'Thoughts'

Italics – will be used for emphasizing words, flashbacks and Bickslow's babies repeating him.

Thank you to all those who have followed and favorited so far :) Same with the story More Than A One Time Thing? And the person who reviewed Aya2019. I neglected to do so in the newest chapter to that one.


Chapter 6

Laxus and Lucy walk down the stairs to go to the main area of the inn. "I'm surprised you managed to keep your hands to yourself, well for the most part," Lucy says with a little smile.

Laxus stops them to turn to her and back her up against the wall, "I'm finally able to call you mine." Laxus kisses her on the lips, "and now we have to spend time apart for who knows how long."

Lucy cups his cheek and looks deeply into his eyes, "I know how you feel. I'll be home before you know it." Lucy kisses him and then leads him back down the stairs. They walk down the hall and when they turn the corner to walk into the main area they hear a bunch of whoops and hollers. Laxus is thankful that Lucy can't hear some people *cough* Macao and Wakaba *cough* say more lewd perverted things than the others. They both can clearly hear Cana.

"Ooo What do we have here? I bet you two had a good time."

Laxus barks out, "shut the fuck up."

Lucy blushes a deep red, "We just cuddled and talked."

"Cuddled, riiight…" Wakaba says with his cigar hanging from his mouth.

"I didn't know Bossman was a cuddle bug," Bixlow says with his tongue hanging out. Cuddle bug cuddle bug so cuddly.

"Oi! I am not cuddly." Laxus zaps Bixlow and sends a warning shot between Macao and Wakaba to prove his point.

Lucy pulls away from Laxus, "I need to go talk to Cana. I'll be back." Lucy leans up and gives Laxus a kiss on the cheek.

While Lucy walks over to Cana, she hears Laxus threatening the others that if they so much whisper anything about her they'll get shocked to hell. She shakes her head with a smile. I can tell only I will be seeing a different side to Laxus. Lucy reaches Cana, grabs her hand, and drags her outside.

"Whoa Lucy, what's up?"

"I need to talk to you." When Lucy feels she's far enough away from prying dragon ears she slows down to a stop and turns to Cana. "Sooo… you weren't exactly wrong about having a good time."

"Oh, really Lucy? Tell me."

"Well… W-we umm.."

"Whoa, Lucy! You go, girl! You finally lost your v-card!"

Lucy slaps a hand over Cana's mouth, "shhh… not so loud. We didn't have sex."

"Well then what did you two do?" Cana says when Lucy removes her hand.

"Other things that I don't want to go into detail right now. I just wanted to ask you something."

"Shoot."

"Uhh well, is it too fast to be um, how did Laxus put it? Exploring each other's bodies? I mean we haven't been together for twenty-four hours and we still did what we did and sure we've both been pining over the other and not doing anything abou-"

"Slow down Lucy. Relax. To answer your question, no I don't think it's too fast. It's not like you two are strangers. As you said, you've both been pining over the other for a while. I would say the same thing even if you two did have sex. That's just me though. Others may say otherwise." She sees Lucy look down kicking rocks. She puts her hands on either side of Lucy's face and lifts it up so she can look into her eyes. "Lucy, don't worry about what others say, okay? It's no one's business anyhow and should anyone say anything big sister Cana will take care of them."

Lucy laughs, "Okay, your right. This is all new to me."

"I know sweetie and I'm always here. Just go with what your heart tells you okay. So how was what you did?"

"Better than I expected. He was sweet too and told me that he would stop whenever I want to and he wouldn't be upset."

"Awww who knew Laxus could be caring. But then again it is you."

"What do you mean by that?" Lucy asks, not mad.

"Well, only a fool would pass up an opportunity with you."

"I dated a bunch of fools then."

"Nah, they were just assholes."

"It's well known Laxus can be an asshole." Lucy deadpans.

"Yes, but should he be an asshole towards you then he'll have a bunch of people after him if you don't Lucy kick his head off first. But they would have to beat your spirits to it if you don't. He won't be though. You're quite the catch and he's a lucky guy. Plus, the way he looked at you last night. It's the same way Bixy looks at me when we're alone."

They start walking back to the inn. "Awww. How are you and Bickslow doing anyways?"

"Really good, better than good. We just don't know how to tell my old man. I am very fond of Bickslow's equipment. I am so glad I can confide in you though. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't."

"Of course, you can, I'm your best friend!"

They stop at the doors and before they walk in Cana gives Lucy a hug, "Lucy you are honestly more like the sister I never had. I am so thankful to have you in my life. I love you."

Lucy squeezes Cana, "I love you too big sis." They smile at each other and turn towards the doors. They walk into a crying Makarov about the damage done to the inn and the bill they have to pay.

Lucy goes over to Makarov, "don't worry Master. I got this." Lucy then Summons Taurus and Virgo.

