Laxus X Reader: Renegade

Departure

"I'll see you guys soon, don't miss me too much!"

A group stood at the guild entrance with Y/N ready to set off on her mission. Y/N wore her usual outfit of black and more black, but Laxus smiled when he saw the glitter of yellow around her neck. His smile quickly turned into a frown. Something about this mission was unsettling to Laxus. It involved working with the magic council to go undercover taking down a dark guild in a city that was being controlled my its' magicians. It would approximately take two months. 

He pulled master Makarov to the side and whispered, "You have to let me go with her, something about this job is making me uneasy, gramps." 

"No child, two S class mages are not needed for this, besides it is not up to me, the magic council asked for her specifically for her stealth.  Ask Y/N if you can accompany her, ultimately it's her choice." 

Laxus turned away, facing the direction of the H/Ced mage, listening to the conversation going on across the guild. There was a trace of a smile on her face as she teased Natsu and Gray, "No way, you're too weak."She stuck her tongue out at Natsu. The red haired wizard stomped around as a show of bravado, " I'M NOT WEAK."

"Gray, try to keep your clothes on, bud. The ladies will love you even more if you don't strip every 5 minutes. " He scowled at her but his body betrayed him as he was no longer wearing clothes. 

"Come back safe, okay?" Mira hugged Y/N.

"She'll be fine, she is S class like us." Erza gleamed as she hung her arms around both wizards necks. 

Y/N broke off from the group and approached the blond, who was seemingly lost in though. 

"I swear you only have three facial expressions: annoyingly amused, angry or confused."  

"Which one am I doing now?" He smirked at Y/N.

"and theeeeere he is." Y/N laughed, it was a warm laugh that brought new life in the room. 

Her presence would be missed, especially by a certain lightening wizard, though he would not admit it. He was rather fond of the wizard before him, someone he considered a true friends. There was not a lot of people Laxus could talk to and be himself around, but she was definitely one of them.  

Ask her to go with her. Laxus mentally slapped himself. You've done jobs together before, why is it so hard to ask this time. What has changed? 

Laxus' face grew warm as he flushed red, he needed to get out of here before someone saw. 

"Uh, good luck on your job."  He turned around and walked to the second floor. 

"Thanks I guess" Y/N said confused, unsure if he heard her. 

With that, Y/N set off on her journey.

--

Two days passed, and those days turned to two months and soon  to two years. 

As much as Laxus believed that the members of fairy tail should be able to look out for themselves, he still worried.  In fact, he worried so much that he sneaked off under the guise of missions to looks for Y/N. 

Laxus was filled with so much rage.

Why hadn't the old man let him go? Another reason to hate this weak guild. He was more mad at himself for not asking to go when he had the opportunity but let his hate grow towards the guild. 

Why didn't I just go with her? 

A/N: Kinda short I knowww, but I have a stats midterm tomorrow and I really wanted to get an update in. ILY guys, thanks for reading :)
