking man and turned on the lacerum tv to whatch the news. "The other slayers.. well at least Gejeel and gramps Should be brought up to speed with everything thats happened last night and I know that you have to ask for permission first from the king so thats why I am asking ya now." "I can understand why gramps has to know but why Gajeel and you said you'd tell me why you've been being so nice to me." "I'll tell you later about that once Gajeel you and me are alone. The topic is a little touchy and should probably be kept to a select few for now." "Ugh! Ok. I'll ask Loke to ask the spirit king if Gajeel and Gramps may also know whats going on and for them to get updates on progress of what has been shared. But first I want to know where the damn food is? Its almost noon and im starving." Laxus sniffed the air and said "they are a few blocks away so go and ask before they get here unless you want them to know too." "okay, okay I'm going you big ass"
A few minutes passed and the thunder legion was at at the door of Lucy's apartment when Evergreen being impatient as always decides that knocking is over rated and waltz's right into Lucy's apartment to find the two blondes sitting together on the couch watching tv.
Bixlow cleared his throught at the sight of his friend actually being at peace cause of a little blonde number. "You two look awfully comfy" Bixlow commented before taking a seat on a kitchen chair. Before Laxus could reply Lucy was already out of her spot and ripping the bags from Fried's hands wich made Fried fall over by the amount of force she used just find her food. This left Fried in a state of shock by the blonde woman's actions while the other three were laughing at the site that just unfolded.
Once Lucy found her box with pancakes and strawberries she sat right back down in her spot next to Laxus before saying to Fried "get up off the ground and get something to eat. If you wouldn't have taken so long you wouldn't be on my dirty kitchen floor right now." At the sound of the word dirty Fried jumped up off the floor and started patting himself down in a useless effort to clean himself off.
Once everyone finished eating and awkward silence fell over the room and once Laxus couldn't stand it anymore he nudged Lucy and said "get whatever it is that on your mind out before Evergreen dies from the silence." "Hey dont blame your impatientness on me you undercooked lightbulb." Evergreen stated with a little bite in her words.
"Is this normal Bix?" Lucy said. All the others shut up to watch the interaction between the two. "Yah it is cosplayer" "do you guys friends?" Fried asked Lucy. Lucy got more comfortable on the couch by snuggling into a throw blanket and draping her legs over Laxus's lap, wich suprised everyone except Bixlow, before saying "yah after I beat him in the fight you guys had against fairytale we went out a few times. Just to learn about each others magics because of the similarities between them." Laxus growled at the inoccent comment of the two going out. Him not understanding that Lucy didn't mean it in a relationship type way. Lucy ignored this because she was so use to natsu growling the same way at the most oddest of times she thought. "Bixlow and I actually have become quite close after that fight. We would usually train together him teaching me to be lighter on my feet in a fight and me teaching him how to expand and push his magical power during combat."
"How come we never knew of this Bixlow!" Evergreen said. "It's not like I was hiding. The evidence was right in front of you guys all along you just didn't bother to look or ask questions." Bix bit back at Evergreen. "Anyways what's wrong Lucy." Bix said with actual consern etched into his voice.
Gathering her thoughts she began with the guild "how is the guild? Is everyone really scared of me? I mean I know your guys aren't or at least hope you aren't. Is Levy even scared of me? Did I hurt anybody when I snapped? Is gramps mad at me? Why would Natsu just up and leave like that? I thought me and him were closer then that."
Before she could say anymore she picked up and wrapped in a hug by Bixlow, wich no one saw coming, then was taken over to the recliner and placed lightly on Bixlows lap as he wrapped her in his arms and let her cry.
Laxus was stunned by this but then started to growl and get very mad and protective of Lucy. But Bix just held up his index finger to say to wait and then had one of his babies go over and whisper to Laxus "I know she's yours dude, but you have to calm down. I am just trying to cheer Lucy up the way I know how to so just give me a minute ok."
After his baby came back to his side Bix said "Lucy look at me." She did but was not happy that he had his helmet on. "The guild is doing great. It's being rebuilt as we speak. Gramps is not mad at you, he is actually thankful that you stopped him from disbanding the guild, but he does seem to be uneasy about something. No you did not hurt anyone when you lost control and no one blames you. I don't know if Levy is Scared of you but unfortunately the rest of the guild is weary about approaching you. I would never be afraid of you Lucy you're like a little sister to me. And I have no idea what happened between you and Natsu but you should know by now that Natsu is a moron when it comes to his relationships weather they are meant to be friends or more he is just an idiot all around" this got Lucy to giggle while rubing away her tears "and if he hurt you I Swear I'll kill em just for you okay" this made Lucy happy. She hugged Bixlow back until she was done crying and finally calmed down. She looked up at Bix and pouted "what ya giving me that face for" "take off the damn helmet." With a low chuckle he did as he was told. When he took it off she gave him a dazzling smile then snuggled back into his chest, wich he was even surprised at. When he looked up Laxus looked as if he was seconds away from ripping Bix's head off.
