LaLu ~ Unexpected Love

So?

Lucy's POV

I skipped out my apartment, my handbag swinging back and forth on my shoulder as I make my way to Fairy Tail, a massive grin on my face. The day sky fades into a dark navy, as the streetlights are being lit automatically. There in the centre of the Magnolia sits the enthusiastic bar, that holds a family which no-one could ever begin to understand.

I push open the door, and just manage to dodge a chair hurtling in the air. Yet no-one notices and continues to fight, drink and laugh. A red-head waves from the balcony and I run up the wooden stairs and into her arms.

"Erza!" I beam.

"Luce!" She beams, ruffling my hair. "Come on, we need to talk!"

"Is everyone here?"

"What do you think Lucy?" Juvia grins from her seat in the booth. "Miss a chance to catch up with everyone else, are you kidding me?"

"You always were the attitudey one Juvia!" Mira laughs, holding a wine glass.

"And you're the meddling one Mira!" Lisanna elbows her sister.

"Lisanna you can't say anything!" Cana slurs. "You were her apprentice."

"How much have you drunk?" I squeal, sitting next to the brunette.

"More than Gramps!" Levy sighs, gesturing the Makarov who was challenging poor Gray. "Poor Gray, another victim."

"Let's hope that Lyon was rescue him at some point." Juvia smirks.

"You're his girlfriend!" Erza bursts out laughing. "You're so evil!"

"Revenge for when he didn't save me." She shrugged her shoulders carelessly. 

"Luce, you didn't tell me about your love life at work. Now you can!" Levy grinned slyly, and all the girls were looking at me eagerly. 

"Levy, I hate you." I bang my head on the table.

"Ooooh!" Lisanna and Mira sang in unison.

"Let me get a drink first." I left them to their gossiping, and I strolled downstairs to the bar. I heard the doors open, but didn't pay attention.

"Lucy, how've you been my dear?" Makarov asked, handing me my specialty: The Fiery Heart.

"My job's the same as always." I take the drink and hand over a note, before walking back to my friends.

"Oh my!" Makarov gasped, tears forming in his eyes. 

"Hey old man!" A yellow haired man chirped from behind me. 

"My boy!" I peer over my shoulder, and smile at the sweet reunion; Makarov leapt into Laxus' arms, hugging him tightly. 

"Come on Makarov!" Erza chuckled from the balcony, grabbing everyone's attention. "Stop being so sappy, and get back to drinking!"

"ERZA!" I yell, laughing. 

"LUCY GET UP HERE NOW, AND TELL US ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE!" Levy yells next to Erza.

"LUCY HAS A LOVE LIFE?" Bisca laughs sarcastically from the other side of the room.

Laxus' POV

"She sure does." I approach her, grabbing a hold of her face.

"Laxus, what are you doing?" She stutters, flushing an adorable red.

"I haven't been able to get you off my mind today." I smile, caressing her cheek with a single finger.

Suddenly my lips are on hers and she doesn't pull away. We can hear her friends squealing and loud footsteps thundering down the stairs. When we do pull apart, three pairs of hands are on her body, and drag Lucy up the stairs, demanding all sorts of questions. 

I smirk, and my friends keep yelling at me for questions.

"Laxus, you knew the artist!" Gajeel punches me on the arm, leading me upstairs, searching for a free booth.

"He knew the artist all right!" Wendy giggled.

"Wendy!" I hiss.

"I may have gone through your phone after lunch." She batted her eyes innocently. "She drew you very well. She could possibly design a few of our album covers!"

"That sounds like a plan!" Eric pats my back, sitting down in a booth. When we're all sat down I keep noticing Gajeel staring at the short bluenette sat with Lucy. Alongside, I see Natsu keep glancing at the white short-haired girl sat with Lucy also.

"Gajeel, you interested in the short bluenette then?" I smirk, as a tint of pink rises on his cheeks.

"Shut it!" He growls, staring at the floor.

"And Natsu, you keep staring at someone in particular."

"Laxus, please don't." Natsu whimpers pathetically, taking a sip of his bar.

"I can ask Lucy to introduce them."

"Wait really?" Gajeel slams his fist against the table, shaking our drinks.

"Yeah, hang on." I pull out my phone, and begin to text her.

Laxus :You think you could introduce your friends to mine. Mine are interested in some of them.

Lucy :No problem!

Laxus :Thank you! 

Lucy :Anytime.

Laxus :Anyways can I take you on a date at some point this week?

Lucy :I don't know, can you?

Laxus :Don't tease me!

Lucy :Well you already kissed me in front of my crazy friends, so why not? It sounds fun!

Laxus :Cool, we're coming over right now!

"She'll introduce you!" I beam after a long conversation with her; they all look very anxious about the subject.

"Seriously!" Natsu exclaims nervously.

"Yeah, come on then." I get out the booth, and everyone is following me.

"Hey Laxus!" Lucy beams, a smile on her face. "These are my friends; the red head is Erza; the short bluenette is Levy!"

"I'm not that short!" She pouts, looking at Gajeel, giving him a small wave, which he returns.

"Anyways," Lucy continues, "The long white haired girl is MiraJane, and the short white haired girl is Lisanna; the tall bluenette is Juvia, she's already taken; the drunk brunette is Cana. And that's everyone."

"It's nice to meet you." Gajeel exclaims, slightly blushing. 

"And these fine gentlemen are?" MiraJane smirks.

"Calm down girl, you have a boyfriend at work, who'll be waiting for you at home." Lucy smiles.

"Okay, I'm Laxus." I smile at all of them. "The other blonde is Sting."

"Hiya." He winks at them playfully.

"The black haired emo is Rogue."

"I'm not an emo." Rogue pouts.

"The blue haired girl is Wendy."

"Evening." She smiles politely.

"The purple haired one is Eric." He doesn't say anything. "The other raven haired one is Gajeel. And finally the pink haired one is Natsu."

"Hey Gajeel, gimme your phone." Levy exclaims, and he does like she asks. A couple of seconds later she hands it back, and he grins. 

"I didn't even have to ask you." He laughs sending her a quick message.

And we laugh, drink and dance in my home.
