Chapter 2: Day 2

Laxus POV

It felt extremely hot. But why?

"Natsu?" He heard her question.

Laxus felt himself scowl, 'kinda insulting bringing up Flame Brain in my sex dream.'

"I'm Laxus remember jeez Blondie-"

Suddenly everything went black, it was raging fire like an inferno around them.

"What the hell?" Laxus asked, looking around. Laxus turned to Lucy but she was gone.

Laxus looked around, he was in a forest one minute and now he was surrounded by fire. 'Awesome.'

"This sex dream now sucks." He said out loud, now alone in raging inferno.

When Laxus woke up he gasped for air. It was like ice was dropped on him. He was sweating, he looked around his place. His mind adjusted to the real world.

He rubbed his face, he was positive that was the most realistic dream he ever had. Blondie wasn't the only one who was having doubts, but he definitely had gone to bed last night and did not take them to some forest to chase her. Really, that was the only thing he had to go on that let him know it was in fact a dream. He also didn't just kidnap guild mates to make them play out his sexual fantasies. For the record, he didn't kidnap anyone to play out his sexual fantasies.

He looked at the clock on his night stand, it read 7:42.

He took a deep breath and slowly got up. He was surprised at how sweaty he was, but then again those last few moments in that dream were hot, and he wasn't just referring to the part where Blondie was screaming his name repeatedly.

It became like a raging inferno in that dream, and she called him Natsu, which was insulting. He was way better than Natsu he was sure.

He shook his head slowly getting up, he could feel his erection feeling confined in his underwear more than usual this morning. Must have been that dream combined with the wonderful phenomenon called Morning Wood. 'So fuck this bull shit.' He would have to take care of that.

He went straight to the bathroom and started his shower. He flipped it to a decent temperature. A nice shower would clear his head. Those dreams always fucked with his head. A kink he was never really proud of. It was more than extreme. But something about basically being dragon hunting its prey got him really off.

But that dream was intense. Especially with his prey being Lucy Heartfilia. He loved a woman with a little meat on her. And she definitely had all the curves in the right places. He hadn't been completely joking when he offered her to be his woman. And yesterday she looked hot as hell.

She was that attractive. And he wouldn't mind devouring her.

But they never even talked really until yesterday. Aside from maybe a hello or night, the one time she spent in his office, and let's not forget the awkward conversation last night that consisted of: Thank you Lucy.. you're welcome Laxus. They NEVER talked.

So why did he have a dream about eating her out?

Laxus decided to not think about it too hard. He got into the shower and began scrubbing himself. Laxus thought about his dream, and his hand went immediately to his dick. He closed his eyes recalling his tongue in-between Lucy Heartfilia's thighs

It was probably nothing, but for right now, he was imagining rubbing his dick in between those glorious tits of her.

His last and final thought was imagining Blondie gagging on his dick, him pumping his dick all the way into the back of her throat. He came with a groan in the shower. He looked down and sighed, 'well that's been taken care of. Now to finish this shower.'

After he finished his shower, and got ready. He headed to the guild. He looked around cautiously, dream or no dream he didn't think he could handle seeing Blondie at that moment. When he looked around the guild he noticed several things, one of them being certain guild mates were not looking at one another or looking at one another when they knew the other was busy.

For instance, Freed and Mira were on opposite sides of the room, except they were casting each other secret glances. Freed was blushing insanely every time Mira caught him staring, and she would get flustered as well.

Next it was Evergreen and Elfman who were making an even bigger show of not looking at each other more than usual.

Bisca and Alzack looked cozy, so cozy he wanted to tell them to get a room.

Levy was doing everything she could to not look at Gajeel.

Last but not least, poor Lisanna was being cornered by Bickslow. He saw her being dragged away by him, her face the color of a tomato. Laxus made a mental note to ask about that later.

Those two had been becoming close. Apparently close enough to where they were going on dates, but Lisanna was hesitating on going any further. She refused to tell Bickslow her reasons, said she needed to work something out emotionally first before she gave Bickslow something, he stopped paying attention after Bickslow rambled all that out.

