Heyo everyone! I know I have another story that i have yet to update but i promise I will try to get on that soon! I've been studying for finals and this is my last week of school before my summer break so i should be able to start writing more often! Buuuuuut it's storming outside and I couldn't help but want to write a little something about our favorite lightning and celestial mages!

I will apologize right now for any mistakes! I'm no English major, I'm just a girl who enjoys writing for myself from time to time. But I hope you all will enjoy this! I absolutely love storms and pouring rain, especially thunder! The louder, the better, as I always say! I hope everyone who enjoys a good storm will appreciate this short snippet.

Disclaimer: I own nothin'

Without further ado, here is the story!

There was nothing like the feeling of electricity flowing through his veins while shooting across the sky. It was exhilarating. Dangerous. Addictive. He would never get enough of it, and that was one thing he didn't mind. He could let himself feel free in this form, not a care in the world of how destructive his magic could be. This was his element. He would allow himself this joy, this one thing he would selfishly keep to himself and not let anyone else feel.

It was like a drug you couldn't stop taking. He knew he would never give this up, not in a million years. No one would be able to ever tell him to stop, but then again, no one would dare to try and keep him from the storms. In his mind he truly didn't mind that people were still intimidated by his presence, everyone had a right to be. He nearly destroyed his home while going through a rebellious time in his life. Though he would admit that it wouldn't hurt to see one person look at him without any trace of fear hidden in their eyes, or see a smile that didn't look like a grimace directed towards him.

He caused pain, fear, anguish, and dread to course through his guilds heart. He caused his grandfather so much grief that to this day he still felt guilty. He knew he had been forgiven, even if it wasn't truly his grandfather who accepted him back into the guild, the old man can look him in the eyes now with a smile on his face and that is all that mattered to him.

He had hoped that his recent involvement in the Grand Magical Games would help everyone feel more at ease with his presence, and it had, just not as much as he had hoped. He wanted to make everyone realize that he would never try to hurt his nakama again, never threaten the guild or his family. But, only time could heal the wounds he dealt.

Sighing, the man flashed out of his lightning form to land on the roof of one of the many buildings in Magnolia.

Looking up, Laxus smirked. This was the perfect storm for him to shoot up into the sky with the other lightning, eating it if he pleased, or just enjoying the sensation as he became one with his magic. The thunder was booming so loud that it made the ground shake, and it was awesome. The warm summer rain was pouring buckets of water on the ground. Even when he was a little kid, Laxus enjoyed watching storms out of a window in his house, mesmerized with its beauty.

Laxus hasn't found one person who had the same love he did for such weather, but he also never tried looking to see if anyone had the same interests as he did. In the end he didn't really care. His guild mates were all still weary of him, and he wasn't about to force himself on any people just to make friends.

Laxus snorted at that thought, making friends? He didn't need people, he had his team and his gramps and that was enough for him. He could go on enough missions with his team, save up more money that he knew what to do with and enjoy life as it was.

But maybe it was the storm making him think like this. Laxus was never one to truly worry what people thought about him. It was only when there was rain pouring over his face with loud crashes of thunder filling his ears that he truly let his guard down and allowed his mind run away with his thoughts.

Readying to rejoin with the lightning in the sky, Laxus froze when he heard a soft sigh. Or, at least, he thought he heard a sigh. With his eyebrows creasing together, Laxus looked around to try and find the source that made him halt his actions. Finally, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of gold.

Turning he looked across the canal that was in front of the building he was on to the next roof. The building directly in front of his was a small apartment complex, looking completely innocent in the raging storm that was happening outside, until you caught a closer look and saw a blonde headed girl sitting on the roof.

What the… he didn't know what the girl was doing on a roof, but he would be lying if he said he wasn't intrigued. Who else would willingly be out in a storm like this? He knew he had perfect reasoning, his element was mixed in with thunderstorms, so it was natural to want to be out in it. But who was this girl, letting herself get soaked, sitting on the roof?

Deciding that he had watched her silently long enough, he quickly changed into lightning and shot to the opposite roof, just behind the girl. A loud roar of thunder followed him, it happened whenever he travelled as lightning, but he liked it though. It was loud and announced his presence, but the girl seemed to not notice with the storm rolling with its own thunder.

Laxus couldn't see the woman's face from where he was, so he did the next best thing. He leaned in ever so slightly because the rain hindered his senses a little, and proceeded to sniff. Taking in her scent and trying to see if she was anyone he knew. He was a bit surprised to find that it was Blondie who was sitting here seeming to not have a care in the world as her already soaked clothes continued to have water fall on them.

Not knowing how to approach her, he said the first thing that came to mind, "Hey Blondie."

