Lucy X Laxus
I don't own Fairy Tale
Chapter 7 The Nightmare and The Day That Follows
(Lucy's POV)
The dream.
My body shook in a fear, but I felt stuck. The figure just keeps coming closer and there was nothing that I could do to stop it from coming to get me. The figure was saying something, but I couldn't make it out. We were in the guild and no one seemed to notice the figure standing there. I tried to scream, and I tried to reach out for my friends that stood around me. It was like they couldn't see me, and I was helpless to do anything but watch. My fear consumed and the darkness that surrounded the figure surrounded me. I was screaming but fell on death ears. I pushed myself to move and found myself running for dear life. I had no idea where I was and didn't know anyone around me. I felt hot salty tears running down my face and my body grow weak. Why was I running and who this person that was after and why were they after me? I came to a halt at the edge of a cliff that I did not recognize and before I knew I was pushed over the cliff.
End of the Dream.
I woke with a scream and someone pounded on the other side of the wall telling me to shut up. What kind of dream was that. I have never had a dream like that before and I hope to Mavis that I never have another like it. I sat in my bed and remained quit and wondered if I should call Natsu over but remember that he was probably unavailable. Now that him and Lisanna are together things have changed and yes it hurt at first, but I remember that he is my best friend first and I don't want that to go away. I could always ask Laxus to come over and tell him about the dream and see if he would be willing to stay over, but I honestly didn't feel like our friendship was that strong.
I sighed and threw the blankets off and looked at the time. It was only 2:30 in the morning. I stood and made my way to the fridge where I pulled out some orange juice and made me a glass. I made me sandwich before picking up my communication Lacrima and called Laxus.
"Your up early." He said answering my call.
"Yeah I had a really bad dream and was having trouble sleeping." I replied.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"I am little shaken up." I replied in a quiet voice.
"I am on my way over and you can tell me about your dream when I get there." He said and then the lacrima shut off.
I sighed and finished up my sandwich and orange juice before going and getting some extra bedding and laying them on my couch. I wasn't sure if he would stay the night, but if he did I would have Virgo bring him an extra bed from the spirit realm. I closed my eyes but didn't fall asleep. In all honesty I feared sleep now and did not feel safe trying to get any kind of sleep. It wasn't long before I heard a knock on the door and I knew who it was no questions. I walked to the door and there stood Laxus.
"Come on in." I said and stepped aside.
"Thank you. I hope you don't mind, but I think I will crash here tonight. I don't want to go back home." He said, and sat down on my couch and I sat beside him.
"Yeah that's fine, I was going to ask you to stay anyway." I said in a shy voice.
"Is that so." He said sitting down on the couch. "Tell me about your dream." He demanded.
"In the dream It was like I was in a trance and I couldn't move. There was shadowy figure pursing me and they were saying something, but I couldn't make it out. We were in the guild when this happened, and everyone was staring at me, but it was like they weren't. No matter what I said they couldn't hear me. I finally found the strength to move, but when I began running I had no idea where I was at and the next thing I know I at the edge of the cliff and I was pushed off the cliff and that is when I woke up." I said.
"Could you make out the features of this man or woman?" Laxus asked.
"I really couldn't make out anything other than the fact that it was a man that was pursing me." I said and hugged my knees to my chest.
"Was there anything familiar about the cliff that you were on?" He asked.
"All I could make out was that I was in a forest when I was running and the person chasing me knew me." I said.
"I don't think that the dream is anything to worry about, but if you keep having the dream we will talk to gramps. For the mean time you need to go to bed and honestly so do I. We do have an early morning tomorrow." Laxus said.
"Let me summon Virgo to get you a bed." I said.
"I can take the couch it is no problem." He insisted.
"I am going to get Virgo to bring you a bed. It won't be much, but it is better than sleeping on the couch." I said.
"Fine." He said and began moving things to make room for the bed.
"Gate of the maiden, I open Thee! Virgo." I said, and Virgo appeared with a pop.
"Punishment Princess?" Virgo asked.
"No, I just need you to bring Laxus a bed to sleep on." I said.
"Your wish is my command Princess." Virgo said and disappeared.
"Didn't know you had a kinky side." Laxus said with a smirk.
"No kinky side, that is just how Virgo is." I said with a deep red blush on my face.
"Whatever you say Princess." Laxus said and turned even redder.
A bed appeared in the middle of the floor with bedding and pillows followed by Virgo, and Laxus looked pleased with the bed and fell back on it.
"Punishment now Princess?" Virgo asked.
"No Virgo, you may go." I said, and she disappeared.
"That was an interesting visit." Laxus laughed.
"Shut up or I will make you go home." I said.
"No, you won't." He smirked.
"Are you so sure?" I asked.
"Yes, otherwise you wouldn't have called me!" Laxus stated.
"Do you want something to eat?" I asked.