"Miss Lucy, it's nice to see your rocking body." A growl is heard in the background.

"Punishment time Princess?"

"No, no punishment Virgo. We need your guy's help fixing everything."

"Of course, Princess."

"Anything for yooou and that hot bod of yours."

Glass shattering is heard, and Lucy looks over to see Laxus sitting with his team, shattered beer mug in hand. Lucy rolls her eyes. It annoys me too, but he's just going to have to get used to it.

"Laki! Levy! Can you come here?"

"Hey, Lu-chan what is it you need?"

"If it's not a problem I was thinking we could work together to put this place back in order."

"Okay, we'll help," Laki says.

"Laki could you provide the wood to fix the tables, benches, walls, and floorboards?"

"Sure thing." Laki gets to work getting all of the measurements correct.

"Virgo, can you provide nails?"

"Of course, Princess." Virgo goes back into the spirit world and in a second she poofs back with two buckets of nails.

"Levy, can you use your solid script for hammers? If not I can ask Virgo and your job will be to make sure Gajeel doesn't eat the nails."

Levy laughs, "I can't make the hammers, but I can keep Gajeel away from the nails."

Lucy smiles, "Good!" She turns to Virgo to see she already has hammers in hand.

"Did I get the hammers fast enough princess? If not you can take one and hit me with it."

"What the hell Virgo! No!" Lucy sighs and turns to Taurus. "Can you help with hauling the wood?"

"Right on it Miss Lucy."

Lucy then changes into Taurus's star dress and hauls a bunch of boards on her shoulder. "Alright, guys! Get nails and a hammer from Virgo and help fix up the place."

Everyone groans and Levy smacks Gajeel when he goes to stick the nails in his mouth. "What the hell woman?"

Laxus can't help but be very turned on when he sees Lucy in an outfit consisting of a bra and sleeves with a cow pattern and pants that leave her right leg entirely revealed. She also dons a pair of gloves and boots. Taurus's symbol is on her belt buckle. A white whip on the side ends in a heart-shaped cracker. Her hair is up in two buns. Hauling so many boards, she has to be carrying twice her weight. He's too caught up in ogling that he doesn't hear Lucy calling for him. Freed eventually coughs.

"Huh? What?"

"Well, are you going to help or not?" Lucy asks him.

"I didn't make this mess."

"Neither did I. It's a guild effort."

They have a stare-down.

"Fine, c'mon guys." Laxus and the Thunder Legion get up to help.

Two hours and 6 brawls later everything is finally done.

"Lucy, you are a godsend!" Makarov exclaims.

"It wasn't just me, everyone else helped too."

"Yes, but you were a woman with a plan and save us a lot of jewels."

"Well, unfortunately, I can't do anything about the broken glass, or the amount of alcohol consumed."

Makarov's jaw drops, face pale.

Laxus puts his arms around Lucy and whispers, "you can wrangle me anytime."

Lucy smacks him, "watch what you say. Wendy can still hear you." They both turn to look at her to see Wendy's face as red as Erza's hair. Thankfully Gajeel isn't paying attention, in a conversation with Levy and Pantherlily. She looks over and sees Natsu and gray beginning to brawl. She drops her star dress to avoid damage to the inn and snaps her normal whip at them.

"Hey! What was that for?" Natsu shouts.

"What the hell?" Gray yells.

"Knock it off both of you! We just fixed the place up."

"I never thought that she whips them into shape, literally." Evergreen chuckles.

"Very manly!"


~Time Skip~

Team Natsu is at the docks to see everyone else of Fairy Tail off.

Laxus asks Lucy, "Do you happen to have a communication lacrima?"

"Yeah, Virgo is hanging onto our spare in the spirit world."

Laxus gives her his number. "Good. Don't hesitate to call or text if you have the opportunity to."

"What about the time difference?"

"Don't worry about it."

"But-"

Laxus cuts her off by kissing her. "I can be up whenever for you." Laxus whispers in her ear.

Lucy's face goes crimson. All of the dragon slayers react. Wendy is beat red. Gajeel "gihi's" because of Lucy's reaction. Natsu yells at Laxus that He doesn't want to be hearing that stuff.

Natsu's reaction causes Erza to react. "You better not be making Lucy uncomfortable."

Jellal puts a hand on her shoulder. "Calm down Erza, Lucy can handle it."

"You're right, I'm sorry. Old habits die hard."

Laxus says to Lucy, "but seriously, you can get a hold of me anytime."

"You can get a hold of me anytime too, my darling Gray!" Juvia hugs him and he pats her on the head.

"I will Juvia," Gray tells her with a smile on his face. Everybody is surprised by his new attitude towards her.

