Author's Note: (Pleas read)
HEllllloooooooo ma lovelies!
I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPLOADING FOR A WHILE! I truly am! But I have soooo much work to do, it's not even funny anymore. And on top of that, I have THE WORST project partner you could wish for!
Anyway, this is a little OVA episode again. I think I'm gonna write one more OVA before getting back to the actual plot. I'm not sure.
My laptop is still not back yet which sucks, but I'm getting a new phone. And maybe I can type a little on that :D
Warning:
I do not own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does.
Characters might be a little OOC!
I FINALLY CAUGHT MEWTWO ON POKEMON Y (It took way longer than I thought it would XD)
Thank you again everyone who sent their OC's! I hope you enjoy this chapter :)
Hurried footsteps echoed through the dark road. A girl with a long white trenchcoat, the collar pulled up high against the rain, with a book held above her head was running along the pavement. Her black boots splashed against the puddles of the road and her golden blond hair whipped through the wind. She came to a halt in front of a small cafe. She seemed to hesitate at first, but hurried in when a loud boom of thunder sounded in the distance.
She closed the door behind her and breathed out a sigh. She took off her wet coat and shook it before hanging it on one of the clothes hangers. She looked around the small bar. There weren't a lot of people. Some drunks laughing at one of the tables in the back, a view men seated at the bar staring mindlessly in front of themselves and one person tucked in the far corner.
The girl squeezed the water out of her hair before making her way to the bar and seating herself on one of the bar stools.
"Hello Miss what can I get you?" the bartender said walking over.
"Can I have a pot of strawberry tea and a bottle of rum?" She said giving a small smile.
The bartender quirked an eyebrow at the odd request, but prepared it anyway. He came a little later with a steaming pot and a bottle with brown liquid. He placed in front of the blond and nodded before walking off again.
The girl pored herself a cup of tea and added a shot of rum to it. She let out a content sigh as the warm liquid flowed down her throat, the rum leaving a spicy after taste. She clasped her cold hands around the warm cup and glanced over at the other customers.
The drunks at the back of the bar were still merrily laughing and swaying around, the two men at the bar were now eyeing her with furrowed eyebrows. The only person she could not properly see was the man hidden in the shadows of the corner of the room.
She did not actually want to stop at the bar, but her house was still quite a while away and there was no public transport at this hour. She unfortunately also found herself in one of the more 'shady' parts of Magnolia. She never really went to these parts of town, but she had to go to a friend's house so she didn't have much choice. She had only realized the time when they had finished their project and she did not want to trouble her friend by staying.
She took another sip of her drink before turning her attention back to the bar. She spotted funny forms in the dark wood and traced them gently with her slim finger. She saw an owl and a bunny and, was that a deformed foot?
She sighed in boredom as she poured another cup. It was late and she wanted to go home to sleep, but she couldn't get anywhere with this weather. Her light blue trousers were still wet and her hair had started drying. She didn't mind rain or storms, she just didn't like being wet and cold. The two together made a deadly combination to the blond girl.
In the corner of her eye she sensed someone come up to her.
"Hey there-hic-girly~" a man drunkenly approached her, "What are-hic-you doing here aaaaal alone~" he slung an arm around her shoulders.
"Why don't you come with us Blondie? I promise we'll show you a good time." Two other drunken men made their way towards her.
"No thank you, could you please just leave me alone." She replied coldly, removing the man's arm in the process.
"Aaa-hic-aaw, you don't have to be shy. We promise to be nice." The second drunk man said coming closer. The girl scrunched her nose at the vile smell of alcohol and the sweaty body odor coming from the three of them.
"I already said no. Now leave me alone." She glared at the drunks. She really did not want to get in trouble now.
The third man smirked and stepped closer, "That's not very nice of you. Come on now." He was obviously less drunk and he had an intimidating look in his eyes.
"As I said NO." She tried to push him away, but he caught her hand and his smirk widened.
"Fine then, if you don't want to come willingly." He tightened his grip around her wrist and chuckled.
She gulped and tried to hit him with her other hand, but again it was caught by the man. He was stronger than he looked and he was also the least drunk of all of them.
