ThornsandRoses12: OMG I'm a marvel girl and I've been having fun stealing my stepdads new PC marvel game. I totally get waiting and dying to read something but not until you get to a good save point feeling XD Spiderman is one of my favorites, my absolute favorite is Ghost Rider. BTW I will be hinting at all the different sex dreams the other guild mates are having eventually. The next dream will have Laxus in control. They will be going back forth, I felt it was important to have lucy in control of when she lost her virginity so they'll be going back and forth every night. It's kinda fun writing from different POVs at this point. Laxus being a dream Lucy had control over and Lucy being stuck in a dream Laxus has control over is a fun thing to play around with at the moment. I heard about New Yorkers partying, my family is from Brooklyn. New Yorkers y'all be crazy lol I think the crazy thing was no one expected GA to turn blue so it was wild here. Hope you are safe!

So to answer your question, I originally planned 14 days but I've wondered about ending it at 14 days, so 28 chapters or making it longer. I'm not sure. I know a lot of people who read my long ass authors notes besides you, are probably going no madaleine don't write more smut please anything but that lol But I have an idea how I want this to go but there will be 14 sex scenes total because of 14 nights. I hope that answers your question somewhat lol you stay safe as well!
DoomMarine55: Thank you for your review. I promise no Natsu bashing, and honestly by how much merch I own of Natsu alone, i would say I'm a Natsu fan too dude or are you a dudette?
Chapter 4
Laxus woke up gasping for air, he greedily took in huge gulps. His mind was hazy, he looked around he was back in his room which meant….
He looked around. Lucy wasn't here. His heart felt a stab of pain. He shook his head getting up out of bed. He hated he felt relief knowing Blondie would be there at the guild. Today she would be waiting for him. He clung to that thought as he walked to his shower. He thought about that dream, that was intense. More so than the night before. It wasn't just some kinky fantasy it was real life. He could actually have something like that. He closed his eyes, taking deep breaths through his nose.
He couldn't shake the feeling he had when he thought about that dream. Almost a home, a dream, something he could have but didn't know if he deserved.
He shook his head and went back to scrubbing himself. He needed to get to the guild, he looked at his dick. He felt spent, like he had actually had that mind blowing sex. But he didn't. It was a dream.
His dick slowly rose to life thinking about how good it felt having Blondie caress him. How amazing it felt being inside of her. He wondered if it would be like that in real life?
He came with a groan in his shower. His head, still a bit fuzzy from the orgasm. He walked over to his dresser and quickly got dressed.
He took a deep breath as he left his apartment, 'today, I'm working with Blondie. Today,' he thought about her smile. "Today I'm going to talk to her." He said out loud, locking up. And heading to the guild.
When Laxus got to the guild, the atmosphere was awkward. No one was looking at one another. He wasn't surprised to see Ever and Elfman pretend to not be staring at one another but actually doing something to grab the others attention.
Erza was shaking at the bar, she looked highly flustered. Her and Jellal were talking but you could tell there was an awkward air between them. 'How long was he in town for anyways?'
He noticed, iron freak was sitting away from Levy. And Levy was doing just about everything she could to sit away from him. She was nervous and shaking. Gajeel himself looked uneasy. But his eyes, he stared at her with an intense look of longing.
Gray was staying a billion miles away from Juvia to the point he had erected a ice wall around himself. Juvia was looking frustrated and sending looks of longing at the kid. Ok that was actually normal. But Gray was usually more tolerant.
He also noticed that Freed, his best friend, was blushing more and more insanely around Mira. Who was acting weird around him. She would look away and send him looks of longing. Her fingernails were digging into the bar.
His eyebrow raised when he saw Bickslow pretty much cornering Lisanna again. From what he could hear with his dragon slayer hearing, he was trying to get her to talk about something.
The only normal sane people were Bisca and Alzack, who looked infinitely satisfied. They were more handsy, and cuddling together watching their offspring. Laxus didn't know whether to be disgusted or jealous by the scene. Cana was the last, she looked uneasy but normal.
He shook his head and sat down at a table. He waved Mira over. Who came skipping over his table. He raised his eyebrow with the scar. "Someone is in a good mood."
"I am." She said. "What can I get you? Usual?"
Laxus nodded. "Some coffee too. And tell my idiots except for Ever to come over here. I have some male oriented conversations I want to have with them."
Mira laughed. "Got it."
