Lava Shards: A Fairy Tail Fanfiction

The 1,000,000 Jewel Job

"Baka" a dark haired woman says behind him. "You might as well said the whole thing was a nickname" she said with fury while her pink-sleeved arm crashes down on his head.

I try to laugh it off but it comes out as a really awkward chuckle that sounded insanely fake. "Gee, if you were really named Aki-I mean, Jester Vanguard. That would've been really concerning." I said.

The couple looks at me for a second and then back at each other. "Did you choose a nickname of an actor? Get a better nickname!" The woman says while punching the white haired man in the head again. The man crosses his arms and pouts.

"It's hard to choose a unique nickname with my ugly name. Jestoinon Vancent Guord. I personally thought Jester Vanguard worked pretty well." I swallow all of my anxiety and sigh. Thank Gods his name wasn't actually anything like "his" name.

The woman clears her throat and looks at me innocently. "I'm sorry if my husband caused you any trouble" she said. She brings her lips closer to my ear and whispers "He probably gave you all of the "I'm a critique" act didn't he?"

"Hooooooney! You're embarrassing me" the man said on the ground. "You brought this on yourself. Lying left and right to strangers" she grabs him by his ear and starts marching out.

"Again, I'm sorry if he gave a man like you any trouble" was what she said before walking out of the front door.

Half of me is wondering what the poor guy had done to get a femdom wife like that. The other half is glad that he wasn't actually the Jester that I knew. Stewart clears his throat to get my attention and it works.

"You got the job, congratulations Hiraku" he says with a smile. His red eyes as sharp as they always were. The butler presses some sort of uniform to my chest and points to a gray door with a passcode lock next to it. "You can get changed into this in the boys locker room, shall I tell Irene about this employment?"

"No. Thank you" I semi-answer. "There's no need" a familiar voice says in front of us. It's Irene in a lacy black and white maid suit. The same one that the woman who greeted us was wearing.

My partner looked like model as she walked down a short staircase. Her long blue hair bounced behind her and the smile she wore was enough to make me blush.

She was beautiful...

"I never doubted my Hiraku-sama for a second" she said calmly. Irene smiles at me and closes her eyes. "T-thank you. You look amazing in that, Irene" I try to look her in the face but she looks too damned good. One good look could've kept me staring the whole day.

She opens her eyes when I finish my sentence. Her smile grows and she holds my hand in the air. "You really think so?!" Irene asks brightly. I couldn't take my eyes away from hers and my blush gets even worse. Was she teasing me?

"Irene-chaaaaan?" Other maids come to her. "We have some orders for you to serve" the brown haired girl from earlier today says. "Haaaaaaiiiiii~" Irene says while turning back.

"Sorry Hiraku-sama." She apologized while letting my hand go. "I have to work now. But one more thing, a surprise"

"What is it" I asked while trying to keep my cool. She was really too pretty for this.

"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you right? Close your eyes" I listened to her and shut my eyes. The darkness felt lonely and quiet for some reason until something warm presses up against my lips. Something really warm and soft. It felt amazing...

I open my eyes in quick panic. Irene's lips, were touching mine. Her face with closed eyes was so close to mine. My face goes hotter and redder than a fire but I force myself to stay with the warmth. This embrace was so nice even while I probably looked like a dork with my eyes open.
