Slayer

Tension

Laxus watched Arvis play with Rafa the fox she'd found. He tried to focus on Rafa and not on Arvis as lately Laxus had been feeling just a bit frustrated.
Things had seemed to be going in the right direction but then she found Rafa and now she spent most of her time on him.
Today Laxus found her looking especially tempting. She wore skin tight black shorts, a white crop top that a cut out in the middle showing off cleavage, and heeled boots. Her pale green hair had big waves in it and Lucy had done her make up.

Gajeel was currently talking with her. She chatted absentmindedly, playing with Rafa while talking with him.
Gajeel leaned forward slightly and Arvis giggled. Laxus clenched his fist.
Gajeel smirked at her. He watched the couple subtly making sure Gajeel made no move on her.
Natsu and Gajeel had been persistent in bugging her about training them. Laxus was a bitter curious what she knew about Lightning Dragon Slayer magic.

In the midst of their conversation Jet and Droy ran over and began singing to her. Arvis, Rafa, and Gajeel froze and listened to them.

Laxus was furious watching them try to impress her.
When they were done Gajeel scoffed and stood up. "You call that singing." He spun and he'd changed into his white suit and held his guitar. He strummed a cord and began singing.

When he finished Arvis clapped smiling. Gajeel bowed and changed back.

Laxus was sitting by the bar trying to forget about his raging hard on for her by drinking mug after mug. He growled to himself at all the men that kept hitting on her.
"Laxus?" called a sweet voice. He looked over and Mira was blurry in his eyes. He grunted as his response. He hadn't been this drunk in a while. "You've been drinking all day. I think you've had enough."
He grunted and turned back to face the bar. "I'm fine" he mumbled in a haze. He took another long chug.

He kept on drinking.
"I'm sorry Laxus but I'm not giving you anymore" the white and maroon blur said strictly.
He slammed his hand on the bar and yelled an unintelligent growl of words.
A hand came down in his shoulder. He swung his arm to push them off but they caught his arm.
He sighed as a slim arm wrapped around his side. "Come on Laxus" cooed a sweet voice.
Laxus rose from his seat and stumbled. Everything seemed slanted and spinning.
"Mira" he mumbled. "Take me to my room."
"That's where I'm taking you" she said after a pause.
He grunted. Laxus put his big arm over her shoulders.
"You're drunk" he said.
She giggled, "No Laxus, you're drunk."
"That's what I said."
They slowly made their way up the stairs slowly.
He sighed sadly. "Arvis is too pretty" he slurred.
"Hmmm?"
"All the guys like her" he blabbed. "But she's mine."
"Oh?"
Drunk Laxus smirked. "Don't be dim Mira. She smiles the brightest at me." Laxus was silent until they reached the top of the stairs. "Right? You think Arvis likes me right?"
"Of course she does. You make her very happy."
Laxus stumbled hard and fell to the ground, groaning as he laid there.
"Are you okay?"
He groaned, "I'm fine" muffled by the floor.
She tried to pick him up but Laxus was a limp sack of potatoes lying there. She pulled but he was heavy. "Laxus, get up" she groaned, straining.
"No. Leave me here."
She sighed. "Don't be dumb."
"No" he mumbled like a stubborn child.

Arvis sighed silently.
Laxus had mistaken her for Mira and just went with it not really expecting his little confession.
She wanted to kick him for being so stubborn and for getting so drunk he could barely walk.
He mumbled something unintelligible.
"What?" she asked.
"Get Arvis" he mumbled.
Arvis looked around confused. "Okay" she said uncertainly.
She quickly walked down the stairs, waited a moment, and then stomped back up them.

She went to where he still lay slumped on the ground. He'd turned around and looked up at the guild ceiling.
"What're you doing?" she asked a bit harshly.
"I fell" he said drunkenly.
"So get the fuck up!"
He smirked lifting himself up slightly. "I'm really drunk" he slurred.
"That'll happen when you drink all day." She leaned down and wrapped her arms around him. "You better help me, or I'll kick your ass tomorrow."
She felt as he helped ever so slightly.

