Our Kittens

My Unfading Flower

[Laxus POV]

After taking the white kitten to the bar counter, I noticed that the girl that sercretly always made me happy wasn't here. That made me instantly sad. 

I didn't show any changing emotion but it seemed as though the kitten knew. She jumped out of my arms and onto the bar counter, she circled around and sat down then looked straight in my eyes with the most mesmerizing blue eyes. 

Kinda like Mira's... Where the hell is she anyways?

"Oi! Kinana, where's Mira today?" I quickly looked up from my beautiful white kitten.

Kinana walked over from where she had been cleaning some beer glasses, "I haven't seen her, but WHAT IS THAT?!" She pointed at the cat like she has never seen anything like it then scooped the kitten into her arms. Honestly the kitten looked REAL uncomfortable.

"What are you naming it?"

"Naming it...?" I didn't give it a name. I didn't even think about that... What could I name it...?

I was staring at the kitten as it was staring back at me. The kitten kind of reminded me of Mira, it had her beautiful white fur like her hair and her sparkling blue eyes and it looked gentle and strong at the same time.

"I know!" Kinana suddenly perked up, cutting off my thoughts and making Mira jump. 

"You can name her Amari! I read it means unfading flower and strength!" Unfading flower... Strength... Yeah, that's perfect!

"Alright, guess you're with me, Amari." I reach out my hand and Amari jumped out of Kinana's arms and onto mine, she slowly walked up my arm and licked my cheek. 

What is she doing?! I mean I guess that's just what kittens do... Maybe she wants milk..

I put her back down on the counter table and instead of getting Kinana to get the milk for me, I decided to stop being a lazy-ass, I should grab the milk myself since it's MY cat.

(A/N: I'm sorry I just had to say that)

I got out of my seat after Kinana left to serve some other guild members their drinks, I went behind the counter and into the kitchen where I saw Mira's apron, something I knew she wore when in the kitchen but not when serving. 

It was a pink, of course, standard apron, and it had her name sewn in white on the front. I unconsciously walked to it and smelled it, it smelled like roses and honey, a smell I would never forget.

I noticed that I was standing in the kitchen and was smelling an apron, I quickly moved away and went to the refrigerator to get some milk. I poured some in a random bowl I found and went back to see Amari patiently sitting on the counter with her tail perfectly whipped around her, she sat in perfect posture just watching the guild and the chaos that rang through it. She seems so peaceful.

I went behind her and put the bowl of milk in front of her when I smelled it, that same smell that I had smelled but it was a bit different. It was the same roses and honey but it was covered by something, as if the smell was covered by a blanket, it was strange but I quickly blew the thought away... but it still bothered me.

[Mira POV]

The day went by quite fast. It was like every other day.

But less work! Yay!

I just watched the chaos, drank some milk, ate some fish, scooted closer to Laxus every couple seconds... It was great.

Soon almost everyone had left, Laxus brought me up to the second floor of the guild to a room for when people stay over.

It had a plain white bed for one person, a lamp on a bedside table, and a small window. The window brought small bits of moonlight inside, it kept the room in a low glow.

"Amari, come here!" What a weird name, but Kinana had said that it meant something... What was it? 

"You coming?" I looked up to see Laxus already in bed, WITHOUT A SHIRT! How the hell am I supposed to sleep when he is sleeping next to me shirtless! I mean... It's a win for me but still.. I don't have a camera! How sad...

"Yes! I'm coming!" I called back, although I knew that he won't understand my words.

I ran to the bed and jumped for it but I couldn't get up, "Almost! There... Super... Close!" I hope he doesn't pick me up when he notices I can't get up alone... or else I will... AAAH!

"There ya go! You just needed a little help." He picked me up with both hands. He picked me up! And that cute face I just want to... I mean.. I started to blush from the thought. Then he did the worst of the worst, he hugged me.

"Wha-!"

"It's alright, I will help you whenever you need help, even if I have to put my life on the line. I will always protect you..." He put his forehead on mine, "Love ya-" He kissed my nose, "Mirajane Strauss!"

*POOF*

"What?!" I was in my pink pajamas that I was wearing the time the spell was casted, in his arms, in human form... on a bed. 

Kyaaa! What in the wor- What?!

My face immediately turned tomato red. "How did you know it was- But how did I retur-" I had too many questions and was extremely embarrassed. But then he put his right arm around my neck and pecked me on the lips.

He rested his forehead on mine, his eyes closed while mine remained widened from the surprise kiss, "I love you too, my unfading flower" What? He feels the same way for me? But... I don't- Oh screw it!

I didn't know I was crying till he wiped a tear off my face with his thumb. He glanced down at me with a concerned expression.

I quickly turned my head and pecked him on the lips and quickly looked back away...

Who would have thought I would fall in love with this lazy-ass lightning bolt? 

"I love you..."

I heard his soft chuckle,

"I know."
