Mira and Laxus
I take off my coat. How can I forget to fix the barrels down stairs?! I went down to the guild's basement. I check the dates on the barrel. "Oh this is Cana's beer." I move on to the next I grab one and pulled it. I heard footsteps from behind me, who else can be in the guild in this kind of time? An intruder! "Satan soul!" I unleash a dark ball. He dodged it and his face was accentuared by the moon light. "Laxus?" I went back to my normal self. "I'm terribly sorry, did I hurt you?" I ask as I went near him to check his face. "No I'm fine, you didn't hit me." He said.
"What are you doing in the guild this kind of time?" I ask. "I just went back from an investigation Gramps ask me to do." He answered. "Sorry again Laxus." I said and bit my lip. "What are you still doing here?" He ask.
"Just getting some more beer barrels for tomorrow." I answered. "Uh, do you need help carrying those?" He ask. "No, I can do it." I lied. It is heavy and I do need help but Laxus just came back from a mission, he must be tired. He gave me a short nod while I got back from pulling a barrel of beer. Just a little more. "Oops!" The barrel fell and rolled away. I ran after it. "Come back here!"
I chased the barrel just then a foot stop the barrel from rolling away. Laxus' foot is on top of the barrel, his arms crossed, and his face is unreadable. He sighed then carried the barrel. Laxus is very quiet,he didn't say any word. He finished carrying the barrels and stare at me. "Thank you Laxus." I said and smile. "Don't mention it." I put on my coat, I was about to walk outside when it started raining. "It's-"
"Raining." Laxus finish for me. "Get inside Mira, the rain is too strong." I went back inside and close the guild doors. Laxus shut the windows to keep out the cold while I made some coffee. He sat near the window and look out, he's a picture perfect in this view. I saw pictures of him when he was just a kid, I saw how close he is with master. So when he attack us on the day of the Fantasia Parade, master's heart shattered. Master loves Laxus more than Ivan and seeing Laxus turn like he's father made him ask what he did wrong at the past. I know all of this because master told me, and I was with him when he was madly confused of himself. But Laxus changed for the better, he helped us at Tenroujima island. He was there even though it was no longer his fight. Thankfully master- I mean Gildarts gave him a chance, he regain his place in Fairy tail. Laxus broke gaze with the rain and saw Mira starring. "What is it Mira?"
"I made coffee." She answered quickly. "Thanks." I sat on the counter and drink silently. "I don't think the rain is going to stop tonight." She said. Unfortunately I think so too. I look at her and found myself starring at her beautiful eyes. No, I can't be too attached to her, she's to good for me. "Laxus?"
"Aren't you going to drink coffee? It will keep you warm inside." I ask. She shook her head. "I don't drink coffee." I finished my mug and stand. "There are beds in the infirmary, you can sleep there for the night." I said. "How about you?" She ask. Me? I? Um, I don't know. "You don't plan on staying up all night right?" She ask. "No I just-" I wasn't able to finish what I was about to say because she pulled my arm and ran to the infirmary. She sat on a bed, take off her shoes, and lay down. While I'm still at the door starring at her like an idiot. We are just sleeping in the same room not on the same bed! What the hell is wrong with me?!

Next morning...
Levy and Gajeel
"Good morning Lily!" I greet Lily, Gajeel's exceed. "Good morning to you too Levy." He greeted with a smile. It's so easy to talk to Lily than to Gajeel. "Guess what is in the plastic." I said playfully. Lily's eyes became the shape of a star. "KIWI??"
I nod and gave him the plastic with five kiwis I bought earlier, He gladly accept it. "Tch, you're spoiling him." Gajeel comment. Lily hop on my arms while he eat his kiwis. Lily is so cute. "Gajeel can I borrow Lily for a while?"
