Merry Christmas! I'll have Night 4 uploaded later tonight!
Justloverly don't kill me!
When Lucy woke up she felt drained. She lied in bed staring at the ceiling. She touched her lips. That dream felt real again. She looked around, it was a dream; right? She wasn't sure anymore.
The sun's rays shone down upon her and she felt odd. She slowly got up to her elbows, she winced suddenly. She looked down, her elbows had bruises. She examined herself further, she noticed her shoulders had bruises.
Lucy blinked, she was confused. She slowly got out of bed. Natsu was not around, which she was thankful for. She looked down at the sheets and winced. There were more milky stains.
'Great.' She thought as she stripped the bed. She walked painfully across the room. Her hips were popping as she walked. "This sucks." She gripped.
She winced feeling her legs shaking. "What the hell kind of dreams are these?" She asked, thinking about everything. 'Why was this happening? And why Laxus? Why not oh Natsu?' She pouted in the bathroom. 'I literally had butterflies yesterday over Natsu but was having sex dreams about another man? How fucked am I?'
She felt her cheeks getting warm thinking about how Laxus fucked her raw and hard in that kitchen dream. She felt her chest and stomach flutter. She closed her eyes, as she turned on the water in her bathroom for a bath.
Laxus's tongue in her butt was surprising. And yet she liked it. That was the scary part to her. 'Am I normal in liking that? Is it ok that I liked it?'
She climbed into the warm water. She winced as she felt the hot water penetrate her vagina. It stung a bit. She adjusted herself to where she found a comfortable spot to lay out in. She took a shaky breath. The guilt she was feeling sucked, she liked the dreams but wasn't she in love with Natsu?
She felt her stomach flip thinking about Natsu's smile. Lucy kicked her foot, water splashing everywhere. 'Stupid hormones.'
Lucy looked down at the water, as she scrubbed herself. 'Why can't things be a little easier to figure out?'
She sighed, a logical part of her brain was saying this was all hormones. Lust.
She was a sexual being, clearly by her dreams, and Natsu wasn't giving her the physical attention. So she was using Laxus in her dreams as a way of expressing her frustrations because he has shown interest.
Lucy sunk into the tub lower when she thought about that, 'if that was the case why did my heart hurt thinking that?'
When Laxus got to the guild this morning, he woke up highly disappointed Blondie wasn't wrapped around him. Angry enough to throw a pillow against the wall. But he calmed down enough to realize he was going to physically spend the day with her again. His good mood was restored. But of course that wasn't going to last long?
Laxus was sitting at his desk. He was trying to read through some documents explaining the monthly finances of the Guild. When his grandfather knocked on his door. After a few brief moments of talking Laxus decided to ask his grandfather a question that had been bothering him looking through the paperwork from when Macao had been in charge. He had talked to Macao about it earlier and got very little out of it.
"Do you know what Aberdeen Solutions is?" Laxus asked his grandfather. His grandfather gave him a blank expression.
Laxus sighed before elaborating. "Fineback, has listed them as a consultant firm. They bill us each month for their Management Services."
Makarov looked bored. "Ok?" He put his head in his hand. "Check with the errr accounting things."
Laxus rolled his eyes. "I did and that only tells me how much we pay them. I called them and it's an automatic answering service. Left 6 messages and no return calls so far. Something doesn't feel right about this.
"We've had to use them for years and Fineback is an old friend of mine Laxus-"
"I know and Macao said they helped us out when we all disappeared on Tenrou, we talked about it but something isn't right."
Makarov sighed. "Then," he began nodding. "I'm explicitly telling you not to look into this."
Laxus smiled watching his grandfather leave. The unspoken agreement hung in the air. Laxus got up and walked away, intent on finding out what was going on.
When Laxus went down stairs he found the guild in what he would call chaos, they were all being noisy. Sorcerer Weekly had announced who the Sexiest Man Alive was that year. And they chose Natsu. No big deal. Except the women were making a big deal out of it.
"I just can't believe they chose Natsu. Sure he's cute but not sexy." Evergreen was arguing. Laxus really couldn't care about the whole thing. He was drinking his morning cup of joe before he went and did some investigating.
He was listening to Ever explain why Sorcerer Weekly chose Natsu, they rated him on how smart, talented, good looks and being a powerful mage. Laxus rolled his eyes. As a man he didn't go around rating other men, and the idea of being the sexiest man alive seemed utterly pointless. But he would agree the kid was talented and over all had a good personality. And he had two gorgeous women in the guild who loved him, so clearly women saw something. He soured thinking about that, one of them he was currently having some vivid sex dreams about.
"Who should have won Evergreen? Elfman?" He teased drinking his cup of coffee. At that Bickslow and Freed snickered watching her turn bright red. It made Laxus feel better in that moment seeing her reaction.
"Laxus! Don't be absurd! Elfman is about as attractive as a wyvern!" She huffed.
"Hey some women maybe into that, like a fetish." Laxus teased again.
Evergreen huffed again. Laxus was going to say something when he saw Natsu walking by. He looked at the kid. "Hey Natsu?"
Natsu looked over at Laxus, hope in his eyes. "I knew it! You wanna fight me! WE GOTTA MAKE IT QUICK THOUGH, I'M GOING ON A MISSION!" Natsu looked like he was ready to leap at Laxus.
Laxus scowled, getting up, "no I actually don't but I did want to congratulate you on your new title before I leave." He disc flashing a nastily amused smile at the younger mage. Natsu paled at Laxus's words. "Please don't, I don't want it."
Laxus frowned, folding his arms, "and why's that?"
