Broken Mage

The Celebration

[kinda important plz read]

Wow, hello. First of all I am terribly sorry for the late, late update. I didn't know this term was so hellish, I swear to god I feel like a zombie with all of the assignments piling up. Anyway, anyway. This term is almost finished, fear not my lovely readers. It probably ends in like 2-3 weeks? After that, I'll pick this back up and not update once every 2 months (hopefully). So! at first I said it'll probs be about 10 chapters-ish right? But I think it will be a wee bit more than that. On to the important part!! So I was thinking of adding a bit—like a bit spicy scene, not too extreme, just like a bit. What do y'all think? Should I? or do y'all more comfortable with this only be a fluffy romance? Drop the suggestions in the comment, if you don't mind. Alrighty! Enjoy the new part!

Lucy held the handle of the large door which served as the entrance of her guild. Her knuckles were turning white from the constant force she used to grip the handle tightly—nervously. She took a deep breath and braced herself but stopped the second she thought about what might happen.

'Okay, maybe I shouldn't—right? No, I should. But—argh!' Lucy jumped restlessly and let go the hand that was gripping the handle tightly.

'Okay! Okay!' she exclaimed, 'you can do this, Lucy! Here we g—'

A snort stopped her on her tracks. Blush crept up to her neck as she remembered the company of another person. Lucy couldn't help it, she was too engulfed in anxiety. She whipped her head to the side, sending a glare towards the person that was laughing at her antics.

'Not funny, Laxus.' Lucy gritted her teeth and lightly punched his arm.

She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, 'Might I remind you that you're as fucked as I am in this?'

Laxus laughed stopped short and one could see the tension on his face as he gazed at the large entrance of the guild. He winced and groaned. Tapping his feet impatiently, his hand hovered on the handle for a second before dropping them to the side.

'Ha!' Lucy exclaimed. 'Let's just run. Only disaster awaits us there.'

Laxus snorted, 'I see the nerves got you, with the oracle styled talk and all,'

She grunted, 'Argh, you know this is your fault, right?'

'well, um—'

'True, the date was awesome, and I can't deny that it was successful...' her voice faded as her face slowly became beet-red remembering his soft lips moving in sync with hers.

Uh oh.

'hey—ouch!' Lucy glared at the blonde dragon slayer who was pinching one of her cheek so amusedly.

He proceeded to pinch both of her cheeks and then cupped her face gently, 'So cute.' He murmured as he brought his face closer and pecked her lips, making Lucy's turn more crimson.

Lucy stomped her feet annoyedly, 'stop doing things so spontaneously, god!'

'but I'm not god,' he said with an innocent tone, but his eyes were twinkling amusedly.

Lucy brought up her hand, 'Nope. I'm not doing this. We have a more pressing matter right now. What do you want to do? I only have two option; we run for it or— nevermind, I only have an option. Let's just run for it.' She began to turn and walk back to her apartment when Laxus grabbed her hand, stopping her.

He shook his head, 'No. It must be done now. We can't run from this anymore, Luce.' He squeezed her hands reassuringly and entwined their hands.

Lucy sighed and after a long time she gave in and nodded. She grabbed one of the handle while Laxus grabbed the other one. Lucy turned her head towards Laxus who gave her a smile in return.
