Juvia casts a spell that connects you to your soulmate for 14 days in your dreams, the catch? It's sex dreams. 14 days of sex dreams. Lucy and Laxus get caught up in the spell along with other guild mates. Lucy thinks she's in love with Natsu, so why is she now having sex dreams about Laxus? Lucy and Laxus are now faced with the task of working together in the day time and having crazy sex dreams at night. But hey what's a couple of sex dreams going to do?

NOTES:

These are the first few chapters.

No Natsu bashing

Edgy and light hearted (I hope)

And smut lots of smut

Lucy was scared she was running for her life. The forest was bright and sunny. It was even cool. But she would have traded the bitter cold or the hottest muggiest temperatures she could ever think of than what she was dealing with.

She heard his footsteps behind her. Why was he here of all things?

Lucy felt a stitch in her side. She screamed as she fell landing harshly in the soft dirt beneath her.

"Ah…!" She screamed.

She heard a tree branch snap behind her. She screamed again when she saw the man, his tall imposing figure towering above her. He smiled looking down at her.

"Finally, Blondie you're all mine." Laxus Dreyar said as he pounced on her.

Several hours before:

Earlier today it was bright and sunny. A rather normal day. Except, it's the most vanilla of days that can start out the wildest adventures. And that's true for Fairy Tail mages.

Down a dark street walked a young blue haired mage was walking. Juvia Locksar was trying to be as unnoticeable as possible. She was in a certain out of the way corner of the city.

Ahead of her was a suspicious-looking magic shop. It looked decrepit and ugly. She opened the little red door.

She took a deep breath in. As she walked in, she saw her. A former colleague named Maya. She had dark brown hair, a round chubby face. She was petite though, where Juvia was curvy, Maya was straight as a board. She had on a green coat with a red velvet hood covering her face.

"Hey Maya." Juvia called, she could hear the smile in her voice.

Maya looked up from her potion, and smiled, Juvia right off the bat, she could tell, time had been good to her. "I see you've been well since our days in Phantom."

Juvia laughed. "Something like that. I'm so glad you contacted me!"

Maya smiled. "Me too. I miss you. I even miss Gajeel."

Juvia laughed. "Now I know you've lost it."

Maya smiled. "Maybe so. But tell me. What have I missed." She said reaching out to her friend.

Juvia sat in the chair, and began to tell Maya all about her adventures and life in Fairy Tail. When she got to the subject of Gray, the water mage became adorably bashful. Maya listened with a considerable degree of patience. That was one of Maya's strengths, she was a listener. She always listened to Juvia back in Phantom about her "failure of a Love Life."

"So you want him to notice you?" Maya asked, adjusting her weight. Her butt had gone numb.

Juvia nodded. "Sorta. We were living together during the separation."

"Well what happened?" Maya asked.

Juvia launched into the guilds disbandment. During that time they were together but then he left. Maya instantly disliked the man, even if it was all in the sake of going under cover.

"Oh Juvia! I love you." She grabbed her friend's hand. "But are you sure he loves you?"

"What do you mean?" Juvia gasped. "He killed himself so he wouldn't hurt me during the Alvarez War!"

Maya bit her lip. "I just hate that he's made you wait. Sorry." She waved her hands in a sue me gesture.

Juvia laughed. "I appreciate that. I wish I could get an answer from him too. Like if there was a way that I would know he felt the same or something a verbal confirmation. I know he died so he wouldn't kill me but- Right now he's fighting something. He wouldn't kiss me or-"

Maya thought that over. "What if there was a way we could know?"

That got Juvia's attention. "But how?" She asked.

"Well I have this spell. It's worked well over the past few years in helping couples realize their feelings-"

Juvia gasped. She was excited, "what is it!?"

Maya waved her over, "come! We have a potion to make!" Maya was smiling. It made her look mischievous, which in a way she was.

Juvia hesitated. "Is this legal?"

Maya stopped, "well I've never been arrested for it." She said thinking about it. Juvia laughed, "that doesn't instill confidence."

Maya giggled. "Do you wanna make the potion or not?"

Juvia bit her lip but nodded.

"Besides it's harmless! What could go wrong!" Maya laughed, leading Juvia to the back of her shop.

A few hours later, Maya and Juvia were completing the spell.

"So what does it do?" Juvia asked, crushing some herbs.

Maya was carefully measuring out the Voles blood. "What it does is it connects you to your soulmate and your soul mate to you."

