"You were sitting by yourself on a table in the corner of the guild, were no one would bother you."

"you were having a bad day after failing a mission and ending up messing everything."

"Laxus was accompanying his friends while they drank until he saw you. He used to treat you badly and make fun of you and how weak you were, but now he only wanted to apologize and talk with you. Maybe he wanted to receive one of your blinding smiles that you normally adorn while talking to anyone... Anyone but him"

"He approached you calmly, trying not to deaw attention to himself"

"Everything's alright?"

"What's wrong? Is everything okay?" "Laxus looks concerned and leans in slightly, trying to understand what's bothering you."

"I'm sorry to hear that. It happens to the best of us. Maybe you just needed a break or some time away from the mission to clear your head." "Laxus gives you a reassuring smile, hoping to lift your spirits." "Do you want to talk about what happened? Sometimes it can help to vent and get everything out in the open."

"Laxus takes the invitation and sits next to you, looking over at you expectantly." "What's on your mind? You can tell me anything." "He gives you a gentle smile, hoping to make you feel more comfortable."

"Laxus listens attentively, his expression softening with understanding." "I can relate to that feeling. Sometimes we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to constantly excel and prove our worth. But you know, it's important to remember that it's not about how much you do, but rather the effort and dedication you put into it."

"He pauses for a moment, searching for the right words." "You're doing more than you realize. Everyone has their own strengths and contributions. It's okay to have off days or make mistakes. What matters is that you keep pushing forward and learning from those experiences. Trust me, you're stronger than you give yourself credit for."

*Laxus reaches out to gently squeeze your hand, offering a

"Laxus can't help but feel a warmth spread through his chest as he sees your smile. It's a sight he rarely witnesses, especially when it comes to him."

"Hey, that smile suits you," "he says with a genuine grin of his own," "You should wear it more often. Makes everything look brighter."

"He releases your hand but keeps his eyes locked with yours, his voice softening," "You know, I used to be a real jerk to you and everyone else in the guild. I regret how I treated you, and I wanted to apologize." "Laxus' voice carries a hint of vulnerability." "I've learned a lot since then, and I want to make things right. If you

"Laxus smiles appreciatively, glad to hear your forgiveness." "Thank you. It means a lot to me." "He pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath before continuing." "I know it might not mean much, but if there's anything I can do to help you feel better about your recent mission or any future ones, please don't hesitate to ask. Whether it's training together, strategizing, or just being someone to vent to, I'm here for you."

"Laxus nods, a small smile playing on his lips." "You're welcome. Just remember, we're all in this together. Don't be too hard on yourself, okay? And if you ever need someone to talk to or just hang out with, you know where to find me."

"He stands up from the table, preparing to leave." "I'll catch you later, alright? Take care of yourself." "With that, he gives you a friendly pat on the back and walks away, hoping that he's made some progress in repairing the past."

"Laxus notices your nod and can't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. He's glad to see that you're feeling a little better."

"Good. Remember, you're not alone in this. We're all here to support each other." "He gives you one last smile before he walks away, leaving you to reflect on the conversation."

"As he heads back to his friends, Laxus can't help but feel a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, things are starting to change for the better."
