FYI This is a prequel to the rest of the story and based off of a request to see Laxus get a crack at Lucy's little lacrima. There was a request for Vander too but since he met Lucy after Zen I'm not sure I could make that work in the context of this story. Maybe in another one I'm working on…

This one's for you Mistress Katana.

Part IV

Laxus sat back at his table nursing a beer quietly on the second floor. His friends and still somewhat fan club had been out on a job for the past 3 weeks so he was enjoying his brief window of quiet sanity.

After everything they'd all been through the past couple years together the hero worship Freed, Ever and Bicks used to have for him in abundance was slowly waning into a more balanced and supportive relationship like real friendship which just meant Bickslow pranked him too, Ever complained while he was around and Freed stopped sneaking into his home once a week to clean.

He looked around the guild letting the idle chatter and noise fade to the background. The Demon was at the bar chatting with Kinana, Macao and Wakaba eyeing the two beauties like the old perverts they were. Levy read in the back corner settled casually in Pincushion's lap.

That pair had been an interesting sight as of late. It was obvious about 2 weeks ago something had changed between them and he knew it had something to do with Blondie just not what exactly. It was obvious the three had all slept together, the distinct scent of sex and blondie was all over them one day, and whatever had happened the night before had given Levy a new confidence leading to this new behavior.

On the flip side, though, the cheerful Celestial Spirit Mage had seemed…off…ever since. Sure Blondie had come to guild as usual that day still all smiles and cheer but her clothing covered more now, fit a bit looser too and she hadn't approached the pair directly since.

Mavis he wished Bickslow had been here for this. He knew the pair had a weird sort of open emotion vomiting loosely defined friends with benefits type thing going on. It was low key and the only reason he knew anything about it was he'd dropped by Bick's place one night to see if he'd wanted to go out and found them in bed together. He'd been shocked he hadn't caught on sooner, smelled anything on them, but they must have been using a special soap that worked so well even a slayer's nose couldn't pick up a thing. Not that he blamed Blondie, her team was invasive and the pyro and his blue cat would have had the entire guild informed of her sex life if she didn't take precautions like that. After that he noticed the coded language and non-verbal signals they used to communicate secretly in the crowded guild and as far as he could tell when either were having a shit day, they'd help each other out during the night.

If only Bicks were here he would have fucked her back to normal by now…maybe he could step in? The two weren't exclusive or dating or anything so he knew Bicks wouldn't care. The man was Boscan and would probably thank him for helping a good friend of his out…He might not be the best at advice giving but he could listen…comfort…fuck her until she just didn't care anymore.

Now would be a perfect time too since Titania and her merry band of idiots were gone once again leaving Blondie behind so she could do her own thing, take her own missions so her growth as a mage wasn't stifled by the three terrors she called friends.

With them gone Lucy was bound to have more free time and since she wasn't currently at the guild it would be easy to drop by her place. Internally nodding his head at his plan Laxus pulled his large frame up to go see his fellow blonde.

ALGS

Lucy laid sprawled out in the middle of the floor of her small apartment staring at the ceiling in nothing but her underwear. She'd given up trying to find something to wear in her closet to get ready for the day because everything either clung to her too wide hips, showed off her massive thighs, exposed way too much cleavage or stomach.

Stars she felt so fat and ugly, like a clumsy loud obnoxious cow stomping into a room. Natsu and Happy had always told her she was heavy but before now she always thought they were just idiots. Even after Capricorn suggested she diet to lose weight Lucy had always felt that his suggestion was based off of how her mother had looked as opposed to what was healthy for her frame and build. The goat spirit had loved her mother and people always told her she looked like her so she figured he was trying to close the gap which was stupid in her opinion. Her mom had always been a bit frail and physically weak with little muscle mass so she was naturally thinner and a bit pale. Lucy knew she was lightly tanned, healthy - hardy even - and had gained a lot of muscle since becoming a mage having to run after or away from her partner, fight tooth and mail against mages with far more experience. Never once had she felt ugly, quite the opposite in fact. She thought she was rather cute and sexy, nothing on Mirajane, Erza or even Juvia's exceptional beauty but she could hold her own.

Now though, it's amazing how much one sexual encounter had changed all that. Levy had begged her for weeks to agree to try out a threesome with her and Gajeel because apparently he had some weird fantasy with them both in bunny costumes that she really wanted to make a reality for his birthday.

Lucy knew she should have said no, the situation was weird and could only cause problems, but like the pushover she was to her friends she'd agreed and now she was disgusted with herself. Not for being a slut or any other derogatory term the people from her old life would have labelled her in a heartbeat if they found out she'd had sex with multiple partners. Nope, it was the fact that the partners she'd had that experience with obvious didn't want her there.

