Laxus Dreyar awoke to the annoying sound of his alarm clock. Groaning loudly, he slammed the snooze button with his large and powerful hand. Turning over, he found at his side an empty spot.
Right, it's been two weeks since Cana left him.
Slowly rising from his king sized bed, the blond shirtless male waked to his bathroom. His room was a fair size. The apartment in general was perfect for a bachelor of twenty eight. Bed, nightstand, hamper, a walk-in closet and a small bureau were all he needed in his room. It was all he needed in his life, besides food.
His foot hit a bottle of Cîroc. He looked down to see the empty alcoholic bottle. Cîroc was Cana's favorite, that drunkard.
Shit. Why did he drink that whole thing? Damn, Cana. Why did you have to go? Was he not enough? They were even thinking about marriage and kids. But no, she wasn't happy or satisfied any more.
Was it really her? Or him?
Showering and dressing in his purple button down with black dress pants and a matching blazer, Laxus placed his best loafers on to leave to work.
At 28, Laxus Dreyar was one of few people who obtained a Ph.D. and became one of the youngest professors in Magnolia University. The school was the greatest in all of Fiore. It was known for its talented students and troublesome students as well. Being a professor was a privilege and a burden. Everyone knew him as Dr. Dreyar, grandson of President Makarov Dreyar. He was never just known as Dr. Dreyar.
He entered his black BMW from his private garage to exit to a nearest café. He was a regular at Fairy Tail. That's where he met Cana. Though, they are over, going to his favorite café was not going to stop him.
Laxus went into the small café to purchase his regular large coffee with milk and sugar. He decided to get a bagel with butter as well.
He went over to the cashier. Kinana, the main cashier, was not there today. Instead there was a beautiful female with long white hair wearing a pink strapped dress. Her breasts looked wonderful in them as well.
"Good morning sir." She said with a kind smile, though Laxus knew it was fake.
"Mornin'." He looked around the café to see if he found Kinana.
"Is there something you need sir?"
"Ah, yeah. Is Kinana here?"
"Oh, no. she's on maternity leave. I'm her co-worker, Mira. I usually cover the night shift."
"No wonder I haven't seen someone as beautiful as you." He flirted.
Mira just smiled. "Are you ready to order?"
Laxus blinked in surprise. No girl ever resisted him.
"Yeah, let me get a large coffee. Milk. Five packs of sugar. And Italian roll with butter." He ordered.
Mira nodded, placed the order into the computer to charge Laxus, "4 jewels please."
He handed her the money and waited for his order. It felt really awkward for him to make small talk now, especially after she shot him down like before. So he just stood quietly to wait for his order.
Fairy Tail was known around the university, but it was never busy. There were always the small local people entering and leaving. Some were students from the school, others were just old men trying to run away from their wives.
"Oi, Dr. L, what you doing here?" a male voice called.
Laxus turned to see Natsu, one of his students from last semester and a chef of the café.
"Came to get my regular order." He said.
"Sup, Mira. Have you met my professor?" Natsu introduced.
Mira smiled. "Yes, he is quite the character."
Natsu laughed. His weirdly pink hair was tied back as he placed on his uniform for the day. "I actually have you today, prof."
Laxus inwardly screamed. Natsu was nothing but a pain. He would always come late and make the most noise or be asleep. His best friend, Lucy, would force him to stop. If it wasn't for that blonde Natsu would have failed his class.
"Which class?" Laxus asked.
"Business and Finance 103."
"Here you go." Mira interrupted as she handed him his items.
He grabbed the items from her. Their fingers slightly touching, yet he felt his whole body being electrocuted.
"Have a great day!" she said.
"Likewise." And to Natsu. "Do not sleep in my class." He warned.
The day was going by fast. In his first class, which was an advanced business class for seniors, went by quickly. The students knew the protocol and procedures from him. They knew how strict professors were with papers and tests. His second class for the day was right after his first class. They were freshmen. Just learning the ropes of college and the horrors to come. The late nights, the drinks, the temptations, the all-nighters, the crying, fighting, screaming. They were in for a long semester. Laxus was known as being a hard-ass, so if you didn't do your work on time or whatever reason, it's a F.