Natsu screamed, pulling his hair. "Because all day women have been throwing themselves at me and I hate it. That article said I was the most eligible bachelor that plays hard to get and now I'm having women throw themselves at me. Why can't they just throw food at me?" He mumbled.
Laxus laughed hearing Natsu's explanation. It was very Natsu. Behind him he heard Bickslow mutter something about it being terrible having women throw themselves at him. Laxus shook his head a little lost for words.
"It will pass, kid. Eventually, you tune them out trust me." Laxus reassured. At this point he was still in a good mood.
"Yeah well I really don't want it. They keep on asking me who I love and what I like in women and I don't know how to answer that! You say one thing and other women get upset! And I don't want to hurt their feelings." Natsu complained.
Laxus was going to say something when Macao interrupted the conversation. "Natsu it's ok to have a type you know." He laughed.
Wakaba laughed, his smokers cough making him sound wheezy and busted. "Clearly he does, he likes curvy blonde women with big boobs!" Wakaba laughed. Mira Jane who was passing by smacked Wakaba in the head.
"Eh! What was that for!"
Mira glared at him, "one of those women I'm sure you're referring to is my sister and the other I've come to look as one of my sisters."
Wakaba looked bashful.
It became apparent after that, that the entire guild was eavesdropping to Laxus. Mira looked over at Natsu, "we all have characteristics we like in the opposite sex Natsu. It's ok to like certain things over others, like I like men with longer hair, and who are more scholarly." She casted a quick look at Freed, who blushed in response to her comment.
Natsu folded his arms, "I really don't think I have a type. I like being around nice girls who smell nice, and if they cook that's great!" He said smiling. Mira smiled in response, those were nice qualities to like about women.
Natsu appeared to be thinking. "I like Lucy 'cause she's really smart, but I also like Lisanna because she's so caring and maternal. You can't teach people to be that nice and down the Earth. Are those like the types you mean?"
"Aww isn't that adorable!" Cana slurred.
Everyone stared at Cana, who happened to be nearby Lucy and Lisanna. Cana looked drunk and shocked at the bar. "What!? Those are cute qualities that he pointed out about our favorite blondes!" At that she wrapped an arm around Lisanna and Lucy. They both blushed, clearly listening in on the conversation and that's probably when Laxus's day, he decided started to tank.
"What else do you like about our girls! Don't be shy! Do you like their big thick titties!" Cana slurred squeezing them. Lisanna and Lucy shrieked at that.
Natsu didn't look phased one bit. He actually looked thoughtful.
"Well I like how Lucy is smart like I said, and that she's also caring, and loyal, sweet, a great cook, she smells nice, is pretty, and I admire the fact that she goes great lengths to take care of herself, she can be a pain and cocky but I like how she's confident."
Lucy blushed at that. Laxus felt a knot in his stomach.
"And I like Lisanna because she's sweet, a great cook, maternal-like, confident in a different way, you never need to feel like you gotta stand out you know? Like you're pretty, and nice and you do your own thing, while being helpful and loyal, you've always been a good friend to me and I really missed you when you died."
Laxus didn't need to turn around to know that Bickslow was on edge. He could sense it.
"Oh! Natsu I don't know about that-" Lisanna argued, blushing.
"No! It's true." Bickslow said admentantly. "You're amazing and you need to stop doubting that." He mumbled. Lisanna and Bickslow stared at one another. Their eyes were locked on one another's.
"That's cool and all, but who would you date?" Jet asked randomly. Laxus tore his gaze from his buddy and the barmaid to Jet.
"Wait, what?" Natsu asked, now caught off guard.
"Who would you date?" Droy asked. The guild was so silent, you could hear a pin drop. It made Laxus antsy, the guild was never this quiet, and yet people really wanted to hear the words that came out of Natsu's mouth next.
"I don't know why you're asking that question." Natsu said slowly.
"Do you love them or one of them, that's what we're asking?" Charla asked now impatiently as well. Laxus stared at the little cat, 'when did she become invested?'
Everyone stared at Natsu.
"Well Natsu?" Mira asked, hoping for some confirmation. Either for her sister or Lucy. Someone needed closure on their feelings for Natsu.
Natsu stared at everyone, he looked uncomfortable. "I love both of them. Is that bad?" He asked. He looked like a little boy not sure of what to say.
The sound of Bickslow breaking a mug was heard across the room. Laxus couldn't blame him. Now that he knew what Bickslow was dealing with he sympathized with his best friend. Lisanna shook her head torn, she reached out to him from across the room. Laxus watched Bickslow calm down slightly, noticing her hand across the room reach for him. Bickslow sighed after a few moments getting up, muttering he needed a few moments alone however. Lisanna stared after him, she looked like she wanted to run to him but something was holding her back.
Laxus turned to Lucy. She looked torn at what was happening as well. The only one who said anything was Mira. She looked fairly annoyed with Natsu in that moment.
"Natsu," she said. "If you had to oh let's say choose-" she said her voice had that evil sweet tone.
Natsu balked.
"Let's say you did. Who would you choose?" She asked, clasping her hands together.
Natsu looked thoughtful. "But that's awful. You're making me choose-"
Lisanna smiled at Natsu, "it's ok. We won't be hurt." She looked at Lucy. Who looked uncomfortable, but nodded.
"She's right. We won't." Lucy said, playing with her hands.
Natsu looked thoughtful. Laxus tried to ignore the feeling in his stomach. One that was hoping he would say Lisanna and not Lucy. He felt guilty feeling that way.
