After the painful breakup, you found yourself yearning for Laxus even more deeply. You couldn’t fathom why the two of you had decided to part ways. Despite his shortcomings as a lover, he had always put in sincere effort. You wished him well, hoping he was finding happiness and anticipating brighter days ahead. Above all, you hoped he missed you as much as you missed him.

Accepting that he's gone for good has been and continues to be incredibly difficult for you. To cope with the heartbreak, you've created scenarios in your mind. You've imagined fictitious situations where both of you are deeply in love, yearning for the person you once were. Lately, you've noticed a change in yourself, so profound that even those at the guild barely recognize you anymore.

"Y/N, are you okay? You seem... distant," Lucy asked, coming over to where you were seated and settling beside you. You met her gaze with the same distant expression you'd worn for the past few days.

"I'm fine, Lu-chan. You should go before Natsu and Happy leave you behind," you said, pointing at the duo who were about to embark on another quest.

"Okay then, bye! See you soon, Y/n-sama!" Lucy exclaimed, enveloping you in a warm hug and flashing a bright smile before she departed. You rose from your seat and made your way to the second floor of the guild, feeling the need for solitude. Your search led you to a quest that spanned six months. Taking the request up to Mirajane, she greeted you with a gentle smile before whispering softly, "Come back safely."

But no matter how I try to (mm)

And no matter how I want to (mm)

And no matter how easy things could be if I did

And no matter how guilty, I still feel saying it

Heading towards the client's location, you unexpectedly encountered the Thunder Legion at a nearby inn. Exhausted from two days of relentless travel without sleep, you felt conflicted about their presence but pushed on, ignoring them. Instead, you enlisted the bellboy's help with your luggage, which he gladly accepted to ensure everyone enjoyed their stay. Just as you were entering your room, Freed approached you. He had noticed your arrival and scrutinized your weary expression, expressing concern about your well-being. Politely declining his worries, you explained your need for rest after the sleepless journey. As he prepared to leave, Freed awkwardly attempted to apologize for Laxus's actions, feeling responsible.

"You don't need to apologize, Freed. It's my fault for not setting boundaries and allowing it to happen. If anything, I should be the one apologizing," you murmured, bowing slightly. Freed was taken aback, not understanding why you would take blame for something beyond your control. Just as you were about to enter, you caught a glimpse of Laxus from the corner of your eye. Your gazes met briefly before you hurriedly dashed inside, shutting the door behind you. Slumping to the floor, you took a moment to compose yourself before standing and walking to a nearby mirror. "You need to stop thinking about him, dummy. It's not like he wants you," you muttered to your reflection, clenching your jaw to stave off the overwhelming thoughts. Despite your efforts, you couldn't banish him from your mind or heart.

I wish I hated you

I wish that weren't true

Wish there was worse to you

I wish you were worse to me

Yeah, I wish I hated you

Memories flooded back relentlessly—both the beautiful and the painful. Yet, despite everything, you cherished each one dearly. They were all that remained of the moments spent with the love of your life. You recalled how he would return after long absences, enveloping you in hugs and kisses. You also remembered the times he inexplicably grew distant and critical, belittling you for perceived weaknesses and unfairly assigning blame. Through all the arguments and heartache endured, your love for him persisted, though uncertainty gnawed at you—did he still feel the same way?

The next day, as you headed towards your clients' meetup spot, you couldn't help but notice the bustling cafe filled with couples. Some were laughing and enjoying each other's company, while others sat somberly, deep in conversation. The scene stirred memories of your own relationship—a rollercoaster of joyous highs and distressing lows. Spotting your client, you approached and greeted him. The flyer detailing the job was somewhat confusing, but despite that, you accepted the challenge. Your task: to retrieve a rare and irreplaceable gem hidden deep within the local mountain range. Legends spoke of its location in a treacherous cave teeming with monsters. Many wizards had met their end there—either falling from cliffs or succumbing to the beasts lurking within.

"Ah, that clarifies things. But what's the significance of the small text below the prize?" you inquire.

"Oh, you're the first one to notice! It's a surprise for whoever manages to bring the gem back to me!" he replies with a grin.

Returning a warm smile to the man before excusing yourself, you set off towards the mountain.

The mountain towered high above, confirming why this quest spanned six months. Understanding the challenge ahead, you estimated a three-day climb to the summit without breaks. Equipped with the climbing gear provided, you wasted no time and began the ascent.

After roughly five hours of relentless climbing, the thinning air made each breath a struggle. Undeterred, you pressed onward until you spotted a small, man-made opening in the rock—just large enough for you to squeeze through. It wasn't easy, but you persevered.

Inside the cave, a breathtaking sight awaited you. The walls shimmered with an array of vibrant rocks and stones, some glowing softly while others dazzled with intense brilliance. The spectacle left you utterly speechless.

You encountered monsters sporadically along the way, dispatching them with varying degrees of difficulty. Some foes were straightforward to defeat, while others posed significant challenges that tested your skills.

Referring to the picture of the gem you needed to retrieve, you scoured the immediate area without success. Determined, you sought a higher vantage point and ascended towards a steep rock face.

However, your path was unexpectedly blocked by a group of Vulcans. They aggressively charged at you, driven by a primal urge to claim you as their 'mate.' Despite their ferocity, you managed to overcome them in battle.

After subduing the Vulcans, you asked if they had any knowledge of the gem's whereabouts. They nodded in response, indicating they could lead you to its location.

"Thank you, but I'm quite tired. Would one of you mind carrying me to it?" you requested. They eagerly nodded in agreement, and one of them lifted you onto its back. The journey took some time, but true to their word, they led you to a narrow crevice within the wall where the gem was hidden.

After enlarging the opening to access the gem, you asked the Vulcan to remain there while you retrieved it. They complied, patiently waiting as you carefully extracted the powerful and irreplaceable gem. Marveling at its uniqueness, you wrapped it securely in fabric.

Returning to where the Vulcans awaited outside, you rejoined them, grateful for their assistance in locating the precious gem.

"Alright, could you please take me back down the mountain? I'm in a hurry," you requested, climbing onto the back of one of the Vulcans. Safely navigating the descent, you emerged from the mountain with minimal injuries. Throughout the journey, thoughts of the majestic landscape stirred memories of Laxus. The towering peaks and vibrant gems evoked a sense of awe, reminiscent of moments spent with him. In particular, the jagged stones adorned with a captivating yellow aura resonated deeply, recalling his presence and the emotions tied to those memories.

