-Wow... you really know a lot about this- praised Nix after a howl afternoon of being taught by Laxus, making his ego grow... if that was possible.
-Well i was born there after all- the Thunder God whispered to himself.
However, his luck was so bad that Nix heard him- You were born in Greece?- she asked/gasped surprised- I haven't noticed your accent at all... you must really be very good with languages- "Thanks to the Olympus that she always comes up with a reasonable reason!" thought the king of Gods, to then frown when he saw her standing up- I'm really sorry Laxus but i have to get back home! I had a splendid time talking to you and i'm very grateful for your tips. We should meet again, this is my number call me and we could arrange it- she handed him a piece of paper. As their hands brushed a cold shiver ran through Laxus's spine, "Who is this girl?... Or should i be asking what?" he questioned himself- I always love making new friends!- that was the only thing that the Thunder God didn't want to know about Nix, cause friends don't sleep with each other.
Also, he doesn't only want to be sex partners with her... "What do i want from her" he asked himself as he saw her running under the snow from inside the cafe. Even though he still didn't have an answer he knew one thing, he had enough of acting as a fool. So he stood up and ran after her- Nix! Wait!- the Gods's king yelled from the top of his lungs, succeeding in stopping her- You really ran fast- he commented breathless, as he got to her side.
-Why did you follow me"- asked, intrigued, the adolescent.
-You said that if i wanted to meet you i only have to call you- Laxus simply answered, wearing a smirk on his face.
-I meant a phone ring!- giggled Nix, knowing that he was only joking- But i really must go home...
-Can't you just phone your parents and tell them that you will be returning home late?- Laxus had to swallow his growl. He was getting more and more frustrated by each second he spends with her. He can't understand why, but the feeling that she was trying to evade him brought a strange felling to his left chest... pain but he wasn't hurt.
-I can't- the Thunder God's confusion and anger didn't let him hear how her voice was breaking as she spoke.
-Why?!
-Because they are dead!- shouted Nix with tears steaming from her eyes, tears that seemed to be made of ice. However, Laxus didn't noticed that cause he was paying too much attention to the sorrow in her blue eyes- I always go home at the same time with the silly idea that they might enter by the door and say, 'Hey sorry we were late tonight!'- her knees could no longer stand her weight but just as she was about to collide on the cold ground, covered with snow, Laxus caught her- I always wait... I always wait at the same time each day... The same time that the police came home to inform me that my parent's car was found, destroyed, in the bottom of a hill...
Her sobs were uncontrollable now and the sky wasn't snowing anymore... It looked more like a snow storm. Although, this time the Thunder God didn't notice it too- Everything will be fine. I'm here for you Nix... i can't say that i know the feeling of loosing s dad you love cause...- he couldn't believe what he was doing. He had forbidden anyone to speak of his father in front of him... However here he was, telling this girl he only met a month ago, the story of his life WILLINGLY-... mine tried to kill me- "Well it was rather eat than kill... but no now is looking for techniques right now" he contemplated in his mind, being brought back by Nix's gasp.
-Thant's horrible!- she exclaimed, sadness forgotten and replaced by anger- How could a father do something like that?!- "We had all been asking ourselves that for millenniums" the king of Gods thought- I believe children must be loved and treasured no matter what! At least that is what i would do if i were a mother!
-And i'm sure you would be a marvellous one, Nix- murmured Laxus, forgetting how closed they were and that she would be able to hear him. So when he stood up and saw her blushing he thought it was because of crying in front of her. For one thing that he learned form her is that she hates to show weakness in front of anyone.
-Thanks for the vote of confidence Laxus- whispered to herself, low enough that not even the Thunder God's senses could hear her, and stood up brushing all the snow off- I don't want to be home alone... could you stay with me tonight?- she asked shyly.
Looking him through her long eyelashes with a delicate pink blush decorating her cheeks and eyes begging for company, taking his breath away. However no matter how much Laxus wanted himself to believe that the kind of help she was asking for was the one he had been craving since he heard her speak, he couldn't do it. She deserved better...
-Of course!- he answered with more force to his regret but covered it well by extending his right arm, for Nix to take... Which she did to the God's king relieve- Show the way, my lady.
Both of them chuckled before starting to walk while being impulsed by the icy wind.
Meanwhile in another side, a God and a Goddess were having a very important conversation- Brother i think he already knows- Levy whispered/sobbed to the hologram of Bickslow.
-I odn't think so... he might suspect but showed no sign of knowing the entire truth yet- he tried to calm down his little sister.
-I think we should tell him. I loath lying to MY King!- the Spring goddess begged.
-No! If we do it then everything we had been working for would be ruined!- warned the Sun God.
-But we had promised, a millennium ago, that we would tell the truth when the right time would came...- murmured the Queen of the Underworld.
-Did you forget what he did when he thought that we were sharing an affair?!- exclaimed the Music God- He almost started a War of Gods! If he ever finds out the real truth, she will be dead as soon as he lays eyes on her!
-But...
-The answer is no!- he cut her off before disappearing into thin air, leaving a teary Levy behind.
Unknown to both of them, Gajeel and Lisana were hearing the conversation and now they were sure that they need to find the truth of, what happened between their beloved ones? And who is she?