"Let me go!" she hissed as she tried to get her hands back. The men laughed and the man holding her pulled her up.
"Come on Blondie as we said, we'll show you a good time." His hand grazed her hip and she backed away.
"Let me go now!" she said, venom lacing her voice. The man pulled her closer.
"Hey! Did you not hear the lady, she said to let her go." A low rumbling voice called from the corner. All of them whipped their heads in the direction of the voice. It came from the mysterious customer of whom the girl could not see the face before.
The mysterious customer stood up revealing spiky blond hair and a lightning shaped scar on his left blue eye. The girls eyes widened, the man was beyond handsome! He had broad shoulders and was obviously well muscled.
The semi-drunk man scoffed and loosened his grip on the girl, "What are you going to do about it? It's not as if she's your girl." The man smirked and now almost fully let go of her.
She saw this as her chance and quickly pulled her hands from the man's grip. The man whipped around, but the girl didn't think twice before kicking him right in the shin.
The man fell to the floor clutching his 'sore part' and groaned a string of colourful curses. The other
two whipped around taking a fighting stance, but before they could do anything the girl had already kicked another in the shin and the last against his chest with a swift punch to the face.
The bartender rushed out from the storage room to see what the commotion was about, "What's happening?" he glanced over to the men on the floor, "Oh I'm terribly sorry miss, did they cause you any trouble."
The girl smile, "No I'm okay, you might want to do something about them before they recover." She motioned to the men sprawled on the floor. The bartender nodded and took out his phone.
She glanced towards the man that had stood up for her and saw that he was seated in his corner again. She mentally debated whether she should walk over to him, he didn't really seem to want company. But then again he did sort of 'save' her and it was only polite to offer him a drink.
She grabbed her courage and picked up her tea. She walked over to the corner and slipped onto the chair opposite to the man.
He didn't seem to acknowledge her so she smiled and poured herself another cup, "Thank you for helping me back there," she motioned at the semi-passed out men who were now being thrown out, "can I treat you on a drink a gratitude?"
The blond man looked up, "Tea and rum is an odd combination." He simply stated.
The girl sweatdropped at his bold statement, but smiled anyway, "Yea I know, it's a little something I came up with on a last minute writing assignment." The man raised an eyebrow, "The tea helps you relax and think, while the rum gives you a boost."
The man chuckled and sat straight, she could now see him properly. He was even more handsome up close! He had a strong and divined jaw line and his eyes weren't just blue, but stormy grey-ish blue.
"Interesting, I think I will try some of that." He motioned towards the teapot. She shook herself out of her staring stupor and poured him a cup.
"My name is Lucy by the way." She said adding a shot of rum.
"Laxus." He said taking the cup.
Lucy held her cup up and grinned, "Cheers." Laxus chuckled and clanked his cup against hers.
"So what is a girl like you doing in the bad parts of town like here." He questioned drinking the tea in one go, like a shot.
She poured him another cup and shrugged, "I was at my friends house and the quickest way back is through here."
He nodded, "Didn't exactly choose good weather to be late and go through this path."
"Well I don't really mind rain or thunderstorms, it's just that I don't like being cold and wet when it's dark." She said shrugging.
"You like storms?" he said looking up.
She nodded and smiled, "Yea, I like the smell and the sound. It has always been very calming to me." She dreamingly stared out of the window.
The man's eyes widened, but he composed himself before she noticed, "So what were you doing at your friend's house?" he took a good look at her. She had long golden blond hair and huge big brown eyes that looked like pools of melted chocolate. What made them special to him was the glimmer that sparked in them whenever she smiled. Her smile was radiant and sweet, but at the same time contained something mischievous, like she was going to do something totally unexpected any moment.
His eyes travelled slightly down, she had a large chest, but at the same time she was slender and well curved. Long slim dainty fingers clasped her tea mug and before she sat down, he saw that she had long and slim legs. In a word she was beautiful.
Although he never really was impressed by others, he had to say that she was a work of art.
His eyes shot back up when she turned back from the window to face him, "Me and my friend had to write a paper that counts for our finals, so it was pretty important." She said.
