Chapter 2
A few days later...
Laxus was bored. He was sitting at a table on the second floor in the guild with his team, his hulking form weighing heavily on his chair. Evergreen and Bickslow were arguing about what, he didn't care. Freed had disappeared from the table a while ago, he assumed he went to look for a job for them. Closing his eyes, he sat back in his chair and listened to the music on his headphones to try and drown them out.
"Hey! We're back!"
He scowled his eyebrow twitching in annoyance. Out of all the voices to flow right through the music and into his ears it was hers. He kept his eyes shut, refusing to look over the banister, fearing that if he did he'd be back under that stupid spell. He gritted his teeth.
Me? Scared to look at some bimbo? Gods how fucking annoying. It's not like she's even that fucking good looking.
Liar.
Ugh the voice is back. Ever since they bumped into each other the other day he had a strange sensation in his chest and the voice in his head kept grumbling at him about how she is his. He couldn't deny it, he was drawn to her. He grunted, upset that his body was having such a reaction to some dumb blonde he ran into. He was Laxus Fucking Dreyar for Gods sake. He had a different woman on his arm every night.
And that's the way it's going to stay.
"Freed!" He called.
"Yes Laxus?" Freed appeared at his side in an instant, sitting next to the larger man.
"Have you found a job for us?" He questioned monotonously. The further I am from her the better.
"Yes Laxus! I have found an acceptable job for our team and have already informed Mira that we would be undertaking it." Freed turned to the others to give them the details of their next job. "It will take us a few hours to arrive at our location and seeing as it is an S-Class job, it may take up to three days before we complete it, so please pack accordingly. We will need to meet up at the train station at 8am tomorrow!" He said concisely. Laxus grunted, focusing back on his music, satisfied that they were leaving first thing in the morning.
Bickslow jumped up from his seat, done with his argument with Evergreen and the current job briefing, and smiled wide, his tongue lolling out of his mouth when he caught sight of a beautiful girl on the first floor.
"Look at that Bossman! The girl with Natsu! Man she's so hot! I didn't even know we got a new guild member. Think she's got some hot kinks?" Bickslow was practically drooling, looking down below at her curves in appreciation.
Laxus knew who Bickslow was eyeing. He warned himself not to glance over but once her sweet scent drifted up to him, he inhaled sharply, his stormy eyes scanned over the first floor to where Natsu had just been before initiating a fight with Gray per usual, and he saw her. Her blonde hair flowing down onto her shoulders with some locks pulled into a red ponytail on the side of her head. She was dressed in a pink tank top with black triangles coming across the top and black straps. He nearly drooled as his eyes followed her curves down to the short black skirt she was wearing, her keys and whip hanging from her sides on a gray belt, exposing her long legs down to her strappy red heels. He tore his gaze away, his heart pounding. The thoughts filling his head were sexual in nature and had him fighting with his mind to keep his body under control. His eyes cut to his friend and sure enough Bickslow was salivating over Lucy.
My Lucy.
He internally groaned but he also couldn't help but feel something deep in his chest at that deep grumble of words. He looked over her outfit again. Just like the other day it showed off lots of her creamy soft skin and her lovely curves. Does she always dress that way? It's no wonder Bix immediately noticed her... Those sweet lovely curves... Her beautiful smile-WAIT! Gods what am I even thinking! He sat up straighter and couldn't keep the glare off his face. He was losing control again. Fuck that. I need to get this shit under control... Maybe if I bang her I'll get rid of this stupid feeling and that fucking annoying voice!
"No way Bix. She's mine." Laxus smirked, already thinking of his plan of action, while Bickslow peered over at him with a pout, not noticing Laxus's internal struggle.
"But I saw her first!" Bickslow whined. Laxus barely reigned in the growl he almost let loose at his good friend. Instead he smirked, his expression cocky.
"Actually, I've already met her." He grumbled, stealing another glance her way. Bickslow turned back to Laxus in shock, and then he thought he noticed a change in his leader. He looked from Laxus to the new girl and finally shook his head smiling... Nah. He couldn't be!
"Alright Bossman! Maybe after you're done with her I can take her for a ride?" Bickslow laughed and Evergreen hit him in the back of the head with her fan. "Ow! Ever!" He held his head, looking at her in annoyance but ultimately knew he deserved it. Laxus was glad she did it. The moment Bickslow had made that comment, he was up out of his chair, murder in his eyes. As soon as her fan smacked his helmet clad head he snapped out of it. What Bickslow said had caused a surge of anger to come over him and once again he didn't understand why. Why was he having such strong urges towards this one girl? He felt like he was going mad, his mind and body at war.
