Chapter 5 – Whispers

It was one of those rare nights when the moon was so full and clear, that the light that shown down from it even cast shadows in the night. A surprisingly fresh breeze was passing through cooling down the august darkness in Magnolia. And there was Lucy wobbling in front of him, her skin seeming to glow in the light the moon had borrowed from the sun.

Laxus watched her with amusement as she wobbled a little this way, a little that way. She was going in the right direction, just not in a straight line exactly. She stopped next to the raised ledge next to the river, eyeing it speculatively. She bent down and got a closer look at it.

What the hell is she doing?

Next thing Laxus knew, Lucy was raising one shaky leg trying to climb on top of the ledge.

"The Hell! Hey Blondie nonono, don't do that!"

Laxus sprinted forward and grabbed onto her tiny wrist, then put another arm around her waist to balance the stumbling spirit mage.

"What the hell do you think your doing!? You could have fallen in you idiot!"

Lucy looked up at him with that dumb drunk grin on her face.

"They alwaaays say that! I never fall in, Plue protects me." She said the last sentence with a giggle.

Laxus looked around, the wobbly dog nowhere to be seen. He cast a tentative glance towards the river hoping he hadn't fallen in. He was NOT jumping into the damn river to fish out that pretend dog!

"Where is he anyways?" He asked the blond.

Lucy looked around curiously. The dummy never even noticed he had disappeared. She looked up at Laxus with wide eyes.

"Ooops."

"What do you mean oops!?" Shit he really WAS gonna have to jump into the damn river wasn't he!

Lucy let out one of her childlike laughs of complete happiness and fell into his chest. She bunched his shirt into her tiny fists and nuzzled her face against him. After a moment she looked up at him with those big stupidly cute bambi brown eyes of hers.

"Don't worry! Plue opened up his own gate to show up at the guild. He must have run out of power and gone back."

She pushed off of Laxus's chest and started walking towards her apartment again. Thankfully she had either forgotten or given up on walking on the Ledge of the river bank.

"They can do that?" Laxus followed her keeping pace, one hand on her lower back just in case.

"Hmm? Well yeah, Loke is amazingly strong he can pretty much open his gate whenever he wants. Actually almost all of my Zodiac Keys have opened their own gates at one point or another."

Lucy looked down and caressed the keys on her belt fondly.

"I think Horologium is actually my only silver key that's ever actively opened his own gate when I have been in need. Actually I'm surprised Plue was able to open his own gate. He's not a very strong spirit."

Laxus cast a glace at the keys dangling on her hip. "So its hard then? Opening up their own gate?"

Lucy nodded her head. Her arms outstretched now on either side of her for balance as she took carful wide steps, trying to avoid the cracks in the pavement.

"Oh yes, Plue must have been really worried for me and used everything he had to come to me tonight. I'm gonna have to do something nice for him. Hmmm, Maybe I'll buy some lemon cake for him tomorrow. Do you like lemon cake Laxus?"

Laxus looked at the tiny mage surprised, and then chuckled. "Lemon cake is actually my favorite."

He cast a quick glance at Lucy, only to see that she had stopped in her tracks, and was looking up at him with surprise.

"Huh? What?" Laxus raised his famous eyebrow at the diminutive blond.

Lucy shook her head, her hair flying back and forth, her whole body actually wobbling with the effort.

"I know something about you!"

Laxus winced, it had come out very high pitched! He placed his hands on her shoulders and patted her awkwardly, hoping it would calm her down.

"Calm down Blondie, jeeze! You already know stuff about me."

Lucy walked backwards from him until she came up against a brick wall and looked up at him while shaking her head.

"No. Those are all things everyone knows, common knowledge, basic things. Those aren't the deep down things." She touched at her chest when she said deep down.

"Even in the storage room when we were swapping stories, it was all about your team, there was nothing that was just you. But this..." She paused and closed her eyes. "I know your favorite cake." She opened her eyes up and smiled at him.

"I know a part of Laxus's heart now."

Laxus looked down at her absolutely shocked.

"Its not my favorite anymore!" He growled down at her, bringing his fist up in front of him.

"Whaa? NO way! No take backs! Lemon Cake is your favorite!" Lucy poked a finger at his chest angrily.

Laxus was pissed! It was just a cake, so what if it was his favorite? Doesn't mean that it was part of his deep down secret heart or whatever she had said. She was being dumb obviously. But still, how dare this girl think she could have a part of his heart.

Laxus glowered down at Lucy while she pouted angrily up at him.

"Fine!" You know my god damn stupid cake!"

Lucy grinned slyly. "I know something about you."

Her eyes got strangely serious then, just like back at the guild. She reached out a hand to me, tugging on my shirt sleeve.

"Hey Laxus…"

"What?" Laxus growled back sullenly.

"Don't tell anyone kay? I wanna be the only one to know."

Laxus felt a small tug on his heart. It was warm, but hurt the tiniest bit. Did she…. Did? Did she really just take a piece of my heart?

Without a thought he was on her, one hand bracing himself against the wall the other wrapped around her tiny waist pulling her close. His head buried nuzzling her neck. He then slowly traced his nose along her neck till his lips where by her ear.

She was gasping and breathing shallowly, one hand clutching his arm the other clutching at his chest.

"Alright then fairs fair, I want to know a deep thing about you. Answer me this."

He pulled away from her just enough so he could look her in the eyes. She returned his gaze warily.

