I don't own Fairy Tail or Paranormal Activity.

-Time skip one week-

The team had returned late in the member of the Thunder God Tribe headed in the direction of their own home agreeing to meet up at the guild tomorrow.

As Laxus approached the house he could hear loud music playing, he enters and doesn't see Lucy or Zeus. After taking off his boots and dropping his bag down he heads into the kitchen. He stopped when he got to the archway that leads into the kitchen, a smile came across his face, as he leaned against the wall.

The song had changed, playing another classic song from his collection. He was surprised she was listening to it, he thought she would be a pop fan or something along that line. But here she was dancing to Journey's Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'. He couldn't help but stare, her hair was in a side ponytail, bare feet, she had on a red tank top and grey shorts that barely could be called that.

She started out by the sink swaying her hips slowly from side to side but as the chorus came she began to use a spatula as a mic and sing to Zeus. Her hips were moving more and her hands were roaming over her body.

'Does she even realize how sexy she is right now?...of course not.' Laxus thought with eyes still glued to the girl. Then he had to hold back a laugh, Lucy had went from sexy to rocking out on her air guitar. 'Fuck! even that sexy. Damn it Blondie getting me hard so easily.''

The song was coming to an end, he had to give it to Zeus, he knew his master was there yet hadn't moved at all. 'Good boy. Knew he was still on my side.'

When it was over Laxus started clapping still with a smile on his face, "Nice moves Blondie."

Lucy whipped her head around, her face beat red at being caught. Zeus ran over to Laxus. He bent down and gave Zeus affection, but still kept an eye on Lucy. She had covered her face with her hands. He stood up and walked over to her placing a hand on her head. "No need to be embarrassed, I enjoyed the show, think Zeus did too."

She didn't remove her hands, "that's twice now I've been caught this week."

Laxus removed his hand and raised an eyebrow, 'This week?' "What do you mean this week?"

She moved her hands but didn't attempt to look up, "Master came by."

"Why?" He frowned

"I quote, 'I came to make sure my idiot grandson didn't just fill the tub with water and leave the food container open for Zeus.' that's why."

Laxus shook his head and moved to the fridge to grab a beer. "Did he ask why you were here?"

"He didn't really ask but by the look on his face it was obvious. I told him you asked and I said I would. He seemed shocked about that. Also that I had left a note for my team that I was on a mission, and if he could verify that in case they asked questions."

"Right, well I'm going to get cleaned up." He finished the beer.

"Do you want something to eat?"

He nodded then left to head up stairs. He entered his room and noticed Lucy's scent. He opened the bathroom door and her scent was stronger in there meaning she took advantage of his jacuzzi tub. He had given her the okay before he left, so that wasn't what bothered him, it was her scent. He striped down and stepped into the hot shower, thinking about what was happening.

He even surprised himself, offering to help her out after what Natsu and Gray did, that wasn't like him. During the mission he had been thinking about her often. Something about her stirred something in him. What it was exactly he wasn't sure.

He had even thought of going into town and finding someone to help distract him. However he realized he didn't really have an interest in doing that. Since returning from exile, he had been trying to clean up his reputation and image. The GMG had help in some ways but it didn't change the fact that most saw him as a 'Ladies Man'. He still had his one night stands here and there but not like when he was younger. Plus now that the guild was back up and running he was busy between paperwork and jobs.

'I just need to get laid it's been awhile.' He thought and that strange feeling stirred making him feel almost sick. 'Not this again.' It was the same feeling he felt when he had thought about going to find someone while on the mission.

He was pulled from his thoughts and that sick feeling when her heard a Knock and Lucy's voice, "Laxus the food is getting cold. Are you okay?"

"If I say no would you come in?"

"I could send Loki in."

"Don't! I'll be down in a min." He shook his head but had a small smile on his face as he turned off the water and go dressed before heading down stairs.

He made it down the stairs and seen Lucy had placed a plate of food and a beer on the coffee table. He sat on the couch next to Lucy. "You're not eating?"

"I thought you would be back tomorrow so I already ate. Hope chicken and pasta is okay."