Juvia gasped. "A love potion!? Those are illegal!"

Maya winced, "it's not a love potion. It connects the two souls in their dreams. By basically adding these ingredients here." She pointed to the certain list of ingredients on the page in the book. "It will connect you sexually. So basically you will be having sex with your soulmate, but in your dreams."

Juvia lifted an eyebrow.

"Dumb. I know." Maya said pouring in the Voles Blood. "But it works! Mainly use it for customers who come to me in some Love Triangle, but eh." She waved her hands. She looked at the book. "Go to that jar over there!" Maya said critically, staring at the book. She was pointing to a shelf behind her.

Juvia was confused. "What are we adding?"

"Three coins from a dead man's pocket!" Maya smiled brightly. Juvia nodded slowly and walked over to the shelf to get the ingredient.

Also earlier that day!

"Do you think he will like this outfit?" Lucy said looking down at her outfit? Lucy was sitting at the bar. She had come in early hoping to catch Natsu, and ordered him some food and was now chatting with Mira.

She had on an oversized white knitted sweater with a wide v neck. One side hung off her shoulder showing off her lacy white bralette. It had flowers all over the lace. She had on ripped light washed skinny jeans. She had her dark brown belt around her waist. A necklace that consisted of several rose gold chains and matching bracelets hung on her wrists and neck. While beige pointed pumps tied the whole look off. Her hair was styled in a messy bun today. Over all Lucy Heartfilia looked hot as fuck, if all the male and even female (she saw them too) checking her out was any indication.

Mira smiled deviously, wiping down the bar. "I think Natsu will like the outfit so much he'll take you in his arms and make passionate love to you in the middle of the guild hall so I can have my pink hair brown eyed babies sooner!"

Lucy choked on her drink. She was careful to spit into her hand. So she wouldn't get it on her outfit. "Mira!"

Mira laughed. "Oh come on! Don't tell me that's not why you wore the outfit." She stopped wiping down the bar.

Lucy blushed. "I just want him to notice! Say I'm cute! Sexy! Something!" Lucy protested.

Mira bit her lip. "Lucy you should not need that validation-"

Lucy rolled her eyes. "Before you go in that kind of big sister tangent. I want my crush to say I'm cute! I know I look good and feel good. Just want my crush to say it."

Mira rolled her eyes. "That's good you know that. It's good you have that high of an opinion of yourself." Mira teased.

Lucy stuck her tongue out at Mira. The older mage just giggled in response. "Honestly though," Mira said looking more serious. "Lucy you don't need his validation. Lucy I've never seen him do anything like that though."

"But!"

"No buts!" Mira replied, drying a mug.

"I just want him to think I'm cute!"

"No, you want him to one day, wake up, and realize he's madly in love with you. And make some spectacular gesture of love." She waved the towel in Lucy's face.

"Would you please keep it down! I don't want everyone to know my crush!" Lucy hissed.

Mira was confused. "It's supposed to be a secret?"

Lucy was shocked. "Well...yes!" Lucy said slamming her fists down.

Mira was shocked. "But everyone knows."

"No they don't!" Lucy argued.

Mira frowned. She saw Evergreen walking by. "Hey Ever!"

Ever stopped and turned around. "Yes?"

"Lucy's crush on Natsu?" Mira asked. "Everyone knows?"

Evergreen nodded and looked at Lucy. "It's true. Everyone knows."

Lucy became the color of a tomato as Ever walked away. Before she could say anything though, Natsu came walking up. Happy flew ahead of him and landed in front of Lucy. Happy waved at Lucy as he landed. "Hey Lushy!"

"Hi Happy!" Lucy said scratching him. Happy purred in response.

"Hey Luce!" He smiled.

Lucy blushed more. "Hey Natsu!" She waved, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ears.

Natsu sat down next to her. Lucy smiled so wide her face nearly broke. Natsu smiled back at his best friend, and started to talk to her. Lucy was feeling giddy talking to Natsu.

"So I was thinking Luce," Natsu said.

"Yeah?" Lucy asked leaning over.

"Maybe we can-"

"Yes!" Lucy said, imagining Natsu asking her out to dinner, she leaned into Natsu.

"Really you want to?"

"Yes!" Lucy dreamily.

"Great! It's great you can read my mind! We can go fishing tomorrow!" Natsu beamed. "You hear that Happy?" Natsu said hi fiving his little buddy.

