P.O.V Hope
I was talking happily with my best friend Lucila about our last mission, which was a great success, until two guys started bugging us to take a drink with them. We tried to let it pass but they didn't stop from watching our breasts and hugging us from behind, so we reached a point in which we just... exploded. We both took a microphone and began to sing Take a Hint (taken from the t.v show Victorious), we humiliated them bad. However, the incident caused my friend to get annoyed and return to the hotel where we were staying but i decided to stay and have a drink... non alcoholic of course- A crush please- i ordered politely to the barman who only nodded.
-I thought that people came to bars to drink alcohol- a mocking voice commented sitting next to me. I turned my gaze towards the voice and met with a pair of beautiful blue-green eyes that took my breath away, i was lost in them... but of course i didn't show it "Why would i? I don't need those kind of feelings... that's what Onichama always told me... those feelings were a weakness..."-By the way nice performance- he winked at me and then smirked taking a sip of his beer.
Taking a better look at him he had short blonde hair, he was tall, well-built "Very well-built... oh my god! How much i would love to slide my fingers through those muscles...", his features were strong and he had thunder scar on his right eye... suddenly i opened my eyes in realization-You are Laxus Dreyer, the thunder dragon slayer, from Fairy Tail!- i exclaimed "How didn't i notice before? Onichama would be very disappointed".
He chuckled bitterly and i felt his aura increasing "Why does he feel so... frustrated?"- Don't you mean Laxus Dreyer, Master Makarov's grandson?- "Is he jealous?... No he is angry cause he is always being compared to his grandfather... i hate when people do that!".
-Why would i?- i asked, trying to make my voice sound disinterested, and took a sip from my non-alcoholic beverage. His aura changed from rage and frustration to surprise and curiosity, i felt bad to read his aura like this... after all, feelings are a private thing that shouldn't be profaned like i am doing. But i need to help him... as well as he being a dragon slayer doesn't help cause dragons feel more deeply than humans, so they emanate a stronger aura that makes it almost impossible not read it by accident... plus the alcohol, lethal combination!
-Because everyone else does it- he answered, i didn't need my powers to notice his disappointment and sadness in his voice.
I smiled sweetly and locked my gaze with his- Well then you are lucky, cause i'm not like everyone else- his eyes widened in shock- Also, only because someone committed the mistake of comparing you towards your grandfather doesn't mean that the rest are like him or her- i winked playfully, then i looked at my drink, remembering my parents mistakes and my smile turned sadly- Not everyone are the same... don't lose hope of finding the right people with which you would live happily- i flashed an encouraging smile and gazed at my new friend, who had a surprised and confused look on his face. I immediately blushed- Sorry! I did it again. I always get carried away when i talk about this kind of things- i scratched my left forearm uncomfortable by being under his, now, stern gaze. He then broke into laughter making me boil in anger- What are you laughing at?!- i growled.
-No, you shouldn't be apologizing- he shook his head- Thanks!- he smiled- You are the first person that tells me that... and i liked it.
-Your welcome- i smiled happily "Yey! I have a new friend... it's kind of difficult for me... as it is for my Onichama too".
-By the way which is your name?- he asked.
-Hope, Rosetein Hope- i extended my hand and he took it.
-Laxus, Dreyer Laxus- he shook it- Hope eh? It suits you- he commented, making my heart skip a beat- Are you here for the tournament?
-Yes, me and my friends just came from a mission and decided to stop by and watch the games- i told him taking another sip of my drink.
-You are a mage?- he asked impressed- I didn't see any guild mark in you- he pointed out.
-That's because i'm a solo mage- i told him and chuckled at his worried expression- Don't worry i'm a legal solo mage, i'm not a dark mage or anything. I even make missions for the consul, they truly are a pain in the ass sometimes. Do this and do that- i groaned recalling what happened in the last mission i made for them- And all the paperwork, really! I decided to be a solo mage so anybody would tell me what to do and to get away from all the annoying as well as useless paperwork!- i exclaimed, making him laugh. After a while of trying to make him shut up i ended laughing with him- I'm an emotion mage, by the way- i added when our laughter finally stopped.
