So, I know this one is a bit short, I kinda struggled with thinking up an idea. This is the first time i've written in this style so i personally don't think its too bad. Constructive criticism welcome!

LaLu week
-Purple-
Purple was Lucy's favourite colour. When people ask you what your favourite colour is, they usually don't ask why. For that, she was thankful. She had a reason for her attraction to purple. It was the colour that Laxus tended to wear when she had started to develop feelings for the elder blonde.
You could say it started after he stepped in and saved both Natsu and herself from an attack by Hades of Grimiore Heart. It started off as a crush that she hid well. Mira never knew and Levy suspected nothing. After everyone came back from Tenrojima, he hung around and Lucy could see the lengths he went to so that he could be accepted after what he did during Fantasia. She had forgiven him long ago but it was obvious to her that he had not forgiven himself. When Gildarts allowed him back into the guild, the amount of effort he put toward the guild accepting him was doubled.
Sometimes when Lucy helped Mira out at the bar she would bring Laxus a beer while he works at master's paperwork in his office. His work ethic never ceased to amaze her. Though he might portray annoyance and reluctance, she could see that he didn't mind the quiet. She would knock before entering and he would look up from his work, give her a small smile and thank her every time.
When master had assigned her to do a mission with Laxus, a big party was held in her mind. She was ecstatic to be able to spend time with the older blonde. She was silently thanking her father for raising her to have an impenetrable mask. It wouldn't be good if her feelings for Laxus were discovered, especially by Mira.
In the past week she had seen so many sides of him and learned things about him that only his team knew. After he saved her on that solo mission, she saw such a caring side of him that he usually hid from other people. That night in the hotel room, just remembering it send shivers down her spine and a hint of pink to her cheeks.
In the last mission where they had to save Karen, she managed to land herself in yet another life or death situation. With her movements restricted and a knife to her throat she was scared stiff but when she looked at Laxus, it calmed her a bit. She had complete faith in him and knew that no harm would come to her. When he looked at her and their eyes locked she could see concern, shock and even a bit of worry. But what confused her was another emotion she couldn't place hiding in those blue/grey depths.
And afterwards with the encounter with the bandits, Lucy almost fainted at the memory. The way that leather accented the muscles in his legs and the way his tattoo rippled when he moved. To Lucy, Laxus looked like a God. She would have to thank Virgo later and let her choose more often.
She had never felt this way about another person before. Lucy knew that this had grown into more than a crush. Her heart beat just that little bit faster whenever she saw him and her breath would catch slightly when he gave her a rare smile. Though it annoyed her when her called her Blondie, she didn't really mind. In fact, it made her feel a little special. He only gave nicknames to people he liked and even then with his own team it was only short versions of their names.
It all clicked when she was reading a romance novel that she had borrowed from Levy, just what her feelings were. The symptoms matched the book's description perfectly. Was it true though? Could she, Lucy Heartfillia, really be in love with Laxus Dreyer?
So I bet you are all dying to know what happened after Laxus helped her in the first mission but you will have to be patient! All will be revealed in good time. Again, I'm sorry for how short it is. Anyway, tell me what you thought! until next time,
