Alessia POV

I woke up to the smell of bacon. A little confused, I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. I saw Laxus in boxers and a t-shirt cooking breakfast, and blushed a little at what he was wearing. Then I mentally slapped myself. I can't like this big oaf that calls everyone weak. He's an asshat that is really rude.

I stepped into the kitchen, and got some plates and glasses out. I set them on the counter beside Laxus, and began to get out silverware. Laxus served our breakfast and brought it to the table. All of this was done in silence. We sat down, and began to eat. I was going to have to tell him and the guild today.

I cleared my throat, and said

"Good morning, Dwarf."

"Morning." He grunted.

"Hey, you know what I've been wondering?"

"Huh?"

"Why do you call me Pixie?"

"Because you're so girly and tiny."

"WHAT? I am not girly and tiny!" I spluttered.

"To me you are tiny. Plus you've got pixie features." He teased. "You've got really long silver hair, silver eyes that are really big with long eyelashes, you're delicately shaped, and your voice is like a bell. It's perfect. Unlike your nickname for me." He replied wryly. I smirked at his hatred for the name Dwarf, and said

"Fine. You can call me Pixie." I sneered. Oh yeah, I have to tell him I'm leaving today.

"Um Laxus?" I asked.

"What, Pixie?" He smirked.

"I'm leaving today." I stated really quickly.

"WHAT?" He yelled. "What do you mean leaving?"

"I have to go back to the Dragon Realm today at noon." I answered nervously.

"Are you going to come back?" He asked softly. My insides warmed at how much he cared.

"Of course!" I exclaimed. "Don't think you're getting rid of me so easily!" I teased him. He sighed in relief, then to my surprise, stood up and gave me a hug.

"We're all going to miss you Alessia." He told me seriously. My heart grew a couple sizes, and I hugged him back.

"That's nice to know. I'll be back in two weeks." I told him.

"Good." Was his only reply.

He thanked me for breakfast and left. I went back to my room, and changed into my "tough girl" outfit. I was wearing form-fitting, black leather pants, my combat boots with silver scale designs on them, a blood red tank top that was very tight, and a black leather jacket. I left my hair down, and put on thick black eyeliner. I painted my lips crimson, and to complete the look, some spiky bracelets.

I wore this stuff because, first of all, it made Draco really mad, and second of all because it made me feel less like the weak human in a room full of giant dragons. Although, it's always fun wearing it too.

I strolled out of my house after I packed my bag for the trip. I called Virgo and asked her to keep it in the Spirit Realm with her until I needed it. It's never the best idea to travel through portals with belongings. I walked towards the guild, a little sad because I would be leaving them for so long. I pushed open the door and traipsed to the bar. Mira blanched in my direction, not recognizing me at first. When she did recognize me, she ran over shrieking

"Alessia what are you WEARING?" I just laughed at her.

"Where's Master?" I asked her.

"In his office. Why?"

"You'll see."

I strolled into Master's office, and told him

"Master, I'm leaving for two weeks."

"Alessia, is that you?" He asked.

"Yeah."

"Why are you leaving us?"

"I came to the human world on a quest from the my father, the Dragon King, Draco." I replied. "I need to go back and visit my friends and also give Draco my progress. Then I'll be back here for a lot longer."

"What is this quest?" He asked me.

"It's classified." I stated seriously. "I just wanted to tell you I was leaving."

"Two weeks right?" He verified. I nodded. "Aw, that means you'll miss the Fantasia Festival."

"I'll try to get back earlier, but I'm not sure how long the council will keep me." I told Master Makarov goodbye, then went downstairs to say goodbye to my friends. It was 11:30, so I had half an hour.

Lucy was downstairs, and I saw her summon Loke. Loke saw me, and recognized my outfit.

"They're making you go back already, Alessia?" He questioned.

"Yup, I leave at noon." I told him. Then, I turned to Lucy.

"Lucy, I cannot thank you enough for what you did for Loke. The Spirit King wouldn't listen to me, because he knew that I would defend Loke no matter what. It probably opened his eyes to have someone who just met Loke stand up for him. Thank you." I ran forward and hugged her hard.

"You know, Alessia, I've been wondering. What is Loke to you?" I saw my friends ears perk up around us. I smiled at her and pulled out Loke's key.

"He's my unofficial brother." I answered. Loke just smirked at our guild-mates shocked expressions.

