Summary: Halloween. A time where people can dress in virtually nothing and get away with it. But when a certain blonde dresses in something the Lightning Slayer can't resist, plus a cunning game with Cana, things get a little interesting… and heated.

xXx Provoking the Mating xXx

She hadn't expected the hands that grabbed at her hips, nor did she anticipate that they would actually guide her through the throng of sweaty bodies. She couldn't tell who the person was, flashing lights and magical smoke obscuring her view whenever she looked over her shoulder, so she focused on carrying the tray laden with glasses as carefully as she could, her costume limiting her movement. The glitter on her skin shone like stars, flashing different colours as they caught the glow from the lacrima overhead.

"You know Blondie..." The whisper in her ear had her frozen, instant recognition making her heart stutter, "Mira has it handled. You don't have to keep doing this..."

They broke through the edge of the crowded dance floor and she escaped his grip, turning to look into the man's stormy blue eyes, trying her best to ignore his bare chest, "Well Spark Plug, I didn't have a date and didn't want Mira doing this all on her own..." She puffed out her cheeks in indignation, ignoring the way his eyes bore into her.

"You don't seem to be able to do much in that costume. Why make it harder for yourself?" Her guardian chuckled when her cheeks flushed, and she turned her back to him, ready to march over to the bar and demand Mira call him off.

"The costume was in no way my idea Laxus. Now go away. I'm sure your team are looking for you." With a glance over her shoulder, the magical smoke stinging her eyes, she walked to the bar, wary of the smile Mira sent her way.

"Wonderful Lucy. Thank you!" The demon barmaid clapped once Lucy got closer before taking the tray from the blonde, "Now, you two are just in time for the game!"

Lucy glanced between the silverette and the table of guild mages nearby, "Um. I'd rather not. I'll just keep helping you with the bar." With a nod to herself, Lucy went to collect the now free tray when Mira's glare stopped her.

"Lucy. You are going to have fun with your guild mates tonight. No buts about it. This is your first official Fairy Tail Halloween after all!" Mira smiled at the blonde woman, but there was a wickedness to it that had her frozen in place.

"Now get over there. Cana has got everything set up already." With a wave over her hand, Mira gave Laxus a look and the blonde man nodded. Lucy could practically feel his smirk, imagining the smug look on his face as she tried to pull away, only to have his arms band around her stomach and pick her up, "Hey! What are you doing? Laxus? Let me down!" She flushed, her hands flying to the edge of her extremely short skirt, curtesy of Mira, in an attempt to conserve her dignity. The last thing she wanted to do was flash everyone gathered in the guild.

"No can-do Blondie. Mira wants you to go have fun." He only stopped once her reach the table and sat down, settling the blonde woman in his lap and holding her to his chest.

"I didn't think she'd go this far..." A blush covered her cheeks at the whistles and cat calls the others at the table sent their way and Laxus just laughed, resting his free arm on the table while he leant back in the chair.

"Well, well. Look at you two all cuddled up." Cana sloshed her mug of beer at the pair, ignoring the betrayed look the Celestial mage gave her, "Anyway. Now that we're all here..."

Lucy looked around, noticing that Cana had gather a fair few people for the game. Bixlow was beside the brunette, followed by Elfman and Evergreen, Lisanna and Natsu came next, though it was obvious from their puffy lips that they'd much rather be somewhere else entirely. Wendy and Romeo had even gotten involved, along with Levy and Gajeel, Gray and Juvia.

"Um... Should Wendy and Romeo really be playing?" Lucy could feel how nervous the pair were, and knowing what Cana was capable of, she worried for the two young teens.

"Oh don't worry. They'll be fine!" Cana cheered, ignoring the way Wendy and Romeo blushed, refusing to look at each other, "Freed! Set up the barrier." The green haired male stepped up to the table, Mira just behind him with a tray of strange, smoking drinks.

"The rules of this barrier are as follows: If you lie, it will light up and only disappear once you've spoken the truth. You cannot leave this barrier unless it is for a specific purpose or Cana gives you permission to leave. As a precaution, we have also created these drinks that will encourage you to tell the whole truth." Freed's' sword flashed as he wrote out the necessary runes, and within seconds a transparent barrier separated the table of friends from the rest of the party.

"Here you go everyone. And a bottle!" She placed the tray down and everyone grabbed a glass. The strange blue liquid was smokey and Lucy barely had a chance to observe it when Laxus grabbed her chin and poured the liquid down her throat. She coughed and sputtered, smacking his arm as she struggled.

