Hello my lovely readers!

I thought long and hard on this (not really … I got too excited about the possibilities of this story), and I would love to continue this story! This chapter isn't going to be long; but to me, it was the perfect way to end the chapter.

I hope that you guys will like it!

Laxus awoke the next morning with the sun in his face. He groaned and shielded his eyes, unhappy that his curtains had opened without him noticing. His body tensed as he felt that he wasn't alone in his bed. As he looked around, he saw the sleeping form of Lucy in his bed. Laxus was mentally freaking out inside, not knowing what to do. After every other girl has slept with him, they just leave, why didn't she? Laxus had never been a fan of girls staying the night after their one night stands, but for some reason, he wasn't as bothered by it when Lucy did it. Even though it was the first time she had stayed, it felt more natural than any other girl that had "accidently" stayed.

That's when her scent hit his nostrils like a freight train, nearly knocking him back into a laying position. Her scent permeated his room, making him groan and run his hands through his hair. He wasn't sure why her scent was affecting him so much; as far as he knew, it never had before.

Quickly, he made his way to the bathroom, hoping that a cold shower would calm his nerves and his hardening arousal. How could just the scent of her cause this? He didn't think that it was possible. Turning on the cold water, Laxus stepped into the shower, letting the water run all over his body as he closed his eyes and tried to get a hold of himself. Why was this girl so different from the others? He couldn't put his finger on it.

Once he felt that he had been under the cold water long enough, he turned on the hot and started to take a shower, letting the soap wipe away any hint of sex that might have been on his body. He was supposed to leave on a mission with his team today, but he wasn't sure that he was prepared to spend the next couple of days with the Thunder Leigon. The gang could be fun and all; but after so long, you just want to pull your hair out every time one of them talks.

Laxus exited the shower, wrapping the towel around his waist as he exits the bathroom. His room still smelled of that delicious blonde that had disappeared while he was in the shower. He sighs and smiles softly, going over to the bed before sitting down.

"What am I gonna do with you Blondie.." He says before he sees the note on the bed.

See you soon Sparky, Have fun on your mission – Blondie

Laxus chuckled at the nickname that she had chosen for him. If anyone else called him that name, he was sure that he would have lightning magically appear and zap them to dust; but once again, she was different. Looking around his room, he noticed that Lucy had forgotten a very important article of clothing. Smirking as he got off the bed, Laxus goes over and picks it up. He held the article of clothing in his hands, feeling the yellow lace and the black bra. He put it in his top drawer, so that no one else would find it. Normally, he would just throw it away, since girls usually didn't come more than once.

He faintly heard the front door open and close quickly. The Lightning Dragon Slayer wondered for a moment if it was Lucy coming back to grab her bra, but once he heard the noise of his team mates bickering, he sighed in disappointment.

Looks like he wouldn't be seeing Blondie again until after he got back, Laxus thought. Sighing in disappointment, he goes to his closet to pull out his duffel bag for missions and started to pack.

That was when he noticed something was out of place; his favorite hoodie was missing. He didn't normally wear them, but there was one that he got for Christmas from his Gramps that he had kept just because he got it for him. He always took it on missions with him because the Bixlow always keeps the hotel room at like fifty degrees and he didn't want to freeze.

That's when he sees another note in his closet. He pulls it off of the hanger and looks at it, rolling his eyes before smiling.

Couldn't find my bra… So I stole this

Trade when you get home(;

- Lucy

The Lightning Dragon Slayer let out a booming laugh, worrying his teammates who were right outside the door.

"Hey Laxus, what's goin on in there?" Bixlow asks, his babies repeating what he said.

"I'm fine, I'll be ready in just a second." He says before he looks in his closet and finds another hoodie. Walking out of his bedroom, his teammates had an odd look on their face, as if they had never heard Laxus laugh before. He scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Come on idiots lets go."

"Aye Sir!" They both say before leaving for their mission.

Lucy had woken up that morning to an empty bed. She didn't have time to think about where Laxus was, she just knew that she had to get out of there before he came back. Seeing this as her golden opportunity, she wrote a note for him before she quickly got up and tried to look for all of her stuff, but for the life of her she couldn't find her bra. She had looked everywhere! She couldn't walk out of here without it, the walk was too long to her apartment to walk without one.

She heard the water turn off and she quickly went to his closet and took the first thing she could grab. She hoped that he wouldn't be too mad, maybe if she left another cute note, he wouldn't be too pissed she took one of his hoodies. She slipped it over her head and ran for the door, making sure to quietly shut it behind her.

She knew that Laxus never had women actually stay the night. It would just make it awkward to see him the next morning like that. That wasn't the arrangement that they had signed up for. That didn't make it any easier leaving this morning. After last night, she knew that this arrangement would be the death of her. There was no way that she would be able to keep her feelings from getting hurt.

Out of the corner of her eye, she sees the Thunder Legion walking toward her and Laxus' apartment. Ducking behind a bush, she stays there for a moment, trying to catch her breath and praying they didn't see her. If anyone found out about this, she knew that the deal would be over as soon as it started.

