Lucy placed a bouquet of arranged flowers in front of the grave of Layla Heartfilia, and proceeded to kneel in front of it. Laxus was standing a couple of feet away, his arms crossed and suddenly feeling awkward.

Turning her head towards him, Lucy smiled. "C'mon Laxus, I want to introduce you."

He sighed, but went to kneel next to Lucy nonetheless. Lucy decided to take Laxus to her mother's grave, for him to meet one of the most important people in Lucy's life. Of course, Laxus agreed, knowing it would make Lucy happy.

"Hi Mum," Lucy began, her voice soft, and Laxus went to hold her hand in his. "I'm sorry, it's been a while. I hope you're well. Um… this is Laxus, my boyfriend. I just wanted you two to meet…"

Laxus could recognise that Lucy's voice suddenly become rough, and knew she was trying to hold back her tears.

"I really love him, Mum…" Laxus heard Lucy's voice crack and tightened his hold on her hand. "And he loves me so you don't have to worry. We both are really happy."

A light breeze swept passed the two of them for a moment, and quickly left.

They sat there for a while, Lucy started to talk to her mother again while Laxus sat next to her, content to be silent. He let Lucy have a moment with her mother, it was important to her.

Suddenly, Lucy let go of Laxus' hand to rub her eyes, and he wrapped his arm around Lucy's shoulders as a means of comfort.

Lucy smiled. "Thanks, Laxus."

"No problem." Laxus replied, his voice low.

Standing up, Lucy dusted her clothes and Laxus stood up after her. Lucy looked at him. "I think we should go." Lucy turned to face her mother's grave. "Bye Mum, I'll see you the next time I come here."

She smiled, and slowly walked away.

Laxus stayed standing in front of the grave, he smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I'll take care of her."

Another light breeze swept passed him, and his shoulders that he unknowingly tensed had relaxed.

"Laxus?" Lucy called, and Laxus turned and quickly walked to catch up to her.

"Let's go." Laxus said, and grabbed Lucy's hand to hold in his. As they walked away from the grave, Laxus was content to say that Layla Heartfilia had always watched over her daughter, and he would make sure that he didn't go back on his word to her