The night had started out fine, Gajeel was excited and enjoyed the attention both of them were lavishing on him and each other just like he'd imagined. He'd even gotten them both off fairly close together but that's when it all changed.

His hands, lips and frankly his completed attention lingered solely on Levy. He growled praises about ever little inch of Levy as he took his time exploring her delicate body and she was just kind of there long since forgotten.

Rationally she knew it had nothing to do with her. The man had been in love with her friend for years but they were the ones to bring her in, guilt her into joining them so where in the ever fucking hell did they get off doing that to her? She'd never once asked for this so their treating her like that just made her feel worthless, used and dirty. Fat and ugly. Unwanted, undesirable.

Sex had never left her feeling like that before, should never leave anyone feeling like that. It felt like they'd played the world's cruelest practical joke or her or set this up as the biggest ego boost for Levy at her expense even though Lucy knew they'd not intended to do anything like that. Gajeel even took the time the next day to help her realize a dream of hers as a thank you but with how she'd been feeling… She hadn't tried it out yet, not even on herself. Had Bicks been in town…

A light knock on the door brought Lucy out of her plummeting thoughts. Brow furrowed Lucy called out, "I have 2 more weeks until rent is due and my team is out of town. Who the hell are you?"

"…"

Sighing in relief that the mystery guest left her in peace Lucy turned her attention back to her ceiling trying to picture the stars in the sky from the bumpy texture of whatever finish was up there. Was it called popcorn? That couldn't be right since she could imagine that abrasive surface shredding someone stupid enough to try touching it and popcorn was fluffy and delicious.

Laxus just stood there at the slightly ajar door. Just the pressure of a light knock had been enough to push her not locked, not even closed properly, door open and he no longer wondered why the blonde had been kidnapped so often in the past.

Who the hell doesn't even shut their door? He thought as he walked into the cozy apartment shutting the door firmly but silently out of habit. Sensitive hearing always had him moving a lot more stealthily than most expected of him mainly due to his size so he wasn't surprised to see the woman he tracked down hadn't noticed him leaning against the bookshelf just past her entryway. He was surprised to see Lucy in all her curvaceous glory wearing nothing but a dark purple racy lace lingerie set spread eagle in the middle of the floor.

"I like the new look Blondie," he rumbled by way of introduction.

Lucy tipped her head back to visually confirm that her apartment had once again been invaded by another dragon slayer, albeit one she'd never expected to see here.

"You know, one of these days I'm going to dye my hair so you can't call me that." She rolled her eyes.

Laxus didn't know how to respond to that so he moved more into the room and settled comfortably on her bed. This was not at all how he'd anticipated this impromptu visit to play out so far but he had to concede that at least in one aspect the scenario was improved; the way her breasts spilled from the top of her bra had his fingers involuntarily twitching with the need to explore.

The room fell silent as Laxus freely ogled the thoughtful blonde unashamed of his interest.

Lucy was having a hell of a time trying desperately to keep a nonchalant composure but inside she was freaking out. The Laxus Dreyer, Sorcerer Weekly's #1 desired bachelor of the year, for some unknown reason was in her apartment, on her bed, staring at her almost naked self with a heat that couldn't be mistaken.

The whole thing just didn't fit with her current mindset but the facts of the situation could not be denied. She'd been longing to vent to her good friend Bixy but he was gone which left what she knew was a ridiculous notion trapped in her to fester. Her rational mind finally asserted itself and Lucy kicked the shit out of the emotionally damaged, sexual repressed child of her past. It didn't matter what anyone else thought, she was fucking sexist woman on this goddamn piece of orbiting rock and all Earthland was lucky to have such beauty living on its surface and to hell with anyone who thought otherwise. She was a smart kickass mage of Fairy Tail and her worth was not dictated by anyone but herself.

Rolling to her side to face the Adonis in her room Lucy smiled. Oh yes, any man would be lucky to have her attentions and the lighting slayer was lucky bastard number one.

"So Sparky, I'll give you five chances to figure out what is physically different with me and if you don't I get to ride the lighting…on top," she clarified letting her eyes pan over his body before meeting the intense orange of his gaze and smirked. Lucy knew just how dominating dragon slayers were and she very much wanted to feel one submit to her right now.

Laxus met her sultry stare his own lips turning up rakishly. This was getting better and better. "What do I get if I win?"

"What do you want?"

He thought for only a moment. "My slave for a week."

