But enough of me going on about how amazing you guys are, I know what you're really here for ;) And with that on with the story!~

It was like any other day at the guild. I was sitting at my designated table with my team, Bickslow is being his usual stupid self and bothering Evergreen with his babies and Freed was quietly reading a book from the guild library. I'm looking around the guild at everyone and taking a person count. The Drunk is at the bar with a barrel of ale, Mira standing behind the bar solemnly cleaning a mug, Gramps sitting on the bar and looking around, I look for everyone until I reach team Natsu's table. I watch as Erza sits there staring at her untouched cake. Since that day, nobody has been the same. Natsu and Gray don't even fight unless it's about a Celestial Spirit mage being found anywhere. But so far, all of those have just been rumors.

It's been almost a full year since our guilds light disappeared with only a letter to say goodbye. Nobody knows why she disappeared, and nobody could find her, not even us dragon slayers. It was raining the day Natsu came running into the guild with an envelope in his hand and tears streaming down his face. I've never seen Natsu cry in all the years I've known him, so when he came in crying, the entire guild had gone silent.

~Flash Back~

"She's gone." Natsu had said simply before falling to his knees and sobbing in front of the whole guild. "She's gone and I can't find her scent!" he screamed out for everyone to hear.

"Who's gone Natsu?" Erza had asked calmly while she and the ice freak were walking towards Natsu. When they reached him Natsu held the letter out for Erza to take. The entire guild watched and waited for her reaction. I watched Erza closely until I saw a single tear fall down her face. My eyes widened as the scene unfolded and Erza fell to her knees next to Natsu and then the letter was passed to Gray.

"I don't understand." Erza whispered so that the only people who could hear were those with dragon slayer hearing. "Why would she leave?" She looked over at Natsu who was still crying. Gray must have finished reading the letter at this point because he pulled up a chair and sat down with a blank look on his face.

This was the scene Gramps came out of his office to, Erza and Natsu on the floor crying with Gray staring off into space. "What on Earthland happened here?" Gramps yelled from the stairs. Everyone turned to look at him with either sadness or confusion on their faces.

Erza being the first to snap out of her trance, stood, and walked to Gray to grab the letter and brought it to Gramps. "Master," Erza sniffled and wiped her eyes. "It's Lucy." I perked up hearing Blondie's name as I paid closer attention to the two people on the guilds stairs. "She's left the guild." There was a collection of gasps, including my own, before Erza continued to explain what just happened to Gramps.

When she finished her explanation, Gramps looked up with tears in his eyes and spoke to the whole guild hall. "I want every available person out searching for our Light! My Dragon Slayers!" he yelled, making those of us with sensitive ears flinch "I want you out there tracking her!"

"Gramps" I stood up from my seat and pulled my headphones down from my ears. "I think I can speak for all of us slayers when I say we won't be able to find her." I look down towards Natsu and see him nodding in agreement. "I'm sure Flame Brain there has already tried, but with it raining outside her scent would have already washed away." Now looking to the rest of the slayers in the room, you could see the sadness on their faces as they also nod in agreement with me. It pained me to see all of them upset, then looking to my own team to see Ever silently crying and Bix and Freed with their own sad expressions. "But" I said looking back up at my grandfather "that doesn't mean we won't try to find her." I grabbed my coat and headed to the guild doors.

~End flashback~

That was a year ago now. I know nobody has given up trying to find our guilds favorite blonde. But the search has dwindled these last few months, everyone is slowly losing hope and its very depressing to watch.

As I sit there with my beet mug in hand and my sound pod on, I think about the last time I saw the guilds favorite blonde. I remember her sitting over at the bar with a strawberry milkshake. I remember how I thought that that was really weird. I remember watching as she smiled after every bite and how her eyes saddened when she told Natsu she didn't want to go on a job that day. That was what really striked me as odd. She never declined a job because she was always worrying about rent.

All I can do is sit there at my table and remember all of the times where she would smile or even laugh. Mavis, her laugh. It was like the tinkling of bells, and Angels laughing. I scoffed at my thoughts and look down into my mug. This is why she's the light of the guild; she's just so perfect and pure.

