Chapter 7: Leaving so soon?
Lucy's P.O.V
"ERIGOR!" I screamed as I jolted awake. The second I did, I immediately regretted it. My whole body felt sore.
A few seconds after I yelled that someone came running to my side, it was Laxus. "Are you okay Lucy?" He asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, but may I ask what happened?" I questioned curiously as my mind was all fuzzy.
"Well do you remember when I said I was out getting food? As soon as I boarded the ship and I was less than ten meters away from the island I saw a huge explosion. Sensing something was wrong I immediately ran back to check, hoping that you were just doing something stupid but when I came back I saw that you were all injured with Erigor's scythe hovering over you. You seem to of put up a good fight, I'm proud of you. Good job, but now it's my turn to ask why Erigor was here in the first place." He asked.
"Thanks for saving me Laxus—" I began
"—I didn't really do anything, you're the one who beat him up so bad that one sheer blow was enough to finish him off, but please continue with your answer." Laxus said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, but thanks anyways. Erigor was here on a mission, an assassination mission from Angel. His orders were none other than to ...kill me." I said calmly.
Laxus had a furious look on his face that scared me. "Why does she want you dead, if she wants you dead so bad she should've came for you herself!" he yelled.
I put a hand on his shoulder in attempt to calm him down. "To be completely honest with you, I don't know why she wants to kill me. I imagine it's because of revenge." I said as Laxus tensed up.
"Revenge? Lucy, what could of you of possibly ever done to her to cause revenge?" He questioned.
"I defeated her twice, which affected her image. After the second defeat she was kicked off Oracien Seis because of me, I guess that's why she's so furious with me and she didn't come here herself because she knows she can't defeat me." I said as Laxus sighed in relief.
"Jeez and I thought you did something incredibly bad, whatever Erigor was just a mere tool. Guess I don't have to personally give him a beating then, it's Angel who's just a sore loser. Even so, keep your eyes open okay? I don't want you getting hurt again." Laxus scolded.
"Got it!" I said while flashing him my best smile.
"Alright now that we've cleared all that up, we're going back to the guild now because of this incident the old man wants us home." He said.
"If that's what master wants." I said as I started to get up while Laxus assisted me. I stood up and he immediately helped me steady myself. "I feel better, don't worry! Erigor couldn't have taken me down that easily!" I cheered as I smiled up at him.
He merely laughed at my statement and said "Stay there." I obliged to his demand as I couldn't really do much walking myself and just stood where I was. He trudged over to his bag and asked me, "Would you like my clothing or yours? Yours are tight and might hurt your injuries so I was wondering if you wanted mine since they're looser." He said.
I thought about it for a second, I like my clothes better but I have so many injuries...will my own clothing hurt me? Better safe than sorry I thought. "Yours, please." I said.
He dug through his bag to find the smallest shirt he owned when he found it he threw it to me and said. "It shouldn't be too big." He smirked. "I'm leaving so you can change okay? Just yell if you need my help." He said as he walked out.
"T-THANKS LAXUS!" I yelled loud enough for him to hear on his way out. The only way I knew he heard me was when he raised his hand in signal of saying 'no problem'. I then slowly changed as I didn't want to hurt my own injuries. I put his black shirt on and another pair of clean shorts. His shirt was so warm, he's changed so much since I first met him.I thought and not before long I felt myself blushing. I quickly brushed all my thoughts off before I walked out of the tent. "Laxus? We can leave now." I said. When I looked at him he was leaning against a tree with his headphones on. He motioned for me to come over and so I did. When I was within arm reach, I stood in front of him and asked "What is it?" Before I knew it he had gently pulled me towards him and hugged me.
"I'm just glad you're safe." He murmured in my ear. I felt heat rush up to my cheeks, that feeling in my hearts coming back. What is it? Is it love? It can't be right? He's so warm, I thought. When I finally gathered all my courage, I looked up to him and cheerfully said. "Did you think that I of all people could be defeated so easily?" I teased as he let go of me and said "Come on, let's go." We, or more like, he loaded everything on the boat and we headed home.
Laxus and I were right outside the guild. I opened the door and yelled, "WE'RE HOME!" As the guild fell silent in realization of who we were they started screaming, "WELCOME BACK/HOME!" And not before long Erza, Natsu, Happy & Gray all came up to me running to hug me and to bombard me with questions while I saw Freed, Evergreen and Bickslow run to Laxus. I turned back to the crowd around me that hugged me so hard that we were all stumbling around and fell on top of one another. Me on top of everyone.
