I know your soul is not tainted

Even though you've been told so

I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart

I can see through the scars inside you

The third day begins with the Pandemonium event. We all gathered at the Domas Flau early in the morning. Nobody knew about my new relationship yet, and I was pretty nervous. I wanted to tell Evergreen first, but she'd still been asleep when we got back. So, the three of us had decided to wait and tell everyone together. I got to spend a little bit of time this morning with the two men before Laxus and I had to part ways with Bickslow. I stayed close to Laxus as we made our way to our sitting area with the rest of our team. It was hard being near him and not giving away anything.

I briefly glance over at him as the announcers began talking and can't help but smile. He winks discreetly back when he sees me looking at him and I giggle, turning away. I was just so happy I couldn't hide it. I realized I didn't hear the usual excited squealing when Laxus and I interacted, so I looked around. It was then that I noticed Cana had once again joined our box, and that Mira was gone. I asked Cana about it, and the card mage informed me that Mira had decided to sit out, not wanting to join in on any more fights. Cana had been eager to compete, and she volunteered for the beginning game Pandemonium. Of course, not without some bickering from Gajeel first. Eventually he gave in, and Cana went to join the other volunteers.

They line the competitors up in the field and a dark purple magic circle appears overhead. An enormous upside-down building emerges, and Mato begins to explain to everyone the rules of the event. They draw straws to see what order they'll go in. Cana draws one with the number 8, and Erza ends up as the first one up. She immediately declares that she will challenge all 100 monsters.

Her declaration shocks everyone, except for those of us who knew just how much of a monster Erza herself was. I grinned, and we all watched, both amazed and amused, as Erza defeated every last beast. I was so glad to see their trip to the Celestial Spirit World hadn't put her behind at all. Her battle honestly felt as though it helped changed the tide of the games. Hope dared to blossom brightly in my chest that we truly would win the games this year. After that amazing feat, how could we not?

Since there was no monsters left for the others, the curators had to resort to something else. They decided to use the Magic Power Finder machine to decide who would place behind her. It was based on the amount of magic power everyone held, and I hoped Cana would score well. I knew she was a strong card mage, but wasn't sure how her magic compared to powerhouses like Jura and Orga.

She's the last one to go up and we watch, tense with anticipation. To our surprise, her arm begins to glow a warm yellow color and she breaks the machine as she shouts the spell "Fairy Glitter". I recognize the name from all the stories I'd heard about what happened at Tenrou Island. It was a spell Mavis had let her use.

We all look over at the small woman who sat next to Makarov, looking far too self-satisfied. I couldn't help laughing, along with everyone else. Mavis was determined to see us win this year, and was doing as much as she could to help. Fairy Tail ends up winning first and second for the first part of the day, and they let us all take a break before the battles begin. Cana comes running back to our area and I hug her excitedly.

"That was awesome!" I say as we pull away from each other.

"Nice job, I guess." Gajeel grumbles, feeling a bit less upset about not getting to go up than he had been earlier. He wouldn't have gotten to do any fighting, so he wasn't missing out on much.

"Thanks, but I couldn't have done it without Mavis." Cana grins "She's saved my ass twice now by letting me use that spell."

Our team stands around and talks for a bit longer before the announcers tell us all about the first match. I'm not too interested in any of them, and simply watch quietly for the first two matches, Mermaid Heel vs Quatro Puppy(That name still makes me giggle, I'm so glad Elfman won that fight) and after that it's Sabertooth vs Blue Pegasus. Before I know it, Laxus's name is called for the third fight. He's put against Alexei from Raven Tail, and I feel my stomach drop.

"Why would they do that?" I frown, clenching my fist against my chest as I glance at Laxus. His expression is serious as he stares across the arena at his father's team.

"Those fuckers better not try anything." Gajeel growls.

"This is Laxus we're talking about!" Cana laughs "He'll do fine."

Laxus silently leaves the box to go down to the arena, and I quickly follow. He says nothing as I fall in step beside him. His face shows almost no emotion, and meanwhile my heart is pounding wildly. I was afraid of what they would do to him. If the way they treated everyone else was cruel, surely they'd be planning worse for Laxus.

