HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA LOVELIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS,
How's it going ma Homies? Good? Bad? Well, my day has been terrible! I dropped my laptop and it's broken. I had to write the next two chapters all over again. I was heartbroken when I couldn't start it again.
But that my laptop broke means that I won't be able to update as soon as I want. Because I still need to write my chapters and the common computer is often occupied by my dad and mom (Even when they have their own MADAF-ING MACBOOKS! They say they don't like to write work on it and when I ask if I can borrow their laptop they say no!)
Anyway, so just so that you know. I won't be able to update soon. Maybe I can borrow my brother's laptop, but I don't know.
I was however able to upload this chappie
Warning:
I do not own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does.
Characters might be a little OOC.
NOOOOO LAPTOP WHYYYYYYYY?
Please enjoy chapter 12 :D
Laxus' Pov:
Lucy was impatiently tapping her foot waiting for an explanation, while my team was trying very hard not to burst into laughter. I scratched the back of my head and tried my best not to seem nervous, which wasn't really working out.
Normally I could keep my cool, but being around Lucy made me feel really nervous about everything I was doing. Not in a bad way, but in a way like I didn't want to screw up with her. So maybe undressing her in her sleep wasn't the best way to do that, even though it was to help her.
She was still staring at me with a deathly glare that would put even Titania and the She-Demon to shame. I looked around and at my team pleading for help. But those traitors just snickered and shook their heads.
Traitors I mouthed to them, which just resulted into them having an even harder time containing their laughter.
"Well?!", she asked seeing her question was being ignored.
"OKAY! I might have, but you just looked cold and I didn't want you to catch a cold.", I exclaimed adding the last part as fast as I could so that she wouldn't pound me.
She pounded her fist on my head, making me clutch my head in pain. Then her posture relaxed and she put her fist down, "Oh, if that's all you did than you could have just said that." she said nonchalantly as she walked off.
I felt like falling to the floor. Did she seriously just say that! That chick was bipolar! My team finally couldn't hold it anymore and burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs and pounding their fists on their knees. I closed my gawking mouth and send them a glare, which they understood as 'Shut up or I WILL fry you!'
"Come on you guys, train's here!" Lucy called from the platform.
I shook my head out of my daze and signed my team to get up.
We all stood up and followed her. We got a compartment for the five of us and Freed put up the runes for my motion sickness. I sat at the window with Lucy in the middle and Freed on her left, while Bixlow and Evergreen sat opposite to us.
Lucy and Freed had already started talking about some books of some kinds and Ever and Bix had already started arguing. I was glad that Lucy was already making friends with Freed. Freed was not one to bond with people very fast, and seeing them already having a good and filled conversation was comforting to see.
The train started to move and I put my sound pods on. Everyone seemed content with how it was happening so I didn't bother to disturb their conversations. Before I turned my music on, I also couldn't help but notice how much more lively it was. Everyone seemed so relaxed, including myself.
Lucy's Pov:
I chatted with Freed a little more about books until Evergreen put a hand on my knee.
"So Lucy what do you think about the strongest team of Fairy Tail yet." she asked with a glint of pride in her eyes.
I giggled and nodded, "I have to say, when I first came to Fairy Tail I thought you guys were all serious and silent. But here now I realize you guys are a lot fun."
They all gave me a sincere heart filled smile. "Yea, people often think that. But you can't blame them; we are sort of distant compared to others." Bixlow grinned while his 'babies' chimed "Others Others!"
"Well I have to say, I am very glad that we asked you to join. It is very pleasant to have someone with a little class and knowledge about literature." Freed said with an indirect insult.
"And another girl who doesn't act like pig." Evergreen said with a glare at Bixlow.
"And with a hot body!" Bixlow said sticking out his tongue.
I sweat dropped at Bixlow's comment, but still couldn't help the big smile that made its way to my face. They were all so different from what I expected, they were kind, funny and most of all caring.
I laughed as Evergreen swatted Bixlow with her fan at the body comment and Freed huffed at their lack of class. I brushed my hands over my keys and felt so content. I could feel the keys of my spirits jingle as a message that they were happy too.