Laxus watched Mira steer Bickslow away who looked disappointed to be taken away from Lisanna. Lisanna on the other hand looked relieved. And ran to the store room. He watched Mira go over to his other idiot, she was flipping her hair, and petting him. She latched onto Freed who was blushing like crazy. Freed nodded and quickly walked over.
Bickslow also saw the exchange and walked over to his boss and friend.
"What was up with that?" Bickslow asked.
"What was up with what?" Freed asked quickly, his face still red.
Laxus stared at the two men in front of him. He finally pinched his nose. "I don't know what to even say."
"If that's the case can I go? I gotta find a Strauss." Bickslow said nonchalantly.
Laxus glared at Bickslow. "Really? I saw you two when I walked in here. Haven't you scared her enough?" Laxus teased. Trying to restore his humor.
Bickslow stuck his tongue out. "No."
Laxus shook his head laughing.
Freed looked concerned. "Should you not be bothering Miss Strauss? I thought she wanted space from you while she figured out her feelings?"
That got Laxus's attention. "Wait what?"
Bickslow glared at Laxus. "Do you pay attention when I talk?"
Laxus blinked. "Barely." He said dryly.
Bickslow took a deep breath in, "what the hell man?"
Laxus had the decency to show on his face he felt bad about that. "I'm sorry, tell me what the hell is going on between you and lil Strauss again?" He winced.
Bickslow gave him one more nasty look before letting it go. "She asked for space so she can figure out if she still likes Natsu."
Laxus was surprised. "She told you that?"
Bickslow shook his head. "No. She said she needed space to think about things, going to Edolas and being two different people and coming back and expecting to be the old her and having an identity crisis, but I can tell it's more than that. I can see how her soul is trying to reconcile with her feelings with Natsu, especially now that he's with Cosplayer."
"He's not with Blondie-" Laxus said it before he realized he said it.
Freed and Bickslow stared at one another. And then back at Laxus. "And how do you know this?" Freed asked more than just a tad curious.
Laxus became very interested in the floor. "She said so yesterday, so did Flame Brain."
The look on their faces indicated they clearly wanted him to elaborate.
Laxus sighed. "So my grandfather asked me to ask her to help out with paperwork. I ran into her on the way to the postal office. When I asked her I apologized for interrupting their date. They both said it wasn't a date. They weren't dating. Just friends."
Bickslow looked faintly worried, but the look passed so quickly he wasn't sure if he actually saw it.
"Interesting." Freed said. "But doesn't explain why you're pestering her this morning, when she's asked for space." Freed reasoned looking back at Bickslow.
Laxus felt like an old lady gossiping at this point. 'Where is my food?'
Laxus wished he didn't tune out of conversations as easily as he could, because he came back to a bizarre statement.
" You see, I had this dream about me and Lisanna having tentacle sex."
Laxus blinked. "What the fuck." He said. Even Freed looked grossed out. But then again it was Freed. Now that he thought about it, 'did the man have a libido?'
He never saw him with another woman or man. So he wasn't sure.
"I had-"
"I heard." Laxus hissed. "But what the actual fuck?"
Bickslow rolled his eyes. "I know it sounds weird, but I had two dreams of us having sex, one was off us having this intense love making session like thing we had a couple of times before, and last night full tentacle sex. She was a squid thing and she was in and me and I was-
Laxus cut him off. "Please stop. I'm begging even." Laxus said, pained.
"It made me miss the old times-" Bickslow concluded.
"And you're wanting a repeat performance?" Laxus asked disturbed. He looked over at Lisanna not quite sure he could look at her the same. He shuddered. Sweet little Lisanna was no longer a little girl clearly.
Bickslow became defensive. "It's hot. Get over it. No I miss her and wanted to talk in general but when I walked in yesterday and today I can see her soul is becoming all weird, our connection the line that draws us together was stronger, so I'm trying to talk to her. I tried yesterday but she wanted space. I tried again and I made some headway, said she misses me but just isn't sure about her feelings of who she truly is."
Laxus blinked.
"So Mira said you wanted to talk to us about something?" Bickslow said unphased. Laxus shook his head.
"Yeah. Uh we won't-" Laxus was still reeling from that conversation.
At that moment Mira came by. She set down the food for Laxus. Laxus thanked her, she smiled. Before she left she casted one last look at Freed. "I just love it when I get to please someone." She sang, petting his shoulder. Freed turned red as his coat.