We enter the tunnel leading to the field, and I frown as he stops. He doesn't even look my way as he stares fiercely at the entrance to the arena. I watch his back for a moment, tempted to reach out and comfort him. However, my hand drops as I suddenly feel as though I'm intruding. Laxus probably didn't want me distracting him while he prepared for his fight. Why did I even follow him all this way? If he wanted me here he would've said something by now...

Feeling foolish, I square my shoulders and turn to leave. I glance back for a moment and softly wish him good luck.

"Don't worry so much (Y/n)." He mumbles, and I stop to look at him in surprise. He looks back at me and smirks as he continues, "I told you we'd win, didn't I? I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that happens, so relax. Trust me."

My eyes go wide at his abrupt declaration. His grin makes my heart skip a beat and I catch my breath. "Laxus…"

"Go on back." Laxus said, turning back towards the arena "I'm gonna take care of this once and for all."

He continues walking, and I stare at his back for a moment, completely speechless.

After a moment I begin to head back to the the viewing box. I notice Cana eyeing me as I return, but ignore her gaze. The fight was about to begin and I didn't want to miss a single second. The two mages face off in the center and I lean against the wall, watching intently. The crowd is going wild and I bite my lip anxiously. Anything could happen at this point. Warren informs us through his telepathy that they've set up lookout teams. He and Makarov communicate with them through the telepathic connection and I sigh in relief when I hear everyone's keeping a close eye on the match. Mira and Lisanna joined the Thunder Legion to watch Raven Tail, while Bisca kept her scopes out on Ivan. If they did try anything shady, we'd definitely see it.

With that, the fight began. The two competitors walk towards each other, and Alexie quickly strikes Laxus when he gets close. I shout in a mixture of shock and rage as everyone gasps. Laxus was completely caught off guard and doesn't even have the chance to retaliate. The cloaked figure continues attacking Laxus and I feel myself getting frustrated. This was totally unlike Laxus! It couldn't be possible that someone could get that many hits on him. Laxus was way too fast for that.

"There's no way." I mutter, gritting my teeth. I watch closely for any signs of foul play and can't see any. I feel tears come to my eyes as I watch the blonde man getting beaten, and I desperately shout "Laxus, come on! You're better than this!"

Suddenly, he begins to fight back, pummeling Alexei. Lightning sparks off his body and I frown. It didn't feel anything like his magic usually did. Everyone shouts excitedly at the change of events, but I continue watching the fight closely. Something was wrong. Laxus was using his lightning as he punched the Raven Tail mage, but I couldn't feel his magic power changing the way it usually did. I had studied him often when he fought, so I knew something was different. It seemed nobody else noticed however.

"What the fuck." I curse softly as Laxus uses a large lightning attack that didn't seem to affect Alexei at all. The Raven Tail member quickly retaliates, repeatedly attacking a defenseless Laxus. After awhile it seems like all is lost. Laxus lies on the ground after being hit hard, but suddenly I feel the charge of Laxus's actual lightning. It's completely out of sync with the fight and I realize Raven Tail must be tampering with the match somehow. I look at their team and at Ivan but don't see any changes. In fact, they haven't moved a muscle. "They're completely still…"

I lean over the railing, loudly shouting in hopes that the man I had finally accepted my feelings for could hear me "Laxus!"

I hold out my thumb and forefinger out in our guild symbol, and at the same time I hear Gramps shout. I look and see that he's doing it too. He must have realized something was up as well. Makarov looks over at me, grinning widely. I wink at him and laugh. Of course that old man would be able to figure out that something was happening down there. This was his grandson after all, he knew Laxus better than anyone. We all watch intently as the two men continue to fight until suddenly, I feel an incredibly surge in magic power and the scene on the battlefield changes.

