Ok, trying a three-shot, this has been bouncing around in my head forever, and it would be fun to write, so I'm writing it, please enjoy!
Evergreen yawned when she awoke in the morning, stretching her arms above her head before reaching and taking her glasses off of the shelf they sat on besides her bed. She slid them on and stood, going into the bathroom. She dragged a comb through her hair, scrubbed her teeth quickly with her toothbrush, and began putting on her usual outfit. Normally she'd spend up to two hours in the morning preparing, but today she was quick, slipping on her flats, grabbing her fan, and heading out the door.
As she walked she mulled over the events of the last evening in her head.
Ok, Elfman and I had another secret date, god that Devil Mira would kill us if she found out we've been steady for almost a year now.
Evergreen found her feet carrying her into the park she'd been in last night with Elfman.
So he brought roses, that was what tipped me off that something was going on...
The Fairy mage walked up to the center of a bridge over a large stream and leaned on the railing.
It happened right here, we were walking, I was telling him about the job I'd just gotten back from and cradling the roses, and he'd, grabbed my wrist, and he'd turned me around, and he'd gotten down on one knee and...
Evergreen felt her face flush as she stared at the diamond ring that now adorned her left ring finger.
What kind of idiot am I? Going and saying the last thing I should have said. Yes.
I threw my arms around him and he picked me up and swung me around once, on this very bridge he slid this ring onto my finger and it's been their ever since. Was that just last night? I can't even think straight, I'm so...giddy. I've found someone I love. I really do love that oversized oaf. He's so big and strong, but he's such a softy deep down.
Evergreen turned towards the guild and set off, knowing it'd be a good fifteen minute walk. She unconsciously pulled her green gloves from her pocket and began to put them on. But then she grinned boldly, something very unlike her, and shoved them back into her pocket again.
Well, we'll have to tell them sooner or later. I'll just try to hide my hand. Who do I tell first, though? I'll talk to Elfman about it when I get to the guild, I suppose.
She had arrived all to soon, and as she entered she spread her fan and held it in her left hand in such a way that it hid her ring.
She slipped carefully around Gray and Natsu brawling, passed by Levy and Lucy chattering about books, helped out a friend by swinging her fan once, causing Freed's coat to sway up and hide Juvia from Gray when he glanced over. Finally she arrived at the bar, she gave Elfman one curt tap on the shoulder with her fan, he glanced over his shoulder, and saw his girlfriend...no, his fiancee, point up and then stride off.
He realized she wanted him to meet her upstairs, so her kindly cut off his conversation with Mira and turned, marching up the stairs and finding Evergreen in a small sitting room reserved for more private talks, this was private, after all, so he entered, closing the door behind him.
Little did he know, Mira was suspicious of him just leaving like that, so she tip toed up the stairs, and, knowing all the while she shouldn't, put her ear to the keyhole of the door, behind which Elfman and Evergreen were having a hushed yet heated conversation.
"I don't know how I'll do it." Evergreen murmured to Elfman.
Mira heard a soft patting noise, and assumed Elfman was patting Evergreen on the back.
"It's okay, babe, I'm not sure how to tell anyone either."
Babe!? Mira rubbed her hands together and smiled evilly, oh, this was good.
Evergreen sighed.
"Maybe we can do something tiny?" She asked.
"No way! We're to manly for that!" Elfman exclaimed.
Mira wasn't surprised to hear the sound of Evergreen slapping Elfman, but she did it softer than usual.
"You can be manly all you want, but I am a fairy! I'm not manly!" She exclaimed.
"And anyway." Evergreen began again.
That was when someone shouted.
"Another round! Mirajane!"
Mira moaned, she was missing something good, but in a way, she was happy she was being pulled away before she heard something she wasn't supposed to, she turned and hurried down the stairs.
"Why don't we just elope?"
"No way!" Elfman repeated.
"Ever, you deserve the biggest bash this place can throw."
"Do you want me to become a widow directly after I've just gotten married?" Evergreen asked sarcastically.
Elfman smiled softly at her.
"Let's start small, you tell your team and I'll tell my sisters?" Elfman suggested.
Evergreen put her arms around his neck.
"You know, you've become a lot more mature in the past year." She said.
Elfman said nothing, simply kissed her.
Evergreen didn't resist, after all, he was her husband-to-be, she may as well get used to it.
Done! Second chapter coming soon! Please review and tell me how I'm doing! Thanks for reading!
