Laxus POV

I woke up alone on Lucy's couch. She must have gotten up to take a shower. I sat up, slowly adjusting to the morning's bright lights. I looked around to see the bathroom light off. I bolted to my feet.

"Lucy?" I called. Panic began to set in. "Lucy, are you here?"

The apartment remained silent. I looked in the kitchen to find no one. Her desk had a scribbled on piece of paper. I picked it up and read it over to find that it was a letter addressed to me.

Dear Laxus,

Hey sleepyhead. I didn't have the heart to wake you up this morning, so I left you sleeping. You're really adorable when you're sleeping, you know. I'm going to the guild, I forgot to give Lisanna her present. You remember the rabbit key chain from Akane? Yeah, I saw it at the bottom of the bag this morning, I guess I didn't see it yesterday. I'll probably be at the guild when you wake up. I'll be fine. You know I can take care of myself. Breakfast is in the fridge, it's noting extravagant, but I had the stuff to make it. I hope you like them!

Love, Lucy

What the hell was she thinking? I glanced at the fridge and decided to at least open it. Inside, I found cinnamon rolls. I picked up one and bolted out of the apartment, praying to whatever god that would hear me that she would be alright.

I kicked open the doors shoving the last of the cinnamon roll into my mouth. Swallowing, I glanced around the guild hall to find Lucy at the bar, laughing and smiling with Erza and Gray.

"Lucy…" I breathed as relief overtook me. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her shoulders. "Morning Lucy."

"Morning Laxus." She chirped, planting a quick kiss on my cheek. "Did you enjoy breakfast, this morning?"

I sat next to her, since Gray and Erza were on the other side of her. "Amazing. I would expect nothing less of you, Luce."

Gray growled deep in her throat. "Since when do you call her that?"

"Since when is it your concern what I call my girlfriend?" I retorted. Lucy patted my knee, telling me to lay off. Naturally, I did. "Lucy, let's go spar."

"Sure. Let's." She followed me outside and we distanced ourselves, each of us taking a fighting stance.

"Erza, if you don't mind counting us off." I asked, eyeing Lucy.

"Ready. Set. Goooo!" She yelled!

Lucy launched herself at me, landing a swift kick to my gut before I had time to brace myself.

"Lightning Dragon Static Punch!" I yelled as I swung at her. That was my weakest attack, yet she still was panting after the blow to the stomach.

"Constellation Explosion!" She threw a gold sphere at me right before it exploded.

I felt the magic in my body begin to take a toll. It was draining my magic. I looked at the people around us, seeing that they were straining to even stand. She launched herself through the smoke and tapped her finger on my nose. "Stellar Touch, Drop."

I fell to my knees. She knelt down next to me and I smiled. She had beaten the strongest mage of Fairy Tail next to Gramps and Gildarts. "Amazing how much you've improved. No wonder you beat Bix. I'm proud to be your boyfriend, Lucy."

She smiled and kissed me gently. "Please, it is so the other way around."

The crowd looked at us with either hearts in their eyes or with looks of jealousy and disgust.

Okay, I understand I'm older than her by six years. I get that. She didn't seem to care so I didn't either. I was filled to the brim with happiness that the girl I love is in my arms. She was happy by the way she purposefully found reasons to be near me.

"Stellar Touch, Lightning." In her palm was an orb of the element. I picked it up and sucked it down, the electricity restoring my magic capacity to the very brim.

"That was almost better than breakfast, Lucy."

She giggled and helped me to my feet. I was at full strength and more. I feel like my magic reserve grew just because I fought her. I am so fighting her more often. "Let's go find Lisanna, eh?"

I nodded and sniffed out the girl and started walking in the direction the smell led me. Similar to Lucy's smell of strawberry and vanilla, Lisanna had the smell of lilies and tulips. Her smell was easy to find. I was closely followed by Lucy. She was moving silently like I was I could faintly hear two voices.

"Yeah, we have a slight problem." That was Natsu!

"What's that?" Lisanna?

"She just beat Laxus. She's gotten a lot stronger. She's on par with the S-Class. That's a problem, right?"

"She'll get what's coming to her. I have a plan. She could be the next S-Class of Fairy Tail. We won't let that happen. If a weak girl like that is made S-Class think of Fairy Tail's reputation? She'll destroy it."

"Maybe I should just get rid of her."

I trudged through the last of the shrubbery that separated us. I was sparking. I put Lucy in a thunder shield. "What the hell do you mean by get rid of her?"

"Oh Laxus! Lucy was so mean to me while you were exile! She was calling me names and being rude! Come on, you have to believe me! She's such a liar! She's using you, La-Chan!" Lisanna pleaded.

"Don't you fucking dare call me that! There is one person on this planet that can call me that. That's my girlfriend. That's Lucy Heartfilia!" I roared at them. "You won't lay a finger on her." I felt myself being hurtled towards dragon force. "She is the sweetest, most kind and gentle woman on this planet. I'll make sure that she is S-Class before any of you. She is stronger than you wish you ever could. Face it Lisanna, if you were to fight Lucy, you'd lose within the first minute. She'd destroy you."

"But Laxus, that's not fair of you. You know Lisanna's stronger than that weak little Lucy. She's only a manipulative bitch. You know that!" Natsu screeched.

"Did you just call my girlfriend what I think you did?" I reeled back my fist.

"Laxus! Stop!" Lucy shouted. "Don't fight because they provoked you! What happened to the calm, arrogant, cocky Laxus I know?"

I stopped mid-swing. "Alright. This once I'll spare you. For the sake of her."

She ran out of my barrier and hugged me, slightly dragging me back towards the guild. "Laxus, you promised you wouldn't lash out at the guild!"

I felt the guilt creep throughout my body. "Sorry Lucy. They said they would get rid of you. I don't want to risk even the slight possibility of losing you."

"That's sweet, Laxus, but I just proved I can handle myself in a fight. You don't have to worry though. I'm an S-Class already. Master gave it to me three months ago. I've been on quite a few S-Class jobs. I asked him not to announce it to the guild though, so it's a secret to us and Master."

I nodded slowly. My girl is fucking awesome! Emphasis on my girl.

I know! I know! It's not as long as you'd think! Soooo Sorry! Please R&R your thoughts and ideas! Love