"Yep! It's why we keep her around." Happy teased.

Lucy's face fell. "Wait, what?" She leaned away from him.

"Everything ok?" Natsu asked, noticing her disappointment.

"Oh yeah! Just fishing! You know how much I love that!" Lucy laughed. Trying to shake off her disappointment.

Natsu nodded. Natsu heard someone call his name. He looked around and saw it was Gajeel. "Hey Lucy," Natsu said looking back at Lucy. "Can you give me a minute?"

Lucy nodded, waving Natsu off towards Gajeel. Natsu smiled his thanks, walking away. Happy flying off with him.

"Hey Natsu!" Mira called.

Natsu turned around. "Lucy ordered this burrito for you!"

Natsu smiled broadly. Mira pushed it in front of him. Natsu walked back to the bar. "You ordered me food?" He asked, taking the plate.

Lucy looked down blushing. "Thought you would get hungry-"

"You know Lucy! You're awesome! This is why I love you." Natsu said, walking away with the burrito.

Lucy stared after Natsu. "I love you too-" she whispered.

Mira stared at Lucy slack jawed. "Oh my God!" Mira gasped, slapping her in the face. Lucy held her face. "Ouch!" She rubbed it gently.

"I mean I needed that but ouch!" Lucy hissed.

"Lucy!" Mira gasped stunned.

"I'm fine!" Lucy protested.

"Liar." Mira argued.

Lucy looked down defeated. "Why can't he notice me! Don't I look cute! Shouldn't 17 year old boys be more handsy and horny?" She whined.

Mira looked at Lucy shaking her head. "Natsu isn't normal though."

Lucy huffed. "You would almost think he's asexual. Honest." She crossed her arms. "Or would it be he's just aromantic?" Lucy questioned.

"What's an aromantic?" Mira asked confused.

Lucy raised an eyebrow, "it's someone who doesn't desire relationships."

Mira nodded. "Isn't that just ace?"

Lucy frowned, shaking her head. "No because you may still want a relationship. Just not sex maybe cuddling or hugging, in the most basic terms. But aromantics don't want relationships."

Mira nodded, chewing on her lip. "Maybe he's both."

Lucy laughed, as a dinging sound was made. Mira looked pained.

"Everything ok Mira?"

"Oh yeah! It's just, that's Laxus's food. It's ready and the thought of carrying that food up to him, is not the most pleasant idea."

Lucy was confused. "Why?"

Mira blinked. "Because it's heavy."

Lucy laughed hysterically. "How bad can it be?" She continued to laugh.

"You wanna do it? Golly." Mira laughed.

"Sure." Lucy said slowly.

Mira smiled at her unsuspecting victim. She went back to the kitchen. Mirajane came out with a large plate that had three medallion beef stakes, fries, two fried eggs, and bacon and a range of sauces.

Lucy's jaw dropped.

"Can you take this to Laxus?" Mira smiled sweetly.

Lucy looked pained. "All the way up there?" She said pointing with her head upstairs.

"Yep!" Mira chirped.

Lucy stared at Mira with thinly concealed annoyance. "I should have known. He's a dragon slayer."

Mira laughed and watched Lucy get up and carry the food. Lucy kept silent as she walked upstairs, it was not that she did not like Laxus, or was scared of him anymore, (well sometimes when he lost his temper and lightning rained from the sky she was scared); it was just she didn't know him as well as the rest of the Guild.

Now, things had changed since he joined. She found out for the most part he was silent, he appeared to be witty and sarcastic (again he was always silent! So hard to tell) The Thunder Legion swore he was funny, she could see it a little. But he kept to himself mostly and just the Thunder Legion. He would talk to Mira sometimes. If Gildarts was in town she saw them hanging out. But she really didn't talk to him.

She would entrust him with her life if it ever came to it now that she saw him really change but she still did not know him. After climbing the stairs carefully to avoid spilling the food, she made her way down the long corridor until she reached Makarov's office, then she knocked on the door next to it. Without waiting for an answer she pushed the door open and began to talk, "Sorry to int-"

Laxus looked over at Lucy. In his outstretched hand was his pen and he was looking over some document. She blinked, the sun light was shining down on him. He looked beautiful like a god. 'Hmmm maybe that's why he was called the Thunder God?'

She shook her head.