Laxus blinked. The men watched Mira walk away. Bickslow had his tongue out. "So wanna explain?" He laughed pervertedly.
"No!" Freed rushed.
"Thank God-" Laxus said, taking a sip of his coffee.
"I had a sex dream about Miss Mira and now I feel like she can sense it." Freed lamented.
Laxus spit out his coffee. The men stared at Laxus.
"I thought we weren't talking about this." He growled using a napkin to clean himself up.
Freed looked ashamed. Laxus sighed. "Might as well get it off your chest Freed." Laxus said.
Freed blushed, explaining he now had had 2 dreams about Mira. Both kinky. One she was role playing as librarian and Freed was being punished for dog earring book pages and had an overdue fine and in the Library of Strauss that was unacceptable, he was whipped while he was forced to do things around the Library as her slave, and the other one was where he sexually worshipped her while she was surrounded in a ring of fire while being tied on a wall. In that one specifically, he was blessed to kiss her toes…
Laxus stared at his closest friends. "You're all idiots." He muttered.
"I wouldn't say that, but isn't it odd well all had sex dreams-" Bickslow asked. He was on the defensive when he added, "We don't kink shame Laxus, come on!"
"Who said 'all'?" Laxus demanded, "and I'm NOT kink shaming!" He hissed.
Bickslow was stunned. "You didn't?" He was gambling here and he knew it. But he tried anyways.
Laxus was going to lie, but that pause was long enough. "You did!" Bickslow screamed.
"No! And keep your voice down!" Laxus hissed.
"With who?" Bickslow asked. Laxus hesitated to answer. Freed looked thoughtful.
"I'm not saying. I'm not saying who, but yes I've had similar dreams." Laxus growled.
Freed looked disturbed. "Well that's strange. I wonder if it's all just a coincidence. It's not about Miss Mira or Lisanna though?"
Both of his friends glared at him, and Laxus actually felt himself sweat and get annoyed. "No! Also I don't know. What I do know is that, I called you two over, to tell you, that Blondie is teaching me paperwork. So no missions with me for a while."
Freed and Bickslow nodded.
"So until then hold down the fort." He said to Freed while finishing eating. "You can go on missions but I won't be joining."
"Who did you have dream sex with?" Bickslow demanded. He officially deemed this more important.
Laxus shocked him. "Not saying." He growled and got up, now finished with them and his breakfast. "Freed."
Freed stared at him. "Yes Laxus-sama?" He said.
"If you can hold it together, can you take this to Mira?"
Freed blinked, looking at the tray then at Mira who was humming wiping down the bar. He finally answered: "I can."
He boldly picked up the tray and walked over to the pretty barmaid. Laxus turned around to say something to Bickslow but he was gone. He shook his head, poor Lisanna. 'Then again, tentacle porn?'
He shuddered going to his office. Laxus thought about everything that had been said. So his best friends also were having sex dreams. And they were far kinker than his dreams were.
'Seriously Bickslow, tentacle porn? And what the hell did Freed fantasize about Mira?'
Though, to be fair, from what he had heard, it wasn't too far off. Reportedly, she enjoyed BDSM, and being a dominatrix, but that was before Lisanna "died." After that he hasn't heard too much about the Strauss's sex-capades.
He was shaking his head when he got into his office. He threw off his coat and sat at his desk. It wasn't too long before he heard a knock. He looked up. "Come in-"
The door unlocked, and Laxus wanted to groan. There stood the vixen of his dreams, and he could be mistaken but she was walking bow legged. She had on leggings, and an oversized sweatshirt. Her boots clicked against the floor. "Alright! Ready to teach you what I know! And help you!" She chirped wandering over his couch to set down her purse.
Laxus stared at her ass. "Yes." He took one last look, he could smell something was different this morning. "How was your night? Sleep well?"
Lucy turned red from the top of her head to her toes. "What?" She squeaked….
Lucy POV
Laxus was confused. "Did you sleep well?" He asked.
Lucy felt herself blush. She thought about her dream last night. 'I slept fantastic! Almost like I didn't sleep at all though, cause I had the most amazing sex dream and it happened to be with you.' She didn't think saying that would go over well. Lucy bit her lip turning around, "I had a great night."
Lucy woke up she was pissed that it had all been a dream, it felt so real and wonderful. She could have stayed in that dream forever. The only weird thing was she woke up having a little spotting and her sheets were a mess again. Lucy seriously wondered if she would have to go buy extra sheets because of this.
