A step towards you (Re-write Story)

Wass Forest

Prewvious chapter

The realization came to his mind when he thought about that he even didn't deserve to be at good health. The celestial Mage, even know he could handle the battle have put his life as a priority. Something he never had done for anyone.

'Fuck, I wanted to know her better. I was joking when I said I wanted her to be mine. Well I wanted her. But, will she want me?' He looked at the tiny celestial mage under the blankets.

"Maybe you're still a newbie as a Mage. But you aren't the same weak person I thought you were, not after that fight style you have!"

He grabbed Lucy and pulled her near him to warm her with his body in a close embrace.

"Stay alive, Blondie." He whispered, keeping an eye on the girl's vitals whilst catching some sleep for himself.

Present

The first flashlight entered the wooden hut through the holes that the passage of time had gnawed. Indeed, the cabin was not cold and was an also comfortable place, for the two mages that were sleeping peacefully on the bed next to each other.

It was a hard night for Lucy, because she almost have drown herself on that freezing lake, in atempt to help his partner on the fight against de Vulcans.

After they we're safe thanks to Acuarious and Laxus, who brought her to the cabin using his lightning, Lucy was painfully freezing because of the cold water and all her wetting clothes.

Laxus in atempt to warm her, he made a fireplace using his magic and stripped down only with his boxes and did the same with her partner and embraced her on the bed during the night. He was beyond afraid, that she could die because of his stupidity, but he surely didn't want to show it. He always beeing and asshole and arrogant persone, and she almost sacrified for him to fight de Vulcans is something that he didn't understand. He was fighting fine, but the stupid blonde had to wip away the Vulcan he was fighting with and she got punched by another one. He could have handle that battle, without any help. He was an SS-class mage. He didn't understand why she had no pay attencion in her battle and helped him instead. He had acted like a jerk all these days. He knew it. His partner was injured, because she risked her life helping him with the Vulcans. He wasn't sure why she helped him, though. He had hurt her in so many reasons. First, he said at Oshibana that she was a spoiled girl who run from home. Second, he injured one of her spirits and said that she was like every celestial mage using her friends as tools or shields. And he dind't even know her that better. He also had put the condition to rent a car to Shirotsume if she stripped for him. He had beeing playing aroud as she was a slut or a toy, nor a human being or nakama. Not that he didn't care about the gild members that much, but he was sure that he was acting like and asshole. He also stole her a kiss. He couldn't help about beeing atracted to her. However, he though that he had to start acting better around her, or someone would get hurt. And gramps would kill him if something happens to her.

In the deep he knew that he only wanted to know her better and he was jealous that Natsu, Gray and others were around her everyday. He was pissed off by Lucy's words when say her teammate's name when they're at the tent. He wasn't used to feel emotions. He wasn't ment to be around people, instead of his own team.

After several hours of using his body and making pulses with his magic on Lucy, she began to get warmer. Laxus knew that after that night, thinks would change. He learned that Lucy, was apparently weak withought her keys to help her using her magic, but was strong in differents manners that he never could have imagined. He had experineced her temper and willpower, not to mention her famous Lucy Kick and her demonic aura when she gets mad. She was strong enough to keep up fighting for her comrades, and sacrified for them as they would do the same for her. Sure the others, most of the time, were a bunch of idiots, causing a lot of problems and paperwork. Nevertheless, it seems that the bonds with all her comrades would fight with anything. It was the first time he thought that if she considered him his comrade, he felt softened and proud. He was afraid that when this mission was over think will return back to normal as if nothing had changed at all.