"You're in college? What are you studying?" he asked her.
She smiled and brought her hand up to her chest. She unconsciously rubbed the small golden pendant between her fingers, "I am studying astronomy, space and physics."
Laxus was impressed, she didn't really look like the type, "That's interesting, what made you choose them?"
She smiled, "I have always been fascinated with the stars and space and anything related to it. I think it's because of my mom. She always used to tell me stories and we would often go out at night and stargaze. I was always so baffled about how big the universe is, about all the things that we have yet to discover about it." She paused and her smile turned a little bit sad, "When my mom died, I was very lonely and sad. The one thing that would cheer me up though, was going out at night and watch the stars."
She looked back up, she wasn't entirely sure why she told him that. But she felt as if she could trust him. When he said that he was interested, he meant it and wasn't just saying it to be polite. She loved talking about her studies to other people, so it wasn't actually a problem.
"That's impressive you know." He said wide eyed once again.
She sipped her tea and straightened her posture again, "So what do you do?" she gave him an interested look.
He rubbed the back of his neck and sighed, "It's nowhere as impressive as your story, but I am learning to take over my grandfather's company."
Her eyebrows shot up, "What do you mean not impressive, that's awesome. What kind of company is it?"
He chuckled, "He is kinda in the government and runs a company that associates with the safety of the country."
Her mouth gaped, "Seriously?!" he nodded, "That is soooo cool, what on earth did you mean with not interesting!" she leaned forward with big eyes which made Laxus chuckle.
"I didn't think someone would be so interested in that, but okay." He said shrugging. He was highly amused by her excited and slightly childish antics. Normal people would have zoned out at government and business, but she was now rambling all sorts of questions.
"Oh wait! I shouldn't ask probably since it would be secret." She said sitting down and pulling an adorable little pout.
"While it's true I can't tell any secrets, you can always come and visit the building. I can give you a special tour." He said. On the outside he was smiling, but in the inside he was mentally panicking. Why on earth did he just invite a girl to his job?! He never invited girls anywhere, girls asked him.
Her eyes sparkled and she once again leaned forward in excitement, "Really? That would be so interesting."
Laxus let a small smile play upon his lips and he nodded. It surprised him how easy it was to talk to her. He never really was one of the ongoing enjoyable conversations. He would always push people away by making a cocky comment or just flat out ignore them. But with her he didn't feel the need and even wanted to carry on the conversation.
The rest of the night they talked all about themselves, their friends and about just plain random things.
Laxus thought that he hadn't laughed this much since he was younger.
"Sorry Sir, Miss we are going to close in a few minutes." The bartender said walking over.
"Huh? But how late is it then?" Lucy looked on her watch and her eyes widened, "Holy shit! It's already nearly four in the morning!"
Laxus looked up, "Really? Do you have something important?"
She nodded and jumped up, "Yes I have a lecture and I have to do a presentation." She started panicking a little now.
He chuckled and helped her up, "Since it's still dark, can I walk you home?"
She was startled a little at first, but then broke out into a huge smile, "I would like that."
Laxus smiled and opened the door for her. The rain wasn't pouring down anymore, but had reduced to just a drizzle. They both walked, chatting and laughing along the way and when they arrived at Lucy's house, both felt a little sad.
"This is my place, thank you for walking me." Lucy said getting a little shy.
"Don't worry, I liked it. I haven't laughed like this in a while." He said smiling.
Lucy awkwardly shifted her weight on her feet, "Well, I guess I'll see you around."
Laxus rubbed the back of his neck, "Yea I guess so."
Lucy gave an awkward smile before opening her door, "Bye then." She secretly sighed.
Laxus clenched his fists before taking a step towards her, "WAIT!"
Lucy turned around, "Y-Yes?"
"U-Uhm, I know it's kinda sudden, but would you maybe," Laxus cursed inwardly, why was it so damn hard to ask her? "Would you maybe like to go out some time?"
Lucy smiled and walked back down, "I would like that." She whispered and placed a small kiss on his cheek before walking back in.
Laxus smiled and brought his hand up to the place she kissed him.
It's a little short, but it's also sweet :3 (Right?)
