Chapter 9: Acceptance

General P.O.V.

Everyone's sitting around Gajeel's bed in the informary. Lucy, Laxus, Erik, Master Makarov and Wendy. Wendy's hands are hovering above Gajeel's wounds while glowing a soft blue. Part of Gajeel's schoulder was badly burned from Laxus' lightning. Lucy is looking down at him with a worried frown on her face and Master is glaring at Laxus.
"Care to explain why you attacked Gajeel?"
Laxus turns his gaze to his grandfather and growls. "Because he's a filthy liar. He says that all three can work things out, yet he only cares about keeping her to himself."
"That's not what he's doing at all. If you would've just waited then you also would've gotten a kiss. But no, you just had to go up and attack him for no damn reason." Lucy shakes her head slowly. "Gajeel has absolutely no problem in sharing me with you, he accepted this situation. You just haven't."
"Bright eyes is right. Both of them have accepted it, they were waiting for you to join them but you never did."
Laxus' eyes widen and he drops his head in shame. 'I'm such an idiot!'
"I won't argue with you on that."
'Fuck you, Poison Breath.'
Erik sighs and shakes his head as well. Lucy's mind pulls his attention. Many possible scenario's are flashing through her mind, when suddenly an image of her with both marks appears. 'That's it!'

"If I get marked by both of them, will things go better?"
Everyone seems to think about Lucy's question in silence. Wendy nods slowly and looks to Erik for confirmation, who in return nods at the small bluenette.
"It could work. But only if both are completely commited to it." Those last words were directed straight at Laxus. The tall blonde tenses and looks up, only to see all eyes fixed on him. He nods slowly and his mood brightens slightly when Lucy sends him a gentle smile.
"Well then, we'll let the three of you discuss this. Gajeel should wake up soon anyway." Wendy gets up from her seat and moves towards the door to leave, followed by Master who sends another glare at Laxus. Erik sighs and gets up, before hugging the small blonde.
"I'm just going to say this one last time before I punch you in the face. Figure your shit out. If I ever see my little sister in pain because of you, it will most definitely be your last day on this earth." He relaxes a bit whenhe feels Lucy smiling. "Good luck, Lu." He takes a step back before leaving the infirmary so he can, without a dubt, look for his own mate.

"I'm sorry, Lucy. I shouldn't have acted like a spoiled, jealous brat. And I shouldn't have attacked him either." Laxus stands up and walks up to her. He opens his harms with a hopeful look on his face. Lucy just smiles and stands up to accept his gesture and hugs him.
"Thank you, Laxus. This apology means a lot. Will you truly be okay with this whole love triangle thing?"
"I'll just have to adapt myself to the situation. I've never really shared anything. Or anyone, in this case." He chuckles softly and lays his head down on top of hers.
"It will be fine, Laxus. We will figure this out, all three of us. We will make it work." She pulls back a little to look up at his face and smiles, before reaching up a hand to cup his cheek. Her thumb brushing softly over the bottom of his lightning shaped scar. He leans down and brushes his lips slowly across hers. She smiles and wraps her arms around his neck to pulls him into her body completely while smashing her lips on his. He groans against her lips and quickly licks her bottom lip. Lucy opens her mouth with a gasp and feels Laxus' tongue sliding against hers. A shiver crawls up her spine and she leans further into his embrace. Laxus slides his hands down her body and lift her up, Lucy quickly wraps her legs around his waist and smiles against his lip. He moves back to the chair and sits down it, with Lucy in his lap.

She wraps her arms tighter around his neck and grinds her hips into his. His deep groan sends chills up her entire body and she leans further into him.
Seconds, wich feel like an eternity, later they break for air. Both notice a figure moving in the corner of their eye and when they turn their heads at the same time, a smirking Gajeel meets their gaze.
Immediately Lucy's face turns beet red.
"Well this is quite a spectacle to see when you wake up."
If possible, Lucy's face turns into an even brighter shade of red.
"You jealous, Black Steel?"
"Hell no, I could get Bunny whenever and where ever I'd want." Gajeel winks at the small blonde, whom in return licks her lips seductively. As if to prove his point, Lucy stands up from Laxus' lap and walks over to the other slayer. She jumps on his bed and gets herself comfortable next to him.

Gajeels slides his hand to her cheek and turns her face towards him. Lucy smiles at him before leaning in and brushing her lips against his own. Gajeel smirks again before diving at her and smashing his lips against hers. The act making her moan softly. His tongue sweeps across her bottom lip and once again she opens her mouth for her mate. Their tongues dance against one another, while her hands slide against his clothed chest. Laxus clearing his throat break the two lovers apart.

"Maybe we should take this somewhere else. The guilds infirmary might not be so… soundproof."
Lucy giggles softly before nodding her head in agreement, before looking up at Laxus. "Take us home, please."
