Laxus smiled slightly and he felt sparks shoot up his arm. he looked down at their intertwined hands and sucked in a breath. one of the many things he knew about dragon slayers was that they each had a mate, a person that they were destined to be with for their entire lives. he had read up on dragon slayers when he first got eh lacrima implanted and he remembers distinctly that one of the books said that when you meet your mate you will never want to leave their side, you will feel sparks whenever you touch, and you will love them with all of your heart from the moment you realise they are your mate. he let his gaze travel up to lucy's smiling face and he finally knew the answer to why he had wanted to follow her, why he wanted to be around her, it was because she was his soulmate. they made it onto the balcony and then he looked them and said, "Answer me this, do you dance?" he raised an eyebrow at her but nodded and she smiled then said, "Good, if I show you my favorite type of magic, you have to dance with me, deal?" he raised both eyebrows this time and then said, "Why do you want to dance with me?" she smiled and said, "Because I love dancing and the only time i get to is when we have balls for some celebration or another, so you will dance with me?" he nodded and she said, "Good." she lead him into the middle of the garden and said, "Close your eyes." he did as he said and he felt her magic swell around him.after a minute she said, "open them." he opened his eyes and he was surrounded by stars. they made Lucy's eyes sparkle and he realized he really did fall in love with her already. he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. she rested her hand on his shoulder and he had his hands on her hips. they danced and after a minute she pulled her head back and he could see a smirk playing at her lips and then she said, "How do you know how to slow dance?" Laxus shrugged and spun her then said, "My mother used to dance with me saying that i should know for when i decide to get married. I haven't danced in a long time though so..." Lucy rolled her eyes and smiled while looking at the stars and then she said, "She sounds amazing. but seriously how old were you?" she looked like she wanted to laugh and he said, "I was three when she started to dance around the house with me in her arms when my father wasn't around. she continued to dance with me up until he died." Lucy smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder then said, "I am having a hard time keeping a straight face after learning this. does your team know you can dance?" he shook his head and said, "No. you are the only one that knows." Lucy laughed and then smiled at him and said, "i am honored." he smirked and looked at the stars around them again before saying, "i should've known your favorite magic would have to do with stars. they were your thing even before you learned new magic." Lucy jabbed a finger in his side and he laughed. she smiled and since he was laughing they stopped dancing. Lucy put out a hand and the stars started to spin around them. he watched her and she then spun towards him and said, "Thank you for dancing with me." he smirked and said, "Anytime Blondie." she smirked and said, "Really?" he shrugged and said, "yeah." she smiled and turned then the stars flew back into the sky and she said, "you will regret that. because I plan i taking you up on that." he closed his eyes while shaking his head and chuckling and he thought, **you better Blondie.** then he wrapped his hands around her waist and said, "oh no you don't. you don't get to hurt me like that and get away with it." he started to tickle her sides. she was laughing and trying to get out of his grip. finally she managed to get away from him and took off running. he ran after her but she boosted her speed with her magic and hid up in one of the trees. he looked around and said, "Blondie, come out come out wherever you are." she stifled her laugh with her hand but he heard it and looked up. he smirked and said, "Come down here." she shook her head and said, "No." he raised an eyebrow and they heard evergreens squealing. lucy seemed distracted so he reached up and pulled on her foot causing her to fall down. he caught her and she had her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms wrapped around his neck and she said gave him patronizing look and said, "is that how you make all the girls fall for you?" he rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah yeah." she shivered and curled into him he pulled his coat off and wrapped it around her shoulders. she laid her head on his shoulder and said, "When did you become such a gentlemen?" he rolled his eyes and was walking back towards the house when he said, "I'm not." he felt her smiled against his shoulder and she said, "OK, whatever you need to tell yourself." she pulled herself closer to him and he tightened his hold around her and he could tell she was tired.