She lifted him and began hauling him towards his room.
"I miss you" he muttered.
"I haven't gone anywhere" she said.
"Since you found Rafa you spend all your time with him."
"Don't tell me you're jealous of a fox?" she said mockingly.
"I'm jealous of anyone that gets your love."
"Laxus" she mumbled.

Suddenly Laxus wrapped his arms around her, and picked her up off her feet.
"Laxus" she said apprehensively.
He carried her stumbling down the hall. She became worried as he stumbled from side to side of the hall down towards his room.
Laxus crashed through his door and fell onto his bed, crushing her under his larger body.
"Laxus!" she said struggling. "Get off! You're crushing me!"
He rolled off of her, keeping his arms around her. She was curled to his chest.
"Let go of me" she demanded.
Laxus took a deep breath.
She looked at his face and his eyes were closed and he looked like he was asleep.
"Sleep with me. Give me tonight" he said half asleep.
Arvis sighed relaxing in his arms. He was warm.

Laxus woke up with an awful head ache. His eyes cracked open and his room was bright with the sun's rays.
He took a deep breath and then exhaled.
But then something moved.
Arvis was in his bed sleeping with him.
His eyes widened. She looked beautiful to him, sleeping curled up next to him.
His eyes traveled down and saw that she wore a tank top. His nose bled at the sight of her cleavage up against his chest.
He quickly tried to stop his nosebleed, grabbing his nose.
"If you get any blood on me I'll kick your ass" Arvis grumbled sleepily.
"Sorry" he mumbled.
Arvis opened her eyes a crack. She took a deep breath and moved closer nuzzling his chest.
"Is it time to get up already?"
"Mhmm"Laxus hummed. "My head is pounding."
"You drank all day yesterday. I'm surprised you even woke up."
She reached up and began massaging his head.
He groaned loving the feeling of her fingers massaging his pounding head. She took away his head ache.

When they went downstairs Laxus' eyes were glued to her ass. It looked great in her shorts.
They got food and sat down at a table.
They were eating when Elfman came over smirking. "Did you learn how to stand again?"
Laxus furrowed his brows. "What do you mean?"
Elfman snickered and walked off.
Laxus looked at Arvis who was eating a bowl of cereal. "You don't remember?"
He shook his head. "You were so drunk last night you couldn't walk."

Laxus nodded. That made sense to Laxus. It would explain how she ended up in his bed.

Later Laxus was talking with Freed when Mira came over.
"Are you feeling better Laxus?"
He nodded. "Tell me what happened last night!"
Mira chuckled. "Well you were so drunk last night you needed help to your room." She giggled again. "You thought I was helping you but it was actually Arvis."
Laxus blushed. "I didn't say anything did I?"
"Do you want the truth or a lie?"
Laxus hid his face under his hand. "The truth."
"Well I only heard a little bit but you talked about how pretty she was, and then you talked about how she was yours. Then you fell down upstairs. You then demanded to have Arvis help you, so she ran down the stairs and back up."
"Fuck" Laxus swore.
He got up and found Arvis feeding Rafa and talking with Lucy.
"Arvis, we need to talk." He picked up Rafa who struggled at being forcibly taken from her. He was put in Lucy's surprised arms.
Lucy gently grabbed him and the bottle.
He threw Arvis over his shoulder and walked out.
Rafa yipped and growled at him. Laxus saw him jump from Lucy's arms.
"What are you doing?" Arvis asked calmly.
"We need to talk" he repeated.
He took her outside and shut the door behind him, and right in Rafa's face. The little fox yipped and whimpered being cut off from her.
"Why are you being mean to Rafa?" she asked.
"I'm not being mean. We need to be alone."
They sat at a table outside.
"Okay talk" she commanded.
"Mira told me I might have said a few things last night about you."
Arvis smirked. "I didn't realize you were so possessive over me. Even jealous of a fox."
Laxus' cheeks turned pink. "Here's how it is Arvis. No more bullshit." He looked deeply into her eyes. They were stunning in the sunlight. "I like you. I want to be with you. I've been waiting for you to make your decision but you haven't said anything for over a month. I need to know."
Arvis looked down. Her hands fiddled. "I like you too."
"But what's your decision."
"I want to be with you."

Laxus smiled.  "Good."
Laxus grabbed her and moved her closer so he could gently press his lips to her.
