She has a pretty blush. It dusted across her cheekbones and for a minute, her eyes flickered away.
"Hello Laxus."
I smirked and asked if I could sit beside her. She looked away and nodded yes. Her hair blocked her face so I moved it behind her ear without thinking. Then I realized what I did and blushed while turning my head away. I could feel the demon's questioning gaze but I ignored it. This was unusual. I never showed affection. Ever. I never gave affection to anyone in the guild. I didn't want to face Gramps' wrath if I ever broke some chick's heart. It was like a cardinal rule. I turned to look at her but then she questioned me.
"Why did you do that?" I asked.
"I don't know." Was his blunt reply.
So that question will forever go unanswered. Shame. Oh well.
"Did you want to do something?"
"Umm."
Meanwhile, the guild was whispering and looking shocked. Evergreen and Bickslow were having a hard time keeping Fried under control. They had never seen Laxus look or act like this. He had a pale blush across his cheekbones and was asking someone from the guild if they wanted to do something. Usually it was the other way around in a bar or something. It wasn't just anyone from the guild either. It was Lucy, the light of the Fairies.
What was up? Had he fallen for the sweetheart of Fairy Tail? The kind, caring and beautiful celestial mage seemed to have an air about her that made everyone love her. She had wormed her way into Erza's guarded heart without being threatened. She had Gray, the cold, standoffish ice mage wrapped around her finger. She even had the anti-social, hulking brute Gajeel show some sort of emotion towards her, even if it was mainly for his own amusement. The only questions left were, had Laxus found a soft spot for her or had he truly fallen in love with her? What will Lucy say?
