Im back! Okay I have no excuse i am lazy and have a lack of creative ideas. I dont know if i'll ever get this fic to the part i originally made it for but i will sure as hell try! So please read and review!
A couple of days after that awkward night Lyon currently sat with his guild mates and some of the Fairy Tail mages, having just been seen by Porlyusica about an hour ago. Lyon was trying to explain to Toby that no socks do not suddenly attack you in the middle of the night and why the hell would he think that anyway (Noting that Yuka had snorted under his breath gave him some suspicions) when he heard someone shout. "Oh that's it!"
Then the sound of crashing across the guild hall Lyon turned to see two figures crashing into a row of tables. Which caused people sitting at these tables to start punching one another for some reason or another. "Oh hell yes!" Natsu said immediately, jumping into the fray.
Lyon saw Lucy and Wendy, who was pulling Chelia and holding Charle slinking off to behind the bar as the fighting got more intense. "Enough you idiots!" Erza shouted…..only to get a chair smacked in her face.
Soon the sound of terrified screaming was in the mix. "You know I heard of their fights but I didn't realize it got this extreme this fast." Yuka noted an eyebrow raised most likely impressed at how fast the carnage happened. While their guild had an occasional fight here and there it rarely got to the full out chaos Fairy Tail seemed to have so often.
Lyon, who has seen a couple of these fights while visiting Fairy Tail, just sipped on his drink and said. "I'm surprised we haven't seen any while we were here honestly." Glancing at Gray who was in the fray….yet again only in his boxers. "They should learn to do something constructive with that pent up energy instead of destroying everything." He noted.
"As long as they don't drag me into it they can do whatever the hell they want." Yuka said, taking a bite of his sandwich, Toby making a hum of agreement. Unlike the girls (excluding Erza) who would hide from the destruction, the three Lamia Scale Mages would be able to defend themselves if some of the chaos headed their way.
Of course the universe always found a way to fuck with Lyon as two Dragon Slayers battled and Salamander sent a Fire Dragons Roar right towards Gajeel who dodged out of the way, a huge wave of fire heading towards the Lamia Scale Mages. Now Yuka had about to put his hands up to defend the table but unfortunately someone beat him to it.
Lyon held his hands up immediately making a shield by pure instinct…..only for it to shatter and Lyon to fall to his knees gasping the feeling of pain going through him especially his arm and his chest, his face going pale as he clutched his arm close to his chest.
"Lyon!" Yuka and Toby said running over to him and Gray saw from the other room and immediately charged over to Natsu punching him.
"Hey!" Natsu said only to freeze seeing the freezing anger in Gray's gaze.
"What the fuck did you do?!" Gray demanded.
"I wasn't aiming for them!...and.."
Gray grabbed him by the collar of his shirt looking ready to punch Natsu again only for Erza to push them apart. "Enough!" She said giving Natsu a look telling him to shut up before looking at Gray more calmly. "Go help Lyon, I'll get someone to get Porlyusica." She instructed.
Gray sent a glare at Natsu before hurrying over to Lyon who was hunched over gasping for air. Gray knelt by him, putting a hand on his back lightly "Easy Lyon Porlyusica on her way." He said trying to be soothing.
Lyon barely seemed to react to him as he gasped and coughed some blood splattering on the ground which did not help the panic of the three around him. "Shit!" Yuka said.
"What do we do?!" Toby asked.
Chelia had run over and immediately wiped the blood from Lyon's mouth but fear was obvious in her gaze Wendy right behind her.
Gray didn't let himself show his fear knowing now wasn't the time, keeping a hand on Lyon's back, the other grabbing one of Lyon's hands, letting him clutch onto it. Gray immediately noticed the heightened temperature. Lyon kept gasping for air. Gray could tell how much pain Lyon was in as he felt like the circulation on his hand was being cut off from how tight Lyon was gripping it. He didn't know how long it was until the sound of the door slamming open and Porlyusica appearing. "I just got back home and now I'm back here dealing with these stupid humans!" She snapped storming by people hurrying out of her way.
Gray moved so Porylusica could see Lyon but kept his hand in Lyon's. Porlyusica knelt down and moved down Lyon's shirt collar to get a look at the spot the poison was most prominent. "Well the poison's reacting to the magic he used but it isn't as bad as it could be." She explained.
"As bad as….he's coughing up blood…ow!" Yuka said having gotten hit on the head by her.
"Yes I see that you dolt! Either way this will set him back another few weeks…" She said and pulled into her cloak pulling out a vial of some foul smelling medicine and put it to Lyon's lips. "Drink." She instructed.