I looked to my right and saw that Laxus was in his own world listening to his music. I also couldn't believe how different Laxus was from what I expected. He had already taken a lot of care for me in the small week we had been together. I couldn't help but feel flustered as I thought back at our conversation last night. He seemed to really care about my feelings.
I was still hurt about everything, off course. But I had to admit that my pain was washed away quite fast when Laxus had held me in his arms. I had been preparing for what had happened with Natsu for quite a while now, and it hurt. But not as bad as I expected.
Evergreen broke my train of thoughts as she suddenly jumped up, "Oh My Mavis Lucy, we HAVE to go shopping together after the mission. I never had a lot of girlfriends, but with one on our team we can do all the shopping we want." she exclaimed already having stars in her eyes at the thought.
Freed and Bixlow groaned at the thought of having to probably follow us around the shopping centre.
I giggled, "I would really love that Evergreen! And come on boys, it's not that bad. You can also shop for yourself." I said nudging Freed's arm.
They both groaned again in response and made a scrunching facial expression. Me and Evergreen laughed and started talking about the latest fashions, while the boys slumped in their seats, brain fried by all the girl talk we were having.
The rest of the train ride went smoothly with Laxus sleeping and me and my team talking about random stuff. When we arrived at the train station the Rajinshuu suddenly became very silent.
"What's wrong you guys?" I asked in confusion.
They all gulped and pointed towards the sleeping Laxus. "We have to wake up Laxus." they said in unison.
I quirked an eyebrow, "Okay?... I'll do that then." I was just about to nudge Laxus when I got lifted by the waist and pulled back against Bixlow's chest.
He covered my mouth with his hand and hissed, "Are you mad?! You just came to the team. We don't want you dead just yet."
I pried his hand off my mouth and looked at them, "I was able to wake him up without getting killed this morning, so I should be able to know too right?"
They gave me a nervous glance and slowly nodded for me to go on. I got up next to Laxus and put my lips against his ear. I stole a glance at the team and motioned to them that it was okay.
"Laxuuuus~", I whispered into his ear, to which he grunted. I smirked and took a deep breath and blew as hard as I could in his ear.
The Rajinshuu comically turned to stone and gawked. I jumped back as Laxus awoke with a jerk.
"What the hell Blondie! Twice in one day is not cool!" he roared at me pointing his finger at my face.
"Yea, well we had to wake you and I couldn't think of another way." I shrugged.
Laxus glared and rubbed his ear as the Rajinshuu recovered from their shock and sweat dropped.
"Well, let's get off the train then." Freed said still a little shocked.
I nodded and half-skipped off of the train. I saw the Rajinshuu collect their bags and walk after me. 'Oh yea!' thought. I forgot the Rajinshuu still had their bags.
"Hey guys do you want me to store your bags so you don't have to carry them." I asked as they joined me on the platform.
"No offense Blondie put I don't think you can carry them." Laxus said stretching.
"I didn't say carry, I said store." I huffed back. They shrugged and nodded, not exactly knowing what I was going to do.
"Open gate of the maiden, Virgo!" I called and in a flash of pink smoke my loyal spirit stood in front of me.
"Punishment Princess?" she bowed.
"Ha-ha! What? Punishment?", Bixlow laughed.
"No, no punishment Virgo, but could you store their bags in the spirit world?", I asked ignoring the punishment comment.
"Of course Princess." she said taking Laxus and the Rajinshuu's bags.
"Thank you Virgo, you may go now.", I said waving her goodbye. She bowed and disappeared in another cloud of pink smoke.
"You punish her?", Laxus said glancing at me.
I sweat dropped, "No, she just always asks that."
They gave me a shrug and continued walking. Evergreen linked her arm in mine and practically started skipping. I giggled and quickened my step to keep up with her.
"Sooooo~, how are you and Elfman doing?", I asked while wiggling my eyebrows.