Laxus stared at his guild mates. "Idiots-"

At that moment the doors behind him flew open, he casually looked over his shoulder. He was disturbed to see Gray running naked into the guild. Juvia came running in after him. "Tell me Gray-Sama! Did you have any interesting dreams last night?" She asked, salivating.

Levy jumped and screamed at the word 'dream.'

"Juvia! No one is talking about dreams, especially ones from last night!" She screamed, scrambling from her table. She closed her book quickly and ran outside. Laxus watched the little shrimp run out of the guild, her face on fire. Laxus was stunned, no other words to describe it. Just stunned. He looked at Gajeel who broke his mug, and his face was actually-dare he say it...his face was red?

"Idiots." Is all he said muttering to himself. "Mira!" He screamed.

Mira didn't take her eyes off of Freed. Freed was staring at her, looking pale. "Yes Laxus." She said her tone took on a more sultry tone. She never took her eyes off of Freed.

Laxus was a bit disgusted. "Bring me my breakfast upstairs. Please."

"I'll let you know when it's ready." Mira said, ignoring other guildmates wanting her attention and walked slowly over to Freed.

Laxus shook his head, and walked up stairs. When he got up stairs he sat down at his desk, he was going over yesterday's paperwork. He would have to take some of this to the post office. A knock at the door distracted him.

"Come in!" He said.

The door opened it, it was his grandfather.

"Anything I can help you with?" He asked, bored.

"Yes. Actually you can-" Makarov was surprised. "Where's all the paperwork I gave you?"

"It's finished." Laxus growled.

"How did you do nearly a month's worth of paperwork already?" Makarov asked, stunned.

"Blondie helped me." Laxus thought about her. Her boobs and thighs, her screams mentally filled his imagination. "She's one-" he coughed, "hell of a secretary."

Makarov had a lecherous look on his face. "Not bad on the eyes either."

"She's too old for you!" Laxus spat. "You could die from having sex with her, your heart is so bad off."

"Be one hell of a way to go." Makarov whistled.

"You disgust me." Laxus scowled.

Makarov continued to smile. "If she's that good of a secretary, maybe I should ask her to help more often." Makarov hopped onto the chair Lucy occupied yesterday. He picked up a few pieces of paper Blondie helped him fill out. "You weren't kidding, these are filled out immaculately, did she tell you what to write?" Makarov asked.

Laxus thought about her deal with the pen, "something like that?"

Makarov lifted an eyebrow. "And how did you two get all those idiots to write out these letters?" He asked. Laxus shrugged, "we make that good of a team." He lied.

"I see." Makarov set the paper down. "If that's the case, then I expect you two to work more closely together. Starting tomorrow, she'll be in here helping you out with paperwork when she is not on missions. I want you to take this seriously."

Laxus raised an eyebrow. "What?" He asked.

"Learn from her, this is an excellent opportunity for you to learn." Makarov picked up another tax form. "I was never taught this, by the second master, I learned it all on my own."

"You're not even good at this!" Laxus spat.

"Exactly! Laxus if you learn this properly, it may make your life easier in the long run in running this guild in the future. SO ask Lucy to teach you-"

"Ask or order?" Laxus asked, resting his head against his hand.

"Well it is more of an order, I doubt she will refuse, especially if you tell her I asked." Makarov reasoned.

Laxus nodded. Makarov got up out of the chair, "starting tomorrow, she will start teaching you."

"I love how you volunteered her for this." Laxus popped off. "And why tomorrow?" He asked.

"Because today she is fishing with Natsu." Makarov lifted his hand up to the door. Laxus felt odd hearing that. "Didn't take Blondie for an outdoorsy type." He thought about in his dream, she bitched heavily about that mud. But he supposed that wasn't a good representation of Blondie, that was his perception of her.

"She isn't, but the poor child roped herself into it." Makarov shrugged.

Laxus paused for a minute before asking: "Are they dating?"