"So what do you think Bossman?" I hear Bickslow ask with a clap of his hand on my shoulder. I look over at him in confusion and at my confused look he sighed before speaking. "I was asking about what you would think of an impromptu trip to Bosco? Dad and Kaleb were telling me about how the Boscan Sorcerers Weekly was wanting to do a full spread on our family. And I was thinking of hitting up a couple of bath houses while there." He rolled his tongue out of his mouth with a wink.

I had to think about it, as tempting as the Bath Houses sounded, I haven't been able to get off with the help of others. Ever since after the Grand Magic Games, it's been different. And for some reason my inner Dragon is anxious. 'Maybe I just need some Boscan help?' I think to myself before speaking to Bix. "Sure, I think that's a great plan. When would we be leaving?" I ask.

I watch as Bickslow grins. "We'd be leaving in three days. You in Freed? Farron should be there by the time we get there!" Bickslow smirked at the now red faced rune mage. I watched in amusement and partially listened to the two bicker for a few minutes before Bickslow looked back at me. "Dad says he's going to send an airship for us, but I'll let him know you and Freed are tagging along too." I nod in agreement as I'm standing up to leave the guild.

"I'm heading out now then. Let me know where we're meeting later Bix!" I yell over my shoulder as I walk out. Walking down the steps, I look around at all the scenery as I start walking towards my house. I walk past the park, next to the canal and then I stop as I realize where I am involuntarily walking. I look up at the building in silence. I sniff at the air to try and smell the amazing scent that used to live here. "Where did you go Blondie?" I ask nobody in particular. I breath in the air around Lucy's old apartment on last time before I walk away and head towards my house.

As soon as I walk into my house though, I feel a slight pain in my heart. I think about everything that's been happening recently. From the sudden spike in Dark Guild activity, to Lucy still being missing. Then for some reason my brain decides to think back to a year ago. The night where I was talked into a drinking game, a night where secrets were shared. A night where I learned that fairy Tail's light has a dark side, mainly from her past.

~Flash Back~

We had just walked out of the guild hall when I heard a sigh come from the small blonde next to me. "Everything ok Blondie?" I ask in worry.

I watch her as we stopped in front of the guild doors. "Laxus, what would you do if you were in my position?" I looked at her in confusion and she continued. "I'm still technically an heiress but I have this unique magic that always ends up causing problems not just for me, but everyone." She gestured towards the doors of the guild at that and that's when I smelled it, salt. "And now that I'm thinking about it" she sniffled "I'm basically a living target for all things bad! Next thing you know I'm going to be kidnapped for some weird dark ritual that calls for a virgin sacrifice!" She cried out while sitting down and pulling her legs to her chest. "What should I do Laxus?"

She was full on crying now and I wasn't sure if it was because of the alcohol or if what Gajeel had said earlier actually got to her. I don't really know what to do, so I place my hand on her shoulder. "It's alright Blondie. I know you'll figure something out. You always do." I smiled softly down at her while I tried to ignore my inner dragon who was currently yelling at me. "Let's get you home for now though, okay?"

I watch as she nods her head and she stands up, grabbing my offered hand to help her up. After she dusts her skirt off we start walking towards her house. We were walking in a confortable silence when I felt her bump into me. She was starting to sway back and forth now. I watch as she almost tips over her own feet and I rush to catch her. "Careful Blondie." I whisper into her eat as I sniff her hair. I purr softly as her scent reaches my nose. Strawberries and Vanilla will forever be my new favorite scent.

I look down at her in my arms, she's placed her hands on my chest and is looking up at me with her hazed over honey colored eyes. I know better than to take advantage of a drunk woman. But I can't help but watch as she slowly starts to lean in closer to me. "You look so handsome like this under the moonlight." She whispered softly to me. I took in a sharp breath before her lips met mine. I stood in complete shock for a moment as I realized the light of Fairy Tail was kissing me before I started to kiss her back.

I could feel my lightning start to spark up around us the more intense the kiss got. I was shocked when I felt her tongue move along my lips asking for entry, and against my better judgment I allowed her entry. I could feel her moving her hands up my chest to around my neck My hands move on their own to grip her waist and I pull her as close to me as I can I can smell her arousal and I growl into the kiss when she starts to tug on my hair.

I can feel my inner dragon thrashing against the cage I have it in. It's yelling at me about claiming her and making her mine. I do my best to keep the Beast contained considering this is the Light of Fairy Tail I have in my arms right now. But I lose my control when I feel her hands traveling south. That's when I lightning teleport us to my house and everything goes blank.

