Hey my dear readers! I am soooooo sorry it has been so long! I meant to post the next chapter last week but a lot of stuff happened because of karate camp and I was busy doing paperwork and stuff... But yeah the next chapter is here!
Oh and thank you to everyone who fav/followed or reviewed! You make me happy :)
Laxus burst through the doors of the guild with a large grin on his face. It was already back to normal after the brawl. His grin didn't fade. Blondie probably wouldn't expect him to find her this soon.
His head turned towards the path of the scent which lead his eyes to the counter where Mira was standing. Mira just smiled and waved at him innocently like she knew nothing. Her smile lighting up her face.
The dragon slayer sniffed the air again looking for the blondes scent.
Laxus's noise twitched and he furrowed his brow in confusion. The blondie's scent seamed to be coming from where Mira stood. But that was defiantly Mira, he could smell her scent to.
A thought popped into Laxus's head and his confusion faded into a slightly perverted smirk. He quickly strode over to the counter and took a seat directly in front of Mira, the smirk not fading from his face.
"Do you need something Laxus?" she asked with her usual smile plastered onto her face. It was a wonder how she could keep that smile even when flying chairs flew past her head in near collision. Or when they did hit, yet her smile didn't fade.
Hmm...
"Hmmm I think I'll have a strawberry milkshake today ," he just calmly answered to Mira, trying his best to hide his thoughts and emotion from her prying questioning mind. But it was hard to hide the smirk when Mira spun around to get what he asked and he could feel Lucy flinch from under the bar counter on the other side.
As soon as Mira was completely gone he jumped over the bar and with one arm slumped over the top of counter, and came down face to face with a blushing blondie, his ever so apparent grin plastered on his face
"Found you blondie" he said his face inches away from hers.
Lucy squeaked then tried to scoot back, but was stopped by the wall also known as the counter. She was slightly uncomfortable with Laxus's face so close to hers.
Lucy could hear her own heartbeat and was sure that with his dragon slayer enhanced senses he could to.
His smirk grew wider. "Gonna answer blondie?" he said with a raised eyebrow. Just to see her reaction he got just slightly closer to the squirming celestial Mage before him.
"H-h-hey! Back away!" she stammered then she tried to push his body away from hers. She could feel her face flaming.
Laxus barely budged at the blondes feeble attempt to gain some space. But deciding to be nice he backed away just a little bit to giver her some room. "So what did you do with my milkshake?" he asked.
Lucy's face went from uncomfortable to 'awh no you didn't ' in a mere second "um your milkshake?" she asked with a raised eyebrow. Her eyes questioning the dragon slayer before her.
Laxus just grinned back then quickly jumped back over the counter to sit back in his seat. His elbow was prepping up his head on the table.
Lucy stood up to face him "yeah my milkshake," he answered her with a calm expression. However the expression soon faded back into the smirk because he just couldn't hold it back. It was so much fun to mess with the celestial Mage! She was easy to embarrass but when provoked the wrong way, she had this kinda spunky, feisty side.
Lucy's face became slightly annoyed and she leaned forward with a questioning frown on her face. It was her milkshake to begin with and he had no right to take it from her!
"Hey! How would you feel if I took something of yours then just called it mine!" she said with a first raised, Laxus just laughed back at the blondie before him.
Lucy lowered her arm as a thought popped into her head. A demonic grin appered on her face and Laxus instantly stopped laughing.
"Oi, blondie! Don't do that face... It's actually kinda scary," he said starting to become worryed. He knew just how smart she really was and with that expression on her face she must have come up with something truly evil. Plus it was similar to Mira's evil grin.
Lucy's grin just grew and she jumped over the counter and sat in the chair next to Laxus "Naw I don't feel like it!" she chirped as she spun on her chair the evil expression not fading.
Mira stood behind a corner holding Laxus's order in her hand with a matchmakers grin on her face. Then she swiftly brought on her normal smile and waked up to Laxus "Ok here is your shake!" she said then walked off to tend to other people.
Lucy stopped spinning and looked towards Laxus "See, now that you have your own, you don't have to take mine!" she said. But she was still going to follow through with her evil plan she thought of.
Laxus just looked back at her "where did your shake go?"
His question was soon answered when Virgo appeared and was holding Lucy's shake in hand. "I see you two are done with hide and go seek?" she asked Lucy.
Lucy and Laxus blinked "um hide and seek?" Laxus asked with a puzzled expression. Well in the end that really was what is was... But why did Virgo know about that?
"Were you watching us?" Laxus asked.
Virgo nodded to him which made him feel a little disturbed. Well at least they weren't watching him when he was looking around her room... Oh god were they?! And would they tell her! Oh shit he knew he shouldn't have tried to open that one drawer!
As Laxus was in his own little world where he was in panic mode Virgo passed Lucy her shake. "Thank you Virgo!" Lucy said with a smile on her face. She truly loved how nice her spirits were, and was glad to be friends with them.
"No problem Princess," Virgo said with a bow and then quickly disappeared back to the spirit realm.
Lucy turned back to Laxus while taking a sip of her shake to see him in a small freak out. About what she had no idea. But it did seam as though he realized something. Or maybe he just remembered something disturbing.
