RECAP:
'A whole month with Laxus Dreyar. The strong but cute Lighting Dragon Slayer. Wait did I say cute. There is no way I could like him is their? Well he was really sweet and reassuring on the lacrima.' Were the last things I thought before I fell asleep.
CURRENT TIME (LAXUS'S POV):
I cannot believe how much that women has affected me. I only meant to check up on her but ended up comforting her. My mind just went blank. I hated hearing her talk down about herself. It was all that damn fire breathers fault. I suppose it can also be Strippers for not defending her. I wanted to hate all the Team Natsu members but it was only that idiots doing. I mean Gray and Erza had no choice but to leave. They knew they had to make their rent and since Blondie decided to lock herself away from the world they left. If only they waited a little longer she would be with at least a part of her old team. Don't get me wrong though I'm damn glad they didn't. I feel some sort of attraction to our guilds Celestial Mage. I know that I've hurt her before but I'm hoping she'll forgive me. Why I care what she thinks I don't know. The only thing I know is that she's mine and no way in hell will anyone ever hurt her again. 'Mine.' I repeated in my head. Why do I want to make her mine so desperately? Just what the hell has this woman done to me? 'Mine.' I repeated once more. Yes. I will make her just that. Just a few hours now until I can see her, be with her, smell her, want her, long for her, have her. No, that last one I can't do. Not yet at least. She's still hurting from that bastard. I will change that. But I have to wait. 'Be patient Laxus she will be yours.' I said inside my mind. "Soon." I said aloud then drifted off to sleep.
LUCY'S POV:
It was a pretty fast train ride from Magnolia to Akane Resort. I ended up falling asleep and Laxus had to wake me up. At least he was gentle about it. We had already talked to the informant and he told us that a couple of dark mages were running around messing with hotel guests. It was causing really poor reviews so there was little people at the resort. I had remembered this place being packed with guests when Team Natsu and myself took a mission here. The manager then gave us our room key and told us that they have tried many times to catch at least one of the three wizards but to no avail. The reason it's a month-long mission is because no one knows what the dark mages look like and they are dangerous. 'This calls for an undercover mission.' I said in my head followed by a giggle.
"Don't." Laxus said.
"Don't what?" I replied.
"Whatever your thinking in that little blond head of yours. Don't do it." He warned.
"I was just think that we should go undercover." I told Laxus who was now standing beside me.
"What are we spies Blondie?" I heard him say as I ran up to hit the elevator button.
"No... but what else are we gonna do." I said a little disappointed. He seemed to notice and said "We're not spies but we have no other choice but to stake out the place."
"So we ARE going to go undercover?!" I practically yelled once the elevator doors closed behind us.
"Kinda, we are not doing any crazy shit okay Blondie. We're just going to observe that's all. Understand me, observe only" He said with a serious tone.
"Well that's no fun!" I complained. "This place has tons of roller coasters, hot springs, and restaurants, plus a beach. And we're just going to sit around watch everyone else have fun." I complained.
"No Blondie you'll get your fun. We have to look like we regular guests and I have full intentions of learning more about you on this little trip." He said pushing me against the wall of the elevator. "Everyone part of you" he said putting his hand on my waist and lowering his head. I took a deep breath unsure of what the wild man above me would do next. I found myself staring at his beautiful orange eyes then gazed down and saw his shirt was loose enough for me to see right down. I then licked my lips at the sight of his perfectly toned muscles. I always knew Laxus was hot but I never thought he was this incredibly sexy. "Enjoying the view" he asked which made me shoot my eyes up to meet lust filled ones. Then the next thing he did shocked my completely. He dipped his head down inches from mine. Inches then became centimeters and I knew I wanted him. His lips were so close to mine...
"Oh my Mavis!" I yelled as I sat up in my bed. I then traced my lips where I knew Laxus would have put his in my dream. But for the love of my sanity, what did it mean? Did I really want to kiss Laxus? I really think I did. But that can't happen! Not anymore. I've given up on love. My dream was nothing more than a fabrication. "Ya that's it just a fantasy. I mean it was a dream." I said out loud. I decided it was time for me to get ready to head to the train station noticing it was 6:30. I then took a quick shower and packed my bag. I decided to bring outfits from both my closet and from my reward. I also threw in 2 nice dresses and 3 stunning bikinis since I didn't know what our activities would consist of. Since I knew I would be training I threw in some flexible leggings and a sports training top. Then I placed a first aid kit inside. I also added tennis shoes, sandals, beach accessories and three books for when I got bored. One of the books being the one about Dragons and Dragon Slayers. After I packed my surprisingly two small bags I headed into the kitchen. There I made myself a quick breakfast consisting of strawberry pancakes. Once I finished eating and cleaning up my mess; I added a bag of jewels into my bag for food, emergencies and my train ticket. I then headed out the door to begin my first mission with Laxus Dreyar hoping to return home in one piece. I knew I had 6 months to train until the next S-Class exams and then another 6 months until the Grand Magic Games. As I locked the door to my apartment I found myself thinking: 'Can I really become S-Class in 6 months?'
