21. Fantasia's Quodlibet And Reminiscence

Laxus finally had enough. He stood up and marched over to a table and narrowed his eyes at the girl sitting there. She just looked at him with disinterest when he stood near her.

"Why do you keep staring at me?"

"I am not staring at you."

"Bullshit, you think I don't see you? You're not as discreet as you think."

Pandora clenched her fists under the table and glared at him.

"Hey, relax!" Wakaba laughed at Laxus. "Maybe Pandora's just got a crush on you or something! No need to be so harsh."

SLAM!

Laxus watched the girl stomp away without another word after she slammed her hands on the table when she shot up from her seat.

"I think you made her mad." Macao whispered to Wakaba after watching the girl leave the guild.

He threw his hands up. "Why are you yelling at me?!"

"Be... Because! You keep hanging around my sister, who do you think you are?!"

Laxus' eye twitched. "She's the one who hangs around me. I'm not going to be a dick and tell her to fuck off!"

"You should!" Pandora seethed. "I would prefer it if you did!"

Laxus stared at her with irritation. He didn't get why this girl was all angry with him for just socializing with her little sister. She liked to hang around him and people in the guild teased him about being Karissa's brother since they were growing close to each other. Wait. His eyebrows shot up. Was that it?

A smirk appeared on his lips when he realized why Pandora was all angry with him. "I get it. You just have a little sister complex, huh?" he teased her and she just looked surprised by what he said. "No wonder you keep—"

With click of her tongue, Pandora turned on her heel and walked away from him angrily. "Shut up!"

Laxus was seriously fed up with the oldest Sinclost. "This girl is weird as hell."

On Master Makarov's orders, Laxus and Pandora were forced to go on a job together. He knew what he was doing when he decided that. However, he figured that this would be a good way to get them on good terms once they got to know each other.

It was quiet. The two were sitting across from each other in the train and no one was willing to talk to the other. Pandora had made it clear that she hated him while Laxus just didn't want to deal with her at all.

The black haired girl peeked up at Laxus timidly and just saw him with his eyes closed as he listened to his music. This made her lower her eyes and look outside the window. She knew she was in the wrong but she just couldn't help but lash out like she did. It was her self-defense mechanism.

"... Hey, Laxus."

The boy opened his eyes slowly and shifted his eyes towards her, he didn't bother verbally answering her.

"About last time..."

Laxus only sighed tiredly and closed his eyes. The last thing he wanted was to talk about some argument she started. "Look, I really don't care—"
