"Why is that when men say 'I love you' they really mean 'I wanna do you' and just leave?" Cana asked her good friend Mira.

Mira replied. "That's the circle of life."

AU Miraxus plus other couples.


Mirajane Strauss, a young and beautiful girl in her early twenties. She was beautiful beyond compare. Her long white hair, fair skin and blue eyes made the most faithful of men turn just to eye her.

It was a shock to say that she was not taken, but Mira was not interested in love. She couldn't trust men, with the exception of her brother, Elfman, of course. She never had a true father figure in her life. Her parents died when she was barely a preteen. She had to grow up quick to take care of her siblings. During that time, she saw how the real world worked. Men were wicked and women were corrupt.

Of course, Mira wasn't shallow; she knew that there were some exceptions. But she viewed the world as two sided. Everyone had an evil side to them. Everyone had their demons, she knew she did.

Alas, she grew into a fine young woman, working for a wonderful man in Fairy Tail Corporation. A well known company that based their work on the publication and edits of children's to young adults books about fairy tales. Though the company sounded silly, it was a multibillion organization. The founder, Mavis Vermillion, believed that children were the future and that their dreams would drive them to strive for greatness. It was another Disney world, but without the movies and parks. It was a literature version of it.

Mira was the secretary of the CEO of the company, Makarov Dreyar. How did she obtain such a job? Unlike most businessmen, the kind hearted man saw the potential she had and gave her a chance. She proved to be beyond his expectations.

"Mira, do I have a meeting with Jose?" Makarov asked.

"Yes, he wishes to speak to you about transferring some of his best employees to Fairy Tail."

The older male stroked his goatee. "And who are they?"

"Gajeel Redfox and Juvia Lockser. Gajeel specializes in villain plots and back story and Juvia specializes in water nymphs and mermaids. The darker version, not The Little Mermaid Kind."

"Hmm, I'll see some of their work."

A loud sound, bounced off the walls of the office. A tall blond male in his twenties came over to Makarov. He was followed by a green haired male, a brow haired female with glasses and another tall male with black blue hair and a matching color tattoo on his face.

"Gramps, I have the documents you wanted." The blond said.

The blond was none of than the Vice President of Marketing for the company, Laxus Dreyar, and the grandson of the president.

"Thank you, Laxus." He took the forms from his hand. He turned to Mira. "That would be all."

Mira nodded. She turned to leave to her desk outside of the office. She quickly checked her phone for any messages. There was one.

Why are you wearing that dress? It said. Another message came through. You know I love that dress.

Mira blushed. Her face turned red as Makarov's personal assistant, Erza's hair.

"Mira, are you oaky?" Evergreen, the brunette with glasses, asked.

Mira looked at the group quickly.

"I'm a bit sick. Flushed face," she said.

"You should see a doctor." Laxus said to her. He leaned over her desk and whispered in her ear, "We could play doctor."

Mira tried very hard not to blush. Although she did not truly believe in love, she was the lover of Laxus Dreyar. Ironic, is it not?

She cleared her throat. "Mr. Dreyar, it is not appropriate to be flirting with me."

Laxus looked at her and smirked. That cocky smirked that she found so enticing.

"Right, I apologize. Ms. Strauss," he said her surname mockingly.

She smiled and looked away, trying to finish her work.


Creaking noises were getting louder in the top floor of a local hotel. Many of the residents wondered what was happening. Only a few could guess the right answer.

"Ah!" Mira moaned as Laxus was finishing his task.

He moved his hips slowly, yet painfully. For Mira it was causing her to plead with him. She hated when he took his time to send her over the edge. He would do it as a sign that he was angry with her or that he wanted her to be late for work.

"L-Laxus," she cried.

"Shush, I'm not done." He groaned out picking up the movement of his hips.

Now he wants to finish. Mira thought.

In a few moments, the two reached their highest point of lust. Laxus' breathing was hard. His sweat glistened in the sunlight that shined through the room. He removed his body from Mira's only to collapse next to her.

Though rest was needed, Mira turned her body to check the time. Their lunch hour was almost up. Mira got up from the battered and sweat filled Queen sized bed to go shower. When she returned she saw Laxus the way she left him.