Not many people lasted in his class. He would expect at least half the class to not drop out, but then again it would be more than half.
His last class was a night class. The one that Natsu would be in. the business and Finance 103 class spoke on the beginnings of savings and starting a business. How to be financially stable and how to handle stocks. It was his most boring class. Even he hated it. That's why he warned Natsu not to sleep, though he knew that what was exactly going to happen.
In a lecture hall on the top floor of the university, Laxus went into the biggest class room in the school. The room could fit up to 100 seated students. Laxus described it as a very small stadium. He saw that no student was there yet. He checked his watch. He was an hour early. He began to set up. Then went to get some food from the cafeteria.
"Laxus!"
He turned to see his best friends since high school, Evergreen, Bixslow, and Freed.
"What are you bastards doing here?" he asked.
Evergreen swished her long light brown back from her shoulder. She is the fashionable professor in the chemistry department.
"Hello, I have a lab tonight, with freshmen." She said rolling her eyes. She hated teaching the younger students.
Bixslow smirked. "I personally love the freshmen." He joked. Bixslow was the head of the department of Biology. Its co-partner is Chemistry, which Freed is the head of. They were the youngest heads of the department in Magnolia University history.
"Pedophile." Freed claimed.
"The females are above eighteen." He announced.
"I need food and I'm going to class." Laxus informed them. He left his friends to get something to eat. As he finished his grilled chicken sandwich and Gatorade, Laxus checked his watch.
Shit! He was three minutes late. He ran back up as fast as he could to find Natsu dancing on his desk. He went up to the idiot and yanked him down from his pink hair.
"Back to your seat Natsu." He announced.
Natsu listened while rubbing the part that Laxus pulled.
Laxus coughed into his fisted hand. "Sorry for the lateness. I lost track of time. So today we are going to go over the syllabus, what is required of you and attendance. I'll do that first."
As he went over the names, he found many of his old students in this class. And many new ones as well.
"Mirajane Strauss." He called out.
"Present!" the voice called out.
Laxus looked up to see who spoke. A girl with a black crop top and long white hair tied in a ponytail stared at her professor with recognition.
It was Mira. The same sweet girl from the café. She was like a completely different person than in the café.
"Ah, right." He said. Trying to rid of the image in his head of how great her body looks in that crop top. Was she wearing a choker too?
As he finished the list of his students, sixty eight were what he had, he began to explain the syllabus and what was required of the students.
Laxus was more lenient with the lower business levels. Just three quizzes, two five-page papers, a midterm and final. In the upper level classes it would be one twenty page paper, five quizzes, and three tests; a mini midterm, a midterm and a final, plus an online discussion session based a question on the chapter assigned for that week. Yeah, Laxus was a hard-ass.
Natsu groaned the whole time. His other best friend Gray smacked the back of his head to shut up. Laxus continued until class time was over. He always gave his students a week to gather all of their material for his class. By next week, teaching will really begin.
As each student left, Laxus packed his materials to take back to his office before leaving. A student went up to him, probably to flirt like every semester. His gaze lifted to see Mirajane in her crop top and purple short shorts with thigh high boots.
Damn, was it really that hot in here? During class, he tried really hard not to focus on her. Thank God for Natsu for once. All of his frustration was focused on him. Now, she was right there in front of him. Just him and her alone.
"H-hi Mira." Damn, he stuttered.
"Hello, Dr. Dreyar." She said with her angelic yet seductive voice.
She sat on his desk, with the position of her body, Laxus was able to see how God blessed her with every curve.
His shifted his pants in a way that won't allow anyone to see what was bothering him.
"I'm sorry if I was rude to you today. I'm just so cranky in the morning."
"It's fine Mira." He barely tried to say.
"I hope that we will get along this semester." She said with her signature fake smile.
In his head, Laxus imagined how well they could get along.
"I hope you have a good night and see you tomorrow at the café?"
"I don't work on Wednesdays or Fridays."
"Oh, so Thursday then?"
"Thursday." He agreed.
While leaving, Laxus imbedded the way her ass looked in those shorts. Mira was his student! No affairs with your students! That was the number one rule. But no one said it was against the law to think about them.
