"Hey," I said softly walking into the infirmary at the guild hall. Laxus silently sat in one of the clean, white beds and looked towards me.

"Hey," he answered softly. Only two days have passed since Roaring Skeleton had been defeated, and Laxus was healing at a slower pace than everyone else. His eyes flicked over to my right arm, and remained there for several long moments.

"Natsu and them made this for me after the incident," I said taking a seat next to Laxus. "It's pretty handy, holds all of my celestial keys, and I can throw a mean punch," I said with a hint of cheer in my voice.

"Yea, I still feel it's hits," Laxus' voice was still soft, but he had a small smile on his face. There was a long moment of silence as both of us thought of something to say to one another. "It was you who pulled me back," Laxus said softly as he looked towards the white sheets that covered him.

"What do you mean," I asked softly.

"It was your scent, your voice, that broke the spell Suki had over me," Laxus said softly. "I guess I'm still head over heels for you," he let out a small laugh, but kept his eyes on the white sheets.

"I don't see why you still love me, after everything I did," I said softly, my eyes watching his face as his smile disappeared.

"It wasn't your fault," his voice, was different than the last time I talked to him, before the fight we had so long ago. His voice sounded almost broken, and sad.

"You better not be blaming yourself," I said sternly. His eyes finally met mine, and I could see his once lively eyes weren't so lively anymore.

"If it wasn't for me, none of this would have happened."

"You're wrong, this would have happened one way or another. Everything I've, we've been through has been because of them, Roaring Skeleton. They were the ones who contracted Xinos to get my spirits, they turned Fern into what he was, and sent him back out for revenge. They even sent that job to take them out to the guild, just to see how strong we were. It was all their fault not ours."

His eyes met mine, and I could tell he wanted to say something but he couldn't put words to what he thought. "Sometimes, sometimes I wish we could just go back in time, and start over," he said softly, his eyes returning to the white sheets that laid in front of him.

"Why go back," I asked softly.

"Because, I don't know if we can forgive each other for what we did," I could tell he was fighting back tears.

"Laxus, I forgive you, and I'm sorry for everything that's happened," I said softly as I reach for his hand. Once our hands met his eyes met mine, and his face was of pure shock.

"Lucy," he said softly.

"And whose to say we can't start over, we aren't the same people we were that day when we kissed on Tenrou," a small smile appeared on my face. "All of those people are now are memories of what was."

"Did you hear what gramps and I were talking about."

"Yea, something about you having a crush on someone," I answered. Laxus muttered several curses under his breath.

"Who is it," I asked before I could stop.

"Uh, no one," he stammered in shock.

"Didn't sound like no one," I said with a wicked smile.

"Could we just not talk about it," Laxus said softly, blush appearing on his face.

"No, you got me interested now, who is it. It's Mira isn't it."

"No."

"Cana."

"No."

"Erza?"

"NO, please just drop the subject," Laxus said with a worried look in his eyes. I let out a gasp as I realized who it had to be.

"You have a crush on Juvia," I said with a smile, my voice extremely quiet.

"What, no, no, please just stop," Laxus pleaded.

"The only other girls left are Wendy, Carla, and Evergreen," I said, a wicked smile still plastered on my face. "It has to be Evergreen then," I said with a soft laugh.

"Oh my god Lucy, NO, you want to know so bad, it's you," Laxus said finally breaking. The memory brought several good ones along with it, but that wasn't the same person who sat in front of me now.

"So who's to say we can't start over, as who we are now," I tightened my grip on his hand, and his eyes met mine. "Hi, I'm Lucy Nix Heartfilia," I said softly.

"Laxus Dreyar," Laxus answered with a smile, his eyes going soft.

"Do you want to go out on a job sometime, you look like the kind of guy who could crack some skulls together if needed," I asked. Laxus laughed at my comment, and lightly squeezed my hand.

"I think I would really like that, Blondie," Laxus said softly. "As long as it's just you and me."

"I would have it no other way," I said softly, slowly I leaned in, and I felt Laxus press a soft kiss on my lips.

"They Liiiikkkkkkkeeeeee each other," a familiar cat snickered from the doorway.

"Shit, they're going to kill us for seeing this," we separated from the kiss to see that almost the entire guild was standing in the doorway looking towards Laxus and I. Natsu and Gray stood in front of everyone else, and were to scared to move. Behind them I could see Levy with Gajeel at her side squealing in happiness at the sight of Laxus and I reunited. Mira was squealing alongside Levy, and Wendy and Romeo were blushing beyond belief.

"I knew they would get together," Makarov said with a look of a proud grandfather, and a look of 'I did this' on his face.

"Get the hell out of here," Laxus shouted, causing everyone to run from the doorway. Once they were all gone, Laxus turned his attention back towards me, and pulled me into another kiss.

"They liiiiikkkkkkeeee each other," Happy mumbled just loudly enough that I could hear him. I quickly grabbed a pillow from behind Laxus and threw it towards the cat. All while not breaking the kiss.

"Nice throw," Laxus said once the cat mumbled how scared he was as he left the room.

"Thank you," I answered.

"One day, you will be able to protect what really matters to you, when that day comes, I hope you have learned everything that you needed," Zo said softly.

"Thank you," I repeated, as I pressed another kiss to Laxus' lips.

And with that, it's over.

I want to thank everyone who stuck around for the end, you guys are the best.

I hope you enjoyed the Lucy Nix Heartfilia trilogy, and I can't wait to show you guys what's coming next.

Thanks you all for your support, and all the amazing feedback I got.

Until next time, Nerdz out.