Said Blondie yelped in surprise, practically jumping a foot in the air from her sitting position, while turning to look at the man that towered over her. Her eyes were wide as she spotted pants in front of her face and continued to crane her neck upwards to look into the stormy eyes of Laxus.

They stared at each other for a few seconds, maybe minutes before Lucy seemed to snap out of her dazed confusion to respond to the man before her. "Uh, hey Laxus." Though the answer came out as more of a question since she didn't understand why he was there.

The hidden questioned seemed to reach the lightning dragon slayer, for he sat down beside her and looked out over the storm before responding, ''I saw someone on a roof in this storm and came to see who it was, turned out to be you." He looked from the corner of his eye to see the blonde's reaction and was surprised when she just shrugged her shoulders and mimicked his actions by looking out once again into the storm. She kept blinking furiously as rain kept pouring into her eyes, but other than that, the girl seemed content to let the elements have their way with her. Her hair was whipping around her face with the force of the wind, her clothes were already a second skin from the soaked clothes clinging so closely to her body. In other words, she looked like a drowned kitten.

Then again, Laxus thought that he probably didn't look too much better.

No words were spoken between them, but their minds were thinking the same thing. This is oddly nice.

Laxus never thought that he would even partially enjoy watching a storm with another soul, he thought he would forever be the only person to truly enjoy rain, thunder, and lightning. His surprise when he found Blondie up here doing exactly what he was doing was quickly dwindling. He always found this girl to be somewhat of an enigma to him. Her fierce determination and unwavering trust in people never ceased to amaze him.

If he was being honest with himself, he wasn't all too sure why the girl seemed so comfortable around him right now. There wasn't any fear in her eyes as she regarded him. He turned her into stone for heaven's sake! He caused the entire guild to fight each other and made her fight Bickslow, although he was impressed with her winning that battle. Even before that incident he practically demanded for her to become his girl so that he would have a reason to help with the Phantom Lord incident. That was definitely something he didn't want to remember. He was a changed man, or so he'd like to think.

He was hoping that his time back had proven him to be a better man. He was hoping that defending the girl during the Grand Magical Games gained some points for him in the blondes mind. When he saw her being beaten up and then her spell being nullified, something in him snapped. He wanted to run out to the field and electrocute the Flare girl to a crisp for even thinking of torturing and tormenting his guild. That's right, he understood what the red head was planning to do to little Asuka after Natsu burned the hair away. He wanted to rip the red hair off of Blondie's body and take her to the infirmary to get her treated. Laxus didn't know where this fierce over protectiveness came from, but he didn't feel like questioning it, dragon instincts are supposed to be trusted, so he did just that.

He smirked slightly at remembering how he got his revenge when he took the girl down along with her guild and his father. Hopefully the girl that was currently sitting next to him knew that he wouldn't dare hurt anyone anymore, not her, not another guild mate. He has learned his lesson.

Lucy couldn't understand why Laxus decided to sit down next to her. Or why he even bothered to show up, he didn't strike her as the purely curious type. Although, maybe it was just her, but she thought she could see a flicker of happiness in his usually scowling face. A small upturn to the side of his lips proved to her that maybe he was happy.

She was currently looking out over the storm but allowed herself a quick glance at the man from underneath her eyelashes. Though his eyes were stormier than ever, they seemed clearer too, like a weight was lifted off of his shoulders. Turning back to the storm it dawned on her why. It's lightning all around us, duh. She mentally smacked herself for being so slow on thinking today. But she couldn't help herself. No matter how destructive or loud thunderstorms got, they calmed her and made her mind turn more sluggish, and she didn't see that as a bad thing.

Lucy found it somewhat odd that the silence they sat in wasn't awkward, but comforting in a way. She had long ago forgiven the man beside her for all the things he did. It was obvious that he was starting down the path for the good. No longer was he completely power-hungry, no, he was now truly part of the guild and understood what it meant to have nakama and trust them.

Whatever possessed him to sit with her didn't matter to her, it was obvious that he loved storms as much, if not more, as her. The flashes of light excited her, the thundering sound that followed caused her heart to rush, thumping loudly in her chest, but her mind lightened considerably. During a storm her mind finally cleared and allowed her to enjoy the weather without a care in the world, and she wasn't complaining about that fact. She welcomed it with open arms.

Out of curiosity, Lucy turned her gaze back to Laxus on her right, studying him. He sat with his legs crossed, elbows on his knees with his hands fisted and resting underneath his chin. He looked relaxed, and for some reason that made her happy that he could allow some of his walls to fall when he was around her. Maybe it was just the storm that allowed him to be this content around her but she wasn't going to take it for granted.

