Chapter 11

Chapter 11:

Have you ever been in a situation where you desperately want a time machine to just simply fall from the sky?

Or in a situation where you've been trying your best to hypnotize your senses and deceive your brains so that you can continue to tell yourself that everything is just a big bad dream and that when you wake up, you'll find yourself in your comfy bed, under your warm blankets with a fluffy pillow and then you'll get up and get yourself something warm to drink and just laugh at that bad dream you've just had?

Well if yes, then maybe you know exactly what Lucy Hearfilia is feeling right now.

Oh how she wishes that she's not in a creepy woods in the middle of who knows where hunting for sexually frustrated dragon slayers under the influence of mating season...oops I mean, Dragon Festival and definitely not in between of two crazy mages, who actually turns out to be her teammates and is actually in the middle of killing each other.

"What are you doing here Gray?" Natsu said as he snarled at the ice mage.

"How about you!? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be knocked out by Freed?" Gray said, glaring at pink-haired mage or to be exact at the hand holding Lucy's waist. "Shouldn't you be asleep and having fun with your doom land"

"..." Natsu was silent then he looked at Lucy and said "By the way what happened in your room?"

And Lucy only went "huh?" on him.

"I mean, I remember the part where I placed you to your bed, get you some change of clothes, a towel, and hot water," He said as he looked at the confused expression of the blonde "And afterward I don't remember anything or rather my memory is kinda hazy?"

"You seriously don't remember? Any of THAT?" Lucy asked with her eyebrow raised again.

"What THAT?" Natsu asked and for some odd reason, Lucy doesn't know how to feel whether to be relieved of him forgetting everything, even her outburst of confession or feel disappointed.

"Wait a second. You sure you're not playing tricks on me or anything?" Lucy asked as she suspiciously looked at the pink-haired.

"Tricks? No, I'm not" He said. Then with one last look, Lucy sighed and said: "Well you better not or else who knows what might happen to you."

And yes, who knows what might happen to him if she learns that he's lying. Well honestly speaking a Celestial Mage under some weird pressure and tension for the last let's say a few hours might go berserk to anyone whom they've just snap at.

"Ahem" Gray said, who said coughing can only be used by sicked people? Well for a distraction or maybe getting someone's attention a cough or two will do the trick "Lucy, get away from him! Who knows what he'll do to you. It's just the first night of the mating season"

"Mating What?" Natsu asked "Hey Gray just because you want Lucy to your side, you can't just tell lies. Just what the heck are you talking about?"

"Oh yeah! How could I forgot!" Lucy said as she immediately breaks away from Natsu and I must say, wrong move Lucy. Wrong Move, because the dragon slayer definitely didn't like it.

"Lucy what are you doing? Why are you listening to him!?" He asked with anger and hurt tone in his voice.

"Wait! Natsu! Listen to me first," She said "Let me asked you something. You don't know anything about the Dragon Festival."

"Dragon Festival? Will Igneel be there!?" He said with so much eagerness.

"Err. No.." She said, "How about Mating Season...now does it ring a bell?"

"Mating Season? Just what the heck is that?" He asked and from the looks of it, he doesn't have any idea of what's going on.

"Gray...how come he doesn't know it!?" Lucy asked

"Well maybe because before he could know anything about it he was knocked out by Mystogan so he didn't get the chance to actually know," He said as he walks towards the blonde mage.

"And you guys didn't even tell him? You have a year to tell him about these things!" Lucy said as she felt herself snap, I mean come on WHO WOULDN'T? They have a year to tell him these sort of things and they just went quiet.

"I told you to calm down. The reason why Master didn't tell it is that he thinks that it might be for the best and no one foresaw the fact that Mystogan will be leaving or that a whole seven years would pass by and things did pretty hectic just like that" He said with a sigh.

"Okay guys, seriously I don't get what you are saying," Natsu said, irritated by the fact that these two are talking about something he doesn't know.

"Sigh...Okay...We're going to explain it to you so listen first okay!" Lucy said, "But before that I want to ask you how are you feeling right now?"

"Feeling? Hmm..pretty much normal" He said "Aside from the fact that I'm getting pissed off at that Ice brain"

"Watch it Flame breath," Gray said as he glared at him.

"Fire...!"

"Ice make!...!"

"ENOUGH!" Lucy yelled as she glared at the two of them "STOP IT BOTH OF YOU!"

"AYE!" The two said as they happily acted to get along well.

"Haven't you've had enough!? Look around you! The trees, everything is destroyed because of your petty fight!" Lucy said.

"I'm so sorry!" The two chorused.

