zai says- let’s take this from the top (this takes place post tartous btw)

ˏˋ«────── « 𓆩♡𓆪 » ──────»

it’s been about a year since the fairy tail guild disbanded, in that time you an laxus moved in together.

you stirred in your sleep gently waking up. you opened your eyes greeted by a still sleep laxus your head was resting on his chest while his arm was still around you from the night before. you slowly sat up and he grumbled “mhm.” he pulled you back down “five more minutes.”

it didn’t feel like he gave you much of a choice “we have to wake up at some point the thunder legion is probably waiting for us at blue pegasus.” he grabbed the back of your thigh pulling you closer and hoisting it over his own legs “so? let them wait.” he turned his head so his lips could brush the top of your head.

“don’t you have a quest to go on?” you asked as you idly traced over the spot where his fairy tail guild mark used to be, a small habit of yours that he came to love.

“no” he lies. he finally opens his eyes to look at you “what you want me gone that bad?” he lightly jokes.

“i just want you to get up” you chuckle lightly. he closes his eyes again and pulls you closer to him “mhm nah baby.”

you shift so you’re straddling him, his hands immediately move to your hips on instinct and he cracks one eye open looking at you as if he was silently asking what you were up to “i’ll give you five more minutes but that’s it” he rubs circles on your hips “whatever you say baby.”

laxus x youuuu but ur literally..

"if u need to be mean be mean to me"

"if you need to break more than trinkets in your room, you can lean on my arm as you break my heart"

"just dont leave me alone wondering where you are , i am stronger than you give me credit for"

idk what i was going for here 💔

you weren't s class, but you were pretty close.

you could control one of the bases of human life - bones. it wasn't magic, more like an ability. they spoke to you, little whispers, guidance. in a adults body there are 206 bones, and every single one of them is yours. in some way, the bones are yours, eternally connected to you - the bones aren't who's body they're found in's, the bones are yours. and if that wasn't enoigh, you had an ancient, forbidden charm magic tucked in your sleeve too. a siphoning magic, the ability to give or take magic power through a link you cast - the link can be placed in seconds, and theres not really a limit on who it can be placed on. so! you were pretty powerful, not that laxus saw it of course. all he saw was strength, combat ability. hes into the flashy stuff, stuff that is shown, the stuff that wins.

you didn't mind though, because you knew deep down, he was into you too! he had to be, right? you guys have been together since you were 16, and your 7th anniversary is coming up!

laxus has been a little distant lately, but its okay. hes always distracted, distracted with worth, distracted with anything really. you were just happy he wasn't angry, because when he was mad, it got really bad.

hes a sweet boy, i know he is. i can hear it in his bones, his kindness. i see it in how he spares the animals he finds on the roads, feeding them, i see it in how he doesn't kill insects, instead letting them roam free. he's gentle, and kind, and sweet. he doesn't show it but i know he is.

his grandfather describes it too, whenever i speak to makarov, he reminisces over the laxus i can hear in the bones. the kind, sweet, gentle boy.

makarovs bones groan and creak, straining from age. hes going to be here for way longer though, his bones are strong, sturdy. his bones also speak kindness, but not in the same way as laxus. makarovs bones are kind in the justifying way. i hear the kindness of a teacher in his bones, and the kindness of a guardian in laxus's.

however, this doesn't seem to be an inherited trait. kindness runs in their bones, but does not run in their blood. ivans bones are dry, and hard. they aren't strained with age yet, but sound to be tired - tired of what, im not sure. ivans bones are greedy, gluttonous. i hear it, the desire for success. the willingness to pit others down, sometimes i hear this in laxus too, but i know it's not genuine like it is in ivans. ivans bones are brittle, while makarov and laxus's are flexible, and strong. ivans bones reek, the noises they make grating against my ears, his bones begging for forgiveness deep down. guilty bones. guilt for what, i'm not sure.

the bones consume me sometimes, all i listen to is them. i'm not sure.

you climbed up the stairs to the 2nd floor of the guild hall, finding laxus lounging with his feet propped up.