Her eyes took him in, from his strong jaw line, to the straight point of his nose to the stormy blue eyes. From her angle she couldn't see his lightning shaped scare, but she knew it looked as sexy as ever. She wasn't going to deny that she found Laxus attractive, heck he was one of the most popular bachelors in all of Fiore. He was a force to be reckoned with. His muscles stood pronounced under his soaked clothes, seeming to be even more defined with the clothes pressed so closely to him. His large chest tapered down to a thinner waist which continued down to his muscular legs. Lucy knew she was screwed, she was staring now, and she couldn't find it within herself to turn away.

She disregarded her own appearance, usually she would be mortified to have someone find her in this state of unruly dress. Her hair must look like a rat's nest, her clothes probably sagging from the weight of the storm, but she didn't care to be bothered by it. He has already seen her and there was nothing she could do about it now.

Feeling eyes on her, she pulled her eyes from looking over Laxus' body to his eyes, only to find him staring intently back at her, head slightly turned her way with one eyebrow raised in a silent question.

Lucy let out a quiet squeak, turning back to the storm, she felt her cheeks growing warm at being caught and cursed under her breath about not being able to look away. She could still feel him looking at her and before he had a chance to ask her why she was staring, she tried to distract him with a question of her own, "so what are you doing out here?" She decided to be brave and met his gaze unflinchingly with her own, even copying how he was sitting.

Laxus' eyes widened only a little, showing his surprise, but decided to answer anyways, "I enjoy being in lightning," the tone in his voice suggested like it was the most obvious thing in the world and he watched as the blush on the girls face flushed a darker red causing him to chuckle lightly. Deciding that it wouldn't hurt to hold a conversation with the girl he continued, "why are you out in this storm?" It was truly something he wanted to know, nobody else in their right mind would risk getting sick to sit in a storm on a roof.

Lucy was still holding his gaze as she thought of an answer good enough, "I find it relaxing." Short and simple, an easy response, and in the same tone he answered her question in.

At that, Laxus felt his eyebrows rising to his hair line. He didn't expect that answer, he thought only he found this weather to be relaxing. "You could get sick?"

Lucy wasted not even a second before she responded, "It's worth getting sick over to enjoy this weather, wouldn't you agree?" Her eyes turned quizzical.

Laxus smirked, he was enjoying this much to his surprise, "I suppose," but cut off when he saw the girl give a slight tremble. "You're cold." It wasn't a question, he knew he saw the girl shiver.

Shrugging, Lucy looked up into the pouring rain, squinting her eyes to keep some over the water out, "like I said, it's worth the sickness to be able to sit out here and watch the thunder and lightning, the rain doesn't bother me." Lucy jerked upright when she felt a warm jolt pass through her body. With wide eyes she looked to her shoulder to see a large hand, following it, she looked back into Laxus' eyes, "what was that?" Her voice came out a little breathless, she was now warmed up, but the feeling of electricity still pulsing within her was, for the lack of a better word, thrilling.

"It's a trick I learned some time ago, one careful shock from me and I can warm a person up." He started to pull his hand away only to be confused when he felt her small hands wrap around his and put it back on her shoulder.

Looking into Lucy's eyes he saw her turn a little sheepish under his stare, "um, do you- ah- mind if you did it again, maybe, please?" The girl turned away in embarrassment and let go of his hand laughing louder than necessary to cover up the blush on her face. "Forget it. That was a silly thing to ask, thank you for warming me up though."

Her back shot upright again in a natural reaction when she felt another pulse shoot through her, slightly stronger than the last. A small gasp escaped her and she closed her eyes at the sensation, savoring it until the blood calmed down enough for her to get her thoughts back into her mind. She turned again to find Laxus looking at her with unhidden curiosity.

Understanding that her reaction and question may be a little odd she smiled softly, the warmth of the hand that was still on her shoulder soaking into her skin, even though she was no longer cold. "The pulses feel really nice, I can understand why you enjoy being in lightning now if what I felt was anything like you being in your lightning form."

Laxus sat there quietly regarding the blonde that was now sitting in front of him. She was now more of an enigma to him. The only other people he ever did this trick to were his teammates and they all found the pulses to be a little odd, sure they like how it instantly warmed them up, but they tried to avoid having to use such means to warm up if possible. The fact that the girl here liked it confused him.

Slowly he pulled his hand off of her shoulder, only to drop it to her thigh, his eyes taking in every one of her reactions. He pulsed his magic again, letting it cross over to her body and watched as Lucy closed her eyes again, letting a sigh out this time. He continued to send the pulses through her, experimentally amping up the power a little to see what her reaction would be, only to be surprised when a soft moan escaped her lips.

His eyebrows shot up, eyes opening wide, but didn't stop his magic, keeping it at the steady pulses he had set, and the power at the same level.