Our shadows dance in a parallel plane

Just two different endings, you learn to repair

And I learn to keep me in one place

So close (so close) and yet so far (so far)

If only we had known from the start

After handing over the gem to the man, he promptly rewarded you and presented the surprise gift he had mentioned earlier. He handed you an expensive getaway ticket for two, suggesting you could bring someone close to you along if you wished.

"Once again, Miss, I want to express my gratitude for your hard work! I understand being a wizard isn't easy, so please accept this gift as a token of my appreciation for your service," he said, bowing respectfully as he escorted you out of his estate.

"Thank you, sir. I truly appreciate your generosity. This is something I will treasure forever," you expressed warmly, bidding farewell before setting off to find a place to rest and unwind. The mission had wrapped up swiftly, hardly feeling like an S-class quest, but the reward money would certainly cover your rent for a while.

As you strolled, you stumbled upon a luxurious hotel and promptly booked a three-day stay. You were relieved to secure a room at the reasonable rate of 100,000 jewels. Along the corridor, you glimpsed someone who bore a striking resemblance to Evergreen.

Guided by the bellboy to your room, lost in thought, you collided with a stranger. To your surprise, they stood firm, preventing a potential accident. The bellboy reached out to help, but the stranger intervened, assisting you to your feet.

Looking up with wide eyes and a gasp, you noticed Laxus’ disheveled appearance—dark circles under his eyes and a pallid complexion. Quickly averting your gaze, you apologized and walked away swiftly. The bellboy hurried to catch up with your pace, managing your luggage as you made your retreat.

"I apologize for not paying attention to your warning earlier. I didn't mean to cause trouble for you, sir," you said sincerely.

"It's no problem at all, Miss. As long as you're enjoying your stay, we're happy," he replied with a wink, effortlessly guiding your luggage into the spacious room. The suite was impressive, complete with its own hot tub, a massive bed, and a sizable kitchen.

After thanking the bellboy and settling him for his assistance, you prepared to retire for the night. Just as you were getting ready, a soft knock interrupted your thoughts. Opening the door, you were taken aback to find Laxus standing before you. You hesitated, torn between shutting him out or letting him in. Before you could decide, he broke the silence, asking if he could enter.

You both settled at the foot of the bed, your gaze fixed on your feet. "How did you find my room? It's not exactly straightforward to get that information from the front desk," you questioned, feeling suspicious. However, he explained that the bellboy had informed him of your whereabouts.

"I paid him 60,000 jewels just to find out where you were. I needed to talk to you about... everything," he confessed softly. You couldn't bring yourself to meet his gaze, and he sensed your embarrassment. Gently, he took your hand and lifted it to his lips, planting a soft kiss on it. Your cheeks flushed with a mix of love and embarrassment at his tender gesture.

Slowly raising your eyes to meet his, you offered to fetch water or tea. Before you could move, he pulled you into his lap by the waist, catching you off guard. Flustered more than ever, you looked away, but he began to speak.

"I'm sorry for how I treated you. I couldn't express myself properly around you. I realize now how badly I behaved, despite how good you were to me," he admitted, his voice wavering as he struggled to contain his emotions. He held you closer, as if afraid you might slip away.

You tried to pull away, feeling ashamed to be so close to him. But he held onto you tightly, refusing to let go.

"Please, Laxus, let me go. It's already so difficult for me to accept that you're no longer a part of my life. Please don't make this any harder," you pleaded, tears welling up as you fought to hold them back in his presence. He sank back onto the bed with you still nestled against his chest. Looking down at him, you noticed tears streaming down his face, his eyes red and swollen, and his nose damp with tears.

You buried your face into his chest, giving in to your tears. He tenderly rubbed your back, trying to soothe you. "I missed you so much, and leaving you was a mistake. It made me realize I can't live without you by my side. Please, y/n, don't leave me again," he whispered brokenly, his voice filled with emotion.

Unable to hold back any longer, you sobbed harder, wrapping your arms around his neck and pulling yourself up to meet his gaze. Pressing a kiss to his forehead, you released yourself from his grasp and lay down beside him. With a warm smile, you drifted off to sleep, comforted by his presence once more.

Waking up to find the bed empty, you initially thought it was a dream until you heard the shower running. "He's still here," you realized with a smile, heading to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for both of you.

As you cooked, conflicting thoughts raced through your mind. You questioned whether you had let him back into your life too easily, whether you should have forgiven him for his past actions. Yet, despite these doubts, your heart spoke louder. You longed for him, desperately wanting him back, regardless of the consequences. All that mattered was having him by your side once more; nothing and no one else seemed to hold significance.

You reconciled and gradually found yourselves getting along better than ever. He showed more patience and empathy, never pushing you away or belittling you over trivial matters. Instead, he worked through issues with you, genuinely changing and becoming a better man for your sake.

Slowly, you began to rediscover your old self—cheerful and happy. Yet, at times, doubts crept in, wondering if he had truly changed or if you were simply trying to convince yourself to hate him. Despite these fleeting thoughts, you couldn't bring yourself to hate him. Your love for him remained unwavering, your affection unyielding.

"Hey princess, where would you like to go for our date tonight?" Laxus asked, his arm around yours as you leaned into him.

"Anywhere with you is perfect," you replied, flashing him a gentle smile before pulling him close for a kiss. In that moment, happiness washed over you, grateful to have him back in your life.

"It's fine. Plus, I don't think we should worry about Natsu and Gray fighting. I'm more concerned about those four over there." She pointed in the direction where you and Laxus were, glaring at the pair opposite to you. Kirin and Laxus were arguing, while you simply gave Kiria a nasty look. You had all gone to the Diabolos guildhall for a peace dinner between your guilds. Initially, Lucy and Wendy were concerned about how Natsu and Gray would behave at the dinner, but now they couldn't even be certain if they would cause a scene.

"Stop glaring at me, you hag," Kiria retorted, looking back at Laxus.

"I'll stop once you stop looking at MY boyfriend, porky," you chuckled softly, observing her face shift from annoyance to anger.

"What did you just say?!" Kiria growled in response, her voice laced with frustration.

"You heard me. Are you deaf too? I thought all Dragon Slayers had sharp hearing. Guess you're not a real one after all," you teased. Kiria was about to retort when Erza interjected, telling both of you to behave.

"Y/N, she's right. Let's just calm down, okay?" Lucy attempted to diffuse the situation but inadvertently exacerbated it.

