Chapter Sixteen

I don't own Fairy Tail!

Also, I have rewritten the earlier chapters plus I have added a chapter around 12 or 13 I think, but I am not positive about that. I have started the next chapter also and will hopefully have that finished soon. Thanks!

Lucy's POV

I grabbed a hold of Laxus's shirt when the shop owner started yelling at me again. All I wanted to do was hide myself in Laxus and run away. I know that with Laxus here I shouldn't be afraid but after the run in with this lady earlier and then Dirk, I'm a little frazzled. Laxus is growling and pulling really hard against me trying to get closer to the shop owner so I step up behind him and wrap my arms around him hiding my face in the middle of his back. Not really thinking about it I squeeze him a little and give him a kiss where my face was buried. After that I am able to feel him relaxing some, even though he is still growling.

"My girl, came in here earlier and she said that you were rude to her and that you kicked her and our friends out of the shop." Laxus growled at the lady who looks like she is about to have a heart attack. "Do you know who I am?"

The lady nods her head. Taking a step back. "Good. Get the celestial keys that you have." Laxus continued to growl at the lady, "NOW!" he yelled as she just stood there not moving.

She took off running towards that back of the store. "Laxus what is she calls the Rune Knights and they try to arrest you!" I ask him softly trying not to freak out, but in all reality, I was close to hyperventilating at the thought of him leaving me with Dirk.

Laxus turned around and pulled me into his arms and held me while I was calming down, "Its ok baby, I'm not going to jail. She's on her way back out here now and she never called anyone! I wouldn't do that to you, I just got you."

I looked up at him and leaned up and kissed him softly on the lips. "You've been taking such good care of me Laxus, I'm sorry I'm being clingy and shit, but I just got you too and I don't want any cranky old hag to take you from me now."

"I promise, baby, I'm not going anywhere you're not. Will you go out with me when the mission is over?" Laxus asked just as the old hag slammed the keys down on the counter.

"Be careful with those!" I yelled at her as I stepped up to the counter to see the keys that she has. She set Deneb the Swan and Caelum the Chisel. "How much for both of these?" I asked her again. She glared at me, "Like I told you before you little slut, more than you would ever have!"

I looked up just in time to see Laxus shoot a lightning bolt right by her head. It was close enough that it cut some of her hair out! "Watch what you say to her, you stupid bitch! How much are you wanting for these keys?" Laxus growls out as he steps up behind me, so I'm pinned between him and the counter. "And if you try to up sell these keys that bolt will become stronger and closer!"

I reached behind me and grabbed his hand and entwined our fingers together hoping that it will help to calm him down some. The hand that was resting on the counter came down to rest on my hip pulling me back into him as much as possible and just holding me there. "15,000J a key, that's how much I always charge." The lady stated. Is she serious! I had that much in my pocket! I reached my hand into my pocket and pulled out the 30,000J and laid it on the counter and picked up my new keys. "Come on Laxus. Lets go make some new friends!" I said just before I turned around in his arms and stood up on my tippy toes to kiss him. I was expecting it to just be like the others, just a quick peck but as soon as my lips touched his, he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into him and lifting me up so we are more level with each other.

I ran my tongue around his lips asking for entrance that was granted without a second thought and started exploring his mouth with my tongue battling him for dominance. It didn't last long before Laxus took control of the kiss and it turned passionate!

A throat clearing behind me reminded us that we were still in a public shop and that we are unwelcome here. Stupid old interrupting hag, I thought as I pulled away slightly and looked back at her. "Thank you for your purchase, now please leave my store!"

Laxus's POV

I looked down at Lucy after the hag interrupted us to see her blushing and hiding her face in my chest. I pulled her closer to me growling again at the old hag before turning around leading Lucy out of the shop. "Where do you want to go to make the contracts?" I asked as soon as we stepped outside seeing as, I have no idea what goes on in this type of thing.

She smiled up at me, "if we could find a quiet clearing or get back to the hotel room that would be good. Neither one of these ones are very big so we don't need a lot of room. Although, I find that the clearing is usually a better idea, then I don't have to pay for damages."

I wasn't worried about having to pay for damages because of her spirits, but I thought that going to a clearing might make it a little easier for her, plus it gives me the added bonus of spending more time with her without the rest of the team around. I led her back towards the Inn that we're staying at knowing that they have a field in the back away from the pool that would be perfect for her. As we were walking, I asked her, "is there anything that I need to do to make this easier for you? Or is there a certain place I need to stand so that I am not in the way?" I really want to stay by her side but if she needs more room then I will move.

"Nope, you can just stay right by me. Just don't block my right hand. That's the hand that I use to summon my spirits." She replied smiling up at me.

I smiled back at her. "You know you never did answer me earlier."

She tipped her head a little to the side and scrunched up her forehead trying to remember what I asked her earlier. It was super cute. "I'm sorry Laxus, I can't seem to remember what the question was." She finally said.

I laughed, "I asked if you would go out with me, but I guess that I'm not important enough for you to remember about." I said with a straight face starting to pull my arm back from around her waist as I looked down at her.

Lucy's POV

My eyes got huge as I remembered what he said in the magic shop. I was so busy with the lady slamming the keys down on the counter that I totally forgot about the hottest guy in the guild asking me out!

"Oh my God! I can't believe that I forgot that you asked me that! YES! I would love to go out with you Laxus!" I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him tightly to me. I didn't want to ever let him go.