Lucy lifted her brow but confidently agreed; he'd never be able to guess. "No touching."

"Deal." Laxus moved to lay on his side facing her getting so close he could feel the heat radiating off her body. He had no fucking clue what was different but he had five chances.

"Cut your hair." It was an obvious and easy guess but Lucy shook her head no.

"New shampoo…new lotion…lost weight…gained weight?" he asked rapid fire each getting shot down and he could feel the grumble from his dragon at losing. The bastard never let a woman on top during sex but fuck if Laxus cared at the moment. This was going to be the most pleasant punishment he's had to date.

Lucy hummed and pressed herself right into his much larger body letting her hand slowly undo the button on his dress shirt.

"Well?" Laxus queried letting Lucy's small hands explore his chest and side freely.

"Now you get to touch." Oh a touch the lightning slayer did.

It started simple, almost chaste, as Laxus let his fingertips glide across the skin of her brow down her cheek and neck then over her shoulder giving rise to little goosebumps in his wake, eyes locked on her. This was far more intimate and gentler than she'd anticipated from the man most called an asshole. She'd expected rough, powerful, fast yet satisfying but all those thoughts were blown away as the giant of a man slowly, meticulous mapped every inch of he exposed skin.

She knew her panties were ruined, could feel her burning need, her empty core pleading to be filled as it clenched fruitlessly and he hadn't even ventured under her lingerie. Fuck she was so close to just jumping this man but the look in her eye held a challenge. He wanted her to do that, to break and give in on the feelings he was inciting, to level the score.

Like she gave two fucks about some made up game? Lucy wanted this man now but before she could strike Laxus' mouth was on hers sucking her lower lip into his one of his palms on her breast.

Laxus swallowed her groan feeling himself stiffen as one of her delicious legs pulled him into her weeping core. Gods she smelled so fucking good, he'd also thought so, strawberries and what reminded him of the night sky but heated like this there was a hint of brandy too.

"Fuck me," he hissed at the sudden feeling of a small hand gripping the base of his shaft. Somehow he missed the part where she got his slacks undone and slipped her hand down his boxers.

"I plan to," she growled back pushing him on his back as she firmly stroked his cock. He growled back at her challenge moving to grab her and show her just who was alpha but his arms didn't move. In fact they were over his head and somehow secured there by what looked like silk scarves to brackets on her floor.

He was positive they hadn't been there when he came in but it was hard to think as the little minx started licking down his body. He flexed his arms to rip himself loose but the fabric held as the floor groaned.

"You break my floor you get to deal with my landlady," Lucy hummed tracing the black lines of his tattoo on his side as her hand picked up its pace. Gods he could feel her pebbled nipples through the lace of her bra drag over his exposed chest and it was torture not being able to touch her smooth skin.

"How the fuck?" Laxus gasped out. He was getting close but like hell he was going to lose it to her hand. He wanted to be buried in her tight little cunt before he unloaded, he screaming his name to the heaven's she adored so much. He'd come here expecting to find the slightly morose woman she'd been the last 2 weeks but instead had been jumped by a sex kitten. Suddenly her weird relationship with his best friend made a hell of a lot more sense.

"Virgo's really…good about…anticipating my…needs," Lucy said still busy exploring the chiseled chest beneath her loving the way his abs and hips flexed as he bucked into her palm. He was so thick and hard all her plans of teasing him further flew out the window as her need to fill his stretch her, fill her overwhelmed her.

Pushing aside her panties Lucy dropped herself on his pulsing cock and stars he felt so good.

"Tight." Laxus eyes rolled into the back of his head feeling something akin to small beads circling his member gliding up and down as her slick hot pussy moved over him as she started to ride him in earnest. Shit he'd been close before this but whatever the fuck was going on with Lucy's pussy was magic, that's the only word his pleasure addled mine could come up with.

As pissed off as his dragon was at being subdued, it and he were in agreement that the indignity of the situation was well compensated as Lucy freed her tits touching herself letting them bounce as she bounced up and down on his cock.

"Oh fuck…Laxus yes!" Lucy yelled as the dragon started trusting up meeting her efforts even from his prone position.

"Say my name!" Laxus snarled and doubled his efforts taking control of the rhythm.

"Laxus," Lucy keened bracing her arms on his massive pecs barely able to breath.

A vicious arrogant sneer curved sinful mouth. He had one more ace up his sleeve, his veritable trump card oh and was he going to love this. Calling his lighting he channeling right to his dick and with his next trust, buried balls deep he let loose the low volt charge.

