I decided to make this a two-shot, so enjoy!

It was the next morning, and Lucy had just woken up, much to her dismay. She had been snuggled into the fur coat all night long and good god was it comfy, she was seriously contemplating stealing it. As much as she desperately wanted to take it and hide it where Laxus would never find it, okay, he probably would find it no matter where she put it because of his heightened senses, anyway, she couldn't. Laxus was just being a good guildmate and making sure she didn't get hypothermia. Lucy wished that it was more, but reality loved to hate her existence. Today, she was going to get up, get dressed, go to the guild, give Laxus his coat and then run as far as possible to avoid any embarrassment. Sounded like a plan.

Lucy did not like Laxus in any way! It was just a small interest, that's all. Nothing romantic. Oh, who was she kidding? Of course she liked Laxus, I mean who wouldn't? Sure, he was an asshole in the past, but he's changed and not that he would ever admit to anyone, he loved his nakama now. Laxus was her ideal man, gorgeous, sort of a bad boy, not annoying and most importantly his coat could rival Aries wool, and boy was that saying something.

Eventually, she actually got up instead of procrastinating, despite her brain screaming at her to avoid the guild. Shrugging the coat of so she could have a shower, Lucy was surprised about how empty she felt without it and it felt like all the warmth she had, had been ripped from her entirely. She shivered and then hopped into the shower, to regain her warmth, but the warmth she got from the hot water just wasn't the same.

Lucy stood by her wardrobe for what felt like an eternity, trying to decide which outfit she should wear. Most days she just picked one and left, but her inner self knew why she was taking so long. To impress Laxus. That thought along made her want to bash her head on the stupid wardrobe door. She settled on a simple black skirt, paired with black tights, and a pink flowery sweater. Of course, she topped it off with his coat and then she left.

The walk to the guild had anxiety bubbling in her stomach, she just couldn't stop thinking about him after yesterday. Argh. Why did he have to be such a sweetheart and lend her his oddly comfy coat. What would even happen when she arrived to the guild? Would he zap her and demand for his coat back? Of course he wouldn't, he wasn't like that anymore and Lucy scolded herself for thinking it. Although, she couldn't stop wondering if he would be angry at her for not giving it back sooner. Maybe Mira would pressure her into telling her about how she felt about Laxus. The guild doors came int view, and her heart raced about ten times faster than usual, and then Laxus would know she was nervous, so it sped up even more if that was possible. Deep breath. She opened the doors, and was relieved to find no Laxus or Mira yet.

Sighing, she sat down with Laxus' coat still on which nobody had yet to realise, and smiled to herself thinking that all that worrying was a waste of time. All of a sudden, the coat was lifted of her back, causing her eyes to widen at the lack of warmth. She turned arond, with a harsh scowl written on her face.

"HEY! Wha-," Lucy's face paled as she saw Laxus Dreyar now in front of her, with his eyebrow raised in amusement.

"Uh, hey Laxus." She tried to smile.

"Yo. Just taking back what's mine."

"Uh, please don't be mad at me your coat is just so comfy and when it's on me I feel so warm and like I feel safe and I should probably thank you now and stop talking." Her hand clamped over her mouth in shock and mortification that she had just told him all that. Her life was officially over.

"Blondie, it's fine. Keep it for a little while longer." He then continued to drape it back over her, she was so happy that she stopped thinking and leaned up and took his face into her small hands and then their lips melted into each other. Afterwards, they both stood there staring at each other with shock at the electricity that they had both felt, though their expressions soon turned into big smiles with blushes adorning their cheeks.

'Cute.'
