Hey guys! So, this is my first Fairy Tail story. Any feedback is great! Updates will come whenever I can escape from the prison that is school! Finals are coming up soon, so it may be a bit before I get the chance.
Anyway, hope you like!
I do not own Fairy Tail. All of it belongs to the great Hiro Mashima.
Chapter 1
I love being one of the first people here in the mornings. It's so soothing, I thought.
Being a long time member and trusted by Master Makarov has its perks- I had a key to the guild hall. I could come and go as I pleased. I usually come in early to get ready for the day, mostly in the kitchen- deliveries arrived every day at 6:00 am sharp. I savor the peace and quiet while it lasts. The few people that are here as early as I am generally keep to themselves.
As I move the last of the deliveries to the kitchen, I sigh happily. I love working in the guild, being around my friends all the time. I begin to hum as I unload the packages.
When I get to the alcohol kegs, I sigh again, this time in frustration. I love Cana to death, but does she really need all these heavy kegs?
I pick one up, moving to the door. The keg blocks my view of anything in front of me, so I don't see the person enter the kitchen just as I leave.
I was almost through the door when I hit something solid. A quiet "Ow," comes from the other side of the keg, and I gasp.
"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry!" I say, struggling to move the barrel to the side. When I see who it is, I gasp again.
"Oh, Laxus, I'm so sorry!"
"It's alright, Mira. I'm okay." He steps back so I can pass him. "Do you need any help carrying those?"
"Sure! They're by the back door. If you could bring them out to the bar, that'd be great!" I smile at him as I move into the hallway.
As I put the first keg under the bar, Laxus appears with two more, one under each arm.
"Where do you want these?" he asks.
"You can put those two under the bar. All the others will get stacked along the wall over there." I point to the wall behind me.
"Mira, can we get some drinks over here?" a voice calls from somewhere in the guild hall.
"Just a minute!" she yells back. She looks back at Laxus, torn.
"Go. I got this." Laxus says, heading back to the kitchen.
"Are you sure?" I ask, holding a hand out as if to stop him.
"Yes, Mira." And he's gone.
I stare at where he's disappeared, confused. My name is called from behind me, so I tear my eyes away and go to work.
