Sorcha and Eoin Robasan were orphaned at a young age and were left with nothing. Their parents were good friends with Makarov, the Master of the Fairy Tail guild, so when news of their death reached him he immediately sent for them and took them in. Over the years, Sorcha and Eoin began to fit in with the guild members, being raised by many of them, and Sorcha began to show signs of magik like her parents. She was nature caster, often using her magik to grow herbs to help heal the injuries of the guild members when they returned from their missions. Eoin however, showed no signs of magik. He felt alienated when nothing he did would allow him to cast magik and when he was old enough, he decided to leave Fairy Tail and go back out into the world. Sorcha had begged him to stay with her, with the guild, but Eoin's mind was made up. Leaving behind his little sister in hopes of getting a job somewhere that would pay him enough to provide for her, Eoin left Fairy Tail and everything that he had come to love.
As the years went by after Eoin left, Sorcha became a little bit reclusive. She would mingle with the guild members, go on missions, but she felt so lonely without her older brother. She knew though, that with Eoin being six years older than her he would have left eventually. One day, Sorcha stood in the fields that she and Eoin used to love to play in and looked at the sky, vowing to become stronger, to make a name for herself, to become someone that Eoin could be proud of.
Sorcha stood in front of her mirror, sighing. She had changed her hair and outfit for the umpteenth time. A knock came at her door.
"It's open!"
The door opened and Lucy walked in. "Hey, Sorcha, you ready yet?"
Sorcha looked behind her and shook her head. "No, I can't decide what to wear!"
Lucy laughed. "Want some help?"
Sorcha nodded. "Please?"
Lucy went to her closet and spotted a white dress with a purple floral filigree pattern with green vines and leaves. "What about this one?"
Sorcha smiled. "I forgot I had that one!"
Lucy handed it to her. "Put it on then we'll do something about your hair, OK?"
Sorcha nodded and slid behind her partition screen.
"Are you excited, Sorcha? This party is going to be really big. Mira went through a lot to make it extra special."
Sorcha slid into the dress and stepped out from behind the screen. "I'm kinda nervous, actually. It'll be weird celebrating my promotion with Eoin."
Lucy offered her a comforting smile and hugged her. "I'm sure he'd be very proud of you, Sorcha. Now, let's fix your hair." She pulled out one of her keys. "Gate of the Giant Crab! Cancer!"
Sorcha watched as the plume of celestial clouds cleared to reveal Cancer, one of Lucy's Celestial Spirits. "Hi, Cancer!"
"Sorcha! How's it hanging, baby?" Cancer asked, smiling at her.
"Sorcha needs a little help with her hair. Think you're up for a challenge?" Lucy asked.
Cancer chuckled. "Oh yeah, baby! I know just the style!"
Sorcha took a seat in front of her dresser and let Cancer do his work. She closed her eyes and waited until Cancer stepped back.
"Alright, baby! Open your eyes!"
Sorcha opened her eyes and grinned from ear to ear. "Cancer, I love it!"
Cancer grinned and bowed. "I'm glad! Now, go have fun at your party, baby. I'll catch you on the flip side!"
Lucy and Sorcha watched as Cancer disappeared, then Lucy turned to Sorcha.
"You ready?"
"Let's go."
"Congratulations, Sorcha!"
Sorcha smiled. "Wow, Mira, you really went all out!"
Mira Jane waltzed over and hugged her. "Of course I did! You passed the S-Class Wizard Trials!"
Sorcha beamed at her. "Thanks, Mira. This means so much!"
Mira Jane smiled. "We have a surprise for you, too."
"Oh?"
Mira Jane's smile grew and Sorcha's eyes widened when she heard a familiar voice behind her, one that she hadn't heard in years.
"Hello, Sorcha."
Sorcha turned and threw her arms around the neck of the one who spoke. "Eoin!"
Eoin grinned and hugged his little sister tight, lifting her and spinning around as he held her. "It's wonderful to see you, little sister."
Sorcha beamed down at him. "It's great to see you too, brother!" She hugged him again. "What are you doing here? When did you get all these tattoos?"
Eoin set her down and pulled back his collar, smiling.
"That's the Fairy Tail emblem..." Sorcha said, almost in disbelief. "You're a member of the guild?"
Eoin nodded. "I found my magik, sis. I came back to join Fairy Tail." His grin grew. "Imagine my surprise to learn that my baby sister just became an S-Class wizard herself!"
Sorcha beamed up at him. "I did it for you, Eoin. I wanted to make you proud."
Eoin kissed her forehead and held her close. "And I am. Congratulations, Pixie."
Sorcha nestled into her brother's chest, having missed him more than she thought. "It's good to have you back, Eoin."
"It's good to be back. Now, let's party!"
"So, Eoin, I hear you finally found your magik!"
Eoin looked at Natsu and Happy as they came over. "I did."
"Ya? That's awesome! What kind of magik do you use?"
Eoin smirked. "It's like rune magik, but with tattoos."
"Whoah, really?" Natsu looked at him in wonder. "I gotta see that!"
"Maybe some other time, Natsu." Eoin chuckled.
"Afraid of a little challenge?"
Sorcha looked up to find Laxus standing on the balcony above them.
Eoin looked at Laxus and scoffed. "Not at all, but I'm here for Sorcha. I'm not here to show off my magik."
Laxus scoffed. "How long did you try to cast a spell? How many times did you fail?"
Sorcha stepped in front of her brother and glared up at him. "Laxus, there's no need to be such a bully. Eoin tried to find his magik and now he has. Leave him be."
