Lucy POV

"Lucy? I need to ask you something, okay? Promise me you won't laugh." Laxus asked me.

I smiled at him. My heart hammering against my ribcage, ever since we almost kissed this morning. Oh how I wish we actually did. "I promise I won't laugh."

He took a deep breath and looked me in the eyes. "During Phantom Lord, would you have been my woman if Mira hadn't said no for you? I'm just curious, that's all."

I felt my heartbeat escalate to speeds that should have killed me. My face was red and a lump formed in my throat. "Laxus…" Tears began forming in my eyes.

"Lucy! Don't cry! Please! I didn't mean to bring up memories!" Laxus stammered. "I'm sorry!"

I shook my head at him. "Nothing to be sorry for." I jumped over to his seat and hugged him. "Of course, but Natsu wouldn't have let me. It was hell. He wouldn't let me get a boyfriend because since he was a team mate he came first." He took my chin in his hand and lifted my head so that I was looking him in the eyes.

"Is that still your answer now?" His smirk went straight to my heart and made it explode in happiness.

I nodded.

His lips smashed to mine. It lasted for what felt like an eternity. The way his lips felt against mine, the way they tasted, I just didn't want it to end. His hand tangled itself in my hair and pulled me deeper into the kiss. I snaked my arms around his neck holding myself closer to him. When we finally broke apart, pressed his forehead against mine, trying to regain his breathing before slamming his lips against mine once again. He broke the kiss and hugged me tightly. "I've wanted to do that for so long."

I giggled. "I've noticed." I kissed his cheek and laid my head on his shoulder. I could get used to his kisses.

I know it's incredibly short! But Y'all were mad about the cliffie so I wrote this for you! -SFL
