Because of going to your parents home that evening, Laxus & Letty skip out of the job with The Thunder Legion. Instead Wendy & Carla went. Wendy mainly going with Team Natsu, but every once in awhile she'll still go out with another team. Going with Levy & Gajeel is her favorite though, besides Team Natsu. Natsu & Gajeel are her big brothers & Levy & Lucy are her big sisters, she never had.
Letty sits down at the bar next to Gramps whose sitting cross legged on the bar. He opens an eye saying "I thought it was you." You smile brightly saying "how's it going today Gramps?" "Calmer than usual." Mira laughs smiling wide saying "that's because everyone is going out on more & more jobs, not so many here." Letty, Mira, & Gramps look out around he bar & Letty says "I didn't realize how dead it actually was. But I guess that a good thing. Nice to have a break every once in awhile." Gramps says "oh Letty I wanted to thank you?" "Wh-wha-what for!?" He chuckles, which honestly kinda scares Letty & he says "for coming into my boys life. He always walked a distant path, for awhile I thought I lost him to the darker side. Thought he'd be joining the ranks of a dark guild, like his fathers. He grew up a lot since then. But then you came along & he's grown up a lot more. It's like complete night & day. Never before did I ever think I could trust this guild to him. But thanks to you shining light on his life, I think I could now. Which has me thinking about doing so. I'm getting to old for this." Letty is speechless, wide eyed, mouth open. Gramps chuckles laughing & says "yer gonna catch some bugs in that mouth if ya don't close it." Making Letty snap out of it saying "well I wouldn't so much as thank me, but Laxus as well. I didn't do it for him. He grew up on his own. Just took having something to live for more than just your comrades & the guild. Someone you have an intimate bond with." Gramps nods agreeing.
That night they walk hand in hand to Letty's parents home. Liz answered a the door instantly gasping & tearing up. She pulls Letty into a hug & says "your home. Your done training. Wow you look amazing." Letty laughs hugging her back & says "mom, okay, can I breathe please?" "Oh sorry hunny, I've just missed you. & Laxus, how are you?" She pulls him into a hug as well as he replies "I'm great, lil beat up at the moment from a job yesterday. But all that training we did really helped." "Well come on in, dinner will be ready in a few, are you staying Laxus?" Letty smiles taking his hand & says "mom actually there's something we'd like to tell you. Where's daddy?" She looks quizzically at the two of you before saying "in the study." Letty pulls Laxus along with her mom in tow walking to the study. She knocks twice & says "daddy?" Shuffling & grunts can be heard through the door, finally it opens & with a burst Kellin gasps "Letty!" & hugs her tightly "Dad. Air. Please."
After the hellos everyone sits down inside the study & Letty begins... "Mom. Dad. I've moved in with Laxus. We've actually been home for 2 days. Was just a bunch of things that needed to be done before I come back here. & plus the first day & night was just eatting & sleeping & oh like a 5 hour bath & shower. (Both laughed at the 5 hour wash.) But while we were away training for the last 5 months we got close." Laxus takes Letty's hand & says "you don't see or say Laxus or Letty without the other pretty much now. We've as I would say kinda become one. I don't want you to be angry with me or anything Mr. & Mrs. Palmer. But I love your daughter, & even though I know she'd be safe here. I have to have her in my presence. It's a dragon thing, their hoarders. Once they have a treasure they will do anything to protect it. They keep it close, they never let go, & if they lose it their driven mad. She has helped me see the light in everything." By this time Letty is crying & Liz is a little misty eyed. Laxus kisses the knuckles of her fingers & Letty whispers "I love you too." This was the first time those words had been spoken between the two of them, & it felt good. Finally Kellin says "how could I be angry with you after that speech? & I can see the connection you two have. I seen it the first first day you reunited us with our daughter." Letty blushes at the thought of sitting in Laxus' lap when her parents walked into the infirmary. Kellin continues "but you've gotta promise that even though she is moving in with you. The two of you will show up once every two weeks at least for dinner & to check in with us. & if you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask." Letty jumps up going to her dad hugging him as she cries saying "thank you daddy. & yes I promise we'll come to dinner!"
-after dinner-
Everyone's lounging around the sitting room. Liz is sitting on the edge of a over stuffed chair with Letty sitting cross legged on the ottoman in front. Liz is brushing her daughters hair out & braids a long braid down the middle tying it at the end. Liz says "your hairs gotten so long, & it feels amazing." "Spring water really does wonders on it huh?" They both laugh & continue to talk. Kellin and Laxus are having a serious hushed conversation over on the other side of the room next to the wet bar. Both look serious but relaxed with a glass of scotch deep in conversation. Starla and Ro are laying on the floor in front of the fire talking like little girls, it was nice seeing Starla so relaxed & giddy. Letty takes in this moment.. Feeling content, feeling this is how things should be, everything is perfect.
