Now is the chapter for some real LaLu
Lucy p.o.v.
I leaned on the side of whatever building I had run down the ally of, and covered my mouth and cried into it. I sank down to the ground with my knees together and feet apart, I folded my arms across the top of my joints and pressed my forehead against them as I cried. I thought about all the times I had had with Natsu and Gray; surely some of it had been real? They could not have just been thinking about Lisanna the whole time?
A shadow fell over me and I slowly looked up, I saw Laxus standing at the edge of the ally way. He grunted and I set my head back down and kept crying, though it was less than when I had first come to the ally. There was a soft thud then a soft thing draped around me then I was pulled into someone's side. I knew it was Laxus, and I looked up to see him looking down at me. I cuddled into his side. "Arigatou Laxus."
He grunted. "No problem… Mama." He chuckled at his own joke, which it was not really his because it was made up by Mirajane's and Geni's. I realized Geni would, as my Spirit, know what happens here. "You alright though?" He squeezed my side, so I was pulled closer.
I tilted my head back so I could see his face. "In a way, I am." I frowned at the birds in the sky. "But I can't believe Natsu and Gray. They'll come around, I'm sure. But…" I closed my eyes again and breathed the crisp winter air. "I always knew they were dense, and sometimes not so good with emotion." I opened my eyes and looked at Laxus. "I never knew they were this stupid. Ya know?"
He rubbed his chin as he thought, "Yes, I suppose." He started to laugh. "Though getting beaten up by a bunch of girls… That's stupid." He started to laugh really loud and seeing as I was pressed up against his side I could not move, so I just had to sit there being tossed about as he twisted and turned in his fit.
No one p.o.v.
As Laxus kept on laughing, Lucy started to laugh at his antics. "Laxus!" She squealed as he started to snort and fall over as she faintly wriggled about. "Let go of me." She chuckled into the side of his coat as he started to fall onto his side. He let go of her and he rolled onto his back. Lucy squealed as she fell on top of him and they both froze as their lips touched.
The lay there looking into each others eyes in shock neither of them moving from their position: that was until Lucy scrambled off him and ran back to her house in a blind panic. Laxus slowly stood up from where he had been lying after a few minutes, debating whether or not to go after her. Instead of doing that however he just went home. It was still early, but he did not want to go back to the guild and answer questions. Although he had a feeling that his 'daughter' Geni already knew what had happened.
As soon as he left the ally, the 'daughter' in question stepped out of the clothes shop opposite that ally with a grin on her face. There was nothing sinister to it, it was only a smile. Though her eyes told a completely different story.
Geni/Mary-lou/Saturn p.o.v.
That was not what was planned, and I think Lucy realized most of her Spirits would know what just happened. I could sense that she was home already, I watched Laxus walk down the street. No, not planned at all. I walked back to the guild with the recording lacrama in my hand. I would not tell anyone; no I wanted to see how the story would progress. Without any help.
As I walked through the doors to the guild I saw Natsu and Gray sitting with Erza, Lisanna, Wendy, Carla and Happy. Everyone had gone back to doing their normal things. Although all was very, very quiet: not quite silent, but quiet. My hand shone dimly as I moved the lacrama to my room in the Spirit World, though only Makarov glanced at my hand and widened his eyes before nodding an understanding. I sat down on the edge of the table beside the one they sat at. "Why are you not hurting us?" Natsu slammed his arm down onto the table; the both of them were bandaged from head to foot and had casts as well, so it sounded a little off and muffled.
Lisanna looked up to the ceiling. "You needed to understand what you have done wrong." She looked at Natsu, "Until you can understand what you did, we will continue to do so." She looked at Gray in turn. "And even until you apologize we will do so." She closed her eyes and smiled at the table. "We have forgiven you, but that does not matter."
Erza folded her arms and leaned towards them. "What matters, is you being forgiven by the woman you hurt." She tilted her head and gave a sinister smile, "But until then we have to beat you." She got up and went to the counter to eat cake, strawberry cake with vanilla icing.
Wendy hugged Carla. "You're both baka boys." She got up and stretched then she sat down again and waved me over, "We forgot to introduce this girl to you." I jumped off the table and landed on the spot where Erza had been sitting. "This is Geni Lockser, Juvia's cousin."
I smiled at them and Gray paled. "Geni thinks you in a way realise what it is you have done Gray." I shrugged closing and opening my eyes as I do. "But you're still idiots." Natsu stood up and slammed his fists down and started to speak, I stood up after him and pushed his forehead and he fell down seeing as most of him was in casts. "Baka Natsu. You can't move if your bones are broken, Geni thinks you should just sit still." I punctuated the last two words by speaking slowly and with an edge to my voice.
Natsu slowly nodded and went into a depressed state. I flicked my wrist sending a fire ball at him and he ate it. "Not bad." He mumbled as he ate. He slurped up the last few drops of it then sighed contently; he really was a piece of work, was he not? He looked down at the ground "I'm hungry!" He looked at Mirajane.
Gray looked at her as well, so she sighed. "Geni will you help me?" I stood up and went into the guilds kitchen after her. "You make Natsu's food, I'll make Gray's. Natsu likes hot and spicy foods." She started to gather mint leaves and to bustle around the room. I surveyed the cabinets, which were all open, and then the fridge. I got to work along side her.
