❝He and I, we were black and white. So different, yet so similar. Where he was blunt, I was kind. Where I was obedient, he was a rebel. So, when he left me, it truly did feel like I lost my other half. I have no one to balance me out, and no one to...
I violently ripped the gauze from the roll and wrapped it around my knuckles. I enjoyed utilizing my magic through hand-to-hand combat, and I'd rather not have bloody knuckles while fighting.
"(Y/n), where are you going?" Laxus sighed.
"Where do you think?" I muttered back without looking at Laxus. "To get Mae back."
"(Y/n), we don't even know where to look! We have no idea where this bastard is hiding."
"I'll find him." I snapped, getting angry now.
I stood up and started storming towards the forest. Bad guys always hide in creepy places; stereotypes are somewhat accurate, right?
"(Y/n) stop! Use your brain- I know you have one. You have zero idea where you're going and who this guy is." Laxus roughly grabbed my shoulder and turned me around to face him.
"I can't just let him get away with this! Did you see the look on that mother's face? Both of her babies have been kidnapped. I can't just sit around and- mmph!"
Laxus smashed his lips against mine with his eyes squeezed shut. I widened my eyes for a moment before accepting and melting into the kiss.

Laxus' hand moved down to my waist and suddenly I felt a sharp jab in my stomach.
I pulled away from the kiss and down to my stomach to see Laxus' large fist punching me. My (e/c) eyes grew wide and I looked up at Laxus in confusion. He had a stoic yet sorrowful look in his eye.
"I'm sorry." He whispered as black spots appeared in my vision.
"Laxus..." I said weakly, reaching my hand to his cheek and grazing my fingertips along it, before my arm went limp and I fainted.

I woke up from a dreamless sleep with a jolt in a cold sweat. Memories of what had happened moments before I fainted rushed over me like a tidal wave.
"Finally awake?" I turned around and saw Laxus standing over me with a stern look on his face. He handed me a plate of eggs and bacon. "You slept through the night completely silent. For a moment I thought I had killed you." He chuckled.
My stomach growled as I looked down at the food in front of me. I began to gobble it up. "Why did you knock me out?" I murmured, surprisingly not as angry as I thought I would be.
"You were being illogical. You wanted to go after this asshole when we had nothing on him." Laxus emotionlessly.
I stayed silent and stared at the empty plate in my lap.
"You're always the one to think things through... you've really grown attached to this little girl." He spoke slightly sympathetically, which was unexpected.
