After a really long day of being Manly, Elfman was now sitting in his very manly chair while easting the manliest food ever, pizza is manly he thought whilst taking a bite of his dinner. He began to think about his day and all the events that occurred.
Before Tenrou Island his manly routine was the same;
Get up and eat a manly breakfast
Get dressed and go to the guild, to get work or to drink
Get a manly lunch made my his sister
Spend more time at the guild
Go home and eat his very manly dinner
(In other words be MANLY)
This routine had been completely messed up due to a certain fairy, after Tenrou Island she just messed up his manly routine, a new thing seemed to happen when she was there. Today for example she sat in the guild with the rest of the Thunder God Tribe, drinking and laughing along with them. Lisanna sat next to him talking, it was nice and peaceful. MANLY.
Just then Lyon and Sherry walked in, apparently Lyon had missed his darling Juvia, and Sherry just came along with him. She was beautiful, Elfman observed, unlike Ever she had pink hair that was slightly wavy, she wore pink, black and white unlike Evergreen who wore green. Wait why was he comparing them both it was UNMANLY.
"She's very manly!" Elfman commented, his little sister had got used to his over use of the word so it didn't faze her, however, he suddenly felt the familiar slap of Evergreen's fan against his Manly head. "ELFMAN. STOP. CALLING. PEOPLE. MANLY. SHE. IS. A. WOMAN. NOT. A. MAN. BAKA. BAKA. BAKA" Ever yelled slapping him with each word she said, he tried his best not to complain because it was unmanly but he couldn't help it, she hit hard. Lisanna chuckled next to me along with most of the guild, this was not manly.
Every day she seemed to show up and do something that makes him smile, even thinking back today he smiled, although she hit like a man, he knew it was her being jealous that he was admiring Sherry. Even Lisanna had told him that after the incident.
Once thing in his mind sticks out more than anything, it was one of those rare occasions where Evergreen wasn't hitting him or yelling at him, they just sat peacefully by the river in magnolia, when she suddenly asked him.
"Why do you say man so much?" Elfman looked at her bit surprised at her question but still answered it, "When Lisanna died I cried all the time and Natsu told me I need to be a man for her, so every time I got sad, lonely or felt like crying I tell myself to be a man for her. It helped me to get over her death" Elfman felt venerable, this was not manly, not at all.
Her next question shocked him even more, "She's back so why do you still say man so much?"
This time he didn't answer, it's not like he didn't have an answer, a simple perfect answer but he wasn't manly enough to admit it.
So, now here he sat in his chair eating his manly pizza and thought about the reason why. It was because he had to be manly, not for Lisanna or Mira or himself, but for her; for Evergreen. He doesn't deserve her if he's not manly, once he becomes manly he will deserve her. Until that day he will try his best to be manly for the woman who liked him, for the woman he loves.