Laxus stared at her, she felt subconscious. 'Why is he staring?'
"I can tell." He smirked.
"You can!?" She shrieked.
Laxus smirked. Looking back down at his paperwork. "Late night?"
Lucy sat down in the chair, she rubbed her thighs together. "More restless." She said looking down. She thought about it, the dream, having sex with Laxus. If only her first time could be that incredible. She didn't really care if it was with Laxus if it was that good. 'I mean Natsu would be better, but you know-'
"What about you?" She asked. Lucy noticed how he clenched his jaw. She wondered why.
"Same. Good, restless." He said, staring at his paperwork. Lucy only nodded.
"Well I guess we better get started." She said. She looked over some of the paperwork on his desk. They were dividing up the papers when Makarov handed them more. More practice and learning material. He said. Laxus growled in response.
"More like you're lazy and don't want to do it." Laxus called after his grandfather. Lucy giggled at Makarov enlarging his hand and smacking Laxus.
"Now you two kids have fun." He smirked sweetly and walked out shutting the door behind him.
Lucy giggled into her hand. Laxus rolled his eyes. "It's not funny." He scowled.
"It actually is." Lucy laughed.
Laxus rolled his eyes. "Well we've got enough things to keep ourselves entertained clearly." He gestured to his desk now flooded with papers.
"Yes. Yes we do." Lucy said, the corners of her mouth twitching.
At some point Laxus and Lucy were given coffee by Mira. Lucy and him were going over some IOUs from Master Mavis's time.
Laxus looked up as he saw her dump a bunch of creamer in her coffee. He made a grossed out look. Lucy laughed in response.
"I should be doing that with you. Drinking coffee black." She said, stirring her coffee. Laxus snorted, "real men drink their coffee black. Adults drink their coffee black."
Lucy snorted, "well I use creamer, cause I love myself. Unlike you. And when did you become Elfman?" She smiled drinking her coffee. Laxus tried to not smile at that.
"I love myself Blondie." Laxus said instead. "By the way Elfman didn't coin the term a real man does-"
"No but you can't hear it and not think of him." She laughed. Lucy continued to smile as she drank her cup. After a few moments of silence Laxus coughed.
"So did you have fun with Natsu?" He said trying to break the ice.
Lucy nodded sipping some coffee. "Yes, I mean the fishing part was ok. Gave me time to think since those two are quiet at least while fishing to not scare the fish away."
Laxus laughed drinking his coffee. "Any late night sleepovers?" He teased hoping to rattle her a bit.
Lucy groaned. "Thank God no."
Laxus was stunned. "Wait you two didn't?"
Lucy was confused. "We didn't what?"
"But you were-"
"I was what?" She asked.
"You and Natsu didn't have sex?"
Lucy blushed. "No! What made you think that?"
Laxus looked at her, "you look like a woman who was satisfied, and you're walking funny. Also you said restless-"
Lucy blushed. "Ok! Me and Natsu did not have sex!" She squeaked. She picked up a file and held it over her face. 'I did however dream I had sex with you!' She finished in her head.
"Well I'm sorry." Laxus set the cup down. "Honestly thought you were dating and lying yesterday-"
Lucy blushed. "Everyone says that we're dating but we're not." She slowly put the file down.
Laxus smirked, "people saying and doing or wanting are three different things Blondie-"
Lucy played with her skirt. Before she finally answered. "I feel bad for any girl in love with Natsu. He's not interested in romance." She slapped her hands against her thighs.
"So you do like him?" He asked.
Lucy didn't look at him but nodded. "But I can't have him. If he doesn't want me."
Laxus stared at Lucy like that was the dumbest thing. "He'd be insane to not want you."
Lucy choked on air. "What?" She squeaked. Not quite believing what she was hearing.
Laxus shook his head. "Blondie listen, to me. Men are simple. We like sex, and we like attractive women, and if your gay I guess you like attractive men and sex. Now every man might be different in what they like as far as hobbies and bull shit, and types, but we all want sex. And you're attractive as hell. There are men in Fiore that I know would kill, lie, pay, etc to have sex with you. And on top of that you're not some vapid airhead clearly."
Lucy blushed. "You're asking Natsu to be normal though-" she laughed.
"True." He shrugged. "God when I was 17 though you would have had a hard time getting rid of me. I think I just thought about sex and my next mission and when I could get another drink." He laughed picking back up his cup.