"I'VE MISSED YOU LUCY!" Erza cried first.
"LUUUUCY, WE'VE BEEN SO LONELY!" Natsu then screamed next.
"Luuucy, there's nobody to tease with you gone!" Happy pouted and last but not least there was Gray all dreary saying, "You know when we go on missions, that flame brain's head is in my lap! Man am I ever glad you're back, missions just don't feel the same with you gone." Gray said.
"YO POPSICLE, WHO ARE YOU CALLING FLAME BRAIN?!" Natsu yelled as they rolled out of the pile leaving Erza and me to stand up.
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?" Gray screamed and with that Gray and Natsu were off to having their usual ramblings with Happy cheering Natsu as usual. Erza didn't seem to break up the fight as she was still hugging me.
"Ah Erza, your grips a little tight." I said as I winced in pain. My arm took a really rough blow there. Then before I knew it Laxus put a hand on Erza's shoulder and teared her off me. I looked up to him and mumbled my thanks while Erza glared at him and yelled. "I WAS HUGGING LUCY, WHY'D YOU RIP ME OUT OF HER ARMS?!"
"Oi, you're just as loud as Blondie. She's injured there, you were hurting her so-" before Laxus had even finished Erza ran back up to me and cried "I'M SORRY LUCY. PLEASE YOU HAVE TO PUNISH ME FOR HUGGING YOU TOO HARD!"
"Oh no, no, no. That's really not necessary. It's fine, really. You didn't know it's nothing to punish you over." I said while sweating bullets. With that Erza pulled out a sword and pointed it at Laxus and snarled saying "What did you do to my precious Lucy to make her injured?" Before Laxus could even answer Master was in-between them and said "ENOUGH. Lucy, please come to my office." As he walked up the stairs I quickly followed him.
When we were finally in his office, he stood on the table and said. "I see you're back. It's good seeing my children back!" Master exclaimed.
"It's really nice to see everyone back too!" I exclaimed in happiness.
He then shot me a huge smile before it dropped and he asked "I'd like to know about how you got such injuries, they're healing. I know but what caused them and how are you healing so incredibly fast?" Master asked.
"I knew you were going to ask me that." I started as I clasped my hands together. "Erigor attacked me on Tenroujima Island under Angel's orders." I said.
"Who is this Angel you speak of?" Master questioned.
"Angel from Oracien Seis." I calmly said.
"I see, she was fussed that my child was stronger." He laughed wickedly earning a smile from me. I've missed my childish Master.
"Ok child, now tell me how you're recovering so fast." Master asked curious again.
"Right, you see I have a special bond with my spirits. When I was attacked I was injured really badly and my spirits sought the pain I was in so they each were able to extract some pain from me. Seeing as how I have 11 spirits who could do so, a lot of injuries were removed off me." I said.
"I see. It's a relief to see how fast you're healing. Now how long are you going to stay at the guild this time?" Master questioned with a glum expression, obviously not wanting to see his child leave so soon again.
"I have around 9 more months, right? I'm only going to stay here for a few more days so that my injuries can heal. I might actually just stay for tonight, I'm not really sure yet. But as soon as they heal I'll be off again." As I finished that Erza came barging in and said. "I'm sorry for listening Master, but if Lucy's leaving to go train again, I'm going with her!" Erza said determined.
Master then sat down on the table and wiggled his tiny little feet around a few times, thinking before he said, "Alright Erza, in fact this is perfect. I have an idea, please close the door and sit down so we can talk together."
"Erza only you were listening in, right?" I questioned a little worried.
"DON'T WORRY LUCY, it was just me." Erza said as she sat down beside me. I sighed in relief and turned back to master and asked. "What's the plan you had in mind, master?"
"Yes, first let me fill Erza in on what's happening in 9 months." He then turned to Erza and said. "I had saw potential in Lucy's last mission and I had told her to train as she will be participating in the S-Class Exams. Since you're already a S-Class Wizard, I would like you to train Lucy and even if, train with Lucy." Master said. When he said that, my mouth hung down in shock. First Laxus and now Erza? "Is that okay with you Erza?" he questioned.
"I would LOVE to train Lucy!" Erza beamed.
Master then turned to me and asked "Any objections Lucy?"
"O-of course not." I said.
"Alright you two may leave now." Master said. We then both stood up and said "Bye Master." As we left the room. As soon as the door closed Erza started jumping up and down in happiness. "I'M SO EXCITED" She screamed. I couldn't help but smile at how Erza only showed this side to me. She appears so rough and scary on the outside but then there's this super kind side she has just for me. I spoke up to snap her out of her happy trance.
