Chapter 9: Somebody I Used to Know
000-000

I opened my eyes and I instantly felt the rays of light, which were flashing through the windows creeping onto me. It was warm, just warm enough for my liking. While living in the dusty streets of Magnolia, the cold concrete was my sole bed and the stiffness of the piles of flattened boxes was my only blanket at night. That was the only thing that could help me fall asleep, but now this feeling was just too much of… my comfort.

Still the warmness was covering me. I started to stare onto a black guitar placed under the windows, with a guitar stand on its side.

'Comfy´ I thought to myself lazily as I snuggled more to the unlimited warmness that was engulfing me. Immediately, I felt a heavy, hot breath above my head, which was delicately moving my green hair.

"…" Then I realized that there were two large hands, hugging my thin frame as if they were not going to let it go. I quietly gasped in shock. Without any doubt, this was one of the sources of heat, while the other was the blanket covering us.

I didn't know the person who was hugging me now. Somehow I had a feeling that I knew him, but I could not point out who he was. Right now my only task was to walk away without waking him up.

"…" First, I tried to move his arms as gently as possible. During the first thirty seconds I thought that I would actually escape from his hug, but I was dead wrong as suddenly the clock chimed the time, half to first. In a second his arms came rushing to my stomach, making his hug more solid and a little bit possessive.

"Mmmmm…" He whispered in the sleep. I felt his nose suddenly nuzzled into my pale neck and his breath tickled my sensitive skin.

I stiffed as I felt his breath. 'Oh God, this can´t be happening´ Really, this couldn´t be happening. He is still sleeping, hugging me ever so tightly while nuzzling in my neck. Maybe I should wait. It seemed quite a good idea.

Tick tock, tick tock…

Meanwhile, for the fifth time I just wasted my time by moving as gently as possible, yet I couldn´t escape his clutches or hug. I just sighted in my thoughts. Maybe if he could only soften his hug, I might have a chance to escape. Thinking about it, rather than wasting my time again failing in escaping, maybe I should give up. There was nothing that could be done but to wait for him to wake up. Still, I could feel his breathing on my neck as I thought of another plan.

"…" Luckily, there was a clock on the table near me, so I could tell what time it was and now it was precisely eight o´clock. Maybe I should try again, maybe this time his arms would give up.

Though the warmness that he was giving me was so pleasurable and my mind was telling me that I should stay a little longer.

This isn´t so bad, not at all, I guess. I loved it, but I was not admitting it. His smell that had been lingering since I woke up was kind of nice, I could tell it was from some cheap soap and shampoo, but it was truly nice. Plus, I could feel his abdominal muscles touching my back and it felt so comfortable. Since I woke up his strong arms were clinging to my body as if I was his property.

When I was thinking about it, I felt my nether region warming. Oh God, I felt like I was a pervert who got turned-on by someone whose name I didn't know, or just forgot it. ´Shame on me…shame on me…. shame on me´ I tried to erase such description of him from my mind, but it was too graphic… His hard muscles… The smell… Maybe even his nether region… Oh, God.

"You smell damn good" he unexpectedly whispered as he instantly nuzzled his face into my neck.

At once, my eyes widened in surprise.

"Ekkkkkkkkkk!" I shrieked in a very girly manner as he loosened his grip, making me fall on the hard floor of his room. I raised my eyes at him and he smirked.

"Ow." I murmured, still lying on the cold floor of his room. Thankfully, I didn´t hit my head, but it was still painful.

"…"

I stood up rubbing my shoulders to ease the pain as he looked at me with heavy eyes. I simply stared at him because he was shirtless, that really bothered me. All of sudden, I realized that he was kinda attractive.

"Morning" He greeted me without any hint of emotion. His face was blank, only his eyes were showing tiredness. I instantly straightened my legs.

"Oh, God" I let out those two words before I continued. "I´m really sorry, I didn´t know that-"

"Just make some breakfast" He demanded, cutting in before I could finish what I was saying. As he was laying in the bed with the blanket covering the lower half of his body.

"…?" I stared at the still laying, shirtless blond man, who was watching me as well.

"Make some breakfast" He repeated with more firmness in his voice.

"Ammm…" I could not response on that command since it was too direct. Maybe if I escaped earlier, I wouldn´t be in this situation right now. "…" I just…I don´t know what to say, so I simply blushed.

"And if you're going to leave, please remember to put your pants on." He smirked as he started at the lower part of my body. I did not feel anything bad, but then again, I didn´t notice that I was half-naked.

This surely is embarrassing.