Lucy screamed as the imbedded lacrima all across her body lit up as Laxus' magic met her own, an orgasm so intense the force broke through any control she had of her body. It was like every muscle contracted as she violently shuddered completely collapsed on the warm body below her.

Laxus roared arms finally ripping free as Lucy clamped down so hard on his dick it would probably hurt had an overwhelming pleasure not ripped his own orgasm from him at the same time. A thrumming of pleasure milked his dry as the lightning slayer tried to remember how to breathe.

"Ok…that…was…different," he got out panting heavily.

Lucy chuckled so high on endorphins she didn't care that her body felt like jello.

"I admit," she giggled. "I had not anticipated that to work so well," she finished with a snort.

"The hell…was that?" he finally got out wrapping the small blonde in his arms as he continued to recover ignoring the cloth still tied around his wrists.

"I ummm," Lucy cleared her throat, "infused tiny lacrima with a pleasure spell and had them implanted in several places on my body. They…ugh…activate with magic if I have them unlocked." The delirious celestial mage tried to look up to meet his fiery eyes but currently lacked the strength to lift her head so she saw his squared jaw and one eye.

"Who the hell did you trust to put them in your twat?" he asked incredulously. If he were a chick there was no way in hell he'd let anyone do that to him.

"Gajeel," she murmured. When all she got was a raised eyebrow Lucy heaved a sigh and decided to air the rest of the past out, fully purge that poison from her system.

"Levs begged me to have sex with the both of them for Gajeel's birthday and as a thank you he placed them for me how and where I wanted them. I knew he wouldn't take advantage because he's in love with Levs and by then he'd been there and it was obvious he would want to again."

Laxus narrowed his eyes. Well that made everything make a whole lot more sense.

"Just because pincushion likes little girls doesn't mean shit." There, he had listened to her problem, comforted her and fucked her until she couldn't walk. Maybe not in that order but all the boxes had been checked. He was such a good friend.

Lucy snorted again. "Yeah I know considering I still have you planted in my sexy snatch." She punctuated the last word by flexing her muscles around his softened member.

"My turn," Laxus growled rolling them over and nipping at her neck as he firmly bucked his rapidly stiffening erection into her.

ALGS

Another week went by before the Thunder Legion finally made it back to the guild more than a little worse for wear. What was supposed to be a simple escort job went sideways near the very end as two small gangs came out of nowhere to try and steal their client's cargo at the same time.

Normally the total of 10 relatively low to no power people would have been a piece of cake to handle but the four men in black full body latex had the rankest smelling fart attack known to mankind. It knocked Evergreen out and temporarily blinded Freed so Bickslow, grateful he'd had his mask on so he didn't get hit with the brunt of it had to fight all of them until his teammates recovered.

All he wanted to do was take a long bath with the specially formulated soap his sister Xally made for him and maybe ask Lucy to play the part of a Boscan bath attendant. A large smile overtook his face as his tongue flopped out at the idea and he practically skipped up to the bar. He didn't see Lucy around and if anyone knew where that woman was it was the resident busybody barmaid.

"Hey you see Cosplayer today?"

Mira's smile sent shivers up his spine. He knew that look far too well and it did not bode well for Lucy or him if he didn't get out of here fast.

"Never mind I'll catch her later," he smiled and practically ran up the stairs to joins his friends on the second level. Flopping down on the bench next to Ever he froze at what he saw.

Laxus was smiling.

Not huge like a normal person, it was barely a slight lift of the corners of his mouth but it was a smile and on the grumpiest man alive's face! What? Was his only thought before he promptly fell off his seat onto the floor followed immediately by Freed and Ever.

The world was going to fucking end. There was no way that soft indulgent look now openly displaying on the Boss man's face could be real. Did he and his team come back to an alternate reality? Was Laxus under a spell? Following his fearless leader's gaze his own eyes landed on the only other blonde in the guild and his eyes widened.

Lucy, what had Lucy done to Laxus to make him look like a normal fucking person with feelings beyond angry and annoyed?

Glancing back up Laxus caught his eye, smirked, nodded his head to the side towards Lucy then winked then went back to drinking his beer like nothing happened.

Bickslow wasn't sure he could take anymore. Freed was having a fit of the vapors like an 18th century broad in the novels he read that he thought no one knew he owned and Ever was trying to help the greenette come back to his senses.

Whelp…there was only one thing he could do to get answers. Go ask the queen of everything cosplay what the hell was going on. Flipping up on his feet Bickslow hopped on his babies and swooped in on his target, snatched her in his arms and left the guild to laughs and whistles.