"Erza, calm down! When are we going to leave?" I laughed.
She put a finger to her chin and thought for a moment before she answered me. "Tomorrow morning, if you can. How are your wounds?" Erza asked concerned.
"Absolutely fine, see you then." I said. Erza then said bye and walked out of the guild to get her things ready for tomorrow. I looked around the guild and spotted Laxus. He seemed to of caught my gaze as he motioned for me to come over to him. I walked up to Laxus and as soon as I opened my mouth to talk he spoke up saying "I hear you're training with Erza."
I made a worried face, if he knew does that mean the others knew too? I thought worriedly. As if reading my mind Laxus said. "Don't worry, only I heard as Erza was squealing up there with my Dragon Slayer Ears. Anyways, when are you leaving?" He asked me.
I then sighed in relief for what felt like the twentieth time today and answered him saying "Tomorrow morning."
"Woah, already? Your wounds aren't even healed up yet!" He snapped.
"I'll be fine, I have Erza!" I said a little sad.
He then lifts me up and puts me on the chair beside him and asked me. "Why do you look like that?" he asked.
"What do you mean, is something on my face?!" I asked.
"No, you just look a little upset. Why?" he asked.
"O-oh! It's nothing. Don't worry about it. Anyways I better go home soon so I can get ready, you know Erza..." I said as I dashed out of the guild before Laxus could say a word.
Laxus' P.O.V
Lucy just ran out of the guild before I could even utter another word. Something was bothering her, I could tell. I sighed thinking I'd figure it out later. "LAXUS!" I heard someone yell. I turned and saw it was the Thunder God Tribe and with that I took off running out of the guild. I'm not dealing with them right now, especially Freed. As I was running a thought hit me, why not check up on her now instead? I switched directions and ran to her house.
When I finally got there I stood in front of her door and rang her doorbell. After a while Lucy finally came to open the door. "Laxus? What are you doing here, something wrong?" Lucy asked me.
"Not exactly, I need to talk to you." I said as I tried to catch eye contact with her.
"Oh, come in then Laxus!" she beamed as I followed her in and seated myself on her couch.
"Want something to drink?" She asked me as she was about to stand up. I pushed her shoulders down so she could sit back on the couch. "You're still injured, stop walking around so much." I scolded.
"Oi Laxus, I can walk perfectly fine! I opened the door for you didn't I?" she defended. I sighed in defeat as she put her feet on the couch and crossed it. "What did you want to talk about?" she asked with her tone suddenly turning serious.
"Yeah, um well I wanted to know what was wrong with you...you seemed a little off." I said.
I saw her cringe a little before she quickly put a smile back on and said. "It's nothing!"
"Why do you even bother lying to me if you know I can see right through it? Whenever you lie you have that face on, I would know." I said.
"Well...um. I-It's just that... I-I don't know but I'd prefer training with you instead of Erza you know..." I was just about to say something but she continued on. "N-not that I don't like Erza or anything. I L-LOVE HER! It's just that...I've gotten used to you, I'd feel more comfortable training with you." She said blushing.
The last part shocked me because when we first started training she was scared of me and now she misses me? I then laughed at her reason onto why she was said. She then tensed up with an even redder face and said. "I-I told you it was nothing. I shouldn't have told you!" She yelled embarrassed.
I then tried to seize my laughter and I pulled her into my lap. I lightly embraced her not wanting to hurt her injuries even more. I put my chin on top of her head and breathed in her scent. "I'll be here when you come back so don't worry. Focus on training with Erza, train hard. You better be stronger than the Thunder God Tribe combined when you come back." I murmured into her head before I let go of her and turned her around so that she was facing me. I chuckled at the sight of her red cheeks, as if it wasn't already red enough. It got even redder! "Come on, I'll tuck you into bed. You have a long nine months ahead of you with Erza." I said as I lifted her off my lap in bridal style.
"Oi, Laxus! I can walk!" She protested while squirming around in my arms.
"Shh, you're still injured. Let me be a gentleman." I said which managed to shut her up. .
I then set her down on her bed and tucked her in. "Good Luck, and don't hurt yourself. When you come back, we can go on missions together." I whispered into her ears as I was just about to leave she grabbed my hand and asked me. "Promise?" with her pinky finger out.
I chuckled at her childish antics and said. "Promise" as I stuck out my pinky too.
Author's Note:
How was this chapter? I think I might have overdone it with the LaLu. I don't really know how to act like Laxus, sorry! It's quite OC, I know. I hope you guys enjoyed it though.