After they walk past, Lucy slowly stands up and sneaks away. She didn't want to think of what would happen if she would've woken up ten minutes later. The Thunder Legion was the strongest team in Fairy Tail, probably one of the strongest teams in Fiore, you wouldn't want to piss any of them off. She didn't know them personally, but Bixlow looked like he would be okay to get along with, except his "babies" would get annoying. Evergreen however, just seemed like a total bitch most of the time. She knew that she had heard rumors of her and Elfman becoming a thing, but she didn't trust most Fairy Tail rumors.

As she walked up the steps to her apartment, she thought about what she was going to do today. She should probably take a mission of her own, her rent would be due in a couple of months. The last job that she went on paid her rent for almost six months. But jobs like that don't come around very often. Most of the time she will have to take two or three small jobs to pay off her rent for a while before going on a big mission. But the thought of taking a mission wasn't appealing in the slightest.

If only Laxus was here… The Celestial Wizard thought to her-self. Even though it hadn't even been an hour, she already missed the damned cocky Lightning Dragon Slayer.

She was taken out of her thoughts by her phone ringing. She looks at it and smiles brightly before answering. "Hey Levy! Are you doing anything today?"

"You sound extra cheerful this morning. Did you have a meeting with your friend last night?" She heard her laughing on the other end of the phone, making her blush.

"Of course I did… Now I know you want to know the details, so your place or mine girly?" Lucy asks as she smiles, glad to have some girl time. Maybe it would keep her mind off of him.

"I haven't been to your apartment in I don't know how long, I think it's time I come to you. I'll be there in a few!" Lucy heard the click at the other end of the phone, putting hers away before she goes to take a shower. The hot water felt great on Lucy's sore muscles. She had never thought that sex would make her this sore; but, when you're dealing with Laxus I guess it comes with the territory.

For a few moments, she lifted her head, letting the water hit her face. This always helped her calm her mind and clear her thoughts, slowly she lowers her head and just lets the water wash over her body, relaxing her and making her extremely tired, yesterday's events finally catching up with her. Finally, her hand went to the knob and turned off the shower.

Lucy heard the door open and she smiled, knowing that her best friend was here. She quickly got dressed and wrapped her hair in a towel for it to dry. She exits the bathroom and sits on her bed, seeing Levy run in as fast as she could towards the bedroom. "You have to tell me EVERYTHING!" She says as she smiles and plops onto the bed, facing Lucy.

Lucy laughs and shakes her head at her best friend. "You're insane… Where do you want me to start?" She asks with a smirk.

Levy gives her a devilish grin, showing how truly excited she was about the story she was about to tell. "The very beginning of course."

After hours of gossiping, the girls make their way to the kitchen to get something to eat. Levy sat at the table while Lucy wen t and tried to find something to cook. "So… How are the other feelings towards Laxus? Is this arrangement going to make you truly happy?" She asked her best friend worriedly. She knew that she had the biggest crush on the Lightning Dragon Slayer that she had ever seen. Levy would even go as far to say that Lucy might be in love with him.

Lucy sighed as she turned to Levy. "It's killing me inside Levy, but I can't stop. I know this is only the third time it has happened, but this time felt so different than the others. I don't know how to describe it. I think he felt it too, but I won't ever know the answer." Lucy sighs and turns, going back to cooking, hoping that Levy didn't see the stray tear that fell as she turned.

Levy's heart broke at the words her best friend spoke. She knew that this was going to hurt her; but, there was also a possibility that Laxus has feelings for the Celestial Wizard, but is just too afraid to admit it.

Laxus was glad that the mission that they had was only in the town next to Magnolia, he didn't think that he could stand to be away for that long. He knew that he saw the Blonde only last night, but he couldn't stop thinking about her. His work was done for the day, all they needed the team to do today was have Freed use his enchantments. It was boring as hell just sitting around watching him enchant and use his corny pick-up lines on Bixlow. Laxus thought that he was going to go insane.

At least they were now back at the hotel; This time, Laxus made sure he got his own room. He wasn't comfortable staying with Evergreen, and now it seemed Freed and Bixlow were becoming a thing. There was no way in hell he was going to be in a room with those two if the night was anything like this morning with all the glances and the flirting.

There wasn't a second that went by that Laxus didn't think about Lucy. Through all the boring shit he had to do today, he couldn't get her out of his head. He didn't know what was going on with him. He had never thought about another girl this much in his entire life.

Usually the way it worked was he found a girl he was interested in, took her to his place, move on. When he had told Lucy that day they were going to be "Friends with Benefits" He only said that so that she wouldn't kill him for hitting it and quitting it. But ever since their first night together, he hasn't been able to get her out of his head. That's why the second and third encounter happened; He couldn't keep his mind or hands off of her.

Their last encounter, was nothing short of amazing. Laxus had never felt such a connection with one person in his entire life. He wondered if Lucy had noticed the difference in their meeting.

The Lightning Dragon Slayer groaned and rolled over, looking at his phone on the side table. He shouldn't text her, he knew that he shouldn't; but his hand reached for the phone anyway and pulled her up in his phone. He typed the message, his thumb ghosting over the send button.

I know I shouldn't… But I just can't stay away from her. That was his last thought before pressing the send button.

My hotel room. You got an hour Blondie

And bring me my damned hoodie back
