Moments before the sun rose that moment Mystogan woke up from a terrible nightmare panting heavily in cold sweat. He sat up in bed and ran his hand through his hair as an attempt to calm himself. His heart was pounding. That explosion... Magnolia completely disappearing...what if it was all true? The wizard rarely had night visions but when he did the majority of them were nightmares. He slid his legs out from the covers and staggered over to the bathroom closing the door before flipping on the light. He thought he might as well not wake Laxus.
He flipped on the shower and turned the dial all the way to the left to run hot water. As the water transferred from cold to hot, Mystogan stripped his clothes setting him in the small laundry basket in the bathroom. Mystogan stepped into the shower dragging the curtain to a close behind him. He wet his hands first dragging them over his face and through his hair and then walked all the way under the shower head letting the water pour down on his body. Mystogan gave a sigh of relief as the water warmed his body washing off the remainder of the sweat.
When he got out of the shower and wrapped himself in a towel he came back into the room glancing over at the sleeping lump wrapped up in the comforter and smiled opening the closet door and pulling out another pair of clothes. After drying off his body he dressed up in his usual outfit picking out another mask but he didn't put it on yet. Instead he strode over to Laxus and watched him sleep his chest causing the covers to rise and fall to his breathing. His smile grew wider and he leaned over and planted a kiss on Laxus's cheek and forehead before rising to his feet and disappearing from sight.
When he awoke only a few hours later to find his lover gone the lightning mage boiled in angry sadness. "That...bastard...!" He cursed and clenched his fist together tightly. That day was only thunderstorms and rain in Magnolia and nobody knew the reason why except for two people, one who was lamenting over the other whilst the other passed the border to another world in search of a magic portal.