"So, that´s how I found you in a random alley." He said, leaning against the counter beside me, remaining shirtless showing off his really detailed body, wearing only black sweatpants as he braced his upper body against the black granite counter in the middle of the kitchen. I was embarrassingly frying two eggs in a pan with oil in its surface, watching as the heat of the stove was heating up the pan while the eggs cook fast.

I stared at the frying eggs, intensively trying not to be awkward. Not that it was facile, because, however you put it, I was cooking for a person who I met somewhere, some time ago, I didn't really remember. Luckily, the golden-hair man – or teenager, since his body was like of a 20 year old – was nice enough to pass me the pants I used to wear daily. However, I soon learned that this demon, I prefered to call him that depending on the situation, also gave me a pink apron, not a plain pink one but an apron with all of the sparkles and girliness in it. I wish I could get out here and do something… I didn't know, something important, I guess.

I kept daydreaming and thinking at the same time. Suddenly, I smelled the burning eggs, but I hadn´t realized it until a large muscular pair of arms unexpectedly engulfed my sides and took the pan with burning food out of the stove, then went to the sink and threw it there.

Shockingly, I blushed so hard that I could die like literally, while his face was high above me as if he was overprotective of me and I could not move an inch. Kami, I wished that this is not happening to me.

"Honestly, to burn the eggs" He said as his muscular arms, which were engulfing me, released me. I could not see his face, but clearly I thought he was pissed and yet…"Since you can't cook even a simple egg, I guess we´ll eat outside." He looked at me, emotionlessly. I could not say anything, so I kept gazing at him with my jaw dropped and my shaking hands.

000-000

"Please… let go" I whispered shyly as the summer sun´s rays hit us. The trees beside shaded us little by little. People were staring at us as he held my hands, or rather was gripping them tightly, as he was dragging me somewhere. The worst of all was that I wore strange clothes, which consisted of a skirt, high-legged boots and a shirt, which was too girly to even describe it.

"Just shut up and walk, woman" He smirked, with his yellow spiky hair hanging above his face by using an excessively amount of hair gel, that really looks like a hair for punks but maintaining his awfully handsome face while he is wearing a yellow t-shirt and a baggy plain gray pants, as he gripped my aching hands tighter and sped up.

"Don´t call me a woman!" I blushed hard and screamed loud enough to be heard by any person passing near us. Kami, first he violated into my choice of clothing and now I was being called a woman?!

"Then…" He suddenly stopped walking and I bumped into his large back. He turned around, facing me up and down like a peasant as he bent over to me and looked me into the eyes.

I started to sweat as his pure *yellow dark eyes stared at me, piercing my soul directly. I breathed as slowly as possible.

"Princess" He smirked deviously.

I really hated him…

000-000

It took us five minutes to reach the restaurant that the blond teenager forced me to come to. That place was called *Fairy Tail. It was a very large building made from woods, bricks and some part of it are metals from it´s foundation and some in it´s rooftop. Its banner, which was the name of the building itself, was in the front with some wacky old design that I thought was very outdated.

I really didn´t want to even enter the building, but that demon forced me to. If I had enough strength, I could escape from him, but no… I really hated my weak/fragile body.

We entered the restaurant called Fairy Tail and the first thing that I saw was a drunken woman, who came crushing into me and started kissing me in the cheeks.

"Oh, god you're so cute~!" *She started harassing me with kisses placed abruptly at different parts of my body.

"Stop it!" I screamed pushing her away and making her stumble into the ground as I went to the side of the demon's body for protection. I was almost raped by an unknown woman, whom I saw for the first time in my life, and it was very traumatizing.

The woman suddenly smiled at me and passed out on the floor, while the thunder demon smirked and chuckled softly.

"Damn, didn´t even know that you're such a sweetheart" He chuckled a little bit. Then he suddenly grabbed my arms and started walking further inside the restaurant.

Of course, I strangled at bit, but soon I knew he was incredibly strong. Definitely too strong for me. So I just gave up and followed him in silence.

Fairy Tail was very big to me, it was like you could fit an amusement park here and still have space for many other things. I gazed in amusement as crowd of people started to greet my not-so-friendly comrade, who was clutching my hands tight. I heard the repeated name ´Laxus` as people greeted him, but in return he just ignored them.

Until he saw the white-haired lady again, the one with the giant watermelon. She smiled at him as we went to the bar where she was standing, and then she greeted us.

"Hi Laxus and…" She looked me and I started blushing out of embarrassment and lowered my head in shyness because of what I was wearing. Kami, I didn't even know what would be her reaction.