Lucy rubs Levy's belly. Gajeel tells Lucy to back off jokingly because it's Lucy. Anyone else wouldn't get off so easy. Pantherlily says something about Gajeel already being overprotective. One last brawl at the docks. Makarov knocks them out before they destroy their only way home. Plue pops out of his own gate (little guy is getting strong!) to say goodbye to everyone. He plays with Bickslow's babies. Levy uses Solid Script: Lollipop for Plue. Lis gives Natsu a kiss on the lips and Elfman says something like his sister being manly. Ever hits him with her fan. And Happy is flying around all the couples "You loooooove each other."

Everyone on the ship waves to team Natsu as they set off. Once they're out of sight Laxus turns to Mira. "Get some good pictures?"

Mira says in a sing-songy voice, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"You're not as sneaky as you think Mira. And how did you shut Happy up about what happened outside? I heard and smelled him doing your dirty work."

"I forgot about your dragon senses. Don't worry about what I bribed him with."

"I just want to know how to convince that flying fucker to keep his mouth shut." …. "Hey Mira?"

"Yeah Laxus?"

"If those pictures happen to make it into Sorcerer weekly with an article about The Thunder God and The Celestial Goddess now dating well…."

Evergreen looks at him shocked, "you actually want to be in Sorcerer Weekly?"

Mira jumps up and down excitedly. "He wants the world to know of his love for her and her love for him!"

Laxus glares at her, "I want the world to know she's taken and to not even think about fucking flirting with her."

Mira coos, "The babies will be so cute!"

Gramps pouts, "It's too bad only boys are born into the Dreyar family line. The world could use more Lucy's and less Laxus's."

Laxus tells them all to stop.

Levy keeps the conversation going ignoring Laxus, "there's still a possibility of a girl being born."

Gramps turns his attention to her. "Levy a girl hasn't been born in the Dreyar line for over 200 years."

"And a boy hasn't been born in the Heartfilia line for over 400 years."

Gramps's face lights up, "so there's a chance for me to have a great-granddaughter?"

Mira shouts "Maybe they'll have twins! A boy and a girl!"

Laxus cuts in again, "enough about kids. It's way too soon."

Freed nods his head, "Laxus hasn't even properly courted Lucy yet."

Evergreen smiles, "Well he has time to start planning dates."

Freed talks highly of Lucy and tells Laxus he's happy he found someone worthy of him. She's a lucky woman. Laxus can't help but say he's the luckier one. Freed scolds him, and tells him he's loyal, brave, protective, and caring. Evergreen and Mira tell him they're equally lucky how they're perfect for each other. Bickslow and Gramps agree with Laxus.

They receive a whatever from Laxus and he finds a comfortable place to relax because he won't be able to move once Wendy's Troia Spell wears off.


I'm outta luck, outta love

Got a photograph, picture of

Passion killer, you're too much

You're the only one I wanna touch


Lucy calls Laxus and on the 5th ring Laxus answers.

"Lucy?"

"Laxus, hi. Did I wake you?"

"Yeah." Laxus yawns.

"Sorry about that."

"It's no problem."

"What time is it for you? It's almost 5 pm here."

"Hang on." Laxus looks at the clock on his nightstand, "Almost 6."

"So, I woke you from a nap?"

"A.M."

Lucy laughs, "wow that's quite the time difference."

"Give me a moment to piss and then brew up some coffee."

"Not a problem." Lucy does something to keep herself busy."

"Alright, I'm back. How has everything been going?"

"Difficult. Everything has been so crazy we don't get much time to rest."

"Then why don't you lay down?"

"I wanted to call you and we'll be having dinner in a little bit." Lucy winces when she adjusts herself.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"The look on your face said otherwise."

"I got beat up pretty bad, but Wendy fixed me up. I'm just still slightly sore."

Laxus growls.

"Laxus, I'm a mage. It's a given I'm going to get hurt."

"Doesn't mean I have to like it."

She reminds him how tough she is. Kain Hikaru and Master Hades on Tenrou Island. GMG battles. Tartaros. The war.


I see your face every time I dream

On every page, every magazine

So wild and free,

So far from me

You're all I want, my fantasy


Lucy tells Laxus how she saved Loke. "The look on both their faces when I called the Spirit King Stache face was priceless."

Laxus's laugh booms through the lacrima. "Only you have the balls to yell at royalty. How'd you get your other spirits?"

"I got Aries, Gemini, and Scorpio from my battle with Angel. I had help though. Hibiki downloaded Urano Metria into my brain."

"There's nothing wrong with that. You were just starting out as a mage and with that being said, that's pretty impressive."

"Thanks. The last spirit I obtained was Capricorn."

"I remember him. Well, vaguely. He helped battle Hades."

"Yup," Lucy tells him what happened to Capricorn and how he came to be a part of Grimoire Heart.

"Well damn."


Look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown

Look what you've done


Lucy tells Laxus they were sent to the past through a book called memory days. They were sent to that specific point in time because Natsu wondering how he got the scar on his neck.