She visible flinched and nervously laughed, " Wha-What do you mean Luce? I really wouldn't know what you're talking about.", she said waving her hand.
"Oh~ Come on I saw you guys together. I personally think you guys look very cute together.", I said looking up at the sky.
"You-You really think so?", she said pushing her fingertips together.
I hummed in response and gave her a smile. She began to beam and gave me a bone crushing hug while she comically began to cry.
"Thank you so much Lucy. It feels so good to have another girl here.", she said letting go. She also muttered something about not having smelly pigs next to her and fanned herself.
"Yo, are you done with the sentimental moment yet? We are at the clients house.", Bixlow called.
Evergreen huffed and dragged me to where they stood. The client was a middle aged perverted man that, not so subtly, tried to grope me and Evergreen constantly. He told us that there was a snow wyvern up in the mountains and that we had to defeat it. It seemed simple enough, but apparently there were a lot of avalanche warnings lately.
This could be a big problem because that meant that Laxus and Bixlow would have a hard time using their magic.
We all decided that we would camp in the forest since it was faster and less expensive. We headed out and at nightfall came to the foot of the mountain and put up camp. Me and Ever had a tent, Freed and Bix together and Laxus had one on his own.
Me and Ever were in charge of cooking so we sat by the campfire chatting and checking the stew now and then.
"Shouldn't Bixlow and Freed already be back with firewood?", I asked after they had gone for almost a half an hour.
"They probably found a lake or something and decided to take a bath first. They do that a lot.", Evergreen said while swatting a bug away with her fan.
I nodded and looked around. We had found quite a nice spot, it was a clearing with several trees and bushes surrounding it and it wasn't too cold. I hummed a song as I stirred stew. I felt someone stare at me and looked around, but there was only Laxus behind me who had his eyes closed and Evergreen that was swatting all living with her fan.
I shrugged and continued to hum my song.
Laxus' Pov:
I opened my eyes again and mentally sighed in relief that she didn't catch me staring. I was intrigued by her, I didn't even actually notice that I had been staring at her. I just automatically did.
I admired her long slender arms, her golden hair, her perfect round butt (which made my mouth a bit dry) and listened at her soft humming. I remembered how she felt in my arms when I ran after her last night. Her small soft body fitted so perfectly in my ruff strong arms.
I did not want to admit it, but I was falling for her. I wanted her to be mine and ONLY mine. I remembered how my heart had shattered seeing her crying about that stupid salamander.
But I tried my best to push these feeling aside, because there was no way she was going to like me too. She was five years younger and we had only just become friends. I did not want to ruin that friendship because of my own selfish desires.
I sighed and turned away. I started thinking about the mission. It was a real bother that I could probably not be able to use my magic. Bixlow also couldn't and Evergreen would also have a tough time with some of her spells. I just hoped nothing bad would happen.
I heard rustling in the bush, but didn't bother because I could smell Freed's expensive men's cologne.
"Laxus-sama, we have the fire wood~", he sang as he twirled towards me.
"Good give it to the girls so that they can hurry up. I'm starving.", I said with my eyes closed.
I felt someone smack the back of my head, "If you're hungry you could have helped lazy!", I heard Lucy yell.
I turned and glared at her, "You're the woman so you should cook." (AN: I know I know, feminism is not happy with me right now!)
We carried on bickering while my team sweat dropped in the background. I was surprised that Lucy had not only swatted me, but also was able to hold a proper argument with me. People would often give up at my first glare or comment. Lucy however kept holding up and even had some really good counterarguments.
She huffed and stomped away to check on the stew. I smirked and sat back on the log. Freed walked up to me and sat beside me.
He snickered, "I'm surprised Laxus-sama, you didn't even shock her once. It seems that you have quite a big soft spot for her."
I whipped my head around to yell and shock him, but he had already stood up and was now sitting next to Bixlow at the fire.
Lucy's Pov:
After eating we all put our pajamas on and went to our tents. I had a simple black T-shirt and dark blue shorts and Evergreen was wearing a green nightgown. Me and Ever stepped into our sleeping bags and snuggled next to each other.