-Emotion mage? I heard about them... i thought that there were extinct- Laxus said.
-Yes, they were.
-Then how is it possible for you to be one?
-That's because emotion mages don't gain their magic from their genes but from their souls- i sighed, at his confused gaze and tried to find another way to explain him- My future daughter or son might not be an emotion mage cause she or he doesn't have the qualities necessary to be an emotion mage. When someone is born with those qualities and the ability to use magic then he can learn emotion magic.
-Which are those qualities?- he asked intrigued.
-You need to be able to feel and understand the other's feelings even without the magic to help you reading their auras- i said- But not only understand, you have to make those emotions yours. If someone is sad, you are sad. If someone is happy, you are happy. If someone is ashamed, you are ashamed. If someone is angry, you are angry. But you don't only fell it in your mind or heart... but it tattoos in the bottom of your soul- suddenly i noticed what i was doing. I was opening my heart to a man i had just known, a man that must be asking himself 'what is wrong with this chick?'... and i don't have the slightest idea of why. No i'm lying... i know why... there is something in his aura that makes me trust... something about how good it harmonized with mine... "But what does it mean?"- Sorry i talk to much- i murmured a bit ashamed of my outburst.
He chuckled- You shouldn't be. I asked you and you just answered, by the way i really like talking to you it's... refreshing- he smirked showing his sharp teeth similar to the ones of my Onichama.
I smiled back and we continued talking all night, getting to know each other better.
The Next Night
I was heading towards one of the most famous clubs in the city to have a bit of fun until a voice stopped me- Hope what are you doing so late in the streets?- Laxus asked me appearing in front of me as a thunder and then human.
You know that you are only six years older than me?- i growled, ever since i told him my age he treats me as if i was a child "For god's sake i'm a seventeen years old responsible teenager!".
-As if that wasn't a lot- he teased- Why are you out so late and with those reveling clothes?!- he asked one more time. I was wearing short tight black shorts, long leather bloody-red boots and a tight sparkly sleeveless bloody-red t-shirt.
-It's not of your business!- i barked and pushed him aside.
-Hope come on!- my friend Arthur called out for me, he had one of his predatory smiles on his face "Lucila must have gave him the yes to have sex with him tonight... lucky bastard!".
I smiled and tried to walk towards him but a grave growl came from the deepest of Laxus's chest causing me to froze "That kind of sound it's only heard when a dragon feels intimidated... why does Laxus feel like that? Is he jealous?". Out of the blue he grabbed me from my arm and carried me away on his thunder form- Who is he and what were you going to do with him?!- he shouted angrily as soon as we entered his hotel room... or at least i think it was that...- I thought you were better than throwing yourself to the first man...
He couldn't continue cause i slapped him hard- Don't you dare Dreyer to talk at me like that!- i barked- I won't let you call me a prostitute if you don't know anything about me!- i created a small blast that caused him to fell on the bed- Don't let your jealousy blind you!
-Who told you that i was jealous?!- i yelled back.
I smirked and crawled above him- It is written all over your aura- i purred in his ear. Not knowing why i was acting like that... but it was fun to tease him like that and watch his face turn pink.
-Stop reading my aura!- he demanded changing our positions, now he was in top and he had his face millimeters away from mine. I took that chance to do what i crave to do since the first moment i met him, that was yesterday night, i got lost in his beautiful eyes without caring about anything... cause i wasn't the only one. Laxus didn't stop from looking into my red eyes- Who was that guy?- he asked ones again, after what it seemed to be an eternity, but this time it was barely a whisper. That i wouldn't be able to hear if a weren't so close to him.
-My team mate Arthur- i gasped unable to lie to him or to hide anything from those eyes.
-Were you going to sleep with him?- his voice was full of sorrow "But why?... Onichama once told me that dragons know who are their mates as soon as they see them but sometimes it takes time to them to figure it out... could it be?... no that's impossible... but then why is he so worried?".