Once I made it to the train station I looked at the clock which read 7:40. Since I had twenty minutes I decided to go buy Laxus and myself tickets. As I made my way to the ticket booth I saw Laxus sitting there with his headphones on. I guessed he noticed me because he took them off and reached into his pocket and pulled out two tickets.
"Morning" he said and handed me one of the tickets.
"Good morning Laxus. How much do I owe you for the ticket?" I asked him taking my ticket from his hand.
"None and you best not complain. It's just a damn ticket, no big deal." he said.
"Oh thank you" I said slightly shocked.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"N-nothing, it's just no one's ever bought me a ticket. I'm usually the ones who buys the tickets when ever Team Natsu went on jobs." I told him sitting down next to him.
"Well they should have, considering you got one for them every mission and they were also the reason you guys didn't get the full reward. They owe you. Now come on the trains here and no being depressed okay, we are going to a resort after all." Laxus said.
"Your right Laxus. I never expected you to be so kind and understanding." I said following him on to the train.
"Well don't judge a book by its cover. Oh and if you tell anyone I was nice you'll regret it." He said with a serious tone. I saw how serious his face was but I couldn't suppress my giggle. He looked so upset but now that I knew he had a soft side I couldn't help it. During my giggle fit he just glared at me and then finally laughed with me. I was so shocked to hear him laugh that I stopped laughing for a few seconds before my laughing attack came back. Once we finally calmed down we made our way into an empty cart and put our stuff down.
"Okay that was interesting I never thought I would hear you laugh." I told him still breathing heavy from the laughter.
"I told you don't judge a book by its cover. Though I have to hand it to you, I haven't laughed like that in a long time." He said regaining his composer.
"Ya your right. Well tell me about this month-long mission. Since I didn't know what we would be doing I kind of packed aimlessly." I said.
"Well the main thing we have to do is capture two dark mages that have destroyed Akane Resort. They're completely damaging the place. They damaging buildings and hot springs as well as creating sand storms on the beach completely wrecking it. So far the worst they did was tamper with a roller coaster that ended the lives of an adult and two kids. Our job is to capture them and help with restoring the resort." Laxus said.
"That's awful! They killed children, how could someone do that!" I said frantically.
"I know but remember Lucy, there dangerous. But this will be could training, both with capturing them and helping clean up their mess." he said.
"Okay I'll be careful." I told him.
"Good, oh and the guy that sent the request said if we finish early then we can enjoy the remainder of the mission time at the resort free of charge." Laxus said with a grin.
"WHAT!" I yelled. "Okay now I'm even more determined! We are going to take these mages down fast! I want to use their beach to train my spirits." I told him.
"Remember the reason your here Blondie. You owe me, so I'll be training you after we catch the mages and clean everything up. Understand." he said to me.
"Yes Laxus and you do realize your blond too right?" I asked him a little upset.
"Tch" was the response he gave me.
"Oh.. u-um L-laxus we don have to u-um go um well you know undercover do we?" I asked with a slight blush.
"No, why would you think that? And what's up with the stuttering?" He asked me.
"Oh I don't know just an idea and ya well um how are we going to find and capture them if we don't know what they look like?" I said quickly changing the subject.
"That's the easy part. When we get there we are going to check in and then take or stuff up to the room. Afterwards depending on how late it is we'll either crash for the night or go see the informant who has surveillance photos of the mages." He said.
"Oh okay um last question. How long until we get there?" I asked him.
"Four hours so go ahead and sleep I'll wake ya up when we get there you'll need your strength" He told me slipping on his headphone as the train departed from the station. I knew he was right so I took one of the pillows from overhead and leaned against the window to fall asleep. I thought about my partner for this mission. I already long forgave him for the Fantasia incident. I just couldn't believe how nice he was being to me. How sweet and dare I say funny he was. Maybe a month with Laxus won't be so bad.
So this is the end of chapter 4. A little LaLu action for you. How many of you are pissed it was just a dream. I know I am. But in this chapter I finally completely the main idea. I'm hoping to get at least 15 or 20 chapters on this story. I really appreciate you guys following this story because it is the first one I have written. So thank you! and I'll see you next time! Lastly, starting now I'm going to start ending each chapter with the next chapters title to give you an idea of what to expect.