He nodded as he ate the food. Once done he asked, "I picked up some new movies. Want to watch one?" He looked over at her waiting for a reply.

"You don't want me to go home tonight?" She sounded a bit surprised. She had figured he would want the house to himself after a mission.

Laxus stood up and walked over to his bag to pull out a few movies he had picked up. "You can leave if you want." He looked over to her and shook her head 'no'. "Something scary?"

"No."

"Oh don't like scary movies Blondie?"

"It's not a secret." She pouted. He ignored her pout and started the movie, then grabbed his empty plate and took it to the kitchen sink. "Is this scary!" he heard her yell.

Again he ignored her and grabbed a blanket and returned to the couch, "I don't know we'll find out." He sat down and handed her the blanket. She got comfortable between Laxus and Zeus and covered herself up.

The movie he had chosen was Paranormal Activity. Lucy had pulled the covers over her face at some parts. Laxus had wrapped his around her shoulders and at those time would rub her arm to comfort her. He offered to change the movie but she had said she was already invested in the story.

Laxus really wanted to lay down so he stood up and pulled Lucy up with him. He then sat back down and laid down and once again pulled Lucy down so she was now sitting in front of him. Zeus was curled up down by Laxus's feet. Lucy laid down in front of Laxus and attempted to cover them both with the blanket. Her attention then went back to the movie. Laxus soon fell asleep forgetting about the movie. Lucy stayed awake till the end but she was to comfortable to move so let herself sleep.

Lucy slightly woke up enough to notice she was now facing Laxus's chest. She really needed to lay on her other side, so she rolled her over only to fall off the couch onto the floor. Laxus woke up when he heard the thump and looked down at Lucy.

"You okay?" He asked as she sat up groaning.

"Yeah." She rubbed her face and just sat there.

Laxus stands and scooped her up in his arms, "Let's go to bed."

As they make there way up the stairs Lucy lays her head on his chest and asks, "can I sleep in your bed? It looks comfy."

He paused for a moment before walking past her room and into his room, "you'll be the first girl to sleep in my bed."

"You're lying." After that comment she was dropped on the bed. She crawled over to the other side and pulled the covers back and got under. She giggled as she got comfy.

"I've never brung a women back to my place." He took off his shirt and crawl in bed next to her.

"I must be special than." She yawned and closed her eyes to go back to sleep

He pulled her closer after wrapping an arm around her, "Must be."

-Morning Time-

Laxus woke up when a pulse ran through him alerting him that once again someone had entered the ruins around his house. Without opening his eyes, he let out a small growl. Then he heard a small giggle coming from the girl in his arms and a leg thrown over him.

"Are you growling at me again?" She said lazily as she rolled off of him.

He growled again, as she left his arms, "Now I am." He sat up and moved his neck making it crack, then went into the bathroom. When he was done he saw Lucy was sitting on the edge of the bed, "All yours. Seems Gramps is here...be sure to come say hi." He gave her a wink before leaving the room and heading down to open the door.

'It's too early for this shit.' He thought before opening the door."Gramps." He moved to let his grandfather in and Zeus out.

"Well good morning Laxus, Zeus." He walked in and glanced around the place.

Laxus sighed, "Did you need something?"

"Hmm I'm curious."

"About?" He asked but he knew the answer

"Lucy."

"We're friends." He crossed his arms over his chest.

"Lax-"

"Hello Master." Lucy interrupted him as she walked down the stairs still in her pajamas. She gave him a cheerful smile but Laxus seen the look in her eyes...she was up to something. It was confirmed when she gave him a wink as she stood close to him and slide her arm behind him touching his bare back. He decided to play along wrapping an arm around her shoulder pulling her closer. "Laxus and I are good friends now."

Laxus had a smirk on his face as he looked down at Lucy. Lucy just smiled and then turned back to Mater. "Would you like something to drink Master?"

"No thank you." He gave her a forced smile.

Lucy stepped in front of Laxus, letting her hand slowly glide around him to his side, "Coffee?" He nodded as she moved away letting her hand trail across his midsection and smirking at him. Master's Jaw hit the floor.