Lucy laughed. "Really you wouldn't have treated me like when you first met me? And as far as the mission and drink goes...That sounds like stuff you do to this day."
Laxus flashed a crooked smile. "That's true. As for the first part, believe it or not. I was still grumpy as hell. But I was nicer, believe it or not."
Lucy looked up at him through her lashes. "Nicer? I don't know if I believe that." She teased. She vaguely remembered that short day she spent back in time, seeing him at 17.
Laxus shook his head. "I was. I think I was only nice to Lil Strauss though or Levy, it was hard being nasty to Lisanna and Levy they were so tiny to be fair, that was until I lost my mind and was mean to everyone."
"Well," Lucy said looking at another file. "You're pretty nice now." She thought about how different Laxus was now.
Laxus looked back down at a stack of papers not knowing what to say when he heard her laugh.
"What's so funny?" Laxus asked. Lucy's face was red. She held a file over her face. "Nothing. Just reading this file, and it brought back some things and memories."
Laxus raised an eyebrow. "Like what?"
Lucy shook her head. "Nothing important."
Laxus quickly snatched the file from her hand. Lucy made a noise of protest, but Laxus was faster. Lucy tried to throw herself over his desk. Laxus smirked, easily he was able to fight her off. He read through the file. And was absolutely confused. It was a note his grandfather wrote, it had something to do with a blonde bunny girl with nice boobs coming into the guild. There was a picture Reedus painted, it was a woman's silhouette. He stared at it, she had long blonde hair, and bunny ears on her head. She had on a bright red body suit thing, and stockings. Her ass was fantastic. Reedus always knew how to draw women in just the right ways.
It was dated nearly 15 years ago. And how his grandfather needed to find her for research purposes.
"What's so funny about a bunny girl?" He said his voice filled with confusion. "If Reedus did this right, hot little number." He whistled.
Lucy turned red embarrassed; "it's nothing!" She rushed.
"Blondie-" he was intrigued by her reaction. "Why would you laugh at something about a bunny girl coming into the guild 15 years ago."
Lucy blushed. "If I told you I would never hear the end of it." She said simply. It was really embarrassing, and she was mortified that Makarov wrote this down but it was Makarov, it made sense.
"If you don't. You'll never hear the end of it." He warned.
Lucy sighed, and began to tell him about the time her and Team Natsu went back in time because of some book called Memory Days. Laxus sat there listening, as she told him.
He blinked as Lucy told him she ran into the guild as a bunny girl in search of Natsu. And Erza threw away her clothes.
"I'm sorry, you mean you saw everyone as they were 15 years ago?"
Lucy nodded. Laxus leaned back in his chair. "Huh, I must have been away on a mission I don't think I was there-"
"Oh no you were there." She laughed. Laxus didn't know what to say, his brain was drawing a real blank there.
"I was-" he said alarmed.
Lucy shook her head. "Yes. You were extremely bored, I remember you saying that, and wondering where Natsu was. And thought about starting a fight with him I think- you looked like a rebel without a cause. Nirvana, pearl jam, and green day were channeling you that day."
Laxus shook his head laughing at her description of him. "Well I guess this mystery," he said holding the file, "is complete." He quickly scrawled in it. Blondie, and put the file in his desk. Lucy looked confused. "Why are you keeping that? Shouldn't we throw that away?" She mumbled.
Laxus looked down at his stack of papers. "Nope, keeping it."
"For what reason?" She asked, her voice going cold.
"Research purposes." Laxus smirked at her. Lucy gasped, blushing. She quickly grabbed another file. Laxus laughed internally hearing her swear about Dreyar's being perverts.
Laxus and Lucy worked in silence for a while before she decided to break the ice.
"It's amazing to think so much has changed," she said rubbing her temples. She was looking through a new set of tax laws. Things had changed since she was helping her dad balance the books and running his business.
"In general or politics and laws and the economy?
Lucy laughed. "Everything."
Laxus looked over a bill he was signing off on. "Time waits for no one I hear."
"Except for us. We actually stopped aging." She pointed out. Laxus shook his head. "We did but doesn't mean time didn't march on. I think Auska is proof of that." He smiled thinking about the kid.
Lucy laughed, "I guess it's for the best, sometimes I'm glad we slept for 7 years. Feels like I've gotten a do over in a weird way."
Laxus raised an eyebrow at that. "What do you mean?"