My eyes started drooping and Evergreen also seemed to be falling asleep.
"You know Lucy?", Evergreen whispered. I hummed.
"I know I said it before, but you really did make everyone so much more relaxed. Even Laxus.", she whispered before falling asleep.
I smiled, I was happy I could make them feel relaxed. But I seemed most happy about the fact that I had made Laxus happy.
The next morning I awoke by the sound of pots clattering. I opened my eyes and saw that somewhere during the night, Evergreen had managed to completely tangle around me. I softly nudged her.
"Ever wake up its morning.", I said.
She groaned and snuggled closer. I giggled and nudged her a bit harder.
"Come on Ever otherwise we don't have time to pick clothes that look nice together.", I teased. That seemed to do the trick, because she opened her eyes and scrambled to sit up.
I chose to wear a pair of grey skinny jeans and a dark red tight jumper. I put on a pair of white boot socks and my brown combat boots and a black lab style coat with fur. I was nice and toasty and I stepped out of the tent.
Evergreen shortly followed in a pair of dark green skinny jeans and a white turtle neck. Over the turtle neck she had a grey, wool, fur lined body warmer and a pair of black boots. I walked over to the fire and seated myself next to Laxus.
"Good morning Bix.", I yawned.
"Good morning Cosplayer. How did you sleep?", he said handing me a bowl of cereal.
"Good and I already told you I'm not a Cosplayer!", I huffed.
He laughed and continued to eat his breakfast. After a while Laxus and Freed also joined us and we ate in comfortable silence.
After we packed our camp and Virgo took our bags we started to hike up the mountain. It was terrible cold and there was a strong wind. The boys were doing quite okay, but me and Ever were shivering even though we were wearing warm clothes.
"I have had enough of the cold! Open gate of the clock, Horologium.", I called out.
"Hello Miss Lucy, how can I help you today?", he asked appearing in a puff of smoke.
"Hello Horologium, could you carry me and Ever until your time is up?", I asked.
"Of course Miss Lucy, I would be delighted to carry you and your friend. I also have some blankets inside of me.", he said opening his door.
I pulled Ever inside who first hesitated, but followed me anyway. When we were inside she immediately cheered up because of the warmth.
"Aaaah~ It's really nice and warm in here", she sighed while rapping a blanket around both of us.
I nodded and we both snuggled against each other.
Laxus' Pov:
I looked at Lucy and Ever who were inside the….. Clock thing. Blondie had some weird, but at the same time handy, spirits.
We walked for about an hour or two until we reached a cave.
"Hey Blondie, Ever I think we're here!", I shout at the two in the clock.
"Okay were coming out, she says", the clock answered back. In a puff of smoke Blondie and Ever are standing in the snow.
"Geez it's so cold!", Lucy exclaimed shivering. I rolled my eyes and motion my team to keep on walking. We walk around for a while until deeper in the cave it got very dark.
"Geez I can't see a frigging thing.", I say annoyed.
"Oh! I know.", Lucy said reaching for her keys. "Open gate of the firebird, Infernio!"
In a flash the bird man stood bowing in front of Lucy. "Hello Princess, it's so nice that you called me. How can I help you?", he said kissing Lucy's hand.
I felt a growl make its way up my throat.
"Hello Infernio, I was wondering if you could walk with us and create some fire so that we can see and stay warm?"
"Of course Princess, lead the way.", he said while igniting his fist on fire. We walked further into the Icy cave and eventually came to a clearing.
The whole cave glistened by Infernio´s fire reflecting on the Ice. I heard Blondie gasp a bit in awe and couldn´t suppress a chuckle. She gave me an annoyed glare and swatted my arm. I flicked her forehead and we began a little war amongst ourselves, pinching and swatting each other.
I grabbed her cheeks and stretched them, "Gonna give up Blondie." I said in a hushed tone. She tried her best to pry my hands of her cheeks as she pouted a bit. She crossed her arms and shook her head.
She looked to adorable. "What was that Blondie?", I said stretching her cheeks a little more.