I noticed for the first time the smell of alcohol in his breath "Was he drinking?" and that his gaze shown defeat and sadness. Which broke my heart- No!- i jumped on him taking Laxus off guard. he ended up in a sitting position, grabbing me from my waist meanwhile i had my fingers entwinedin his hair and both of my legs on each side of his waist while sitting on his lap- He is dating Lucila, the girl that was with me in the bar the other night, we were just going to meet with the rest of the team at a club to have fun- told him almost choking with the words, at how fast i said it.
We both just stared at each other for a while, neither one daring to say a word or to move a bit. We were in our own world... and i liked it...- Then i should take you there- he finally said gulping hard, as if he just noticed the position we were sitting. He began to caress my back slowly "I bet he is doing it thoughtlessly"- I can't let you get bored with me when you could be having fun with your friends.
-I'm never bored when i'm with you- i confessed and blushed when i noticed what i had just said. Immediately i broke free of his hold and stood up straightening my clothes- I mean, it's fun to talk with you- i tried to cover up. I dared to look at him, he also had a shade of red on his cheeks "Maybe he... no that's impossible!"- Would you like to keep me company?
-Weren't you going out with your friends?- he asked me confused at my proposition.
-Yes, but they will all end up making out more than dancing- i told him with a deep sigh of frustration "As well as Onichama hates to dance so i'll end up dancing alone and i hate that".
-You don't have a boyfriend?- i could see that Laxus was trying to suppress the smile on his face... but failed miserably.
-No, i don't- i smirked playfully- Know someone that might be interesting?
-I do- he gasped. I opened my eyes in shock " i never thought that he would answer". Laxus didn't gave me the change to say anything cause we were flying through the city in his thunder side- It's this the club you were going to?- he asked placing me on the ground.
-No- i answered- But it doesn't matter let's get in- i smiled and i dragged him in side.
-What about your friends!- he shouted over all the noise of the music.
-They deserve it after all they always leave me alone to have sex with their couples!- i yelled, dragging him to the dance floor and began to move my hips to the rhythm of the music. After a few minutes he sighed defeated and dance along with me.
-Why are you so happy?!- he asked. I only smirked, locking my arms around his neck and dancing closer to him. I concentrate my magic to open his senses- W what is this?- he murmured closing his eyes in delight.
-This is the aura of the people and music combined- i whispered back. He turned me around, slamming me against his body. He placed one of his legs between mines and i felt his hands wander all over my body, only leaving untouched my private parts... but that turned me one way much more. I knew that he wanted to feel more... not more from me... but more from the aura... and i happily indulged.
-It feels as if i had just drank twenty barrels of beer- Laxus groaned in my hear. We continued dancing against each other at the rhythm of the music, not caring about the rest... well i never care about the rest but now it felt so good.
- That's why i never drink alcohol cause the feeling of people are enough to intoxicate me- i moaned a but when he touched a sensitive part of my torso. He chuckled at touched it again- Fuck you Laxus!- i growled unhappy to being played like this by him "I should be the one playing!".
-If only you could- i heard him whisper frustrated but let him think that i didn't cause i knew what was he talking about... after all i'm only a kid for him.
-We continued seeing each other after the Grand Magic Games finished. Each time i was with him i felt like i couldn't be more happy. We teased each other a lot, we competed about everything, we helped each other, we talked but we never kissed or anything like that- i started to cry again- I knew that i would end up with my heart broken but i still continued hoping that one day he would see me as an adult and not as a child... tonight i was going to confess cause i really can't be going and giving advices about love if i don't do them. If you, Onichama, was going to confess to Shrimp i was going to do the same... but...- i sobbed and he tightened his hold- I found Mirajane Strauss telling him that she loved him and then she kissed him... Laxus should be with a delicate and educate gorgeous woman like her not with an aggressive and wild girl like me!- out of the blue i was thrown against the wall with a burning pain on my right cheek.