"It's not my fault this bimbo can't keep her filthy hands off my man," you said, side-eyeing the blonde across from you, who looked like she was about to punch you for the insult.

"Keep talking, thunder thighs. It's not MY fault your eye candy saw me naked and gave me his coat," she said with a pout.

“Maybe you purposely made yourself naked in order to get his attention; it wouldn’t hurt wearing some decent clothing.” You giggled as you could see her veins pop out of her forehead and neck. “Little Miss Dragon Slayer thinks she can seduce a man. You’ll never get a man’s attention with that scrawny bod.” You said this as you looked at her with pure disgust.

“HEH?! You want to fight right now?" She stood up from her seat, getting ready to throw hands.

“You’re upset because you know I’m right? It takes more than having your chest out on display to have a decent chance with a guy.” Standing up from where you once sat, getting ready to jump over the table and throw the first punch.

"Enough of this. Stop it, both of you," Gajeel sighed, with Gray nodding in agreement. Natsu stood up and yelled, "Gajeel's right. If we're going to fight, I want to take on Laxus first!" He grinned, preparing himself for the fight ahead.

“YOU STAY OUT OF THIS, YOU WIMP!” You both yelled at the pink-haired male.

"You don't have the right to call my friend a wimp! Only I can do that, you attention-seeking whore," you retorted with venom in your voice.

“DON’T CALL ME AN ATTENTION-WHORE, YOU SLUT.” Kiria lunged at you, and as she was about to make contact with your face, you caught her fist and threw her to the ground.

You pulled on each other's hair and clothes, resulting in her bra and bandages being torn off, while she also tore off the top half of your dress.

"Let go of me, you skank!"

“I will once you apologize for flirting with my man, Dragon Breath!”

“OLD WENCH!”

“UGLY BITCH!”

“FAT RAT!”

“DUMB COW”

It took almost everyone to pull you off Kiria, as you were already beating her within an inch of her life.

"Don’t touch me! I’m not done with this lying jerk," you exclaimed, pushing everyone away. It took almost six minutes for them to finally separate you from her.

"Whew... that was tough," Lucy groaned, as the other Fairy Tail members nodded in agreement.

Currently, Laxus had his arm around your waist for two reasons: to calm you down and to prevent you from approaching Kiria and assaulting her again.

"Tch... I'll beat you next time, you cheater," Kiria whined, wincing in pain.

"Then maybe you should keep that big mouth of yours shut. After all, it's only good for stuffing your face," you smirked, as she started to get furious for the second time.

"That's enough from the both of you! Behave yourselves!" Erza scolded the two of you like children who had gotten into a small fight.

"Whatever, it's not like she'll beat me," you smiled, shifting your attention to Laxus, who was eating. You giggled at the sight of his chubby cheeks and leaned your head closer to his side. Wrapping your arms around him, you pulled yourself lightly into his lap. Chuckling, you began to rub your face against his chest. With heart-shaped eyes and a light blush on your cheeks, you looked like a love-struck girl.

"If you keep rubbing against him like that, he might pick up that nasty attitude from you," Kiria says, trying to provoke you.

"Do you want to go again, you crusty bitch?" You stood up from Laxus' lap before he pulled you back down and whispered into your ear.

Shocked by what he said, you quickly sat down and murmured an apology to Kiria.

"You have to speak louder, otherwise it won't count as an apology," Laxus stated before stuffing his face with food. Letting out a deep sigh, you looked at her and apologized.

"I’m sorry... for how I acted," you said, looking away in embarrassment as she smirked. She smiled and said she’d forgive you if you let her touch Laxus’ bicep. Feeling your blood boil and your veins pop, it took everything in you not to jump on her again.

"S-sure," you forced a smile as you watched her walk up to him and grab his bicep. It felt like ages since she grabbed his arm, but it was just 10 seconds of this torture. You were about to say something before Laxus pulled his arm away and went back to eating.

When the dinner was over, Lucy asked what Laxus had said for you to go apologizing to Kiria. You smiled at the thought and giggled with pure joy and pleasure.

"He told me if I apologized, he would do as I said for a day, but only if she forgave me," you said, running up to Laxus and running your hands over him.

"Are you proud of me, Laxus-sama?" He smiled and nodded before patting your head. He then placed his arm over your shoulder as the two of you tried to catch up with the others.

Once you were back at the guild, Laxus kept his word. He did exactly as you told him to. You asked him to run and get you cheesecake and some angel cake from the bakery across town. He promptly returned with the food you had requested. Then, you instructed him to buy some fancy scented candles and a red tablecloth large enough for the table on the second floor of the guild. He returned with three candles and the tablecloth. Next, you directed him to prepare the table so you could set the plates and forks. After telling him to sit down, you settled yourself on his lap and fed him the sweets. He was embarrassed because your actions were unexpected, but he allowed you to continue.

"Say 'ahh,'" you said, bringing the fork to his mouth and smiling at his expression. With his mouth wide open, you fed him the last of the angel cake. You would have fed him the cheesecake too, but he strongly disliked its texture, so you kept that for yourself. Once he had swallowed the last bite of cake, you wiped off the crumbs from around his lips with a napkin and planted a small kiss on his cheek.

"You look so cute eating," you teased, causing his face to flush deep red. "Yeah... yeah..." He looked away from your gentle gaze before wrapping his arms around you and placing a kiss on your temple. You both sat in comfortable silence, enjoying each other’s presence.

"This guild must have some formidable foes if they could harm Erza in such a way." Tears welled up in your eyes as you witnessed your younger friends all struggling to remain alert; even Gray was battling the urge to lose consciousness.

"The man who harmed Ezra…. he was extremely powerful, he knocked her unconscious in such a short amount of time. We stood no chance against him," Lucy sobbed, tears streaming down her cheeks as she talks about the harrowing encounter.

"He called himself 'Pericolo,' and his two henchmen, simply named 'One' and 'Two,' were incredibly tough. They fought Natsu and Gray, who struggled against them. I could only watch them fight, I have never felt so powerless before. When I summoned my spirits to help, they only got in the way and were quickly defeated." You embraced Lucy in a hug. She hugged back and started sobbing harder than before.

“I can’t believe I’m so weak. I couldn’t protect anyone—not even myself. We lost our strongest members and the battle. I’m sorry I wasn’t more useful, and I’m sorry I couldn’t be stronger, Y/N.”

“Don’t apologize, Lucy. It’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself, okay? Not every battle can be won, and not everyone can always be strong. What matters now is that you guys must rest and restore your strength.” You pulled away from the hug and left the infirmary, bumping into the Thunder Legion as they were about to enter.