Soon it's time to retire to the bedrooms, surprisingly her parents (mainly her father) trusts them to sleep in the same room. So Kellin & Liz set out to one end of the huge house and Laxus, Letty, Starla, & Ro to the other end. Mid way through the hall Letty opens up a door & Starla says "welcome to my room Ro. Your gonna love it." Letty says "Starla why don't you get you guys some night clothes & go to the bathroom and change. I'll fold your bed down & get extra pillows for Ro." Starla nods skipping over to the closet, pulling Ro along with her. After Letty has the bed fixed for the two they emerge from the bathroom. By now both are rubbing their eyes, Laxus picks them up walking towards the bed. They each hug him as he sets the down, Letty leans over each kissing their foreheads saying "goodnight guys, see you in the morning." They mumble good nights & Laxus & Letty slip out of the room continuing down the hall.
Laxus opens the door gesturing for her to walk in saying "my lady." Letty giggles & blushes before walking in. Letty says "I'll get you something else to change into and you can go get a shower." He nods & proceeds to the bathroom as she walks to the closet. Her searches through the clothes finding some of the way way over sized shirts she has & basketball shorts. They were her dads, she sometimes like to wear way to big of stuff. And then she searches for her something & grabs two towels before heading into the bathroom. It's already full of steam & Letty says "here's some clothes and a..." She trails off as she looks through the glass seeing Laxus. He body glistening with the water, the steam fogs her vision. And suddenly she is getting very hot all over. She feels the need to be near him, she wants to feel him, every bit of him. She wants to take claim on what's hers. Her Dragon instincts of not only protecting their treasure kicked in. But the need to claim her treasure. She wanted him...
She slowly undressed, it was as if he never heard her because he never once looked over. She quickly opens the glass door and slips in. She takes a moment to take it all in, then steps forward wrapping her arms around him. She digs her nails into his chest hugging him tightly, kissing his back softly. Laxus was startled, shocked that she'd actually taking the step first. He gave a low growl as her nails dug into him, closing his hands over her's as she kisses his back. But he wouldn't let her take dominance away from him. He turns around in her arms, pushing her against the stone wall in the shower. He picks her up then fully pins her against the wall, one hand under her ass & the other on the wall by her head. Their staring intensively into each other's eyes, he smirks gripping the back of her neck pulling her into a kiss. It quickly roughens & gets aggressive. She nips his lip making him growl, she growls back. She feels himself hardening underneath her and her mouth gaps open a bit. He takes his chance, claiming her mouth. Exploring every inch, she does the same. Once they pull away they are left breathless. Their foreheads lay against each other and he says "let's continue this in bed my lady." And nips her bottom lip. They step out of the shower after he turns it off, they roughly towel dry. But Laxus can't wait another second & picks her up. She wraps her legs around his waist & her arms around his neck. He smirks, but she's a devil and smirks before she leans down kissing & nipping his neck. He gasp, moaning and just as he makes it to the bed he lays her down.
Still between her legs he stands there gazing down at this beauty he was going to very soon claim as his own. She gazed up at her dragon, who was going to claim her just as much she was going to claim him. Marking their territory for forever. She reaches up laying her fingers lightly on his chest, sliding them down over his chiseled perfectly sculpted body. He takes her hand, gripping the wrist joint the two holding them over her head. As he's leaning over he inhales her scent; sweet and seductive with a hint of innocence. He takes claim her mouth with his again, taking his free hand traveling it up her thigh, up her side, and cups her breast. Thumb sliding up her taught nipple. He smirks very pleased & trails kisses to her neck as his hand slides down her stomach covering her sex. She raises her hips into him asking him to do so. Without hesitation & with a jolt he plunges his finger into her. He heat radiates off their bodies.
Letty had never had sex before, but even she knew there was a difference between sex & making love. What they had just shared was more passionate, intimate, loving. He was still caressing her curves, skimming his hand along her back & bum as she laid their on top of him. Her ear lay against his chest listening to his heartbeat, her eyes closed relishing in the memory. She bites her lip & looks up to her dragon whispering "I love you." He pulls her up into a kiss rolling them on the side, as she snuggles into him he says "I know." And they drift to sleep.
