By the way, this story takes place after Lisanna comes back(obviously) and before Tenroujima, so Laxus isn't part of Fairy Tail.

Chapter 2: I Will Join…

In Fairy Tail

A week has passed since Lisanna was arrested and Fairy Tail is suffering a lot. Natsu and Gray no longer fight. Erza hasn't eaten any cake since the arrest. Juvia hasn't been clinging to Gray at all. Gajeel has been even colder than usual and stays in his corner. Levy still sits with Gajeel but every once in a while, she bursts out crying and sobs Lucy's name. No brawls have broken out since that day. Everyone is waiting for the man that Lucy said that would come to get her stuff.

Around 3 in the afternoon, the guild doors opened to reveal a blonde man with a fur coat and a lightning scar on his right eye. His orange eyes scanning the guild. No one noticed him walk in until Master Makarov came down. Upon seeing Laxus, Makarov jumps down from the second floor and walks up to him shocked that he is here.

"Laxus…What are you doing here?" Makarov asked. After hearing his name, everyone in the guild turned and were also shocked to see Laxus there. The Raijinshuu were the first to recover and rushed to Laxus.

Laxus, however, signaled for the Raijinshuu to stop, which they did, and said, "Gramps, I'm only here to deliver some things that Lucy wanted to return because it reminded her of the people that ignored her." Laxus then walked out and returned with a box full of pictures of Lucy and the people of the guild, along with other things like souvenirs from missions.

Laxus then continued, "before you say anything, I want to make something clear, Lucy hasn't actually given up on all of you. After Lisanna's arrest, Lahar came over to tell us what happened and after hearing how all of you reacted, she said that she doesn't know whether or not to forgive you. I'm just telling you this because even though you hurt her, you are still my nakama."

Immediately, Natsu spoke up, "So Luce forgives us?!"

"I didn't say that. She is still hurt by what you did but the is a chance that one day, she will forgive you, but until then, I will be taking care of her and none of you will be allowed to see her. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back before it's too late."

Before Laxus could leave Erza walked up and said, "Laxus…Tell Lucy that we are all sorry and that we don't blame her for hating us but that we hope that one day she will forgive us."

"Will do." And with that Laxus was gone.

Time Skip to Lucy's place

Laxus just arrived to Arcadia town, the place where Lucy was taken to live since the assasination attempt.

Knowing it was late, he changed into lightning and bolted to Lucy's place.

After arriving, he opens the door and walks in. "Lucy I'm back."

Lucy comes back from the living room where she was reading a book and walks up to Laxus and says, "How did it go? Were you able to return the things?"

"It was fine and don't worry, I returned all of the things to them."

"Thanks for everything Laxus. You don't know how grateful I am for helping me. Right now, you're the only friend I have and I appreciate your support."

Hearing this Laxus's heart ached for a little and thought to himself, 'Just a friend…That's right, I'm just a friend. No I can't think of this now. I have to wait for her to calm down a bit and then I'll tell her how I feel.' Noticing Lucy was still waiting for a response he said, "don't worry about it. I won't let anyone hurt you. Whenever you need anything, just ask."

"Thanks a lot Laxus. Anyway I think I'll go to bed."

"Lucy wait…I need to tell you something." Laxus knew this might affect her a bit but he would feel guitly if he didn't tell her this.

"What is it Laxus?" She was getting nervous. Laxus never talked this serious before but then again, this is the first time she is actually considering Laxus a good friend. But by thinking that, her heart hurt and she began to wonder why her heart hurt. 'Why is my heart aching, I can't like Laxus so soon. I'm just getting to know him. But he's been so kind since he saved me. Stop it Lucy. Just calm down. Laxus just thinks of you as a friend. Just forget about these feelings.'

Lucy's train of thought was broken by Laxus beginning to speak. "While I was in Fairy Tail, Erza told me to tell you that they are all sorry and that they don't blame you for hating them and that they hope that one day you will forgive them."

Lucy was shocked but then told Laxus, "Please Laxus…Not now. It's too early for me to think about forgiving them."

"I know but I just had to tell you. Anyway, have you decided what you're gonna do?" Laxus asked as he got up to go get a beer which he brought when he decided to stay with Lucy and take care of her.

"Yeah after thinking a lot about it, I…" She hesitated, feeling a blush creeping up to her cheecks and continued, "I was wondering whether you would train me so I could become stronger, please?"

Laxus just stared at Lucy and then let out a laugh and said, "Of course, I would be glad to train you. But what are you gonna do after you finish training?"

Lucy again hesitated and said, "I-I will join Sabertooth."

What's gonna happen next? What will Laxus think about Lucy wanting to join Sabertooth? Keep tuned in and find out. Thanks for all the support. I do not own Fairy Tail.
