I feel so miserable right now, and everything hurts... I'm just going back to sleep as soon as this is posted.

Hope you like it.

I adore you, my faithful minions.


"What the hell are you going on about, Bickslow?"

Sighing, Bickslow allowed magic to flow back into his eyes, Laxus's own eyes narrowing in suspicion, wondering why Bickslow would activate them now. "Do you want to know what I see when I look at you with these eyes, Laxus?" Without waiting for an answer, the tall lanky man continued. "I see all of your anger and frustration. I see how much whatever happened between you and Lucy, then and now, changed you. This past year you've been restless and frustrated. You can't get off anymore and you can't stay home, always needing to be out on a mission fighting."

"Bix-"

But the blue haired Seith wasn't having it. He wasn't going to pull punches and sugarcoat shit for Laxus. Not when he knew the blonde needed to hear what he had to say. As hard as Laxus tried to hide himself from others, he could not evade the power of Bickslow's eyes. Bickslow saw what Laxus tried to hide, and it was high time Laxus realized it himself too.

"Your soul is raging right now. You're angry. You're hurt. What ever happened in that bathroom between the two of you, hurt you worse than I've ever seen before and that's because you have feeling for her. Don't bother denying it either because I can see it clear as day. You love her but you fucked up and now I'm guessing she wants nothing to do with you. But you want to know something, Boss? You aren't the only one hurting. Your Dragon is hurting a hell of a lot more than you are."

Stormy eyes blinked down at him in confusion. "Dragon? What-"

Once more he was cut off. "I can see it." Bickslow said, his eyes staring at something behind him, but when Laxus turned around, he saw nothing but destroyed trees and empty air. "He's big and yellow, a freaking lighting dragon." His voice lowered, loosing its amused tone and turning somber, eyes gazing at the beast in sadness. "He's man and he's hurting, and it looks like all he wants is for to listen to him, but you won't. You can't."

His anger slightly calmed, confusion and apprehension on his face, Laxus stared at his friend, Dragon Force leaving him. He was beyond confused, never haven't heard of a lighting dragon near him before. And as much as he wanted to storm away, to continue on destroying everything in his path, he didn't.

"I don't understand."

"Well, I don't really understand either, Boss." Bickslow said. "But I do know one thing. The bond between you and your Dragon is weak. It's not like what the other Slayers have with their own. The only thing I can tell you with certainty is, I think you need to have a talk with the others."