SHE'S MINE!
This time the voice was a roar in his head, obviously enraged about another male taking an interest in her. He sat back down quietly and quickly schooled his features back to an uninterested look before they noticed the change in him.
However, Freed, sitting quietly next to Laxus and seemingly forgotten by the other teammates, studied his friend closely, not saying a word as he watched the display of anger Laxus showed when Bickslow made such a crude comment about a fellow guild member. He peered over at the blonde girl in interest.
"Both of you are fucking pigs. I'm leaving to get ready for tomorrow. See ya." She huffed and walked down the stairs and out of the guild leaving the boys on her team behind.
"Uh I too would like to prepare for our journey tomorrow morning!" Freed said jumping up from next to Laxus. "I will see you both tomorrow at 8am!" He peeked over at Bickslow "Sharp." He said sternly.
"What?" Bickslow said, pretending to sound hurt. Freed shook his head and strode towards the exit of the guild, glancing once more at the new girl before disappearing out the door.
With Lucy...
After they arrived from their job Natsu and Lucy split up, Natsu to fight with Gray, and her to go sit at the bar. She plodded up to the bar and sat down heavily. She was still upset about how she didn't get paid after all the work they put into the job they just finished. She sighed. Mira, noticing Lucy's demeanor, came over to her and passed Lucy her favorite: strawberry milkshake. Lucy beamed at the sweet treat and she sat up straighter, excitement shown on her face.
"Thanks Mira." She smiled gratefully and took a sip, moaning as the sweet flavor of strawberries hit her tongue. "Ah that's good." Mira smiled and leaned over the counter resting her elbows on the bar with her head cradled in her hands. Lucy saw a glint in Mira's eyes and gulped.
"So how was the job you and Natsu took? Any juicy details?" Mira asked a little too sweetly, watching Lucy's face intently.
Completely oblivious to what Mira was hinting at, Lucy answered honestly with; "Well the job was supposed to be finding a book and destroying it but as it turns out the book was actually written by the client's father. His father used magic to cover the true message of the book and when we returned the book to the client it changed, rearranging the letters into a book written from the father to his son. It was quite an interesting job for sure. I just wish we had gotten paid!" she sighed and took another sip of her milkshake. "But I am glad we were able to help the man regardless of the payment."
Mira nodded politely as Lucy told her about the job. Once she was finished recalling her adventure Mira spoke. "I see. Well how did you like teaming up with Natsu? This is the second time you've gone off with him... Do you enjoy spending time with him Lucy?" She smirked with that glint back in her eyes. Lucy nearly spit her milkshake out. She gulped loudly and gaped at Mira.
"Are you suggesting that I like Natsu? As in ROMANTICALLY?!" Lucy asked incredulously. She glanced over at Natsu, who was battling a naked Gray, and while she did think he was pretty cute, she wasn't interested. She felt eyes on her and turned her attention up to the second floor, to the grumpy hunk eyeing her from over the banister and her heart sped up as their eyes locked, chocolate on stormy gray. She saw him smirk as a blush made its way onto her face.
IT'S HIM! He's a member of Fairy Tail?! She had to force her eyes away and she quickly turned back to her milkshake, her face turning a darker shade of red as she thought about the other day. Maybe this is a good thing! I can finally find out his name. Maybe we could even go out sometime. Or even go on a job together! Mira noticed her flushed face and how quickly Lucy turned around in her seat. Mira stood up straight and clasped her hands together in excitement.
"Little pink-haired, brown-eyed babies!" Mira squealed with hearts in her eyes.
"WHAT?!" Lucy's shrill squeak rivaled Mira's as she looked at her in complete shock.
"Geez Luce! Stop squealing! You're hurting my ears!" Natsu yelled from where he and Gray were fighting. The blush spread from her face down her body in disbelief.
Oh Gods that's right! He can hear really well... EHH?! How much of that did he hear?! Gods Mira is crazy. I need to get out of here. She finished her milkshake as quick as she could, because she certainly wasn't NOT going to finish her favorite treat. She stood up from her seat, giving Mira a nervous smile and wave and quickly made her exit out of the guild.
Finally able to calm her frazzled nerves from Mira's questioning and Mystery Man's appearance at the guild she headed down the streets towards her new apartment. She groaned, tilting her head back to look at the sky and caught sight of the telltale signs that a storm was coming. She just made it to her door as rain pattered down, narrowly missing her due to the slight protection the arch above her doorway made. She started to unlock the door when she suddenly felt that someone was standing behind her. She turned around and gasped when her eyes made contact with stormy gray.
"Hey Blondie."