“Thank God you’re here, Y/N. We’ve been looking for you,” Freed exclaimed, his eyes filled with worry.

“What’s up with you three? And where is Laxus?”

“He—he’s heading to the dark guild where Natsu’s team went, and he’s planning to kill the bastards who hurt them,” Evergreen said, practically shaking in her heels.

“We’ve tried to stop him since the master said he would handle it, but he wouldn’t listen to us,” Bickslow said, his tone full of worry and frustration.

“I might be able to bring him back, but I’ll need some backup. Are you all willing to help me?”

“Of course! Anything to protect Laxus!” the three cheered, hopeful that you might be able to retrieve that stubborn blonde.

“Is this the right direction to the guild?” you asked, running as fast as you could. Since the dark guild was very close to Fairy Tail, the four of you ran on foot to get there quickly.

"Yes, but we should be on guard. The three men who were able to attack and harm Erza and the others are very strong and might be as powerful as Laxus," Freed replied, starting to place enchantments around the area.

"I can see it straight ahead, Y/N! Go get our Laxus-sama back!" Evergreen yelled. With her advantage in the air, she flew higher to check for any potential attackers nearby.

"Watch out, Ever!" Bickslow shouted as the brunette was about to be hit by an arrow.

She narrowly dodged the attack just in time, only to confront a man with a number two tattooed on his forehead emerging from concealment. Standing about 5’7 with protruding teeth and a bow in hand, he sneered, "Whatcha doing all the way out here, ya fairy chumps?" His accent was deep, but still understandable.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm looking for a friend, and these three informed me he was headed here," you replied, signaling the Thunder Legion to hold back.

"Do you know where I can find him?" You placed a hand gently on his chest, locking eyes with him.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about, lady, but—" His face flushed, presenting the perfect opportunity to use your magic.

"Stone kiss," you whispered, sending the enchanted kiss towards his cheek. Before he could react, he turned to stone.

"Your magic never fails to impress us, Y/N-chan," Bickslow giggled, admiring the petrified man's expression.

"Let's go find your leader before he gets into trouble. Oh, and Freed?"

"Yes?"

"Break the statue before my spell wears off."

"But—"

"I don't care. Your safety is my top priority right now. I don't want any of you ending up like Erza or Natsu. I'll take the blame for everything, so please just do as I say, okay?" He nodded and headed towards the statue, while the rest of you made your way toward the guild. While making your way up the hill, you ran into some of the members of this guild who looked outraged. So, using your charms and good looks, you were able to render them powerless as you casted your petrifying wave spell. You three continued to make your way to the guild hall, and saw the door cracked open.

A sense of horror filled the air, with many people appearing mortified. Most lay unconscious and bleeding, while others hid, clearly frightened of something unseen.

"You must be the Fairy Tail wizards," said a man who called himself 'One,' Pericolo's henchman, bowing as he greeted them. "Pleasure to meet you."

"I've heard of you. You were one of the men who hurt my guild mates, and that's a crime, you said, glaring at him with boiling rage, struggling to remain calm.

"My, what a beautiful thing you are. Care to go out with me, gorgeous?" he asked with a sneer.

"I'm not interested in men who think hurting my family is acceptable," you replied firmly, preparing to cast a spell. But then, a familiar voice stopped you.

"Careful, Y/N. He's tough," Laxus's voice echoed from the balcony. You looked up to see him bruised and limping, beside an unconscious figure that appeared to be the master.

"Laxus-sama?!" Bickslow and Evergreen gasped in horror at his condition. "What did you do to him?!" you demanded.

"I didn't do anything, sweetheart. That was my master's doing," he smirked, advancing towards you. Just as you prepared to defend yourself, Bickslow and Evergreen cried out in pain, collapsing to the ground.

"What's happening?!" you exclaimed, alarmed.

“All I did was use my magic~ Don’t worry, love. I've saved something special just for you.” He sprinted toward you, but inexplicably, you couldn't move.

“MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, YOU IDIOT!”

“I’M TRYING! I CAN’T MOVE MY LEGS, THEY’RE STUCK!” Panic gripped you as you shouted at the blonde. Why couldn’t you move your legs?

“Don’t worry, darling. You've walked right into my trap. You'll be fine. Now...” He lunged forward, seizing your throat tightly.

“LET GO OF HER!” Laxus's voice boomed with horror as he rushed to your aid.

“Look at you, little lady. Your legs are free again. Too bad I'll drain your magic and give it to the master.” His grip tightened as you struggled for breath.

“You can’t do that! If you do, there's no cure for my petrification. Even if you take my magic, you won’t be able to save your friends.” Gasping between words, you desperately tried to warn him of the consequences.

“That’s fine. I can live without these nobodies. Now, be a good girl and let me steal it.” He produced a magic item designed for taking and transferring magic to others.

"Good luck using this magic, if your boss—" You paused to catch your breath, your speech already strained. "If your boss were to have my magic, it would be useless."

"How so?" He looked confused and surprised by your response, not anticipating you could still speak with his hands around your neck. "My magic... is nothing without my beauty. So, killing me would be utterly pointless." You struggled to draw a breath but went limp and fell silent, faintly hearing the distant sounds of lightning and other noises before losing consciousness.

The next thing you knew, you woke up in a white bed—it was the infirmary. You see Laxus in another bed, bandaged and still, his gaze fixed on you. Slowly sitting up, you glanced around and saw Lucy nearby, sleeping with her hand holding yours. You squeezed her hand gently to let her know you were awake. Startled, she woke up and tears welled in her eyes.

"YOU'RE AWAKE! OH MY GOD, I WAS SO WORRIED! I THOUGHT YOU WOULD NEVER WAKE UP!" She collapsed into your lap, sobbing uncontrollably. You gently stroked her head before speaking.

“Sorry about that, Lucy. I didn’t intend to fight, but I had no other choice. Ugh, I feel utterly terrible and useless,” your voice was raspy, and your throat ached with every word. You reclined in your bed, trying to find a comfortable position.

“I couldn’t even defeat that number one guy… Come to think of it, where is Freed? Is he okay? What about Evergreen and Bickslow?” Your tone was tinged with panic.

“They're fine. I made sure all of you came back safely,” Laxus reassured, settling into the seat beside Lucy.

“How did you manage to bring us all here? Last thing I remember, me, Ever, and Bickslow were down, and Freed was still missing,” you asked, trying to piece together the events.

