Chapter 1

-Hey, guys! Why don't we go on a mission? - Lucy asked Natsu and Gray as she showed them a sheet.

-Ok, what is the mission you chose? - Natsu asked Lucy.

-We should find a pair of matching rings which are hidden in a big forest. It is written in this sheet that it have magical powers but only wizards with pure heart and strong feelings can find them. There are many fake rings but the real ones would glow in blue or red when you put them on. And I don't know why but the reward is really big. It's 1,000,000 yens. - Explained Lucy.

But Lucy, this is mission for two people. The rings are two and it would be easier to divide the reward if only two wizards go on this mission.- told her Gray.

Yeah, but...- Lucy couldn't finish her sentence as master Macarov yelled out,, Shut up everyone''. Everybody stopped talking and looked towards the master of the guild.

-There would be some changes in the guild. As I want to improve the team working of all people in the guild I will make new teams. You will be with your new team for a month and then you can have for teammates the people you want to. The new teams are already chosen. I will post a sheet so you can see your new team for a month. Oh, and one more thing. Your new team will be from only two people as I want you to become stronger. - As Macarov finished talking all the people in the guild were looking with wide eyes towards him. Then for a moment it was silent. After Macarov disappeared somewhere it all burst out. Everybody was talking and groans of disappointment could be heard everywhere.

-Why the hell is all that? - Shouted Grey. I don't wanna change my team!

-Ok, let's go and see our new teammates.- said Lucy as she sighed. As she saw who was going to be her partner she nearly fainted. Her eyes widened from the shock. Her partner for the next month would be Laxus Dreyar! She didn't know much about him but she knew that he had done some bad things in his past.

-I am with Gray-sama! - yelled Juvia with happiness as she hugged Gray. He tried to escape but it was pointless. After some minutes came Natsu yelling that his partner would be Wendy.

Laxus' POV

That would be ineteresting. The Blondie is my partner now- thought Laxus as he smirked deviously.

Normal POV

Evergreen was crying her eyes out because she had to be partner with someone else but not Laxus, Bickslow and Freed. Freed was really pale when he heard the news. Bickslow smirked when he found out who would be his new partner.

Lissana.

Lucy's POV

What am I going to do? I should be strong. I shouldn't fear. I nearly screamed as I feeled someone's precense behind me. I turned only to see Laxus' disinterested face.

-You are pretty strained, aren't you? - He asked me keeping his face emotionless.

-I just nodded, not able to say a word. Then he looked at my hand expecting something. I understood that he wanted me to give him the sheet. I did it. After he read it he said only,,ok''.

When it was already dark outside I said goodbye to Levy who I was talking with and set out for my home. After I left the guild I felt someone was standing behind me. I turned and saw Laxus. I was shocked and I didn't expect to see him. He looked at me.

-Why so nervous around me? I can smell your fear- he asked rolling his eyes.

-I just stood there and didn't say a word. After a moment he asked me new question.

-Am I that scary? - He said with a little bit sadness in his voice. He turned back his irritated look on his face almost immediately. Then for my surprise I answered him.

-It's not that. I am just not used to talking with you and I really wouldn't want to say something that would make you angry. -I said while looking at the ground. As I picked up my stare I was suprised to see a shocked look on his face. Maybe he really didn't expect me to say that.

Laxus' POV

So she's just shy and doesn't talk much to someone she doesn't know well. I didn't expect it. I turned back the usual look on my face fast so she couldn't see my shock. I barely knew her but I thought she would fear me or run away from me. But indeed she talked to me.

Lucy's POV

I knew that he had done some bad things and I remembered about that time when the guild wanted his help but he refused. And I also knew that he was sorry. He made up for his mistakes on the GMG so it was okay. I admired him because of his strenght and the way he was protecting the people who were important to him. And even if this sort of thoughts have never crossed my mind before I really thought he was sexy. He was tall and muscular and he was one of the most popular men in Fiore.

-That's interesting- he said while staring at me.

-What ...- I couldn't finish my question as he answered me.

-The face which you make when you are lost in your thoughts.

Before I could say anything he told me :,,I will walk you home''. I couldn't say anything as I just glared at him. He set out for my home but I just stood there and didn't make a move.

-Are ya comin'?- he turned back to ask.

-Yeah... - I just said.

Normal POV

It was a really pretty night for a walk. The streets were quiet. The air was warm. The sky was clear and the stars were visible. They were walking in silence. But it wasn't awkward. Lucy and Laxus were lost in their own thoughts. When they already were in front of the door of Lucy's home, Lucy turned to say goodbye to him but when she turned around he wasn't there. She just sighed and walked in her bedroom. Then she nearly passed out. Laxus was lying on her bed with a devious grin on his face. Then he spoke:

Don't worry. I am not going to do anything... Unless you want me to.

-Lucy was really shocked. She didn't know he was that sort of person. She sighed again and went to the bathroom. As she was about to open the door Laxus ran from the bed to where Lucy was standing and caught her by suprise. She turned around only to see his curious look.

-W..what is it? Is there a problem? I don't want to be rude but could I ask why are you still in my home. I.. I mean I don't have a problem with it but I was just curious. You can stay as long as you want , of course.- Lucy mumbled while looking at the ground. Laxus didn't make a move, he just stood there shocked again by her answer.