Lucy blushed. "I guess it's dumb, but I wondered for a long time how I would have spent those 7 years and I don't think I would have given them much thought, but now that they were taken away, it almost gave me a new appreciation on life." She laughed. "This sounds dumb."
Laxus rested his head against his fist. "No, I think we all went through similar feelings."
Lucy nodded, a nagging thought appeared in her head. One that she had thought about often it seemed. She wondered if she would have been waiting for Natsu in those 7 years like she had with the last 2? And that thought scared and disappointed her.
Or would by some miracle, or would he have grown up and they could have been dating and maybe married like Bisca and Alzack. But something told her deep down that wouldn't have happened. She would have been waiting. Maybe they would have had a year apart like they had, and she would fall right back into his gravitational field. But she would have been waiting on him.
"Everything ok?" He asked. His face looked concerned.
Lucy laughed nervously. "Yeah just thinking about that is all, how much time have we wasted? And wasting it on something we want but not sure it will happen. Like, would have I made up with my dad or would-" she broke off. Her mouth went dry.
Laxus was silent, he knew she meant Natsu. She knew herself she meant Natsu. But neither wanted to say it out loud. Laxus didn't know if he should press, while Lucy was too embarrassed to say anything.
Laxus shrugged finally deciding on: "my mom used to say that what you want maybe isn't always what you need. You might find something unexpectedly better."
Lucy laughed. "But don't we want based on what we need?"
Laxus smiled ruefully. "Not always. Trust me."
Lucy didn't know what to say.
"I can say this, in all my musing of what could have happened if I had been awake for those 7 years, making up with my father never once crossed my mind." Laxus said, changing the subject slightly.
Lucy looked a little sad by that. "I can see why you wouldn't." She thought about Ivan. "To be fair I did not think I could make up with my dad, not after what he did with Phantom."
Laxus swallowed at that, swallowing the initial venomous feeling that came with that memory. Lucy asking him a question distracted him.
"Where did you think you would be if you hadn't?" She asked.
Laxus shook his head, "honestly don't know. Probably something I could never have."
"Such as-"
Laxus shook his head. "Peace, happiness, who knows maybe found a woman who was actually worth it." He shrugged. The way he said it made her laugh. Laxus smiled. "But that stuff is in the past, I can't dwell on it."
Lucy chewed on her lip. "You're right, but-"
They heard a knock on the door. "Come in." Laxus said staring at the door. He already knew who was on the other side.
It was Natsu, he beamed at the two Blondes. Lucy felt butterflies at the sight.
"Hey Lucy! You wanna get lunch with me and droopy drawers?" He asked excitedly. Lucy smiled at him. "Let me check with-"
Laxus shook his head. "Go."
"Are you sure?" Lucy asked.
Laxus raised an eyebrow, "you're coming back right?"
Lucy smiled amused, "yes."
"Then go." Laxus waved. "I can grab food myself." He shrugged. Lucy nodded and got up to collect her things. She waved to Laxus as she left. Laxus stared at her as she left.
He sighed, he looked down at his desk drawer. He thought about the portrait. He shook his head and got up. Lunch. Lunch was what he needed.
When both of the Blondes returned from lunch they promptly started working again. Lucy was educating him on how to work around bureaucrats. Some debts and IOUs were from so long ago it was insane to have it over their heads Lucy argued. She was looking over some files from Master Mavis's reign.
Laxus was impressed watching her talk to various city officials, wondering why he ever thought getting rid of her was a good idea. Bureaucrats are used to trading getting things done by the form of favors, she said. She had been working out something with some former bureaucrat to get Fairy Tail a favor when they got off topic.
But now, they were talking about philosophy. What people deserved in life. Redemption, and can people who've done horrible things get happy endings. Lucy was arguing that all people deserved a chance at forgiveness to prove they changed. She was arguing he was a prime example of that.
"You're not the person I would expect to be saying that to me." He laughed.
"Why's that?" Lucy asked, looking at some tax form from Master Mavis's reign. She was still finishing up her little deal paper wise to have that debt wiped away and forgotten about so that the bureaucrat could just kindly 'dispose' of it.
"Well, just how I've treated you-"
"Well what have you done beside turning me to stone?" She asked, confused putting the paper down.
Laxus winced, Lucy raised an eyebrow. "Laxus-" she said in a tone that meant she was serious.
"Well you know I tried to fire a lightning bolt at you when you were stone-" he mumbled.
