I slept by myself last night. For the first time since I had joined Fairy Tail. Laxus seemed a bit upset when I told him. I wonder what was going through his head.

-Flashback Starts-

I sat on the floor with my back against the wall; with Bickslow sitting at the table across from till the sun went down. Once the sun went down I walked to a bedroom Bickslow followed me to the room before standing outside it. I curled up in the bed. Pulling the blanket over me. After a moment I heard mumbling then Laxus walked into the room. He walked to the bed, reaching his hand out. I flinched away from him; closing my eyes.

"What happened today Shay…"

"Nothing…I want to sleep alone."

"W-what?" His voice seemed surprised. Like he didn't believe me.

"Please leave the room…" I said, looking away. I didn't want to see the hurt expression he would have. I saw him nod out of the corner of my eye before he left. I heard more mumbling outside before I got quiet again. A moment later there was a loud slam against a wall. I stayed there all night alone. Something that I didn't enjoy any longer. Yet, I couldn't stand the thought of being touched by his loving hand after someone else had touched me.

-Flashback ends-

I got up and walked out of the room. Seeing Freed fast asleep outside the door. I gave a small giggle before walking past him. Doing my best no to wake him. I went to the shower and tried to wash away the feel I had. Though now, it just seemed impossible. I jumped when I felt a hand on my back.

Turned to see Laxus standing in the shower with me. I felt uneasy about it. Suddenly he took my hands and held them as he pushed me into the wall. His hands held mine over my head. I wanted to scream, but I knew he wouldn't hurt me. I watched him as his eyes looked me over.

He was studying me, as if my body would tell him something I wasn't. I tried to avoid his stare the best I could, feeling uneasy about it. Then after a long moment or two he said something.

"How did he hurt you…" His fingertips slowly slid down my arms, to my sides, rubbing my hips. I let out a gentle moan. Looking into his eyes.

"Laxus please…"

"No, tell me…what did he do that hurt you so bad…I can't stand to see you like this…" He said, I let my hands slide down the wall before running my fingers in his wet hair.

"Please Laxus…show me how much you love me…" I said, trying to keep my voice from shaking. He pushed against me, letting his hands rub my hips more. He looked into my eyes before kissing my lips. I pushed into his lips, using every emotion I was feeling. He must have noticed because after he pulled back he kissed my neck. I could feel my tears appearing.

Only because, Lucian was the last one to leave his mark on me. I could hear a growl come from Laxus as he kissed over the dark mark on my neck. Knowing he didn't leave it. I wanted to cry knowing that he was upset; but instead I balled up my fist in his hair. A moan slipped out from between his mouth and my neck.

"Laxus…" I said, unable to form anything else. He seemed to understand that, because he moved a bit and kissed my neck again. Lifting me off the floor. Pushing my back against the cool tilts of the shower. I shivered, pushing into his warm chest. My fingers tugging on his hair softly from time to time. Telling him to find somewhere else to kiss.

By the time we seemed to finish our shower. I looked over myself in the mirror over the sink. To find purple marks forming on my neck and collar bone. I blush seeing how many there were. I turned and hit his chest.

"Laxus! Someone is going to see these! I can't hide them all! How could you!" I said looking away shyly. He came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my stomach. Resting his chin on my shoulder.

"You were the one that was pulling my hair. You shouldn't tease me so much." He said kissing my shoulder. I could feel the suction start again, and I grabbed his hair and tugged on it. Hearing a different kind of growl come from him.

"Stop it Laxus, you'll leave more!"

"That's the point." He said before letting me leave. I got dressed, using his shirt as mine. Instead of using my own. The rest of the day seemed to pass by without anything happening. Not that Laxus allowed me to be anywhere alone today. Whither he had Bickslow following me around or Evergreen taking me to use the bathroom.

I wasn't allowed to go or do anything by myself. I hated it but, I understood why he wanted me to have someone. As much as it bothered me not to be alone. I was happy to have someone care so much about me to do something crazy like that. It reminded me of how Juvia was with Gray. I wasn't surprised, that until we left a few days later. He had someone with me all day.

He even refused to leave me when I showered. He would join me and shower when I did. It made me a bit angry to have him join me all the time in the shower. Yet it was nice to have his company, until he would start kissing me. Leaving new marks on me. Something Freed noticed the first day.

After I tried to tell him it wasn't what he thought. Laxus said that I had his shirt on because he marked me up too much. That none of my shirts would hide his marks. I left them to talk like I was a prize.