"Oh my." Mira giggled before stepping back, Freed closing the barrier behind her, "Have fun everyone!" And just like that, the barrier closed up and those at the table were left to face Cana's wicked mind. Laxus deposited Lucy on the free space on the bench beside him and threw back his own shot, relishing in the burn in left in its wake.

"Lucy... Your costume is great!" Lucy blushed, staring down at the white tube top was mostly hidden by a brown corset, a micro skirt of rich garnet poking out the bottom and barely covering her lower half at all. Small black horns pocked out of her golden locks and she had been covered in glitter by the demon barmaid, saying that it would make her more alluring as a succubus.

"Mira made me wear it." She found the courage to look at her book loving friend and smiled, "I love yours. Let me guess. Gajeel inspired you, didn't he?"

The bluenette could only nod, her small black dragon wings on her back flapping of their own accord, "I thought the idea was cute, so I went along with it." She wore her normal orange dress, with the black wings popping out from her shoulder blades.

"Juvia thinks the both of you look good." Juvia drew their attention and Lucy gasped, amazed by the silver crystals that glistened from the tiara the water mage wore, her blue halter dress rippling like water.

"Juvia, the tiara is stunning." Lucy couldn't help but complement the woman who insisted on calling her Love Rival.

"Thank you. Juvia got it as a gift from Gray. Juvia thinks it is very pretty." The ice mage blushed, refusing to look at the women admiring his handiwork.

"So I'm gonna say you're an Ice Princess. What does that make Gray?" Cana butted in, gulping down the last of her drink.

"Juvia asked Gray to be her partner tonight. So he was going to be the Ice Prince, but he didn't want to wear the crown." Juvia answered for him, and she was going to continue when Natsu cut her off, his own voice full of mirth.

"Are you sure it isn't the other way around? Pretty sure you wear the pants more than he does." His horns of flame sputtered as a blast of cold air hit him and Gray jumped up onto the bench.

"What were you saying ash for brains?" The temperature dropped rapidly and those around could only stare blankly at him as Natsu dropped off his seat from laughter.

"Gray... your pants..." Bixlow tried to warn the ice mage, but his own laughter took over and he soon found himself of the ground at Gray's reaction. The Ice-Make mage flapped his arms around before using his hands to cover himself before losing his balance and falling to the floor himself.

"Gray my love. Juvia will help you." Before long everyone had to look away, their eyes burning from having watched the water woman touch him in some inappropriate ways.

"Ok then... and what are you meant to be Cana?" Lucy cleared her throat, trying to distract herself from what she'd seen.

"Can't you tell? I'm a pirate!" Cana pointed to the eye patch currently nestled in her mane of hair.

"I can see that." Wendy, ever the one to please others, smiled at the brunette, adjusting her own halo above her head.

"Why thank you Wendy. I think I did a great job with my costume." Almost everyone sweat dropped at her words, "You and Romeo make a cute couple, an angel and a devil."

Again, the youngest kind-of-couple blushed, "Thanks Cana." Romeo laughed, rubbing the back of his head, a nervous tick he had picked up from Natsu.

"Anyway..." Lucy coughed, feeling her cheeks flame when Laxus' hand brushed against her thigh, "We have a pirate and a knight, two dragons, an ice prince and princess, angel, demon, demon prince..." She looked at each one pointedly, noting the small wings poking out from Lisanna's back, "A bird... and um..."

"Really Lucy. You should know what I would be by now." Ever snapped her fan open, fanning herself to hide her smirk.

"A fairy. Of course. How silly of me." The blonde could feel the sweat drop down her face when Laxus laughed, staring down at her with a smirk, "And what are you meant to be spark plug?"

His smirk turned into a feral grin and he leant down to her, his face a hair breath away from hers, "I'm a werewolf. According to Mira, they're build and have sharp teeth." He snapped his jaw, his teeth clacking sharply before he pulled away, "Elfman is… an elf man, because he matches Ever that way."

"And what are you meant to be Lu?" Levy's question made her blush again, and she felt like her face would permanently discolour at the rate her blood was rushing to her head.

"Oh... well I was going to be a Spirit... But Natsu burnt my costume this morning," The pinkette ducked under the table at her words, those around them laughing at his fear, "So Mira gave me this. It was meant to be a succubus..."

"Oh. You mean the demon that's meant to have sex with sleeping men?" Levy was all too innocent with her words and Lucy sputtered, her heart racing when Laxus leant over her.

