Laxus POV:

This just isn't fair...I think as I stand outside the guild hall.

Lucy is in love with me which is nice but incredibly bad fucking timing, Erza didn't glare at me or yell but then again I just do NOT want to be near those bumbling idiots Natsu and Gray. All the while pretending to be a girl and happy and cheerful and lala nothing can go wrong perfect life idiotic wa-"Hey Luce!"

I hear a loud shout from behind me pulling me out of my thoughts. Natsu... I internally groan. "Lucy? You ok? You're slouching" Gray walks up in only his underwear. I hear the pink-haired salamander make gagging noises behind me.

"GROSS WHY DO YOU SMELL LIKE THAT?!" Natsu shouts coming closer. "What do you mean Natsu?" I manage to choke out in the sweetest voice I can muster. "You smell like HIM" Natsu growls out glaring at my own body walking towards the Guild. "Come on Natsu not today.." I say trying to grab his arm. His stance and gaze softens lightly. In a sharp twist he turns back to me and gets close to my face. "Did he hurt you? Lucy tell the truth did that ugly bastard hurt you?! I swear I'll kill him if he did!"

"Relax Natsu let's just stay out of his way ok? Erza said we have something to talk about anyways." Natsu gives me a blank stare and I start to wonder why Lucy has put up with his crap for so long. He's about to say something when my body gets closer and I hear the words "Move out of my damn way." come from my mouth. Damn she's good. I smirk slightly as I step out of the way. In a flash Natsu is behind my towering figure yelling out "fight me! fight me!"

I see her move my head slightly and in a growl I hear "I'm not in the fucking mood for this Natsu." As she walks in the doors presumably heading for the upstairs briefing/meeting with Freed. Gray starts chuckling as Natsu rants about "me" threatening him. I can't help but smile a little.

Lucy's POV:

I finally found my way to my street when I smell Natsu. Have I always had this great sense of smell? No it must be Laxus and his magical abilities. I begin to walk down the familiar path straight to the guild. I see my body with Natsu and Gray surrounding it. Laxus must be agitated by now. When I get almost close enough to be in range of my regular smell/sight/hearing I begin to glare to get a more realistic Laxus face.

I see my face staring in space he's probably deep in thought. I muster up the courage to say move and to my surprise no one says a word. As I reach for the door I hear Natsu start ranting and telling me to fight him. Ok you got this Lucy. What would Laxus do? Laxus would..

I let out a growl through my throat. It feels natural and I turn my head ever so slightly. "I'm not in the fucking mood for this Natsu." Oh boy I've really done it now that was too much I better go inside before he punches me! I yank open the door and walk quickly upstairs leaving a grumbling Natsu and a laughing Gray behind outside.

Being up here feels really weird. "Hmm." I hum out scanning the top floor. Freed is in a dark corner chattering with Bickslow. He sees me and motions for me to join him. Evergreen walks past me almost in a hurry. She turns to face me as I approach their table. "Is there anything you want to tell us? Lucy?" uh oh.

Laxus's POV:

"Ah Lucy it is so nice to see you." Erza pats down the seat next to her motioning over our group. "Now." She says facing me. "How much has Natsu told you about the job we are doing?" "Nothing actually he tried to start a fight with me- um Laxus. He tried to fight Laxus." Her questioning gaze soon turned to an icy cold glare directed at him. "Natsu what have I told you about bothering him?!" She speaks through her clenched teeth.

Gray pipes in "Erza let's just get this job over with please. I've got solo's back to back. What about you Lucy? Do you have any on the table you're itching to start?" "What? Oh yeah." This is too weird I'm going to kill the fucker who did this to me. I try to giggle to relieve the tension. "You are right Gray." Erza turns back to the nice motherly figure she acts around Lucy.

"Our mission is to kill a monster and destroy a very low level dark guild. They've got about 50 members trying to be the next Eisenwald. We will stop them in their tracks and be back by noon time tomorrow." "And the monster?" I ask a little intrigued. "You've got a sharp mind Lucy. It's very big but don't be alarmed. He'll be so easy even Happy could do it. Speaking of Happy where is he Natsu? You two are never apart." "He's over there harassing Carla again." Natsu grumbles out. It almost sounds like he is pouting.

I take this opportunity to quickly glance up at the second floor. Freed looks upset with me. Probably because she was an hour late.

"Well Lucy what do you think?" Shit! I wasn't listening! "I'm sorry what?" Real smooth Laxus. "Should we start the mission now or wait a while?" Erza repeats her question. "Well maybe we should stay a little. I haven't even gotten my um banana and strawberry milkshake!" I let out a not so convincing laugh and Erza just smiles and shakes her head. "Alright Lucy haha. You drive a hard bargain. We will leave in an hour. Do be ready. This is our last one." Erza looks at each one of us as if she was about to cry. "Make it count.."
