The whole guild partied like never before, not even when they won the grand magic game. Mira and Cana even managed to get a DJ in a matter of half an hour and Mira pulled out the hidden alcohol statch to the happiness of everyone. Laxus to the surprise of everyone came downstairs to a party in months now rather than just working, going on missions or going back home. He walked to the thunder legion table and sat down next to Bickslow who had to turn his head away to smile.
He was not going to show how happy he is that Laxus is back. The whole guild had been worried about this guy, and he felt relieved that his best friend was finally okay. His totems reciprocated his feelings and flew above the dragons head chirping happily making Laxus smile a little. "Welcome back bossman." Bickslow rolled his tongue out and punched his leader in his shoulder. Laxus rolled his eyes but it felt good to sit in the Guildhall, well, because Lucy was there.
His eyes looked up to search for her in the crowded place and he saw her sitting in the middle of the guild hall with her friends ad the blue Neko who had just stopped crying and was now nuzzling her neck. Laxus could practically hear happy's purr from where he sat. He could not believe he was jealous of a cat.
Bixlow saw where his gaze was fixed and he had to suppress a chuckle, he did not want to get zapped so soon. He knew what she meant to him because both their souls had a very similar pattern missing in them. A perfect puzzle. He also knew that Lucy was the best woman for him and he was simply happy for him, a little envious that the Hot bombshell was made for him.
Meanwhile, Lucy sat with her friends and was telling her about the last four months, keeping away the fact about her mentor for now and just told them about her spirits training her and all the new things she learned. She knew she should tell them but she would be waiting for the perfect moment for that. Of course, she will tell Master about her new abilities. He ran her hand through happy's fur and smiled at him when he curled more into her arms. None of them spoke for a minute and just sat in each others company, even Mira and Kinana sat with them and Lucy felt so happy just being with them. The next words just tumbled out of her mouth as she continues stroking Happy gently.
"When i was sitting at my apartment after the games all i could think about was how weak i was, even if i was deceived during a match i was just... not able to do it. I felt so angry at myself because of that because i wanted to be able to protect my family, to show i was a true member of Fairytail. Then after two months in an isolated place in the mountains, i felt so stupid for leaving without saying goodbyes. I just felt so lonely even if i was not. The only thing that gave me drive was that i have a family waiting for me back here and if i came back without improving myself for some reason i will be betraying the trust you put in me by letting me go." She wipes a lone tear and smiles at all the girls who sat at the table.
Her cheeks burned with embarrassment as she saw all the guild members listening to her. She covered her face with her hands and mumbled under her breath making her friends laugh.
"You are perfect to us the way you are Luce, you don't need to change." Natsu ruffled her hair and she huffed and swatted his hand away. By the amount of time people have messed with her hair now, it must look like a birds nest right now. She smiled at him and for some strange reason she felt this need to look at Laxus and saw him leaning against his hand and looking at her with such a deep look on his face it made her cheeks turn even red. She looked away and mentally flinched when she saw Levy smirking at her.
"Alright, people. Lucy is back and now let's get the real party started!" Cana climbed on the table and pointed at the DJ who smirked at her and the light of the Hall turned off before he turned on the stage lights and the Guildhall looked like a club. Cana grabbed Lucy's hand and dragged her to the dance floor and was followed soon by the others. lucy laughed and twirled around feeling the warmth spread throughout her body and a heart-melting smile on her face.
It felt like hours after they managed to drag themselves off the floor and sat at the bar chatting with each other. It was already 12:12 and Wendy left to go home since felt really sleepy. half of the people were unconscious on the floor. Only the girls sat together huddled over a table laughing and chatting while on the only awake male members were Grey Natsu Thunder legion, Gildarts, and master. Both the senior mages looked at the blonde and noticed the earring she wore and the bracelet both were suspicious to them for some reason.
They saw her stand up and walk towards their table and Master Makarovnoticed hoe her stance and posture had improved and if it was not for he sweet personality people from afar would find it intimidating. Something has changed.
He also noticed how his grandson could not take his eyes off her and how her eyes found his every now and then. 'Heh, they would make such cute grandbabies.' he mentally smiled at the image and looked up as the celestial mage stood in front of him.
"Master, would you mind if i took a bit of your time, i wanted to talk to you."She stood with her hands behind her back and the permanent smile on her face. Master nodded and hopped off the table and was a little surprised when both Gildarts and Laxus followed them.
Lucy felt him next to her as they walked up the stairs and looked at him from under the lashes when his hand brushed against her's making her heart flutter. Mavis, she had it so bad for him. She took a deep breath and entered the office and looked around and looked at Gildarts who plopped on the sofa and then at Laxus who leaned against the door. She had to force her eyes away from him and calm her heart.
"What did you want to talk about, child?" Master asked as he jumped on the table and sat down crossing his legs looking like a child.
"Well...Um... i really don't know how to explain it to you master... but on my way out of Magnolia i met someone." Lucy paused as she looked at the master and she was sure she heard a low growl. She let out a long breath and continued, " Her name is...Aliyaa Monici." She saw Gildarts and master sat up straighter. "She told me that for centuries Celestial mages had not been taught their actual magic and that Celestial magic was just to help the said mage during their fights so she offered to help me." I see Laxus from the corner of my eye and saw him looking at me curiously.
" At first i was a little wry of her so I called out Loki and he told me that the person is not a fake and was actually who she said to be. Um... She... uh- told me that centuries ago Celestial mages were like Guardians and they were the holders of a forgotten magic and that only a pure-hearted person could use it." I raise my hand and remove the earring from my ear and cleared my throat.
I could see their eyes bulging out and i felt my cheeks redden a bit.
" She taught me my true magic... Angel magic."
Lying down in the living room in Fairy hill Lucy looked at the ceiling and sighed. After telling them about her magic, Both master and Gildarts were shocked but as for Laxus the pride that shone through his eyes made Lucy feel so happy that she wanted to see that same look more and more. She did tell them to keep it a secret because she wanted to tell her friends on her own.
She turned over and closed her eyes feeling the day's exhaustion take over her body before falling into sleep, to be greeted by the grey-eyed dragon slayer.