The whole arena gasps in shock as Laxus stands in a fighting stance with the entire Raven Tail guild lying beaten around him. I see that his father has been punched into the wall, unconscious. That bastard must have put up an illusion spell or something so he could have his entire team attack Laxus. I wasn't sure why he would do something so terrible to his own son. Then again, knowing everything else he's done, it wasn't surprising.

The guards move quickly after everyone realizes what had happened. Raven Tail is arrested and kicked out, and Laxus walks calmly out of the stadium. His father says something to him as he leaves, but I can't hear what they're saying. I run out of the box to greet the man who was now my boyfriend. There was no telling how he felt after that fight and if he'd even want to see me, but I was worried. Eventually I find Laxus in one of the tunnels, leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. I stop, suddenly feeling nervous. He doesn't move as I watch him, but I know he is aware of my presence.

"You don't have to act so nervous with me." Laxus mumbles, not moving. I walk closer to him, frowning.

"I just wasn't sure if you'd want me bothering you after what happened..."

"Didn't I tell you not to worry so much?" He chuckles, opening his scarred eye to look at me "You're never a bother (Y/n). And hey, I won. You should be excited."

I walk the rest of the way up to him and bury my face in his chest. All the tension leaves me at once and I feel relieved. He wraps his arms around me and I'm enveloped in his coat "I can't help but worry. Are you okay? What did they do?"

He brushes hair from my face and I look up at him. "My father wanted some info on Gramps and our guild. When I told them I didn't know, they were expecting to beat it out of me. Unfortunately for them, I had you guys there to spur me on. I had to get revenge for my family."

I smile softly at him and he kisses me gently. We pull quickly when we hear the Thunder Legion come running down the hall. They all look excited and Bickslow gives Laxus a bear hug when he reaches us first. The other two join in on the dog pile and I giggle as I see Laxus reluctantly hug them back.

"You guys didn't really think I was gonna loose did you?" He asks as they part, crossing his arms and grinning at the three mages.

"I never doubted you for one second Laxus!" Freed shouts fervently. The other two roll their eyes at their team's leader.

"I can't believe those bastards would try something like that." Evergreen growls "We ought to give them a second beating."

"Relax, I'm sure they'll be regretting their actions for a long ass time." Bickslow says, throwing his arm around Laxus like he often did to me. The sight makes me grin happily. The dragon slayer doesn't push him away like he usually does and Evergreen and Freed gape at them in shock.

"Okay what the hell is up with you two?" Evergreen asks, putting her hands on her hips "You guys have been acting weird around each other ever since that night at the club."

I decide that now would be the best time to tell these two about our relationship, since we were finally all together. I clear my throat and smile when everyone directs their attention at me "That's actually something I wanted to talk about. Sis, you know how I told you about my dilemma?"

She nods, raising one eyebrow expectantly "You mean about liking those two idiots?"

I nod and look at Freed "I'm sorry we've kept this from you, but when you guys first came back, I started falling for Bickslow. And then I found myself experiencing feelings again for Laxus as well…"

Freed nods "Although I was unaware of your own feelings, I knew all about those two being interested in you."

I glance over at my boyfriends. Bickslow shrugs "I didn't exactly hide it."

I look to Laxus who is... blushing? He coughs, looking away with a frown "I may have confided in Freed about how I felt…"

"I am Laxus's best friend after all, (Y/n)." Freed grins "Of course he would tell me everything."

"So what, they're being nice to each other because you guys are in a love triangle?" Evergreen asks, looking for an explanation.

"Not really." I say, taking a deep breath to prepare for the next part "They're being nice because we've decided to be in a three-way relationship… We agreed to it last night and wanted to tell you guys first before we told the guild."

It goes silent as Freed and Ever stare at me and the two men. I bite my lip nervously, waiting for their response.

"(Y/n), is that really what you want?" The woman I consider my sister asks me slowly, and my heart drops. If she didn't approve, I doubted anyone else would be okay with it too. "I mean, that just doesn't really seem practical."

I frown "Why wouldn't I want this? I told you how I felt about them both, and that I didn't want to hurt anyone by choosing. This way, we're all happy. Bickslow and Laxus really care for each other, as well as me."