Laxus wrapped his arm back around me and looked down, "you sure, baby?" I nodded my head and stood up on my tip toes to give him a kiss on the cheek. "I'm sure!" I started walking again, I don't remember us stopping but I could see a clearing just up ahead and wanted to hurry up to the clearing so I could make some new friends.

I wonder if Laxus will get any cool power with my new friends like Natsu does with Plue. Only one way to find out. "Come on, there is a clearing right over there. Did you know that Natsu could understand Plue? My little dog spirit?" I see him shake his head, but I wasn't sure if he was shaking his head no or just at my exuberance, oh well, if he wants to date me, he'll have to get used to it.

We walked into the clearing and no one was there so I continued to walk into the center of the clearing. I pulled out one of the keys and smiled. "I call upon thee, in the world of the Celestial Spirits; I beckon you to my side at once, pass through the gate. Open! Gate of the Swan! I open thee, Deneb!" There was a flash of bright yellow light and standing there was a tall handsome man with long dark black and purple hair. "Hi, Deneb! Would you like to make a contract with me?" I smiled at the spirit. "Of course, Princess. I'm available whenever you or Master Laxus needs me. I use Lightning Magic, so using me with Laxus will strengthen him as he can eat my lightning." Deneb replied as he bowed to me.

"That's great Deneb. Is there anything else I should know before you go back to the celestial realm?" I asked. Deneb shook his head no, "Ok, let me know if anything changes and you can go back now." Deneb disappeared in the same fashion that he appeared it, which was quick and flashy. "Crazy fucking spirits" I mumbled to myself as I turned to look at Laxus.

I smiled up at him as I walked closer until I was leaning against his chest, "so what did you think?" He looked down at me and said, "I think that its awesome that you have a spirit that uses my magic. I also think that I'm going to like being called Master, hehe." He laughed as I smacked him on his chest as I was leaning against it. "Don't be mean to my spirits, Laxus. They are humans too you know."

Laxus chuckles as he wraps his arms around me pulling me tighter to his chest. "I would never be mean to them Lucy. I was just fucking with you. Honestly, it is kind of weird for them to call me Master since you have their key." I nod my head. I mean I understood what he was saying. I find it awkward for my spirits to call me that when I all want to do is be their friend. I explained that to him and that Loke started calling me Princess when I saved him. "Now, I usually new spirits will call me Master when they first come out but then I explain to them that I don't want them to call me that and so they start calling me Princess like all the rest of my spirit friends. I guess you could be Prince Laxus, since I am Princess Lucy." I told him with a straight face, but I was unable to look at him while I said it.

"I aught to shock you for that. But I wont casue I like you." He said holding me tighter to his chest. "whatever your spirits want to call me is fine Lucy. Why don't you go ahead and summon your other one know and then we can go meet up with the others for dinner." He told me as he dropped his arms from around me.

I sighed and pulled away walking a few steps to stand a little way away from Laxus. I pulled out my second key and called, "I call upon thee, in the world of the Celestial Spirits; I beckon you to my side at once, pass through the gate. Open! Gate of the Chisel, Caelum."

As soon as I summoned him he appeared there in front of me, floating in the air. "Hi Caelum, would you like to make a contract with me?" I asked him. He floated up a little and then back down a couple of times before hovering in front of me once more. "Is there any day that you're not available?" I asked. He floated side to side so I assumed that meant no. "For Magic you use plasma ray, correct?" again he floated up and down. "Perfect, Caelum, welcome to our family! You can go back now." He floated around me for a minute before disappearing again.

Bixlow's POV

'I wonder what is taking them so long?' I thought to myself, before turning to the others. "Guys do you think that we should go after them? I'm worried about Lucy and how she reacted to that asshole, Watanabe." I went to say something else but Freed held up his hand so I waited for him to speak.

"Dirk is definitely an asshole, but I do not think that he would hurt Lucy with Laxus around. I remember meeting him a few times before I left my Fathers estate and he was always a jerk, but if someone is around that is bigger than him he would back down. Between Laxus and Lucy's spirits I'm pretty sure that he will stay away from her, at least right now." Freed stated in his usual monotone voice.

I'm not sure if that is supposed to make me feel better or not, but I left it alone and just continued to wait for them.

After another 10 minutes I could see them making their way towards us and had to chuckle at the pair of them. Lucy was hanging on Laxus's back and Laxus had his arms behind him holding Lucy's thighs so she wouldn't fall off. He also had a scowl on his face, but you could tell that it wasn't directed at Lucy, but the people around him instead. I tapped Freed and Evergreen on the shoulder and pointed out the rest of our team. Both of them laughed at the sight also.

"Took you guys long enough. Can we go eat now? Please? I'm starving!" I begged them as they came into ear shot of me. "SHIT!" I yelled as I felt the electrical current going through my body from Laxus.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to antagonize him, Bix. One of these days he's not going to just seen a small voltage bolt at you." Freed said trying to hid his smile.

Laxus now had a smirk on his face and Lucy was no longer on his back but now leaning back against his chest with his arms around them. "Come on you guys, let's get something to eat, then I will tell you the story about Dirk." Lucy said making to move away from Laxus to go inside the restaurant, however, Laxus stopped her from pulling away completely and wrapped an arm around her waist and they walked in together, with the rest of us following behind. All of us wearing matching smiles.

Sorry it has taken me so long to post this. I have already started working on the next chapter and hopefully it will be finished and posted soon!
