While carrying Lucy, Laxus burst through the doors of Fairy Tail, catching everyone's attention as they all turned their head to see what the commotion was about.
"Where's Wendy?" He demanded as his voice boomed through the silent guildhall.
When no one answered, he bit back a growl and stated walking towards the infirmary, carrying the limp girl.
Mira was the first one to recover and speak up, "She went out on a mission with Romeo. She should be back by tomorrow." She said, giving the girl in his arms a worried glance before following Laxus to the infirmary.
Laxus didn't hold back his loud growl this time. "Alright then. Where's Master?" He asked, his voice giving away just how annoyed he was.
He laid Lucy down to the closest infirmary bed, careful to put he down gently despite his anger.
He slowly straightened his back and forced himself to tear his eyes away from the injured girl to glance at Mirajane.
Mirajane looked away from the blonde girl in the infirmary bed to look at Laxus as she explained, "Mater is in Clover Town for a meeting. He'll be held up there for a few days, maybe a week."
"Dammit! She needs to be healed now!" He exclaimed as he turned around to face the wall. 'Why the hell am I getting so angry! I just met the blonde so why should I care about her!' He yelled at himself in his mind.
His thoughts just made him angrier ago he curled his right hand into a fist as it sparked with lighting.
He drew his arm back and let his anger out on the wall. His punch made the whole room shake and created a huge dent in the wall.
He still felt angry as fuck so he drew his right arm back again, readying to punch the wall again, but Mirajane came up behind him and calmly said, "That isn't going to help anything Laxus."
He immediately paused in mid punch. He dropped is throbbing hand back to his side and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
He turned around to Mira with his usual blank look, but worry still refusing to leave his eyes.
Mira gave him a small, sad smile as she turned to see the injured girl. She walked up to the bed and lifted up the bottom of her shirt to examined her wound that stretched across her now very pale skin.
She frowned slightly at the gruesome scene and put the thin cloth back in place. She turned to Laxus who was now wearing a frown as he looked at Lucy.
"I have a video lacrima that I gave to Wendy before she left. Master requested that she carry one every time she goes out on a mission since she is still just a child." Mira explained.
Laxus frowned at the explanation, "If you can get ahold of her then do so. I don't need a story when someone's life could come to end at any time!" He yelled, trying to stay calm but failing miserably.
Mirajane just nodded and took out the lacrima and set it on the bed side table on the infirmary bed. 'I really hope Wendy will be able to get here quickly' Mira thought as she watched Laxus use the lacrima.
Wendy and Romeo were on the train home to Mangolia after easily completing their last job.
Wendy and Romeo just say across from each other and look out the window as the scenery passed by in a blur.
They still had another hour and the silence was too much!
It had been an uncomfortable silence ever since they had bordered the train at the Onibus Station.
Wendy was more then relieved when she saw she was getting a call on the communication lacrima.
She answered it with a smile, expecting it to be master checking in on her.
When she realized who it was, she was confused and it clearly showed on her face. "Laxus?" She asked the blond lighting Mage on the lacrima.
"Wendy, how soon can you be at the guild?" He asked the confused blunette with a very serious voice.
"We're on the train now. It'll take another hour or so." Romeo, who was now sitting VERY close behind Wendy, said. This action made Wendy blush as she turned to Laxus who was slightly angered by Romeo's response response. Laxus swore under his breath as he growled quietly, almost like a hiss.
"What's wrong? Is someone hurt?" She asked as her emotion suddenly changed to serious.
"Yeah. She's in bad shape so as soon as you get off the train, get to the guild as fast as you can." Mira replied, who was standing behind Laxus listing in on the conversation.
"Will do. See you soon." Wendy said as the call ended. She just hoped whoever it was that was hurt would be okay until she got there.
Back at the guild, people were buzzing about the incident that happened.
They all had the same thought running through their head, " Laxus saved someone?!" No one had any idea who that girl was or what happened but they were all still concerned.
The Laxus they knew just sat in the corner of the guild with his sound pod and a mug of beer, casually chatting with the Raijinshū.
