Be my end (Laxus X reader)

Chapter 5- More subtle

smack

"OUCH!" you yelp after being smacked on your head.

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO CUT THE DRAMA OUT?" Luca yells at you, red from anger.

"Cut it out you two. We're almost there," Makarov yawns out as the fairy tail guild hall comes into view with all its magnificence.  Even though it has changed countlessly since your time as a fairy tail wizard, it never seizes to catch your breath and make a warm feeling tingle in your fingers and toes travelling to your heart. The guild hall doors were open as usual, inviting passerby in for a meal or drink. Or to watch Mirajane's performances or even Gajeel's. You feel captivate by the aura radiating off the building and walk in. Taking a deep breath, all memories come rushing back; the good ones more than the bad ones. You open your eyes only to see...

A FREAKIN TABLE FLYING TOWARDS YOU,  about to make contact with your face. 

dodge, y/n, dodge... you order your body to move but your muscles aren't as fast as they used to be. 

Slam... Thud... You fall backwards on the floor, your back hitting the ground as the table lies in pieces next to your face. You groan in pain and turn to lie on your left side. Pushing yourself off the floor, your anger reaches its peak. The ruckus around you only adds fuel to the fire. Meaningless insults bounce off the walls along with wooden cups and glass bottles. The dust left in the wake of the wizards' daily quarrel clouds the events taking place.

You ball your hands into fists, your ears fuming. "WHO THE HELL THREW THAT TABLE?" 

Everyone freezes to their spots upon hearing your booming voice. No one dares to point a finger at the culprit.

"Fine, if you won't answer," you say as you unwrap the scarf you wore around your neck slowly. "I WILL KICK ALL YOUR ASSES. SO BE READY!" you yell at the top of your lungs; excitement shimmering in your eyes.

You jump from your spot and land in front of Natsu in a crouch. You headbutt his chin making him fall backwards. Dismissing his yelp, you round kick the person right next to him knocking him into another mage. The adrenaline pumping through your veins clouds your vision as you move too fast for your eyes to catch up. Damn it, this is what happens when i wake up before due date... you curse as you take a glass bottle in your hand and smash it on someone's back knocking the wind out of him. 

Poryalusica watches the scene unfolding in front of her red eyes and sighs. "Are you going to stop her?" she asks Makarov who, somehow, has a drink in his hand.

"No let her have her fun. Besides, that might teach these idiots not to throw stuff around aimlessly," he waves his free hand dismissively and gulps down his liquor.

"Alright that's enough," the words come out from the last person either of these two expected. Laxus walks up to you just as you were nearing the last opponent standing; a tall man with beige hair and dark eyes, you recognize him as Max Alors. 

"Why is that?" you ask lowering your fist from Max's face to your side. Turning to Laxus, you look him in the eyes and smirk. "Can't handle watching your guildmates getting their asses handed to them?" 

He maintains eye contact and you catch the slightest twitch in his shoulder muscles, "no. You have some explaining to do so get to it". He says in a monotone voice.

"That's the second time you order me around," you reply coldly and move your gaze to Makarov who's looking at you. His eyes are pleading you to let it slide. You squint your eyes at him in a this-is-the-last-time-i-will-stand-his-disrespect manner and he nods in response. "Fine whatever you say blondy". 

Laxus looks offended by the nickname but you couldn't care less.

"Alright. I'm going to say this once so clean your ears and pay attention. My name is y/n. I don't remember my last name. I go by the title of the eternal one. Address me with one of these two not by something else because I hate nicknames. As you may have deducted, I am acquainted with Makarov and Poryalusica. And that is because I am 1318 years old. Yes i know i don't look like it. I stopped aging physically at the age of 18. I am still alive thanks to the wakeless sleep cycle. I sleep for 100 years every 250 years. In other words, i am awake for 250 years and sleep for a 100 years without waking up. However, this time the cycle has been disturbed and i woke 32 years earlier. That is everything I will be sharing with you," you finish and await their minds to process the information you dumped on them. The look on their faces amuse you but the best is yet to come.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT" everyone screams in unison and their faces turn white. You place a hand on your mouth to hold the laughter in. Mavis also reacted that way when you first met. 

"1318... That's like..." Natsu counts on his fingers, "YOU'RE TOO OLD" he yells pointing at you.

"Be more respectful to your elder, Natsu," Erza hits the back of his head then addresses you, sweat pouring from every pore of her skin, "Sorry about that eternal one. Forgive his impolite behavior". 

"Even Erza is scared of her," Happy whispers to Carla who's looking at you with wide eyes.

"Sis, can she stay at fairy hills?" Lisanna asks her sister in a small voice but when Mirajane doesn't reply, you turn curiously to see where she is. Her face is white, guess her mind is still processing. "Sis, are you okay?!" Lisanna shakes her sister as the latter is mumbling repeatedly, "1...3...1...8... 1318 years old".

"hehe," you chuckle nervously as a sweat drop rolls down your forehead, "maybe i should have said it in a more subtle way..." 

"It was inevitable, sooner or later they would have known the truth about your existence. It's better they knew directly from you and not someone else," Makarov reassures you while rolling his wheelchair to your side.

"Yeah. You're right," you smile down wholeheartedly at your friend.

"So.... Ummmm..." both of you turn to the source of the stuttering. "I ap- "

"No need for apologies Laxus," you dismiss the blond giant with a wave of your hand. "Everyone! I have one more thing to say," you grab their attention. Bowing ninety degrees, you request in a pleading voice, "please treat me as your guildmate!" You stand up straight but keep looking at the floor, afraid of what their reaction.

"What?" Laxus starts.

"Of course we'll treat you as our guildmate!" Wendy exclaims excitingly taking your hands into hers.

"Yeah, there is no reason for us to treat you any differently," Lucy smiles genuinely at you.

"That was our plan from the beginning," Gray says happily, giving you a thumbs up. Erza just nods. An approval after the other causes tears to cloud your vision. You give them a closed eyes smile. 

No matter how many years passed... how many new faces pass through these doors and how many old ones leave this guild... no matter how many times the stones are rearranged... Fairy tail will always feel like home... Thanks to you Mavis.... Dear old friend...