"Well Lucy. She's my partner, and really nice. She always smells really good, even though you freak out a lot. You're fun to have around on missions. I always like taking naps with you. I'm glad you came with me to Fairy Tail and we have the relationship we do have. I would not give it up for the world. And I missed you a lot, when I was training. Not that I didn't miss Lisanna though!" He looked at Lisanna desperately, hoping he didn't hurt her feelings.
Lucy stared at him. Lisanna shook her head, smiling at him reassuringly. She said something under her breath, but it was so low Laxus couldn't hear it.
"So you want to date her?" Mira asked.
Natsu looked confused, "date? Why are you asking me that?"
Macao shook his head, "you're such an idiot." Laxus was silently agreeing. He was angry for Lucy. Natsu just wasn't getting it or maybe, and this thought scared him, he was starting to realize his own feelings. Laxus crushed his own mug in his hand.
"I don't know. What the hell is going on?" Natsu asked, grabbing his head. "I love both of them, and I think its mean that you're all trying to make me choose." He looked at the ground stubbornly.
Lucy stared at Natsu. Her eyes filled with a hurricane of emotions. Natsu looked uncomfortable. "Are we done yet?" Natsu asked.
Everyone nodded. Natsu got up slowly, "I gotta go on this mission," he said to Lucy. "But hurry with Laxus so I can have my team back." He laughed, giving Lucy a hug. He ran over to Lisanna and did the same for her, whispering something to her. Before finally running out the door, his backpack slapping against him, waving goodbye. Happy gave Lucy and Lisanna a hug as well before he left.
Lucy nodded, still clearly dazed. Laxus felt this pang of envy, he tried to shove it down. He got up and walked towards the entrance of the guild hall, he saw Blondie look his way. She looked confused. Laxus clenched his fist, not sure why he was angry about this.
He only just started to get to know her, all they had were the times now in his office. And those stupid dreams. But that was imaginary. All that was imaginary.
He looked down at her, "Do whatever you need to do I'll be back." He grunted before walking away. He didn't wait for a response.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lisanna hop over the bar, and out the door. He hoped she was running to find Bickslow. His best friend deserved a stupid romance scene event like that, even if she was doing the right thing by herself. And clearly she cared about Bickslow. He sighed before leaving.
Laxus appeared outside the building. Fineback's building. He tried to not think about Lucy and the dreams and stupid Natsu who may or may not like Lucy.
He chose Lucy.
His fist clenched by his side. He was annoyed, 'why am I having all these damn dreams? And what the hell was that dream about us in my kitchen?'
His thoughts broke for a minute, he looked at the top of the building. If he had to take a guess, he would guess the files that he needed were in what he would dub a file room.
He took a deep breath and walked around the side of the building. He saw what looked like a box with wires. He continued to think about his dreams.
'...what if she actually let me chase her around like prey, but maybe not in a forest. But maybe I could chase her around my place...in a way she found fun though….?'
He stared at the box, he shook his head. He concentrated all his energy into his finger and touched the box. He felt himself become light and free. He loved this feeling.
He felt himself traveling down the wires and into the building. He smiled feeling himself zip through the wires in the building hopping from room to room until he got to where he needed to be.
The room was dark. He held up a finger, a taser like sound happened and a burst of light popped out of his fingers. He sighed and looked around, a bunch of filing cabinets filled the room. Laxus sighed and began opening filing cabinets. He searched for the one he was looking for, Aberdeen Solutions. He smiled when he found it.
At that moment the door unlocked. Laxus froze; he dropped the file and made himself disappear in a burst of light as the door opened.
The only thing he heard was screaming: "hey who turned on the lights!? Whose in here?"
He rushed out through the wires of the building and for extra safety he teleported five miles away from the building before landing.
He mentally cursed in his head as he did so. He didn't bring the file with him. What he had found was that Fineback had bought Aberdeen a shelf company 13 months ago. This one was just 1 of 37 other management companies that Fineback all dealt with.
He was now going to have to find a legal way to get those records but how? He thought as he landed on the ground. He shook his head as he walked away towards the guild.
Time had passed slowly now, Lucy sighed at the bar, she would have to go soon. She felt a pit in her stomach. She was dreading seeing Laxus after that scene with Natsu. But she was also trying to figure out why she cared.
The doors swinging open distracted her. 'Laxus?'
She looked over her shoulder, it was Lisanna. Lisanna looked giddy. Like she was on the edge of something.
"You ok?" Lucy asked as Lisanna got behind the bar. Lisanna laughed, it sounded a bit deranged. "Better than I have in a while."
Lucy smiled. "That's great! What happened?"
Lisanna laughed, refilling Lucy's glass with water. "We take you live to Huh? An Epiphany Show~Starring Me!" She said in a dramatic voice. "And my fucking epiphanies~Deep down in this spiritual shit, this thought knocked the shit outta me, we don't have to follow spirituality to the Ttttt! We literally have to do things that make us feel good. And I'm healing and I'm lucky to be where I'm at. And I'm more blessed to have someone letting me figure this out while I find my truth " Lisanna laughed crying. Lucy nodded, not quite understanding. Lucy wondered who this person was, she didn't want to be presumptuous and assume it was Bickslow, but was it Bickslow?
"Well I'm glad you're feeling better." Lucy said genuinely. Lisanna beamed, tears in her eyes. "Thanks Lucy. So that thing with Natsu-"
Lucy bit her lip. "I hope it doesn't-"
Lisanna shook her head. "It doesn't. I hope we can be friends." She said shakily.
Lucy was shocked. "Of course! Why wouldn't we be?"
Lisanna laughed, "because I loved Natsu and he chose you." Lisanna grasped at concepts, her hands making similar gestures.
