And here we are at 11. I hope you enjoy it.
7 months, its been that long since Mira first became pregnant with Laxus and Raxon's child. They knew what it would be, they knew what to name it, and the room was almost done. All they needed to do was paint it. Raxon decided one day to take it upon himself to paint it while Laxus was out on a job with the Thunder Legion. He wanted to surprise him and he hoped that Laxus would approve of the color he choose for the room, black of course. He started with the side the door was on. He only manged to get one wall done though before he was called to the guild for some help in the kitchen. While he was there, Laxus got back from his job early and he decided to surprise Raxon by painting the room the color he believed it should be, yellow. He wanted to start on the opposite end of the door so he didn't even notice that the opposite ended wall was already painted. He just finished the wall when Raxon got home and walked upstairs to finish hoping Laxus wasn't home yet. Needless to say, he was pretty surprised when he say the room yellow.
"Lightning, what are you doing back so early?" Laxus turned around and answered.
"Oh, hey Moonlight I was just painting the wall as a little surprise. Do you like it?" Laxus then noticed that behind Raxon was a black wall. "Aw crap! You already started painting. I didn't even notice I'm so sorry."
"It's not a big deal. I'm sure there is something we can do. I wanted to surprise you to by having it done by the time u got back. I guess I probably should have ran it by you first huh?"
"I should have told you. Now how are we going to decide what color it is?" Both kinda just stared at the wall for a while occasionally glancing at the other to see if they would give in to the other. Neither submitted and neither really offered any sort of solution to the problem either. Raxon got an idea and even though he was hoping Laxus would give it he figured it would be better to compromise than fight.
"What if we keep both of the walls as they are, and then have black and yellow stripes going along the side walls? WE both get the color we were hoping for at equal amounts, and it would kinda look like our worlds becoming one."
"I love that idea. It works perfectly and it came from you. Wanna finish it up together?"
"Of course, lets get started." They began painting the walls with the stripe of their color and left about half a foot between each one to leave room for the other. They were very careful to not cover the other's line as they alternated. It took about an hour for them to finish and they stepped back to admire their work. It looked quite well and neither had any complaints. Now they started moving the small bits of furniture they had into the room to finish. They had a nice blue crib that had little dragons on a mobile. They also had a toy box full of knights and replicas of other guild members. A small table was on one side and opposite sat a few stuffed animals of varying natures. It looked like the perfect room for a male child of wizards. "I love it Laxus. I can't wait to sit and play with him in here."
"I can't wait either. That reminds me, do we want him to learn magic, and if so what kind? Should we let him choose, or maybe teach him one of ours."
"I feel like it would be better for him to choose. He may want to be a knight, or a merchant. Lets not control his life."
"Good idea." He checks the clock that they have hanging in the room. "Lets go out for dinner tonight. I found a great new spot on my way back.
"That sounds lovely. Just let me go get ready." Raxon walked out and went into their room to change into some better date cloths. Laxus joined him a few moments later after realizing that he had some paint on his jeans. Raxon loved seeing Laxus undress. He wanted to start something, but he decided to save that for after dinner. "Ok, I'm ready. Would you like me to wait here for you to finish?"
"No, you go outside. I need to use the bathroom so it might be a couple minutes."
"Alright, I'll go down and wait." Laxus watched very carefully as Raxon left the room making sure to hear him reach the first floor before going to his coat pocket. He pulled out a little red box and opened it. Inside was a ring with a beautiful black and purple gem that shined greatly when it caught the light.
"I really hope your ready for this Raxon." He put the box back in the coat pocket then slipped the coat on and went down to meet Raxon outside.
They arrived at a nice little place by the river. It was called Garden House. As the name sorta implied, it was surrounded with flowers of different types. Once they went in, they saw a lot more flowers. There were roses, lilies, tulips, and countless others of countless colors. They were greeted and seated by a very nice gentlemen. They looked at the menu for a few minutes before deciding what they wanted. Laxus ordered a steak and Raxon got a chicken dish they offered. ONce they ordered Laxus stood up.
"I uh, need to use the bathroom. I'll be back in a minute."
"Are you ok? You went right before we left."
"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine. I think I may have just drank to much water." Laxus walked back to the entrance and managed to catch their server. "Excuse me I need a favor." He pulled the box out of his pocket. "I'm going to order some wine, can u put this in his glass when you bring it?"
"Absolutely sir. We do this all the time. I don't know what it is but this seems to be a very popular proposal spot. Although you would be the first gay couple to do it here."
"Great thanks." Laxus walked back to the table and sat down acting as if nothing happened. A few minutes later the waiter walked over.
"Would you like any beverages this evening?" he asked
"Yes please, can we get you best bottle of wine?"
"Laxus we don't need to spend this much. I'd be perfectly fine with water." Raxon spoke.
"No no, its perfectly fine. I got paid really well on that last job. We will take that wine."
"As you wish sir. I will be back in a few minutes with it and two glasses already full." He walked off to the back to fetch the wine.
"Are you sure about this Laxus? This has to be one of the most expensive places in all of Magnolia."
"I already told you it was fine baby. We have plenty of money to spare."
"Will we once we buy all of the cloths and other things for the kid?"
"Of course we will have enough. Even if for some odd reason we didn't, I would work 3 times as hard to support us." The waiter came walking out with a bottle of wine and two glasses on a platter. He gave Laxus one and Raxon the other then left. Raxon too his and went to drink. As he brought it to his lips he spoke.
"I don't want you to do that. I'll just work more to so you don't have to strain yourself." He drank down half the glass and Laxus almost had a heart attack when the ring almost went down Raxon's throat. "Wow, this is kinda good. I usually never have alcohol because it always tastes terrible to kind is it?" Laxus calmed down a bit before he checked the bottle and spoke.
"It says vanilla dream. I guess its vanilla flavored."
"I did taste that." Raxon drank more and there was hardly any left but the ring stayed. It took all of Laxus' willpower not to jump and just grab the ring. This has to easily be the most stressful thing he ever had to do. He did think about what he was going to say, but it was now all just starting to float out of his head and he was forgetting. He drank his glass to so Raxon wouldn't feel bad about having two before he did. Raxon picked the bottle up and wen to refill his glass. He noticed something glistening in there and jumped back shocked. "Is..is that what I think it is?"
"Yes, it is." Laxus slid of the table and got to one knee on the floor. "Raxon, you are the moon of my life. From the first time you talked to me I felt something I never felt before. If I never met you I don't think I ever would have became as happy as I am now. When I lost you I was depressed the whole time. When you came back I almost died of happiness right there. Now we are about to have a child and I would love nothing more than for him to know that his parents are tied forever. Would you please marry me and become Raxon Dreyar?" Raxon got on the ground and pulled Laxus into the biggest hug he ever gave anyone and it actually hurt Laxus a little bit.
"Absolutely! Yes! Yes! Yes! I want nothing more. I would be honored to be your husband and take your name. When do we want it? Where are we having it? Who are we inviting? We have so much planning to do." Raxon started speaking frantically and Laxus could feel his body getting very warm. He also felt something wet landing n his shoulders and realized that Raxon was crying.
"Hey, you don't need to worry about that right now. I'm just so happy you said yes. Lets just eat our meal and then we can talk about it more when we get home ok?" Laxus started crying to as he spoke. He couldn't take all the happiness that he was feeling. He was with the person he was meant for. Now they were actually going to make it fully official and no one could stop them. It was the best day of his life and nothing could ruin it.
That's chapter 11 friends. I can't contain my excitement for this and I hope you all like it to. See you within a week for chapter 12. Until then R&R.