Laxus stared at her blankly. "Mira sending you to deliver my food?" He was confused. He was trying to not stare at her. Her boobs that were out and her thighs looked amazing in the jeans she was wearing.

Lucy nodded, she saw Laxus staring at her. "Is there something on me? Did I spill a sauce?" She asked, nervous now.

"No. No.. you look good today." He coughed.

Lucy smiled. "Thank you!"

'A verbal confirmation that wasn't crude! Score!'

Laxus blinked her smile, blinding him.

"Anywhere I should put this? It's heavy!" She chuckled. Laxus's lips almost turned upwards. "There's a heating plate right over there." He gestured towards a bookcase. "If you can bring it here I'll make room. That is if you can carry it a little longer."

Lucy smiled, "I don't know. It's heavy. May have gotten arm-day in."

Laxus laughed at that.

After searching for a little while Lucy found the heating lacrima amongst the many piles of papers that lined the shelves. Laxus cleared a little space on the side of his desk. Lucy set the plate down on the lacrima with the knife and fork.

When she was about to leave the room Lucy looked back and winced, Laxus was staring down at a piece of paper. He sighed and set the paper on fire in a bright yellow light. There were piles of paperwork everywhere.

Lucy winced, Laxus was obviously not used to this amount of paperwork and it was killing him.

"Need help," she asked, turning around.

Laxus side eyed her.

"I'm really not sure what you would be able to help me with." He said warily. 'What would a princess like her know about this shit?'

Lucy tried to physically shrink right there in then. "I would go to my father's work a lot as a kid. I would help organize or fill out paperwork-"

"Wait! Are you telling me you may actually know a thing or two about all this bull shit?" Laxus asked incredulously.

Lucy nodded, "maybe. I don't know, if anything, I can help with organizing some of this. While you eat."

Laxus tried to combat the hopeful feeling he had in his chest. "Blondie I'll take it. Pull up a chair." He gestured to a chair in the corner.

Lucy nodded, she adjusted her sweater that had fallen exposing her entire bralette.

Laxus tried to not notice.

Lucy brought the chair over and began working. Laxus handed her some files to organize while he ate breakfast.

Lucy was pleasantly surprised he actually had manners. He separated his food with a knife and fork and not with his fingers like Natsu, his elbows were off the table. He was using a napkin. He also didn't chew with his mouth opened like Natsu did, which she was thankful for.

She put everything into order and into piles and made a pile of the things that were incomplete.

When that was done, Lucy brought the first piece of paper to the desk in front of her. As Laxus had already started to fill it out. She decided that was a good place to start.

Laxus covered his mouth since he was chewing, "you may want me to do that, don't want two different hand writings on the sheet. I'm not sure how the council will feel about that. They want everything to be perfect."

"Oh that's fine!" Lucy said playing with a loose strand of hair from her bun. Lucy took his pen and casted a copy spell on it so that it would write in his handwriting without her having to touch it.

Laxus was impressed, he stared at the pen. Lucy blushed. "I did that with my father's stuff, so his 'actual' signature was used for the really important stuff.

Lucy began dictating to the pen what to fill out and write. Laxus sat back and watched her work. She was biting her lip, tallying up some taxes for the month of October. She was looking off a guided example for some of the forms to fill out correctly.

Without fail the pen followed and wrote out everything she told it to.

When Laxus was done eating he helped her fill out the rest. It was painfully obvious to Lucy that Laxus had been thrown to the wolves about this. He was explaining that he had filled out one paper wrong three times now and the council was giving him attitude about it.

Lucy walked over to him, she leaned down her boobs and hair falling into his face. Laxus stiffened. He could smell her sweet perfume wafting in his nose. "I see what you did wrong. Here." She pointed at the spot, she explained to him what boxes to fill out and how to properly fill out each box in the spreadsheet.

Laxus thanked her, and she went back to her spot in her chair. Sometimes the cases would require her and Laxus to look through other files and other cases, but that was no problem. Once Laxus explained how his filing method worked for him she got it. She would get up and get the needed files and they would look up the older cases together and then continue writing without a problem.

Other times there would be a need for a letter of some sort to be written.

Laxus sighed, getting up, "I need to fetch the idiots in question for these." He said gesturing with papers in hand. He stared at Lucy's clavicle. Her white skin looked soft and inviting. He coughed looking away quickly. He got up, stretching.

"Oh that won't be a problem." Lucy said, not paying attention. "Sit down."

"What do you mean?" Laxus asked incredulously.