Lucy bit her lip. "But you're sorry about it right?"
Laxus blushed. "Yes."
"Is that all?"
Laxus continued to stare at his work.
Lucy gawked. "What did you do? Talk shit about me?"
Laxus gripped his pen a bit tighter.
Lucy cocked her head. "Laxus I've forgiven you for what you did, even the stuff I don't know about."
Laxus looked up, "Blondie, considering how I was the worse to you then most of our guild mates I'm surprised. I tried black mailing you, I talked shit about you, and I tried to kill you."
Lucy's face morphed into solid confusion. "Black mail?"
"You know when I-"
Lucy looked at him confused. A blank stare was on her face.
"When I was asked to come back, to help with Phantom I said no-"
Lucy rolled her eyes, "well I know that-"
"Well I said I would come if you became my woman-"
Lucy choked on air. "You did what?"
Laxus eyes widened. "You didn't know?"
Lucy sputtered, "no!"
Laxus winced, "does this mean you don't forgive me now?" He laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his head.
Lucy stared at him. "No. I still do forgive you. Just wow. I thought you didn't notice me. Come to find out you did. Just for the wrong reasons."
Laxus's mouth turned upwards slightly. "I've always noticed you, still notice you," the look he gave made Lucy want to melt.
"Just now, I think of you as a nicer person, who's a financial wizard and a silver tongue it seems. Seriously the way you've been crunching numbers is ridiculous and picking apart these contracts is insane."
Lucy laughed. "Well where you had the advantage of training to be a wizard for much longer than I have had. I was trained in this-" she gestured around her. "I didn't really get to start practicing until I was 16. When I successfully ran away."
Laxus smiled crookedly. "There were unsuccessful times?"
Lucy laughed. "Yes. Too many unsuccessful times. But I needed it to only work once." She said curtly.
Laxus was surprised. "I wanna hear all about those failed attempts. And also I thought you joined here when you were 17, your file says-" he made a vain attempt to find her file again.
"I was." Lucy smiled, stopping him.
Laxus was confused. "Then why did you say-"
Lucy smiled at him, "like you I had a walk about, finding out who I was. I was on my own for a year before I met Natsu and he offered to bring me here."
Laxus nodded, his respect for the woman growing. "So first off, explain to me why we could get away with destroying a town in this file while also telling me about your first runaway attempt." He opened the file sharing it with Lucy.
Lucy rolled her eyes. "Uh. Why do I have to share? Can't you tell a few stories? I remember reading your feats avidly before I joined."
That pleased Laxus. "My ego has been stroked. You read about my exploits?" He smiled. His head was now in his hand.
Lucy rolled her eyes. "Don't get too cocky, your name was always on some Sorcerer Weekly edition."
Laxus's face soured. "Sorcerer Weekly. A parasite." He scowled sitting up.
"I'll make you a deal, you tell me how the hell you saved that town from that mythical titan monster back in Thule. And I'll tell you how I successfully ran away." She smiled at the lightning mage.
Laxus smirked, "I remember that, I was 19."
"Ahem. And I'm very curious to know how you supposedly flipped it over your back." Lucy smiled gamely.
Laxus coughed nervously, "that might have been exaggerated."
"I don't know, but I'm sure you'll tell me." She said looking over the file Laxus handed her. Laxus smiled deviously, and got up. He crossed his desk to stand behind Blondie. He leaned down, his breath tickling her ear.
Lucy sucked in her breath, his breath sending shivers down her spine. "You got a deal Blondie." He whispered.
Hours passed between them again, as Lucy and him worked through more paperwork. Laxus told her the story she wanted to know. Lucy was surprised to find out, he accidentally stumbled into that town from a mission.
A mythical titan-like creature had been summoned, and the town basically laughed in his face thinking that he couldn't do anything. Some scrawny punk kid from a worthless guild. Laxus said he promptly made the decision to stay and solve their problem. Which he did, three battles later he managed to throw that titan back into the pit it crawled out of and kick the ass of the summoner. While not a battle he won with style, the villagers told everyone else he won in actual style. Which he said he more than appreciated
Lucy laughed. "I pity the mage who tried to take you on after that."
Laxus winced. "I could have easily been knocked over if someone had blown on me too hard. I think I was running on fumes at being angry at that point. I honestly think that's when my grandfather got Freed involved."
Lucy laughed trying to imagine it. A young Laxus like the one she met 15 years ago walking around like an old man. She couldn't imagine it.
