I'm so so sorry that it have taken me so long to get this chapter out . Life have kinda caught up to me and I just haven't really known what to write.. But with this chapter I'm now finishing the story :D

And I will apologize for any grammar or spelling error I might have :) I'm word blind and English is not my first language :)

I do NOT own Fairy Tail or its Character! ^w^

It had been a few days since they got home, and Lucy had finally gotten over the ordeal that she'd been through. It had taken a good long talk with Erza and a bit of crying, but she had let it go and was now moving forward with her life.

Looking into the mirror, she frowned at her hair before pulling out the ponytail and running a hand through it to get it to settle down; finally she gave a nod and smiled "Yes that will do looks much better!" Placing her hands on her hips she critically looked herself over in the mirror scanning for any faults that she could find. Satisfied that the blue summer dress was sitting perfectly on her figure, and that no faults could be found, Lucy picked up the keys and quickly left for the guild.

Walking along the canal, she looked up at the sky as she remembered the thoughts that had plagued her for the last 24 hours 'I wonder if he feels the same as I… Maybe we should talk...' blushing at the thought of even talking with him, she didn't even want to think about being alone with him. Waving a hand in front of her face, the blush intensified "What am I thinking; of course Laxus doesn't feel the same!" Hopping off the edge, Lucy smiled as she saw Gray up ahead and waved "Afternoon Gray" Smiling in return Gray laughed ""Hi Lucy, you are in a happy mood today. Any specific reason behind it?"

Humming, Lucy merely shrugged "Should there be a reason for me being happy?" Glad to get her thoughts away from her own problem at the moment, she quickly took the chance to ask Gray some questions about his "So any solving the Lyon problem?" The answer to the question came fast as Gray gave a huff as he placed his hands in his pockets "No, or maybe a little. I told Juvia some of the facts and I'm surprised at how well she took it…" That got her a little surprised but nonetheless she came with a teasing comment that she knew would make him blush "See, wasn't bad, was it? Just think if Lyon took things as nice as Juvia did? Then you might have solved everything and gotten laid at the same time."

The result was precisely what Lucy had predicted as Gray blushed heavily and simply looked away for a moment before replying "Okay, let's make a deal Luce, I talk to Lyon and you talk to Laxus?" At that Lucy stopped and fumbled with her hands as she looked down "ehm, are you sure that's a good idea? I mean it's really just a one way feeling so…" Raising an eyebrow at that, Gray chuckled "Are you being stupid? How in the world could it ever be that?! Have you seen the way the guy looks at you, Luce? He wants you, no doubt about it. I'm the one risking things here, not you"

At that she could only agree as she thought some more on it "I think you are right in that you have more on stake then I do. So okay Gray it's a deal" As Lucy smiled, Gray realized that she had just agreed with his deal and his eyes widen "Wait, did you just agree?! I didn't think you would agree to something like that!" Laughing she began to walk again "Well you are correct in that it shouldn't be that hard for me to do. And I kinda need to talk with him anyways so why not make a deal with you at the same time…"

Huffing Gray turned his head as they got up to the guild doors "Well, you talk first Luce..." Swallowing, she nodded before moving up to the bar "Hi Mira" turning MiraJane gave a happy smile "Afternoon Lucy, anything I can get you?" Returning the smile, Lucy nodded and sat down on the chair in front of the bar "just a Strawberry shake please"

Even though it was a in the middle of the day and a lot of people was out on jobs there was still quite a few around, and as Lucy thanked Mira for the shake she turned a little to see if there was anyone that she wanted to talk too while waiting for Laxus to show up.

Not really seeing anyone that was a small bit interesting to talk too, she sighed and turned back around to face the bar again, and MiraJane looked her way "You seem like you are searching for someone Lucy?"

Hesitating a little, she bit her lower lip as she looked at MiraJane "Do you know if Laxus have showed up?" a glint came into MiraJane's eyes as she smiled and pointed towards the stairs "Yes of course Laxus is here, his in the office doing some of the papers while Master is gone." Staring at the stairs, Lucy wasn't sure if she should go see him but a smiling MiraJane placed a mug in front of her "can you take this to Laxus if you are going there?" Hearing some calling for beer MiraJane turned and went away.

Looking at the mug in front of her, she figured that was the excuse that she needed to go talk with Laxus.

Standing up, Lucy took the mug in hand and went towards the stairs. Thought the moment that she made it there, she stopped in her steps while looking up 'okay you can do this girl, it's only a talk. Nothing is going to happen' Gulping at the last thought that went through her mind, Lucy bit her lower lip before slowly making her way up the stairs and towards the office…

Hearing some shuffling behind the door, she gently knocked and carefully opened it when a short "Come in" was heard.

Sitting behind a large desk Laxus was flipping through some papers looking a little annoyed but he glanced towards the door when it opened and gave a small smile "Lucy? Something I can help you with?" A slight smile graced Lucy's face as she went into the office and closed the door behind her "I came with your drink…" Walking to the desk, she placed the mug on it while giving a small smile "You seem annoyed at something…" A grunt escaped him as he took the mug and took a sip before placing it down again "Thank you. And yes there are some problems with the Magic counsel again, which isn't really anything new." Looking at her, Laxus quickly figured that she wasn't only here with the drink "But I get a feeling you aren't just here with the drink… So what is it?"

Swallowing she knew that if she wanted to talk about her feelings then it was now or never "Well you see…. Ehm what I wanted to say was….." Lifting an eyebrow he waited for her to continue what she tried to say, and as she continued a blush soon raised on her cheeks "I…. I like you…" Blinking a few times, Laxus wasn't totally sure what she tried to say "Lucy what are you trying to say here…?"

At that the blush only intensified and as her eyes connected with his, Lucy found that she just couldn't look away "I love you…. I thought we had something together back in your house, so I decided to come clean…" For a moment Laxus just sat there staring at her but it was only till he collected his thoughts and he stood up and walked towards her. Cupping her cheek with his hand a small smile graced his face as he looked down at her "We did have something Luce. And I feel the same, I love you too…" bending forward, Laxus shortened the distance between them but it was Lucy there took the final decision as she wrapped her arms around his neck and moved the last way to connect their lips.