“When you passed out, I tried to take down the guy, but I ended up getting hurt even worse. I did manage to defeat him, though. Then Freed showed up, he wasn’t harmed or anything, and found you three on the ground. I had him carry Bicks and Ever, while I carried you on my back. We made it to the guild soon after that, and then I passed out,” Laxus explained, his voice weary but determined.

“Yeah, and Elfman helped carry Laxus in here, while Natsu, Gray, and Freed brought you three inside,” Lucy chimed in, adding to his account.

“Wow... at least Freed was okay,” you chuckled weakly.

“Yeah, I guess,” Laxus replied, as Lucy was glancing between the two of you before excusing herself.

“I'll ask Mira Jane if she can make you guys something to eat. Get some rest, you two!” She waved as she left the room.

You looked down, overwhelmed by emotion, before breaking down completely. Laxus sat beside you on the bed, taking your hand and gently rubbing its back before pulling you into his embrace. "I can’t believe I was so useless. I couldn’t even help the three of you..." You sobbed into his chest as he stroked your hair soothingly.

"It’s okay. We’re all okay. Don’t blame yourself," he whispered softly.

"It’s not okay. I couldn’t even get there in time to help you. I only managed to take down one of them... I feel so weak," you confessed tearfully.

"Taking down one guy is still something," he attempted to lighten the mood with a faint smile

"Yeah, I guess so... Where are those three anyway?" you wondered aloud.

"I don’t know. They said they were going somewhere," Laxus replied, both of you turning your heads at the sound of the door opening. You saw the trio walking in, each carrying a bunch of drinks.

"We're back, and we brought some wine!" Evergreen sang out, setting glasses on the table for the five of you. You and Laxus separated and each picked up a glass.

"Oh my, I forgot you don’t like to drink, y/n-chan! I’m so sorry!" Evergreen exclaimed, rushing over to hug you.

"It’s fine, I’ll still drink it. You guys went through the trouble of getting this," you reassured her, smiling. She returned the smile warmly.

"You’re too kind, y/n-chan," Evergreen said, then turned to look directly at Laxus. "You better treat her right, or else I may have to fight you." Freed and Bickslow nodded in agreement before Laxus spoke up.

"I promise I will treat her well," Laxus said sincerely, looking at you with heartfelt eyes as he kissed your hand. Blushing, you looked away in embarrassment.

"I’m kind of nervous about trying this," you admitted, taking a sip of the wine. It tasted good—sweet and rich.

"...now I understand why Cana is so addicted to this stuff," you chuckled, joining in their laughter as they drank to their hearts' content. Feeling unusually talkative and confident, though a bit wobbly, you couldn't quite explain why.

"Looks like someone's getting tipsy!" Bickslow observed, eyeing your slightly unsteady movements. You responded with giggles.

After a few more glasses, exhaustion set in, prompting you to lay back for a 'quick nap.' When you awoke the next morning, your head throbbed painfully. Groaning, you stood up and surveyed your surroundings— you were still in the guild. Glancing at your teammates, you found them all still asleep. Laxus had drool around his mouth, Bickslow was in an awkward position, and Evergreen and Freed were cuddled together, laughing in their sleep.

"Ugh, I'm never drinking again," you muttered, rubbing your temples in an attempt to ease the pain. Slowly, one by one, they began to wake up, each with a pounding headache.

"What time is it?" Freed was the first to wake, noticing his friends on the ground while you sat up, looking bewildered.

"I think it's 9 or 10 o'clock," you mumble upon leaving your bed. Your feet were asleep, making it awkward to walk. You ask Freed to help you move Laxus and the other two to different beds in the infirmary. Once finished, you both head to the Master and Mira Jane at their usual spot.

"Morning, sleepyheads! Hope you had a restful sleepover!" Mira Jane laughs as she greets you both. The Master soon calls you into his office. Heading upstairs, you find him with a serious expression.

"I know both of you were responsible for bringing Laxus back, but there was some damage, nothing too serious. Since you all returned safely, I want to thank you both for coming back alive." He bows his head, then looks up at you both. "Another matter I want to address is that the council received word that one of you destroyed a statue that might have been a human. I need to know who did it."

"It was me, Master. I'm sorry," you say, looking down in shame but holding your ground as you had agreed to take the blame.

"I had to ensure the safety of my friends, but because of my poor choices, I ended up causing one of them to destroy the statue to—"

"That's enough, y/n. I don’t need any more explanation from you. As long as you admit your mistakes, I understand. But you still need to be punished."

You took a deep breath, hoping for the best. Freed also looked at the Master with worry, hoping your punishment wouldn't be severe.

"The council and I have agreed that… you, y/n l/n, are suspended from missions for the next two weeks. You may lift your heads, my children." You exchanged a glance with Freed and smiled, then embraced each other in relief.

"Thank goodness it wasn’t anything too serious," Freed sighed as he pulled away from your embrace.

"You can say that again," you replied, looking at the Master and bowing once more, thanking him for his mercy.

"There is no need to thank me, my child. You did your best to ensure the safety of your friends and others. Now, let there be a little sympathy for your actions."

You both headed down to the bar to join the rest of the Thunder Legion. Approaching them, you explained the situation.

"I'm relieved it wasn't anything too serious."

"Yeah, but I need to pay my rent within those two weeks," you sighed, brainstorming ways to earn quick cash. Evergreen leaned in close, whispering an idea in your ear so the others wouldn't hear. Your face turned red; her suggestion was simple yet a bit... unconventional.

"I-I'm not sure how I feel about that," you stammered.

"Don't worry, I'll be there to help you out!" Evergreen winked mischievously, sporting a smirk.

"Can you ladies fill us in on your plan to help y/n?" Freed asked, noticing your expressions had changed.

"Don't worry about it, Freed. You boys will find out soon enough," Evergreen teased, pulling you away to lead you to your temporary job.

Once you both secured positions at a new bikini restaurant that had just opened, you felt a bit nervous about showcasing your curves. It wasn’t that you were insecure; rather, it was embarrassing considering the restaurant's proximity to Fairy Tail. You were hesitant for your guildmates to see you practically in your birthday suit. Evergreen invited the Thunder Legion to visit the restaurant to ‘support’ both of you.

As you headed in for your shift, you saw them waiting at a table outside. You felt embarrassed knowing they would see you in your work uniform. At the start of your shift, the manager emphasized the mandatory attire: you in a white bikini and Evergreen in a pink one. On your first day, you already felt eyes on you, which made you queasy, but you had to endure it for the decent pay.