"Auw!~ Lachus stop it!", she said. I chuckled and let her cheeks go. She rubbed them silently muttered a string of curses at me.
I turned back around to see my team snickering like school girls. I raised an eyebrow at them.
"You liiiiiikeeee her~", they sang in chorus. My cheeks flushed and so did Blondie's.
"Could we just get on with the mission?!", I said crouching down. They giggled and crouched down next to me.
"So you guys think the wyvern is in there somewhere?", Lucy asked leaning behind Bixlow. We nodded and scanned the area. There wasn't much except for ice... and more ice.
"Let's slowly walk over to see if there's anything there. And remember, Laxus-sama and Bixlow she avoid using their magic.", Freed said standing up. We nodded and slowly got up and shuffled towards the clearing.
On instinct I shuffled over to Blondie and stood protectively behind her. We walked to the middle of the room and stood still. Back to back, looking around. There were several tunnels in the wall but it was too dark to see.
"Princess should I walk into one of the tunnels for light?", Infernio whispered. I jumped a little because I forgot he was here.
She nodded and signed to one of the tunnels. The bird man walked over and expanded his flame a little. There was a loud thud and roar.
"Princess watch out!", Infernio shouted. I reacted quickly by grabbed Blondie and jumping back, just as a stream of ice was shot towards us. The fire from bird man vanished and the room was clouded in darkness.
"Blondie what happened to your spirit?", I asked still holding her to my chest.
I heard a chime of her keys and she answered, "He went back. He must have been hit."
"Crap", I muttered. It was completely dark now and we didn't have any other means of light.
"Hey is everyone alright?", I asked the darkness, hoping my team was still there.
"Yes were fine, we were able to jump away.", I heard Evergreen shout. She seemed to be far away. I tried to use my amplify dragon senses to see, but it was no use.
There was another load roar and I could hear heavy footsteps coming our way. I felt Blondie tense in my arms and I held her closer to my chest.
I tried to hear where he was coming from and established that he was coming from my left.
"Blondie he's coming from our left. Got any ideas?", I whispered.
I felt her nod and we staid deathly quiet, trying to hear any sudden movement. I focused all my senses in the direction of wyvern.
Nothing happened for a while and I was wondering if the wyvern had gone. But just then I felt the temperature drop and the wyvern came charging.
"Blondie he's coming!", I shouted, clutching her tightly to my chest.
I let her go and stepped forward. It roared again and I sensed it lifting his arm. I took a battle stance and ran towards it. If I couldn't use magic, I could still just use my fists.
"Laxus where is it?!", I heard Bixlow shout from a far end of the clearing. I was glad to hear they were in a safe distance, but me and Blondie were right in front of it.
I pulled my fist back and focused all my senses on its whereabouts. I sensed it moved and brought my fist foreword. It dodged my fist and I stumbled foreword, but the wyvern didn't stop it kept on running. For a second I was confused. And then it struck me.
"BLONDIE!", I yelled getting up.
The wyvern roared and my heart stood still. The wyvern shot a beam of Ice and snow and a blood curling scream was heard. A loud thump against the wall and it was quiet.
I couldn't think, all my senses told me to use my magic. So I did.
I let out a roar and shot a huge ball of lightning to the wyvern's direction. In the second my lightning illuminated the room I saw my team all the way on the other side of the room. And the thing that made my blood run cold, Lucy. She was slumped against the wall on my right covered my snow and ice. Clothes torn and blood dripping from numerous wounds.
The lightning hit the wyvern and the beast crashed into the wall. For a moment it was quiet again, but then I heard cracking and the ground rattled.
"Everyone watch out, the Ice it breaking!", I heard Freed shout.
I ran towards the direction I saw Blondie, but just as I was about to sprint the floor beneath me cracked and I caught one glimpse of Lucy, a crack forming above her.
"LUCY!"
So there you have it :D
I wanted to focus the first part on Lucy making friends with the Rajinshuu.
Hope you like it! I'm tired so I'm gonna nap
