Lucy stood in front of the mirror and frowned. Something has changed and Lucy could feel it. Her hair was a mixture of two different shades of blonde, not that she was complaining, but she didn't do it or had asked Cancer to do it either! Second, her eyes. They were brown but she could see the gold in them. It made her wonder if something was wrong with her or was this just her magic. And finally Third. The biggest difference which had her freaking out. Her shoulder blades were covered with swirls of White and Gold tattoo which again she did not get! She took a deep breath and told herself its part of her magic now.
It was 6:30 and they had to leave in half an hour for the station and she looked around to make sure she had everything. She had already packed her bags and stored them in the spirit realm and huffed a frustrated breath before she walked to her attached bathroom and turned the water in the sink on to wast her face. Lucy stared at her image in the mirror when she felt the familiar magic beside her. For a second she thought it was going to be Loke but when she saw the mermaid floating next to her she frowned.
"Aquarius? is something wrong?" She turned towards her and saw the spirit look at her before she sighed an angry breath and said, "A...friend of mine paid me a visit and wants you to find his key. It's in Magnolia and i want you to find it before you leave for your mission." She glared at the blonde who kept looking at her with a confused expression. Aquarius felt her heart melt at the sight of those innocent eyes but she kept her stony facade.
"The only thing I will tell you is that you will find it near South Gate Park."With that, the spirit disappeared and Lucy looked at the space she had been in, confused. Once she gained her senses her eyes widened and she rushed towards her backyard and towards Laxus's house. She had no idea why she did it but she did it anyway.
Lucy knocked on his door, basically jumping with impatience when he finally opened the door and looked at her confused. "Laxus! I have to run a very urgent errand! i might be late to get to the station!" She explained quickly and turned around to run, as if on auto piolet when Laxus grabbed her hand and pulled her back. "Hold on Blondie. Let me get my bag and we can go together." He didn't give her much of a choice but pulled her inside so that she did not run away and grabbed both of his bags. Lucy ran her hand through her hair and flicked her wrist requesting Virgo to store his luggage in the spirit world.
Laxus stood there for a couple of seconds when a pink hair spirit took the bags out of his hand and disappeared and looked at Lucy who didn't waste any time and grabbed his hand pulling him with her.
Lucy jogged her way towards the Park, ignoring Laxus who tried to ask what this errand of hers was?
Laxus ran after her and tried not to think that maybe she was going there to say bye to someone. Was she? What if it was a male? it made both him and his dragon growl at the thought. He looked at Lucy once again she stood at the gate and closed her eyes, standing very still. He saw her open them and suddenly sprint towards the centre of the park. Both the blondes ignored the people looking at them and continued doing whatever the fuck they were doing. Not that Laxus minded doing this, as long as he was with her. He saw her take an abrupt left and followed her until she stopped in front of an old building at the end of the park.
He was about to ask what she was doing when she opened the door and entered, what he guessed was a chapel. Laxus sniffed, trying to catch a scent if anyone was here but caught none. He instead saw his mate walk up to that seemed a stone and put her palm on it, closing her eyes once again.
It was for sure that he would never get used to seeing her perform Magic because his whole body involuntarily relaxed when the white light radiated out of her hand and the stone began to crack. He walked closer towards her and gasped when he saw a key instead of a rock.
Lucy turned towards the dragon slayer with a biggest of smiles. "I am sorry to make you run around like this. Aquarius said that a spirit wanted to make a contract with me so I had to find the key here in South gate park. I thought it would take me a little more time to do so." She looked at the key and gasped to find a copper one. She recognised the sign and gulped.
"Something wrong Boldie?" Laxus asked frowning at the surprised girl. He saw her shake her head and hold the key in front to him and send a bit of her magic in it.
"With the powers of the stars and guardians invested in me, i command thy to come forth! The ruler of Time and Light- CHRONOS." Laxus had to squint his eyes a little to see the light and nearly growled when he saw the new spirit. It was a male with white hair, almost as tall as him. But that was not a problem. The problem was he was not wearing a vest, and Lucy was gawking at him. The spirit bowed down and said.
"Princess, my name is Chronos and i master in the manipulation and control of time and light magic. I would like to create a contract with you." He looked the bulked up blonde behind her who was glaring at him. Chronos was not new in this game and he knew, sensing the magic from the male and living throughout history to understand that he was a dragon slayer and his new master (to be) was his mate.
