Chapter 8
-One Week Later-
The Raijinshuu, Cris , Emi and Farron boarded the airship that would take them to Hargeon. Then they would grab a train back to Magnolia. They had decided to stay in Fiore for a couple weeks. To give them time to decide what they were going to take back to Bosco, what they wanted to keep at Laxus's house and what they would sell. Arman had found them a great realtor to sell Freed's and Bix's homes. Arman had helped Lucy and Ever get out of their lease early; he even paid the penalty for them.
Lucy was nervous about telling her friends that she was moving. She was hoping that Levy and Gajeel would be happy for her and support her decision. They would make plans to have them come to Bosco to visit and meet the rest of Bix's family. Cris already promised that they would visit a couple of times a year.
Over the last week, Lucy has healed a lot. She didn't tell anyone, but she forgave Natsu, Gray and Erza. She was hoping they would be at the guild so they could talk and hopefully keep their friendship. She realized that everyone handled what happened in their own way and couldn't hold it against them. Now she just had to get everyone else to realize it and stop threatening to beat them up.
They got back to Magnolia kind of late, they decided to grab some food and stay at Laxus's place for the night. Once they got to his place, he did call his gramps to let him know they made it back and would come to the guild tomorrow. Lucy called out Virgo, who brought everyone pjs and bathing suits.
"I'm going in the hot tub!" Lucy yelled. She quickly ran upstairs to her room and changed. She grabbed a towel and was downstairs and out to the hot tub before anyone else.
"Her and that damn hot tub." Laxus chuckled.
"I take it she uses it more than you?" Cris asked.
"He wouldn't have it if she hadn't begged him to get one." Bix cackled.
"Well, I'm going to change to join Lulu! It's big enough for all of us. She made sure he got the biggest one possible since Laxus and Bix are bigger guys." Everyone went to change and joined Lucy in the hot tub. Cris pulled her into his lap. She sighed and relaxed, leaning back against him. He nuzzled against her neck.
"Guys, there is something I want to talk to you all about." Lucy said.
"What is it, Lulu?"
"Over the last week, being around everyone, it's really helped me heal. I have forgiven team Natsu."
"How could you forgive them Cosplayer?"
"You guys know me, I'm a very forgiving person. The more I thought about it, everyone handled what happened to them during Tartaros differently. I can't hold it against them anymore. I don't want you guys to either. I know you all care about me. So, for me, please?" Everyone nodded and she smiled at them. They all relaxed in the hot tub for an hour before Lucy and Ever started falling asleep. Cris and Farron helped the girls out of the hot tub, dried them off, and took them to their rooms. Lucy decided that she wanted to sleep in Cris's shirt. She quickly grabbed it and underwear, went to the bathroom to do her nightly routine, then climbed into bed next to Cris.
"You know my shirt looks better on you than me." He said with a grin. She giggled and snuggled close to him.
Ever did the same, she grabbed Farron's shirt to wear as pajamas. After she finished her routine, she climbed into bed next to Farron. He groaned at how beautiful she looked in his shirt. He pulled her close, and they fell asleep.
Lucy made breakfast for everyone, and then they got ready to head to the guild. When they got to the guild, Lucy didn't see Natsu, Gray or Erza. She was sad that she didn't see them. They headed up to Makarov's office. Cana and Mira were staring at Lucy and Ever holding hands with two very sexy men. They would have to get information from them once they came back from master's office.
"Who are they?" Cana asked.
"I'm not sure, but we will find out once they come back down." She said with a gleam in her eyes that made people back away from the bar.
Laxus knocked on the door waiting for the okay to come in. "Hello everyone, it's great to see you all!"
"Farron and Cris, it's nice to officially met two of Bickslow's brothers. I've heard great things about both of you. I'm also glad that you have made Lucy and Evergreen happy. You better take care of them! I still consider them my children."
"Gramps, this is my mate to be, Emi."
"It's wonderful to meet you my dear! I'm happy for you both."
"It's nice to meet you to Makarov."
"It's nice to meet you Master Makarov. I will take care of Lucy, I promise." Cris said. Farron greeted Makarov and made the same promise about Ever. Emi even promised to take care of Laxus, and make him happy.
"Gramps, any word on team Natsu?"
"Still nothing. Which is probably best for now. I don't want them to be bombarding Lucy while you guys are busy with moving."
"Master, will you contact me when they return. I want to talk with them, and hopefully be able to keep our friendship even though we have moved to Bosco." Lucy said.
"Of course, child." They talked for a couple minutes about what their plans were, then went to sit at their table. As soon as they sat Mira and Cana were there pulling Lucy and Ever away before Cris and Farron could pull them onto their laps. They blinked and looked at Bix who was cackling.
"Mira and Cana pulled them away to get info on you two and why you were holding hands. They will also ask about Emi." Bix said.
"Should I go down there to answer questions?" Emi asked.
"Nah, Mira will probably come back up for you soon." Laxus said.
"Okay, I'll wait here for them to get me."
"Just know that you'll probably come back feeling exhausted. I know Lucy and Ever will."
"Mira is bad by herself, add in Cana and it can get crazy." Freed said.
"Should we go help the girls?"
"Nah, they'll be fine bro."
"Okay you girls need to tell us who those hunks are and why you were holding hands! And who was walking by Laxus!"