Laxus couldn't keep his eyes off her, that was until she disappeared and he felt an evil aura. He whipped his head back to the older man, the look on his grandfather's face was a mix of anger and shock. "My office, the second you get to the guild." The tone and glare, had Laxus a bit scared but he wouldn't let it show. He just nodded.

Lucy came back in handing Laxus a cup. Zeus came in with her and laid down on the floor chewing on a bone. Laxus couldn't help it, "Looks like mom got you a treat huh Zeus."

Makarov held a smile on his face, "I need to be returning to the guild. Laxus come to the guild soon, there's a lot of paperwork waiting for you." Laxus grunted at the thought of paperwork and the scolding he was sure to get for this little act. "Be sure to come as well Lucy. Your team seems anxious for you to return."

"I will. Thank you Master." She stood next to Laxus again. Master turned without another word and left, closing the door behind him.

After a few minutes both blondes starting laughing out loud. "You know how much shit he's going to give me for this stunt?" Laxus tried to glare at her but she was still laughing.

"Sorry. But that look on his face was way better then the perverted one I saw when he caught me dancing. so payback."

"You're a little vindictive, you know that?"

She put a finger to her lips, "Keep that a secret." She left his side and took a step up the stairs. "I'll clear this up with Master once I get to the guild. okay?" Then she continued up the steps.

"Good. 'cause Gramps and I both have a thing against me messing around with girls in the guild." He took a drink of his coffee.

Lucy stopped, "Don't worry, I'll go home, shower, then head in. Give me an hour?" She didn't bother to look at him and just went into the room she used.

He nodded and followed her up stairs. Taking note of Lucy's mood in his room he pulled out a dark blue t-shirt and black pants. He buttoned his pants and heard the front door close. After a second he quickly pulled the shirt over his head and ran down the steps and flung the front door open, to see Lucy walking off. He rushed towards her and reached out to take hold of her wrist. "What are doing?"

Lucy stopped when she felt his hand wrapped around her wrist. The hold wasn't to tight but enough to know she couldn't just pull out of it. Plus he sounded worried, she turned but didn't meet his gaze. "I got an hour to get back, shower and get to the guild."

"I can teleport you near your apartment."

"You don't have shoes on."

He was surprised, 'what did that matter?' "I'll put some on and don't you want your rent money?" She had almost forgot about that, she nodded. "Okay. Then wait here." He went back to the house to get socks, shoes and his coat. He came back and stood close to Lucy.

She waited for him to take hold of her and his magic to carry them to her apartment or 'near it.' She finally looked up at him, he was just staring at her. She cleared her throat, "Ready?"

"No...go on a date with me."

Her eyes widened, 'A date with Laxus….' "A-are y-you asking or…"

"Yes. Would you want to go on a date?" He was holding his breath waiting for her reply. The look in her eyes was mixed, he couldn't get a good reading.

"I thought you didn't mess around with girls from the guild." She had turned her face down, finding the ground safer to look at. Suddenly a hand was on her chin lifting her face up. The look on his face serious, his eyes were narrowed as he looked into hers.

"Lucy." His gaze soften, and she could see something in his amber colored eyes. "I'm not messing around with you." He was being honest. "One date and if you still don't believe me or aren't interested then-"

"Let's go somewhere fun."

"Now?" He raised an eyebrow.

"No, for a date." He took hold of her and charged his magic encircling them both, then they were gone.

Laxus landed around the corner from her apartment. When the slight dizzy feeling passed Lucy stepped away from his embrace. He reached into his pocket and pulled out an envelope. "Thank you."

She took it, "My team might want to go on a mission so…"

"It's fine. We'll figure it out later?" He gave her his signature smirk, "Remember to talk to Gramps. He likely not to believe me."

"I won't!" She yelled as she ran to her apartment leaving Laxus, who teleported himself back to house to shower before going to the guild.