"Yup. Allie is my baby sis, so none of you better hurt her." He threatened directing his gaze to the boys. They all shrank back, and looked closely at me. Then they realized what I was wearing.

I laughed as everyone yelled

"WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?" At that moment, Laxus walked into the guild. He walked over to our group as I explained that this was my Dragon Realm outfit. He joined us, and smirked at me.

"What are you smirking at?" I asked him mentally.

"You look very attractive right now." He replied, laughing as I blushed. I smacked him on the chest, and then looked to my guild mates.

"You guys, I'm leaving soon." I told them. They all broke out yelling at me. I tried to tell them why, but they wouldn't shut up. Laxus saw my irritation, and then boomed

"EVERYONE SHUT UP."

They all immediately stopped talking and I told them why I was leaving. They all told me they would miss me, and hugged me goodbye. I noticed Laxus tensing as I hugged Gray, Natsu, and some of the other boys, but I ignored it and walked out of the guild.

I began my trek to where I entered Fiore. Suddenly, I felt a large hand on my shoulder. I glanced up to see Laxus gazing down at me. I blushed at his intense stare, and continued walking. He followed me all the way to the center of the forest, and then when I stopped, said

"Pixie."

"What?"

"Before you go, I wanted to tell you that I think you are a really strong mage, and thanks for helping me realize that I'm not as amazing as I thought I was." He pulled me into a hug, and finished his statement.

"Also, I wanted to ask you if, when you come back, you would be my girlfriend. You bring out a side of me that I didn't know I had. A protective one. I used to think that if someone needed protecting, they were weak, but now I realize that it just means they are cared for. You've also helped me realize that being an ass to all of them guild member is not going to help me inherit the guild. You've changed me for the better, Alessia."

My eyes widened at what he said. Did he mean... I felt my heart flutter, and I blushed. I opened my mouth to reply, when a bright light appeared and pulled me into the Dragon Realm.

Laxus POV

(Half an hour earlier)

I walked into the guild and saw a large group. In that group, I saw Alessia. She was wearing some outfit that made her look badass and hot. My heart rate sped up, and I jumped as I heard her beautiful voice in my head. Wait, beautiful?

She asked me what I was smirking at, and I told her something along the lines of "You look hot." I don't even know what I was saying. I watched as she said her goodbyes, and grinned. I'm glad the girl that grew up alone, has a huge family that loves her now. I tensed as she hugged all the men. She can't do that! She's mine.

What? Where did that thought come from. I pondered my reaction, and realized that she was gone. I cursed myself, and ran out of the guild. I found her about to enter the forest, and caught up to her quickly. Without knowing what I was doing, I put my hand on her tiny shoulder. She may look tough in that outfit of hers, but in reality, she is so small.

I felt worried about her, and thought about the feelings she had been bringing out in me recently. I hate seeing her hurt, and I'm getting jealous of her hugging other guys. She brings out the gentle side of me that I didn't know I have, and I want to protect her from everything that could possibly hurt her. Even if she doesn't need it. I felt like my heart was breaking when she said she was leaving. Was she my mate?

Shit. This girl is making me fall in love with her. As I came to that conclusion, Alessia stopped walking. I glanced at our surroundings, and saw that we were in a large clearing. I looked at her beautiful face. Yes she is beautiful, and I am going to stop hiding from my feelings. Alessia brings out the best side of me, and I want her to know before she leaves.

"Pixie." I started.

"What?" She replied, cocking her head cutely at me.

"Before you go, I wanted to tell you that I think you are a really strong mage, and thanks for helping me realize that I'm not as amazing as I thought I was." I stated. Feeling embarrassed, I hugged her delicate body to me so she couldn't see my face.

"Also, I wanted to ask you if, when you come back, you would be my girlfriend. I used to think that if someone needed protecting, they were weak, but now I realize that it means they are cared for. You've also helped me realize that being an ass to all of them guild member is not going to help me inherit the guild. You've changed me for the better, Alessia." I finished, blushing a little. My heart was beating out of control in my chest as I waited for her answer. I pulled back so I could see her face. I waited in anticipation as she opened her mouth to reply.

Then, a brilliant light erupted around Alessia. I screwed my eyes shut in pain, and when I opened them, she was gone.

LAXUS CONFESSED! Heh, this chapter made me happy, and it was pretty fluffy. I don't think he should be in love with her and vice versa yet, but I definitely want him to begin acknowledging his feelings! Please review, and if you do; you're as awesome as Prussia xD