Lucy blushed. "He really didn't choose me at the idea of dating me he-"
"I saw and heard." Lisanna said flatly.
"It was awkward, I feel bad he was put on the spot." Lucy sighed. Lisanna nodded.
"Same but not really." She said.
Lucy lifted an eyebrow. Lisanna sighed again. "I'm sad he was put on the spot he looked like a child scared. But honestly I think I needed to hear what he said. He chose you, and he never chose to be on a team with me when I was here. I think this is what I needed to head the right direction of healing for me."
Lucy nodded, before she could say anything though the rest of the guilds girls came running over to them.
Lucy smiled as they chatted, of course the girls wanted to know what Lisanna and Lucy thought of what happened. Lucy admired Lisanna for being strong enough to resist the other girls peer pressure. Lisanna remained tight lip, not going into much detail about the whole thing. Lucy on the other hand wasn't as strong, she bent to the will of Erza and Mira Jane rather quickly.
"I don't know. It felt like it wasn't that much closure wise. I got hopeful when he said he would choose me and then I felt like I had a chair knocked out from under me when he was asked about us dating-" Lucy twiddled her thumbs.
"Makes perfect sense to me." Cana slurred.
"So do you think this means he may realize if he has feelings?" Lucy asked, trying to tip-toe around it. She didn't even bother denying her feelings.
Mira shook her head. "I honestly don't know."
Lucy held her head, "love and feelings shouldn't be this complicated right?" Lucy whined.
At that Bisca snorted loudly.
Lucy was taken aback. "Did I say something funny?"
Bisca rolled her eyes. "Yeah, you said love wasn't complicated." She folded her arms.
Lucy pouted. "Well it's only ever complicated in the movies and books right?"
Bisca made a buzzer sound. "Anh! Wrong!"
Lucy stared at Bisca, who rolled her eyes again.
"I'm not saying it should be like world war one or complicated like politics or whatever but feelings, relationships, and love will always be complicated. It's never just and they lived happily ever after. It takes two to tango and you gotta both work at it. Al and I may be head over heels for one another but even we have our issues. There's a reason vows say through sickness and health and the good and bad times."
Lucy looked down at the bar, not knowing what to say to that.
At that moment Evergreen came running over. "Oh my gosh! Do I have some juicy gossip!" She squealed all of a sudden.
The rest of the ladies all looked at her. Evergreen launched into some story that involved Princess Hisui and her supposed new lover. Lucy shook her head listening to the story.
"Wouldn't that be something! Her and Arcadios! Caught smooching in the moonlight!" Evergreen squeaked.
Levy smiled. "Kinda romantic and a bit of a fairy tale for sure, the knight and the princess. He did offer to stay by her side the entire dragon invasion and when the spirit realm went kooky, and when she was turned into a rat by Irene! Now all we really need is the marriage!"
Lucy laughed, "well Toma will have to approve of it. But hopefully he would if that was the case between them-"
"What do you mean? He has to approve?" Cana slurred. "She's a big girl-" she hiccuped.
Lucy shook her head that's not how it all works. "Toma has to approve of him, he could one day rule the land by her side. And her marriage might be better used as an alliance-it's more complicated when you're a royal." Lucy winced thinking about her own intended prearranged marriage.
"That sucks!" Cana slurred. "Could you imagine me having to go to Gildarts to get laid or married." She shuddered.
Lucy laughed. "Well Toma isn't your typical king, so who knows. All I know is that Hisui doesn't just get to marry who she wants. Heck, she may not want to ever marry, that would mean losing a considerable amount of power. She might find it advantageous to keep whoever she truly loves as a lover and nothing more."
Erza frowned. "That sounds ridiculous, she would lose power if she married-"
Lucy winced, "welcome to a patriarchal society?"
Erza shook her head at that.
"Ok, but let's change the subject slightly to a fun thought!" Bisca squeaked. The girls stared at her.
"Can you imagine how much fun it would be to play that role- I, Princess Bisca order knight Alzack to get down on your knees and do my bidding! Now sexually please me!" Bisca drawled in a regal southern manner. Bisca laughed again as the other girls cracked up. "Wouldn't it be nice to boss around the boys like that?" Bisca sighed thinking about it.
Lisanna rolled her eyes. "You have Alzack that treats you like a queen, what more could you want?"
Bisca smiled mischievously at that. "I could think of a few things." She laughed.
Lisanna snorted.
"That would be interesting," Erza smiled. "Maybe it would make things less complicated. I force you to love me and serve me, and never talk back to me."
Lucy laughed, "something tells me that wouldn't work."
Erza laughed. "Maybe."
"See, Erza missed out. She was the princess and she had to be birthed by a dragon." Cana slurred. Erza stared at Cana, not sure what to say to that.
"Hmmm, she may have a point." Lisanna laughed. "Erza you could have had a harem! And men adore you, not to mention all the strawberry cake you could ever want."
Erza raised an eyebrow smiling, "that last part sounds better. But then again I don't know how wonderful sex is. I'm painfully inexperienced in that department, not to mention I've only ever wanted Jellal-"
"See, you could have forced him. Your prison sentence is to be my number one sex slave. Boom." Cana slurred.
"Hell at that point, might as well pardon him." Bisca laughed.
"Nah then he would have ran away!" Levy laughed. "She should just keep him as a prisoner."
"That's not how the whole princess thing works though. They can't sleep with whoever, it can be treason if she gets pregnant. But I did know of princesses and aristocrats who ordered around their serfs or peasants-" Lucy pointed out.