Photograph

I don't want your photograph

I don't need your photograph

All I've got is a photograph

But it's not enough


"So how did a pretty little princess get into classic rock?"

"It was through my music teacher Mr. Lattery. He was a connoisseur of music. His favorite being classic rock. My father didn't know though."

"He didn't?"

"No, Mr. Lattery would have been fired if my father knew I wasn't only learning classical music. It made me feel like a rebel."

"You were so badass."

"Hey! We would have been in a lot of trouble had father found out. Which is crazy since one of my mom's favorite bands was Queen."

"Really?"

"I know, crazy right? Their song is even by Queen."

"Oh yeah? Which one?"

"'I was born to love you.'" Lucy smiles, "along with 'You're My Best Friend.'"

"That's really cool. Do you know any Queen songs on piano?"

"Yes."

"Well, which ones?"

"Where would be the fun in telling you that when I could play it and you have to guess what it is."

"First the guild will have to invest in a piano. Then we can play guess that tune."

"Sounds fun! But can the guild afford to get one?"

"Yes because of Freed. He has been a godsend."

"It helps that Team Natsu is on another continent. So why am I the one doing all the talking?"

"I'm more of a listener than a talker."

"I can tell."

"I also happen to like hearing you tell your stories. I do have to talk to you about something."


I'd be your lover, if you were there

Put your hurt on me, if you dare

Such a woman, you got style

You make every man feel like a child


"Why am I suddenly so weary?"

"I may have given Mira permission to write an article about us."

"You had Mira do it!"

"Well had I done it, it would have just said Stay The Fuck Away From Lucy She's Mine."

"Well, you have me there, but Mira? I can only imagine what kind of flowery stuff she wrote."

"It's actually not that bad. Here, have a look." Laxus holds it up for her.

Lucy scans the article. "How'd she get pictures while we were outside?"

"Happy."

"She probably bribed him with a tuna."

"Is that how you get that mangy cat to keep his mouth shut?"

Happy flies in, "I'm an exceed."

Natsu is right behind happy, "yeah, get it right."

Laxus rolls his eyes, "whatever."

Lucy turns to them, "what are you two doing in here?"

"Dinner is ready although you could probably go without," Happy snickers

Laxus growls, "what the fuck did you just say?"

Happy and Natsu run away.

Lucy looks back at Laxus, "don't worry about it, it's just how he is."

Freed pops into view, "how who is? Hello Miss Lucy."

Laxus growls, "Happy implying Lucy's fat. Wait, Freed what the hell are you doing here?"

Erza walks in to just turn around and yell, "He what!"

Wendy and Carla are the next to walk in.

Wendy waves, "Hi Laxus!"

Carla gives Laxus a little smile, "Hello."

Laxus is about to greet them back until gray walks into the tent, "Oi! Gray!"

Gray answers nonchalantly, "Yeah?"

The girls turn around and scream

Laxus tells him, "go find your clothes and put them the fuck on."

Gray looks down, "shit where did my clothes go." He walks out of the tent to find his clothes and they hear Erza yell at him

Bickslow is next to make an appearance, "that is gray for you." for you for you

Laxus turns his head, "Bickslow?"

Erza walks back in, "the boys are taken care of."

Evergreen is now there too, "really, how do you deal with that?"

Wendy giggles, "it's never a dull moment."

Lucy laughs, "well this is fun. It looks as though you have the same problem I do Laxus."

Laxus looks at her curiously, "what's that?"

Lucy replies, "friends breaking into your home."

Laxus pinches the bridge of his nose, "I don't even know how they got in"

Freed states "I made us all keys."

Erza nods her head, "good thinking Freed. I will have to do the same with Lucy's."

Lucy yells at her, "wait! No, you won't!"

Erza raises an eyebrow at her, "it will stop Gray from coming through the chimney and Natsu and Happy through the window."

Laxus glares at Erza, "and how do you get in?"

Erza smiles, "well, we got to get going before Natsu eats all the food. Good to see you Laxus."

"You too. Later everyone."

Everyone says their goodbyes. Happy and Natsu make it back into the tent to say their goodbyes.

Lucy and Laxus wait until their teammates are gone before they say theirs.

Lucy laughs, "I'm surprised you were nice."

"Well, they may be my teammates but they're your friends too. I hope to talk to you soon."

"Me too. I love you." Blows kiss

"I love you too"


You got some kinda hold on me

You're all wrapped up in mystery

So wild and free

So far from me

You're all I want, my fantasy


A/N: I got lazy when it came to the parts of Lucy telling Laxus about everything she's gone through since she's become a mage.

I'm actually not happy with this chapter. I lost my oomph on it and I'm just ready to move on and get a move on to the rest of the story. It became more of a filler chapter I guess? I don't know and don't mind me, I tend to ramble. And no worries, no more lacrima conversations. We're time-skipping to when they make it home from their mission.