Laxus is the first awake, Letty's a few inches away from him so he growls low not to wake her up pulling her back into him. He nuzzles her neck cuddling her, holding her in his arms. It takes another half hour or so for her to wake up, but when she does she's all smiles. She sleepily purrs "Mmm good morning Sparky." He grins "good morning Shorty. We should prolly take a proper before seeing your parents this morning. You go on ahead I'll strip the bed." He pulls her into a kiss, she makes it extra long. He smirks watching her walk a way as her hips sway back & forth.
After breakfast and small idle talk with Letty's parents the rest of the morning is spent packing. Starla & Ro are packing Starla's room up & Laxus is helping Letty in her room. She doesn't pack to much stuff; mostly clothes, make-up, her jewelry chest, toiletries, some other odds n ends, & keepsakes. She also heads down to the library to pack a number of her books that will put into the study. Once all the boxes are taken downstairs they are put on a wagon outside. As their saying their goodbyes Kellin hands Letty 3 shoe boxes in a bag with a letter in an envelope, he says "wait till you get home to open the letter & find out what this is. I love you, see you in a couple weeks for dinner." Hugging her dad tightly & then her mom, waving good bye as they walk away. She places the bag on the wagon by the cats & walks up to Laxus as he pulls it. She giggles saying "you look like Erza when she's going on a mission." He says "oh do not compare me to Tatiana of all people." Look dead pain serious, then busts up laughing as well.
Once home & everything is inside, Letty sets out unpacking & getting the house into order. Laxus carries Starla's boxes to their room & Ro helps her. Laxus unpacks the few boxes of books, placing them along the shelves in his study. Letty is rearranging things in the closet making room for hers, finally she's satisfied and starts hanging hers up & filling the drawers. She left the bag her father gave her downstairs on the coffee table, so hurries so she can find out what it is.
Laxus & Letty are sitting on the couch, the cats in the chair. Letty pulls the letter out opening it up & it reads...
"My Dearest Letty,
This is the happiest sad day of my life. I'm sad of course to see my girl finally move out, but I am happy you've found your own. Since the day we took you in you've been the light of our world, & it over joys me to see you've become the light for someone else world. We really like Laxus, I don't think you could've found a more perfect life partner.
Now I'm sure you're sitting there waiting anxiously for me to tell you what's in the boxes. Well the day after you came into our lives I started a trust fund for you and also at home whatever was in my pockets at the end of the day I put away for you. Well the trust fund, you have 4 months till your birthday & then you'll have access to it. But these shoe boxes. This is what is from my pockets every night. This was the plan all along, the day you moved out you got the boxes & your 18th birthday you get the trust fund. & if you ever need anything, even money. Don't hesitate to ask, were here for you.
Love You,
Dad"
Letty is a mess of tears as she lays the letter in her lap pulling a box out having to open the lid to confirm what she read. She gasps, so doesn't Laxus & he asks "are they all full of money?" Letty nods & wipes her face saying "yeah. The day after they found me he started a trust fund for me that I'll get access to on my 18th birthday. & every night whatever was left in his pockets at the end of the day was put up for me. & I got that the day I moved out. So here we are, 3 shoe boxes full of money. & who knows how much more in 4 months. Wow, my parents really are special." Letty giggles & says "Imma stash these away, let's head to the guild for dinner. I'm paying." Laxus says "thank gods, now you won't be burning a hole in my pockets." & chuckles loudly, Letty punches his arm as she up laughing saying "oi, shut it."
He throws her over his shoulder walking upstairs. She kicks & punches his back "put me down!" "No." Once they make it to the bedroom he throws her on the bed, she's laughing hard. He leans down over & she stops, staring him directly into the eyes. Her face heats up, her breathing get deep, & her heart pounds against her chest. She lays a hand on his chest slowly sliding it up. He gets down on his elbow sliding his hand under her, pulling her to him. His free hand moves a single strand of hair from her face before rest on her cheek. Her hand slides to his neck, pulling him towards her. Their lips lightly brush together, & then crash in a heated kisses. She tangles her fingers in his hair, him tugging hers. Laxus finally breaks it panting to catch his breathe, he leans his forehead against hers saying "we'll finish this later My Little Dragon." & smirks. She peeks his lips once more, biting tugging his bottom on & says "I'm looking forward to it. Now let's go, I've built up a dragons appetite." "& when don't you have one? I swear, the dragon slayers that were actually trained by dragons are always hungry." "Ehh, ohwell I like food. Gihihihi." They get up, Letty hides the shoe boxes in the back of the closet. Not before taking some out though. They change their clothes, Letty fixes her hair & they head out.