"No, I'm good. I am going to go to sleep now. Sleep tight Princess." Laxus said.
"Alright sleep well." I said.
I turned off the lights and laid down on the bed. I laid there for little bit just staring at the ceiling wondering if I would get some sleep tonight. I looked over at Laxus and he was just sleeping peacefully, and I was surprised that he slept so soundly and feel asleep so quickly at that. I sighed and closed my eyes to get some sleep.
The dream again.
My body shook in a fear, but I felt stuck. The figure just keeps coming closer and there was nothing that I could do to stop it from coming to get me. The figure was saying something, but I couldn't make it out. We were in the guild and no one seemed to notice the figure standing there. I tried to scream, and I tried to reach out for my friends that stood around me. It was like they couldn't see me, and I was helpless to do anything but watch. My fear consumed and the darkness that surrounded the figure surrounded me. I was screaming but fell on death ears. I pushed myself to move and found myself running for dear life. I had no idea where I was and didn't know anyone around me. I felt hot salty tears running down my face and my body grow weak. Why was I running and who this person that was after and why were they after me? I came to a halt at the edge of a cliff that I did not recognize and before I knew I was pushed over the cliff.
End of the dream.
This time I woke up to Laxus shaking me. It was 6 in the morning and I had barely slept a wink. Laxus had a look of concern on his face, but what was I supposed to do. I needed more sleep, but I wasn't getting any at this rate. I wanted to ask if I could take a break on the training today or at least waiting until I go some sleep.
"Are you alright?" Laxus asked.
"I just had the dream again that is all." I said.
"We should really go see the master and see what he thinks about it." Laxus said.
"Could we try to sleep a bit a longer. I don't feel like I go enough sleep." I said.
"Alright blondie, but you are getting up at 8 and going to the guild to see the master." He said.
"Uh could you lay with me. I know that it's a weird request, but I think I would sleep better that way." I said. He sighed.
"I guess but you better share the bed." He said.
I smiled and scooted over to make room for him and he climbed in the bed with me. We had never turned on the lights because we just had a short conversation and now we were back to bed, but this time I was sharing with Laxus. I sighed in content and he pulled me close which shocked me, but I snuggled into him. It was strange, but I felt safe in his arms. It wasn't like the times that Natsu had held me, I truly felt safe with Laxus. The more time that I spent around Laxus the more that I forgot about the pain that Natsu had caused unknowingly. I closed my eyes and no dream came until Laxus woke that morning to go see the Master. I was in his arms and very close to him.
"You ready to go see the master?" He asked.
"No really, I kind of want to stay here all day." I laughed.
"To bad we need to go see gramps. He might be able to tell if your dreams are something worry about." Laxus said as he stood up.
"Fine." I grumbled.
I stood up and made my way to my restroom. I grabbed clothing on my way and took and quick shower and dried off and dried my hair. I put my clothes on which was Yellow tube top and a black min skirt. I pulled on the knee-high boots that were solid black and put my belt with keys on it on. I pulled my hair into a half ponytail and walked out the door.
"Go change!" Laxus demanded before I even made it out of the bathroom.
"Not a chance." I said and darted out he front door.
Before I made it out of my apartment Laxus grabbed me and pulled me to him. At first, I thought that he was going to teleport us to the guild but before I could say anything he kissed me. This wasn't like the first kiss that we shared, but it was unlike anything that I ever felt before. It was full of passion and love. I pushed against him and he kissed harder and ran my hands through his hair and his hands were around my waist pulling me closer and then suddenly he pulled away.
"I am sorry I should not have done that." Laxus said.
"I didn't mind it." I smiled.
"I am supposed to be teaching you, not having make out sessions. We should go." He said.
"Laxus wait, there is nothing to be afraid of. If you like me, you can say that you do." I said.
"Look there is no feelings between us, I am just here to train you." Laxus said.
(Laxus's POV)
I don't what came over me, Lucy come out of that bathroom and I had to visibly force myself to remain calm. She looked amazing and I had to resist the urge I was getting to claim her. The yellow shirt made me feel like she wore it just for me and that made me go crazy. I demanded that she changed her outfit, but she refused and darted out the door and I went out after her. Something came over me and I was kissing her before I could do anything. The way that her lips felt against mine and the way her body felt against mine was unlike anything I had ever felt before. I pulled away though knowing that it was wrong.
"I am sorry I should not have done that." I said.
"I didn't mind it." She smiled.
"I am supposed to be teaching you, not having make out sessions. We should go." I said.
"Laxus wait, there is nothing to be afraid of. If you like me, you can say that you do." Lucy said.
"Look there is no feelings between us, I am just here to train you." I said.
I could see that she was a little disappointed, but it was better this way. That is twice now that I have made out with the beautiful blonde. She was truly amazing, but I wasn't going to get attached and risk hurting her. I made my way to the guild hall with her following closely behind.
End of Chapter 7
