Fairy Tail Fiction

Disclaimer, I do not own Fairy Tail.

Author's Note:

Hey guys, tell me how I'm doing so far because for all I know I could be writing a crappy ass story and I wouldn't know to think of better ideas. I might have to change the main & sub characters of the story though. It's still a LALU fiction because I 100% support them but through that all, it's all about how strong Lucy is. I don't know but this chapter is based on Laxus & Lucy but as I go forth there again jumps out of the lalu and then it jumps back in a few chapters later. You might as well brace yourselves lalu fans. Sorry I just get really aggravated on how I couldn't find many stories where it showcased how strong Lucy was so I decided to make one of my own. I hope you guys like it though!

Chapter 5: Training?

Lucy's P.O.V

I woke up to the sound of the wind outside my tent. I sat up and yawned loudly. When I did, I heard a quiet chuckle. With that I immediately opened my eyes in fear to see who it was. When I saw how it was only Laxus I relaxed a bit yet, what was he doing here? As if breaking my thoughts he said "Morning Blondie."

"I have a name and what are you doing here lightning freak?" I said and with that Laxus let out a small growl.

"I've been training here for a month now. What about you?" He asked curious enough to let go of the 'lightning freak' joke.

"Oh, what a coincidence. I came here to train too, yesterday was my first day," I said.

"Really Blondie, you're going to train? I'd like to see that, let's train together. Actually let me train you and before you immediately disagree. Think about how much you'd improve with my help," Laxus said.

Upon hearing that offer, part of me cowered in fear while another part of me was cheering happily because Laxus could really benefit my training. "Well…Blondie, what do you say?" he asked again breaking my train of thought.

I inhaled deeply then opened my mouth to answer "Yeah, let's train together. But on two conditions," I said.

"Oi blondie I'm the one training you; be grateful. But let's hear it anyways." He chuckled

"One—is given. You mustn't work me to death and kill me," I said.

He laughed at this and said. "Of course, condition two?"

"Two? STOP CALLING ME BLONDIE. YOU'RE BLONDE TOO!" I screamed in aggravation.

"Oii, pipe down a bit. You're going to make me deaf. I agree to condition one but two? You'll just have to suck it up." He said as he stood up and reached one hand out towards me. "Still accept my offer?"

I thought about it for a second and then reached out to grab his hand. "Yeah, let's go." I said.

He then ordered for me to pack everything and bring it with me, I quickly obeyed. After we walked for about twenty minutes, we stopped in front of another tent but it was three times the size of mine. "You will sleep here from now on." He said, more like commanded.

"W-why?" I questioned still astounded by the size of the tent. How did he even manage to carry this here?

"This way I don't have to walk twenty minutes to get you. Now hurry and put your stuff in. We're going to start training when you're done doing so." He said and with that I went in and put all my stuff down. When I finished I stood up and said "I'm done!"

We walked for about ten minutes until we were far enough from his tent and he stopped. "Climb that tree and sit at the top. I'll meet you there." He commanded.

More climbing? My legs felt like they were going to die but I quickly agreed and started climbing. It took me about four minutes to climb up the tree, expecting I'd be the first one there but when I sat on top of the tree Laxus was already on his sitting there peacefully. Just when I was about to speak he said "Not bad Blondie, I expected you to take roughly about ten minutes." I was going to snap on him for calling me Blondie but he spoke up again. "You're going to learn how to levitate. Close your eyes, focus your mind and soul. Focus your magic towards your feet. As for now you'll have to concentrate really hard but the more you practice the easier it gets. Try it, Blondie." He said as he demonstrated.

I blocked Laxus out and closed my eyes. Focused my mind, soul, magic. Suddenly, I felt my feet leave the soft touch of the tree. I opened my eyes in shock, but as soon as I lost focus I started to wobble. I immediately focused back into stabilizing my levitation. "You're one fast learner." Laxus said as he jumped to the ground. "Stay up there Blondie." Was all he said and with that I closed my eyes once again wanting to master this skill. After about two hours of this I felt as if I was going to faint anytime now. My magic was starting to tug around the corners but I continued thinking I could handle more of this but as a few moments later I was too exhausted to keep myself up any longer. I hadn't noticed that in all this time my levitating had leaded me to the middle of two trees, just in mid-air as I dropped into thin air, NOT landing on the tree I screamed in fear and braced myself for impact as I knew I was going to hit the ground. I heard someone yell "LUCY!" and before I knew it I hit contact with something soft rather than the hard floor. I opened my eyes and saw that it had been Laxus that had broken the fall for me. As realization hit me, I blushed at the position we were in. I was in his lap with his hand around my waist while mine were on his neck. He then rubbed his head with his free hand and asked me worriedly even though he was trying to hide it. "Are you okay?" he questioned.