They all knew he had changed since he came back, but the only thing that changed with his feeling towards Fairy Tail.
In the midst of the chatter, the guild doors burst open. Everyone turned their attention to see that a certain wind dragon slayer had burst through the door, followed by Romeo.
"Where is she?" Wendy asked as she made her way into the guild, looking around for a response. "In the infirmary." Said Gray.
Wendy didn't waste any time getting to the infirmary door and rushing in.
As soon as Wendy came in the door, all she could smell was blood. Even with her dragon slayer abilities, the smell was over powering.
Laxus and Mira looked up at Wendy when she burst through the door with slight relief, but obviously still concerned.
Wendy made her way to the side of the infirmary bed and examined the wound by lifting the shirt slightly. "What happened?" She asked thoughtfully as she studied the slash wound intently.
As Laxus finished telling her what he knew, or at least the very shortened version, Wendy nodded her head.
"Okay, I can heal her, but it'll take awhile. Also, I need you to leave." Wendy said as she looked up and glanced between the two older mages.
Mira just nodded her head and made her way to the exit while Laxus was reluctant to leave. He stood there for another moment, looking at the blonde haired girl until he stomped out of the room.
As soon as they were gone, Wendy got to work healing her.
After about an hour and a half, Laxus was getting worried.
He just sat in the corner of the guild, refusing to talk to anyone.
A very dark aura surrounded him as he got lost in thought.
They all pissed him off right now, including himself. What pissed him off the most was't understand why he was being like this, he wasn't ever like this anymore.
He was starting to change since Gramps let him back in the guild. He was even doing work so he could become the next guild master. But the biggest improvement was his emotions towards the guild members. He rarely got seriously mad at any of them.
The exception was the stupid flame brain, Natsu. He just beat the crap out of him this morning for crying out loud!
But he really was changing. But as soon as he brought the girl back, he just felt so pissed off at everything. He knew if someone tried to talk to him that he would explode. DAMMIT! This is so aggravating! Why? I don't know her, so why do I feel the need to protect her. I- I can't l-like her... Can I?
No! Of corse not! That was crazy! She is just a girl who was injured and because he was in Fairy Tail, he had to help her! It was basically an instinct for all fairies to help others in need.
'Yah! That's right! Hahaha!'he thought as he started to laugh out loud, causing his guild mates to look at him like he was insane.
Just as Laxus was thinking this, the infirmary door opened and everyone looked at Wendy. They were waiting on news about the condition of the mysterious girl.
Wendy looked up at everyone and gave a weak smile, exhausted from using so much magic. "She'll be okay now. She just needs to rest." She said with as much enthusiasm as she could manage.
Everyone gave a sigh of relieve and Laxus had felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He let go of his breath that he didn't know he was holding.
He didn't even notice the small dragon slayer walked up to him until she tapped him on the shoulder.
He looked at her in surprise as she said, " Um, I thought you might want to see her. She's still sleeping and all but-" she was interrupted by the sound of his chair scrapping against the floor.
Laxus silently made his way over to the infirmary, hands in pockets, with his usual monotone face while Wendy looked at him with a smile.
As Laxus entered the infirmary, he saw blonde hair poking out from underneath the covers on one of the infirmary beds.
He gave a slight smile and silently chuckled to himself as he made his way over to the bed. While watching the covers slowly rise and fall from her breathing, he sat down on the foot of the bed and looked at the bundle of blankets on the bed.
He smiled another time and sighed in relief. 'Guess I was worried for nothing'. He thought.
Laxus was about to stand up when Lucy shifted in her sleep and mumbled something he couldn't understand.
'Huh?' Laxus thought as he leaned forward to see if she'd say anything else. Lucy flipped over so she was now facing Laxus and reached her hand out to him, all the while she was sleeping.
She managed to find Laxus's coat and she pulled it closer to her, dragging Laxus with it. She snuggled up to it and mumbled again. This time, he heard it clearly.
"Laxus." She mumbled, her voice just above a whisper.
All he could do is stare at the girl with wide eyes and his mouth agape. 'Is... She dreaming about me?' He thought.
