Together

Chapter 43

Two days later~

"What the hell happened here?" Evergreen asked, her bags dropping to the ground.

The villa was in complete disarray with sheets and towels everywhere as well as torn apart pillows. There were dishes in the sink and the carpets on the floor were either crumpled or out of place. A few lamps were knocked down onto the floor as well as a dirty apron.

"Seems like a typhoon just passed through here," Freed commented, bending down to inspect the mess.

"Could it be that a robber broke in?" Happy paled.

"More like there were two people going wild in here," Bickslow laughed.

As if to confirm it, Lucy came rushing down the stairs with a panicked expression. She was wearing a champagne colored one-piece dress with a bow sash around her waist. Her dress flowed behind her as she came down to greet them, an uneasy look on her face.

"You guys are back!" she exclaimed, relieved.

"Mind telling us what happened?" Carla asked, eyeing the villa suspiciously.

Lucy sighed. "That you have to ask Laxus."

She waved a hand and in a second, everything in the villa returned to how it normally looked. The carpets, dishes, sheets, towels, and apron were washed, cleaned, and returned to their original space. The lamps were set back onto the tables while the pillows were replaced with new ones of the same design. It was as if nothing had happened.

"Who said that this was all my fault?" Laxus asked as he came down the stairs.

"Laxus!" Freed exclaimed in joy.

"No one said that it was your fault," Lucy replied honestly. "I just merely said that they should ask you as to how this mess even occurred."

"Well, I have nothing to say then," Laxus answered.

Lucy stopped what she was doing and stared at him, her eyes wide with bewilderment at what he had just said. She pouted and glared at the pillow before her. Laxus smirked. The reason why the villa was a mess was that each waking hour, no matter where they were in the villa, Laxus desired to continue fucking her. Freed, Evergreen, Bickslow, Happy, Carla, and Lily had more and less of an idea as to how this had happened and they were pretty much on point.

"Laxus really is a beast," they all said, looking at him with shameful eyes.

"Do you guys want to fight?" he raised his voice, a tick mark growing on his head. Each time they came back, the six of them just seemed to degrade him to that of a lowly beast.

The six of them glared at Laxus and vice versa, sending sparks flying throughout the room. Lucy stared at them before sighing. If she wasn't going to intervene, the villa really will be turned upside down.

"L-Laxus, stop," Lucy pulled him back, her arms around his waist.

Laxus stared at her with a satisfactory smile swept onto his lips. Having Lucy hug him from behind was a new feeling. She was small compared to him so her hugging him was awkward and because of that, he found it amusing.

"So, it's rare for you guys to come back early," Lucy said. "Is there something going on?"

"We got a lacrima call from Master," Lily answered. "Seems like he misses us."

"It has been several months since we've seen him, too," Evergreen added.

"So how about going back to Magnolia for a while? At the same time, we can do missions as usual. There's no loss for us," Carla said.