Makarov furrowed his brow. "No. But I think Lucy has fallen for the young man. I don't know if Natsu reciprocates her feelings."

Laxus didn't know how to respond to that. His grandfather walked out of his office after that. Laxus sighed staring at the empty chair. A chair Blondies fat nice ass would be filling while she taught him paperwork. He ran his fingers down his face, rubbing his eyes. "Now to get her to agree to parking that ass in that chair, or on my face." He stopped, thinking about that for a second. "On my face sure doesn't sound bad actually." He thought lecherously.

A few hours laters and Laxus was groaning. Laxus rubbed his face. He groaned again, he needed a break. He looked at that stack of papers on his desk. The ones with letters. He sighed, guess now was as good of time as ever.

Laxus picked up the papers and his coat. He exited his office, and walked down stairs. He looked around, everyone was still acting weird. And not normal. 'But it was Fairy Tail when was this place ever normal?'

Lisanna and Bickslow were muttering to themselves at the bar. From what he could hear, she was saying something about not being ready for something.

Levy and Gajeel still weren't looking at one another. And Evergreen and Elfman were staring at one another now..and to top it all off. Freed was losing his mind every time Mira would ask him to do something, when she used a towel as a whip. He thought his best friend was going to faint.

He shook his head. 'Idiots.'

He walked out of the guild and towards the post office. 'Hopefully nothing exciting happens between now and then.'

Lucy was sighing waiting outside the ice cream shop. Natsu and Happy had gone inside to get some, she already had her chocolate chip double scoop on a waffle cone.

Natsu was still inside ordering. She was shaking her head watching Natsu terrorize the ice cream kid through the window. When she took a step backwards and heard a familiar grunt, she screamed: "I'm sorry! I-"

Lucy looked upwards, and saw Laxus's blue eyes staring down at her. He looked surprised as well.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"What are you doing here?" He asked right back.

"Ice cream?" She questioned, holding up the cone. Laxus looked at the cone then back at her.

"Are you asking me or telling me?" He teased. Lucy blushed, she swiveled on her heels to face him. She blushed while saying: "telling." She refused to look at him after that.

Laxus nodded, he looked down at her, she was wearing a tight shirt, and short skirt. Her boobs were on display and so were her legs. "You're looking good there Blondie. Almost good enough to eat." He teased.

Lucy blushed, she thought about her dream last night. Of him and her, and "eating."

She squeaked, "thanks." She stared at her shoes. She thought about her dream, and how incredible it was and also terrifying.

Laxus smirked, loving seeing her reaction play on her face.

"So all the paperwork is done?" She asked, not looking at him.

Laxus picked up on Lucy deliberately not looking at him. Laxus was annoyed. He decided for a minute to ignore it until he changed his mind deeming it annoying.

"Blondie, you can look me in the eye when you're talking Jesus."

Lucy turned to stare at him, she stared at his lips. Her eyes clouding over. He could smell something thick in the air. He felt a familiar feeling creeping inside his chest and stomach. Blondie was aroused. 'But why?'

Laxus scowled. "As for the paperwork, no. It's not done. Speaking of which, I wanna ask you something."

"Hey! It's Laxus!" Natsu screamed excitedly, coming out of the shop with ice cream in hand. His stomach was huge, expanding to fit all the ice cream he ate earlier. "Lucy I'm stuffed. Can we go back to your place to sleep." He said rubbing his eyes.

Laxus stared at the kid, and then back to Lucy. He felt awkward, "I'm sorry didn't realize I was interrupting your date-"

"Oh! It's not a date." She mumbled.

Laxus lifted an eyebrow.

"Why would we be on a date?" Natsu asked, confused.

"Hmmm Natsu can do better." Happy teased rolling his tongue at Lucy. Lucy turned red in anger.

"So you get ice cream and uh go back to your place to sleep with guild mates often Natsu?" Laxus asked his younger guild mate.

"No.. just Lucy." Natsu said he was eating some more ice cream. Laxus was still confused. "And it's not a date?" Laxus asked.