Lyon opened his eyes slightly at the feeling of something against his lips and drank trying not to gag at the taste. When he finished Porlyusica knelt there and watched, after about 10 minutes Lyon's grip on Gray's hand loosened and he listed sideways breathing like he just ran a marathon. Toby gently puts an arm around him to keep him stable. "You see what happens when you use magic," Porlyusica scolded the silver haired ice mage.
"Noted…" Lyon said, still out of breath looking at the ground.
"Take him back to your place and have him rest. He should be fine in a few days. The medicine I gave him has a strong sleeping agent so you might want to get him back before he passes out…..now excuse me as I need to teach a few certain morons a lesson." She said her gaze on Natsu who gulped in fear.
Toby and Gray, who had found his clothes, helped Lyon to his feet, who leaned heavily against them tired partially from the potion but partially because of all the pain he just went through. Toby helped him lean against Gray who led him out of the guild Lyon trying to give a reassuring wave to his guild mates. After they were out of sight Lyon let his head droop, gritting his teeth in frustration. How pathetic was he? A simple shield spell and he felt like he was dying in pain. By the time he was allowed to use magic again it would take him weeks to get back in shape magically.
He was definitely losing some strength physically too, he had noticed last time he saw himself topless in the mirror that he was losing some muscle mass. Something that he had worked hard to gain with his naturally slim frame, he would try working out but he still got exhausted too easily and the old woman told him not to strain himself god knows what would happen if he disobeyed her. "God I suck." He would later blame the potion for actually saying this out loud.
"Yes you do but why are you only realizing this now?" Gray asked and Lyon smacked him on the head Gray smirking.
"Shut up asshole." Lyon said, his voice slurring slightly.
"Honestly i'm kind of surprised you didn't use magic sooner it would drive me insane." Gray said.
"When Chelia first lost her magic the first few weeks we avoided using magic around her when we could."
"But that's only a few hours or days at a time, not weeks." Gray retorted.
"True but pouting about it around Chelia when this is temporary while Chelia didn't think she'd ever get her magic back is a dick move." Lyon stated.
"Fair enough." Gray said shifting his arm to support Lyon's weight more when he felt Lyon slumping to the side more.
By the time they made it back to Gray's apartment Lyon was ready to collapse in the doorway barely able to slip off his shoes and let Gray lead him to bed, he was pretty sure he fell asleep before his head hit the pillow.
…
Lyon woke up from a thankfully dreamless sleep the next morning, his head pounded and his shoulder ached and he was covered in sweat. He sat up on the bed with a groan looking at the clock, he literally had slept the rest of the day to the next morning.
He sighed, covering his hands over his face. He wanted to go home to his guild and not feel like a helpless mess. He hated looking weak, call it hubris but he wanted to look strong to both his guild mates and his younger pupil.
To be someone they could rely on, it was a role he took on multiple times, when he became the Cold Emperor, when he became an S class mage, when Jura left the guild. Being a strong reliable force, now he can't seem to go a freaking week without something wrong happening to him. With a sigh he stood up slowly so as to not make himself dizzy and headed out of the room surprised to see Gray up carrying a bag. "Mira dropped by with some food. She put it on Natsu's tab" Gray explained, setting the bag down on the counter.
Honestly food was the last thing he wanted at the moment so he said. "I'll have some later, I'm going to take a shower." He said.
"Just don't use all the shampoo on your hair." Gray retorted and Lyon did the mature response and stuck his tongue out before heading into the bathroom.
(Let me have my male fan service!)
After stripping down and entering the shower he tried to relax and tried to ignore the pain in his shoulder and the nausea going through him. However midway through the shower his stomach decided to turn against him as well and he was forced to run from the shower to the toilet vomiting violently. Honestly he was getting really freaking sick of throwing up so often, hopefully Gray didn't hear that. After emptying what remained in his stomach and spending minutes dry heaving after that he went back to finish his shower.
Drying off his hair and body and wrapping a towel around his waist since he forgot to grab a spare set of clothes he headed out. Of course Gray was waiting at the opposite wall worry in his gaze….so much for hoping Gray didn't hear anything. "You know its pretty bad if you cant go once a week without throwing up your scrawny enough as it is." Gray stated.
Lyon sadly didn't have anything to throw at Gray so he just shoved his shoulder. "Shut up." He muttered.
"Seriously though, maybe we should ask for some anti nausea potion or something you're really losing weight." Gray said.
The fact Gray had noticed that was not a good sign. Then again Lyon was standing there in only a towel so maybe he shouldn't be so surprised. "I haven't exactly been able to work out much either Gray. The old hag would rip my head off if I tried to lift a weight right now."
"Freaking murdering Natsu later." Gray muttered as Lyon headed back into his room to get dressed.