"We have to go back." She said putting on new underwear.

Laxus, laying straight, his face looking at the ceiling, turned to Mira. "Do you hate having sex with me that much?"

Mira gave him a look.

"You never want to stay in bed." He explained.

"You sound like a female."

Laxus chuckled. "I hate cuddling as much as the next guy, but I wouldn't mind doing that once a while. We have been sex buddies for a year."

Mira fixed her hair to the bun she had earlier. "Exactly, sex buddies and nothing more. Now shower or get dressed. I think I should leave first." Mira checked herself in the mirror.

"Why are you like this?" He said finally getting up from the bed.

"Like what?" She wasn't looking at his naked form.

"Not wanting a relationship," he asked. He placed his black slacks and began to button his purple shirt.

She turned and faced him, "I don't believe in such things," she said finally leaving.


Mira yawned loudly while typing away at her desk.

"You okay?" Erza asked. She was her good friend.

Mira smiled sweetly. "I hardly had any sleep." she lied. Laxus always worked her body out.

"You should focus in your health. Being active and healthy is a part of the well being of Fairy Tail." Erza ranted.

Mira was thankful when the phone rang.

"Hello, Fairy Tail Inc. where all our dreams come true, how could I help you?"

The voice on the other side spoke briefly. Mira placed the call on hold and pressed a button to link her to her boss' account.

"Sir, Ms. Lucy Heartfilia is on the other line, shall I put her through?"

"Yes and thank you."

Mira hung up after the call went through.

"Who was that?" Erza asked.

"I think she's the new author that Natsu recruited."

"He finally got an author."

The said man came through, making a ruckus with a dark haired male.

"Yo, Mira did Luigi call?"

Mira was lost. "Luigi?"

"Yeah, Luigi Heart-something."

Mira wanted to do a face palm. "L-u-c-y Heartfilia." she answered.

"Such an idiot, Natsu. Didn't you tell me, she was hot? And now you couldn't even say her name right."

"Shut it, Gray." Natsu threatened. The two editors got in each other's face ready to go at it when Erza threw gray on the floor and held Natsu by his ear. She was like their older sister.

"You two are so unprofessional."

Mira just laughed. "Yes, she did call. Mr. Dreyar just sent me an email that she will be coming tomorrow."

The smile on Natsu's face made Mira rethink her opinion on men. She couldn't help, but smile back.

After the small situation was done with, Mira was packing up to leave.

"Mira," a voice said.

It was Gildarts, the Chief Operating Officer. His orange hair did not make him intimidating, but his tall and wide build did. It didn't help that he had a serious look on his face.

"Yes?"

He pointed to his office. "I need to speak to you for a bit."

Mira nodded. She entered his huge beige and brown office. Mira had been in there once and that was to introduce herself. She sat on one of his black leather chairs. Her legs were squeezed together. Her body straight yet she was nervous.

Gildarts sat on his expensive chair. He really liked leather. He leaned back eyeing the young girl.

"Anything I can help you with, sir?" Mira nervously asked.

Gildarts turned the screen of his computer and showed Mira what she feared the most: A picture of her and Laxus…kissing. Gildarts was also head of security. Ugh did he have to grope her ass that way. Damn, was she fat? And she noticed how clingy she was when she held his arm as he had his arm around her waist. From an outsider's point of view, they looked like a sappy couple in love.

Mira turned back to Gildarts.

"How long have you…?"

"a year," she answered quickly.

"Wow, long time. You guys have been careful. Then again I would do the same if you were my girlfriend."

Mira stood up and waved her arms in front of her. "We aren't a couple…we-we," she tried saying. Her face was turning red.

"I get it. Damn Laxus." he whispered that last part. What did that mean? "Mira, whatever you and Laxus have needs to stop. No relationships in the office. You know this."

"But ours is different." why was she defending this?

"It doesn't matter. I know the struggle. I married a co-worker and she ended up leaving me. I don't want anyone to get hurt. I see you guys as children I never had, so please." he pleaded.

Mira nodded. She had to break up with Laxus. Oh boy, how is that going to go?