"Anyway listen up Natsu," Lucy said "Cause if you're in your normal state then I guess its better if we tell you what's happening to you, as the dragon slayer so you better listen"

"Okay..." He said not exactly sure of what's about to happen "I'm all ears"

"This might take long but I'll try to make it short..." Lucy said as she began to tell him about everything that happened, well skipping a few parts like him touching her and her confession.

-Meanwhile At the southern part of the Forest-

"Let me go!" A long-haired girl said as she tried to break free from the hands of a certain dragon slayer.

"..."

"Laxus! Wake up!" She said "You're under the spell of the mating season! Don't you remember!"

"..."

"Argh..." She screamed in frustration as she tried to get away from him.

"Why can't I use my powers?"

"..."

"Laxus!" She yelled as she felt her tears falls from the corner of her deep azure eyes, she's been frustrated and under a lot of stress since the whole season started and frustrated?

Well, its because this blonde man in front of her hasn't been talking to her for five months already and yes, the cupid of fairy tail hasn't been much of cupid to her own love story.

Laxus Dreyar, froze...as he saw the tears falling from her beautiful eyes.

Gently, with his right hand he wipes her tears and what made the white-haired girl shocked is not because of his actions but rather because of the pained yet gentle expression that this man, Laxus Dreyar is showing.

With her left hand, she places it on top of his right hand and holds it gently.

"Laxus...come on. Please say something" She said with loneliness in her voice "You've been ignoring me for the last five months, not a single call, talk...nothing. I...*sniff* I don't want you to go on a mission again without saying anything"

"..."

"Please...Laxus, if you don't say a word. You might fall to the dragon's festival and be bound by it forever" Mira said as she gives the blonde mage a tight hug. "Laxus...please...just a word...anything will do..."

As soon as she hugged the dragon slayer, her tears that she thought stop...started to fall again as if a sudden rush of nostalgia came to her.

This scent, this warmth...oh how she misses him. She doesn't know why but since that month, Laxus stop talking to her, he even avoided making eye contact with her and right now just when she's on the run from all the craziness of this stuff, He suddenly just appeared and take her away to this forest.

"Laxus..."

"Mira..."

Did he just say her name? Or she heard it wrong? What is happening? Her tears continue to fall as her hug tightens. "Laxus...Laxus..."

"Mira...why are you crying?" He asked.

Then the white-haired mage let go of him, as she glared at him and said: "Why am I crying?"

"..."

"Well let's just say that you've been ignoring me for FIVE freaking months!" She said as she snaps at him, letting go of her bottled-up frustration "You just suddenly left, go to missions and when you do return to the guild for some time but you've never once talked to me or even dare to look at me. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO? LAUGH AT YOU?"

Yup, she just snapped.

The usual gentle, caring and kind-hearted Majin Mira/Demon Mira just snap at him, as her tears continue to fall.

Oh if Macao, Wakaba or even the Master saw that their idol and super popular gravure model is crying because of this man, Laxus Dreyar then I bet he'll be hunted by them now.

"I'm sorry," Laxus said, "I..I just don't know what to do after that."

"After that? What? After kissing me?" She said as she scoffed at him.

"No, not just about the kiss, "Laxus said "I don't know what to do anymore"

"..." Mira kept quiet as one of the strongest male mage in fairy tail is in this state, everyone would never believe that its Laxus in front of them.

"...I...I don't know what to do Mira" He said with a pain expression "I...I've never been confused for a girl this much, I never would have thought that I'm capable of feeling like this. Sigh...I don't even know what I'm saying"

Pouting, Mira took a step towards him and said "You don't get it do you?"

"Huh?"

"Well let me tell you.." She said and before he could say or do anything else...everything doesn't seem to matter anymore as he felt her soft lips into his.

All the logical things, all the what if's and his pessimistic thoughts were gone.

He finally knew the answer to his questions and who would have thought that it will be so easy!?

And his questions as to why did he brought Mira here, and why is Mira the first person he ever thinks when he woke up from Freed's spell... and now...

now he knows why.

. .

He kissed back, not wanting to let go of her lips and only stopping for a few seconds to take a breath.

If he could only be with her forever if she could stay like this with him forever. Selfish thoughts and wanting more of her appear to his mind. And as if he's being hypnotized by someone, he felt himself crossing the boundaries.

He pushes Mira to the soft bed of leaves, pinning her down with his strong arms and not stopping for a single minute. He continues to cross that boundary as he lost himself in his love and pleasure. No...as he lost himself from her and the mating season.

It looks like he finally found him, his most important person and his mate forever and he doesn't have any plans of letting her go.

She might try to break free or run away from him but he'll never stop, he'll never let go. Even if he crossed the line, he'll do it just to make sure that she'll be his forever cause he would never let go.

Not her. Just not her.
