Chapter 10: The Life
-Lucy's POV-
It had been about a week since the Fantasia Parade and all was going well. The Raijinshū were starting to open up to everybody. Even Laxus had became more open which made me real happy. Bixlow kept asking me questions about how I found out that Loki was a spirit. Evergreen was modeling for Redus. And Freed was fawning over Laxus being happy that he stayed. You could tell Laxus was getting a little annoyed by it. It had been a week and me and Laxus had yet to have any true alone time. I wanted to do something together just the two of us. I wanted..
"Hey Lucy."
I looked up to see Laxus. I watched him as he sat beside me at the bar. He looked a little flustered…or frustrated. Heck I don't know. I placed my arm on his shoulders and he looked at me and we gazed at each other for a few seconds.
"Are you okay Laxus?"
"Yes I'm fine I was just thinking."
"About wha.."
"Lucy do you wanna hang out tonight? Just the two of us. Maybe we could watch a movie at your place or something."
These words were like music to my ears. I gave him a quick hug and he told me he would be at my place in two hours. I left the guild and made my way back home.
-Laxus POV-
I could tell I really made her day whenever I asked her that. I was really looking forward to spending time with her. She was having my baby and I barely knew anything about her. That was gonna change. I got up and walked about of the guild about thirty minutes after she did. I decided I was going to buy her something. It wasn't too soon after that I found myself standing in front of a flower shop.
-Lucy's POV-
I had been home for a little while pacing back and forth in my living room trying to decided what to do. I mean all he said he wanted to do was watch movies but…I DON'T KNOW! I started panicking inside. I had to admit I was extremely nervous. I then fell to the floor in pain. I placed my hand on my stomach. 'Ow.' I got up and walked over to my kitchen. I would fix him dinner. Just something small and simple. I started cooking and then came across a big realization. It had been forever since I had cooked for anybody. I really hoped Laxus would like this. I put a lot of thought into it.
-Time Skip (an hour later)-
I had just finished up getting things ready and I heard a knock on the door. A big smile appeared on my face as I walked towards the door. I opened the door and there he stood with flowers….
"Here Lucy. These are for you. I hope you like them."
They were a mix of pink and red roses. My eyes lit up at what the man was handing me. I gave him a quick peck on the cheeks showing him that I was grateful and turned sideways motioning for him to come inside. He walked in and looked around.
"This is a pretty cute place you got here Lucy."
"Thank you. Now come here."
I grabbed his wrist and led him into the kitchen. After we got there I turned to look at him and laughed a little after I seen his jaw drop. Me and him both sat down and began to eat what I prepared. I had fixed spaghetti. All of a sudden the Lady and the Tramp popped in my head. I quicky hid the blush that sprung across my face. I think he noticed before I did because he just laughed.
"Don't laugh at me!"
This just made him laugh even more. I punched him in the shoulder. He quickly grabbed me and started tickling me. I kept telling him to stop and he didn't. I fell in the floor. He just laughed and picked me up and placed me on my feet.
"Laxus? What movie did you wanna watch?"
"I was thinking something scary and terrifying."
"Figures you would say that."
-Laxus POV-
"Figures you would say that."
I just looked at her as she slowly started to slink down against the wall. I laughed a little and caught her before she hit the floor. I walked her over to the couch and sat down and put in a movie.
"Laxus do we really have to watch a scary movie. I don't like them."
"What would you rather do Lucy. This is the only movie I brought."
I just looked at her and I could see that she wasn't lying when she said she didn't like scary moves. She had a hint of terror in her eyes.
"Lucy…"
She looked at me and gave me a faint smile. I caressed her cheek with my hand and then slowly cupped her face in my hands and leaned in for a kiss. I closed my eyes as the gap between our faces closed. The kiss started out slow then became more passionate as time went on. I licked her lips with my tongue then she slowly parted them giving my tongue entrance. Our tongues danced around with each other for what seemed like forever. I slowly pulled away and we both opened our eyes at the same time looking at each other. I placed my hand behind her head and lowered her into my chest. It was there in my arms that she fell asleep. I slowly carried her bridal style into her bedroom and laid her on the bed and left without making a sound.
-Lucy's POV-
The next morning I woke to sun shining in my eyes. I flipped my legs off of the bed and looked around. 'Where's Laxus?' He was nowhere to be found. I thought that maybe he had went to the guild so I got dressed and left. Last night kept replaying over and over in my head. That was nothing like the first time we kissed. Then his kiss was full of lust and hatred, but now it was full of passion and wanting. After arriving to the guild I looked around for him. He wasn't here either. I walked up to Mira.
"Mira have you seen…"
"Laxus? He's talking with the master right now."
Worry suddenly came over me and I didn't know why. 'Why did Laxus need to talk to the master? Was something wrong?' Thoughts like these traveled through my mind as I waited for Laxus to come from behind the closed doors.
