I awoke to the feeling of warmth beside me. I could feel Laxus' chest rise and fall, his breath on my neck, his light snores sending vibrations through me, and most of all, the feeling of his muscular and toned arms wrapped around me protectively. He still smelled of the forest and musk. It seemed everything about this man kept me captivated. I laid there for quite some time, an easy smile lightly placed on my lips. But within my daydreaming, I heard snickering, snapping me out of my inattentiveness.
Finally opening my eyes, my face went beet red at the sight. I was met with a complete entourage with a variety of facial expressions. Cana was directly in front of me, staring at me with look that just screamed "smug". Mira was to her right, hearts in her eyes, looking as equally pleased with herself. Levy had her coy smile which she always wore when it had to do with my love life. Juvia was stealing glances while trying to hide her blush, commenting on my "boldness". And lastly, Lisanna was giving the look of an imp, correlating to the one of the demon.
"Told you he was amazing, didn't I?" Cana asked a sly tone which reflected her smug expression. If I could have blushed any harder I would have been purple.
"Come on down, we're about to open the presents," Mira instructed. Cana snickered, "heheh... cum."
Still naked under the comforter, I tried to wake Laxus.
"Laxus. Laxus." I called. He started to stir. "We've got to go."
He didn't realize we weren't alone before saying, "Why would I go anywhere?" before he tightened his grip on me, pulling me into him, and nuzzling into my neck.
"Aaww," all of the girls cooed in unison. At this, Laxus' eyes shot open, pink rising to his cheeks.
"You guys better hurry down if you want to help wake Ever and Elf-nii," Lisanna said with mischief in her eyes as they all filed out of the room.
As the door closed, I looked to the naked man beside me, still covering myself with the comforter. "Hey, is there a bathroom in here?" I asked him.
"Yeah, around that corner, beside the closet," he pointed to a tiny hall hidden behind a section of protruding wall.
Not bothering to cover up since it was Laxus and his lingering eyes made me feel sexy. I picked up my clothes and headed for the bathroom. Walking in I took a rag and soaked it in warm water before applying it between my legs to wipe up the hardened and dried evidence of our orgasms. After about 15 minutes of cleaning, God, he had a big load, I stepped into the shower, rinsing in the water to remove the smell of sex from my body.
I couldn't get the events of the previous night, morning really, out of my head. My body still hadn't calmed down; everything about me just felt so soft and light. To hell with cloud nine, I was somewhere in the Stratosphere. I had to call it bliss for the lack of a better term. Drying off, I looked in the mirror, taking in the marks from the previous night. Teeth marks and hickies made their way from below my jaw, down my neck, and across my chest.
Though normal girls would be embarrassed of such marks, I loved them. They told everyone I was his. Contrariwise, my marks on him told everyone that he was mine. Really, this past week has just been the oddest yet greatest of my life. I spend a night talking to Laxus, allow him to sleep in my bed with me, spend the next few days with him clouding my mind, spend more time with him, then end up having sex with him... But it couldn't have been better.
Dressing and making my way from the bathroom, I saw the Thunder God sitting at the foot of the bed, clothed and waiting for me. "You ready?" he asked, holding his hand out for me to take into mine. Leaving the room, we made our way to first floor hand in hand.
As we made our way towards the tree where everyone was gathered, Gajeel approached us. "Eh, where's that animal?" he asked.
"What animal?" I asked, answering his question with a question.
"The one you two slaughtered last night."
"We didn't slaughter an animal last night," I said, not really knowing what he was talking about.
"It sure sounded like it," he said chuckling as I turned away embarrassed. "I've heard explosions more silent than that." He walked past us, patting Laxus on the back.
"Hey, Luce, are you hurt?" Natsu approached.
"Why would I be hurt, Natsu?"
"I heard you screaming and I thought you might be in trouble, but Gajeel wouldn't let me go check on you."
"Oh my fucking god," Laxus mumbled, hardly believing that the fire dragon slayer could actually be this dense.
"No, Natsu. I wasn't hurt."
"Good. We should go on a mission tomorrow. Now, I've got to go unwrap Igneel." Laxus and I both facepalmed.
"Umm... Laxus-san," Wendy meekly said, pulling on his shirt sleeve. "Why was Lucy-san angry at you?"
"I didn't know she was," he answered questionably.
"But she was screaming at you," Wendy defended. "I heard her yelling "Laxus" a bunch of times."
I could do nothing more than tremble at the thought of destroying this little girl's innocence. But Laxus handled this situation like a father would his child, really impressing me at his maturity as he crouched down in front of her.
"Listen, Wendy. I think you're a little young to be hearing this kind of thing. But I promise, once you're old enough, I'll tell you all about it." He gave her one of the warmest smiles he'd ever given. She nodded, returned the smile, and gave him a hug, which he returned. "Now go sit by the tree and I'll take you for some sukiyaki later."
"Can we get shabu instead this time?" she asked, giving wondrous eyes.
"Sure, kid," Laxus said ruffling her hair a little before sending her on her way. Seeing this really made me wonder about Laxus being a parent. He'd no doubt be a better father than his own. I wondered if I'd make a good mother.
"I had no idea you were that... paternal," I said as he turned his gaze back to me.
Scoffing, he replied, "The world's full of surprises," before dragging me up to the group by the tree.
"Sounds like you two had fun last night," Bixlow said as he saw us approach. "Fun! Fun!" his dolls chirped behind him, decorated to match the festivities. All of the men besides Natsu took notice of this and started clapping, congratulating Laxus.
"Nice work, man," Gray commented, giving a huge grin my way.
"That was a man," Elfman said before being slapped in the back of his head by Evergreen.
"Laxus-sama..." Freed started with tears in his eyes.
"Is there anyone who didn't hear?" I asked incredulously.
"That was you? I could have sworn it was a banshee," Erza joked, finally making her appearance.
If it was possible to die of embarrassment, I was in serious need of medical attention. I just wanted to run back up to the room and hide for the rest of forever. I lost all feeling in my body because all of my blood was now in my head, a blush never attained in history. Thankfully, the master stepped in.
"Everyone, I know you're all tired from staying up all night," he began. "It was indeed hard to sleep with the sound of last nights... debauchery," he continued, giving his grandson a proud glare. For the quintillionth time this morning, my face flushed. "Okay, that's enough teasing for one day. Jet, pass out the gifts." Jet swiftly got all of the presents out in a matter of a minute. Everyone had one in front of them.
"Open!"
At that, there was a flurry of paper and ribbons flying all across the room. Smiles covered the faces of everyone at the approbation of their gifts. Surprisingly, nothing got destroyed that day.
"Laxus," I said getting his attention.
"What's up?"
"I still haven't given you my present."
"What about the one last night?" I was surely setting a record for 'how many times can someone blush in a day?'
"I meant the one I didn't give you, so let's go." I motioned him to the door as we left for my apartment.
A/N: This chapter was a little rushed. I wanted to make it more descriptive and for it to have a better scene. Please review. It motivates me to write more.
P.S. What do you guys think of a LaxusxOC? I was thinking of doing a new story but am stuck on the LaxusxOC or a genderbender like FemFreed or FemNatsu.
I promise the next chapter will be far better and longer.