" Her name´s Justin" He pointed out at me and my eyes widened in shock as the white haired woman started to blush.

"Oh." That time I also started blushing and she continued. "You must be a lucky girl!" She smiled naturally. "Of course, how I could be so silly, I forgot to tell you my name! I´m Mirajane Strauss, the barmaid of this place!" She face palmed gently.

Kami I was so embarrassed that I just lied to her. "Hi…" I smiled, looking up to her as my legs wiggled in shyness.

"Anyway, we´re going upstairs. Bring up the usual breakfast and don´t disturb us, woman" He made an annoyed growl as the white haired lady named Mirajane nodded. The man walked away from the counter with my hands still in his clutches.

"Laxus!" Mirajane shouted darkly as he looked her into her eyes with a `What again´ expression.

"It´s so rude pulling around your friend like that" She frowned at Laxus who in return didn´t give any fuck. "So, Justine would you like to help me?" She instantly lightened up her frown.

Thinking about it, maybe it could be a better idea to be away from the devil so I could escape, but on the other hand if she knew that I´m a boy she would be disgusted.

"No thanks…" I denied her offer. Dammit.

000-000

There was such an awkward atmosphere that I couldn´t even look right into his eyes as we were sitting, facing each other in a rectangular table. I was just fidgeting my fingers as the yellow haired demon just sat there, looking at me intently. Oh Kami, somehow I wished I could escape him.

"So, where are your studying?" He just blurred that question out of his mind as I was suddenly taken aback, looking directly at his bored looking expression with his arms crossing over one another as his legs are in the table.

Thinking about it, I haven´t even stepped into a school or near it, since father was always busy with more important things. I thought about it for a while and answered directly. "Ammmm in the North Magnolia Middle School " I lied.

"Hmm, okay, so how old are you then?" He raised an eyebrow at me. He didn´t bulge an inch in his comfortable position while I looked at him.

I inhaled gently as I answered. "Fourteen" This time I didn´t lie.

"Ya look younger and err thinner than most teenager" He commented as he stood up. All of sudden, a silent knock came flying from the doorless entrance where Mirajane was standing with a tray filled in plates and drinks.

"Well sorry for being late, I´ve been taking care of some customers" She went to our table and the yellow haired man helped her preparing the plates while I stared at them as if I was amazed by them, because they were almost… perfect together.

I continued to watch them preparing everything on the table; still I couldn't help but to adore them together. It was like they were a really good couple. However, I remembered that the white-haired lady told me that she had a son at one point, but the lightning demon looks more mature than his age category to the point where he could be mistaken as an adult like Mirajane. I felt a hint of jealousy stabbed me into my heart, but why?

"So, well, I´m done" She announced as she placed a plate in front of me. "Enjoy, Justin. Okay? Hope you like what I made" She smiled and I smiled back with respect. She went to the exit of the room. "Laxus," She suddenly added before she stepped out at the stairs. "Be nice with your friend, okay?" She smiled at him. "Or else I´ll be mad" She raised an eyebrow for intimidation as the yellow haired man nodded. "Well, see ya later!" She winked at me before she went down.

"Some crazy woman" He whispered as he went to his seat and sat there. At last, we began to eat.

000-000

It was past two when we left Fairy Tail and still his large rough hand was painfully clenched on my wrist as we walked somewhere I didn't know. Though the thought of leaving him was pretty much impossible. It was clear to me that it would never happen anytime, yet I still wouldn't give up.

We went to a park where the Cherry Blossom trees were blooming with pink petals. At first, my eyes widened as I saw the trees from the park with beautiful petals everywhere, but I didn´t move an inch because I knew that the demon wouldn´t dare trying to release me from his iron grip. Still, I looked at them as if they only appeared once in a century.

It was my first time seeing a real Cherry Blossom tree, let alone being able to see it in its spring form. I smiled faintly.

"So, have you been here before?" He asked without looking at me.

"No…" I quickly answered.

With all odds, his iron grip around my wrist suddenly disappeared. Giving me total freedom to do anything I wanted. I looked at him as he stared into the Cherry Blossoms across our position.

"I´ll stay there, just be back before sunset" He said in a dull manner as he pointed out a bench where he will be staying as still looked at him. He left after a second.

Left completely alone, one-side of my brain said that I could escape from him, but the other one felt like if I left him, something would never be the same again.

I looked at him sitting on the bench where he was supposed to stay. He stretched his heavy large arms widely as he sat there all alone, watching people passing through or even thinking about something.

Looking at him I thought that maybe I should stay? Thinking that he was one of the few who were ever nice to me. In some way…