He saw Lucy look down, she looked sad. Laxus winced, quickly catching on. Blondie had feelings for Flame Brain.

"We're just best friends. Isn't that right Luce?" Natsu beamed at the blonde.

Lucy looked down, blushing. "Yeah best friends."

Natsu looked at his ice cream. "Besides Lucy is nice and all but-"

Happy landed on Natsu's shoulder. "She's not that cute." Happy stuck out his tongue.

Lucy was pissed. "Can it cat!"

Natsu laughed. "She tries to be cute, little buddy, it just backfires on her."

"Natsu!" Lucy protested, mortified.

"It's true! Laxus! On our first mission, it asked for a cute girl in a maid's outfit. And the guy didn't choose her! Guy said she wasn't beautiful."

Lucy looked around wildly. "He had horrible taste!" Lucy protested.

"Yeah, and what about the Cana thing. That guy totally chose Cana over you. Or the guy that chose Mira over you, and that time-"

Laxus bent his head to look at Lucy, who was crying a bit. Laxus winced, "hey some guys prefer brunettes and other women." He stressed the last part, hoping Natsu would take the hint.

Natsu sniffed the air, he looked at Lucy. "We like you Luigi, that's all that matters."

Lucy looked down. She sighed, this was partially a disaster. She looked at Laxus who looked concerned and awkward, clearly not knowing what to do at this point. Lucy took a deep breath. "To answer your question, I need a breather. You and Happy were arguing about the fish, and whether to cook or eat it raw. And then you ate the bones and everything right before my eyes and got all it's guts on me. I need a shower, and I'm going to relax. Go take a nap at your place in your hammock." She said curtly.

Natsu looked disappointed. "But your bed is so much more comfier! Is this because of this morning?"

Laxus raised an eyebrow again. 'What happened this morning?'

"Natsu I'm used to waking up with you sneaking into my house." She muttered. "I just want to be alone."

"Oooook." Natsu sighed. "We'll see you later though? Dinner?"

Lucy smiled, "sure. I'll make your favorite."

Natsu beamed again. "Why I love you." He said, before running off to his place.

Lucy sighed, Laxus stared at her. "That was interesting Blondie."

Lucy blushed. "I uh-"

Laxus held his hand up. "It's fine Blondie. I got to get back to the guild. But before I do, I gotta ask you something."

Lucy was stunned, "what is it?"

"My grandfather saw how well you handled all this paperwork and praised me for how well I did it."

Lucy nodded, her brow furrowed. "Congrats?" She said confused.

Laxus laughed, "basically, I'm going to need you to teach me everything you know about paperwork and budgeting and how to run this place, whatever you know."

Lucy looked startled. "You realize that running my father's company was vastly different from running a guild right?"

Laxus watched as her pink tongue lapped at the ice cream. Lucy felt subconscious seeing him stare at her. She blushed.

"Maybe, but this isn't all just me asking, Jiji has told me to ask you but it's basically-"

"An order?" She winced.

Laxus nodded.

"And I thought running away meant that no one could boss me around, freedom and what not."

Laxus laughed, "clearly you don't know my grandfather."

Lucy smiled, the cone poised at her mouth. "I suppose I don't." She said, taking a bite from the cone

"So what do you say?" Laxus said appreciatively taking in her form as the sun shined down on her.

Lucy nodded, "sure. I guess if it's an order I have no choice." She laughed.

"Good. You can start tomorrow." He said, about to walk across the street.

Lucy looked panicked. "I can't tomorrow!"

Laxus stopped annoyed. "And why's that?"

Lucy looked down, "I have to take a mission for rent money."

Laxus stared at her. He was thinking things through. "How much is your rent?"

Lucy looked down "70,000."

"And how much do you need?"

"40,000." It dawned on Lucy. "Laxus! I can't accept you giving it to me if that's what you're thinking!" She gasped.

Laxus looked at her like she was nuts. "No. I wasn't thinking that at all. I was thinking the guild could just pay you, or I could pay you. You're basically teaching me. I should be paying you, or the guild should be. If my grandfather knew what he was doing we wouldn't be having this conversation."