"Wait, so are you two gay or something?" She asks suddenly, looking at the two men.

"No." Laxus shrugs "Not really."

"I would have known if Laxus was gay." Freed says.

Bickslow laughs, sticking his tongue out "Right, let me explain. What we're trying to say is that the three of us are in polyamorous relationship that revolves around (Y/n). Laxus and I won't specifically be doing things without her, but when we're all together we do whatever we enjoy. Whether those things are gay or not is irrelevant."

Laxus and I nod and Evergreen simply stares silently at us.

"Well, if this is what makes you guys happy then I'm willing to accept it." Freed says, and I'm somewhat surprised that he's so calm about it. I had expected him to be upset "You three deserve to find love after everything you've been through."

His words bring tears to my eyes and I hug him "Thank you Freed."

He hugs me back and glares at Bickslow "If you hurt her you're in trouble."

The seith mage pales "Why me and not Laxus too?!"

"Because Laxus is a perfect gentleman and would never break a woman's heart." Freed sighs with a large smile on his face.

I giggle, and look up to see Laxus staring off into the distance, looking lost in thought. He notices me staring and puts his arms around my shoulder, hugging me to his side. I lean into him and see the way everyone is watching our interaction. It makes me feel a bit self conscious, but not enough to pull away. I wanted to be close to my boyfriend, especially after what he just had to deal with.

After a moment, Evergreen sighs "Well, I guess if anyone is gonna be with my little sister, I'm glad it's you two."

"You know I'm technically older than you now, right?" I tease and she rolls hers eyes playfully.

"Ah shut it." She laughs, and we all stand around and talk for a while before people start filling the empty hall, everyone leaving the arena for the day.

The Thunder Legion goes back to their guard duty at the infirmary and Laxus walks me back to the Honeybone Inn. We decide not to tell everyone about our relationship until Bickslow was there too, so we keep to ourselves as we hang out with our guild. Eventually Laxus leaves to talk to Gramps and I'm left to mingle with my nakama. I go sit with Gajeel, Levy and Wendy. Levy is immersed in a book while Gajeel munches away on some iron. I start talking to the young sky dragon slayer for a while until Natsu knocks into our table, sending it flying.

"Natsu!" I pout as Wendy and I fall to the ground. He had been using a barrel of alcohol to surf across the room and lost control when he careened into our table. I shake my head in exasperation.

The iron dragon slayer grabs the younger boy and yells at him as Levy helps us stand up. "You could have hurt someone, flame-brain!"

"Ha ha, sorry about that guys!" He grins sheepishly, stepping back as Gajeel lets him go.

Gray comes up to Natsu and pushes him over before jumping up onto the barrels Natsu was using. He begins surfing towards the other side of the room, laughing loudly. Natsu stands up, shooting fire out of his mouth and yelling "You're gonna pay for that ice-dick!"

I roll my eyes and laugh at the two rivals as they start fighting when Natsu tackles Gray off the board. Soon, a bunch of people join in on the beer-barrel surfing. Cana complains loudly about how they're abusing the alcohol and quickly snatches up the barrels. I'm amazed that she has the strength to carry around the heavy containers. Then again, she was always chugging straight from the barrel.

The surfing haven been interrupted, the guild went back to talking and drinking merrily. I sat back down with Levy and some of the other girls joined us. It was so nice to have some time to talk with all of them. I hadn't had much time to catch up with everyone after they returned. Between training and the games, we'd all been busy. It was a bit odd knowing I was older than most of the girls now. We start talking about how beautiful Crocus is, and Levy mentions that there's a nearby water park that is indoors.

"That sounds like so much fun!" Lucy squeals.

"It's a great summer park that's super popular here!" Levy informs us. "I was thinking we could all go. Since it's indoors, they stay open pretty late."

