Laxus' POV

We arrived at the guild together. To say that the guild was shocked would be an understatement. They were bewildered on why innocent lucy arrived together with bad boy Laxus. We headed straight to the guilds bar and sat down. By now, her hand was clean. She kept whatever she was holding in her hand in her pocket while we were walking back to the guild.

"What would you like for today?" Mira asked with a certain glint in her eyes, her matchmaking "instinct" going full blast. I felt my body go tense.

"I'll order a beer and a burger" I said.

"I'd like a strawberry milkshake and pancakes with strawberry syrup" Lucy said taking no notice of the glint in the demons eyes. If she noticed, she didn't say.

"You don't like strawberries, huh?" While casting her amused glance. She snorted.

"Hey, don't knock the strawberries if you know what's good for you. Enough about me, what about you! Who the hell orders beer this early in the morning?" She said looking at me with mock anger. I saw her tense and look behind my shoulder.

"Never mind, don't answer that question." I turned to look at what she was staring at and I smirked. I turned around to look at her once more and she was staring at the table with a cute blush. WHAT. THE. HELL. Did I just say cute?

"Apparently, she does." While pointing a thumb at the direction my back was facing. True enough behind me was Cana, the resident drunk of Fairy Tail, drinking barrel after barrel of beer. Lucy was about to reply when Mira came back with our orders in hand. She placed our orders in front of us, and we dug in. We were eating in silence, but the silnce was a comfortable one- No awkwardness. Of course the silence was disturbed by my "GREAT" team. Note the sarcasm.

"Hi, Lucy. I must say, you do look wonderful today. Not that you look ugly these past days. Not that I look at you every day. I just-. I-. I'll shut up now" Freed stuttered while blushing. I swear, if you gave this guy a chance to pick between a girl or Zeref, he'll fight Zeref anytime.

"It's okay Freed. I get you point." She said giggling while patting Freed on the back. Freed let out a relaxed sigh.

"So Freed, what book are you currently reading?" I saw Freeds eyes shine and soon enough they were talking about books like there was no tomorrow. I've never seen Freed this talkative with someone. If it were anyone else I would have been happy, but here he was talking to MY Lucy. I felt my blood boil, electricity racing up and down my frame. 'They're just talking' I whispered to myself over and over again like a mantra. Like a prayer waiting to be answered. Besides she's not even mine. That thought brought an ache in my heart.

"Having fun Laxus?" Evergreen asked me with a smirk. I narrowed my eyes at her. She knows. Was I that obvious? If I was, then why was Freed still flirting with her!

"Peachy" I replied, or rather tried to reply. It came out as a growl instead. Evergreens smirk widened. I ignored her, trying to focus on my beer. We aren't even a couple yet, and here I was drowning my self in misery. Trying to get away from the jealousy I felt. I held the mug so hard it was starting to crack.

"Freed, Mira's looking for you. I think she's in the storage room (not like that pervs)" Evergreen said. Freed wasted no time in saying good bye to Lucy and running towards the guilds storage room. I gave her a look that said 'thank you'

"Wow. He is so whipped" Lucy said. Evergreen laughed while giving me a look that said 'he's not the only one'. Did I say thank you? I meant fuck you.

"So, Lucy. Laxus and I were supposed to go shopping for materials we're gonna use for our next mission, but Elfman suddenly invited me to watch a movie. Could you maybe fill in for me? I don't trust Laxus to buy what I need. Last time I left him to buy what I need for a mission he mistook a napkin for a tissue... and well it was a disaster. Please?" Yup! i definitely meant thank you. Please say yes. Please say yes. Please say yes. Please say yes.

"Sure! On two conditions. one: Tell me what happend on that mission and two: Tell me how your date with Elfman will go." Lucy replied while chuckling. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I looked up to find both of them staring at me. I realized they wanted my input on things.

"Oh, yeah. Sure, that's fine with me." I said trying to act nonchalantly. Inside my head I was running in circles pumping my fist into the air. However, I could not contain the grin that spread through my face. Finally I had a chance to prove my self to Lucy.

The following days were heaven. We got close. But like every good thing, it must come to an end. My nightmare started to come back, full force. This time it wasn't my team... it was Lucy. It was worse; I would wake up with tears in my eyes. I couldn't handle it, seeing my self kill the woman I love. Yes! I love her. Her smile, her laugh, everything.

When we heard the news about the guild disbanding. My heart was ripped but i knew this was the perfect time. The perfect time to understand myself, to tame the inner monster, to face my fears. But I knew in order to do that I would have to leave her. She took the news hard, she would barely talk to me.

The day came when the guild was disbanded. I was standing in front of her house, a pained expression on my face.

"wait for me Lucy...I love you" I whispered then disappeared with a flash of lightning.

(Present day)

I was brought out of memory lane when I felt wet drops cross my face- it was raining. The heavens crying for my place and all I could do was stand there staring at her house, shouting my anger to the heavens.

"WHERE ARE YOU LUCY!?" I shouted to the heavens while falling to my knees.

So I know I said that I was gonna write about the stuff they did in the 2 months but I decided to just write another fic for that. It'll take too long. So what did you guys think?