"So tell me Blondie-how did you run away."
Lucy rolled her eyes and began that tale, her and Laxus were working on some more letters as she told him. She told him how she climbed over the gates of her old house. And basically ran for all she was worth. Her father was away on some trip and the maids didn't notice she was missing until they went to check on her.
Laxus listened to her explain how horribly unprepared she was when she ran away. How she thought she had this and quickly realized she didn't. Wandering around in a dress with a hoop skirt was highly impractical and running from her father's servants and security people when they caught up to her in a town she had managed to make it too. How she was nearly cheated out for her money, robbed. How hard it was adjusting to the new world, how she was shocked learning that bras were a thing. Shorts, pants, t-shirts. She had only worn corsets and dresses all her life and at least several layers of stockings and underwear.
Laxus listened to it all with wrapped attention. Blondie was a good storyteller.
"That's insane." Laxus commented. "So you sold your mother's jewelry?"
Lucy looked down. "No, my mom's ring, she had it before I was born, that was stolen. Along with a necklace she had and earrings it was in a town called Flower Mound that's all I remember. I sold some pieces some man my father tried to set me up with gave me in Clover. Some emerald and diamond bracelets and matching earrings he gave me on Valentine's Day."
Laxus winced, that did not sound cheap. "Did you ever get your mother's stuff back?" He decided to ask.
Lucy looked down. "No, it's something I regret. But I was afraid if I went to the police-"
"You would have to go back home." Laxus finished.
Lucy nodded, teary eyed.
Laxus felt a weird knot in his stomach seeing her cry.
Lucy rubbed her face. "I'm sorry. I've never told anyone that."
Laxus was surprised. "Not even Natsu?"
Lucy shook her head. "Nope. What's the point? It's not like anyone could find the guy. I don't even know who took it. Like I said all I remember is Flower Mound, and he was tall and thin, and he smelled like HoneySuckles."
Laxus stared at his desk. He didn't know what to say. The clock struck 7 though making them jump. Lucy looked over at the clock. "I didn't know it was so late."
Laxus shook his head. "Neither did I."
They stared at one another briefly.
"We should probably call it a night." She said getting up.
Laxus continued to stare at the desk. "Probably." He said finally getting up and grabbing his coat. He watched Lucy do the same, also grabbing her purse.
Laxus and Lucy were walking down stairs, talking aimlessly. Lucy was playing with a strand of hair. She was enjoying being in Laxus's company.
Lucy shuffled her feet at the bottom of the stairs.
"You know I had fun talking to you today." He said.
"Same. I didn't think we would end up talking so much." She laughed.
They stared at one another.
"See you tomorrow?" She asked.
"Yes. I still need you." He replied.
Lucy's eyes widened.
"For the paperwork." Laxus amended. Lucy laughed at that. "Gotcha." Lucy nodded and waved goodbye, walking home she was baffled at how well today went. And it minorly crossed her mind that when she went to change her tampon this morning the bleeding had stopped.
'Must have been a weird thing.' She thought.
God damn guys. Like honestly! This was supposed to be just a way I could practice write some wild sex scenes and connect them all together in a lazy manner and y'all have flooded my email and I can't thank y'all enough.
I only got 23 email alerts and when I came to my manage my story tab to get all y'all gremlins names I was shocked to see 51 people following this. So like thank you!
As far as writing goes I know y'all were probably going uh Mads wheres the smut well Night III is "done" I'm looking over it. I'm excited for y'all to read it.
And I've got a lot of holes in Day IV. (Phrasing and holes...sorry not sorry.)
Anyways, the entire chapter is basically laid out like this:
Something
Something
Lucy and the girls were giggling to themselves.
"Wouldn't it be nice to boss around the boys?" Bisca sighed.
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.
Something
Something
"That's not how the whole princess thing works. They can't sleep with whoever, it can be treason. But I did know of princesses and aristocrats who ordered around their serfs or peasants-"
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.
Something
Something
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?"
Something
I've literally got to figure out the somethings somethings lol I write like a spaz and it shows. But Day IV sex scene is totally done. LOL so I gotta wing it but I'll probably update Night III when Day IV is more done so people have an idea. I've also been asked where I'm at with WLSC and I swear guys I'm at the part in the episode where Makarov wakes up in Wings of Flames. That means there's 8:33 left of the episode of me to watch and transcribe essentially. It's literally almost done.
Till then!
