Four years ago
Let's go back four years ago to completely understand what happened between Laxus and Mystogan, shall we?
It started a few weeks after Laxus turned 19 years old, it was a sad and weary day. The rain and storms just wouldn't let up! Not that the lightning mage minded, after all, he was able to control things like this. What he couldn't stand was that he was trapped in a broom closet with another S-Class mage playing Hide-n-Seek with midgets! The other mage, as you probably have already guessed, is the cloaked Mystogan.
He seemed perfectly fine with lazing around for the time being while waiting to be found by the little kids that were pushed onto them from a peony mission by Makarov. Not cool geezer! Laxus thought stubbornly as he and Mystogan were practically shoulder-to-shoulder stuck up in the closet. Why haven't they attempted to escape, you ask? That is because the door is locked from the outside and had it not been for Makarov, Laxus would have busted out by now. The master of the guild only did this because his grandson had let two of the children fight each other and Mystogan was there because he didn't stop him.
-A few minutes earlier-
"Like that even matters! Who cares? It was just a brawl!". Laxus cried. "A "brawl" that could have resulted in injury!" Makarov protested pushing Laxus in the closest and growing out his arm to caught a fleeing Mystogan. Once caught, he flung the other mage into the closet with Laxus the two colliding heads. "Now! You two sit in here and think over what you did!" - "We didn't do anything! Hey!-Open the damn door!" Laxus pounded on the wooden door that was now sealed. "Give it up, Laxus." Laxus sent a glare of daggers towards the mage that just sat down on the floor wanting nothing to do with this mess.
That brings you to where to two are now, locked up shoulder-to-shoulder sitting down in a stuffy, smelly old closet. Laxus couldn't stand this though, Something interesting better happen fast! I can't take this! He complained mentally and absentmindedly glanced over at Mystogan whom he caught staring in his direction. The two instantly whipped their heads back in the opposite directions of each other. Mystogan could feel his heart hammering at his chest, and little did he know but so could the man next to him.
"Hey...uh...Mystogan…?"
"Yes?" The two glanced at each other.
"What exactly do you look like?"
Mystogan's eyes widened at the question. Why should he care? He's never wondered about that before! After all of the years in Fairy Tail never ONCE has he shown his face too anyone but the master. He swallowed the lump in his throat. "I'll show you, but you must promise not to tell anyone else." He said his cheeks turning a hue of pink when he saw Laxus nod and looked as giddy as a two year old getting candy. Mystogan slowly reached up and slipped his index finger into his mask and carefully ripping it off. He didn't dare to turn back to Laxus.
"Hey…" Laxus caught Mystogan's chin in between his index finger and thumb and turned his head to face him. His eyes traced the red mark over his right eye, his defined chin, and landed on his slightly full lips. Their eyes meet, and the two start to lean closer Laxus slightly tilted his head to the right and began to close the gap between their lips faster than he imagined. Sure he always wanted to know what the boy looked like, and sure as of now he did kind of want to test his life (love life too), so he continued to lean closer to Mystogan. Then, Laxus almost giggled. He smirked just as their lips brushed. "You're kind of pretty, Mystogan…" Said the blonde. Then, just as their lips grazed again, Mystogan spit out saying, "Shut up….!"
As a few days passed on, the two youngsters grew closer in a way unlike the other guild members. Little did they know their feelings for each other might have grown to be more than fellowship.
Meanwhile on a stormy night, a certain blue haired boy sat peering out of a glass window….
He reached up to his unmasked face and itched away an annoying feeling on his chin. Rubbing his hand up the right side of his face passing over his eye and brow he twisted a piece of hair that stuck out in front of his eye. Mystogan was currently sitting in his small two-roomed apartment in one of the dining chairs he dragged over from the dining table. The room was lit with the icy glow of the moonlight. The wizard believed he loved everything about this small room. Only two rooms, one was the bathroom and the other was the bedroom. The living room, kitchen, and small dining room was covered in dark navy blue walls with chestnut colored paneling.
The hard wooden floor gave the boy a feeling of security knowing that it would not let him fall. The dainty kitchen and the small sofa sitting on the wall on the left side of the window Mystogan was facing with a small bookshelf crammed into the corner. He didn't own a television or any electronic devices, he saw no need in them because he was out on missions all of the time. There weren't any pictures hanging on the walls nor anything spectacular anywhere. It was plain and Mystogan liked it that way.
The melodic sound of water running in the shower stopped. Laxus must be done. The bluenet thought and stood from his place in front of the window and was about to turn around when strong arms pulling him into a backwards hug. A smile crossed his features and he wrapped his arms around them. "Hello Laxus," he greeted the other male as Laxus just hummed in response and nuzzled into Mystogan's neck.
Mystogan tilted his head to give the other more access to his neck and felt him plant a kiss on it. Mystogan then thought of something, "Wait Laxus are you still-" he was cut off and spun around when the blonde crashed their lips together. Mystogan caught himself his hands on Laxus's bare chest as the mage's hand snaked around his waist pressing them closer together. As I thought, he didn't even bother to dress. The wizard mentally rolled his eyes while kissing the other back. His lips felt soft and tasted like peppermints. Laxus made the next move licking Mystogan's top lip asking for entrance into a French Kiss. He replied by opening his mouth just enough for Laxus to slide his tongue inside.
They stood cuddling each other in a deep French Kiss for a good while and then parted for air a string of saliva in between their now parted lips. Just as Laxus was about to go in for another deep kiss Mystogan stopped him by pressing his index finger to his lips, "We shouldn't…" He whispered his eyes casted down. Laxus clenched his teeth and pulled him into his chest, "I can't stand not having you….!" He spit out holding back tears of sadness and anger. The other mage didn't say anything and was soon lead over to the bedroom to two shared and then laid down on his back. Mystogan looked up at Laxus just in time to see a puff of blonde hair in sight. "Laxus wa-!" He was cut off by a sharp pain on his neck. "Laxus…!" He breathed squirming underneath him. "Let go-that hurts…!" Laxus finally let go of his neck and pushed himself up towering over Mystogan's form and then he licked his lips.
"You taste good," he complimented causing Mystogan's face to flush red, "I don't want to hear that from you!" He retorted and gently touched the spot in his neck that stung so violently. "Laxus...how could you..?" The said blonde male rolled over on his back and flopped down next to the sleep magic user. "I just marked you...it's no big-" Mystogan sat up holding his neck, "You bit me damn it!" He cried exasperatedly. Laxus scoffed and shrugged, "It was just a nibble." He said and rolled on his left side. He heard a sigh and then felt pain on his shoulder. "Well you didn't have to hit me." He chuckled. "That's all I can do to you, consider yourself lucky." The man retorted and laid down as well. The moonlight was so bright in the room now peering in through the cracks in the blinds. The whole room was soundless, well all except for the small sounds of soft breathing coming from the two males. Slowly they rolled over to face each other, both stretching out their hands and intertwining their fingers. "I love you…" They both whispered in unison and then chuckled pressing their foreheads together. The couple fell asleep just like that.
The next morning however wasn't so pleasant…