Mira's eyes lit up. "Did you say order around?"
Erza rolled her eyes. "Slow down there Mira I'm sure your dom side would love to hear this-"
"You're right I would." Mira winked. Erza laughed in response. Lisanna had a sinful look on her face, "I can say this, I wonder what a princess who was a mermaid would do with a sailor who was lost at sea perhaps-"
Cana smirked into her cup. "I like where this is going. Is Bickslow the sailor?"
Lisanna blushed slightly.
Lucy gasped. "So he is!" She blurted out!
"He is what?" Levy asked next to her.
Lisanna blushed but nodded at Lucy piecing together what she meant. Lucy sat there dumbfounded. "When did you and Bickslow start dating?" She asked.
Lisanna played with her hair. "We're not. It's complicated-"
"Complicated how?" Erza asked in a serious tone. "I had no idea you two were a thing."
Lisanna became defensive. "It's complicated but not like you and Jellal-"
Erza widened her eyes at that blushing. Lucy tuned them out though thinking about what Lisanna said earlier. "I have someone who is letting me find my inner truth…"
"Our sex life got exciting let's just say that."
Lucy tuned in again hearing that. "Wait-what?" She said loudly.
Everyone stared at her.
"Sorry-" Lucy blushed, she noticed the male guild members were now paying attention.
"No! I'm with Lu," Cana said. "How exciting?" She smiled deviously.
"Please!" Evergreen begged. "I don't want to know!"
"Tentacles." Lisanna said.
Cana spit out her wine hearing that. "I'm sorry what?" She choked. Everyone else looked shocked. Lucy wasn't sure but she thought she saw Evergreen puke.
Mira blinked slowly. "He used his dolls or?" She asked, scared. Not sure how much she wanted to know of her sisters sex life now.
"No like I was the squid creature and I got to put my tentacles in his mouth and up his-"
Evergreen hurling stopped Lisanna. They all turned to stare at Ever. "Are you ok?" Lisanna asked.
Evergreen only cried: no! Evergreen was shaking. "Can we please talk about anyone elses sex life please!" She begged, wiping her mouth.
Mira looked unimpressed. "Evergreen you're going to clean that up. You know that right?*
Evergreen looked disgustedly at the ground.
Lisanna shook her head laughing at everything.
Erza looked disturbed before chiming in with, "well I don't know who elses sex life we could talk about-"
"How about yours?" Evergreen offered as Mira handed her a bucket, mop and towel. Ever sighed, kicking off her heels.
Erza blushed. "I don't have one admittedly. I've only ever wanted Jellal like I said, ever since I was a little girl." She blushed. "I don't know what it's like to want someone else. And well he has never made a move to act on his feelings-"
"Well wait, Erza! Going back to the princess conversation. You're an actual princess! Can't you just force him!" Bisca joked around.
Erza smiled, shaking her head. "I'm not sure I have that power. That ended when my "father" and family fell out of power." She said amused.
Levy laughed. "Still can't hurt trying. The princess always gets what she wants right?" Levy teased, winking.
Erza blushed.
"Ooo! Tell him that he has to or you'll use hidden secret powers, Irene passed on to you and make a dragon eat him or Natsu and Gajeel eat him." Cana laughed.
Erza shook her head eating her cake she made magically appear. "Ah the princess and dragon cliche."
"Cliche?" Mira asked. "I don't remember a princess using a dragon to get sex in any fairy tale I read to my siblings."
Erza punched Mira in the arm who laughed. Mira only laughed in response.
"I meant just the Dragon and Princess theme, idea-" Erza explained.
Lucy sat there and thought about that. The whole princess and the dragon thing was over played in her opinion.
"Well maybe it's time we put the dragon to work taking care of the princess! We always read it guarding and being a villian, why can't it be helpful. Like using it's massive dick to-" Cana said in a sultry tone.
"Please stop!" Evergreen gasped looking horrified.
Cana laughed hysterically. "Don't tell me you haven't gotten freaky with Elfman in his monster form? A big thick monster dick ramming into your tiny-" Cana slurred.
Evergreen looked horrified blushing, but it was now Mira's turn to be sick.
Lucy winced. "I'm with Erza on this. Dragon and princess thing over done." She tried to change the subject. Mira shook the last fragments of her disgust at Cana's last words.
"You wouldn't want Natsu begging at your feet calling you Princess?" Mira teased.
Lucy blushed, she imagined Natsu doing what she had to say, and honestly that felt nice. She closed her eyes, trying to imagine it. But an image of Laxus popped into her head. Laxus kissing her feet, candle light lighting up the room, kissing her legs, a dragon promising to protect his princess. She blushed, her eyes popping open.
Cana cackled, "something is telling me you just had a hot little fantasy."
Lucy sputtered. Before she could respond, she heard Laxus call her. "Blondie you done with Lunch?" He called from upstairs.
'When did he get here?'
Lucy tried to calm down. "Yes!" She said, trying to keep her voice even.
Laxus cocked his head to the side. "Well then come on." He said walking away from the balcony. Lucy nodded, before she left she kicked Cana hard in the shins.
"Ouch! What was that for?" Cana hissed.
"For being a bad influence!" Lucy hissed before running away. When Lucy got upstairs Laxus looked pained. "Everything ok?" She asked.
Laxus stared at her intensely, "no. Let's get to work, I apparently need to return you to your partner as soon as possible."
Lucy looked down at the floor. "We can take our time, I want you to feel comfortable doing what you're doing. And besides-"
Laxus stared at her, eyebrows raised. Her voice climbed a few octaves as she said: "I also have been enjoying working with you."
