A/N: I am very sorry for everything. For leaving anyone hanging. I am seriously out of ideas, combined with the internship, ugh, there goes my life called vacation. *sigh* But I leave you this, guys, which bring me back to my earlier statement. I am sorry for the length of this part. This was just an idea that came to me a while ago, when the song "SHE" by Elvis Costello played in my playlist while I'm going home. This is mainly fluff and OOC.

By the way, thank you for the one that added my story to the community, LaLu and Love traingles. You have my gratitude! :D


Chapter 5

Laxus watched his wife.

Maybe it was after an hour—he couldn't tell—but something about the way Lucy's head was uncomfortably resting on the glass window of the carriage and the continuous rocking of their transportation made him recall a memory buried in their years. That's right; it was their little moment in that train boarding towards Clover Town when she prodded about his past and dictated him to lay his head on her lap.

That's right, he watched her as she dozed off to dream land while she rested her chin on her palm and her brow on the train glass.

Truthfully, he never even slept that time, he was just carefully watching each rise and fall of her chest, observing the way her lashes flutter each time a wind blew, how her sleeping face changed from a loony smile to an uncomfortable frown. Despite the amnesia she had, there was this subtle feeling of peace in her features. He remembered that he almost barked in laughter as she lost the balance of her propped arm and her head groggily fell. But he held it in because he wanted to observe her in silence longer, undisturbed. Because at that point of his life, he realized that she…Lucy Heartfilia, may not be what she may seem inside her shell.

She was always happy in a crowd, with the bunch of idiots she called team, with that demonic barmaid, with that drunkard Cana, with the bookworm Levy, with her valued Spirits and with the people they've both sworn to protect, Fairy Tail. She was a beauty. Graceful. Well-bred. Refined. A lady. But among those virtues of a higher upbringing, she has strength, independence, humility. She never treated his Fairy Tail as servants. In fact, she may as well be the beast. He smiled, knowing that those cahoots Natsu and Gray were no match to her hell hath no fury. She was the person that can turn each day into a heaven or a hell.

But more than that, she was a hundred different things. She has the body to lust for but the enigma about her was the fact that she was no whore. She was reserved and educated. A little on the nerd side—okay, too much on the nerd side— because she has a dream to fulfill but it didn't involve just finding the right man, marrying him into the sunset and frolic in the house wearing only a pink, frilly apron for her husband. No, that's not it. She endeavors to be a writer, a novelist. She dreams of writing about her adventures with Fairy Tail, as her meddlesome team mates gracefully put it.

It was that particular moment in his life that he realized that, out of all the women he had met, she was the one woman he'll remember till the day he dies. But back then, when he hasn't completely enamored by this enigma named Lucy Heartfilia, never he would have thought that she'll be his reason to survive.

It was thanks to all the heavens above that he was now with her in the present time, he was with the why and wherefore he's alive, with the one he'll care for through the rough in many years. He has her. Laxus has Lucy just like how Samson has Delilah or Adam has Eve. Where Lucy goes, Laxus have got to be because he'll take her laughter and her tears and make them all souvenirs. And now, he finally realized—no, probably a long, long time ago when he met her in his teenage years, he had already realized—that the meaning of his life was, is and will be…

"She." Laxus smiled.


EDIT: To the reviewer xxLALUFAN143xx, I can't seem to find your account, so I have to be a little creative in conveying my reply. I really hope that this message reaches you. Thank you for your kind words. I am glad that someone considers me as a dedicated writer. And about your question: Yes. Fairy Tail continuously airs here in our country but sadly, I'm not updated about the "to be aired" episodes. *sighs*. I hope you'll find this. Thank You! :D