"Those are Bix's brothers Cris and Farron. Cris is my promised and mate-to-be. The one walking by Laxus is his mate to be, Emi. She is Bix's sister."
"I'll be right back." Cana grinned. A couple seconds later she came back with Emi.
"When are you going to mate with him?" Mira asked.
"Not sure, we talked about after we have moved. Truthfully, I want too soon."
"Ooo! The babies will be adorable!"
"Mira, it's way too soon for baby talk!"
"Hello, my name is Mira. Cana is the one who asked you to come over here with us. Not sure if she introduced herself yet."
"It's nice to meet all of you."
"Farron is my promised." The three of them held up their hands showing the rings. The girls squealed and congratulated them.
"So, Emi are you and Laxus together?"
"Yes, we are promised and we will become mates."
"You and Laxus will make beautiful babies." Mira said with heart eyes. Emi just looked at Lucy and Ever.
"Mira, is baby crazy." They said at the same time. After a few more questions, they went back up to their table. Lucy plopped onto Cris's lap leaning against him. Ever did the same with Farron. Emi sat on Laxus's lap.
"You okay love?" Cris asked.
"Yeah, I forgot how tiring Mira and Cana could be when they want information."
"You okay Ever?"
"Yeah, I'm glad that Mira doesn't have a grudge with me since I'm with someone else now." Farron nodded and wrapped his arms around her.
"How are you doing babe?"
"I never knew getting asked questions could be so tiring." Emi said and Laxus chuckled.
Levy and Gajeel came up to hang out and talk with everyone. Lucy gave them both hugs.
"Lucy, I have some big news to tell you!" Levy said.
"What is it? Tell me, tell me!"
"Makarov talked to me; he wants me to become guild master since all of you are moving. I told him I would! Also, I'm pregnant!"
"That is amazing! Oh, my Mavis! How far along are you?"
"Only a couple months. Would you come visit when it's time for the baby?"
"Of course, Levy. I think of you as a sister, I wouldn't miss it for the world."
"I think of you as a sister too. I'm so happy that you found love Lucy." Lucy smiled and looked at Cris who leaned down and kissed her.
"I'm the luckiest guy alive, having this beautiful woman as my mate-to-be and promised." Lucy blushed and leaned against Cris. They all talked and had lunch together.
After lunch they left to go meet with the realtor who will help put Bix's and Freed's house on the market. The realtor said that both houses should sell quickly. They talked about when they would like to get them put on the market. They decided to put them up for sale in three weeks. Lucy, Cris, Ever and Farron went to their place to start going through their things to decide what they wanted to keep and what to get rid of.
They decided that they would start in their rooms first. Lucy went through her clothes and shoes first. She kept a couple outfits, but wanted to get more Boscan clothing, she liked it better and found it more comfortable. Cris was helping by packing up her books. He teased her about some of the books she had. He browsed through Den of Vipers, reading some of the spicy parts. He lifted an eyebrow and grinned at Lucy.
"Why are you looking at me like that? What book do you have?"
He showed her the book, and she blushed. "You like to read some kinky stuff. So, what is one of your favorite spicy scenes in the book?"
"The scene with Diesel. Minus the knife." He grinned.
"So, would you like me to tie you up, and pleasure you?" He walked up to her and she nodded biting her lip. He purred and kissed her.
"Cris, when would you want to take me as a mate?"
"I'd like to wait until you're all moved in, and more comfortable in Bosco and the guild. I'd also like to take you out on a couple more dates. We've only been able to go on the one so far. I also want to make sure you're completely ready for mating."
"Sounds good to me. I am ready but it will be nice to wait until I'm comfortable and settled." He smiled and went back to packing her books. Once that was done, she called Virgo to hold the boxes in the Spirit Realm.
"Ever, are you done with your room? Virgo said she can take your boxes if you are."
"Yep, I'm done Lulu. Thank you, Virgo!"
"It's a pleasure to help my Princess and her friends. If you'd like, make a pile of what isn't going, and I can drop it off at the guild."
With the four of them working together, they were able to the living room and kitchen packed quickly. Once they finished, they contacted Bix and Freed to see how they were doing and if they needed help. They both had said they would love help. Ever and Farron went to help Freed, and Cris and Lucy went to help Bix. Once everyone was packed, Virgo put everyone's things in the Spirit Realm.
The next day they went to the guild to spend time with everyone and let them know that they were moving. Everyone was shocked, but was happy for them after hearing how they found their significant others. Fairy Tail put together a farewell party for them.
"Fairy Tail can put on a party." Lucy said
"Wait until you go to a White Sea party." Cris grinned.
"Yeah, White Sea can party." Emi said.
"I've missed White Sea's parties." Bix said. They had just finished dancing and were taking a break. Cris was trying to get a sip of Lucy's strawberry milkshake. He wanted to try it and see why she liked them so much. She finally let him try a sip. He said how he wouldn't mind one occasionally. After a couple hours of hanging out with everyone and dancing, they went back to Laxus's place.
Tomorrow morning, they would head back to Bosco, it was bittersweet leaving Fairy Tail and Magnolia but they were excited to start their lives in Bosco and for the adventures they would have together. Since they decided to go back to Bosco sooner, they promised Makarov to come back soon and visit. He understood that they wanted to get settled there and go through their rankings and go on a mission together.
