Made for Him

Summary: "Lucy..." He groaned as he pressed into her, shoving her roughly against the wall. Her hands scraped for purchase, eyes squeezed shut as she tilted her head away from him, feeling the hardness press into her, "You can't run from fate." LaLu

"Of course Luce. You're like my little sister. I have to look out for you." A wide grin split his face and Natsu laughed, "You should have seen the look on his face when Gajeel threatened him at the guild. I've never seen Laxus so scared. And then when we brought up Scary Lucy-"

And just like that, Natsu was promptly thrown back into the canal while Lucy stormed into her apartment.

Chapter 11: No Touchie!

Lucy sipped her smoothie, enjoying the peace and quiet. Natsu had refused to approach her, claiming angry Lucy was just hiding so the she could ambush him, and while she enjoyed the silence, she also needed rent money. Her sighs drew the attention of the ever perceptive Mira and the silverette rushed over.

"Oh dear. What's that matter Lucy? You look stressed." Mira leant down on her bar, arms crossed under her.

"Well… Natsu won't come near me… And I really need to go on a job. My rent is due, and I haven't had the chance to get out of town to earn some cash." Again, the blonde sighed, mentally tallying how many times she had in the past hour before Mira's giggle broke her concentration.

"Silly Lucy. Why don't you just go on a solo mission?" Mira was answered by a squeal and a hug, the blonde woman grinning from ear to ear.

"Mira! You're amazing!" The blonde bolted from her seat towards the request board, eyes roaming over eat job carefully before she plucked one off the board and ran back to the bar, "This one Mira. I'm leaving right away."

Mira gazed over the request, her eyebrows furrowing only slightly before she smiled at Lucy, nodding her head, "No problem Lucy. I'll let the client know that you'll be there later tonight."

Lucy smiled back before she took off, leaving a faint trail of dust in her wake before the guild doors slammed behind her.

"Where's Luce going Mira?" The childlike voice drew her attention and Mira gave Natsu and Laxus an award-winning smile, avoiding the accusing stare of the blonde Guild Master that stood behind the pinkette.

The blonde narrowed his eyes at the Request ledger, noticing that Mira had opened the very specific ledger with requests he had told her not to allow any standard mage to take alone or without a strong mage going with them. He approached, like a predator stalking his prey, baring his teeth in a way that had even Mira sweating.

"What request…" He took a deep breath through his nose, staring down it at the silverette, "What request did you approve Mira?"

The barmaid just laughed, closing the book with a slam that had the whole guild go quiet. The tension was palpable, and she completely ignored it all, choosing instead to smile at him, "Nothing major. She can handle them by herself."

The bar suddenly cracked, Laxus' fist embedded in the wood, his lightning flaring.

"Mira…" The silverette looked down to see a nervous looking Wendy, "You really should tell him. They shouldn't be separated right now…"

The youngest dragon slayer offered no other explanation and Mira felt her resolve crumble, "Oh. You're just so cute!" Mira vaulted over the broken counter and tackled the bluenette in a young, "Alright. She went to handle that new dark guild that popped up in the next town over. The townsfolk put the money together. You know the one."

Laxus saw red, remembering the call the clients made, their words haunting him.

'Please you have to help us!' A group of older villagers sat in his office, "They're taking our daughters and bringing them back spoiled.'

Despite the strange way they said it, the insinuation was enough to have him on edge.

'They don't stop. They steal and destroy. Our lives will be ruined if they aren't dealt soon.' The elder of the village, an old woman that had been assisted into the room by him, cried a choked wail leaving her throat, "Our daughters fear to close their eyes. They… some of them are now with child…'

It was those words that had Laxus agreeing instantly, having written the job request form for Mira stating that no females should go without the company of men and by no means were any mage to take it on solo.

"You… you let her go on that job? The one I specifically told you not to let mages go solo on? To not let women go alone on?" His voice was deathly quiet, but Mira stood her ground, standing tall and glaring back at him.

"Are you saying you don't have faith in Lucy's abilities?" Mira whispered back, her own voice dripping venom. But Natsu didn't know when to leave well enough alone, jumping in between them.

"If Laxus is worried then we should all be worried. She could get hurt!" He pumped a hand in the air, Happy flying just out of reach of the trio.

"Yeah. We should follow her, just to make sure she's okay." Gray went to stand, Juvia close behind him when Mira turned on him, her eyes freezing him in his tracks.

"No one… No one is going after her. You should all be ashamed!" She crossed her arms, staring at Laxus and everyone from Team Natsu, "Lucy is strong, smart and reliable. She re-wrote the book of end for Mavis' sake! Have a little faith in her. Maybe if you all treated her with a little respect as a mage she wouldn't have needed me to tell her to take a solo mission!"

"But… we all care for her Mira. We can't just… leave her behind." Erza tried to defuse the situation, shame colouring her cheeks.

"There's no shame in letting someone we love grow. You don't need to shelter he all the time. I know for a fact that she hates it. She doesn't want you guys getting hurt for her. Especially you, Laxus. The fact that you've tried to hide her away lately… well I can't exactly tell you what she's told me. But you better make it up to her.

He didn't want to admit that she was right, but seeing the guilt on everyone's faces, he couldn't help but feel his own bubble to the surface, "We… I just wanted to make sure she was safe."

Mira approached him cautiously, laying a gentle hand on his arm, "She spent most of her life playing the role of a damsel in distress, having to listen to every whim of her father and trapped in her own home. The fact that she finally tasted freedom, and made something of herself… How do you think that makes her feel? That you guys are trying to bottle her up again?"

