When the World Became Dark
Summary: Kae loses her sight in an accident while on a mission. She struggles day to day on how to cope and get around. But nothing is impossible with a family like the Fairy Tail Guild.
A/N: This story has no real plot, and it is just some short scribbles that are helping me cope. They can be read as oneshots in a way, and may not be in order. I'm just writing them as they come to me. The reason for this is that I got some news about a week ago that I am slowly going blind and in a few years I will completely lose my sight. I'm pretty devastated right now… Everything is a mess, and this story might be a mess too, but it's a way for me to get everything out.
OC Notes: Kae Dragmire's magic is Shadow Summon and Shadow Make. Laxus and Kae are in a relationship. Kae is part of the Thunder Legion. Kae's guild mark is dark purple and located under her left wrist. Kae is 21 years old and has long black hair and violet eyes. (May add more notes in future chapters)
Chapter Six-Forever
"Tomorrow's the big day." Laxus said, "Too bad we can't stay together tonight."
"It's tradition." Kae smirked.
"Screw tradition…" Laxus muttered.
"Oh, stop pouting Laxus. You'll see your beautiful bride at the altar tomorrow." Evergreen snickered, "Now go on, get! You're cutting into our girl's night."
Kae felt the air swishing from Evergreen's fan as she shooed Laxus away.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm going." Laxus said, amusement in his voice. He gave Kae a lingering goodbye kiss, "Tomorrow is the first day of our forever. I can't wait."
"Me neither. Goodnight, Sparky." Kae smiled.
"Goodnight, Shadow-Hime." Laxus murmured, kissing her again.
Kae listened to his footsteps as they faded away. Evergreen snorted.
"He's so sweet to you, Kae. You lucky girl." She said wistfully, "Well then, let's head up to my room to drop your stuff off and change into our pj's. I'm sure the other girls are anxiously waiting for us."
…Next Day…
"Oh, Kae…" Mira whispered tearfully.
"You're so pretty!" Wendy exclaimed.
Kae flushed, embarrassed at feeling everyone's eyes on her, and tightened her grip on her bouquet made of violets and white lilies.
She wore a simple white halter dress that flowed from her hips to just below her knees and had a heart shape cut out on the chest to reveal some cleavage. White arm warmers covered her entire arms and ended at a point around her middle fingers, and simple low-heeled white pumps adorned her feet.
"Now for the something four!" Evergreen said, placing a tiara on her head. "Something old. Laxus told me this tiara has been worn by Dreyar brides for several generations."
"Something new." Erza said, fixing a beautiful, long veil with a lacy trim to her tiara. "This veil is a present everyone in the guild pitched in to buy for you."
"Something borrowed." Lucy said, placing a simple diamond bracelet on her wrist, "I'm lending you one of my favorite bracelets. It was my mother's."
"Something blue." Levy said, wrapping a long, wide ribbon around her waist and tying it into a big bow in the back. "A royal blue ribbon that symbolizes our ties and bonds of friendship and family as a guild."
Lisanna pulled the veil over her face and smoothed it out.
"And now, you're totally perfect!" She said.
"You guys…" Kae said, her eye tearing emotionally, "You're the best! Thank you so much!"
The door opened and Cana, Laki, Kinanna, and Bisca holding Asuka came in the room.
"Lookin' mighty beautiful there, Kae!" Bisca said.
"Everyone's ready to start now." Kinanna said.
"A-Already…?" Suddenly Kae did a one-eighty and swayed a bit. "I…I think I need to sit down for a moment…"
"Don't you be getting' cold feet now, girl!" Cana slung her arm around Kae's shoulders, startling her.
"That's right! Laxus is waiting for you!" Mira said, and nearly everyone cringed at the sight of the impatient demon matchmaker starting to show. "There's no time for nerves now!"
"It might seem scary at first, but this is a moment you'll cherish for the rest of your lives." Bisca said, "You'll look back one day, happier than ever, and wonder why you were ever nervous in the first place."
Kae took a deep breath, and slowly let it out. She did this a few more times and nodded.
"Okay. I'm ready now." She said, smiling brightly. "Thanks, you guys."
"Atta girl! Let's go get you hitched!" Cana yelled loudly.
…Just Outside The Guild…
The girls had gone inside the guild leaving Kae in front of the guild doors with Bickslow, whom she asked to walk her down the aisle. The two had a very close brother and sister like bond, so it was only right that she asked him to give her away.
"It seems like it was only yesterday that I joined Fairy Tail and gained such a loving and loyal team and family." Kae murmured.
"And now you're marrying one of the most powerful and incredible mages in the guild." Bickslow said, trying to hide the wobbling in his voice.
"Aww, Bicksy, are you crying?" Kae asked incredulously.
"Who me? Nah, you must be hearing things." Bickslow cleared his throat, trying to concealing his sniffling.
Kae smiled warmly and wrapping her arms around him. He squeezed her back tightly.
"…proud of you…" He murmured so quietly that she almost missed it. The wedding march then began to play and Bickslow let her go to link arms with her, "Well, it looks like it's time to get you and the boss married."
"Yeah." Kae whispered, heart pounding. "Hey Doll Face?"
"What's up, Princess Klutz?" He asked, and she heard the grin in his voice.
"You let me fall, and I'll tell everyone your deepest, darkest secret." She smirked.
"Wouldn't dream of it, brat." He chuckled and opened the doors.
…
"Kae Dragmire, I promise to love you always, to be faithful, and be by your side through the good times and the bad. I promise to lift you when you are down and to be the light that guides you. You will never be alone, whether you like it or not." Laxus vowed, and Kae giggled.
"Laxus Dreyar, I promise to love you always, to be faithful, and to be by your side through the good times and the bad. I promise to lift you when you are down and to never let the shadows drown out your spark. You will never be without me by your side, whether you like it or not." Kae vowed, sensed his smirk.
"And by those vows, and with the witness of friends and family, as Guild Master of Fairy Tail, I pronounce you husband and wife!" Makarov exclaimed joyfully, "Laxus, kiss your bride already!"
The guild erupted into cheers as Laxus dipped Kae and kissed her deeply.
…
A month later, upon Laxus and Kae's return from their honeymoon, Makarov had made the announcement of his retirement and that he had chosen to make Laxus his successor and the new Guild Master of Fairy Tail.
A/N: Yeah, sorry this chapter took so long to get out. I've been so busy with work and Thanksgiving and all... But I think there will be just one more chapter after this one and this story will be complete. Thanks to all who have read and reviewed so far!