Lucy's eyes shot open when she heard the sound she made and quickly tried to back away in embarrassment, only to feel Laxus' grip tighten and for him to put his other hand on her unoccupied thigh and to flow his magic into her with it too. The pulses were driving her crazy! It was almost like being on an extended adrenaline rush, and even with her embarrassment she didn't want it to stop.

Her limbs started to feel like jello with the sensations crashing throughout her body. She felt alive at the same time as her body failing her and she fell back to lie on the roof to enjoy the electrical current even more. She realized she was now panting, but couldn't find it in herself to care. Whatever Laxus might think of her now didn't seem to be of importance to her haze induced mind. She only let herself feel the electricity, as it combined with the pounding water, and the thunder in the distance, all adding up to be what could only be an addictive experience.

Laxus couldn't believe what was happening. Before him was Lucy laying on her back, panting, gasping, and heaven forbid, quietly moaning, all due to what he was doing. And he would be lying if he didn't say it was hot. At that moment he sent one powerful shock and watched as she gasped louder and arched her back up off of the roof, eyes opening wide to stare at the angry grey clouds above her with an unseeing gaze. He smirked, he was not going to take this for granted. Only earlier that day did he not believe there was another person who couldn't enjoy what he did, but obviously there was someone who could, and now that he found her, he was not going to let go.

He couldn't control himself any longer, he abruptly cut off the magic flow, ignoring the whimper of protest that left the girl. He moved his hands to her hips and forcefully, but gentle enough so she wouldn't get hurt, brought her to sit on his lap, crushing his lips to hers. He reveled in the shock that passed between them from the residue of his magic that was still in Lucy. Laxus then happily realized that Lucy was kissing him back with just as much force as he was.

Lucy didn't truly understand what happened, one second she was enjoying the joys of the lightning mage sharing his magic with her, only for the next second to be kissing said man with a burning passion. And she loved it. She wrapped her arms around his neck while feeling his own snake around her waist to pull her tighter against him. She had liked this man from afar for long enough and was going to take advantage of every moment she had with him.

Breaking apart from this kiss after many minutes, Laxus rested his forehead against Lucy's to stare into the eyes that were looking right back at him. A true smile formed on his lips, one that he hadn't shown for many years. He saw an answering smile form on the girl's lips that was still sitting in his lap, one that was her signature blinding smile that could brighten any room. "Wow." That simple three letter word coming from her lips caused him to chuckle and only nod in agreement. Suddenly a thought came to mind, a purely crazy, amazing thought.

"How would you like to feel what it's like being lightning?" He felt like a gleeful child that just woke up on Christmas morning when he saw her eyes spark with excitement.

"You mean it's possible to do that?" Lucy couldn't believe it, first she got to feel his magic, and then he kissed the breath away from her, now he wants to show her what it's like being lightning? This was all too good to be true, she didn't know what had come over the usually stoic man to share all of this with her, but like she thought earlier, she was going to be selfish and take advantage of his happy mood.

Without waiting for his answer to her question she nodded her head vigorously, watching as Laxus' smile lit up his face and made him even more attractive than he already was, and she didn't know such a thing was possible.

Standing up and pulling her into his arms bridal style, he laughed out loud at her surprised yelp. "Hold on tight Blondie, you're in for a ride." Feeling her arms tighten around his neck, he allowed his lightning to course around their bodies, letting her get used to the feeling of it dance on her skin before shooting up into the sky to join the other lightning.

Changing forms is something that could never truly be explained when asked how it felt. You couldn't tell exactly where you ended and began again, only that you felt charged and alive. It was a giddy feeling and something that could never turn into a curse. The feeling was invigorating. Powerful. Addictive. Now Laxus has someone to share it with, and he was beyond happy. He never knew he wished he had a person to share his joy of lightning, until he found the person. And she just so happened to be laughing in his arms at this moment, not that he could really see her, but he could still somewhat feel her in his arms and could hear the infectious laughter spilling from her lips. Without being able to stop himself his laughter joined with hers.

Sooooo whatcha think? I don't exactly like the ending, I kinda feel like I might have stopped it suddenly. But what are your thoughts? Should I continue this and make it a multi-chapter story? Should I leave it as a one-shot? Any mistakes you wanna point out? Let me know!

I hope everyone enjoyed it! I certainly loved writing it. I've always wondered how Laxus would act when lightning is all around him and when a storm is raging.

I'm going to try updating A Wolf, A Dragon, and A Mage soon, but I'm still trying to figure out where I want to go with the story. Should I make it pure fluff? Adventure? Twist the plot a lot? I dunno yet. But I will try to figure it out soon for all of you wanting to see an update! Hopefully I won't disappoint. But I will definitely get a new chapter out by the end of this month, and that is a promise!

I hope to see a few reviews to know what you all think of this story and if you want more. I wouldn't mind expanding it if that's what you all want.