His eyes were back to the lady who was smiling at him. "I would love to make a contract with you. Please tell me they days you are available and if any particular situation or magic can be harmful to you." Lucy smiled at the definitely good looking spirit, oblivious to the burning glares the man was receiving.
"I am available for the princess anytime she requires me and though it pains me to admit, i have a certain weakness for earth magic and i can travel in past only but only to witness and never to change. I can stop the present time for maximum 5 minutes." He smiled at the blonde who took in all the information and smiled at him once more.
"Well then, Chronos i promise to bind by the contract."The spirit bows once more before disappearing back to the Spirit realm. She looks the watch and gasps and then looks at Laxus who stood close to her, arms crossed with almost no emotions on his face. "The train will be there in five minutes! we will never make it back in time!" Lucy cursed under her breath and was thinking about calling the spirit back to freeze the time, and as if Laxus heard what she thought growled lowly. He grabbed her waist and pulled her small body towards him, trying not to purr out loud at the feeling of her body pressed against him. Ignoring the 'Laxus?' that came from the women Laxus leans down and whispers.
"Hold on tight." Before letting the lightning surround them and gulped when he looked at Lucy who gasped and pressed her face against his chest. He let the growl of approval escape his throat, knowing she cant hear him over the rush she felt. Lucy felt her weight turn into zero for a few seconds before her feet touched the ground once again and she took a deep breath against Laxus's chest almost moaning at his manly scent.
She opened her eyes and looked around to find herself standing in front of the station. "wha..How did we...?" she looked at the blonde once again, who had yet to remove his hands from her waist and frowned before her cheeks turned pink and she stepped out of his hold.
Laxus cleared his throat, trying not to let the disappointment seep into his voice and said, "Lightning teleport Blondie." he grinned at her, and before he could stop, he moved his fingers through her hair to settle them down making her blush even more.
Both the blondes sprang apart from each other when a familiar Gihi was heard. Lucy looked a Gajeel in pure horror making him laugh even more and shivered next to Laxus when the lightning Dragon growled at the Bucket-head.
She walked past both of them, cheeks ablaze with Embarrassment and muttered as she passed by Gajeel. "A word about it tin head and i will Lucy kick your ass to Edolas." Ignoring how Gajeel shuddered and Laxus smirked. She hurried inside the station followed by both the men and smiled when she saw Wendy, Juvia Lily and Carla sitting on the bench waiting for them.
"Good morning." She smiled at them and brushed her finger on Virgo's key who appeared in seconds and gently took the Luggage from everyone before disappearing back into the Spirit Realm. Lucy sat next to Juvia who was petting Lily and smiling at him. She bumped shoulders with him and for fun sake said.
"Hot Guy, 4'o' clock." Making Juvia turn her head and she blushed looking at the stranger she mentioned. He Had brown hair and was tall, Like her Grey-sama. He was well built and Juvia had a feeling he was a mage. She looked away, thinking that, even looking at another guy was like cheating on her beloved Grey-sama. She leaned in closer to Lucy and mumbled, " He is not Grey-sama." making both Lucy and Wendy giggle.
Gajeel had already purchased the tickets for everyone so as soon as the train stopped, the team made their way to the berth compartment and Lucy sat next to the window looking at the other and giggling again when both Gajeel and Wendy rushed to the upper bed getting an eye roll from Laxus who sat next to Lucy.
Carla and Lily Curled up next to their partners and Juvia lifted her feet up on the empty seat and closed her eyes. Everyone woke up early so they closed their eyes and dozed off as soon as the train started.
She did see Gajeel turn pale and grumble under his breath, but because Wendy had already dealt with the motion sickness for both the Dragon Slayers they were not sick, just uncomfortable.
Something in Lucy Didn't want Laxus to be uncomfortable, so when he groaned and put his headphones on in order to distract himself, Lucy tugged his sleeve before patting her lap.
" Put your head in my lap, it helps." she smiled at him and Laxus looked at her frowning.
"Yeah? How is that?" He raised his eyebrow at her, vaguely aware of Gajeel looking at them who held his breath knowing what Lucy was about to say.
"It helps Natsu when Erza does not knock him out. Now come on." Lucy patted her lap smiling at the blonde who without wasting any time laying down and rubbed his head against her toned stomach. He was not going to ever admit the silent purr and rumble he let out when she ran her hair through his hair and Laxus could feel the uncomfortable feeling leave him in a second.
But in the back of his mind, both he and his dragon were going to have a nice conversation with Natsu (Again). The thought of her having another male so close to her made him want to murder. She was his and only his.
