Love Of A Dragon Slayer

Heartbreak

I got up early, like I always did, and headed to the Guild after showering and getting dressed in my usual attire.

And as usual, I was the first of the Thunder Legion to arrive. Although, I really wish I hadn't. Because, there at the bar, was a huge crowd surrounding Mirajane and Laxus. My heart started racing at the sight of Laxus' tall, muscular body.

The crowd was pushing Laxus and Mirajane about when they were going to get together, when Laxus was going to work up the nerve to ask her out, stuff like that.

"I honestly don't know....!" Laxus started.

"Why don't we just go out on our first date now, huh.......boyfriend?" Mirajane said, jumping onto his back, arms around his neck.

"Um, ok?" Laxus said.

My heart stopped right then. I lowered my head, looking at the floor, tears started welling up in my eyes. Before I knew what was happening, I found myself running from the Guild, tears were now streaming down my face. I ran all the way home and when I got back, I locked the front door, then bolted upstairs.

I locked myself in my room, I lived alone in a house I owned, I flopped down on my bed, and just cried my eyes out into my pillow. How could Laxus do this to me? I love him, and he goes and breaks my heart by agreeing to go out on a date with Mirajane, only because there was a crowd and she was just playing along with them.

"How could you do this to me Laxus? I gave you my heart and you go and do this to me!" I mumbled to myself.

After hours of crying and sulking, I managed to get myself up and out of bed. I looked at myself in my full body mirror, my eyes were really red, my cheeks were a bit swollen and puffy, and my long, light green hair was tangled and a mess.

"I really need to clean up, don't I!?" I muttered to myself. I managed to muster up a small smile. I went into my bathroom, ran a warm bath, got undressed, took out the hair tie at the bottom of my hair, and slipped into the warm water.

I laid in the warm water, trying to ease my mind off of my heart break, but my mind kept going back to Laxus. Tears began welling up in my eyes again. I pulled my knees up to my chest, held them close, tight, and cried into them.

As I cried, images of Laxus raced through my mind. Images of his naked body, images of his sweet, warm, caring gray eyes, his beautiful smile, one genuine and playful, gentle, his big, gentle, comforting arms wrapped around me, him whispering in my ear with his husky and yet gentle voice, and his warm breath again my face or neck while I cuddled against his large, stable chest, raising and falling.

I was bolted out of my thoughts by a huge bang on my front door down stairs. I quickly washed up, got dressed, brushed my hair and tied it up at the bottom, and I went downstairs. I checked who it was, it was Evergreen and Bickslow.

"Hey guys! What do you want?" I asked, not wanting to sound to upset or to cruel.

"Why'd you disappear on us today? When we got to the Guild, you weren't there, and you're always there before us!" Bickslow said.

"Yeah!" Evergreen agreed, nodding.

My mind went blank. I didn't know what to tell them. Should I tell them the truth? I didn't think I could. What would I say? 'Hey guys, I'm in love with Laxus and I'm heartbroken because not only did he agree to go out on a date with Mirajane, but to being called her boyfriend!' I didn't think so.

"Freed!" Bickslow stated, breaking me from my thoughts.

"Yeah!?" I said.

"Why'd you not show up?" Evergreen asked.
