Hey, guys'! This is my first Fairy Tail Fanfiction. I think Mira and Freed are really cute and this couple gets so little attention...I love ErzaXJellal as well, so if you like them and my way of writing, be prepared for some stories about them in the near future! I hope you enjoy (and review :) )

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail (Otherwise, there would be a lot more couples, haha)

Chapter 1:

Freed shifted on his chair in front of the bar. He had spent a lot of time here recently, because he could be close to Mirajane like this. Curling a strand of his long, light green hair around his finger, he watched her from the corner of his eye. After the Thunder God Tribe had been defeated, he had cut his hair short to get away from his past. Well, only two days later he had casted runes that made everyone's hair grow in their circle to get his old hair length back.

He cleared his throat and Mirajane walked towards him, looking at him with those big, blue eyes.

"Do you want to drink something now, Freed?", she asked politely. The curling of his hair was removed with drawing circles on the table

"No...thank you"

"Okay. Call me if you change your mind."

Freed nodded and Mirajane was just about to turn aroundbwhen he spoke.

"Mira? There...there is something I wanted to ask you."

She looked at him, obviously surprised.

"Oh?"

"Um...you see...what I wanted to ask you is...", he stuttered.

"Come on, Freed, I won't bite you!" There was a grin on Mirajane's face.

"Okay...well, I know that you're a famous model and so, but...would you...go out? With me?"

Until then, there had been the ever present chaos in the guild hall. Natsu and Gray (in underwear, of course) had been fighting, Lucy had complained about not being able to pay her rent and everyone else chatted, laughed or simply cheered for one of the fighters with loud whistles and screams. But as Freed spoke, the whole hall fell silent suddenly. Natsu, who had been about to breath in for a nice flame, held his breath and looked at the green haired man speechlessly. For some seconds, no one spoke. Then Cana, who was sitting at the bar as well and had a big tankard of alcohol in front of her, looked at Freed.

"Oh...and I thought you were gay", she said. Freed staredat her in a way that you would call scandalized, mouth agape.

"What?! Of course I'm not!"

In the background, Nav cocked his head and made the situation even worse.

"So you're not in love with Luxus?"

"N-No. I'm not."

Did really everyone in this guild think he was gay?! That was embarrassing. Like...really. Sure he had long hair and...well, sometimes cried, but that didn't mean he couldn't like girls! Especially a beauty as Mira with her flawless skin and curvy body...

...who burst into laughter now. Great. Why didn't he just kill himself.

"Alright...I'll go then", Freed muttered and slid off the chair, shoulders hanging.

"No, you stay here!" Mira grabbed his arm and held him back.

"I'm just laughing because I can't understand how they can think you're gay when you stare at me like Happy stares at fish", she said, giggling again. Freed blushed a little.

"So don't worry, I'll go on a date with you."

His eyes lit up.

"Yes? Wow...that's great! So...what do you think, shall I get you in the evening?"

"Sounds good to me. Have you something in mind already?"

"Yes, but this is going to be a surprise." Now his tone was a lot more confident and with a wide smirk on his face, he went out, leaving a happy Mira and a speechless guild.

When he was already gone, Gray shook his head lowly.

"Well, we can at least say that it never gets boring here..."

First chapter done! I think there will be four chapters or so, the next one is about the date. Little hint: Do you remember the winged fish? Please review, that motivates me a lot!