"hey," i mumbled, before taking a seat next to him. his headphones were in so he couldn't hear me, but i knew he knew i was here. he continued listening to his music, as if i wasnt here at all.

sometimes i wish i was his music, occupying his ears, his brain. instead of just his bones. i wish i was what he heard, what he loved so much, i wish he paid attention to me like he did to his music. but it's okay, hes usually occupied by something.

i tapped on laxus's shoulder, before pulling off his headphones.

Pushin’ It

Laxus x AFAB!reader

Summary: You and Laxus are training when your period starts to hate you at a bad time.

Warnings: mentions of period cramping and hormones, no pronouns used, training, crying

A/N: should i make a pt 2?

Once again, you were knocked off your feet and onto the ground. The lightning dragon slayer stood over you with a smirk.

When we got back to Magnolia, the guild told us that we’d been gone for 7 YEARS. It only felt like days to us.

As we arrived at the guild, a bunch of jerks were messing with Romeo so naturally, everyone rushed in and kicked their asses.

“Look who’s back!” Natsu grinned.

After Makarov explained what had happened to the rest of the guild, we managed to pack 7 years of drinking and partying into one night.

At around one am I decided I’d had enough, still exhausted from ‘recent events. I offered Laxus a place to stay at mine and he looked at me bewildered.

“You musta had too much to drink cutie!” He laughed, “It’s been 7 years, I don’t think your landlord left your apartment for you.”

“I don’t live in an apartment, dummy!”

“What?”

I rolled my eyes, “I finally got enough to buy a small townhouse near the water. I own it so it should still be there.”

“Oh wow really?” He asked excited, “And you’re gonna let me stay with you?!”

“D’ya hear that Bickslow? Ha! I got the best girlfriend in the whole world!” He put his arms around me.

“Wow you’re really drunk.” I huffed as he lost his balance. “Let’s get you to bed, huh?”

“Only if it’s your bed,” He mumbled, making my face go red. “You’re so cute when you blush!”

I somehow managed to get him to my place, nearly dropping him as i dug through my bag for the key.

Since I knew I’d be away for maybe weeks at a time, I got a friend to cast an anti-dust spell in the house, so even after 7 years, it was spotless.

I lugged him to the couch and unceremoniously dropped him there. I went to get him a blanket from the closet and when I came back he was out. His face was red from all the booze and there was a small smile on his face. Covering him with the blanket, I kissed his forehead. “Night ya big idiot.”

