Day 2: Devilish
Laxus put his arm around his blonde guild mate and smiled when she pushed him off of her while blushing. "Are you trying to get killed?!" she whisper yelled at him looking around to make sure neither Mira nor Erza had seen.
He frowned and sighed. "I hate this."
"I do too. But I'd rather have a live boyfriend than a dead one. And if they find out we've been keeping it from them they'll be even more pissed. And they can be devilish when mad." She shivered at the mental image of an angry Mira and Erza.
"Why are we hiding it from then again?" he asked.
"Because we both know they will act first and ask questions later, and we need Freed to be there ready to set up Runes but he's out on a mission right now." She explained to him again and he sighed. Then Lucy left to talk to Levy, she loved to talk to Laxus, but staying with him too long would arouse suspicion they didn't need.
As she talked to Levy, Lucy watched Laxus leave and waited 10 more minutes before getting up herself. "I better get home." She told Levy. "It's been a long day."
"Sure Lu-chan. Be careful going home." Levy told her placing extra emphasis on the word home that Lucy noticed but shrugged off.
She left and walked for about a block before looking around for guild mates. When she didn't see any she smiled and took off at a run to get there faster. She ran up to him hugging him tightly. "Whoa Blondie! You're happy to see me." He smirked at her.
"I just missed you!" she told him smiling as he leaned down kissing her. Then he turned and let her hop onto his back and carried her back to his place piggy back style.
"Cool! Cool!" someone whispered hiding behind a tree and taking pictures. "This will be so cool for the next issue!"
A week later Mira was drying the glasses behind the counter as Cana rushed in much earlier than normal. "Mira! Mira! Have you seen the newest issue of Sorcerers Weekly?" she asked out of breath from running all the way to the guild.
"No I haven't, what's happened?" Mira asked. If Cana was this worked up something big must have happened.
"THIS!" Cana smiled devilishly showing Mira the front cover.
Mira squealed and smiled more devilishly than Cana. "I knew it." She whispered.
Just a few hours later Lucy, Natsu, and Happy returned from the small mission they had taken. "Lucy!" Mira called sweetly from the bar. "How was the mission?"
"Great! Natsu didn't destroy anything so we got the whole reward too!" Lucy told her sitting down.
"The usual?" Mira asked and Lucy nodded, discreetly looking for Laxus.
"He's not back yet." Mira smiled handing Lucy a Strawberry Milkshake.
"What? I wasn't looking for anyone!" Lucy waved her hands blushing wildly trying to convince a devilish looking Mira.
"Oh really?" Mira asked showing her the front cover of Sorcerer's Weekly. "Then what's this?"
"What?!" Lucy blushed and looked away. Just then Erza came over and saw the pictures. A moment later the doors opened to reveal Laxus, back from his mission.
Laxus opened the doors to the guild eager to see Lucy and immediately found a sword at his throat. "I will dispose of you." Erza said in her purgatory armor staring at him.
"What did I do?" he asked honestly confused.
"ERZA!" Lucy yelled rushing over. "Let him go!"
"Did he defile you?!" Erza demanded still holding her sword to his throat.
"NO!" Lucy yelled still pulling on Erza's arm.
"If you hurt her you die." Erza warned him flatly.
"I won't hurt her." He promised as he and Lucy went to his office to finish off the paperwork that Makarov had dropped off while he was on his mission.
"She's a devil." Laxus told Lucy once they had sat down.
"Told you. They're both devilish." Lucy smirked at being right once more as Laxus smiled and kissed her.
"But it was worth it."
