Chapter 2:

Laxus' POV

Again. I was shocked again. I didn't expect her to react like that. I found out new things about her and i was interested. And I was getting closer to her. I already knew that she was caring, kind and she was a little bit shy but didn't know that she could be also that funny and polite. When I entered her house she didn't tell me to get out. She would say it in a polite way, of course. But she didn't do anything like that. Indeed she did the opposite. She told me that I could stay as long as I wanted.

Hmm... I walked you home because I wanted to make sure you would made it to your home safely. And also to see if your home is safe enough. Why? Did you think I came here for something else? I had some work to do but I can settle things and... you know... to stay here with you some more time.- I said grinning deviously.

Lucy's POV

Again. He did it again. I really had no idea that he was like this. I knew few things about him. And I didn't forget that he didn't really care about our guild before. But he had changed a lot since then. Now I admired him for his strength and the way he was protecting his friends. And really didn't know he could be that naughty and playful. But I liked this side of him. His words sent shivers trough my body when he was playful. But at that moments the only thing that I was able to do was to stare at him. I couldn't make a move. And he was also one of the most handsome men in Fiore. He was just amazing. And I didn't suppose it would turn out things to be like that when I saw that he would be my new teammate but I was grateful. It was a good idea of Macarov to do that.

I like staying with you but unfortunately I have some work to do. - he said and turned back the serious look on his face. Then after a moment he was gone. I decide to go to bed because I was on a mission the next day. I needed some rest after all those emotions that day. First i went to the bathroom to take a bath. I put off my clothes and the hot water touched my skin. Then when my body got used to the temperature of the water I sighed. His face again came in my mind. He was so damn close when I was staying in front of the bathroom's door. I could feel his hot breath on my face. His blue - grayish eyes looking at me. And his blonde hair. He was good-looking. No, he was amazingly good-looking. I was really pathetic. He was just my teammate and maybe we were to become friends in future. That was everything and there shouldn't be anything more. I though that I liked Natsu. He has been my partner since I came in the guild, right? It was naturally to like him, wasn't it? But then Laxus came into my mind. I got out from the bath. I put on my pajamas and went to bed. If I go to sleep I would probably stop thinking about him. As I laid my head on the pillow I understood I was totally wrong. The memories of all the moments from the time spend with Laxus rushed into my mind. His voice echoed in my head. I still remembered his smell- like a storm. It was so refreshing and good. I couldn't sleep. As long as my mind was busy with him i couldn't even close my eyes. After four more attempts to sleep I decided to go to take a drink. I got off of the bed and went to the kitchen. Then I opened the fridge. As I drunk a cup of milk I decided to go outside for a walk. I put on my clothes and opened the door. In the moment I went outside I felt the cold air touching my hot skin and that sent shudders trough my spine. Then when I turned around I saw one of the most amazing views in my whole life- Laxus was standing there the moonlight barely touching his face and his muscular body.

Laxus' POV

It was nice staying and talking with Lucy but I really had to do my work. And it was to make sure that Lucy's safe. Her home didn't have any magical protection so I thought it would be good to guard her. But if I had told her about that I would have made her worried. And there was something else. Someone was stalking her so I was worried. She was my teammate now, so that's the reason, right? I should make sure my partner is safe. It's my duty, isn't it?

After some time I heard someone walking in Lucy's house. I concentrated at the sound. I got up from my place and was just heading for the door when I saw the door opening. And I sighed. It was Lucy. But what was she doing here. Then she saw me too. Before she could even open her mouth I spoke:

I am here because I did my work and had nothing to do. And i couldn't sleep at all. I came here to wait till you wake up and get outside but I didn't expect you to be awake in that early hours. And so what are you doing alone at night?

I.. I just couldn't sleep, too so I decided to go for a walk - she answered me with a slight blush on her face. She looked cute that way but I didn't understand why she was blushing. Did this mean something? I just couldn't help but wonder about it.

Lucy's POV

I undoubtedly knew the reason why I couldn't sleep but I couldn't tell him. I felt my face hot. I was glad it was dark so he couldn't see me, or that is what I hoped at least.

And you decided to go at night alone in the dark streets for a walk? - he asked with inquiring voice.

Yes? - I smiled at him as he rolled his eyes.

Ok, then I am coming with you- he stated. But where are we going? It's to early so it's closed everywhere.

Let's just walk?- I suggested.

He just nodded in agreement.

I was wondering about the mission. It would be a little bit awkward in my opinion. After all we were man and a woman and we were all alone. And when we would be walking together everybody would think we are a couple. Maybe I worry too much about it. We are teammates so it's naturally to be like that. And I wonder what are these rings... It's strange. And this thing with the money. 1,000 000 yen for a pair of rings. And what is this with the fake rings. However, I would understand when we go to the mission tomorrow.

Laxus' POV

Lucy again was lost in thoughts. She didn't even notice that I was staring at her. I just wondered about the person who was stalking her. But why would someone stalk her. I didn't knew her past so I couldn't tell if she had done something bad. I had to ask her about her past. But she wouldn't tell me if she had done something that would make someone want to get revenge. I couldn't just ask ,, did you do anything that would make someone mad?''... No, it would be too rude.. I suppose I had to find a way later.

Hey .. Lucy? - she was too concentrated in her thought to notice I was calling her.

Luuuucy? - no answer. She was just watching somewhere in the ground as we were walking.

Then I put my arm on her right shoulder. Then she was so taken aback in surprise that she jumped. I just laughed. Then she looked at me with wide eyes. I could hear how fast was her heartbeat at this moment.

Y.. YOU... YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME! - she yelled and I was surprised to see that she was more open to me now. She didn't just stared at the ground. I was happy we were getting closer. I smiled at her with a warm smile.

Lucy's POV

I was surprised that I could yell at him like that. And he just smiled when I did it... He had such a beautiful smile. I had never seen this smile before. He had perfectly white teeth and his lips looked so soft and warm.

I called out for you two times but when you didn't answer me I got worried - he said with innocent voice.

Never mind that. What is it?- I asked.

Do you want to go to the train station now and catch a train so we can travel at night?

Hmm.. It's a good idea but what about you nausea? Natsu felt really bad when we had traveled with train when being on missions. You are dragon slayer, too so you must have the same problem.

I''ll be okay.- he said, his pride didn't let him say anything else.

Okay, then let's go! - Lucy said happily.

Laxus just smiled at her enthusiasm and set out for the station with Lucy.

Hey, guys! Thank you for the reviews on the first chapter. I''ll publish the next chapter soon. Hope you enjoyed my story. :)