Gray and Natsu, having overheard the conversation, shout excitedly that they would like to go too. Before I know it, the entire guild has decided to join and we all change into our swim suits. Thankfully, I came prepared for anything. You never knew when you'd need to wear a swimsuit for the competition. I put on a black two piece bikini that had little (f/c) clouds on it, and I slip on some flip flops before heading downstairs. I walk out of the inn and join Cana, who is standing there in her bra and underwear. We walk together to the water park and I giggle at all the strange looks she's getting.

"I wish I'd brought my swim suit." She pouts.

"You could have borrowed one from me ya know." I giggle, looking at her surprisingly girly undergarments. "I always pack extra."

"Eh, it's not like this is much different anyway." She shrugs, pulling out a flask from her cleavage. I gape at her, wondering where she has room for those things.

We finally reach the water park and it's still busy despite being late at night. The place is huge and there are tons of different water slides and pools. Everyone runs off in different directions, excited to explore the park. I follow Cana as she heads straight to the bar and orders us both a tall fruity drink.

"So, I couldn't help noticing that you seemed pretty concerned about Laxus this morning, (Y/n)." Cana says, leaning against the bar with her drink as she grins at me slyly "What's all that about?"

I can't help but grin, looking down at my glass and blushing when I start thinking about Laxus "Well, can you blame me? He was going up against his shitty father's team. There's no telling what could have happened."

"It was more than that." She insists, leaning closer to me "C'mon girl, you can't hide anything from me."

"Well..." I stir my drink before drinking half of it, and with a happy sigh I tell her "We're actually in a relationship. But we haven't really told anyone because of timing and, well… it's not exactly normal."

"Normal how?" She asks.

"We're in a polyamorous relationship with Bicks…" I mutter quietly.

"Wow, I could see Bickslow doing that, but I never thought you'd be into that and definitely not Laxus, too!" She laughs "How's that working?"

"Well, first of all you have to promise me you won't tell anyone." She nods and I continue "I really like them both." I begin, smiling when I think about my boyfriends "They're both so incredible, and I couldn't imagine my life without either of them. They agreed to this relationship because it's what will make us all happy. Bickslow and Laxus get along well, being as close as they are. And apparently they have a bit of history together, so that makes things easier. It's just the beginning and it's gonna take work, but I couldn't be happier."

She watches me, smiling softly. Her earlier teasing is gone as she responds "I'm glad. I heard all about what you did for the guild while we were gone. You deserve to find someone to spoil you, and what better than two sexy men!"

I giggle, noticing once again that similar phrase. That I 'deserved to find happiness' or whatever. I wasn't sure if that was entirely true after everything was said and done, but it was nice to experience after all this time. Cana and I continue to sit and drink for a bit before we decide to go get in the water. The two of us grab inner tubes and lay in them while we float along in the pools. We let the water take us where it wants while we talk. The current takes us into a particularly noisy section where some people are shouting loudly.

"Wild!"

"FOUR!"

I cringe when I hear the call of the men from Quatro Puppy. Cana instantly lights up, and I giggle at her expression."Go get 'em girl!"

She gets out of her inner tube and swims over to the group of guys, instantly joining in. I decide to get out of the pool, and take my inner tube back to the shack where they kept them. As I leave, out of the corner of my eye I notice Evergreen sneaking behind a rock. White spikey hair peeks out at the top of the rock, and I giggle when I realize she's sneaking around with Elfman. She tries so hard to hide her affection for the Strauss brother, but nothing was secret for long around here. As I walk away, I wonder if the rest of the Thunder Legion was here too. It'd be nice to spend time with Bickslow. I've barely gotten to see him since he had to take up guard duty at the infirmary.

"(Y/n)! Come join the party!"

I'm lost in my thoughts when I hear a feminine voice calling me, and look over to see Mavis splashing around with a grumpy looking Makarov and Laxus sitting on the edge of the pool. The lightning slayer looks up when he hears Mavis call my name and I walk over to them. I suddenly feel shy when I see Laxus checking me out, and I hope nobody notices my blush.

"What brings you guys here?" I ask when I finally reach the group.

"Master Mavis was upset, so we brought her here to cheer her up." Gramps mumbles.

