His head was snapped to the side, eyes wide as he tried to comprehend what had just happened. But the burning in his cheek was enough proof to assure him that he wasn't dreaming.

"I'm going to let this one go, just this once, because I know you're emotional right now." He growled out, turning to face her, showing off the bright red hand print making his face. She couldn't see it, but the sound of his magic still reached her ears. "But if you ever do that again I won't care that we're guild mates. I'll shock you into the next century."
Although her fear was still great, for she had just struck Laxus in the face, her anger and hurt won out the war within.
