Hello reader, this drabble was done for Fairy Tail Crack + Minor Ship Week. ( , if you're curious!)

It's based off of events in the Starry Sky arc! Enjoy!


There it was, just like clockwork. A flower sitting on the front step, this particular time it happened to be lavender.

It was the fourth time that month that a wild flower of some kind had mysteriously shown up at the Strauss' front door. They had been plagued by a string of phantom knocks - however only when Mirajane answered the door did the flowers appear.

The silver-haired woman paused before bending down to pick up the purple flower. Straightening back up, she closed the door behind her as she twirled the stem between her fingers. "You know," Mira spoke to the air, kindly smile not leaving her face, "There are more direct ways to ask someone out on a date."

"I'm not trying to ask you out," replied a voice from beside her. Suddenly next to Mirajane stood a lanky and hunched over figure, which straightened as Racer stood and removed his goggles. "I'm trying to... say thanks."

"Thanks?" the Demon turned to face the Demon General, only to find the blond man gone. She instinctively turned to the opposite side, finding Racer there instead. "What for?"

"You aren't really gonna make me say it, are you?"

"Mm, maybe," Mira daintily laughed. "Something along the lines of 'thank you for making me realize that running from the past is no way to live'?"

"Yeesh," Racer was suddenly behind her again. He pulled his goggles back over his eyes. "Always so literal."

"I could always kick your butt and knock some more sense into again. You don't have to bring any more flowers, it's a free service."

He cracked a faint smile. "Are you asking me out, Fairy girl?"