I laugh at their expressions, and turn to Mavis. "You look like you're having fun first master!"

"I sure am!" She says, smiling happily. Suddenly, she stops and stands up, frowning "Oh no, I almost forgot to warm up first! You all need to join me! We can't swim if we're not properly prepared."

The small woman gets out of the pool, grabbing my arm and encouraging me to stretch with her. Gramps reluctantly joins, following along as Mavis leads the warm up. Laxus rolls his eyes, looking away.

"I'm good."

"Do as she says Laxus!" Makarov yells, and I giggle when Laxus sighs loudly and stands up to follow our stretches unenthusiastically.

"Mind if we join?" I hear a voice call as I'm bent over, touching my toes. I look between my legs and see an upside down Bickslow and Freed. My boyfriend is wearing a pair of sexy blue swim trunks and has a pervy grin on his face, staring directly at my ass. I stand up with a blush, continuing to follow along as Mavis leads us in a different stretch. The two men join us, Bickslow standing extremely close to me. Laxus still looks miserable and we laugh at his expression.

Mavis finally decides she's fully prepared and goes back into the pool. Makarov walks back to his seat on the edge of the pool and sips from a large mug of ale while he keeps an eye on her. Freed sits next to him and I turn to look at my two boyfriends.

"I'm so glad you guys are here." I smile, resisting the urge to hug them. They're both wearing only swim trunks and I can't help admiring their strong chests and arms.

"I'm glad I get to see you in a bikini again." Bickslow grins, pulling me towards him. I blush and look around, hoping nobody sees the public display of affection.

"We still haven't told the guild about us." I mutter as I pull back. "We probably shouldn't be all over each other here."

"But you're my girlfriend and I want to hold you." Bickslow pouts. "How about we go somewhere secluded and spend some time together?"

We agree, and we walk together to a quiet sitting area that's blocked off from the rest of the crowds. There's nobody here and I'm glad to find a private place. As soon as the three of us stop walking, Bickslow pulls me in for a kiss and I eagerly respond.

"Have some control ya pervert." Laxus grunts.

"You can't deny that you're fighting not to pounce on her too." The seith mage counters as he pulls away, and I yelp when he smacks my ass.

"Stop it Bicks." I pout, feeling teased. It was hard for me to resist pouncing the two, having them half naked in front of me.

"You do look good enough to eat." Laxus says as he pulls me against his chest, and the way he grins has me shuddering. I see the sharp point of his canines and wonder how they'd feel scraping against my skin.

"Does dirty talk turn you on (Y/n)?" Bickslow asks quietly, sidling up behind me and pressing his groin against my ass. "You're getting all red."

I blush, looking away from the two men that I was now sandwiched between "Shut up. You two are sexy and it's been awhile."

"I can fix that right now if you'd like." Bickslow says, and I bite my lip at his suggestive expression.

"Yeah, as if that's gonna happen here, with all these other people nearby. Cool it Bicks." Laxus frowns, still holding me. The seith mage chuckles, scratching the back of his head.

"True. Sorry, I wasn't trying to be pushy." He says sheepishly as he moves back.

"It's okay. I really just want to enjoy your guys' company right now." I say as I run my hands along Laxus's tattooed chest. "And maybe get some more kisses."

Laxus grins, leaning down to place his warm lips against mine. I melt into him as he grips my hips tightly. It's the most skin to skin contact I've had with the dragon slayer and I found myself wishing for more. Bickslow moves back against me, sliding his hands around to play with the band of my swim bottoms. He runs his large tongue against my neck and I moan into Laxus's mouth.

My head is spinning and I pull away to catch my breath. Bickslow's soft lips replace Laxus's as he kissing me hungrily, his tongue moving to slide against mine. The two men kissed in totally different ways, but both were so equally amazing. The lightning mage grips my ass as he bites and kisses my neck and chest. I run my hands over his nipples and he growls, biting me harder. Bickslow slowly slides his hands further into my bottoms, his long fingers rubbing against my skin. So much for just kissing.