Bix leaned his head down to whisper in Lucy's ear "you need to get off me" "why?" Lucy said grumply. "Because if you don't Laxus is going to rip my dick off" "now why would he do that?" "Lucy just please listen to me. I would really like to keep my assets."
Not really understanding what was going on Lucy decided that it would be best just to listen to Bixlow. When she turned around after getting off of Bixlow's lap she saw a very pissed of Laxus, a very red Fried, and a very shocked Evergreen. Lucy didn't really care what they thought so she decided to sit back down next to Laxus. Once her ass touched the couch two things happened. Laxus put Lucy into his lap with her front side facing his chest and wrapped his arms around her waist. Then the doorbell rang. "Well I'll go get that" Bixlow said to escape the glare of Laxus. A very blushing Lucy looked up at Laxus and asked "what the hell was that all about and why must I be your lap?" "Shut the fuck up right now before I take you into your bedroom and fuck you with all these people here" Laxus growled into Lucy's ear. The sent of her arousel from his words almost made him do just that. Laxus tried to hide the pain of almost having his dragon take control. This did not go unnoticed by Lucy but before she could ask Gajeel was behind the couch she was sitting on and could barely see him over Laxus's chest as Gajeel growled at the sight of Lucy in Laxus's arms. Then she saw Wendy blushing shyly at her but Lucy was unable to get out of Laxus's grip. Laxus looked back at Wendy and signaled for her to come take a look at Lucy.
Laxus turned Lucy around in his lap but kept a firm grip on her waist while Wendy sat on a stool and examined her. While Wendy was examining Lucy she came up on something rather interesting and complicated. She went to poke Lucy's belly and when the light emitting from Lucy's belly responded Wendy fell back and hit her bum on the floor. "What's wrong are you alright!" Laxus said with convern for both women. "Um Laxus can I talk to you in the other room for a second" Wendy asked timidly. "Yah" Laxus got up and placed Lucy down on the couch before having Wendy follow him into Lucy's bedroom and shutting the door. "ok kid whats up?" "What I have to tell Lucy should be done in private or at least with less people here." "Ok I'll let them know" laxus opened up the door and went into the living room and said "hey Bixlow Fried And Evergreen you guys have to leave." Before they could object Laxus gave them the look of don't fuck with my decision. After the thunder legion left everyone got back into there original seating position before Wendy started to talk. "Umm Lucy your body should be back to normal in the next day or so.. but there is something i am more concerned about." "Well what is it Wendy" Gajeel said gruffly. "Ok but you two bous can not freak when I say it." They both nodded "at first when I examined you I thought that you were pregnant. But when I went to interact with what would be a soul something else was there." Two very angry dragons looked at Lucy with shock and confusion. But once they saw that she looked even more baffled then they did so they decided to be quite. "You are not pregnant but there is something in you that has a bond with you that is as strong as a mothers nond to its child. I do not know what exactly it is but it is very powerful and intriguing."
Laxus nudged Lucy to see if she was okay. "Hey Lucy" "yeah" "I'm going to walk Wendy home. Are you okay staying here with Gajeel till I get back?" "Yeah" was all that Laxus got out of Lucy. Laxus got up and straightened himself up and went to take Wendy home.
Gajeel not really knowing what to do asked Lucy if she wanted anything and he didn't get a response back. Gajeel decided to kneel next to the couch Lucy was laying on. He brushed her hair out of the way and behind her ear. "Bunny what's wrong" Gajeel said gruffly but with a hint of concern etched into his voice. Hearing the little bit if concern in his voice Lucy snapped out of her deep thoughts and replied with "huh". "Lucy you ok?" "Not really but I will manage somehow." "Hey what ever it is that you are going through just remember you don't have to go through it alone." Gajeel said as he caressed her face. Lucy smiled at his comment and said "thanks Gajeel. I really needed that." He replied with "How about we get you to your room okay?"
Before Lucy could respond Gajeel picked Her up bridal style and carried her into her bedroom.
After setting Lucy on her bed Lucy asked "Is Levy scared of me?" Gajeel furred his brows and said "no. Why would you think that?" "Cause she hasn't come to see me and Laxus said most of the guild was scared of me." All Gajeel could do was laugh at this. "Don't laugh at me! I was being honest you rust bucket!" Still chuckling Gajeel said "shrimp is one of the few people who ain't scared of ya but she hasn't been around cause she is a bit scared of Laxus" "what would Laxus have to do with her not coming around?" "Laxus has been glued to your side since the little incident. He's barley let me and Wendy get close to ya."
"I hope he tells me. He's been keeping a lot of stuff to himself especially stuff that involves me." "You can ask him when he gets back. Cause I am pretty sure I have the same thing to tell you."