~End Flashback~

I hate that I can't remember what happened after I teleported us to my house. I know we did something that night though. Because I remember how I woke up to my bedroom smelling of sex, lust and strawberries and vanilla. Her smell was everywhere in my house when I woke up the following morning. But she was nowhere in sight. The only way I was able to tell she was ever here being her scent and the smell of cooked food coming from downstairs.

I knew things would be awkward between us after that, and I was right since she avoided me as often as she could. The only exception being when we were both at the guild and that time on the path to the old Hags place. I didn't say anything at the time, but her scent was different that day. Her scent was different compared to how it normally was. It was just really weird.

I sighed as I walked up the stairs to my room. I went to the bathroom that's connected to the bedroom area and turned on the shower to get the water warm while I take my shoes and clothes off. Thinking of what could have happened in my room that night has be completely hard so I hop in the shower and wash my hair and body before I let my thought wander to Lucy. I grab my cock and sigh as I start rubbing, I envision Lucy on her knees in front of me slowly sucking on my cock. I moan as I imagine her taking all of me into her mouth as I start pumping my cock faster.

It feels like I can actually feel her on me the faster I pump. Lately this is the only way I've been able to get any release. The final straw for me is when I imagine her telling me what to do as she grabs my balls. And right on cue, I moan Lucy's name as I cum on the shower wall. I stand there with my head against the other side of the shower wall and sigh. I clean off the dirty wall of the shower, then clean myself up before turning the water off and getting out of the shower.

I grab a towel and dry myself off as I walk to my closet to grab a new pair of boxers and some sleep pants. After I'm completely dried off I put on my new clothes and grab a bag for the trip to Bosco. As I'm packing I can't help but feel like something really great is about to happen.

Finished packing, I set my bag on top of my dresser and go downstairs to make myself some dinner. I open my fridge to see what all I have and decide on making chicken and pasta. One thing nobody else but my team knows about me, is that I'm actually a really good cook. And I take pride in it as I turn the stove on and set to work on making my dinner.

When it's all finished, I plate up the food and sit down at the small kitchen table next to the kitchen. I sit in complete silence as I eat, not even bothering to turn on the lacrima vision. I have a lot of other things on my mind while I'm eating. Every time I come back to my house my mind is always plagued by thoughts of Lucy. Whether or not she is safe, how she's been the last year, what she could be doing now. I'm not usually the sentimental type, but I just can't get her out of my mind.

When I finish eating,I clean up my mess, do this dishes then go back to my bedroom. Eager to get to sleep since I know that that is the one place where I can actually see her face, see that she is alright. I start to drift off to sleep happily until I hear my comm go off and I groan when I recognize the ring tone.

Sighing, I reach over to the bed side table where I have my comm sitting. I push a little bit of my magic into it to answer. "What do you want now Bix?" I groan when I lay back on my bed. I was really looking forward to going to sleep and seeing Lucy's face.

"Hi to you too! Oh, how am I? Not too bad, thanks for asking!" Bickslow answered sarcastically. I rolled my eyes at his antics and scowled while the seith mage was still chuckling. "I've got news, but we're flying out in the morning now instead of in three days. Kaleb called and told me something pretty concerning a few minutes ago. So we need to check it out as soon a possible."

I haven't heard Bickslow speak this seriously in awhile so I nod in agreement and sit back up in bed. "Can I ask what happened, or do I have to wait until tomorrow morning to find out?" I ask curiously, watching one of my best friends as he ponders over my question.

"Let's just say something happened at the guild there in Pelerno, and both Cris and Em are agreeing on a smell. I'm not gonna spoil all the details Bossman. But the airship will meet us in the clearing outside of town. Try to be there by eight, if you can!" Was the last thing Bix said before abruptly ending the call.

'That was weird even by normal Bix standards' I thought to myself as I laid back down in my bed and closed my eyes. 'At least I don't have to wait too long to find out what he meant.' I yawn before finally drifting off to sleep.

Sorry for the cliffhanger everyone! I know that's probably a terrible place to leave off, but it just feels right to stop there ^_^' But please leave a review or a pm as to what you all thought! (Especially for the shower scene, I'm not too sure how I feel on how that turned out yet...)
