Prompt: "Why the hell are you bleeding?!" for Bixlu - Empress of Everything
Dubious Parenting
Lucy walked into the guild in high spirits after her morning with Levy. As much as she loved her boys, it was nice to get out of the house for a few hours (or days) and get some much needed girl time.
So the first thing she did upon walking into the guild was seek out her husband and their seven year-old son. She saw the familiar heads of blue hair sitting at a table with Natsu, Juvia, and their own five year-old son, and Lucy's smile only got brighter as she headed towards them all.
"Hey, kiddo," she beamed as she threw her arms around her son's shoulders from behind and went to kiss his cheek. She only stopped when she noticed the distinct metallic taste of blood on her lips, and she quickly straightened up to look down at August's face. Though he was grinning ear-to-ear, unlike his father who was only sneakily trying to slink away from his wife, there was a large gash on the side of his forehead, right above one almond-shaped eye with the curl at the end, and the side of his face was completely covered in the mostly dried crimson liquid. "Why the hell are you bleeding!?"
"Dad let me try some tricks on the babies!" August answered, and just like that, Lucy's main focus wasn't about making sure her baby boy was okay. No, he'd honestly been through worse with Bickslow as his father (the amount of times he'd been dropped as a baby was something that Laxus still teased the Seith mage about, even though he'd dropped his daughter just as many times when she'd been young). Lucy's main focus then was finding her husband.
She quickly scanned the guild once she noticed the Seith mage had disappeared from where he'd been sitting just next to August, and then found him creeping towards the doors. "Bickslow, I swear to god, if you don't turn around right now, I am going to divorce your ass so quic–"
Lucy only cut herself off when Bickslow suddenly broke into a run right after letting out an uncharacteristic yelp, then quickly fell backwards and landed on the floor with a groan and a loud thud, and with a broken nose from where the heavy guild door had been opened right in his face, revealing a surprised and happy Laxus standing just outside.
Lucy loved the guy, but he kinda deserved that, and so she only sat down next to her son and returned to being the worried mother she was always going to be. Her husband would be fine.
