-I never get bored of this place!- murmured in aw Nix as she spun under the violet jacarandas that were all over the hectare. Being at that place always made her feel safe and in peace... as if there was someone watching for her-Laxus? What's wrong?- she asked her friend concerned cause he was making a disgusted face.
-Nothing- he answered, suspiciously too fast.
-Of course, by the way my grand mother is Madonna- Nix said sarcastically, earning a chuckle from him- Come on tell me the truth!
-Ok, ok i'll tell you- he sighed defeated under Nix's puppy eyes- The truth is that i had just spotted two of my oldest friends having sex under one of those jacarandas...
-What?!- the adolescent cried indignantly. 'Levy' was where her parents always took her for her birthday, that place was sacred to her and her family- You both stop in this right moment!- Nix demanded to the couple that was starting to take their clothes off- She was so angry that she didn't notice the deadly auras that the white haired man and brown haired woman were emanating- Is that you have so low respect as a woman that you let a man fuck you in a public space?!
-How dare you?!- Evergreen (Aphrodite) exclaimed.
She wasn't going to let a little girl talk to her like that. However just when she was about to curse her to live in a horrible body for the rest of eternity, she froze the girl's next words- You are a gorgeous woman, he needs to treat you as a lady, shower you with love, show you that he will be there for you and that you are the only one in his eyes... not screw you in front of people as if you were a slut! Cause you are not one!
-You think that i am beautiful?- murmured a blushing Evergreen.
-Even a blind could see that- Nix's answer only increased Ever's blush. "Ok, i won't curse her" she decided in her head- Look, sorry for my outburst but this place is one of my last and only memories i've got from my dead parents- "Wow! It's been a while since i've met a mortal with such a pure love" exclaimed stunned the Goddess of Love as she saw the heart of the adolescent with her magic eyes- Also, i loath when people use love as a game. Love is one of the feelings that must be treasure the most!
-I know!- interb¡vined the Goddess of Beauty- The world would be much a better place if everyone had someone to love.
-At least someone that understands me!- sighed relived Nix earning a nod from Evergreen-Also, it's kind of entertaining to watch a good love triangle problem.
-Kind of?- inquired Ever with a knowing smile.
-Ok a lot!- admitted the adolescent.
-I like you kid, by the way my name is Evergreen- announced the Goddess extending her hand for Nix to shake, which she did with a smile.
-As the Greek Goddess of Beauty and Love?- Ever nodded with a proud and cocky smile as she laughed in her head imagining the little girl's reaction if she finds out the truth- It suits you- the adolescent praised, making the Goddess blush again- My name is Nix, a pleasure to meet you!
-It's not Manly to be ignored!- protested Elfman (Ares), not liking at all this girl that appeared from no where and stole all the attention from his woman.
-It's not Manly to treat your woman as a bitch either, mister- Nix poked his broad chest with a finger sending him a cold glare that made him shiver- If you want to be a Man you should respect women first- the adolescent scolded the God, who felt ashamed from being reminded of how a true Man should act.
-You already know my name but i don't know yours.
-Elfman God of War!- he exclaimed receiving a hit in his head by Ever.
-Jajaja... he's so funny...- Evergreen laughed nervously while Nix was watching them with a crooked eyebrow.
-Ok... by the way Elfman if you want her to forgive you i recommended you to buy her jewelry and take her out for a romantic dinner- the adolescent advised before turning around- Sorry guys but i came here with someone, bye bye.
"Maybe she isn't that bad" the War God thought as he transported Ever and him to Paris.
-You truly are amazing- muttered under his breath Lauxs as he watch Nix scold his aunt and his son. It was incredible how easily it was for her to stuck a chord of a God or Goddess and leave unharmed.
-Sorry for keeping you waiting!- she apologized to him before returning to their walk. They chat and laughed as they contemplated the flowers and plants of the green house, loving each second of it. Specially the Thunder God that was able to see a new part of Nix, her childish one... who would have thought that she would cry cause her ice-cream fell to the ground?!- Thanks you once more for bringing me here... it brought back a lot of memories i thought that died with my parents- she told the God while they were having something to drink in the cafe of 'Levy'- I always loved this place's coconut cheesecake... mom used to buy me one for my birthday- Laxus's heart pained at seeing her sad smile and a single crystal tear fell from her eye, still don't knowing why he felt like that- Ups sorry, i'm getting to emotional today- she wiped the tear away- I hope you had a good day too... Laxus?- she asked concerned cause the King of Gods didn't answer her.
