How we came to be Miraxus

It was the year Laxus became an s class at the age of 16, being the youngest Mage in Fairy Tail to become an s class and man was he proud. He was so proud that his ego had increased, unfortunately, and he would look down to anyone he thought was too weak. In fact, he was so strong that he would abominate anyone that came in his way. Or so he would say. The only one that he couldn't defeat in battle was Gildarts. No matter how hard he tried, the old fart would beat him without even trying. And that angered Laxus to the edge.

It was also the year Mirajane had gotten her Demon Halphas and she was having one heck of a time trying to control it. Even when she isn't trying to use it, the damn demon would keep insulting her in her head. And Mirajane swore that each day she would lose her insanity. Every time she had a fight with Erza, the demon would make an attempt to take over her body, and it was driving Mirajane insane.

One day, Laxus decided to take a stroll in a forest... you know, to relax from all of his fan girls that would chase him everyday. Mavis, they were annoying. He tried to threaten them once, but he had gotten a complaint from the magic council, which didn't make any sense to Laxus at all. Laxus stopped walking when he caught a familiar scent. Mirajane. He followed the scent to find himself in a small field with Mirajane, in her Demon Halphas form, standing in the middle of it.

Laxus had never seen Mirajane in one of her Satan Soul forms before and he had to admit, he thought she looked sexy. Not that he would say it out loud. Probably trying to control the damn thing he thought. He watched her for what seemed like hours until she fell on her knees, returned to her original self, and cried. And that surprised Laxus. A lot. He had never seen her so... vulnerable.

"What are you crying for, Mirajane?" He asked and he smiled when her saw her stiffen.

"L-Laxus? What are you doing here?" She asked. And Laxus swore he had never heard her talk so softly before and he kinda liked it. "Go away" she said coldly. And Laxus was surprised how fast her tone had changed. Still, he felt sorry for the kid so he gave her one thing a caring person would do, a hug. Mirajane would never admit it, but it felt nice.

After two read faces and one awkward silence later...

"Now do you want to tell me what you were crying about?" and Laxus smiled when Mirajane nodded but frowned when she pushed away from him.

"Every day, she would try to get into my head. She would call me weak, tell me that I'm not worth everyone's time. I'm a monster Laxus. Everyone thinks of me as the demon Mirajane, not Mira of Fairy Tail. No one cares about me Laxus." Laxus was surprised, he never could have guessed that Mirajane was so insecure.

"Lots of people care about you. Master cares about you, Lisanna and Elfman cares about you, heck even Erza cares about you!" Laxus said sincerely and added "I care about you"
Earning a red faced Mirajane. Clearing his voice he said "Look, if you need help controlling that demon, then I will be more than willing to" and he couldn't help but smile when he saw her face light up.

And so, by the end of the day, Mirajane, with the help of Laxus, had finally been able to control Halphas and the two sat down to watch the sunset.

"Thanks Laxus" Mirajane said and looked up at him to see his amused face and quickly added "your still a jerk though" and Laxus couldn't help but laugh earning a pout from the oldest Strauss.

"You owe me" Laxus said making the girl glare at him. He would never admit it, but the glare gave him the chills. "We should be getting back now" he said standing up "Mira"
Making the younger girl blush. And as they were heading back Mirajane no Mira couldn't help but think maybe he isn't so bad after all.