Laxus felt the muscles in his back relax, "same." He said quietly.
Lucy and Laxus refused to look at one another. "Come on let's go start working. We've gotten a late start."
Lucy nodded, and followed him to his office.
Laxus and Lucy were working in silence. They kept on looking at one another when they thought no one was looking. Finally Laxus shook his head, he was sick of the silence. He didn't even sit in silence in his house. Laxus looked up at Lucy who was chewing on a pen.
"Do you mind if I put on some music?"
Lucy looked up startled. She didn't answer at first, taking a moment to register what he had asked. "No! That's fine! What did you want to listen to?"
"I don't know." Laxus chuckled. "I was going to let the shuffle gods choose."
Lucy laughed. Her laughter was cute. Her smile lit up the room. Laxus savored the moment. He smiled as he turned on some music when the first song came on he continued to smile. It was a cover of Kansas's Carry On My Wayward Son by Neoni, a sister act. He heard a couple of their songs and loved their covers.
When he looked up though his smile disappeared. Blondie looked embarrassed and horrified.
"Blondie you ok?" He asked, concerned.
Lucy stared at him. It was the song she had heard in her dream last night.
"Blondie if you don't like cover songs cause you're a purist-"
Lucy shook her head. "What?"
"You look horrified right now?" Laxus laughed.
Lucy shook her head, the coldness that settled in her body after hearing that song still lingered. 'it was a coincidence right she heard that song today on Laxus's sound pod, in a dream where she heard on his sound pod which she had no way of knowing it would be on there…'
"No! No! I'm fine!" She stammered. "What's a purist?" She asked.
Laxus smiled warily. Still put off by her horrified expression. "Someone who hates cover songs, only the original is the best it's sacrilege to listen to another version almost-
Lucy furrowed her brow, "no I don't think I'm a purist. But if you play any other version of Jolene besides Dolly Parton I'll throttle you."
Laxus lifted an eyebrow smiling. "So you're saying don't find that one right now?"
Lucy glared at him playfully. "Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying." At that moment her stomach growled. Lucy blushed, embarrassed.
Laxus laughed. He looked down at his desk. "By the way-" he bent down. Lucy watched him curiously. "I went to the store. And bought some more apples-"
Lucy was confused. "And?"
Laxus smiled, throwing a granny smith at her. Lucy caught it, she looked down at the green apple in her hand.
"You said granny smiths are your favorite right?"
Lucy felt her heart being squeezed, "yeah they are but-you really got some for me?"
Laxus chewed on a gala apple. "I figured I could be nice and keep a few around here for you." His eyes twinkled.
Lucy felt her heart skip a beat. She thought about the song and the apple and inevitably the dream from last night. Lucy shook her head trying to hide behind her hair. How she held that damn bag of apples tightly to her chest in her dream. She took small bites from the apple, as she worked in silence.
Laxus and Lucy's minds were drifting back to their previous nights dreams, and occasionally the work that was in front of them.
Finally their eyes locked. Laxus and Lucy stared at one another from across the desk. Lucy was blushing thinking about last night's dream and the one before that.
This was insane to her, she was in love with Natsu, she told herself. She was thinking about the reasons she liked Natsu, but now she was noticing all the little things about Laxus. But she really didn't know him, like she knew Natsu. And the little part of her that wanted to know him more, was growing. Something deep down felt right imagining Laxus in all of those dreams. But she wanted to know why? And why hadn't she ever considered this before until now? Does this all really work that strangely?
Laxus stared at her lips, as she licked them. He could smell her arousal. "Blondie is there something you wanna share?"
Lucy looked him dead in the eye. She wanted to be closer to him at the moment. "No." She said in a low voice.
Laxus lifted an eyebrow. "So you're ok?"
Lucy made a strangled sounding ahem, noticing how his muscles bulged out of his shirt. She remembered being held by them in her dream. How real it felt.
Laxus sighed and gave up. He was trying to see now how she was feeling. He was confused, he was concerned about how she was feeling after Natsu today. But here she was turned on driving him mad with how good she smelled. She got turned on when he handed her the apple and when the song came on… Did Kansas turn her on or what? He was confused.
Laxus and her worked in silence while the two of them waited for the other to speak. They worked in silence until finally he broke the ice.
"So that thing with Natsu-"
Lucy winced. "Yeah-"
"Seems like you finally got your answer."
Lucy rolled her eyes. "No I didn't. If anything I bet he didn't understand the question. Yes he likes snuggling with me but does he want to sleep-sleep with me. I don't know." She slammed the stamp thing down a little hard on the envelope.
Laxus stared at her, "well he chose you over Lisanna."
"But you forget-" Lucy said, putting down the stamp.
Laxus continued to stare.
"He thought it was mean to choose. He may have chosen me. But it doesn't mean he's in love with me." She whispered.
Laxus swallowed, he was bothered by this. And for reasons he found stupid.
"I think the point is, I'm still looking for my knight-" Lucy laughed.
Laxus looked at Lucy. His eyes boring into hers. Lucy was taken aback. What made Laxus say this, he didn't know. But he said it; "Did you want a dragon or a knight?"
"Why would I want a dragon?" Lucy asked, her eyes never leaving his.
"What fun do knights get to have?" Laxus asked, his lips turned upwards.
"But the dragon is always slain at the end."
Laxus stared at her, "not the ones that are more powerful. And besides, dragons are always meant to serve and be by the princess side. The knight, doesn't he always have to leave because the kingdom or someone needs him? Or did I get my fairy tales wrong?"
