Lucy POV
I wanted to repeatedly bang my head into the hard surface of the wall. What had just come out of my mouth?! It sounded like we were gonna… Oh god! I hope he didn't pick that up from that! I didn't mean it like that! Now he probably wants to do the unthinkable! No! No! No! NO! I looked at the clothes I brought with me into the bathroom.
A simple yellow too-big-for-me t-shirt and some boy shorts I got from Gray as a birthday present. I quickly changed, happy with my not-too-revealing choice of clothing. I laid my hand on the doorknob and stole a few breaths before twisting the knob and opening the door. I was utterly stunned at the sight in front of me. Laxus was already in bed, laying against the headboard, reading a magazine.
"You read?" I asked, feeling dumbfounded.
"Yes, I read." He patted the space next to him and I quickly crawled in next to him peering over his arm, looking at the latest issue of Sorcerer Weekly. It had an article of the "Secret Couples in Guilds." I snorted.
"Really? This is what you read?"
"It has you in it, you know." He pointed at my name next to Hibiki Lates.
I deadpanned. "I talk to him once on a job and the instantly make stupid assumptions."
"And this one."
I read the words. "Lucy Heartfilia and Laxus Dreyar. ~Caught entering a hotel together with smiles on their faces. Great chemistry and over all cute couple.~" I smiled faintly at the words. They were right. We did have pretty good chemistry.
"What you smiling at, Blondie?" he nudged me lightly.
"Nothing, Blondie." I answered.
He eyed me suspiciously. "Right. Well, anyway. About Clover, assuming that you want to be part of Fairy Tail still, what do you want to do for work out there?"
I tapped my finger on my chin. "I was thinking I would open a café or something."
"A café, you mean the ones with the really short skirts and the-"
"Shush, pervert!" I bopped his head. "Not anything like that! Besides it was just a thought."
"I think we should open a magic shop together." He looked me in the eyes, waiting for my reaction.
"I think it'd be a great idea, but I get first dibs on any keys that come in, got it?" I smiled demonically.
"Of course, Luce." He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and gave me a hug which of course made me blush. "Read further on. It continues."
"Lucy Heartfilia and Laxus Dreyar- New couple of Fairy Tail?! Living proof that opposites attract, these two could be Fairy Tail's newest couple, although Laxus Dreyar was recently accepted back into Fairy Tail after months of exile from his guild. It seemed that Laxus Dreyar was welcomed by a girl ready to bring him home. Lucy Heartfilia had spent weeks looking for Laxus ready to take him to Fairy Tail by Guild Master Makarov of Fairy Tail's request, who had lifted his excommunication. The two were last seen together at Akane Resort having the time of their lives."
When I finished, I knew I was blushing. They made it sound so much more romantic then what it really was. I glanced at Laxus, who was staring at me.
"What do you think of that? They said we have chemistry." He asked, skimming through the rest of the issue.
I sighed. "I think it's a bit outrageous for the writers to go that far. We're just two friends who happen to be at a resort during one of the most romantic festivals Akane holds. That's all, right?" I laughed nervously.
"Do you think that they're wrong about us?" He asked quietly.
I rested my head on his shoulder. "I guess. Only the future knows…" I felt his head rest on top of mine. I inhaled his scent, pine and rain. What a wonderful smell. I knew I was in trouble when I felt myself begin to drift off into sleep. "Good-night, Lax…"
I didn't even have time to finish my sentence before sleep took me to its land of dreams and nightmares. But faintly, I swear I heard "Good-night, my Lucy."
