Lava Shards: A Fairy Tail Fanfiction

Small Talk

We both yawned again and it felt like the both of us inched closer together. I did just tell her I didn't mind it when we did get all close, and I didn't mind. It actually felt nice to have a person around me.

"Did I bore you to sleep with that?" I asked with a little chuckle. Irene punched my chest lightly. "Hmph, don't joke about that" she was suddenly serious. I was joking about how long it took, but she took it differently.

"Sorry, sorry" I apologized. She shifted a little further away but still held on to my hand. "We could talk about... Things..." Irene said a little nervously.

"What kind of things?" I asked

"Um... Random things..."

"Okay..."

She just made the topic a lot more broad and harder to understand. I didn't know if I should feel bad for her because it didn't sound like she knew what she was talking about either. "How about we ask each other questions and then answer them?" I suggested

She wasted no time at all, not even to answer, and followed with a question. "What would your dream wife be like Hiraku-kun?!" Irene blurted.

The question caught me off guard. It was something I've never thought of. I mean, i can't see anybody who'd like me. And the only thing I pay a lot of attention to in girls is their parts (part of the reason why I'm single). I guess I'd just given up on ever finding a life partner.

"Dunno..." I answered. Irene sighed quietly, disappointed, and it made me feel terrible. I just left her hanging even though I suggested that we would answer each other's questions. Plus, didnt girls like these kind of things?

"Fine... Promise that you don't tell anybody?" I asked as if I actually knew what I was about to say. "Yes!" She answered happily.

"Well..." I had to string together some things about myself and things I needed to answer. That's what having a wife is right? "Hm, I want a wife that accepts me" I said. Yeah... That sounded right.

"That is important. You don't want a wife who won't accept you" the tone of Irene's voice was unsatisfied.

"And, um. Has big tits?" The room got really quiet when I said this, quieter than it already was. I covered my face with my left hand. Good job Hiraku, now she knows you're a pervert.

The young woman held my hand with both of hers and I felt her eyes locked into mine. Gently. "You haven't thought about the woman you're going to love?" She asked. My face got really hot at the mention of that word. Love...

"N-n-no! I haven't!" I stuttered. Irene chuckled and put one of those hands on my cheek. I almost squealed in embarrassment and shook her hand off of my cheek. Jeez! What was she thinking?! Touching my cheek like that after she mentions love!

"Your face is really hot..." She commented. "But you should really think about love. It's the most important thing to me, so I think it'd be important to you too"

"No!"

"Think about it...?"

"No!!"

"Please...?" The gentle in her voice was too much for me and calmed me down. My heart still rapidly pumped. "Fine..." I finally answered and closed my eyes to think.

"Think about the things that Hiraku-kun wants" she included. "Hiraku-kun and only Hiraku-kun".

I kept my eyes closed and thought for around a minute. I thought about a woman that could give me everything that I could ever ask for right now. I thought about a woman that could do anything, for me. After all, it was just a dream girl.