Lucy scrunched her face getting up, "sit back down. I got this." She unhooked her keys. Laxus was curious as to what she was going to do. He watched her sweater rise up, revealing her waist and hips. He swallowed looking away. 'I can't think about a guild mate this way, especially one I black mailed into being my woman at one point.'

He saw her draw out a particular key though from the corner of his eye. She stood back from the desk. "I summon thee Gemini!" She decided to be lazy, not saying the full incantation.

Laxus's eyes widened when in a puff of pink smoke, two canvas like dolls popped up. One had a sad face, the other smiling. "Gemi and Mini. Meet Laxus." She said gesturing.

"Pri pri! Hi!" They giggled.

Laxus stared at them, he waved. "Uh hi?"

Lucy giggled. "Guys! Can you turn into Elfman for a minute?"

"Blondie, what are you-"

He blinked as a golden light filled the room. In a flash he saw them melt together and become Elfman. "Pri pri!" They said in a high pitch voice.

Laxus was stunned.

"Laxus can you hand them-"

Laxus nodded and handed 'Elfman' the letter. He watched Lucy explain to them to fill out the letter in the certain person in question's personality and recollection of events. She had them repeat this several times.

"This is handy. I hope you don't mind, but I may ask to borrow this spirit. He was impressed, Gemi and Mini could even take on the person's scent.

Lucy giggled when he pointed that out. "They can also take on their powers. Not just their scent it's like Mira's powers but 10 times better and stronger, no other Spirit or mage can do what they do."

Laxus smirked. "May steal that key then Blondie. it would be nice to just have a Freed on hand when I need him and then go away when I don't need him."

Lucy gasped laughing. "That's so mean! He loves you!"

"Too much! He loves me too much." He laughed rolling his eyes. Lucy giggled again. "I got to say, I'm embarrassed that more than a few of these letters are directed at my team." She said pointing to the stack.

"The nature of having such a destructive team Blondie." Laxus shrugged, taking an apple from his desk drawer. He tossed one to Blondie. "I don't know if you're hungry-"

She smiled, she looked at the apple, a Gala Apple. "Sure. But Granny Smith's are my favorite! Got one maybe?"

Laxus whistled. "Nope. Out of luck."

Lucy laughed, "thought I would try." She lifted the apple in the air. "Thanks by the way."

Laxus and her quietly ate while she directed Gemi and Mini on what to do.

Lucy laughed silently watching the man in front of her, he was being careful to not step on Gemi or Mini who were purposefully being a nuisance. She thought about what he said about Natsu, he was destructive like Laxus said. Laxus noticed her eyes going soft while she ate. He wondered what she was thinking about.

While Lucy and Laxus worked together, she couldn't help but compare the two dragon slayers. They were so different, Lucy had to admit, the blonde was attractive, and while they talked she had to admit, the Thunder Legion was right. Laxus was funny. It was more of his wit and a dry sense of humor he possessed. While Natsu was just silly.

Once Lucy had everything done and Laxus assured her he could finish the rest by himself, she piled all of her work, in alphabetical order on the end of Laxus's desk.

"You sure?" She asked.

Laxus smiled at her, and nearly took her breath away. He looked so much younger when he smiled. And it was super cute. Not a boyish smile like Natsu's but a fully grown man's smile.

"Yes I'm sure. I'm sure Flame Brain is looking for you. I know I would be." He winked. Laxus was pleased with himself for rattling her up. If her reaction was anything to go off by.

Lucy blushed. "I doubt that. He barely notices me. Like that. If that's what you're referring to."

Laxus whistled low. "That's a shame Blondie."

Lucy blushed harder. "Alright. I'll get going." She got up smacking her hands against her thighs and walked out of his office. As she did Laxus watched the way her hips swayed. Her butt looked really good in those jeans.

"Flame brains an idiot if he doesn't notice." He sighed, getting back to work.

Juvia came into the guild hall. She was holding the spell bottle in hand. So if everything went well, the spell should:

1. Last 14 days

2. Just affect her and Gray, unlike her last failed attempt that involved the whole guild.

3. It should only show her that Gray wanted her…

That is, if Gray was her soulmate. Maya warned her to be prepared if it wasn't Gray she met, when she took it herself, then it wasn't Gray. The thing was they both would be having sex dreams. So since she swallowed it, if it was Gray, he would forcibly show up in her dream and they would have sex. But the only way she would pop up in his dream is if he took it too and if she was the one.

