I remember hearing the word mate, and I completely shut down. "This is not possible. I am not hearing him correctly." I looked up into those steely grey eyes, chugged my glass of wine. Blinked a couple of times then passed the fuck out. I am not one who has delicate sensibilities like all the wilting heiresses I was raised around, but this was an utter shock to my system. I knew it was a dream, where else would this sexy Thor say that I am his eternally. This was not really happening. I let my own insecurities take over from there. I awoke the next morning, wrapped in Laxus' signature fur trimmed coat, still lying on the couch, with a damp washcloth on my head. Laxus was nowhere to be found. Taking this as a sign that I indeed passed out from what I expect was my crying jagg, I chalked the whole thing up to a dream. Jotting a quick note thanking the handsome hunk for dinner and a shoulder to cry on, I gathered my scant belongings and left. I had made it to the train and purchased my ticket just in time for the two minute warning on it leaving the station. I remember it not being a crowded car and scoring a window seat. Opening the window as the train started to lurch forward I caught a glimpse of Blonde hair running along the waiting area outside the train. He was carying a pink box from a bakery and two large coffees in his hands. "I guess he went to get us breakfast." I thought to myself. I stood up, sticking my head out the window just in time to catch him a few cars back scanning the passengers from outside the cars. "Laxus!" I yell. He immediately turns to look at me and tries to run over. I yell for him the "watch out!" because of a luggage cart in his path. He doesn't heed my warning and crashes right into it, coffee and danishes flying everywhere, as the train is slowly leaving the station. I see him yelling to me as the train blasts it's horn. "Thank you for last night Sparky!" I yelled and waved to the poor downed and coffee drowned slayer who was fumbling to get back up. Thinking back on the "dream" from last night, I fantasized about actually being his mate. Us living together, raising a family, being back in Fairy Tail again. Breaking out of that reverie, I call my boss, Jason, and confirm the time we need to meet tomorrow to cover the opening ceremony of this years Geand Magic Games.
