Chapter 3:
Laxus looked at Aya in surprise when she had jumped into his lap, his blue gray eyes widening just a fraction before giving her that sexy smirk. "Well jeez, Shorty if you wanted to sit in my lap that badly all you had to do was ask." His deep velvety voice whispered in her ear. Aya blushed a bright red as she got out of his lap and sat back in her chair, sticking her tongue out at him. He chuckled at her childish behavior thinking her very cute and turned back to the movie, but not before he slides his arm down around her shoulders now that he was sure he was affecting her the same way she was him. She stiffened at first as she felt heat envelope around her neck then relaxed as his scent of rain, and damp earth surrounded her. Aya had always loved the smell in the air when it was about to rain, that fresh clean smell that it brought with it. When the movie finally started the two focused on it until Laxus realized it was a romance film and cursed gray for picking such a mushy movie, probably so he could make out with a certain blonde haired celestial wizard. The ravishing girl beside him snickered when she heard him curse under his breath probably not aware she could hear him. "What's the matter spark plug? Can't handle a chick flick?" She said giggling. The tall blonde raised an eyebrow at her. "Spark plug?" "You called me Shorty so it's only fair to give you a stupid nickname as well, lightning rod." She stuck her tongue out at him again but this time he grabbed it and she squeaked. "Don't stick that out unless you plan to use it babe." Came his perverted reply as images of her doing just that ran through both their heads, causing a slight blush to grace his features and a bright one on hers. Laxus let go of her tongue with an inaudible gulp now that his pants seemed tighter than normal with the smell of her slight arousal.
As they both turned back to the movie, she decided to be somewhat bold by linking her fingers together with his fingers that lay on her shoulder. Surprised at first, he looked at her out of the corner of his eye and smiled at her, holding her hand. The warmth from her hand spread up his arm and into his heart. He knew he was already falling for the vixen beside him and he was quite happy to let it happen. Though deep in the back of his mind, he felt he didn't deserve her, however, if she was anything like Lucy, he knew his past wouldn't make a difference to Ayano. Not to mention he really didn't want to fight it, he was tired of beating himself up over his action at fantasia, and if his guild mates could forgive him then it was about time to forgive himself. Wanting to be closer, he pulls her slowly back into his lap, wrapping both arms around her and she went with no hesitation. Something about what was happening between them seemed right, seemed real, like it was the most natural thing in the world. Aya leaned back in his embrace, against his hard muscled chest. Laxus was so much bigger then her and she preferred it that way, she didn't mind that he dwarfed her with his size. The handsome man chanced a glance over to the other side of the theater at their friends, who were in the process of in fact making out. Lucy was sitting in Gray's lap much like the other couple, but instead of facing the movie she had her lips locked with the raven haired man, her arms around his neck and his around her waist." I don't think your cousin will be coming home tonight." Laxus whispered in Aya's ear huskily, wanting to do the same to her. Seeing how they had just met a few hours ago, he couldn't very well ask her to go back to his place, but he didn't see the harm in kissing her, after all, it was a date and people did think him to be a ladies man. So, he thought he would be the rogue everyone thought him to be, to an extent, though he wasn't sure he could hold back. However, if she were to tell him to stop, he would. They were both adults and she was more than capable of putting him in his place if need be. At that thought, he smiled knowing that like Lucy, she was probably just as feisty with her temper for those who could invoke it. Plus, everyone knows Lucy's kick was to be avoided at all costs, having witnessed it himself when she used it on Natsu and Gray. Even the flametard tried to stay on Blondie's good side, so as to not receive another of those kicks, though he seemed to receive them daily.
Giving into his desire to at least kiss her, he gently grabbed Aya's chin and turned her head to face him, looking into her eyes. "I don't know what's happening between us, but I don't intend to stop it unless you say otherwise." His deep lust filled voice replied. When she didn't object, he leaned in and kissed her. The same shock from earlier passed between them, making her gasp. Laxus took his chance to sneak his tongue in next to hers, tasting the sweet tangy starfruit flavor that was her. He moaned softly as he felt her tongue slide into his mouth, kissing him back. Aya wrapped her arms around his neck as his giant hands made their way to her waist, resting them on her narrow hips. In that moment, neither knew what was going to happen, or where this was going. They just knew they were meant to be together. Shifting so that her legs settled on either side of his, Aya could feel his growing desire adding to her own as he grinded his hips up into hers. Feeling the heat coming from her core, Laxus growled, the smell of her lust strong thanks to his dragon enhanced senses. Gripping her hips firmly he tears himself from her lips to kiss along her jaw and down her neck, making her nails dig slightly into his shoulders. The sting jolts him back to reality as he fights his way from the sensual fog they both found themselves in. "I'm sorry my dear but we have to stop, otherwise I'm going to take you right here and now. You're obviously a virgin from your scent and though the thought of being your first thrills the hell out of me, I'd prefer it if your first wasn't in the back of the theater on the first date." He growled trying to restrain himself, the furious dragon inside him practically begging to mark her.