'What's fun to do on a date? Sex...yeah I bet it would be with her..Damn it.' Normally all Laxus had to do wa pick out a 'target' buy her a drink, do a bit of flirting and charm his way into getting them in bed. The idea of going on a real date was weird. Laxus continued to think as he waited. Zeus was laying on floor sleeping unaware of his masters dilemma.

Lucy pushed open the guild doors and walked in, She spotted her friends at one of the tables. She was hoping they accepted what Master had told them. She felt someone fly into her chest and hug her, Lucy! Your back!"

"Hi Happy."

Natsu and Gray stopped mid-fight, "Hey Luce/Lucy!" They said in union before returning to their fight.

"Welcome back Lucy." Mira yelled from behind the bar as Lucy removed Happy from herself, waved back to Mira, then made her way to the second floor to Master's office.

She knocked on the door and when she heard "come in" she opened the door, "Lucy my child, how can I help you?" He stopped reading the papers in his hands. He was surprised to Laxus hadn't come in yet.

"First thank you Master for telling my team you sent me on a mission." She took a seat in one of the chairs.

"It was no trouble."

"About this morning…" This peaked his interest, he was upset that Laxus would mess around with a member of the guild. "Laxus and I are just friends. It was a just a prank. Laxus played along for my sake. So please don't think he's done something wrong. He's been really nice and sweet. I'm happy we've become friends, I don't want my prank to cause problems with you both."

"Lucy." He cut her off before she could continue her pleading. "Thank you. I'm glad to hear my grandson is behaving himself. Don't worry about Laxus and I. You've cleared up this misunderstanding."

She stood up, gave him a smile, "I'm sorry for the trouble." She turned and left the office. She saw Laxus leaning on the wall just outside Master's office. "I hope I helped." She whispered and walked past him as he pushed off the wall and opened the door to his grandfather's office.

He walked in and took a seat on the couch,instead of one of the chairs. "So there wasn't anything going on, that's a relief." Laxus nodded in a responds. "Since when have you two been so close?"

"I ran into her a few time during the disbandment." He knew it was still a bit of a sore topic and it may hurt his Gramps to be reminded of his choice. "This prank was payback for catching her dancing."

"She told you about that?" the look on his face changed to a smile as he began to remember seeing Lucy dancing around in her short short and tank top.

"Hey!" Laxus yelled snapping the old man out of his memory. "Are we done here?" Master nodded, "Gramps…I don't need trouble for myself or for Blondie. So." He looked at his grandfather.

"Don't worry laxus. Now get to that paper work." He returned his attention to his own paperwork as Laxus got up and left. He knew how Lucy's team would react to hearing anything about the two blondes.

Once Lucy had made it down stairs she joined Natsu and Happy. Natsu began asking questions about the mission. "Did you have to take down a dark guild?"

"No Natsu."

"A monster?"

"Nope."

"Did you bring back fish?" Happy asked.

"No. Sorry Happy."

"Well it must have been a boring mission." Natsu said pouting.

"I did manage to get some writing done."

"Boring." Happy turned his attention back to the fish he already had.

"Did you and Gray manage to collect some of your reward to pay for the repairs?"

Scratching the back of his head Natsu smiled at her, "About that…" Lucy sighed, she didn't need him to explain what happened. "It's all Gray's fault!"

"What did you say Flame Brain?"

Natsu took off toward the table Gray, Juvia, Wendy and Lisanna were at. Soon enough the two were yelling out insults and fighting. So Lucy looked around the guild but didn't see who she was searching for. She headed to the bar to ask Mira, "Mira have you seen Freed?"

"He might still be in the library." She smiled and returned to cleaning off the bar

"Thanks Mira." Lucy made her way to the guild's library.

Once she enter she seen Freed sitting at one of the tables reading a book. She went over and sat down across from him, waiting for him to finish. He finished the part he was on, closed the book and looked up at Lucy, "Hello Miss Lucy. How may I help you?"

"Hello Freed, I was wondering if you could put some ruins around my apartment?"

"Is everything okay?" He asked with a bit of worry in his voice,

"I just need some boundaries with my team after the damages they caused again."

He nodded, "I understand. Any special request?"

"Not really, but I guess if I'm in danger then someone should be able to enter huh?"