Lucy thought about that. She didn't know what to say. "Not if the knight truly loves her. The dragon-
Laxus smiled, "seems to me no one asked the dragon it's feeling on the matter." He chewed on the end of a pencil as he said that.
Lucy didn't know what to say to that. She nodded and returned back to working. She heard his chair rock backwards finally. When she finally looked to see if he was staring at her still, she sighed internally; relieved he wasn't. They slowly forced the awkwardness between them to disappear. They worked nonstop until dinner.
Lucy and Laxus were looking over a purchase order for the bar. They lingered next to one another.
Laxus's breath was tingling in her ear. She shuddered as she felt this odd sensation go down her side. Her vagina was humming and felt warm. She felt warm, Laxus pinned her between both of his arms. Lucy tried to not stare at them. His large manly looking arms.
The thought of him holding her in a tight embrace like he had in her dreams, made her feel achingly empty. She ached for the feeling of giddiness she felt rubbing her pubic bone against his body.
Laxus was surprised to hear her softly moan. He looked down and forward a bit, so he could see her face look torn. She was staring at one of his arms.
"Everything ok?" He teased bending down further, his lips now inches from her ears. Laxus held his head there for a moment, taking her scent in. She smelled what he would describe as a toasty warm smell, and vanilla, along with something sweet.
"You smell good by the way-" he whispered. He was gripping the table. He could smell her wanting him. It was all made worse by the fact he wanted her.
"I do?" She whispered.
"Like strawberries and some perfume-" He heard Lucy's heart thumping in his ears.
"Thank you-" she said in a strangled manner. She could feel the heat coming from his body.
"No problem." He whispered.
Lucy turned to look at him. Their eyes locked again. Lucy stared at him, her mouth parted as if she wanted to speak. But she didn't know what to say.
Finally the communications lacrima began to ring. Lucy and Laxus jumped realizing how close they were to one another. Lucy blushed and hid behind her hair as Laxus reluctantly walked away to answer.
Lucy felt her chest tighten and stomach sink the minute he walked away. She held her chest. She thought about that intense moment they shared. She watched Laxus answer the call. Her stomach flipped while she missed him near her.
Lucy felt guilty. It was all too much, the apples, the song, that moment... It was all too much she decided, after feeling confused over her own feelings. Lucy took a deep breath before excusing herself claiming she should call it a night and went downstairs after he got off the call.
Laxus stared after her, as she left. He looked around his office and hated that it seemed more empty now that she was gone, even if they worked mostly in silence today.
After a few hours, Lucy was saying goodnight to everyone when she noticed Laxus's office light on. She took a deep breath in. She marched up the stairs. To her surprise, he wasn't in his office. But at his table. Well she dubbed it his table, before banishment he would sit at that exact spot feet on the table. He would listen to music then, now he was looking through some old books.
"Whatcha doing there Sparky?" She teased feeling better now after some space from him. Laxus looked up, he looked faintly dazed until his eyes narrowed. His eyes became clear. "Did you just call me Sparky?" He was annoyed.
"Yeah. I kinda like it." She said leaning against the table. Laxus looked up. "You're lucky I have a thousand other things to focus on," he pointed a finger at her. It sparked a bit, "or you would get it."
Lucy smiled and grabbed said finger, Laxus's eyes narrowed like an annoyed cat. He sat back a little. Lucy felt a little embolden seeing him off guard.
"If you haven't noticed," she whispered in his ear. "I'm not afraid of you anymore."
Laxus blinked. Her hair wafted around her face. His thick beautiful eye lashes were fluttering. Lucy smiled, she moved around him placing a hand on either side. Which was difficult apparently. Him being so broad shouldered and all. She thought about her dream last night where she struggled having her legs hooked around his shoulders. She felt all the blood rush to her face and her vagina hummed practically in happiness.
"So whatcha up to?" She asked, trying to ignore her arousal. Laxus looked at her hands on either side of him. He lifted an eyebrow. "Stop that." He said pointedly.
"Stop what?" She asked laughing.
Laxus looked annoyed, and something else she would describe as embarrassed. "This. Whatever this arm thing is." He said
Lucy smiled. "You do this all the time!"
"And it's ok when I do it!" Laxus laughed. "This is not."
"But but!" Lucy stamped her feet backing away.
"Consent is important." He teased. Laxus's lips turned upwards thinking about that sex dream when she said that exact phrase. Lucy also remembered it and blushed harder.
"So what are you looking at?" Lucy grudgingly walked away. Laxus noticed her frown. He watched her intently.
"I managed to look at some documents involving a firm Macao used during the Skip."
Lucy nodded, as she went around the table to face him. "And?" She asked.
"They stole from us."
Lucy's eyes widened. "That's not good." She sat down in the chair in front of him. Laxus watched her, his eyes staring at her exposed neck. Lucy noticed this and stared at him with a look of faint amusement and shyness. She coughed, regaining his focus again.
He coughed, "you know those surge charges you get on your bills. And for the most part you just let it go and pay it."
Lucy rolled her eyes. "You realize who you're talking to right?"
Laxus cocked his head.
"Everything with limited supply is subject to surge pricing. Surge pricing just means that a given good or service is responsive to supply shortages. People tend to get riled up over pricing changes, but price is really just a 'filler' variable that brings supply & demand imbalances into equilibrium. A price that's too high will lead to excess supply, and prices that are too low will lead to shortages. Daddy did it with the railroad-"
"Oh so your dad is the reason I pay more for-"
Lucy glared playfully. "Only person who gets to speak ill-will about him is me!" She said stretching.