Your first table consisted of two men who flirted with you the entire time and evaded your questions.

"So beautiful, are you single?" one of the men asked flirtatiously.

"Um, sir, I still need to know what you would like to drink," you replied, trying to steer the conversation back to business.

"I'd like to have a sip of you," the other man winked, eliciting an eye-roll of annoyance from you.

"So waters will be fine for you gentlemen?" you answered for them, maintaining professionalism despite their advances.

"Yeah, just add a lemon slice to mine," one of them confirmed.

"Alright, they’ll be out soon."

"Take your time, hot stuff!" They blatantly checked you out as you walked away. You sighed and asked Evergreen, who was serving another table, if she could take over yours. She agreed, and you were reassigned to a table full of familiar faces.

"Whoa, look at you, y/n! You don’t look too bad," Bickslow commented, noting your bright red face. Freed and Laxus were visibly shocked, their jaws nearly hitting the floor.

"I agree with Bickslow, you look good in that... outfit," Freed managed to say, his face flushed.

"Thanks. Anyway, what would you guys like to drink?" You retrieved your notepad and pen from inside your bra, adjusting it discreetly as your breasts were on the verge of spilling out. Freed blushed even deeper at the sight, while Laxus showed no reaction.

Returning with their drinks, you couldn't ignore the stares from other tables. Setting down the drinks, you proceeded to take their food orders. Upon returning with their meals, Laxus repeatedly sent you back to the kitchen, seemingly just to give you a hard time and to check you out when you weren’t paying attention.

"Come on, y/n, this isn’t what I ordered," he complained.

"But I—" you started to explain.

"Go back," he interrupted, firm in his demand.

"Y/n just unlocked Laxus’ sadist side," Freed remarked, observing you heading back for the fifth time.

"This is going to be a long day..." you sighed to yourself.

Having grown accustomed to the attention and receiving positive feedback from customers, you were rewarded with a raise. On your last day at the job, the Thunder Legion returned with a few more friends.

"Y/n, is this why you haven’t been at the guild?" Gray asked, to which you nodded.

"Yes, but today's my last day! I'll be back on missions tomorrow!" you exclaimed eagerly, ready to take their orders.

"Here you go! Anything else before I take your main course order?" You smiled at them as they glanced at each other before placing their orders. They ordered a large amount of food, particularly Natsu and Gray.

Returning with most of the food, you heard Laxus cough, signaling something was wrong. "This isn’t what I asked for."

"Please don’t start this again, babe," you sighed deeply, while the others laughed at your response. It looked like it was going to be another long day.

"Is there something wrong, Ever?" You asked, genuinely curious about why she was grinning like a complete idiot.

"Oh, it's nothing really! I'm just waiting for all the girls to arrive so I can share what I've just found out!" She smiled menacingly as she walked away toward the spring.

Once all of you ladies were in, Ever started giggling, leaving you anxious yet excited to know what the big fuss was about.

"Ladies, gather round! You're all about to be shocked by this story," Evergreen declared, prompting all the ladies to gather around to hear what she had to say.

"A little birdie told me about what happened last week between Laxus and y/n-chan. Apparently, y/n's top got torn, leaving her 'jubbiles' on display, and Laxus used his hands to cover them." You were taken aback. Who the hell told her what happened? The only people who knew about it were you and Laxus—no one else. So, who told her?

"Oh my God?! y/n, is this true?!" Lucy gasped in surprise, displaying the most shocked expression among the entire group.

"It is true, but it's not like that at all! He was just trying to cover me!" You held out your hands in defense of both him and yourself.

"Oh really? Well, I can't blame him for grabbing these! Just look at them—they're so huge and way softer than Lucy's," Cana exclaimed, grabbing and playing with your chest while you tried your best to get her to stop.

"Please stop! That tickles!" you squeaked in embarrassment.

Wendy and Mira smiled as the two of you goofed around, while Erza had an extremely red face. You didn't mind Cana grabbing you like that; you trusted her a lot. Besides, she had done this many times before, and if she ever felt she had gone too far, she would apologize for her actions and behavior.

Meanwhile, on the men's side of the hot spring, they overheard everything being said. To say that Freed and Bickslow were shocked would be an understatement.

"Laxus, this can't be true!" Freed exclaimed, looking at the man in front of him who remained calm despite having just grabbed your breasts as if it were nothing.

"Yeah, it's true. But I was just helping her out," Laxus said, tilting his head back to stretch his neck. Bickslow approached him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Tell me, Laxus... How did they feel?! Or what?! You gotta be honest with me, come on, man!" The blue-haired male was now shaking Laxus, eager to hear the details about what happened.

"Just chill out, man. Then maybe I'll tell you," the blonde said, attempting to get the other man to stop shaking him so forcefully. Bickslow ceased his actions and leaned in closer to hear what the blonde had to say.

"I guess they felt soft. I don't know, I didn't get the chance to squeeze them," Laxus said, looking away with a slight blush on his cheeks.

"Dang, Laxus, never thought I'd hear that from you," Gray said, looking at the man with a smirk.

"Yeah, Laxus, didn't know you were that much of a perv," Natsu said with a smile as he approached Laxus and slapped him on the back.

"Watch it, Pinkie," he said, glaring at the boy as he walked out of the spring to cool off.

"Don't go running away, you coward! Fight me like a real man!" the pink-haired boy exclaimed, with fire coming out of his mouth.

"Don't go picking fights you can't win, you slimy lizard."

"Oh yeah, ice princess?! You wanna go right now?!"

"Yeah, you fire-breathing loser!"

Both the fire and ice wizards were now throwing punches in the bath, causing the other men to get out to avoid being dragged into their fight.

"So immature," Freed sighed as he left to dry off and change.

"Wait up, Freed!" Bickslow yelled, following the green-haired man.

Laxus was about to join the two till he heard screaming from the women’s side. Normally, he would ignore such drama, but he turned around and noticed a large whole in the fence separating the male and female baths. Curious, he went back to check on Natsu and Gray, only to see Natsu’s face buried into your chest.

Your face was extremely pale, and you were making noises, completely speechless and stiff.

Natsu exclaimed, "Wow, that hurt! Good thing these pillows were here to catch me," as he grabbed your breasts and buried his face deeper into you chest.

“GET OFF HER, YOU IDIOT!” Lucy grabs him around the waist and attempts to pull him away.