"Yes, I can make it so a member of Fairy Tail can enter only in an emergency." He saw Lucy nod and continued, "Anyone else?" He asked. She shook her head no. "Okay. I should have it ready in a few."

'What would Laxus think if I did add him?'

"Thank you, Freed." She got up and headed back into the main hall of the guild.

Once she was up there she seen both Natsu and Gray knocked out leaning against one another. Erza was sitting beside them talking with Wendy, Biska and Laki.

Lucy heard her name being called and looked to see Levy waving her over to her table. "Hi Levy."

"Hey Lu. How was the mission?"

"It went well." She sat down next to Levy, "hi Gajeel, Lily."

Gajeel reply with a grunt, while a "Hello Lucy." came from Lily

Lucy returned her attention back to Levy, "I have the next chapter of my story done."

"Really?" Levy said with excitement.

"Yep. I'll bring it in tomorrow." Levy frowned. "What?"

"I'm heading out on a mission tomorrow. There has been some strange activity going on around a small village. Some ruins appear at the scene, so they just want them identified. Would you be interested in coming?"

"What kind of activity?" Lucy asked intrigued.

"Nothing too serious it seems. Just small pranks here and there. Like stealing items, switching or removing people's clothes, painting the live stock different colors, changing the town's name."

"You think bringing her along somewhere where clothes go missing is a good idea?" Gajeel pointed out adding, "Bunny girl has a habit of losing them." That earned the Iron Slayer a small hit on the arm by Lucy. Levy giggled while Gajeel glared at Lucy.

"You did just return sorry I didn't think about that."

"Actually I'm interested in going. The last mission was really easy anyways."

"I was going to ask you more about that." Lucy and Levy turned to see Erza approaching the table.

"Be ready to leave tomorrow and dress warm." Gajeel told them as he and Lily got up to leave the women to chat.

Erza took a seat next to Levy, waiting for Lucy to say something. Lucy took a breath and began, "It really was nothing dangerous. I was simply house/pet sitting for a friend of Masters while they were out." It wasn't a total lie.

"That's it?...Well I'm glad it wasn't anything dangerous."

'Why? Don't they know I can take care of myself.'

"Luce!" Natsu ran over holding a paper, "Let's go on a mission!"

"Sorry Natsu I'm going with Levy, Gajeel and Lily tomorrow."

"Why?"

"Levy invited me." He slumped his shoulders but didn't say anything after.

"I think it's great idea to work with other members once in awhile." Erza pointed out and grabbed the paper from Natsu's hand. After a minute of reading it over she smiled, "Natsu I will accompany you. Also I think bringing Wendy and Lisanna along will benefit us."

Natsu perked up, grabbed the mission again and then ran over to Lisanna and Wendy. Erza bid farewell to the two girls and followed Natsu.

"I should go home and start packing. I'll see you tomorrow at the station." Lucy said as she waved to Levy. She then made her way around saying goodbye to the others.

Laxus sat reading over yet another damage report. He had really just wanted the day to end, the reports were one thing, also he couldn't stop his mind from thinking about Lucy and the date. There was a knock at the door, "Come in."

Freed entered the office but didn't bother to take a seat, "Laxus."

"Hey, what's going on?"

"I'll be leaving now. Is there anything you need?"

"A break. Heading home?"

Freed shook his head no, "I need to stop by Lucy's first then I'll head home."

This perked Laxus interest as he put the paper he was reading down and looked up, "Blondie's. Why?" He stood up and grabbed his coat thowing in over his shoulders.

"Lucy asked me for a favor."

"That favor being?" he raised his eyebrows at the green haired man and stared at him waiting for an answer. There was a pull of jealousy inside of Laxus as he wondered what it was she had asked of him.

"To put ruins around her apartment."

'Oh….' "So Blondie took my advice. Let's go." Laxus walked passed Freed and opened the door.

"You're coming along?"

"Problem?"

"Not at all." Freed replied as the pair left the guild and made their way to Lucy's.

So I couldn't decided where to end this chapter. Thanks again