Laxus shook his head then looked back toward the celestial Mage. "your spirits watch you?" he asked her with his eyebrows scrunched.
Lucy got a confused look on his face "yeah so? What's the problem? They help me when I need it," she said obviously not realizing what Laxus truly said.
He just looked a her with a 'think about it again' expression on his face.
Lucy just sat there in confusion thinking over what he asked for a second. Then her face shot red in a instant with a blush and her scrunched in annoyance "awh no! They wouldn't do that!" she said with a smack to Laxus's shoulder. It wasn't hard, but it was enough to get the point across.
"Hey with a spirit like Loke, it's hard to not think like that,"
Lucy paused for a second "I see your point," she deadpanned.
"Oh Lucy! Laxus!" Mira said in a singsong tone as she skipped over to them with a happy grin on her face. "I have something for you!" she said with a smile that made both Lucy and Laxus begin to worry.
"What is it?" Lucy begin to ask in a partially worried tone. But she knew the outcome of the question was not going to be good.
Laxus also sat there worried. He had heard that tone before. It was Mira's 'i got a plan and you are going to listen or die' tone. It was always best to listen. But her expression also said 'matchmaking time'.
The crinkling of paper caught both of their attention as Mira let a piece of paper unroll out so that the two could read it.
She tilted her head to the side with a smile on her face "I found the perfect quest for both of you!"
Both of their hearts dropped.
—
Lucy's head dropped as she walked down the road next to Laxus with the quest sheet clutched in her hands. The job was really vague, all it said was 'two blondes needed, one boy and one girl,' and ideas for whatever it was swarmed in her head like mosquitoes.
Although the pay wasn't that bad. Actually it was great! If they split in in half she had enough to pay her rent and buy food for this month! And the best part is she was with Laxus! That meant that over 90% of the reward wouldn't go to paying for damages... Probably.
However she was confused as to why he even agreed with going with her. Or why she agreed... Or even how the Thunder god tribe let him go!
Natsu pouted and latched onto her body and wouldn't let her go until Mira walked up with a super scary face.
Then he was gone in a flash.
Lucy just sighed and slumped her shoulders causing Laxus to look over at her. "Not getting second thoughts are we blondie?" he asked.
"I had second thoughts the second Mira said she had something for us," Lucy said in a blank voice back.
Laxus laughed at her comment "you arn't the only one blondie!" he replied.
"Hey! What's with calling me blondie so much blondie?" Lucy asked Laxus with a glint of annoyance in her eyes. To Laxus it was only useless, he found it kinda cute...errr like a kitten type cute! Yeah...he'll go with that. Besides it was extremely fun to get this kind of reaction from the celestial mage.
"It's just what I do... Blondie," he said getting closer toward her.
Lucy's eyes flared up and she stared back at Laxus. "Well fine! I guess we should continue to our quest place though... Sparky," she said with a smirk then sprinted off.
Laxus's eye twitched. Did she just seriously call him sparky? Then he quickly chased after her to catch up a hint of annoyance written in his expression. He was debating on weather or not to stop calling her blondie... Ok maybe not but now there was no questioning it.
This was war.
Laxus caught up to her an was about to say a comeback to the Mage when Lucy said "oh we are here!" in an excited tone.
Lucky blondie.
They both walked into the building which was starting to make Laxus suspicious of the quest. Cuz this looked an awful lot like a..
"Oh my my my! You must be the two mages from Fair-eeee tail that I requested!" a voice said. A middle aged lady walked up to Laxus and Lucy with her hands clasped together. She had a simple black dress and short wavy red hair and wore purple eyeshadow that stuck out like a fire hydrant to Laxus.
Lucy nodded "Yep! We are the mages requested!" she answered in a cheerful tone. All that hard work of Laxus trying to get her annoyed faded in mere seconds by her cheerful personality.
"Oh, yes yes yes! You two are exactly what I need!" the Lady said her hands still clasped together.
Lucy nodded "so, what exactly do you need us for?" she asked politely. The question she wanted answered finally coming out of her mouth. She didn't want to rush the question however.
"oh, yeah yeah yeah! I need you two to preform in my play tonight! My two major roles are both sick and need two people to fill in! And because this is a story about two blondie lovers I needed two blondie actors!" the lady answered.
Lucy and Laxus both paled. Two blondie lovers? Oh no. They looked at each other then back at the lady "um we will be right back, me and my partner just need to discuss something real quick," Laxus said to the lady.
"Oh of course course course!"she said then walked away.
Laxus turned to Lucy "eh, I'm getting second thoughts about this blondie," he said truthfully. Seriously second thoughts... third thoughts and fourth thoughts... All in all, he really did not want to do this.
Lucy nodded "so am I! But we are fairytail and since we are here we kinda have to do it! Plus I'm scared about what Mira would do if she found out," Lucy replied back to the lighting Mage.
Laxus sigh and his head dropped "damn it... Fine! We'll do the stupid play! But am not doing any kissing scenes!"
Gehee, epic foreshadowing muahahahahahahahahah!