"Only one man will be getting that, preferably awake, hm?" His words left her breathless and she turned to look at him, forcing herself to glare at him.

"Excuse me?" One delicate eyebrow rose, and he just shook his head.

"Enough talk!" Cana slammed the bottle Mira had left against the table, "The rules are as follows. The shot glasses you have refill magically, so it is a drinking game!" Groans echoed up around the table, all forms of protest ignored by the brunette, "The person who spins the bottle will ask the person it lands on a question, either a truth or dare, or if you feel like, you can challenge the table, the question being 'never have I ever'." A wicked smirk spread across the woman's face, "If you refuse a dare, truth or group challenge, the others will come up with something you need to do and you cannot refuse. So, think of it as your second chance. Be careful what you turn down."

"Oh boy..." Lisanna moaned, laying her head on the table while Natsu whooped.

"Yeah! I'm all fired up!" Natsu grabbed the shot glass, watching it refill before taking it in one go, "I'm ready!"

"Um... Natsu... you weren't meant to start drinking yet..." Wendy smiled sweetly at the pinkette.

"Don't worry Wendy. He's just getting a head start!" Romeo followed Natsu's actions quickly, his face already flushed from the alcohol he'd taken in.

"You two shouldn't even be drinking!" Ever snapped her fan closed, noticing her words went unnoticed, "Well... have fun with your hangover."

"That's how a man drinks!" Elfman made everyone laugh before Cana slammed her hand against the table.

"I'll spin first!" Before anyone could reply, the bottle was spun in the middle of the table, making all those watching anxious, well, mostly everyone. When it settled on Lisanna the brunette smirked, "Ok Lisanna... truth." The youngest Strauss sibling nodded, "Have you and Natsu had mated yet?"

Immediately Natsu sputtered, his face as bright as his flames, "Cana, I don't think-"

"No!" Lisanna cut him off with a shout quickly, her face matching his, and the barrier flaring orange, "But... I mean... we-we've had sex... But we're waiting to be mated."

The barrier around them flashed green, proving that she had told the whole truth and the brunette nodded, satisfied, "I see wedding bells in your future Lisanna. Now spin the bottle!" With a giggle, Lisanna leant over the table, the other slayers noticing the way Natsus' eyes strayed to her barely concealed behind.

"There had better be wedding bells soon or else we'll have his shitty children running around before they get around to it." Gajeel mumbled, causing the silverette to jolt the bottle. The glass rattled, bouncing on the spot in a sloppy circle before it stopped on said Iron Dragon Slayer. With wicked delight, Lisanna said a silent apology to Levy before speaking.

"Well Gajeel. I dare you to make out with Levy right now. No holding back." He gaped at the woman, his mouth wide open while his mate just smiled beside him.

"Woman, just what-" He couldn't even finish, his glare hidden behind Levy's head as the bluenette swung her leg over his lap and planted her lips on his, devouring his words. The barrier lit up yellow, slowly fading to green as his hands came up to hold his mate to his chest. A growl reverberated from his chest and Levy moaned as the barrier flared green. But that didn't stop the pair. Despite Gajeel's severe dislike for PDA disappearing with his little mate in his lap.

"Um... guys?" Even Evergreen had to blush at the sight, her own eyes straying over the Elfman.

"Oh my." Wendy blushed, her cheeks permanently stained scarlet.

With a wet sound the others didn't want to identify, Levy and Gajeel pulled apart, blushes on both their faces but a fierce look in their eyes.

"Well Gajeel, spin the bottle!" Cana took a shot of her drink, regardless of whether or not she had to.

The Iron Slayer just grunted, waiting until Levy settled back beside him before spitting a small nail at the bottle and sending it into a rapid spin. When it finally did slow, the smallest slayer gulped, staring right into the opening in the bottle, "Gehe. You're in luck pipsqueak, I got a challenge for the table."

They could only stare at him in apprehension, taking hold of their glasses, waiting for his red eyes to finishing roving the table.

"Never have I ever... had sex at the guild." Everyone except Lucy, Wendy, Romeo, Lisanna and Natsu drank, downing their shots in seconds. Lucy could only gape at her blue haired friend.

"Levy! You really..." Lucy couldn't even look her friend in the eye, slightly mortified at the thought, the barrier turning green before settling back into its transparent state.

"Uh... well we were in the library, and it was right before he told me I was his mate and we-"

"Right! It happened. We don't need details from anyone." Ever quickly interrupted, staring straight at Wendy, "Anyway. Spin the bottle Wendy, next turn!"

