I get out of the bathtub after about thirty minutes and wrap a towel around my body. Why are these people so determined to help me? They only met me yesterday. I don't get it. I put my underwear on and walk into Lucy's bedroom to get pajamas. As I pull out a matching tank top and shorts. I hear someone clear their throat. "You know if you wanted to seduce me you could have just walked out naked?" I groan and turn around.
"What the hell are you doing in here Laxus?" I put my hands on my hips the pajamas forgotten in my frustration. I turn and see him lounging on Lucy's bed with one leg hanging off the edge. He smirks and stands up. "I came to see you."
"Well you saw me. You can leave now." He saunters up to me.
"No smartass I came to offer my help with training." I cross my arms.
"You came to offer help?" I ask brows raised.
"Yes, help. I am an s-class wizard after all. I can teach things no one else can." He leans a bit closer.
"What is it with you people and helping me? You barely even know me!"
"That's what Fairy Tail is. It's a family and family help each other, like it or not you are now one of us. You can't get rid of us." He sounds content but also a little sad.
"Well, then I guess I better get used to it." I whisper softly. He places his hands gently on my hips and leans his face centimeters away from mine. "You will." I feel his breath fan across my face just before he brushes his lips against mine asking permission. I put my arms around his neck and push my lips harder against his. I run my fingers through his hair and feel his hands work their way up my waist and skim just below bra. He runs his tongue on the curve of my bottom lip asking for entrance and I open up. As we battle for dominance his arms slide more securely around my waist and pick me up so I am settled on top of the dresser then go back to roaming my body. I feel his tongue slide against the back of my teeth and moan into his mouth. He takes this as encouragement and removes his mouth from mine kissing his way down my neck. I rake my nails lightly up his back and feel more than hear his groan. I grab his hair and pull his mouth back up to mine nipping his bottom lip. I run my hands up his stomach under his shirt and flatten my hands when I reach his chest. One of his hands grabs my hair and pulls my head back exposing my neck he kisses the base of my throat and bites just under my ear soothing it with his tongue. He releases my hair and trails his hands to my bra clasp. This is going too fast. We need to slow down. I gently push on his chest and lay my head against his shoulder breathing erratically. He kisses the top of my head his breath shuddering out of him.
"I'm sorry." I whisper my breath fanning across his chest. He shakes his head.
"It's my fault. I moved too fast." He gathers me tighter against him. We stay like that for several minutes soaking up the silence neither of us willing to say anything to interrupt the peace. I finally pull out of Laxus's arms and look into his eyes. "So what does this mean?" He sighs and rubs his head. "Honestly, I don't know." I avoid his gaze. I don't need this, right now I need to focus. I shove off the dresser and pull on the pajamas I had gotten out. As I head towards the kitchen Laxus grabs my arm. "Wait." I slowly turn and face him. He reaches out and grabs my other arm pulling me towards him. "You can't act like that didn't happen." I stare into his eyes.
"I can and I will. I can't do this right now! Whatever this is. I haven't even dealt with the emotions from yesterday." I can see the sun rays shining in from the window behind me dancing on the floor. I pull my arms from his grasp and fold them over my chest protectively. Laxus leaves his hands at his sides and stares at me his jaw tightening.
"Then let me help you!" I start shaking my head.
"I don't need your help. I can deal with it on my own." With that I turn on my heel and head towards the kitchen. I walk in the kitchen and greet Lucy.
"Hey, how was your bath?" She inquires. I sit at the table.
"Fine." Lucy brings me a cup of Green tea and sets it on the tale along with a plate containing pancakes.
"I went ahead and made breakfast. I figured you would be hungry."
"Thank you." I pick up my fork and dig in. As I shoving a piece into my mouth Laxus stomps into the kitchen.
"I'm going back to the guild. Bye Blondie…. Sophie." He curtly nods and slams the door on his way out. Lucy stares at the door for a moment a puzzled expression on her face.
"What's wrong with him?" Thankfully before I can answer Natsu comes barging in from Lucy's room. "Hey Lucy, why does your bed smell like Laxus?" She jerks her head towards Natsu and sighs.
"How many times have I told you to use the door? And laxus was just here he wanted to talk to Sophie." A sudden dawning look takes over her face and she turns her attention to me.
"What did you two talk about?" I slightly choke on my food.
"Nothing. He just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to run again." I lie coolly. Lucy narrows her eyes but doesn't question it further. I yawn.
"Well I am going to go sleep for a bit. Goodnight." I walk into the living room and settle on the couch as Lucy and Natsu call out their goodnights. The second my head hits the pillow I am out.
I decided to put a bit of romance in. Did I do a good job? Any opinions? Anyways I know I keep saying this but I pinkie promise training starts next chapter. Scouts honor. Catch you later!