"In the Storage room, when I kissed you. Was that your first kiss?

Her eyes went from worry to angry in literally the blink of an eye.

"I'm not telling!" She barked, then hid her face in his chest.

"Hey! You started this! It totally was wasn't it?" Laxus grinned down at the mop of messy blond hair, all that he was able to see of the girl. She shook her head furiously against his chest.

"I thought celestial mages don't lie?"

"Grrrrr! Fine you stupid big dumb Thunder God! It was my first kiss!" Lucy brought her face out of hiding, her cheeks pink.

"Heheeee. Now I have a piece of your stupid secret heart. How does THAT feel?"

She looked away and mumbled some VERY unladylike words he was sure she didn't learn while living at her father's house.

He couldn't help it. Her angry face was just so damn cute. He bent down and captured her lips. Lucy let out the smallest moan of surprise. Laxus was slow this time, this was going to be her second kiss he knew now. He had stolen her first one, and it had been rough and full of want and hunger.

This time. Only this one time, he would give her the one he knew she had wanted. What every girl's first kiss should be. She kissed her slowly. He kissed her gently. Over and over and over again. He rubbed his lips against hers softly, taking his hand away from the wall he brought it up to her face, gently holding her by her jaw angling her face up to him.

He licked her bottom lip lightly, tracing it with tip of his tongue. She parted those sweet lips of hers just the barest bit and sucked on the tip of his tongue for just a moment, before inviting him in. One hand still clutching at his shoulder, the other came up and tangled in his hair at the back of his head. She was letting out tiny little moans and mewling sounds as he kissed her. She was so damn responsive to everything he did.

She started arching up her body against his, grinding her hips into him.

FUCK! Lucy Im trying to do the right thing here!

Lucy unfortunately didn't hear his silent mental reprimands and continues to move her soft curves against him. She pulled her face away from him then nipped at his jaw.

"Laxus…"

It was a whisper. It was low and breathless, and it made him loose control. His hands moved to her waist and ass and he picked her up and pinned her against the wall. Her legs wrapped around him automatically as he ground against her.

"Fuck Lucy" Laxus panted

He lowered his head to her neck and started biting and nipping at the exposed skin.

She gasped and moaned while writhing against him. One hand on her ass, holding her up, the other he took from her waist and brought up to cup her chest. He squeezed and palmed it roughly before violently pulling her shirt down. He hitched her up higher against the wall bring her chest to eye level. He thrust his face into her chest and licked and sucked on every bare part of skin he could reach.

He wanted more.

He pulled down one the cups of her bra that was holding her breast, and pinched and flicked at her hard nipple. Lucy arched her back and gasped at the contact. Her hands tangled in his hair, she pulled him in tighter to her chest, wanting more. Laxus grinned.

"Do you like that?"

Lucy just moaned.

"I've wanted to do this since I first laid eyes on you. "

Lucy was panting heavily now, she looked at Laxus in surprise, her cheeks stained red. Laxus dipped his face back down and took the dusty pink nipple into his mouth tonguing it softly.

"Ahhhh! Ah yes!"

Her moans and plee's had him rock hard by now. He nipped on the hard nub on his mouth, biting down on it just the barest bit.

"Oh god! Laxus!" She was writhing uncontrollably against him now.

Laxus brought her down from the wall then. Holding her at arm's length, his head just now registering his own heavy panting and need for air.

Fuck Fuck Fuck! It was just supposed to be a stupid sweet kiss. I cant fuck her drunk. FUCK!

His dick was rock hard and arguing that yes in fact he could. In fact he fucking better! Lexus growled to himself. Before he could think much more about it he grabbed the drunk, hot, willing blond in front of him by the wrist and dragged her along at a break neck pace.

She tried to say something, several times in fact. But having to keep up with him, she was soon out of breath and unable to get anything out. Good! Last thing he needed right then. They made it in record time to her apartment. He pushed her at the door forcefully.

"Keys!" He barked.

Lucy jumped then and fumbled for her keys, after trying to stick one of her golden keys into the lock a few times she finally got the right key and managed to open the door. She stepped inside and looked back at Laxus expectantly.

Fuck don't look at me like that…

"Lax, are you coming in?"

"NO! You go in, I go home." He sounded like a fucking cave man! I can't believe this slip of a girl has me wound up like this!

Lucy leaned against the edge of her door, again looking up at Laxus with those too big chocolate eyes of hers.

"Kay."

Laxus glared down at her. Kay? Fucking Kay!? With a sigh, he brought his hands up to his head and rubbed at his hair furiously before bring his arms back down and crossing them over his chest. He knew his hair was a mess but just couldn't care less at the moment. This chick had him pound up way to tight.

"One last thing brat"

Lucy arched one of her golden eyebrows at him.

"What did you whisper to that pink haired freak back in the guild?"

The smallest sexiest of smiles graced her lips for just a moment. She pulled herself up on her tip toes and leaned toward me. Her breast brushed against my arm, and I bent down so she could reach my ear. Then, with the most seductive, pleading, voice he had ever heard she whispered 4 words.

"I feel so hot"

It was a statement, it was a question, she was pleading with him, she was begging him. With just those 4 fucking words Laxus was rock hard again. He wretched himself back from her, not even meeting her eyes. He couldn't, he would be done if he met her eyes. She would own him.

Laxus stuffed his hands into his pockets and walked home.

Tada! Lol Ok I know you guys wanted more. But I like leading into it kay? Way more fun that way!