The blushing Wind Dragon Slayer took a small breath before directing her magic at the bottle, sending it flying into the air before dropping back to the wood, her smile wide as she looked at her victim, "Well Evergreen. Are you and Elfman planning to have children?" The knowing look in the girls' eyes had the others curious and Ever could only huff.

"Of course not! We aren't even-" The barrier flared red and Laxus laughed, smirking at the only woman on his team.

"Don't lie Ever. Half of those at this table know the truth."

Caught out, Evergreen sighed before looking at her boyfriend, smiling at him as he wrapped a giant arm around her while his other hand rested on her belly, "Well then I guess the cat is out of the bag. Elfman and I are expecting!"

Those around the table congratulated them, faintly hearing a familiar voice float over, "Silver hair, blue eyes babies. Brown haired, blue eyes babies..."

"I'm so happy for you two." Wendy nodded before nudging the bottle closer to the brunette, "It's your turn now."

Without a word, Ever spun the bottle, watching as it slowed before landing on Romeo, "And it lands on the innocent little boy. Okay Romeo. I dare you to kiss Wendy." Instantly the two youngest members of the game put Erza's hair to shame. The two twisted in the seats, refusing to look at each other.

"Okay... fine." Without missing a beat, Romeo smashed his lips to Wendys'. The pair didn't move, but a small blast of air radiated outwards from the pair before they pulled back, not looking at anyone.

"That was anticlimactic." Cana grumbled, throwing back another shot, "Let's keep this moving. There's too much talking, not enough drinking!"

Romeo grabbed to bottle and spun it with more force than intended, the glass rattling against the wood before it caught on a nail and stopped, pointing at Gray. Still blushing, Romeo hummed before pointing at the Ice-Make Mage, "I dare you Gray to… to... strip and have Juvia sit in your lap until the next turn!"

Cheers erupted from the older people around the table and Gray hissed, glaring at the smaller fire mage, "Why you little-"

"Uh-uh Gray. Either you take it or leave it up to us to think of something else." He paled at Bixlow's words, but he couldn't bear the thought when he noticed the Juvia had turned into a puddle on the ground.

"No way." He grabbed his glass and threw back a shot, before throwing back two more, "I'll do anything else you want in the next turn... but that's not happening."

Juvia still hadn't returned to a solid state and Gray could only blush, adjusting in his seat.

"Well. Hurry up and pass on the turn. And then we'll think of something for you." Cana sighed, taking her own shot before mumbling to herself as she observed the shot glass, "I need to ask Mira where she got these things from..."

Clearing his throat he spun the bottle, watching as it came to a quick stop at Lucy and he couldn't help but wonder if one of the mages at the table had have something to do with the rapid halt of the glass, "Okay Lucy... Truth. Is there someone at this table that you care about? On a deeper level?" He was careful with his wording, hearing the groan from a few others around him. But he refused to but his teammate in a tight spot.

"Um..." Lucy blushed, playing with the strands of hair that had fallen out of her messy bun, "Well. There is someone at this table... that I care for... more than some." She didn't expand and Laxus growled, leaning ever so slightly towards her so his arm bumped into hers.

"Great. The barrier says she's right, which means she answered the question. Now what should we do about Gray?" Evergreen cast a quick glance at the future guild master before staring at Cana. Everyone had silently decided that the Card Mage would pick the punishment of refusal.

"Awesome. Well. We'll make this two parts. One, you need to down as many shots as there are people at this table." Gray sighed, silently thanking the gods that he could drink, thinking it would help him cope with the second part, "So that's fourteen shots! Get going!"

He threw the drinks back as quickly as he could, ignoring the slight nausea that twisted in his stomach until he had taken all the shots required, "There you go! Done!" He slammed down his shot glass, not noticing the way his words were slightly slurred.

"Well, it looks like those drinks are stronger than they look..." Cana smirked before standing from her seat, "Now. For the next day, you need to do whatever Juvia wants and let her to anything she wants to you. You can't back out and you can't get too far from each other, so no running away!" The barrier flared white before two white bands landed on his wrist, a similar mark would appear on Juvia once she solidified.

The Ice-Make Mage looked slightly green at the thought, Juvia forming back into a person in seconds, "Oh Gray. How wonderful. We can finally go on that date you promised me! Cana, may we leave? Juvia wishes to start the twenty-four hour period immediately."

