hi guys i know it's been a while but here it is. I would also like to clarify somethings because i don't know if i'll get to them in the story. This is set after the tournament but the dragons and what not didn't happen in this story. Also the group was also on the island so they to have not grown or been out in the world for 7 year and when they mention how long their mission was that was not including the 7 years. Also i'd like to start telling the stories through they other 3's point of view because each have a love interest and a story to tell. But i'd like you guys to choose who's next. Thank you so much for reading this.

Laxus point of view

As the day faded away I became more and more aware of my feels towards my old friend. So much so that I had caught myself a couple of times glaring at members of the guild as they eyed her up. But who could blame them I thought as I looked over to where she was dancing, pissed drunk, with Lucy and Wendy. All these thoughts in my head just won't subside and I'm kind of afraid to be by her.

What happens if I mess up, lose control? Would she still call me her knight or would I become a monster? I was interrupted by these thoughts as Azure started to pull on my hand. "LAXUS! Come on you should come and dance with us." She slurred every word just confirming how drunk she was.

"You're a lot drunker than I thought." She gave me the cutest pout face ever as she put her hands on her hips. "And what's that supposed to mean?" "Laxus I need you to do me a favor." I almost sighed in relief; for once Natsu had saved me from something that I had no idea how to get out of. "Yeah what do you need?" I said turning my attention from a drunk, mad Azure to Natsu who had a passed out Lucy over his shoulder.

"Would you mind taking Azure back to your place. As you can see I already have my hands full with Lucy and I really don't know if I could carry both if she suddenly passed out." "Where's Lightning?" I said trying to find an escape from something that could go very bad. "She's on a mission until tomorrow." Crap, if tonight goes anything like last night I don't know if I could control myself but I don't want Natsu to have to try and take her home to.

"Fine but only if Azure is okay with it." Out of nowhere Azure leaped on me almost making me fall. "Of course I'll go home with Laxus!" Great this is going to be a long night. "Then let's get going." I said standing up just wanting to get this over with. She quietly followed me out of the guild as we said our goodbyes to Natsu and the others.

Everything seemed to be going fine until we got to the ally way. "Laxus what do you think of me?" I nearly died as she asked me in a small voice. "You're one of my oldest friends." I said quickly. "Is that all I am to you?" I could just here a faint bit of sadness in her tone. Great now what am I going to do.

I can't tell her the truth, can I? As I had an internal war with myself I felt a tug at my arm. I was not expecting what happened next as I turned to face Azure I suddenly felt something warm and soft on my lip sending a shiver of pleasure to wash over me. I quickly snapped out of it pushing Azure to the side. "Enough that was a stupid thing to do." I said as I walked passed her down the ally way.

"Am I really not attractive to you or do you still think of me as a child." I could hear the tears in her voice but I didn't turn around if only she knew the thoughts that were going through my head she'd know she was not just an old friend.

I knew that if I turned around I'd giving in, if only she had done this when she wasn't drunk maybe than I could give in to her temptation but until she can tell me these things sober I won't listen. The rest of the walk was an awkward heavy silence, she didn't even ask for a t-shirt to sleep in she just went straight for the couch and went to bed. That night I got little sleep and in the morning I woke up to find Azure gone and a piece of my heart with it.

Azure point of view

I could only remember bits and pieces of last night. God was I really that stupid to think Laxus could like me in anyway and I guess it didn't help that I was pissed drunk either. He probably thinks I'm just… just some slut.

I looked up to the clouded blue sky trying to find any reason why he shouldn't hate me. I mean all I did was cause problem after problem. First my fight with Evergreen than him having to carry me home because I passed out, than me getting drunk and kissing him. I've been nothing but one problem after the next and I have only been here 3 days.

A mission, I need something to clear my head. I got up and brushed the dirt and grass off me and started to head in the direction I thought the guild was in. "Azure. Hey are you out there?" I could hear Laxus's voice in the distance and I knew I had to hurry. There is no way I can face him today.

As I got to the guild I quickly rushed over to the board and took the first thing I saw. Right when I was leaving Lucy, a very hung over Lucy, came walking in. "How did it go last night, were you able to tell him."

I wanted to smile and say no, pretend that it didn't happen, that I don't remember how much my heart ached but I couldn't. Without warning tears streamed down my face. "Azure, I'm sorry I didn't mean." I cut her off. "No it's okay. He rejected me; it seemed I'm just always going to be the long lost childhood friend." With that I rushed out past her and out of the city. I didn't stop running until I was far, far away.
