Lucy and Laxus

I don't Own fairy tail

Chapter 1

(Lucy's POV)

The events of Tenrou Island had changed everyone in Fairy Tail. Though the ones that were on the island didn't age the ones that remained with the guild aged and when we returned we could tell. I guess I am getting ahead of myself, and you are probably wondering how we all survived that fateful encounter with acnologia and how we never aged. We had gone to Tenrou Island to have the s-class exams. Cana had succeeded in getting fairy glitter, but a dark guild, known as Grimoire Heart, were after Zeref the mysterious boy some of our members found wandering around the island. The attack had triggered another one from acnologia. In an attempt to spare or lives the first master Mavis sealed us in time barrier for 7 years. When I woke I found Laxus had shielded my body from a blow that was would have been caused by a boulder that now lay in rubble around us. I was shocked and from the look on his face he wasn't shocked but relieved that I was okay. Something inside me stirred and I was happy that Laxus was relieved at my safety, and I had quietly thanked him for it.

After that day things were different and people seen us differently. It took Erza, Mira, Master, and few other members to get Orge off our backs and stop demanding payments that were no longer required. Master made Gildarts the new master and Gildarts reinstated Laxus, but turned the guild back over to third Master. It's been 1 month since our return and now here I sit in the small guild hall that we were forced into, and I would catch Laxus giving me glance or two. After Laxus helped save me from the infinity clock by battling against the reborn Oración Seis, but it had been Natsu that saved me from the deadly fall. A lot of things had changed. Now that we sit here, I don't know what to say to him. I know that this man was someone important to me. Now the grand magic games were upon us and none of use were ready for this to happen. We all knew that we wanted to compete and prove that fairy tail was the best guild around.

"Lucy, are you alright?" Laxus came up to me and asked me with a concerned voice.

"Yeah I am fine, just thinking about things." I replied.

"Care to elaborate?" Laxus asked.

"I'm. To ready for the games. I need to train and team Natsu has decided to go to the beach to train." I replied.

"I don't really see how the last part could get you in such an uproar." Laxus said.

"Well that is just it, I need intense training." I said and looked at Laxus.

"Then why don't you let the Thunder Legion join you." Laxus said with a smile.

"Are you seriously saying that you would come with us and help us train?" I asked.

"I will help you train, I don't know about the others. Maybe my teammates will help them." He replied.

"Why are you only willing to train me?" I asked.

"Simple I like you Lucy, that and you have more potential then what most people give you credit for. As a Celestial Wizard your power knows no bonds. I can't teach you much, but I know that I can show you how to maintain your magic for longer periods of time." Laxus replied.

"You like me?" I asked. Laxus didn't say anything in response just started to walked away.

"I would be happy if you train me." I said and Laxus stopped in his tracks.

"When does team Natsu leave?" He asked.

"We leave today, and if the Thunder Legion is going to join us then you need to buy your own train tickets." Natsu said as he came up to me with Lisanna behind him holding his hand.