"Yeah. Have fun with him." The rune barrier parted just long enough for Juvia to haul the poor man out, disappearing into the crowd of Halloween partiers.

"Poor Gray..." Lucy sighed, feeling a heaviness as her only form of a buffer was stolen away. She spun the bottle, waiting for it to stop and smiled when it landed on the pirate of the group, "Well Cana. I want to have a group challenge. Never have I ever had sex. At all." Lucy smirked, expected at least the two youngest to not drink and could only feel her face slacken when they did indeed take shots, making her to only one...

"Wait a minute girl!" Cana slammed down her glass, eyes wide in surprise, "Are you telling me you've never been laid?"

"Well... no... I mean. My mama always told me it was something special and it would happen when it was meant to..." She could look at any of them, her face burning with embarrassment and shame, even Wendy and Romeo had gone further than she had. But she couldn't even begin to feel sad when a hand cupped her chin and lifted her head. Laxus stared down at her, a look in his eyes that she couldn't place and yet made her insides burn. His nose flared, his pupils dilating.

"There's no shame in waiting Lucy. It's not a race." It was all he could get out before a growl stole his words and he roughly let go of her, noticing that the bottle had already been spun and was already stuck on him.

"Well Laxus. I have a dare for you. And the other participant can't pull out." Cana gave the two blondes a wicked grin, the glint in her eyes making her look mad, "I dare you, to lick Lucy. I don't care where. But it needs to be for a minute."

"What? No way-" Lucy tried to protest but her choked when strong hands landed on her waist and pulled her into the Lighting Slayers lap, her back facing those at the table. Laxus didn't say anything, dipping his head to her neck, his lips pressing a peck to the junction of her skin before his tongue darted out, the flat of his tongue running all the way up to the shell of her ear. She shudded in his arms and he shifted in his seat, groaning quietly. He bit her earlobe before tracing a path back down her neck, his teeth gently scraping her skin until the faintest moan left her lips. He growled, latching his mouth to the junction of her shoulder and neck and sucked, his tongue rubbing against her and soothing the ache he caused. Lucy shifted on his lap, pressing her core against him and he bucked slightly, earning a moan from the blonde woman. He vaguely heard someone yell out that the time was up and he slowly removed himself from her, watching through lidded eyes as a trail of saliva broke. Her neck was an angry red where his lips had been and Lucy covered it with her hand, her face so red he thought she was going to pass out. His pride swelled when he noticed her panting and couldn't help but smirk when she yelped as he spun her around on his lap, his arms banding around her to keep her in place.

"Damn." Cana herself was panting, casting a needy look at Bixlow who responded by placing a hand on her neck, "I'm not going to lie... but that was fucking hot."

Even Lisanna nodded, feeling Natsu run his hands up her side.

"Yeah. Of course, it was." Laxus spun the bottle and laughed when it landed on Wendy, "Finally. Now tell me the truth Wendy, do you want to mate with Romeo?"

The Wind Slayer instantly turned red in the face, the shade quickly turning to an unhealthy shade of purple before she fainted, falling straight into Romeo's arms. The young fire mage was equally embarrassed, but he was incredibly protective of the little mage and he stood up, holding her tightly to his chest, "Cana. We're going to go."

The brunette pirate just nodded, still too caught up in what she had seen to answer, "Yeah sure... Go ahead..."

"Well this has been fun... But I think... we're going to go. Right babe?" Bixlow threw Cana over his shoulder, waiting for her to mumble out an agreement so that the barrier would fall, and he was off, his babies flying after him to clear a path through the crowd.

"What about you Natsu? When are you going to mate?" Laxus rolled his neck, lazily turning his head to look at the fire slayer, only to notice he had already disappeared, the smell of his desire still hanging in the air, "Well. I think that answers my question."

He dropped his head, nose pressed into Lucy skin as he inhaled, relishing in her own heady scent. Laxus pressed a kiss against her spine, feeling her shudder, "And what about you Lucy? Would you like to be mated?"

Again, the scent of her arousal hit him like a tonne of bricks and he groaned, feeling his pants tighten.

"W-what are you talking about Laxus? Mating requires-" It was as though a light had finally gone off in her head and she stiffened up in his arms before struggling. He allowed her to move, watching lazily as she shuffled off his lap and right off the bench. She hit the ground with a groan, a behind high in the air and he growled, grabbing hold of her hips once he twisted around on the bench. The others had long since fled the table, so he wasn't afraid of losing his head as he bent down, pressing his hips against his and grinding into her fleshy behind.