She swallowed, she would do it. She would be brave. She walked into the guild hall. All she had to do was blow the potion in Gray's direction. That is where it got tricky. But she was confident she could do it. And besides, what if her guild mates had a few sexy dreams? But she was going to do her best to not get anyone else involved.

As she walked past her usual table, she saw Erza flirting with Jellal. Who was staring at her like she was the most beautiful woman he had ever met. She then remembered Crime Sorceciere was in town.

Juvia didn't know whether to aw or bash their faces in with her fists or waterboard them. Either would do. She wanted Gray to look at her like Jellal did with Erza.

Juvia looked around for Gray, in her search, she ran into Laxus. Juvia blushed. "My apologies Laxus-san."

Laxus looked pained. "Juvia just call me Laxus. And it's fine. Excuse me." Laxus skirted around her and headed to the bar. He went straight towards Lucy and Mira. Juvia went back to looking for Gray.

She saw Cana and Bacchus drinking at one table. 'Not there.'

She finally found him, he was starting a fight with Natsu. She cursed mentally, she needed him alone. But then again, so what if Natsu has a sex dream for 14 days! But she felt bad. 'No involving guild members!'

She had an idea. It was bloody awful, but she had an idea..she would call him over and blow it in his face. She would ask forgiveness later. He just needed to swallow some of it.

She took a deep breath 'here, it goes!'

"Gray-sama!" She called. Gray looked over. "Can you come here please and help Juvia?" She asked shyly.

Gray looked suspicious but walked over. He was going to ask what Juvia needed help with when she blew something in his face that tasted like bubble gum. He started hacking. "What the hell Juvia!" He screamed holding his breath.

"Gray-sama! You're supposed to swallow!" She stamped her feet.

"Swallow what you crazy-" Gray choked on the bubbles. Juvia watched him run around the guild hall. Juvia began panicking. "Did you get any of it?"

Gray was running around saying he was blind now. The whole guild was staring at him. Even Laxus looked concerned. Juvia blushed in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry Gray-Sama, but did you actually get any of it?"

"What!? I don't know! What the hell is that?" He screamed.

Juvia sighed, "if you're not sure. I'll have to try again." She deduced. She ran after Gray blowing pink bubbles. All attempts of being responsible, gone. Everyone went back to what they were doing, bored at what was a typical scene in their guild.

The bubbles popped in the air, landing all around. Juvia finally gave up. If he didn't have sex dream with her tonight, well she will have to try tomorrow wouldn't she?

What she didn't know is that Gray got it. And so did Laxus, Lucy, Mira, Lisanna, Bickslow, Freed, Elfman, Evergreen, Erza, Jellal, Cana, Bacchus, Gajeel, Levy, Bisca and Alzack and Natsu.

While Juvia is doing her thing:

Lucy was sitting at the bar drinking her smoothie. Laxus had come down stairs to ask her a few questions about a tax law. Lucy was explaining what the mechanics were behind it and what he had to do to actually not be charged with fraud. When all of sudden she tasted bubble gum.

Laxus and Mira made a face. Mira was tasting her tongue almost.

"Do you guys taste bubble gum?" Mira asked.

Laxus looked grossed out. "Now that you mentioned it. What the hell did you spray Demon?" Laxus asked, holding his nose. The smell affecting him.

"Wasn't me." Mira argued, holding her stomach. She began to blink, "whoa I don't feel so good." She said, exhausted.

Lucy also felt fatigued and had an upset stomach. "Same."

One look at Laxus she could tell he was also feeling sick.

"I-" he held his head. "You know what. Blondie. I'm going to go up stairs. I'll come back down if I have questions." He said. He trudged back up stairs. His stomach flipping.

Lucy and Mira looked at each other confused. "What the hell was that?" Lucy asked.

A few hours later, Lucy was sitting at the bar. She was hoping Natsu would come and spend time with her but he hadn't. But that was fine, he was dancing on some table being an idiot with Romeo. She was glad he was having fun. But she still wanted his attention.

Lucy looked shyly over at Natsu. She hoped he would look at her today, say something about her outfit. Laxus had even noticed! But not Natsu. He didn't say anything. She sighed heavily slamming her head down on the counter.

She was talking to Mira again about her crush on the pink haired slayer.

"He's imperfectly perfect! And I mean what other guy would be out there for me?" Lucy whined to Mira.