"You heard her, Natsu. Get off now; you're making y/n feel extremely uncomfortable," Erza said, glaring at the boy who remained unfazed.

"Aw, come on, Erza. I was just getting comfortable here," the male whined as he returned to bury his face in your chest once more.

Wendy and Erza blushed as they watched everything unfold within a matter of minutes. Fortunately, Gray had landed between Cana and Mira, so he didn’t have to endure an earful from the ladies.

"Please get off, Natsu. It's... embarrassing," you said, looking down at the dragon slayer with pink cheeks and glossy eyes.

"Oh, sorry about that, y/n! I had no idea I landed on ya!" Natsu said, smiling and rubbing the back of his head.

"But wow, these things sure are soft!" he replied.

"Ah, please stop!" You tried to pull his hands away, but they didn’t budge, so you responded by smacking him into the water.

"WAIT! NO! I'M SORRY, NATSU!" You grabbed Natsu, who is now unconscious and has a bump growing on his cheek.

"No, he definitely deserved it," all the girls chimed in, their faces displaying disappointment.

You all heard a cough from the now destroyed wall that separated you. Laxus glanced at the ground, trying not to make anyone uncomfortable, and grabbed Gray and Natsu by the hair to pull them out. Once he reached the other side, he apologized and walked away.

"That was interesting," Wendy nervously said, trying to clear the awkward tension in the air.

"Oh my, y/n, I sure didn’t expect that to happen," Mira Jane giggled, looking at you.

"I know, right? These boys are going to be the end of me," Evergreen sighed as she headed out of the bath, followed by the rest of you shortly after.

All of you had changed into robes and headed towards your respective rooms. You bumped into Natsu, who looked much worse than when you last saw him.

"Are you alright, Natsu? You look worse than before." You grabbed his hand and examined his face; it was bruised and his hands had cuts on them.

"I'm so sorry, y/n. I didn't mean to upset you back there," Natsu slurred, with several teeth missing and his lip busted.

"It's fine, Natsu. I already forgave you earlier. Let's go find Wendy so she can fix you up, okay?" You grabbed his arm to lead him towards the girls' room, aware that he couldn't see well through his swollen black eyes.

"You're too kind to us, y/n. Makes me feel worse."

"Now, mind telling me what happened to you? Whoever beat you up seemed intent on hurting you badly." You asked softly, concerned about his condition. He could barely walk properly, limping and visibly battered.

"It was Laxus. He said I shouldn't have upset you like that. Something about backing off, but I don't get it. It's not like you and I are a thing," he replied through slurs and tears. You couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Natsu was like a little brother to you, and you had always sworn to protect him since you first met.

Little did you know, Laxus was behind you and overheard your conversation. Fortunately, you reached Wendy's room to update her on the situation and asked for her help with Natsu.

As you left Wendy's room, your eyes met Laxus' gray ones, causing you to let out a choked gasp; you hadn't expected him to be there.

"You startled me, you big goof!" You lightly slapped his chest.

"Sorry about that."

"Why did you beat up Natsu? He didn't deserve that. He looks like he's been through hell," you said, guiding him out of the hallway toward your room, which was two doors down.

"I don't really know. I guess I was just upset," Laxus replied, avoiding your gaze. You gently lifted his chin to make him face you and smiled softly at him.

"Well, I just wanted to say thank you for thinking of me! But we should tone down the violence; I don’t think Natsu can handle that much anger directed at him," you chuckled at the lightning mage's expression.

"I also have something else to ask, if you don’t mind, Laxus. What was Natsu talking about when you told him to 'back off'?" You added air quotes at the end of your sentence. Laxus blushed and looked away again, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"It’s nothing..."

"Are you sure? Because I might have something else to tell you if you come clean."

"Really?" You nodded as you leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "I like you," giggling as the blonde's dumbfounded look crossed his face. He grabbed you by the waist, pulled you closer to his chest, and rested his head on top of yours.

"I'm glad you do. So now that we've confessed how we feel, how about we make it official?" He asked as he pulled back and gently lifted your face to meet his.

"Y/n, will you do me the honor of becoming my woman?"

"Of course, I would love to be yours! As long as you promise to be mine." You squealed and hugged him, causing the two of you to tumble back onto the bed.

"Anything for you, gorgeous," he winked at your flushed face as he pulled you in for a tender kiss — a kiss you wished could last forever.

- If you tried calling him cute or handsome, whether in private or public, he would ask you to quiet down because he found it embarrassing. It's not that he didn't appreciate the compliments; he simply isn't accustomed to receiving them constantly throughout the day.

“You look so handsome in that outfit Laxus!” Giggling as you ran up to him for a hug.

“Quiet down will ya? Its embarrassing..” Faint blush painted his cheeks and ears.

- Another endearing trait of his is that whenever he gets flustered or tries to lie, his ears turn red. It's quite amusing, especially when he thinks he's being sneaky about it.

- When Laxus compliments you, it feels like pure bliss. Once he called you cute, and you couldn't stop hugging him or giving him kisses.

- He may not be as affectionate as you are, but he can be somewhat possessive. Initially, he didn’t mind it if you were talk to your male friends or show affection, since you've always been a hugger. However, the only times he does get a bit possessive is when another guy you're spending time with gets too comfortable around you. For instance, one time you spent the day with Lucy and her celestial spirits, and she summoned Loke to join you. When Laxus unexpectedly ran into both of you, he noticed that Loke was being overly touchy with you.

"Hey Y/N, are you still up for our date later?" He wrapped his arm around your waist, pulling you close. He winked at you, and you felt a bit embarrassed by the question, especially since Loke asked it in front of Laxus.

"Get your hands off my woman, cat," he demanded, glaring at Loke. Laxus approached, grabbed your arm, and pulled you away from Loke.

“So I guess that’s a no y/n-chan?”

"OF COURSE IT'S A NO, YOU DAMN WOMANIZER!" Laxus shouted as he continued to drag you out of the guildhall.

- When you get jealous, your response is quite different. You tend to pout and make snarky comments about the situation in front of you. The key distinction in how you aim to make the girl flirting with him is to make her extremely uncomfortable. Being an attractive woman yourself, it often unsettles other women to see someone of your caliber dating a hunk like him. So, when you approach Laxus while he's talking to another girl, you run your hands over his biceps, forearms, hair, and thighs, leaving kisses all over his face to distract him. This tactic usually works, as most girls either walk away scoffing or leave without a word. However, occasionally, some women stay unfazed by your behavior. In those rare instances, you resort to glaring at them, and if that fails, you simply pull Laxus away to avoid causing a scene.

