Dandelion heart (A faeries soul sequel) Elfman and Evergreen

Everything has a silver lining

Mirajane took a sip of hot coffee.
'Ah this is nice. Such a nice quiet morning -'
Natsu started screaming at Laxus and with a bang he was nearly thrown off the ship when Laxus punched him.
'Did I say quiet?' Mirajane giggled and took a sip of coffee. It was nearly midday and everybody had only just now woken up from the amazing party yesterday, except a few who remained in the ship. Most of the rescue group was eating and drinking on the deck where they gratefully breathed in the crisp autumn morning air high in the clouds.

"That party was amazing Christopher" Mirajane complemented and took a bite from an apple.

"I be a modest man" Christopher said with his head bowed. Cameron who's face was buried in a newspaper snorted with disbelief.
"But even I must say. Last night was something else" the captain said and glared at Cameron.

"I'd say" Natsu said and shook his sore head and pointed to Freed and Laxus.
"Those two nearly came out of the closet".
Thunder crashed and this time Natsu was thrown off the ship. Only to be caught by Happy.

"You should've let him fall" Laxus growled and took a vicious bite from bread. Nobody mentioned his blush.

"Ah Everybody had a good time. Not just those two" Christopher smiled and took a sip of orange juice.

"Not everybody is here though" Bickslow grinned his green eyes twinkling. Ever since that huge storm the team had flown through, Bickslow has yet to replace his helmet.

"Oh yeah" Wendy looked up from her tea. "Where's Elfman and Evergreen?".
Cameron buried his nose deeper into his newspaper. Nobody saw his grin.

"Well Elfman has been having pretty terrible sleep" Wendy mused and Mirajane nodded.

"Elfman is tired..." Mira agreed despondently  and took another sip of coffee.

"And Evergreen-" Wendy began.

"I bet their cabin is getting steamy because they are having blood boiling, heart attack worthy sex" Bickslow grinned.

Mirajane's eyes bugged and a geyser of coffee was spat across and over the side of the ship. Wendy nearly choked on her grape and her face went bright red. Cameron nearly burst out laughing but managed to turn it into a snort.

Christopher calmly put his glass down on the rail and pointed a finger at Bickslow.
"You Bickslow. Are very lucky my son isn't here at the moment" Christopher turned and saw Wendy's terrible blush.
"Oh, sorry lass" Christopher glared at Bickslow and pointed at Wendy in emphasis.

"But you aren't denying it" Bickslow cackled and his dolls chanted, 'aren't denying it'.

Christopher scowled and let his hands fall. 'Well Evergreen is very pretty, and they are young....' Christopher tried to ignore the likelihood that they had indeed done the deed.

"NO!"
The group jumped and looked bemusedly at Mirajane. She paced up and down the deck her face red and her movements fast.

"Elfman is tired and sick and, and..." she scrambled for a decent excuse for Evergreen.
"Just NO!" Mirajane yelled and stormed off to the door at a run.

"Oh no, big sis is gonna cock block baby bro" Bickslow shook his head with a grin and Freed sighed disapprovingly at his teammate.
"HURRY AND GET YOUR PANTS ON ELFMAN!" Bickslow screamed at Mirajane.

"SHUT UP BICKSLOW!" Mirajane screamed back and disappeared inside.

Cameron was unable to smother his laughter this time.

Warm sunlight warmed Elfman's skin as it shined through the window and onto his bare skin. Elfman fluttered his eyelids and smiled at the curve of Evergreen's back that filled most of his view.
