Chapter 15. Caught

As Laxus and Lucy made it back to the guild Lucy stopped him outside the doors the beat of the music could barely be heard in the background.

"Um Laxus?" He looked at her as she let go of his hand "how do you... I mean do you want them too..." Lucy looked down "well... know?"

Smiling he grabbed her arm and pulled her close he then hooked his arm under her knees and lifted her up as he did he was able to loudly kick open the doors, he took a step inside before he stole another kiss from Lucy getting the attention of everyone in the guild. Laxus carried her over to a table he put her down before taking a seat but she didn't get away Laxus pulled her onto his lap. Lucy looked around still dazed and embarrassed at their entrance she noted that every single person was looking at them. She groaned and hid her face in Laxus's shirt. Laxus gave a slight laugh as hollers and whistles started to circle the guild. He could hardly hear Lucy's muffled voice

"why did you have to do that?" He tried to look down at her

"what can I say I enjoy an epic entrance"

"but they're all making a big deal about it!"

"Did you want me to go back out and do it your way?" Lucy gave him a punch in the shoulder

"Don't tease." Laxus held her tighter and kissed her hair while he whispered

"I just wanted to show you off let everyone here know your taken and that they would do well to keep their distance from now on. It was supposed to be a subtle hint." Lucy lifted her head to look at him whatever she was going to say was interrupted by a squeal and a...

"Lucy oh my god!" Lucy felt a small pair of arms around her neck. Levy had come to congratulate her.

"You work pretty fast I wondered where you had run off too." Levy smiled at her

"I was a little worried Gajeel said he saw that you were crying he was going to go kill Natsu he thought that idiot had done something to hurt you!" Lucy smiled.

"You were crying over me?" Laxus smirked

Lucy folded her arms

"Hey!" Levy pointed at him "your a lucky guy you should just shut up and be happy!" She smiled and laughed before leaving the two of them alone. Lucy looked at him,

"I thought I had lost my chance."

Laxus leaned into her and lowered his voice "don't ever cry unless I'm there to to dry the tears."

Lucy blushed and leaned her head against his shoulder. Across the hall Natsu could see Laxus and Lucy together. "They look good don't you think?" Grey leaned toward Natsu and spoke in a low tone.

"Looks better then you would Grey." Grey then gave a 'tch'

"Not like I wouldn't enjoy the chance but it seems she's into having a more serious relationship I'd end up making her cry in the end more than likely." He looked at Natsu

"How are you doing with it?" Natsu glared at him then lightened up.

"Good I think it's great she can be happy." He jumped up "I'd better go embarrass her some more!" Natsu walked over to them

"Luce I see you found him then, looks like everything's ok by the way he paraded you through the door!" Lucy went red again

"what took you so long anyway you got lost didn't cha?"

Lucy looked serious "Actually Natsu I was attacked by one of Kane's guild mates."

"What are you sure Luce?"

"Yea I had to go get her out of trouble and kick his pansy ass." Natsu looked at Laxus

"It's still eating me though either the guy was stupid or else he didn't want to direct any attention because he never used any magic." Lucy stood up off of his lap.

"Their out for revenge, they were after Fairy Tail from the beginning because we are the top guild but now it seems they may be after me first because of what was done with Kane."

"No way Luce we wont let them get to you!" she smiled at Natsu

"I know I just hope I can be of more use this time."

"I promise no one will ever kidnap you again." Laxus spoke up "because your never leaving my side."

He stood up and draped his arm around her shoulder he leaned in closer to her

"and one more thing." He looked straight at Natsu "no more midnight visits from you flame brain."

Natsu just gave a toothy grin "no promises"

Laxus narrowed his eyes "I'm serious."

"Wanna fight me over it!" Natsu stood with his fists on his hips

Laxus raised an eyebrow "actually I think I'd rather take Lucy home, it is late after all." He had a mischievous grin and then winked at Natsu before taking Lucy by the hand. Laxus left the guild laughing.

The two of them arrived at Lucy's house without any trouble. They both walked inside, Laxus leaned in her bedroom doorway as Lucy went to take a bath.

"I hope you don't mind but I'll be staying here for a bit."

"Why?"

"Until we fill gramps in about that guy coming for you and do something about it, I cant leave you alone."

"Laxus I'll be fine this is my apartment after all I'll be safe here."

Laxus shrugged and plopped himself on the couch that's where he was when she came out of the bathroom. She ran into her room to change.

"Don't look over here I'm changing, someone broke my damn door down."

Laxus smiled at the comment "you may think your safe but in the end I'm still staying."

"Fine but really whats going to get me here?"

She came out of her room and stood at the foot of the couch

"I'm going to bed now so do whatever you want." Lucy went back into the bedroom.

Eventually Laxus fell asleep as did Lucy, she slept peacefully until she began to have a nightmare. She was scared and panicked in her sleep Lucy was able to force herself awake and screamed out for Laxus. She was breathing heavy when he came to her side.

"What's wrong?" She looked up at him

"I was having nightmare would, would you stay here... with me a while?"

Laxus put his hand alongside her face

"of course" he leaned in close "anything for you... Miss Lucy!"

Lucy's eyes flew open as he kissed her.