Mira frowned.

"I don't know..and to be honest I've had to have the same talk with Lisanna recently."

That surprised Lucy. "Really!? She likes Natsu too?" Lucy's brown eyes widened. Lucy felt a moment of panic.

Mira nodded. "She's frustrated too. Don't tell her that I told you. But even she wants to know if Natsu likes her so she can officially move on you know?"

Lucy nodded, her panic going away hearing that. She felt guilty though, Lisanna and her were both in the same boat. "Makes sense. They were close. I guess I would want closure too-"

"Blondie!"

The sound of Laxus's voice stopped Lucy. She turned around and saw him walk up to her. She shrunk a bit in fear, he looked so burly and mean with his classic scowl on his face.

Laxus raised his eyebrow with the scar running through it.

"Jeez blondie no need to be scared of me." He grouched, secretly hurt seeing her flinch when he called her name.

Mira rolled her eyes. "Laxus, if you don't want people to be scared of you, maybe smile. It lets people know you aren't going to hurt them."

Laxus blinked at that. "No." Is all he said, crossing his arms.

Lucy looked between them. "Are you two done? I would like to go home?" She asked not sure what to do.

Laxus turned to stare at Lucy. "Sure. But before you go. I wanted to say thank you for helping me understand what I was doing wrong with the paperwork and how to properly amend it."

Lucy smiled at that, sitting up straighter. Laxus blinked, her smile catching him off guard. He would even dare to say she had a beautiful smile.

"No problem," she said. Lucy noticed him look uncomfortable. "Do you wanna have a seat?" She asked.

Laxus looked at her, his face was stony and blank, he felt awkward. "Uh-no. Actually goodnight. Mira I'll pay my tab tomorrow." Laxus swore in his head. That came out really wrong. He shook his head while he walked away, annoyed that he sounded so socially incompetent.

Mira nodded in response, smiling.

"Well that wasn't weird." Lucy said, watching Laxus walk away. He looked uncomfortable and out of place after thanking her. A few minutes later she heard what sounded like thunder and lightning outside.

Mira was confused thinking about what Lucy said. "Why's that?"

"Well he was totally awkward!" Lucy protested. "Did you see how uncomfortable he was after he thanked me."

Mira shook her head, smiling. "That's just Laxus."

"What do you mean?" Lucy asked.

"Laxus is just how do I say this-" she tapped a finger against her chin. "He's just not a social butterfly. A five year old has better social skills than he does."

Lucy laughed biting her hand. "You're joking! Isn't he a casanova or something?"

Mira laughed again, "sleeping with women and luring women back to his bed I think is different for him then actually talking to people. I personally think he finds it hard to connect with people, especially people in the guild. I think he needs to find the right person to truly get him and love him for all his faults." Mira looked over and saw Wakaba waving her over. "Hey Lucy are you going to be ok? Wakaba is-"

Lucy looked over and saw the man waving Mira over.

Lucy blinked. "Oh yeah it's fine! You know I think I'll head home and go to bed anyways. I'm exhausted. And I still feel funny and weird."

Mira nodded. "Get some rest Lucy..and don't beat yourself about Natsu. Maybe you're right. Maybe it's just that he's not interested in anyone. Maybe he's an Ace Aro. Like you said. And to be fair I think, I need a good night's rest too. I feel a bit strange myself."

Lucy nodded, it still didn't make her feel better. "Night Mira. Hope you feel better."

"Thanks Lucy. You too!"

Lucy smiled getting up to leave. She handed money for her tab over to the silver haired mage and grabbed her jacket and finally walked out of the guild.

She shivered in the cool nights air that greeted her as she walked outside. It was pouring rain outside. She realized it must have been raining because Laxus teleported home, causing the storm accidentally.

She sighed going home. 'Great.' She thought miserably. 'Maybe a good night's sleep will help.' Lucy shivered as the rain came down on her, it was cold and chilled her to the bone. When she got home she shivered and swore peeling off her jacket from her cold wet body. She immediately tore off her clothes. She didn't even bother for a shower.

She brushed her teeth and put the cap back on and left the light on as well. She picked up a book from her desk and turned the sheets down. Before she got into bed she took a deep breath and a good look around her place.

She put on her pj's and hopped into bed. Lucy tried to stay up and read her book, but the minute her head hit the pillow she instantly fell into a deep deep sleep.