During getting his shirt on though he couldn't help but to hiss in pain when he raised his shoulder over his head crap he thought the pain was over with. After managing to get the shirt on he rubbed his shoulder waiting for the pain to dissuade when Gray knocked on his door. "I'm going to get some anti nausea potion from Porlyusica i'll be back."
"Good luck, see if she can make a potion for stupidity too! Oh wait she must have already tried that and given up since you're a terminal case." Lyon called back and smirked at hearing Gray say a few choice words before walking away.
Lyon chuckled before picking up a book he had been reading earlier and headed out to the living room to read. About 30 minutes into reading though his head started to pound and he groaned rubbing his temples futilely. Setting the book down he went to get some water however his vision swerved and he ended up falling to his knees on the carpet. He stared at the ground trying to regain his balance feeling anger and frustration rise within him as well as humiliation, he was a proud Lamia Scale mage and now he couldn't even fucking read a book without ending up collapsing?!
Punching his fist to the ground he got up this time ignoring the dizziness and decided he needed to get out. He didn't even think of leaving a note for Gray as he stormed out of the apartment. Ignoring the pounding head and aching shoulder he walked down the street hands in his pockets only picking the way that was opposite from the Fairy Tail guild hall unsure of where he was going and not caring.
He didn't know how long he had ended up walking around, long enough that he was breathing heavily and his body was begging for rest. Seeing a park nearby he headed that way collapsing on a nearby bench, his head in his hands. He didn't know how long he was like that until he felt a small tug on his shirt and he looked up to see a familiar face of the little girl of Fairy Tail….Asuka he thinks her name was.
He remembered seeing her a few times when he visited the guild in the past and he's seen her a bit while staying in Fairy Tail but he hadn't chatted with her much. "Are you okay?" She asked.
If anyone else had asked he may have snapped at them to leave him alone but she reminded him too much of Chelia when she was around that age. So instead he just said "Yeah just taking a breather." he explained.
"Your Gray-nii's big brother right?" Asuka said.
Anyone else he would have snapped no at but he just laughed and said "Kind of, we trained under the same master."
"Brothers," Asuka said firmly.
He was not in the mood to argue that so he just said "Yeah sure."
"I wanted to ask you for another animal figurine but Gray-nii said it wasn't a good time. That you were sick and couldn't use your magic.' She said.
"Yeah he's right about that sorry kiddo." He said ruffling her hair.
"Can you make me one when you're better? Gray-nii doesn't make them as good as you do." Asuka said.
Lyon couldn't help but to grin at that. "Of course I'll make you one when I feel better," he said then he realized something. "Are you out here alone?" He asked.
Asuka shook her head "No mama's over there with Erza-nee." She said pointing over to the two women, the red hair one who was looking at him with a stern look…of all the Fairy Tail members it had to be Titania
Maybe it might be a smart idea to run now…..he looked at Erza who was now walking calmly towards him a little bit too fast to be a normal walking gait. Nevermind that idea she might sever his tendons. When she arrived she said "I believe you were supposed to be at Gray's place resting."
The woman was 7 years younger than him. He should not be afraid! But he still couldn't meet her gaze as he looked to the side saying. "I went out for a walk, I thought i could use the fresh air."
"Without telling Gray." Erza said.
"He's not my babysitter." Lyon muttered, trying not to look like he was pouting.
"Even though you look pale and like you're 5 seconds away from collapsing?" Erza stated.
Was really hoping she wouldn't notice him not feeling well but that hope was in vain. He just remained silent as she said. "Well you have two options right now: either you come calmly with me back to Gray's place or i will pick you up and carry you there."
He really should have just ran when he had the chance but he sighed and stood up Erza grabbing his hand and gave Asuka and her mother ... .Bisca if Lyon remembered correctly a smile. "Sorry about this, apparently Lyon's as bad as Gray when it comes to his health."
Lyon greatly resented that but decided for his dignities sake to be quiet or she may really just carry him out of here. She waved them a goodbye with her free hand before starting to walk with Lyon though the grip on his hand was gentle he also was not stupid enough to try to pull free. Plus now he was really starting to feel ill again and really hoped he didn't end up throwing up on the sidewalk. Thankfully he wasn't as far from Gray's place as he thought though when they arrived a very irritated Gray Fullbuster was standing at the door.
I am so mean to Lyon I really am but there is a huge lack of Lyon being tormented fics out there! He's my favorite character. I need more of him, Mashima!
Okay so finally a new update, have no clue when the next one is sorry about that guys I seem to have the inability to finish these fics and i'm really sorry about that! But i do thank the readers i do have for this fic and will try to eventually finish this fic!