Laxus ground his teeth, the pain centering him and he locked eyes with Mira, "I… I get it." He visibly deflated, shoulders rounding in disappointment.

"I didn't say you did a bad thing. It just means you care… a little too much. But in any case, I won't let people go if they're going to help her. But if you want to see what she's capable of…"

Gray chuckled as Natsu hit the ground in shock, accidentally sending Erza's cake flying.

Laxus took the distraction to stormed from the guild, travelling in bursts of lightning. Knowing Lucy, she would have found a couch to get her to the town as quickly as possible. The town wasn't even that far awayMagnolia and he tried to restrain himself when he got close, taking to travelling by foot to make sure she wasn't alerted to his presence.

The sound of screams reached him, and he ran, skidding to a stop at the tree line, a clear view of the main road of the village before him.

A person dressed in black went flying, landing nearby, clearly unconscious.

"Run! Get away from here!" Lucy's voice was like music to his ears, the sheer determination and righteous justice making his blood race. Then her familiar blonde hair flashed, her dress fluttering around her as a flaring regulus struck another mage. He went sailing backwards, colliding with some of his guild mates before crashing into a building, "Oops."

She sent them a smirk and turned, catching one by the hand before flipping him with ease, slamming him head first into the ground.

"Does the Princess really think she can take us on?" A woman with shockingly yellow hair dropped down beside Lucy and tried to swipe at her, only for her arm to be caught.

"This Princess could take you on in her sleep." Lucy twisted, stretching her attackers arm and drawing a strangled scream from the woman. What she hadn't expected was the sudden light that blinded her. Something hit her side and she quickly connected with the closest building. Timber and stone fell around her, and Lucy groaned, holding her head tenderly.

Laxus punched the closest tree, not even feeling a little guilty as it shattered into tiny splinters. But he watched on, feeling his blood rush south as he watched her stand again. Blood dripped down the side of her head, staining her neck and collar bone red. But the sight of her dirty and clad in a ripped dress made him gasp in awe, his cheeks colouring as he took her in, "Beautiful…" *

Lucy shot out of the destroyed home, slamming into the woman with unforgiving force, "I take it you're the Master that they spoke about?" Despite the question, he knew Lucy didn't expect at answer and could only watch as she jumped up, powering up a punch.

"You bitch- "The woman was hit by a Regulus to the gut, barely losing her breath before she passed out.

"You… You took her out? Our Guild Master." The remaining, conscious members stared in a mix of awe and fear as Lucy dropped the woman before turning on them.

"She wasn't tough. And neither are you." Lucy glared at them, taking a threatening step forward, "Now shut up. Sit down! And wait to be arrested like good criminals."

The all nodded dumbly, taking a seat exactly were they were, even as the villagers started leaving their homes. Laxus recognised the elder woman approach Lucy and held his breath, his keen hearing picking up their words.

"My dear. Did you find him? The one-" The woman let out a sob and Lucy gave her an award winning smile, placing her hands on the older woman's shoulders.

"I found him. Your son is currently tied up and the woman are being tended to by my spirits. You can go see them if you'd like." An 'ah-ha' moment passed for him, realising that was the reason Lucy hadn't had her spirits fighting beside her, "Really. It wasn't hard. Considering their guild isn't even hidden made it that much better. You were wise not to approach them though. Unless you're a mage you may have gotten hurt."

"My son would never hurt me kind miss. But… his father was a horrible influence. There was nothing I could do." Lucy went to hug the woman before she took note of the blood on her and took to giving her a kiss on the cheek instead.

"It's quite alright. I understand." There was something underlying in her tone and it didn't sit well with him. But it was his desire that took the forefront of his mind as he watched Lucy walk towards him. His heart stuttered, thinking he'd been found too early, when he realised he was beside the man path out of the village, "The Knights are already dealing with the mages, so I'll be on my way."

"But Miss! What about your reward?" He could see Lucy wince before she called over her shoulder.

"I don't really need it. Use it to pick yourselves back up." With that the blonde woman continued walking and she walked by him, unblinking and oblivious to everything as she touched her head, "But I could do with some healing. I wonder if Wendy will still be at the guild by the time I get back…"

Her wondering was cut off when she heard a twig snap and she spun, only to be shoved roughly against a tree. A gasp left her, and she squirmed, stiffening when she heard a sniff. Opening her eyes, not realising she had closed them, she watched a familiar head of hair bend to her neck, taking a deep breath of her scent before a rumbling echoed through her ears.

"L-Laxus?" A blush rose on her face and she stiffened, craning her neck away from him, only to have the rumble grow louder. It was only when she realised that she had submitted to him that she started struggling again, "Laxus. Let me go."

"No." His voice was deep, guttural, and it sent her insides aflame. It stirred something it her that had her squirming for an entirely different reason, and he picked up on it, "I was so worried…"

She froze, straining to hear what he said.

"I was so scared you would get hurt… But I should have listened to Mira. I should have trusted you… I should have had the faith in your strength to do a job like this. But I…"

Her heart skipped a beat and she found herself smiling, wrapping her arms around him as far as they would go.

"Thank you." His concern for her warmed her in a way that was different to her team. Her heart was held by this mammoth of a man and while he had wronged her, he was trying. Lucy also couldn't deny the rightness that came from holding him.

His head nuzzled her neck, as if reassuring him that she was still with him and he took comfort in her presence, his earlier lust still simmering under the surface, but taking a back seat to peace he felt holding her. Even his inner dragon settled, purring in contentment as they stood there, allowing time to slip by.

It wasn't until she groaned that he pulled away to see how depressed she looked, tears pooling in the corners of her eyes, "I still haven't got the money for my rent…"