I'm lost in bliss when loud shouting suddenly breaks us out of the spell. We all quickly pull away, my boyfriends both trying to tuck their arousal's away while I cross my legs, feeling liquid heat pooling between them. "I think we got carried away."

They nod, sighing when the shouting gets further away. I suggest we head back, and Bickslow kisses me one last time before we leave the secluded spot. We eventually make it back to where Freed, Mavis and Gramps are. They hardly notice our arrival and I'm grateful they won't be interrogating us on where we went. The shouting gets louder and we all look around to find the source of the disturbance. I deadpan when I see Natsu flying through the air and into Gray and Lyon, knocking the two ice mages onto the huge love slide that was the main attraction of the water park. The two ice mages grip each other tightly as they fly down the slide, and Juvia starts shouting about boy love.

"We should go too Laxy!" Bickslow cackles, sticking out his tongue.

The older man punches him in the arm and I giggle. Suddenly, the giant heart Natsu crashed into breaks away, sliding down and around the ride. We watch in horror as many of our guild mates are taken along on the ride all over the building.

"Wait, is that Ever?" Laxus says, pointing to the slide "and Elfman?"

I giggle as I see the terrified look on their faces. Evergreen quickly turns Elfman to stone, and I notice there are multiple other groups on the ride. "That is one huge slide!"

Suddenly, Gray and Lyon start fighting and the room grows cold. They activate their ice magic and the entire water park gets frozen over. I shiver, and we see Natsu suddenly stand up with his hand covered in flames. He shouts angrily, smashing the ice full force and the explosion sends everything flying. Bickslow grabs me and covers me from the blast, and the smoke clears to show total destruction. I'm smooshed beneath Bickslow, feeling disorientated. He slowly sits up and pulls me with him, as Laxus angrily walks away to confront the culprits.

"You okay baby?" Bickslow asks, brushing some dirt off my cheek. I nod and look around slowly. Everyone slowly stands up, recovering from the blast. The water park has completely crumbled around us.

"This is why we can't have nice things." I sigh as we both stand up.

The police show up, and eventually they go talk to Gramps, letting him know just how much damage there was.

"This is gonna cost so much!" He cries.

Gray and Natsu try to sneak away, and Laxus quickly punches their heads to knock them down. He picks them up by the scruff of their necks and grumbles "There's no running from this you two."

"We're sorry…" They groan, large bumps forming on their heads.

With that, we all start gathering up to leave.

"Well that was fun while it lasted." I comment as we start to walk back to the inn. Laxus stayed behind to help Gramps dish out a punishment for the two idiots responsible, so it was just me and the Thunder Legion.

"Yeah it was." Evergreen smiles, a distant look in her eyes.

"Ever got to spend lots of quality time with her beau!" Bickslow cackles, his babies shouting "Beau, beau" loudly.

"Please, don't pretend like you and Laxus didn't sneak off with (Y/n)." Freed says, a sly grin on his usually stoic face.

I blush when Ever gapes at us. She smacks the seith mage "Don't you two start tainting my little sister you hear me!"

"I was tainted long ago big sis." I giggle. She glares playfully at me and Bickslow slips his hand into mine. I look at him questioningly and he shrugs.

"I waited long enough for this, just let me enjoy it." He smiles and I squeeze his hand in response.

We finally reach the inn and everybody goes straight to bed. It had been such a long day, and I was excited for the fourth day of the Grand Magic Games. With Raven Tail gone we no longer had to worry about people targeting us illegally and could focus on doing our best. We might get to tell the guild about our relationship too. I was so nervous, but excited to tell everyone.

A/N: The Thunder Legion approves of the relationship! And Cana knows now too. She's one of my favorite guild members, so she's become one of Reader's best friends. I hope you all liked this chapter! I love writing interactions with the guild, it's so fun. Sorry about the delay, got a lot of shit going on in my life right now. And I started another story! It's a BickslowxOC story in a modern AU. Once I have enough chapters written I'll start posting that too.

See you next week! :D