I trudged to my room and changed into a comfy nightgown before flopping back onto my king-sized bed. Was it a bit much for a woman living alone? Maybe. But hell, it was comfy!

~~~~~

I opened my eyes when I felt the bed dip, the clock read 2:43 am.

“Huh?” I looked over, “Laxus?”

He didn’t answer right away, just crawled under the covers and rested his head on my chest. “I really missed you ya know?”

His arms wrapped around my waist and I hummed while running my fingers through his hair.

“Missed you too...” I trailed off as I fell back asleep.

boyfriend!laxus who is a sucker for hip dips, he as no real reason to but he loves them. he loves seeing you in clothing that shows them off too

shadows had been morphing around the blonde for days, little flickers of darkness swiveling around in his vision. he felt maybe he was going insane, perhaps he had been hit on the head by a vulcan one too many times.

but seeing those little flickers of darkness was nothing in comparison to FEELING them, to be grabbed and touched by the shadows - or maybe one singular shadow - was a different story.

and once he started hearing the whispers, it was done. laxus was convinced he had lost his mind, late at night, as he attempted to doze off into his slumber, he would hear faint little murmurs. the voice was soft, with a dreary sadness to it, a desperate yearning sound. yearning to be helped, to be comforted, maybe even a yearning to be loved.

so imagine laxus’s shock when he started seeing faces, or not faces - a singular face. her face. he hadn’t seen it before, and he convinced himself it was his imagination, but he saw it everywhere. in his dreams, in the shadows, in the steam, in the smoke, in the flames, even in his own lighting - he saw her face. she was pretty, with a desperate sadness in her eyes. when he’d stopped being scared, and he focused on parts of the darkness of his room, he would see her. sometimes only for a few seconds, sometimes he would watch her weep.

rather guiltily he would admit he liked hearing her cry, it was soothing for him, it helped him sleep at times.

on the contrary, it was absolutely terrifying for him when she wasn’t crying, because she would stand, and she would stare. she would stare at the boy in his bed, seeing beyond his physical body and understanding his soul. she saw him beyond what he was, how he acted and who he pretended to be. she saw him rawly, she saw him for what he was - from the beauty of his love, to the violence in his lust. she saw his pain, his suffering, his need. over time, she began to more clearly follow him around, learning about his guild, staying just a shadow.

eventually however, on a particularly dreary hallows eve, as laxus was listening to her cries to fall asleep, she moved. she took slow, small steps towards his bed, and oddly enough, he wasn’t scared. when she sat down next to him, touching his hair, he didn’t flinch away.

her beautiful, sad eyes met his but he didn’t speak.

he found comfort in her touch, letting her stay by him, until he fell asleep and woke up with her gone again.

at that point, he was convinced he was losing it. maybe he was just lonely, maybe he just wanted a girlfriend?

and so he tried that, he found a girl, and invited her into his house.

now imagine his shock when he and the girl took their business into his bedroom, and the spirit he had been interacting with was already seated on his bed, but she looked different this time.

she looked insane.

a pool of blood was collecting at her feet - the source of the blood you ask? from the gaping hole in her chest. it appeared as if she had carved her own heart out and held it in her hands, the devastating sadness still apparent in her eyes.

and imagine how much more shocked laxus was when the girl next to him screamed in fear, running out of his home. she could see her too?

laxus watched her and had no idea what to do, his mouth agape as she stood, her wounds healing and the heart transforming into an apple. she took slow steps toward him, as she turned back into the beautiful apparition he saw every night, and she handed him the apple, with a soft smile on her face.

“please.. don’t do that again..” she spoke in barely a whisper, as she walked through the man frozen in fear, disappearing.

she didn’t appear to him for a week after that, and he was plagued with nightmares for a week.

at that point, he didn’t know what to do. should he tell the master about it? or would the old geezer put him in some ward?

the spirit continued to visit him, progressively becoming realer, getting touchier and even speaking to him.

a/n- i am in love with this man we should have had him in this arc we were ROBBED having to wait till tenrou just to see him again is insane

"everything is so strange here, like what's up with lucy." you mumbled to wendy while pointing at lucy who had natsu in one of her 'techniques' "I know right everything is odd, it's like they're completely different people-"

"what are you two doing under the table?" the two of you jumped at the sound of the voice, however, the voice was familiar to you and despite the accusation that scared you out of your skin it was almost soothing.

you and wendy stood up from under the table and you made eye contact with the person who called you out, at the sight of each other your eyes went wide and your jaws fell slack.

"y/n?" "laxus?" the two of you spoke in unison, you wanted to wrap your arms around him and tell him how you missed him and thought of him every single day, but, you knew he wasn't your laxus. you could only assume he came to the same realization as you, his shock was replaced with longing, and his arms rested awkwardly at his sides as he hesitated to reach out to you "can we speak outside? we kind of have an audience" he nodded his head to his guildmembers and your guildmembers who started in shock "sure."

you leaned against the outside of the guild, shuffling your feet awkwardly speechless at his presence.

"i know you're not my y/n, you're so familiar to me yet so different to me at the same time" he chuckled "it's freaky." you noticed how he awkwardly had his hands in his pockets, the nervousness on laxus wasn't something you were used to it was cute even if you were ever able to see him again you couldn't wait to tell him about this world.

"if it's not too much trouble for you what happened to me? err... the y/n of this world i mean." you spoke gently not wanting to overstep your bounds.

"you were expelled, right before the master died you were reckless and challenged the kingdom putting everyone in danger, so as a result you were expelled from the guild."

you laughed "how ironic, the laxus i know was the one who got expelled he was a real piece of work. he's also not this nervous" you teased. he couldn't help but be embarrassed, with his y/n's face being the same as yours your comment got to him, and he looked away from you to hide the faint blush on his cheeks.