- When you're upset with him over small things, he finds it adorable when you pout and puff your cheeks. You give him the silent treatment and ignore him all day, but naturally, you can't stay mad at him forever! When you're ready to apologize, you approach him and express regret for your behavior. He readily accepts your apology and typically seals it with a kiss on the back of your hand, which never fails to make you smile.

- When he apologizes, it's a completely different situation—he tends to act as if nothing happened. It can be hurtful, but everyone handles situations differently. Despite this, he shows his remorse by buying you whatever you want and being more affectionate towards you. He's doing his best!

- On his birthday, you go all out. You shower him with numerous gifts—clothes, shoes, and money. You also surprise him with large bouquets and cakes. Whether it's just the two of you celebrating or not, you always make sure he feels cherished and special.

- On your birthday, he takes you out on fancy dates and buys you bouquets twice the size of the ones you give him. He also takes you shopping for new clothes and jewelry! As the day winds down, he surprises you with a special treat in the bedroom~

- When you both go on missions together, you're always close to him—either on his back or clinging to his arm. You take on the cooking duties during missions since he usually handles most of the other tasks, but you don't mind at all. After all, he vowed to protect you, and you vowed to do the same if he ever needed help. Once the mission concludes, he spends some time training, focusing mainly on his physical strength. During push-ups, he asks you to sit on his back and count his reps. Afterward, he moves on to magic training, using boulders as targets. When training ends, you take care of him by massaging his muscles, feeding him, and sometimes bathing together.

"Would you like me to wash your back my love?" Grabbing the washcloth and soap from the small basket beside both of you.

"Eh? Sure, do what you want," he said softly as he ran his fingers through his hair.

"You look so cute with your hair down! You should leave it like that," you giggle as you see the look on his face.

“Whatever…” Hearing those words come out of your mouth caused his face to turn pink and his body to tense up.

"He's so adorable," you chuckled softly as you hugged him from behind, moving your arms up around his neck and kissing his shoulders.

“What are you doing?”

"I can't show how much I love my boyfriend?" You pushed your chest against his back and whispered sweet nothings to him. He blushed so deeply that he matched the color of Erza's hair.

- When you both get ready for bed, you cuddle and chat for a few minutes about anything. He typically falls asleep first, and soon after, you follow suit, wrapping your arms around his chest for a comfortable sleep.

He always looked guilty, even if there was nothing to be guilty about. Even when he told small lies straight to your face, you acted like you didn’t know a thing, acted like you didn’t know what was going on between Mira and Laxus. It’s so painfully obvious they have a thing going on, but you kept your silence as you knew that it could lead to some major problems later on in your relationship and you weren’t ready to let him go. Not yet anyway.

‘And ain't it funny

How you ran to her

The second that we called it quits?

And ain't it funny

How you said you were friends?

Now it sure as hell don't look like it’

Looking back at it...you always knew that they were close even before Lisanna’s “death” they were close friends. You wished that they just stayed friends, but they sure as hell don’t act like they are “friends.” The moment you and Laxus broke up, who did he run to for comfort? Because it sure as hell wasn’t Freed, Bickslow, or Evergreen. They were too busy comforting you and they rarely ever did that as you were the type of woman to calm yourself down before asking others to comfort you. It was Mira—Mira was the one comforting your now ex-boyfriend, holding Laxus in her arms, wiping away his tears, and rubbing his back, assuring him that everything would be alright.

‘You betrayed me

And I know that you'll never feel sorry

For the way I hurt, yeah

You'd talk to her

When we were together

Loved you at your worst

But that didn't matter

It took you two weeks

To go off and date her

Guess you didn't cheat

But you're still a traitor

Now you bring her around

Just to shut me down

Show her off like she's a new trophy

And I know if you were true

There's no damn way that you

Could fall in love with somebody that quickly’

You were utterly broken, vulnerable, and deceived. It was incredibly painful to witness and experience firsthand. Laxus didn’t appear sorry at all; he showed no hint of sympathy or remorse. What made matters worse was knowing that Laxus was emotionally involved with Mira Jane while you two were together. You had loved and supported him through his lowest moments, even when he compelled the guild into battles to prove who belonged in 'his' Fairy Tail. Yet none of that seemed to matter. Why? Because he moved on from you in just two weeks—two agonizing weeks during which you were an emotional wreck. Meanwhile, Laxus had already found a replacement, an 'upgrade.' He may not have technically cheated, but it certainly felt that way; he shattered the promises and trust between you both. He betrayed you, and that was unforgivable. Now, he flaunts his relationship with her, parading her around as if to boost his status as a wizard or to spite you. It’s infuriating. What does Mira Jane have that’s so special? Why does she get treated this way? You were never shown off like this, never given such attention by Laxus, so why her? It’s unbelievable and profoundly unfair. It took years for him to notice you, yet it only took two weeks for him to notice her. Even if he fell in love with her during that time, it felt wrong and insincere.

‘God, I wish that you had thought this through

Before I went and fell in love with you

(Ah-ah-ah)

When she's sleeping in the bed we made

Don't you dare forget about the way

You betrayed me

'Cause I know that you'll never feel sorry

For the way I hurt, yeah

You gave me your word

But that didn't matter

It took you two weeks

But you're still

You're still a traitor (ah-ah-ah)

Yeah, you're still a traitor’

You prayed and wished that Laxus would have thought through this, considered the consequences of his actions before you emotionally committed to the relationship. You felt betrayed because you fell in love, only to be hurt later in the process. As you lie in your own bed, you wanted Laxus to feel the betrayal he had inflicted on you, hoping he would remember the past you shared, now replaced by new memories that exclude you. Despite Laxus claiming he would never hurt you or your feelings, even if Mira Jane caused that pain, he assured you he would never break your trust. But look at him now, not keeping his word and is now Mira’s boyfriend.

‘Ooh-ooh-ooh

God, I wish that you had thought this through

Before I went and fell in love with you’

Now alone, you've struggled desperately to salvage this relationship from falling apart. You've come to understand just how deeply you once mattered to Laxus, but also realized that you could never measure up to Mira Jane. From the beginning, he made it clear that she was the only woman deserving of him. Despite yearning to still be together, you've accepted that ending things was for the best. Though as heartbreaking as it sounds, it has forced you to confront the harsh reality of your true value and significance to Laxus — or rather, the painful realization that you meant nothing to him at all. Absolutely nothing.

no happy ending for you!