Ayano for her part understood where he was coming from, she agreed with him wholeheartedly wanting her first time to be, to sound cliché, magical. She knew Laxus could give her that, but not here, not with other people around to witness them coming undone at the others touch. She couldn't help but be a little disappointed at having to stop, but he was right, so slowly she got up and began to walk out of the theater for some air, Laxus following behind her. Had she been any other girl he would think she was upset with him for stopping, but he'd seen the understanding and acceptance in her purple gaze. Once outside Aya lit a cigarette, surprising Laxus that she was a smoker, also explaining the slight spice scent mixed in with the orchid and star fruit. "Does Lucy know you smoke?" he said as he lights a cigar. "I don't think so, the last time we had seen each other was maybe the year before she ran away eight years ago, and though I smoked then, I didn't want my uncle to know and look down on me. Uncle Jude considered anyone who smoked to be vile and not worth his time. I think the only ones who knew were my own parents, and though they disliked the habit, they never tried to stop me. My upbringing wasn't as strict as Lucy's. After aunt Layla's death, Uncle Jude closed himself off to everything but his work, even his own daughter, so I barley saw Lucy in our teenage years except when father would go for his side of business which was not often." Sadness crossed her features at the memories assaulting her mind at that moment, but then she smiled. "Though I'm sad they're all gone, I've had more time to grieve their loss. Poor Lucy has not, she just found out maybe 6 months ago, that's one of the reasons I left the south and made my way here to be with her. It's a helpless feeling when you no longer have any family to call your own and you're left alone." Unshed tears shone in her eyes as she recalled the emotional struggle she went through when she thought that her family was lost to her after Lucy's disappearance. "I disagree." Came Laxus firm reply as he brought his hand to cup her face. "Lucy has had a family from the moment she stepped into Fairy Tail, and now so do you, we may not be blood, but we are all family, we are all there for each other. I know I've done a lot of things I shouldn't have that got me kicked out of the guild." Aya's eyes widened in shock but Laxus continued. "But when I was finally reinstated, everyone including your cousin, who I had tried to destroy at the time and had said some awful things about, forgave me with open arms and no hesitations. I know you struggled in the past like you said, but now you do have a family and a boyfriend." Laxus said with a chuckle. She stuck her tongue out at him once more, glad about boyfriend line, and not disagreeing with it. Being the rogue that he was, he saw his opening and took this chance to kiss her again.
At that moment someone cleared their throat. The couple had been so deep in their conversation, and each other, that they never noticed Lucy and Gray had followed them outside, and had heard everything that had been said. The lovers looked up at the sound and drew apart, Lucy deciding to run and embrace her cousin with tears streaming down her face. "Oh Aya I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to leave you all alone. I won't ever leave you like that again, I promise." "It's okay Lucy, it wasn't your fault, you couldn't have known that our parents would pass while you were gone. All that matters is we're together now." As the cousins pulled apart, Gray asked them about getting ice cream while Laxus grinned. As they made their way to the guild, Gray and Laxus fell behind the happily chatting girls "you ready for this man?" came Laxus' whispered voice. "As ready as I'll ever be." Gray said with a smile, though he was extremely nervous, even if he didn't need to be. They walked into the guild holding the hand of their respective partner, and greeted everyone as they walked by on their way to the bar. "Hey Mira" Gray said with a wink as Mira had hearts in her eyes.
Lucy thinking the hearts were due to the fact that it was quite obvious her cousin was dating Laxus. Master looked over the couples with a huge grin on his face, happy that his grandson was finally settling down, and that Gray and Lucy had found happiness within each other. "What can I get the four of you?" asked Mira, as she pictured Blonde haired, purple eyed babies and black haired, blue-Grey eyed babies in her head. They all order, Lucy her usual Strawberry milkshake, Gray a mint chocolate sundae, Laxus opted for a beer, and Aya ordered an orange sherbet cone. Mira went to complete their orders, holding a tray on her way back with both girls clueless as to the shiny object attached to Lucy's straw.