"Do you see Lucy? Once a mate is recognised, it's like an instant connection between the two." His chest pressed against her back and he wrapped an arm around her shoulders to pull her up, her knees digging into the wood floor. He tilted her head to look at him and he saw the heady look in her eyes, "It's a call that can't be ignored. Nothing else will satisfy them."

Without warning his lips attacked hers and he took advantage of her shock to plunder her mouth with his tongue. He was relentless, stealing her breath from her lungs. When he felt her become weak he pulled away, nibbling his way down her throat, "If it goes ignored long enough, the dragon loses control. And I'm not sure how much longer I can wait Lucy..."

All the small moments they'd shared since the war flashed through Lucy's mind and she sighed, relishing in the mild relief his lips brought her, but it only built a fire in her belly that only spurred on her desire.

"Laxus... I don't-" She moaned when he bit the junction he had teased earlier, embarrassed when it drew a few wondering eyes to the pair. He picked her up from the floor and threw her over his shoulder before marching through the growing crowd of people, making his way to the upper level and into his office. He barely closed the door when he pressed her against it, his lips attacking hers once more.

"You don't know-" He pecked the corner of her lips, "What's going on-" another kiss landed on her nose, "That's fine. Leave it to me. I'll make sure you don't regret it." His hands roamed up her waist, his body pinning hers to the wood, pulling his head away so he could look down at her.

"Laxus?" Lucy noticed his stare and managed to squeeze out from between him and the door. He was devouring her with his eyes. She backed away, her heeled boots clacking against the wooden floor and making his gaze snap up to meet hers. He smirked at her blush and took a step forward, and for each one he took, she took another backwards, his eyes as fierce as a predator.

She gulped audibly, feeling her body heat up at his gaze, "Laxus?" She felt like she was being hunted, his hulking form easily towering over her, his eyes a deep shade of grey that reminded her of a stormy night.

She tried to keep retreating, to put distance between them, but her back hit the wall and his long legs covered the ground between them easily. He said nothing as he stared unblinkingly down at her, the only thing telling her he was still alive for the rapid rise and fall of his chest.

"I didn't want to talk to you about it because I didn't want to think about..." His words died on his lips and he growled, his body tensing as he tried to hold himself back.

"Think about what Laxus?" His face looked pinched and she laid a hand on his chest, watching the way his head snapped to look at where their skin touched.

"Damn it Lucy." Without another word he shoved her against the wall, pinning her hands on either side of her head, "I don't deserve you. But I want you. I crave you..." He pressed his face into her neck and inhaled, something akin to a purr escaping his throat.

"L-Laxus?" She blushed, baring her neck in a half-hearted attempt to get away. But in doing so, he had full access to her throat again and he placed an open mouth kiss on her skin, his tongue caressing it. An airy moan left her throat and she increased her struggles, confused by the heat pooling in her abdomen.

He stole her breath with his ministrations, his sharp teeth barely grazing her skin and she panted, pressing her thighs together to relieve the pressure.

"I want you Lucy. I've wanted you for so long." He hissed as he pulled away, the act of leaving her body seemingly causing him pain, "I'm drawn to you like a moth to flame. I've just wanted to hold you. To protect you and make sure that you want for nothing." He took a deep breath, his cheeks colouring, and yet he refused to look away from her, practically watching the wheels in her head turning. She lifted one delicate eye brow, her mouth parting slightly and he groaned at the sight, his pants becoming uncomfortably tight.

"I don't really get all the specifics... and while I don't know you all that well, I know that I'm attracted to you. I have been for a while, since you came back to us on Tenrou... But I'd also like to get to know you more..."

He grabbed her hand and kissed it, before trailing soft pecks all the way up her arm until his hands grabbed her face, theirs noses millimetres apart, "We have our whole lives to get to know each other Lucy. There is no other for me. We mate for life."

Her breath caught and he smirked, grabbing her by the waist and pulling her against him, before lifting her up. Automatically her legs wrapped around his waist, her need for stability outweighing the embarrassing position. At first... "Um... Laxus. What-"

He pressed his lips to hers, and she was carried away by the night...

xXx Happy Halloween xXx

This was stuck in my head. For ages. Literally. I had originally wanted it out on Halloween, but I figured it was the next best thing to get it up soon after. If you want to see a lemon, let me know in a review or PM and I'll have the next part up. It was originally going to be a one shot, but I can make exceptions! Happy belated Halloween everyone!
