Chapter 1- Decision

The usual shouting can be heard over the Guild followed by brawling which is of course accompanied by flying desk, chairs, and bottles of wine magic's like iron, fire and ice when a certain blond haired lightning dragon slayer entered the said guild heading straight at the counter dodging the flying objects in the process.

"Welcome back Laxus, how's your mission?" A smiling white haired barmaid greeted him with a sweet smile plastered on her face.

"Nah it's boring as usual." Laxus grunted in response.

Mirajane started to prepare his usual drink and he can't help but to observe her. The way her hips swing with every move she takes, the way she pick up things with elegance and the way she smile. That smile that could light up the whole world, that smile that could ease whatever worries you have and that smile that coul-

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by one of his bodyguards. "Ne, checkin on Little Miss Mira again, are we?"

"Checkin" "Mira, Mira!" Bicklows so-called 'babies' added.

"No" the blond quickly responded while averting his gaze.

"Here's your drink" the barmaid then handed Laxus' his drink. "What's yours Bickslow?"

"Oh. Nothin me an' my boss just havin' a small chit-chat here"

"Alright then" Mira said before walking towards the other Mages' table to assist them. Once she is far enough Bicklow then diverted his attention to Laxus.

"So when will ya make yer move?" He said in an interrogating tone.

"I don't know what you're talking about" Laxus quickly responded.

"Come on! I know ya have the hots for her!" Bickslow insisted.

"Will you shut up?" Laxus retorted starting to get irritated. Seriously, why does Bickslow has to be an irritating-perverted-idiot?

"Is that so? Well lemme just give ya a little advice... Mira is one hell of a hot women an' yer not the only one who has a thing fer her. So if I were ya, I'll make mah move before it's too late" Bickslow then patted his shoulder before walking back to the table where Freed, Evergreen, Elfman and Lisanna are sitting leaving a bewildered Laxus.


It's already midnight but Laxus is still wide awake sitting on his couch. Sleeping is out of his mind because his attention is focused on something else.

"Is that so? Well lemme just give ya a little advice... Mira is one hell of a hot women an' yer not the only one who has a thing fer her. So if I were ya, I'll make mah move before it's too late"

So if I were ya...

...I'll make mah move before...

It's too late.

"Aarrgh! That bastard he said all those things with purpose!" He then stand-up and walk to his kitchen to get himself water but as he was pouring his drink something interrupted his thoughts.


Laxus was sitting on a corner where he can freely observe the barmaid secretly, it has always been his spot because no one will notice him there when he's looking at her. Suddenly Mira walks towards his table, he remain frozen for a moment mentally preparing himself for dialogue but as Mira is a few steps away from him he then noticed that she is not heading towards him but towards the next table where a brunette whose face is hiding in shadows waiting for her with a smile.

"Are you done?" The said brunette asked his tone full of admiration. Mira then attached her arms with the man which caused Laxus to widen his eyes in shock.

"Yes. Let's go then!" As Mira was about to take a step, the guy suddenly pull her and kiss her on the lips.

Crash!

The glass where Laxus is pouring his drink shattered, the blond clenched his fist ignoring the blood oozing from it.

"No. I-will-never-let-that-happen." He said through gritted teeth.


Morning came and Laxus is sitting on his usual table with a drink.

"Ara, ara don't you think it's too early to drink?" Mira said while wiping the counter.

"No. I-I just need this."

Upon hearing his answer Mira then walked to his table and put her hands on his shoulder, Laxus tensed up with the action she then notice the bandage wrapped on the dragon slayer's hand. "Is there something wrong?" She asked in a concerned tone, but after minutes of silence she then added "Okay then, you don't have to tell me anything, just don't drink too much okay?" Laxus just nodded having lost his ability to speak.

After some hour the Thunder God Tribe finally arrived. "Good Morning Laxus-sama" Freed greeted him with a smile that gives goose bumps to Laxus. Freed can be a creep sometimes.

"Yo!" Bickslow greeted he then turned to Evergreen who is busy debating with Elfman about non-sense matters "You two will ya please keep it low? Yer ringin mah ears!"

"Keep it low" "Ringin" "Ears" his babies echoed. Laxus immediately pulled Bickslow towards his table ignoring the confuse looks of Freed, Evergreen and Elfman, the two stopping their argument to look at him.

"Listen! Tell me!" He demanded.

"Tell ya what?" Bickslow asked.

"You know what I'm talking about!" Laxus bellowed.

"What?" Bickslow answered clearly confuse. But after some moments of thinking he then said "Oh that!"

"Yes that."

"So ya mean yer telling meh that I'm right?"

Laxus raised an eyebrow "Right on what?"

"Im right on meh suspision that ya like her" Bickslow said sounding too cocky.

"I never said that! Just tell me what to do! I know you have your plans!" Laxus said.

"Ofcourse I have plans. But ya have to spill the truth first." Bickslow teased obviously enjoying the torture he was inflicting on the dragonslayer.

Said dragonslayer takes a deep breath before saying "Alright then! I-I like her, b-but I know I will be rejected if I confess so.. What's your plans?"

"Nothin.."

"Nothing?"

"Yeah. Nothin just tell her how ya feel" Bickslow answered as if it was too obvious. "Tell her, tell her" another echo.

Laxus was about to retort when suddenly Lisanna poped-in "No that won't do!"

"Y-you! You heard us?" Laxus said almost panicking, if Mira's little sister knows about this then...

"Don't worry I won't tell her" Lisanna said as if reading his mind. Laxus breathed, clearly relieved.

"So what won't do?" Bickslow asked the youngest take-over mage.

"Your plan."

"What do you mean?" Laxus intrigued.

"Because telling Mira-nee what you feel is not enough. You have to exert effort." Lisanna explained.

"Effort huh ya mean courting?" Bickslow asked. Lisanna just nodded with a smile.

Frowning Laxus voiced out his thoughts "Courting? But.. I don't know how."

Lisanna then pulled something on her back revealing a small book handing it to Laxus.

"I know. That's why you need this" the youngest Strauss replied with a reassuring smile.


It was night again. A blond muscular guy, with a blond hair and a lightning scar on his right eye is laying on his king size bed holding a small book in his hand.

Courting for dummies.

What? But I'm not a Dummy!

After some moments of contemplation he then decided to flip the pages and continue reading the said book.

Are you contented from watching her from afar?

Hmmm.

Worrying that one day you'll see her in another man's arm smiling happily like a happy and sweet couple should be?

Yes. That's what exactly I feel.

Afraid to be rejected?

Hell ofcourse! Who wants to be rejected anyway?

Well you don't have to be afraid anymore because here are the tips that will surely help you to make the girl of your dreams yours. And YOURS alone.

Mine alone huh? I like it!

He pauses for a moment savoring the thought of having Mirajane just by himself. After an hour he then read the line.

Rule number 1. Dress to impress
