Thank you for waiting! Any ideas are welcome! (Especially with romantic scenes)
"Um do you know where I live? Natsu said something about an apartment but I don't know where it is" she told me.
Oh this is the perfect opportunity!
Mira's POV
"Unfortunately your apartment was sold but the items that were precious to you, your spirits took. Why don't you and Laxus go and look for another apartment? Oh but you'll need money of course! Why don't you ask him if you can stay with him for the night? He has a big house and spare rooms for his team. You trust him so he can take you on a mission tomorrow!" I suggested. My ulterior motive was, of course, to make them a couple but she didn't need to know that. Even though lots of people have forgiven Laxus for what he did there are many who are still frightened of him and Lucy is very forgiving so even if she did remember she would probably be shocked that he helped her but grateful to him and wouldn't reject his friendship or more. They are truly the perfect pair! Mira you are a genius! There should've been two of you then there would be more couples and therefore more cute little babies.
"Do you know where he went?" Lucy asked. Yay! Plan is in motion!
"He's upstairs" I told her.
Their babies will be so cute! I'll make sure that they're spoilt! I will make sure to be the best godmother! If it's a girl it must have blonde hair and Lucy's eye shape but Laxus' eye colour…
Lucy's POV (Mira is in dreamland)
I walked upstairs but not before I dodged a table that was thrown by Elfman who was then hit by Natsu and Gray and went flying into Loke's foot. I saw Laxus sitting at a table in the corner with his team. I walked up to them. Bickslow was checking his totems (he got a bit offended when I called them dolls), Evergreen was looking through a magazine and Laxus was just sitting there, eyeing everyone.
"Hello everyone" I said. They stopped doing their own thing to greet me.
"What's wrong Lucy?" Evergreen asked me.
"I don't know where to stay" I told them. I must remember to ask my spirits what they are looking after.
"Well I'm staying at Laxus' along with Bicks and Freed. I'm sure you can come" she told me.
"Sure thing, there's plenty of room" he grunted.
"Really, thank you very much! I'll go on a mission tomorrow and go get an apartment afterwards. Erza told me about fairy hills so maybe I'll get a room there" I exclaimed happily.
"You can come on a mission with us if you want Lucy-san" Freed offered after confirming with Laxus.
"Are you positive? I don't want to hold you back. I haven't trained in ages so I'm probably not the most skilled at the moment" I said worriedly. I haven't fought in ages. If I was found shackled to a wall and was missing for that long I doubt that I have trained recently.
"If you that worried about it you can train with us, the reason they're all coming over is because today's one of the days that we train. You can tag along with the team if you're ok with that" Laxus told me while still observing the guild.
"Thank you very much! I shall train hard so that I don't hold anyone back" I said with determination.
"It's no problem cosplayer, we'll help you with your training" Bickslow told me with his tongue hanging out as usual. I smiled at him and thanked him once again for his kindness.
"We'll leave in a few minutes" Laxus told everyone. We all nodded and I left to go tell Mira the good news.
"Mira, Laxus says I can stay with him and his team" I told her. I saw her give a creepy smile and a strange gleam in her eyes but when I looked again it was gone making me think I imagined it.
"Lucy, we're leaving now" Evergreen came to tell me, I said my goodbyes and left with everyone. My eyes were droopy and slowly filling with sleep. I guess trying to remember can take a lot out of you.
"If you're tired you should go to sleep early" I heard Laxus tell me. I felt a bit embarrassed because I didn't know he was watching me.
"But I have to train" I mumbled.
"If you're tired nothing is going to stick in your brain" Freed told me.
"Fine, you win" I muttered, I was a little disappointed in myself for giving in. We arrived at a big house just outside Magnolia after a short while.
"Come on Lucy, you can borrow some of my pyjamas" Evergreen told me. I smiled and followed her. In the end I was wearing a light green night gown. I was grateful to Laxus and his team for helping me. Evergreen promised to take me clothes shopping after the mission tomorrow. I slept in the same room as Evergreen and quickly drifted off.
When I woke up in the morning I was a bit discombobulated. It took me awhile to actually wake up. Evergreen had just gotten out of the bathroom.
"Good morning, I trust you slept well?" she greeted me.
"Yes, very well thank you" I mumbled sleepily. I was not at full alert. I was really thirsty so I went to the kitchen not caring that I was still in my (or evergreens) pyjama's. Laxus and Bickslow were in t6he kitchen. They stared at me as I went to the cupboard to get a glass and then to the sink. You can't blame them, Evergreens clothes aren't exactly appropriate but I was still grateful to have something to wear. I then drank my water and left without a word. I think they were shocked…
When we were all ready we went to the guild, which was already in shambles and it was only eight o'clock in the morning. We went to the mission board and Freed picked a mission and I sat down at the bar next to Gray who looked distinctly… soaked and extremely exhausted. I decided that I didn't want to know why. But I could have sworn that someone was glaring at me.
While Laxus went to talk to his grandfather Mira gave me a Lime milkshake which I found out that I really liked it. Gray and I talked and he wished me luck on my mission before a table hit him and he went off to punish Natsu before even checking if it was Natsu who threw the table.
Laxus came back and we decided to walk through the forest to get to the town we needed to. It was only in the next town over so we saw no need to take the train. Laxus looked really happy about that. I wonder why.
We headed out to the forest with Freed and I absorbed in a conversation about books. This made oii9Bickslow roll his eyes at us.
"So what's the mission?" Evergreen asked
"It's a simple mission, all we have to do is find an amulet that has no special qualities but the person who requested the mission lost the amulet in Hargeon town. It apparently has sentimental value to him" Freed informed us.
Since Hargeon town was just across the forest we saw no sense in taking the train. Laxus looked relieved at this. Maybe he prefers walking.
"What does this amulet look like Freed?" I asked him. Freed handed me the mission poster. There was a picture with a description of the amulet. It was a fancy; it had a diamond shaped base. The base consisted of detailed swirls and was gold and in the centre there was a red ruby.
"It looks quite valuable, someone probably picked it up. Maybe we should split up. Bickslow and Evergreen can check to see if it's still on the ground, Laxus and I should go to check the pawn shops and Freed could ask around to see if anyone has any information" I suggested.
"That's a really good plan, how did you come up with that?" Freed asked me.
"Well, Bickslow could use his babies to search and evergreen could fly to search. Freed is less likely to intimidate people if he questions them. And Laxus and I could split the pawn shops and jewellery stores between us" I explained.
"We'll go with that plan, no we're nearly there, let's go and meet the person who requested the request" Laxus said.
As we walked in to this town I had a strange Image of a boat on its side and something pink dragging me but I ignored it.
After meeting the employer we split up into our groups.
"Should we split up?" I asked Laxus. He shook his head.
"No, it's safer to stick together" he simply stated. He's not a man that likes to talk is he? Oh well, this is a chance to get to know him better!
Laxus's POV
In truth I don't want to leave her alone. I feel a bit protective over her, which is a feeling I don't normally have. I hope that when she remembers what happened she won't push me away. Maybe this mission is an opportunity to let her get to know me better?
this is technically not a completed chapter but I thought that you guys had waited long enough so I'll continue it in the next chapter. I'm sorry about the wait I just started at WITS and its kind of a lot of work.
