News Feed of the Century
Laxus Dreyar sneezed.
Someone must be talking about him he mused as he ordered a beer in the town's bar.
"Should be careful out there lad. Flu goin round like wildfire." The bartender warned with a chuckle and the blonde mage grunted in a simple response. Obviously his lack of words meant he wanted a conversation he thought sarcastically because the old man pointed to something wrapped around his neck.
"That's a pretty lil necklace you got. How much you want for it?"
"Not for sale." He answered quite harshly, baring his teeth. The simple icy blue chain and teardrop was his reminder. His promise. Never would he give it up. He would go through hell and back because this necklace reserved as a reason.
A reason to go back to Fuyu.
"I hate you so much."
Natsu grinned as he carried Fuyu piggy back style. "Oi oi, we dont want you straining yourself."
"Geez! Then I cant wait what to see what you'll do on the third part of the trimester!"
They were leaving from Porlyusica's and heading back to Fairytail. After a few days Team Natsu had left to defeat Oracion Seis and today they were having a party to celebrate. All of the members who helped on the mission would be coming here. Lucy and Natsu wanted to make sure she could come.
Sadly Fuyu and Gray broke up neutrully and the guild was still sort of shaky about why. Most of them didnt even know the girl was pregnant. But they were still severly close. It's almost a wonder if it was better off as a friendship.
At the guild hall the party had already started. Lucy had grabbed Fuyu's hand and got her ready to dance. The guests were already here and three in particular ganged up on the two quickly.
"Namaka? The Sea Godess? My my she certainly is a godess. But maybe the title should be changed to Aphrodite." A brown haired mage with blue eyes bowed and kissed Fuyu on the hand. The girl looked at Lucy for confirmation and the blonde woman just sighed. "So beautiful!" The dark skinned one murmured slyly coming up from behind and the one almost Wendy's age (a newcomer) played with her hair. "Your such an inspiration, Miss Justine!"
"Hibiki. Ren. Eve. HANDS OFF!" Lucy yelled and the guild laughed as they went to flirting with her instead.
"Oi, Fuyu! Over here!" Gray called and she turned and skipped towards him and a man with snow white hair and icy blue eyes. "This is Lyon Vastia." He neednt to explain as Fuyu looked amazed. "Seriously? Your Gray's peer? You dont have a stripping problem to right?"
"Hey!"
Lyon chuckled and shook his head. "Fortunately I dont need the extra jewel." Fuyu coughed on her laughter and turned bright red, tears threatning to spill. It was something someone never said before and she had to keep it going. She turned towards the raven-haired ice maker and gasped sharply. "I didnt know you earned money! How much?!" Lyon stepped back a little playing mock disgust. He looked back and forth from the water and ice users.
"You mean he does it for free?!"
"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!" Fuyu fell onto the counter, dying of laughter. The tears were running and she kept glancing at Gray's angry face which made it funnier.
The two mages then proceeded to start a spar.
"So your the famous Namaka?"
Fuyu stopped her tears of joy and looked up to a man who easily towered her. He was bald and held a staff. She quickly stood and bowed politely. "It's a pleasure to meet you Jura-sama. Please, my name is Fuyu." Jura smiled warmly and patted her head. "As long as you call me Jura." Iron Rock Jura. What she wouldnt give to fight him once. The blood of FairyTail pumped inside of her and she was desperately debating on asking. "So Jura, you wouldnt mind a small friendly spar would you?" Jura was about to agree when Wendy came up speaking all innocently like. "You know Porlyusica-san said you cant fight for the next twelve months because of your condition." She said. Jura chuckled and got a look of understanding. "Aw, congradulations! Sorry kiddo, but you have to stay healthy!"
"Ah! No! You almost said yes! Wendy why did you say anything?!" Fuyu asked distressed and Jura laughed. Patting Wendy's head he said "Good job!" and went over to talk to Master Makarov. Leaving a pouting Fuyu behind.
"Someone's sad! Someone's sad!"
"Im fine, Poppa, Pippa."
Fuyu glanced up at Bixlow's dolls signaling he was coming over. And of coarse Bixlow and Fried walked over. Fried handed his sister a bottle of water and she thanked him. Fried coughed and looked at Mirajane who nodded at him. Fuyu got uneasy quick.
"So Gajeel talked to us about a Dragon's pregnancy or in this case, Dragon Slayer's." Fuyu nodded. It usually took a dragon about six months to complete a whole semester and give birth. That's probably what they were concerned about. "So yeah...he said it'll take you about two more months for the baby to be ready."
Fuyu spit out her water and yelled "Holy Shit!"
She then turned towards Bixlow for an explanation. "Gajeel said your a crazy strong Dragon Slayer and when Dragons are exceptionally strong it takes barely a dent in time for the baby to form." Did Fuyu start hypervilinating? Fried thought she did.
"Drink your water." Fried demanded and she choked it down greedingly.
"TWO MONTHS?! Oh. God. Why?!" Bixlow actually looked ashamed. If you thought that was weird to see you should see Fried. The fact that Laxus; his hero, his best friend, his admiration, raped his baby sister and now wasnt here to take responsiblity was driving him up the wall. He didnt know what to do. Finally Fuyu calmed down and she stood on top of the counter. Erza yelled at her to get down but Fuyu had come to a decision.
"ALRIGHT, LISTEN UP! For anyone who gives a shit Im leaving the guild for the next year because I am pregnant!"
