Run that's all he did, he run as fast as he could so he would be next to her. So he would be able to help her if her time to... go away was coming. He wanted to be by her side, he did want to her to spend her last moments with him. He wanted to see her smile to him, he wanted to spy her when she sings, he wanted her to laugh because of him, he wanted to see her adorable blush dedicated just for him, he wanted to feel the little bit of warmness that her body is able to emanate when he hugs her in her sleep, he wants to feel that internal peace that only she is able to grant him... but more than anything he wishes for them to be able to spend her last moments in their own world. A world where Olympus's or Earth's problems don't get through, a world in which they can be together and feel safe and perfect in each others arms.
He still didn't know why. He had never slept with her, he had never even kissed those tempting lips, so why would he want so much a girl that rejected him thousands of times cause she knew that he was married?!
Looking for answers in his head he recalled what happened before he left the Olympus:
-That Nix is going to die?!- sobbed Evergreen. Not liking at all that one of her few female friends, to no say only, was going to pass away.
-That's not Manly at all!- exclaimed Elfman at the edge of tears. And Freed wasn't any better, even though he already knew. After their meeting at 'Levy' the four of them had been meeting a lot, specially when they found out that Laxus was wooing her. Ever and Nix played Eros (Cupid in Roman) all over the city while the three of the boys laughed at their childish behavior but they only puffed their cheeks angrily and continued with their little game. Freed and the mortal would went to every museum, exposition and library that was in the city, the God of Wisdom really pulled a good show as a history teacher. The most funny of all the things that happened on those boring trips, in Laxus's opinion (A/N: Don't get me wrong! I love history!), was that once Elfman made a comment that men were chosen for war because they were stronger. At that Nix' jumped to the rescue of feminism and told the War God that women could be as strong as men. That ended up with him teaching her how to fight- Nix promised that she would kick my ass as soon as i finished training her, it's not Manly to break promises!
-There still is a way to save her. reminded them Freed, trying to think positive. There still was so many things that he wanted to teach her.
-But what will happen if her body would give up before full moon?- asked fearfully the Goddess of Love as her boyfriend wrapped his arms around her shoulder, trying to comfort her. At that question the King of Gods tensed "What would i do if i lost her?" he thought. He got so costume to have her this last two months that he couldn't even imagine a life without her- You should be by her side, Laxus-sama.
-Why me?!- he inquired defensively "Why am i acting so defensive?" he questioned himself not knowing what was going inside his head.
-Men are really so dense!- exclaimed Evergreen, angering the three Gods- You are in love with her- she said slowly with a knowing smile- It is written in every part of you whenever you look at her!
The Thunder God was shocked at what his aunt was saying. He had lived so much time never experienced love, that wasn't familiar, that he couldn't believe that he fell for a simple mortal. "But she isn't a simple mortal, she is Nix... OUR Nix" reminded him his unconscious- I can't- he ended up saying.
-Why not?!- demanded Ever, Freed and Elfman.
-Because even if i was in love with her, every time try to make a move on her she gets angry. And i don't know why! - yelled frustrated the King of Gods.
-I do- said a voice behind them. A voice that the four of them knew quite well, a voice that sent shivers through their spine- Don't you even dare to send anyone to protect that little mortal of yours, Laxus.
Fear was the only emotion that the Thunder God could feel, "Was she already dead?... OR worst?" he began to panic- What have you done to Nix, Mirajane?!- shouted the King of Gods to his wife.
-I found out about your little 'affair' a long while ago- began the Queen of Gods enjoying how the suspense was killing them- So i payed her a visit...
-You better not have done anything!- yelled furious Laxus not imagining what that jealous demon he has as wife would have done to someone as pure as HIS Nix.
-I didn't, i went with the intention to torture that mere mortal- they all tensed drastically- However you would all know my surprise when she answered me when i asked her what she thought of you, Laxus. She said and i quot: 'Handsome, a total bad-ass, intelligent and what every girl wants... but unluckily already taken. I'm not the kind of girl that goes for the man of another woman'- the Thunder God's eyes couldn't be wider than they already were and his jaw was as low as possible "She is attracted to me?" he noted happily in his head- She had noticed the magic wedding ring i put in your finger- she continued pointing at the gold ring in Laxus's finger. He, Freed, Elfman and Evergreen had just noticed it- Only females that my husband had an intention to woo would see it, not only that they would be drawn to it... they would know that he already had an owner.
-You did what?!- the Gods's King's mind was giving up already, too much information for one night.
-Of course it didn't work- continued, completely ignoring Laxus, Mira- Even if they knew that my husband was already married, his charms were a fair risk for them to take. Until Nix came along, when i heard her answer i left her live a bit longer and spied on both of you. I saw how she fell deep and painfully slowly in love with you, Laxus- once again the Thunder's God's jaw dropped "Yeah, too many emotions" he stated in his head sitting down on his throne- But she never gave in to the temptation. She stayed strong and faithful to her pride as a woman. During my time watching her i had grown to like her and discovered something very important... I hate being married to someone that doesn't love me at all, someone that as soon as another pretty female comes along he would ran after them. I want to find a man that i love and he loves me back, someone i can trust. As well as i can't keep such a cute couple apart from each other.
-Mira... are you saying what i think you are saying?- asked slowly the Gods's King, not knowing if he had to be happy or sad.
-What am i trying to say is this...- suddenly the gold ring disappeared from the Thunder's God's finger- I set you free Laxus, we aren't married anymore. So go after your woman!
As soon as the words left her mouth, the new single God had already left the room and was running after his beloved one.
So maybe Ever was right, he Laxus King of Gods had fallen for a mortal- Laxus? What are you doing here? How did you even enter my house without a key?- asked him Nix as soon as he barged into her flat.
-I left her- he was only able to say.
-What? I don't understand. What do you mean by 'i left her'?- inquired the adolescent confused and concerned by the sudden change of behavior of her friend. Out of the blue she was trapped between Laxus's body and the kitchen's table- What are you...
-I divorced my wife- cut her off the God, taking Nix by surprise. She was expecting that to happen... ever!- I left her cause i'm in love with you- he finally admitted it to her and himself- Don't say anything- Laxus said when he saw her opening her mouth to comment- Just sing with me- he demanded before lifting her and caring her to the living where he sat her on his lap, with his arms wrapped around her waist.
At the beginning Nix felt confused, shocked, more confusion and then an ecstasy able to make her explode. so if he wanted her to sing with him she would do it gladly cause now there was nothing that made her feel that her love for this man was something wrong.
So when he started to sing, Nix just followed his suit.
