Sparks Fly | A Miraxus Fan-Fiction

7: Misunderstandings

I'm such a fucking idiot. I said all that shit right in front of her, what the fuck is wrong with me? I'm so stupid. "Really dude? Are you that stupid?" Gajeel asked, which was not helping. After Mirajane stormed out, almost everyone's eyes were on me. Not a single gaze was positive, and I could tell I managed to piss off an entire room with my stupid outburst. "What?" I regretted saying that out loud as soon as I said it, but I was just so spaced out in thought that I didn't process. "Are you serious? What do you mean what?" Natsu asked, standing up and looking clearly pissed off. Lucy had already ran out after Mirajane, so I didn't exactly have his handler to keep him on leash. "Laxus, do you have any idea how bad Mirajane has missed you all this time? You keep thinking all your fights was a sign of how much she hates you but that's far from it." Gray says, only for Natsu to interject. "No, of course he didn't. Because he's too damn dense to realize it!" That started to piss me off, as if I was gonna be scolded by this pink haired brat.

"Listen flame for brains I didn't-" I didn't even get to finish as Natsu cuts me off. "No this is the part where you shut up and listen! You're so fucking dense it's infuriating! You should've seen her after you stormed out six years ago. She was broken hearted Laxus. She really likes you and she felt awful about what happened but you wouldn't know because you only ever think about yourself!" Natsu continued to shout, but I finally had enough. I clenched my fist and let loose a swift punch to the side of his jaw. Natsu stumbled back, but he quickly recovered and lunged forward. He tackled me to the ground, causing us both to trip over the couch. The fight quickly made its way outside, flames and sparks starting to form as punch after punch was thrown. "Actually you know what? Like is an understatement. Mira's in love with you! And I feel sorry for her because she is in love with a selfish, egotistical, piece of shit!" I punched Natsu again to shut him up. By now, Gray and Erza had rushed outside to try and stop the fight, everyone else just watching on as it continued.

Mira is in love with me? There is no way. Natsu was just talking out his ass, taking my little fuck up as an excuse to scold me. If Mira was in love with me, I would know. I would have to know! Right? I couldn't think much about it as Natsu sends another punch flying, I dodge out of the way just in time as flames ignited from his fist. "She doesn't like me like that! You need to fucking back off dragon!" I snap back, only to get shoved by Gray who was now siding with Natsu apparently. "Yes she does! Why do you keep denying that?" Gray was also starting to get pissed off by the looks of it, and Erza finally stepped in before someone got seriously hurt. There was some scrapes and bruises, but no one was injured beyond that. "That's enough. Laxus, frankly I don't care about you or your issues. But Mira is my friend, and I'm sick of these games you two keep playing. So for once, you're not gonna fight, you're not gonna play games. You are marching over to her house right now, and you are gonna sit down and talk about all of this." Erza snapped, holding her sword to my chest as if threatening me.

"And so help me if you do not bring her back here with you, I will make you regret it." I scoffed at this, getting up off the ground and brushing the dust off. "Fine! I'll go get her." I started walking, ignoring the glares I could feel hitting me in the back of the head. I know I fucked up with what I said, but it's not like I said anything that bad. Mira doesn't like me like that, and I'll prove it to all these dumb fucks right now. I mean, sure I liked that she used to yell at me and fight with me. She challenged be when no one else did, actually seemed to acknowledge me as a worthy adversary. She was one of the only ones that treated me like a person, like a friend. She was never scared to talk to me or be near me like others. But that didn't mean that she loved me. All those times where she offered to listen or tried to talk about things, that didn't mean anything. Did it? Now that I think about it, why was Mira always trying to talk about feelings with me? Why did she care so much when I was upset?

Oh fuck.

I really am such a fucking idiot. Even though we were fighting, we loved fighting each other. We loved picking on each other and spending time with one another. The fighting was an excuse, it was all just a big excuse. We loved each other. Why did it take me so long to realize it? I didn't let her in, so she found a way in. Constantly pushing my buttons and getting a rise out of me so I'd actually talk with her. As I finally reach her house, I could hear her crying from inside. I slowly open the door, walking towards the bedroom where the two were currently talking. I was stopped dead in my tracks as I hear Mira's voice from down the hall. "I don't need Laxus. His opinion doesn't matter. He is nothing to me." I hear Mira say from the other side. I froze in place, taking in what I had just heard.

I knew it. She doesn't love me, she just said it herself. Why did I ever let any of those stupid pathetic wizards convince me otherwise? For a moment, I let them actually make me believe that the demon twerp had feelings for me. Maybe I am better off without this guild, I'm so sick of all this worthless drama.