"Y-yeah, thank you Laxus." I stammered out, blushing. I guess he did care. I let go of his neck and stood up.

"You must be tired you pretty much levitated for 3 hours straight. That's better progress than anybody else I've taught but anyways let's head back to the tent. Tomorrows going to be different from today." He said as we walked towards the camp. I was happy, knowing that I had done better than a lot I was happy that I'm finally starting to become stronger. The whole time we were walking, it felt as if I was going to faint. I kept stumbling around dizzily until Laxus put one hand around my waist to stabilize me the rest of the way. I mumbled my thanks to him not wanting him to see my flustered face.

-At the tent –

"Lucy? Come here. This is your bed." Laxus pointed at the only bed in the tent.

"Oh, but isn't this yours? Where are you going to sleep?" I asked.

"It's common courtesy to let the lady sleep on the bed; I'll use that sleeping bag of yours. Now wash up and change while I make dinner." He said. Laxus had a sweet side to him behind all that cockiness he always shows. After he left I washed up and changed. When I finished all of that I started to take out my novel and write in it.

Around half an hour later Laxus yelled. "BLONDIE, COME OUT FOR DINNER!"

I only yelled a coming back to him as I finished off the sentence I was writing and closed it. I stepped out and the air was filled with... FOOD! I ran towards him and said. "IT SMELLS REALLY GOOD!"

"Yeah, yeah. Just sit down Blondie." He said nonchalantly.

That's when I snapped. "HEY YOU JERK. YOU'VE BEEN CALLING ME THAT ALL DAY. WHEN DO YOU PLAN ON REALIZING THE FACT THAT YOU'RE BLOND TOO?" I scolded.

"Just sit and shut up if you want to eat." He snapped back at me.

I just hung my head disappointed and trudged to my seat.

Laxus P.O.V

She seems a little upset, is it because of what I said? Maybe I should apologize…but why do I even care? It doesn't bother me. I thought as I passed her a bowl of rice and we both starting eating, drowned in our own thoughts. I said I didn't care right? Then why does my heart feel so wrong about this…I then starting debating on whether or not to apologize to her but before I could even make a decision she broke my train of thoughts saying. "Laxus… T-thank you for e-everything." She said blushing. I then felt heat rise to my face. Why was I blushing, what was it about her that made me feel as if I needed to protect her from everything. I quickly hid my blush and hid it with my teasing. "So are you saying that you're in my debt now?" I chuckled when her face turned even redder.

"I-I guess so." She said nervously.

"Come on, eat your food." I said. That was when her face immediately brightened up at the word food. I found myself smiling at how cute she is.

"You know, this is really good. How are you so good at cooking? I can't even be compared to your food." She said in a voice that sounded as if she was ashamed.

"When you're an S-class mage, you're always out on missions. Are you going to eat out every day? If you are, 3 meals a day, 365 days in a year… 1095 meals. Are you going to eat all 1095 meals outside? Do you know how much that costs? You can't possibly THAT thick headed right?" I questioned.

"EHHH.? I thought all you had in your head was power, power and more power. I never knew that you actually had a brain beyond that." She said.

I smirked as I pushed her insult aside. "Everything is about power. I was raised up that way. Power is everything, no?"

We finished dinner and went back inside the tent to get some shut eye. She scurried inside her bed and mumbled a goodnight to me before drifting into deep sleep. I unconsciously walked up to her bed and took in her breathtaking beauty. She was pretty inside and out, but I still don't understand this feeling I have in my heart. Yeah, she's pretty but I've been with a lot of pretty girls before. I then instinctively kissed her forehead and mumbled a goodnight back to her as I scurried back to my sleeping bag to sleep myself.
