The First Sin

Summary: "It's what you want my dear Dragon." She paused as she sat down, only letting his hand go once he stood in front of her, "I can give it to you. Everything you ever wished for." She rested her hand on his bare stomach, his mind barely registering that his shirt was gone as she licked her lips, "And so, so much more." – Sent during the Guilds disbandment. LaLu and other couples.

Authors note: Hey everyone! First LaLu fic. I can't get the ship out of my head (I thoroughly ship NaLu!) so I thought I'd write it before I went crazy. There are OC's in my fic only to act as the instigators of the missions etc. Please let me know what you think!

Disclaimer: I in no way own Fairy Tail! I do however own my own characters.

Chapter 1: Drowning

There were only so many times someone could drink themselves into a stupor before their luck ran out. And he could feel it, somewhere underneath all the feelings of self-loathing and defeat, that this was where his luck dried up. Just like the alcohol that had vanished from the bottle in his hand.

Rain beat down on him, the storm above calling to his magic. But he was too tired to answer it. Too tired to care about how cold he was or how much his side ached or how his stomach rebelled to the sheer volume of drink he had taken in throughout the night.

He didn't even care that the mission was a failure.

Footsteps sounded through the alleyway, but he didn't bother to lift his head, allowing himself to press further into the chilled ground to try give whoever was walking room to walk by his large form.

A faint gasp reached his ears, and despite his dragon enhanced sight, the figure remained blurry. Only the distant light glinting off golden hair registered in his hazy brain.

"Laxus?" He felt like he was swimming. He swallowed loudly before correcting his thought. He wasn't swimming. He was drowning.

He didn't even register the fact that the rain no longer touched his skin before he passed out.

Elsewhere…

"See you later Lucy. Thanks for staying back."

"No worries." Lucy waved as she closed the door, frowning at the rain that hammered down on the capital. Now she knew why Virgo had demanded she bring her umbrella with her in the morning, "Well what a great way to start the weekend. Stay back late at work, start the weekend with rain."

She squeaked as a large thunderclap echoed overhead, but it didn't sound right. Too close. Too familiar, "I'm just thinking into it... I must be."

She turned and started in the direction of her home, but something pulled at her, told her to turn around. Her feet led her through the streets, ignoring the way the rain soaked her from the waist down.

The storm above was harsh and she tightened her jacket, trying her best to fight off the chill that seeped in. She hummed to herself as she walked, ignoring the way the streets emptied the further from home she went. It was only the sudden static in the air that made her pause and she turned, facing a dark alley. Despite the fear that gnawed at her, she took cautious steps, not trusting her assumptions completely.

The smell of damp rot assaulted her and she covered her nose, squinting into the shadows. And what she saw took her breath away.

Pressed against the slimy wall of the alley, his purple button down and dress pants soaked through with rain, was the grandson of Fairy Tails' Master.

Before her was a man she never thought she would see in the state he was in...

"Laxus?"