Lucy thought it over biting her lip. Laxus pretended not to notice.

"Ok. Deal." She said.

Laxus nodded. "Good. I'll pay you the rest of what you need this month and what 2,000 extra for food and what not? And if for some reason it takes longer than the month we'll go from there." He shrugged.

Lucy nodded. "If that's what you want to do. Thank you!"

Laxus nodded, before walking away again. He stopped though before crossing the street. He didn't know what possessed him to say it but he did so anyways. "You know Blondie, I for one find it hard to believe that duke didn't pick you in a maid's costume."

Lucy looked surprised. "Really?" She asked.

"Like I said." He turned to look at her, "good enough to eat." He winked.

He smirked again, walking away from Blondie who was blushing. Both of the Blondes were thinking two entirely different things.

Laxus: If you blushed hearing that, I'm disappointed that I can't see your reaction about my dream from last night.

Lucy: good enough to eat. It felt good to hear that. But why did he have to say that, especially after I had a dream last night where he ate me…

Lucy POV

The rest of the day was uneventful. Laxus worked late into the night on paperwork and cleaning his desk and office for Blondie to have a semi comfortable set up in his office. He somehow didn't think she wanted to see rotting fruit, and for it to smell a tad better in here.

While Lucy spent a quiet evening with Natsu. She felt odd, all day she had thought about that dream from last night. And Laxus confirming again she looked good, did wonders on her self esteem after Happy and Natsu, unknowingly pulverized it.

As she got ready for bed, she thought about it more. It felt good knowing she was desirable in that way. Oh she knew she was cute, but after hearing Natsu and Happy tell her one too many times your fat and not sexy or sometimes cute, can crush a girls self esteem.

Sure she had men flirt with her, but then it was like they must have heard some awful thing about her cause they would disappear. Or they would be utter players, she thought about Dan, or Loke for that matter. Though she loved the man, she was now able to better spot a man with 'dishonorable' intentions. Sometimes having a player for a spirit comes in handy, especially when they teach you all the tricks in the book that a man will use to have sex with you.

But it didn't matter, her heart always seemed to be stuck on Natsu. But Natsu never noticed her, the man had seen her naked now and he still didn't make a move. She wasn't sure how direct and forward she needed to be at this point.

As she got into bed, after making sure the doors and windows were locked, she sat staring at the ceiling.

She for a minute fantasized about being in a relationship with Natsu like she did most nights but this time she couldn't do it. When she closed her eyes, all she could see was Laxus smirking at her, telling her how good she looked. "Good enough to eat."

She blushed.

'Right energy! Wrong man!' She wanted Natsu to say that. She imagined herself being with someone sweet and thoughtful, and funny. Like Natsu! And as far as she knew Laxus wasn't like that. She didn't even know if he could be sweet. Based off of her dream last night even dream-her couldn't believe it.

In her head she was imagining now her and Laxus walking down the street, his arm around her. She felt her cheeks getting warm, as it melted into a daydream of her straddling him in that large black leather chair of his. His tongue shoved so far down her throat she was gagging. Lucy was hyperventilating, "I CAN NOT BE THINKING OF LAXUS LIKE THAT!"

She said that outloud but her brain gave her one last image of him staring down at her shirtless with those beautiful blue gray eyes of his. She sighed thinking about it, she could be in love with Natsu and think another man was hot right?

She sighed, opening her eyes, she looked outside; dark storm clouds were rolling in. They were dark and wild, like Laxus. Not sweet and fun and goofy like Natsu. And yet Laxus's face of desire from her dream last night was burned into her head.

"If only I knew you, maybe then you would get out of my head." She whispered. She thought about it, and what Mira said: Laxus has a sweet side, just need someone to bring it out.

Well she wasn't sure that was her, but as she yawned. She let her mind play a little fantasy in her head. About waking up next to him, and them having a passionate morning together.

'That would be amazing…'