Laxus laughed at that. "Still need your baby sister to protect you, Eoin? What kind of man needs a woman to protect him?"
"Shut it, Laxus." Sorcha warned.
"Or what?" Laxus asked, leering down at her.
"Or I'll make you."
"Oo, now I'm scared." Laxus laughed. "What is the Pixie going to do? Hit me with a bouquet?"
Eoin stood and put a hand on Sorcha's shoulder. "Sorcha, it's alright."
Sorcha looked at him. "Eoin..."
He smiled, then looked up at Laxus. "I'd be more than happy to take on a challenge, but at a later date. This is for Sorcha, to celebrate her promotion to S-Class. Don't spoil it for her."
Laxus rolled his eyes and turned away.
Down below, Sorcha sighed and turned to her brother. "I'm sorry, Eoin... he hasn't changed."
Eoin smiled and hugged her. "Don't worry about it. Let's just continue with the party, OK?"
Sorcha smiled and nodded, but she looked back up to where Laxus had been standing and sighed. 'I wish he wouldn't be so harsh with everyone...'
"Thank you so much, Mira!" Sorcha said, hugging her. "The party was wonderful."
"You deserve it, Pixie." Mira Jane said, beaming at her. "And don't worry about Laxus. You know how he is."
Sorcha sighed and nodded. "Ya, I know..."
Mira Jane patted her cheek. "You should get home and get some rest. It's been a long day."
Sorcha smiled and nodded. "Thanks again, Mira." She turned to Eoin. "I have an extra room, if you need somewhere to stay."
Eoin smiled and shook his head. "I got an apartment a few days ago when I came back to Magnolia."
Sorcha smiled and hugged her brother. "Be safe going home, OK?"
Eoin nodded. "It's good to see you again, Sis."
"It's good to see you, too. See you tomorrow?"
"Yeah."
Sorcha waved to her brother and left the guild hall, heading towards her apartment. She looked up at the clear night sky, smiling as the stars twinkled brightly. "It's so beautiful out here..." Feeling energetic still, she headed towards the fields where she and Eoin used to play. Wanting to get some training in to blow off some steam, Sorcha took a stance and closed her eyes.
Listening to the nature around her- the voices of the trees, the grass, the flowers, the wildlife, the wind- Sorcha took a deep breath as a soft breeze began blowing through the fields. She thought of her favourite flower, white lilies, and breathed out slowly while moving her hands gracefully. She opened her eyes and focused on growing the lilies forming in the fields' grass. She smiled as more and more lilies sprouted and took bloom, white and brilliant as the moon. The lilies spread out around her like a white halo in a sea of green. To add a final touch, she focused on a large willow tree. She moved her hands as the tree sprouted and she smiled as the sprout grew taller and taller until it towered above her.
"There we are."
"That was impressive."
Sorcha turned to see Laxus standing just outside of the ring of lilies. "What do you want, Laxus?"
Laxus chuckled. He looked around at the lilies and up at the willow tree. "I must say, Pixie, you're really something."
Sorcha rolled her eyes and stepped carefully through the lilies. "Flattery doesn't help you when you're always such an ass." She walked passed him and headed back towards the road.
Laxus followed after her, wanting to make sure she got home safely. He knew he was very standoffish, he knew he was an ass sometimes, but something about Sorcha made him think differently. He wasn't sure what it was about her, but something drew him to her.
"Why are you following me?" Sorcha asked, looking back at him.
"Can't let a pretty girl like you walk home alone this time of night." He said, looking down at her as he reached her side.
Sorcha was a little taken back by his comment, but she just sighed and continued on her way home. She was confused why Laxus was seemingly worried about her and following her home, even more so that he was walking beside her.
Laxus walked at Sorcha's side, sensing that she was uncomfortable. He looked down at her, the curls in her striking forest green hair bouncing with each step, her dress flowing around her as she moved, her slightly tanned skin glowing in the street lights. When she glanced up at him, he felt himself blushing and averted his gaze.
'Is he blushing?' Sorcha wondered. She chanced another look and caught his gaze, which he averted again. 'He is blushing.' She giggled to herself.
Laxus heard her giggle and looked at her. "What?"
Sorcha looked up at him. "Nothing." She smiled and looked ahead, seeing her street coming up. "You don't have to walk me all the way home."
Laxus looked down at her. "Can't let anything happen to the newest S-Class wizard of Fairy Tail. Gramps would kill me."
Sorcha giggled at that and looked up at him with a smile. "That may be true, but you should remember that I am an S-Class wizard for a reason."
Laxus managed a small smile at that. "That you are."
Sorcha stopped at her front door and looked up at him. "Thanks for walking me home." She clasped her hands behind her. "It was thoughtful of you."
Laxus just shrugged. "Sure, whatever."
Sorcha cocked her head at him. "I don't understand you, Laxus. You act all tough and distant, yet there seems to be a softer side to you too."
Laxus looked at her. "What?"
Sorcha stood on her toes and kissed his cheek. Setting herself back down, she offered a sheepish smile. "Maybe you should try letting people in for once. You might find that you'd be happier instead of looking so sad and lonely." She opened her door and looked at him one last time, seeing his cheeks bright red. "Good night, Laxus. And don't worry, I won't tell anyone how cute you are when you blush." She gave him a wink and closed the door, leaving him standing there.
Laxus stared at Sorcha's door for a moment, processing what was just said and done. He found himself smirking, and turned away, his cheeks burning and the warmth of Sorcha's kiss still lingering. As he walked back towards the Fairy Tail guild hall, he found his smirk growing into a smile. 'You really are something, Sorcha Robasan.'