-I did indeed- the God answered cracking a smile slowly. He had a good time! He didn't get angry at people cause they treated him as equal, he didn't have to worry about anyone in the Olympus or out of it, he laughed carefree, he teased her mockingly, he didn't have to curse anyone... he felt for the first time peace- The best time in all my life- he confessed to the wide open woman in front of him- And i'd like to repeat it some other day.
-Yeah, me too- Nix answered as soon as she recovered from her shock.
- Laxus-sama?!- exclaimed a very familiar voice behind him. When the Thunder God turned around his suspicions were confirmed, Freed (Athena) was there. (A/N: I know that Athena should be female but in Fairy Tail Freed and Levy are the only one that would suit the character).
"Why is everyone here today?!" the Thunder God thought annoyed. After all he just wanted to enjoy his time, alone, with Nix.
-Friend of yours?- asked his companion with a small smile, "I bet she likes the idea of making a new friend" noted the Gods's king.
-Yes, he is- Laxus indicated to the God of Wisdom to sit with them- Nix, this is my good and old friend Freed. Freed, this is my new and dear friend Nix.
-Friend?- asked Freed confused cause his father never is friends with a woman, they are always to get laid. But shut up when the Thunder God shot him a deadly glare, luckily for him Nix didn't see it.
-Why is it that all of your friends and you have the name of Greek Gods?- the adolescent inquired curiously.
-Well your name is of a Roman Goddess- interrupted Freed.
-It is?- asked the other two at the same time.
-Yes, Nix the Goddess of Winter. The owner of the icy winds, snow and ice. Queen of demons- the God of Wisdom began to explain- Wife of the dead Demon King as well as mother of Ultear, princess of darkness, Lyon and Grey, princes of ice, Eve, prince of snow, and Shellia, princess of the icy winds, all of them are demons. Myths said that she was a gorgeous Goddess, kind but strict. Heroes could find shelter in her palace but if they try to deceive her they would face a horrible death.
-I never heard of her- murmured Nix surprised, trying to process all the information.
-That's because she is normally confused with a demon but indeed she is a full Goddess- explained the Wisdom's God.
-Wow... now that's something interesting. It looks like you truly love to explain things, could it be that you are a teacher?- Nix asked curios again.
-It seems that you are a curious girl- chuckled Freed.
-On that you are wrong- she answered ignoring the black aura that suddenly surrounded him. After all no one tells the God of Wisdom that he is wrong- It's not that it seems, i AM very curious. So much that people always tell me to be careful for 'curiosity killed the cat'- she giggled a bit before continuing talking with her new friend until it was late and they all needed to head back home.
-Freed liked you- told her Laxus as they reached the door of her flat.
-Yeah, i liked him too- she said leaning on the door- He seems to be a good guy and friend.
-On that you are wrong- Laxus differed with a cocky smirk- It's not that it seems, he IS a very good guy and friend.
Both of them laughed but Nix noticed that Laxus was, rarely, tense and silent ever since Freed mentioned the Roman Goddess- Is there something wrong?
-No- he shook his head from side to side before turning around- I just... need to think... about a few things...
-Ok...- said a bit unsure Nix- You know that i'm right here for anything you need, don't you?
-I do- Laxus answered with a small sad smile before leaving a confused Nix behind.
"Beautiful... kind and strict... affinity with winter... her name is Nix... they are both so similar. Could it be that both of them are the same?... No! She would have told me... maybe she doesn't remember... ah! I'll need Freed's help on this" argued in his head the Thunder God as he entered the Olympus.
Meanwhile in some other part there were a bunch of sibling discussing something important:
-We need to protect her from him- a boy stated.
-No! It looks like he means no harm to her- a girl interrupted.
-But how will we know that he won't change his mind when he finds out the truth- another guy pointed out.
-We just need to keep our eyes on them and everything will be alright- the same girl argued back.
-I think the same that our sister- a boy and a girl said at the same time.
-He might be a good card to have on our side when everything explodes- the first girl tried to convinced her young twin brothers who at the end nodded but a bit unsure...