Laxus chuckled. "Well Fineback Son and Co is doing the same with us." He said looking back down at the page before him. "Except theirs are all scams."
Lucy rolled her eyes, "pretty sure some of daddy's were too."
Laxus looked up and smiled at Lucy. "Old man and you really didn't get along huh?"
Lucy shook her head. "I ran away from home, and he paid a guild to destroy ours and told them to do whatever was necessary remember?"
Laxus swallowed, his throat growing dry. Lucy also looked down. "You're not the only one blonde with Daddy issues." She said quietly.
Laxus looked down. "Yeah, well I won't get into my trauma but if you need someone to talk to-" he continued to stare at the paper.
Lucy smiled, "how's that fair?" She asked.
"Huh?" Laxus asked looking up.
Lucy used her hands to express herself. "I share but you don't?" She laughed.
Laxus looked at her with a peculiar stillness. "I don't talk." He said finally.
"Well we'll have to change that." Lucy said.
Laxus stared at her, he didn't know what to make of this. He never talked about his old man, ever. Not even to his team. God knows he stopped talking to his grandfather years ago about it.
Lucy reaching out grabbing his hand distracted him from his thoughts. "I'm not asking right now. Just an anecdote here and there maybe about you too."
Laxus nodded slowly unsure.
"So tell me more about this scam. What do you need?"
Lucy couldn't help but smile as she saw Laxus look visibly relieved at her changing the subject.
"I need a legal reason to get those files, without saying I saw those files." He said carefully.
Lucy bit her lip, Laxus tried to not notice it. She did that a lot, dream land and real life.
"Do you need them for court? Or just need them?" She asked.
Laxus leaned back. One muscular arm now hung off the chair. Lucy stared at it, thinking about her dream where they were wrapped around her. Laxus noticed her stares, while pleased she was checking him out, he wanted her to focus. He held his finger up, a quick burst of his magic flared from his fingertips. The sound of a taser going off was heard and jolted Lucy back to reality.
She blushed. "You said you already saw them?" She looked away from his arms and now his fingers.
Laxus wasn't following. "Yeah?"
"So you have them!" She laughed. She leaned over, and tapped the side of his head. "In here." Her hands brushed against his hair. It was soft much like in her dream.
"Ok-" he still didn't follow.
Lucy smiled, and leaned back. "Yes, so you dictate, I'll write." She said.
Laxus was surprised. "What? You would do that for me?" He asked, surprised.
"Yes." Lucy said sitting down. She grabbed a pen and paper. "They stole from us. Fairy Tail. Which I'm a part of. Now go."
"Ok." Laxus said, leaning over. "With the party-"
Lucy began writing, she struggled to keep up with him but she did it. "For which is lawfully implied." Laxus stopped, "I think that was it." He was now pacing.
"Thank God!" Lucy laughed, her hand cramping. She rubbed her hand. Laxus looked over, his arms trapping her. Lucy smiled, biting her lip.
Laxus was looking it over, she giggled. Laxus looked at her. "What?" He asked.
Lucy looked him in the eyes. "You can do it but not me?"
Laxus looked down, his arms on either side of her. She looked smug. Laxus looked at her fondly, but it was diluted with annoyance. "Yes."
Lucy shook her head.
"By the way great job Blondie." He held out his hand. Lucy high fived it. "It's Lucy." She said stubbornly.
Laxus's eyes were lit up. "Prefer Blondie."
Lucy huffed, but her annoyance melted away. Laxus looked at Lucy with something like admiration and respect.
Lucy was caught off guard. "What?" She asked.
"Your mind is just incredible." He said.
Lucy blushed. She returned the look back at him then in that moment.
"What?" Laxus asked, stunned himself.
Lucy blushed pushing back her hair. "Your mind is incredible as well." She said with a pretty shyness.
Laxus scoffed. "Of course it is."
Lucy laughed, "you're so vain and cocky." She laughed.
"And you're not?" He teased. "I see the way you flaunt around here. You know what you're doing every time you show that figure of yours and that brain of yours." He said leaning into Lucy, at such an angle he could bury himself into the crook of her neck.
Lucy blushed. "Yeah well it's all useless. It's always for Natsu most of the time. And Natsu never notices."
Laxus scowled. He backed off, Lucy flinched. The air was now different. Laxus was no longer in the mood to be flirty. "Well I already said he's an idiot." He walked away, putting distance between them. Lucy looked down, now realizing she ruined a moment.
"Hey!" Mira called walking up the stairs. "What are you guys doing here?" She asked.
Lucy looked over at Laxus, who shook his head.
"Going home." Laxus said. He grabbed his stuff from the table. And walked down the stairs.
Lucy took a shaky breath in. Exhaling as she stood up.
"Lucy? Everything ok?" Mira asked. She looked at Laxus's retreating form and Lucy's.
"Yeah. Everything is fine." Lucy said walking down stairs. "I think I just need to go home and get some sleep." She said leaving Mira to lock up, feeling rather down.

Pconklin: You're probably wondering where your review was...it's last cause I'm a spaz and i can't type the response without ( I put a p in without just now) mistyping everything. I've been dying to answer your review. I AM USING YOUR IDEA IN MULTIPLE WAYS! AHHHH I"M SO EXCITED! I could totally use that! and that moment would be so swoon worthy! So I came up with this idea that you'll have to wait 6 more night chapters ( I think I counted right) for when she realizes THAT and I got a big big moment in my head that will be the other half of you idea for later chapters so thank you! You may have prolonged the story even I got so many ideas after reading your review I'm going to have to narrow it down now lol If you got others let me know at this point XD
Love,
Madaleine
