Context: Ok so I'm not sure where I would have this happen but I may actually put this in a story if I could ever think of a place to actually put it in! I like it so darn much! So basically this would be in some weird timeline where Laxus was kicked out of the guild and Lucy and Laxus were dating but he was banned cause of his take over plan it's fine. LOL I wrote this one shot to see how I feel about it...practice pieces...Lmao have I ever said for someone not to steal my ideas!? This would be one of them! Pretty please!? Lol toying with the idea on where to take a story lol I'm really horrible at this 😂

This was inspired by a one shot I will not take credit of this part but dragon slayers and hibernation. Now it was a LaLu week I wanna say...someone who's good at the internet help me find this i can't find it to give credit. But basically it had Lucy being stuck with Laxus and he wouldn't let her go in his office when she made him a bed of wool from aries, and he wouldn't let her go it was cute fluff and now I've made it angsty comedy fluff! Basically it's a Virgo and Laxus fic but you'll see what I mean.

Alicia gave the stamp of approval of her little story! Yay!

RachJemi...I'm back! Told you it wouldn't be long! And I've got two main stories and Laxus v. Bikini I will never be truly gone XD

Thank you Tiernank! *Bows* This little "Story" or really series of one shots are designed to make you laugh and keep you entertained. I've been trying to update when I can honestly cause I feel like we all need a smile. I write these as how I would want to see one shots be written so thank you!

Guys I'm a horrible person and like reviews, also if you've got an idea hit me up!

As always...action!


Lucy woke up concerned. When she woke up this morning she was cold and found Natsu curled up in front of her heater. He was sleeping in a mountain of her clothes. Ok this isn't weird...

She got up and walked over to Natsu, what is going on? Nothing out of the norm on the surface he was always at her house now that Laxus and her "broke up." The weird thing was though was that he was not snuggling up to her in her bed. But in front of the heater. Weird. Which Lucy was more than ok with. She was still dating Laxus even if it was in secret...well he had to lose his mind and get kicked out of the guild for them to get back together... strange how things work out...

Anyways...She woke up because she was cold. She didn't prepare the night before for a winter blanket and was sleeping with a sheet. Natsu's body heat always suffocated her more than Laxus's did and she wondered if that had to do with being a fire dragon because Laxus still had a high body temperature...she digressed in her thoughts though... she slept in a sheet to keep cool and not die at night. Lucy eyed the strange sight shivering. Damn it was cold. She mentally faced palm. Did she just curse? She grumbled to herself thinking Laxus had rubbed off on her a little too much... A sudden cold front blew in during the night, she tried to pull out her robe but Natsu was holding on to the thing pretty tightly. She sighed and gave up, she pulled out a sweatshirt from the pile. It was navy blue and had the constellations all over it. She also managed to pull out some fuzzy PJ bottoms. She looked outside, no wonder why she was cold! It was snowing! Holy crap! Lucy marveled at the snow. It was beautiful.

Lucy looked back at Natsu, he had made some sort of weird nest, he was asleep though with several layers of fabric on top of him. Lucy shrugged, she'll find out eventually what was going on. After a bath and now in some warmer clothes she left her bathroom. When she got out she saw Happy emerge from the pile of clothes, mainly the bras. She blushed when she saw him wander around with a bra on his head. Lucy vaguely remembered Laxus had bought that one...she blushed thinking about it.

"Morning Lushy," Happy said walking over to her fridge and getting a fish. Wait- where did that come from? Lucy raised an eyebrow, "morning Happy. What's going on here?" She said motioning to the pile of clothes and him.

Happy shrugged. "It's Natsu, he's hibernating." He said still sleepy.

"He's what-"

"He's hibernating as in sleeping-"

"I know what it means but Natsu hibernates?"

"All dragon slayers do, according to Charla and Lily, Wendy and Gajeel are out too, it happens every winter when it gets super cold. Charla and I have gone through this every year with Natsu and Wendy. We had to fill Lily in on it. But yeah they eat a bunch and then go to sleep."

She looked into her fridge and was not surprised to see a ton of fish in it. Someone stocked up. She was going to have to properly store those, her fridge was starting to smell. Great...Happy was now munching on a fish on her kitchen table.

"Uhh... And how long does this hibernation thing normally take? I mean how long will he be here like this? And what this about eating?" Lucy was slightly starting to panic, was Laxus ok? She looked outside. She affectionately called him her silly dragon, but was he being silly and freezing to death hibernating in the cold with no preparation being done.

"There isn't really a specific time frame, it always depends on how long it's cold outside. But mostly it's something between just a few days or around two weeks. And there isn't really a need for him to eat, did you notice that he ate more these last few days? Like most animals who do hibernate they stocked up on food and he stocks up on his element," Happy gestured to the fire, "and a place he feels comfortable to sleep in and be protected while he's at his most vulnerable. If he does need more food he will wake up for a short time before falling asleep again."

Lucy nodded, still didn't ease her worry about Laxus though...

"So.. that means he will stay here in my apartment for a few days at least and you too of course but-"

She looked out the window again. She watched Happy crawl back to Natsu and fall asleep from the reflection in her window. She sighed, was Laxus being affected by this too? She trekked across the floor, she picked up a pair of socks. They had polar bears on them and they were fuzzy on the inside. Lucy loved them they were so cute! She put one foot in the air and put on the sock then it's twin in the other fashion. She yawned going to the heater and getting more wood. She would need to get more. She saw Natsu had brought in a bunch of twigs and logs but it wasn't nearly enough. She shook her head, where did he get this stuff? She realized she digressed in her thoughts yet again.

