Thank you to everyone followed, favorited and reviewed. Without further ado, here's chapter 10
Disclaimer – don't own fairy tail, just Crave and the plot.
"How long have you been in love with my niece?"
The question caught Laxus by surprise; the blonde haired man stared at the older gentlemen sitting across from him.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Laxus stated coolly.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about, I may be old but, I'm not blind or dumb. I see the look you give Lucy when you think nobody's looking. It's the same look Lucy's father gave her mother before she died. So, I ask again. How long have you been in love with my niece?" Crave asked.
Laxus sighs. "I don't know where to start" He says while sitting back in his chair.
Crave gives him a small smile."How about at the beginning?"
"The first time I noticed her was when she first joined Fairy Tail, However, back then I was a major jackass and viewed everyone else as weak and claimed myself as the Guild's strongest wizard, the first time I saw Lucy it was just lust. When Gajeel's and Juvia's old Guild Phantom Lord attacked in exchange for my help, I demanded that Lucy became my woman. Then, after that happened, I blamed the whole thing on her and called her a rich little princess wannabe wizard."
"Wow. You were really full of yourself weren't you?" Asked Crave with shocked look on his face.
"Yeah, I'm not exactly proud of that part of my past." Laxus said as he got up and went to his mini fridge and got a couple of beers and handed one to Crave before leaning against the desk."That's not the entire story is it?"
Asked Crave, taking a drink.
"No, It was shortly after that I tried taking over the Guild, and had Evergreen turn Bisca, Levy, Mira, Juvia Erza, Cana and Lucy to stone, and had everyone else fight each other to see who was strong enough to stay in the Guild when I took over as master. However, Erza somehow got free and defeated Evergreen which set the other girls free from the stone, They joined the fighting. Lucy and(?) took on Bickslow and won. I was actually rather surprised by that.
Both Gajeel and Natsu took me and defeated me after everything had settled down gramps banished me from the Guild. I decided to travel around Fiore. Before leaving, I watched the parade when I saw Lucy, I remember thinking she looked really cute in her outfit. This time, there was no-lust when I looked at her.
When wondering around the desert, one day there was a feeling in my gut telling me there was trouble since I always follow my instincts. I rushed to Tenrou Island. When I got there, I saw team Natsu on the floor about to be killed by someone named Hades that was Guild Master before my grandfather, But, left and turned to the dark side. When I got there and saw how hurt she was, something in me snapped and beat the crap out of Hades. But, in the end, it was Natsu who defeated him. Then, a dragon called Acnologia showed and tried killing us. But, the spirit of Fairy Tail's first master Mavis Vermillion cast a spell that put us to sleep for seven years."
"So, that's why Jude and I hadn't heard from her." Crave said while setting his empty bottle on the desk.
"Yes, thank goodness for that spell otherwise everyone who was on the island would've been dead. But, we lost seven years because of it, by the time we returned, Lucy had found out that her father had died." Laxus said with a sad look on his face.
"After that, I was reinstated back into the Guild. All thanks to Cana's father, Gildarts Clive. Everyone was a little weary to hear that I don't blame them after all I had make them fight each other. The only ones who were happy to have me back were my team and Lucy. She welcomed me back with a smile." Laxus said with a small smile.
Flashback the day after Laxus was reinstated
Laxus was sitting at the bar with a beer just minding his own business when suddenly someone sits next to him.
"Hey Mira. Can I get a strawberry smoothie please?" Asked the other blonde haired mage known as Lucy Heartfilia.
"Coming right up, Lucy" Said the oldest Strauss sibling. It was then Lucy noticed Laxus sitting next to her.
"Hey Laxus, how's it going?" Lucy asked with smile on her face.
"Just dandy." Laxus said and took a drink.
"Here you go Lucy." Mira said as she set the smoothie in front of the spirit mage.
"Thanks Mira." Lucy responded taking a sip of the fruity beverage.
"So, I heard from Erza that Gildarts reinstated you back into the Guild." Lucy asked as she turned her attention back onto the lightning dragon slayer.
"You heard right, Blondie." Answered Laxus as he took a drink of his beer.
"You're blonde too, genius. Anyway, I'm glad your back." Lucy gave him a bright smile that totally took Laxus by surprise.
"Yo Luce!" Suddenly, everyone's favorite pink haired slayer Natsu showed up and thrusted a job request in her face. "Let's go on a job." Natsu said excitedly
"Alright. Lets go." Lucy smiled and handed the request to Mira to approve before getting up from her spot; after getting it approved, she once again turns toward Laxus.
"I'm glad your back, Laxus. I'll see you around." Said Lucy giving him a bright smile, then both she and natsu leave the Guild hall not noticing Laxus staring after the younger blond with wide eyes.
End flashback
"She welcomed me back so easily when she had the biggest reason to hate me." Laxus said before taking a drink of his beer.
"My sister believed that everyone deserves a second chance when they show that they want it, she passed that trait onto Lucy. When you showed up on the island it allowed her to see you wanted that second chance." Crave said
"I'm glad. It's because of Lucy, that everyone accepted me back a little easier." Laxus replied setting his beverage on the desk.
"So what's your plan now?" Asked Crave.
"I'm going to tell her how I feel for her, I want to be with her, I wanted to tell her earlier this morning after I kissed her but she ran away before I could say anything." Laxus replied while rubbing a hand over his face.
"Well, good luck with that." Crave said as he stood up, "But, remember this". Craves voice took on a dark tone and the atmosphere turned dark and foreboding. "I may not be a wizard, but, you do anything to hurt my niece, and I will find a way to get you, usually I'm not violent. But! When it comes to Lucy, I go crazy.!"
"I'll keep that in mind." Laxus said who sweat dropped.
"Good. I don't mean to be an ass, but, Lucy is the splitting image of her mother and my sister meant the world to me." Said Crave.
"You don't need to explain it to me. I'd probably be the same way." Laxus responded.
Crave smiled and patted laxus' shoulder then left the room.
"I wonder if Blondie's mother had a scary side as well." Laxus said to himself while shivering before taking a seat back at his desk to continue working on some paperwork.
Done with the man to man talk, sorry if this isn't a good of a chapter as my previous ones.
I wasn't too satisfied with this one but it'll have to do.