She knew he was smart and capable of taking care of himself but she still worried. He is a second generation, so what exactly does that mean for him? Over the time they dated she did observe that he, too, as a second generation dragon slayer he was rather similar to the other slayers but it seems that he was less affected. For example, he too suffered from motion sickness but it wasn't as bad as the other slayers, apart from Wendy who doesn't suffer from it at all. She made a strangled noise. She was starting to get worried sick about him.

Virgo feeling her Master's frustrations opened her gate.

"Hime what's wrong?"

Lucy stamped her feet impatiently. "It's Laxus! There's this thing, dragons hibernate apparently. And I'm worried about him," she whispered. She walked over to the fridge taking off her sweatshirt. She started to deal with the fish in her fridge. "And what if he's all alone out there sleeping, where someone could just take advantage of him when he's most vulnerable! He could be freezing and hungry!" She slammed the body of a fish a little to hard at that moment causing scales to go flying. "And now my fridge smells like fish!" She cried.

Virgo was stoic on the outside, on the inside she was shocked her Master was falling to pieces. She knew Laxus and her had recently gotten back together but she didn't think her master had this many emotions about the lightning dragon slayer. Lucy looked to Virgo with big pleading eyes.

"Would you mind if you may be found Laxus and made sure he was ok! Please! If I know he's tucked away in a hotel room or something I'll feel better! And that he's not out in the cold- it would make me feel better!"

Virgo gave her Master a look. "Yes Hime I can. But it may take me while."

"That's fine! Thank you!" Lucy said hugging Virgo was stunned. "I'll even punish you if you want!" She pleaded. Again, Virgo widened her eyes she never agreed to that, and now she was? Was today her lucky day or was Lucy truly falling to pieces? Lucy never acted this way. Lucy didn't just ask her spirits to find people and agree to punish them either, even though she asked for it, Virgo shook her head. She had to find Laxus.

She set about trying to find Laxus and when she did..she was glad miss Lucy was not here. The guy looked awful. He was passed out in a cave somewhere in a sleeping bag. Miss Lucy would kill him! No fire, no protective clothing against the cold, and no food was on standby.

Virgo shook her head, Laxus was passed out though... Virgo decided to locate the nearest town. When she did, she found the nearest hotel and went to the front desk to secure a room. Securing a room and key, she materialize back into the cave.

Virgo watched Laxus for a moment. She noticed even when he was asleep, he looked very restless, as if something was bothering him, not to mention, his position didn't look very comfortable on the ground. She tapped against his shoulder to get a reaction from him but he didn't move. This was serious, from when Laxus and Lucy did date while he was in the guild, Virgo found out he was a very light sleeper. He should have woken up to her coming into this cave let alone her tapping him. Only a light grumble came out as an answer before he moved to tried to find a more comfortable position.

She tried several more times but got the same result.

She turned into her other form that the Duke used to like. She carried him like a baby. She decide to cheat just a little bit by transporting him to the spirit realm and then into the hotel room. She figured the, Laxus Dreyar did not want to be seen being carried like a baby through out town.

Loke gave Virgo a look what the- did he want to know? Today was his time off - he would just wait. He thought walking away shaking his head.

When Virgo arrived in the hotel room she looked around. Laxus had passed out again in her arms. Though he never really woke up either.

"Master Laxus... Come one, lets move you to the bed, it's much more comfortable and there you can sleep better." She tried to persuade him. Another grumble but his eyes slightly blinked open.

She placed Master Laxus on the floor he woke up slightly more.

"What the-"

He shook his head awake. God, it was hard to stay awake.

"You're awake?" She asked surprised.

"Virgo?"

"Master Laxus," Virgo curtsied, "Hime sent me to make sure you were ok. If you can get up on your own and take a shower, I'll prepare the room."

Laxus grumbled he wasn't sure what was going on, but a shower? He looked at the bed that looked much more inviting...

"If you don't do it yourself I'll force you and I'll tell Hime you're not cooperating."

Laxus glared at her. He knew Lucy would get highly offended if Virgo spun some tale that he was being unwilling, and rude. She would look at it as if her affections weren't wanted. Which they were he just wanted to sleep! But he knew Lucy, and her mind like to jump to conclusions. He had just gotten her back was he willing to push it?

He gave Virgo one last glare.

She wouldn't... he challenged silently, but the look in her eyes said she would. So Laxus growled and got up. He grumbled losing this battle.

He went over to where the bathroom was. He turned on the water and stripped himself and got in. He made it quick. When he got out he was surprised that a pair of sweatpants was waiting for him. He put them on yawning. He trudged like a zombie over to the bed. Virgo lifted one of his arms over her shoulder. They moved slowly, wavering towards the bed, with Virgo carrying most of his weight. He gladly collapsed into the bed. "There we are!"

Virgo was annoyed, he didn't even bother to get under the covers?

Laxus fell back asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.

Now on the bed Virgo noticed he seemed calmer but she could still see that he was still a bit restless.

She rolled her eyes and went to the spirit world and came back with a comforter. She placed it on top of the man.

Before she left, Laxus called out to her. "Thank you Virgo. I'm sorry I'm being an ass just so tired-" he said passing out. Virgos usually stoic face broke out into a smile. She shook her head, "no problem Master Laxus." And with that she disappeared.

Virgo was tempted to tell Lucy what actually happened... but she didn't. She lied and told Lucy he totally was already holed up in a hotel room and it was well stocked with food and he wasn't sleeping in a cave when she found him. Lucy somehow bought it, and went about her day taking care of Natsu, writing her novel and scrubbing at her fridge to get rid of the fish smell. Feeling better that her silly dragon wasn't out there freezing in the cold.

"Can you check on Laxus tomorrow?" She asked. Virgo lifted an eyebrow.

"Sure."

Virgo thought about this whole hibernation thing, maybe it was time to do some research...


Science?
