One Week Later (one week until the party):
"So Mira, who's your date for the party?" Blaire asked the kind woman, at the end of a busy day.
Everyone had left except for her and the Trimens, minus Ren who decided to walk Sherry home, and her little sister.
"Um… I have someone in mind but I haven't got around to asking him yet."
"Who is it? Maybe I could help you?" Blaire offered.
"Okay I like Freid. But please don't say anything to him." Mira pleaded.
"Hey Mira can I have a glass of red wine." A man who Blaire recognized as Freid asked politely. He had walked in completely unnoticed by his friends.
The leader of the thunder god tribe was "trying to find a mission that him and the rest of his team can take once the holidays were over," but Blaire knew that he wanted to see Mirajane just as much as she wanted to see him. They were both so oblivious to the fact that they liked each other Blaire couldn't help but laugh.
"Mira can I have a virgin Piña Colada." Blaire requested.
Even though she was of legal drinking age she was highly allergic to alcohol. One sip of any alcoholic beverage would make her swell up like a balloon and with out proper treatment she could die.
"Don't you have something to tell Freid, Mira?" Blaire grimaced as Mira handed Freid his wine and handed her the fruity mocktail.
"What is it Mira? You know you can tell me anything right, we really have been getting close over the last few months and I want you to know that you can trust me." Freid said, calmly staring into the blushing barmaid's blue eyes.
"Well… Umm that's the thing. We are really good friends and I have been planning the big holiday party and I kinda told everyone that they needed to bring dates and I was just wondering if you were planning on going with anyone." Mirajane was blushing so hard Blaire was trying very hard to hold in a fit of giggles.
"As a matter of fact I was planning on asking out a certain someone. She is very pretty and she has white hair, beautiful blue eyes and the biggest heart of anyone I ever met." Freid said with a smirk.
"If your talking about my sister I think she likes Hibiki." She said motioning to a dark corner of the guild where Hibiki and Lisanna were currently making out under a mistletoe leaf, trapped there by on of Freid's enchantments.
Freid and Mira had decided to place many enchantments around the guild, so if two people walked into one of Freid's traps, they would be trapped until they kissed. No matter who it was, they would be stuck.
"No silly I was talking about you," Freid said before giving Mira a quick kiss on the lips.
"So I'll pick you up at seven for the party?"
"Sounds good." Mirajane said kindly before leaning in for a more passionate kiss.
Meanwhile Eve was freaking out. Even though Blaire was his date, she thought the two of them were going as friends. He needed to think of a way to confess his love to her.
"Hey Eve. What's up? Where's Blaire?" Lisanna said as her and Hibiki walked over to where he was sitting, holding hands.
" She's by the bar with Mirajane… But I think that when I asked her to the party she thought I meant that we were going just as friends." Eve said with a frown.
"Well you can do what Hibiki did with me and ask Blaire out while the two of you are stuck under on of Freid's Mistletoe enchantments." Lisanna said with a kind smile, stealing a mushy-eyed glance at her boyfriend.
"That might work. Thanks Lisanna!" Eve said and rushed off, towards the bar.
Eve stopped in the middle of the guild, thinking of how he would get his newly formed plan to work.
"Hey Eve what's up?" Blaire said walking over to where Eve was currently standing.
Just then a wall of purple rune letters appeared around the two mages.
Lucky break huh, Eve thought to himself.
Eve read the message out loud. "The two of you are currently standing in one of the many mistletoe enchantments that we have place around the guild. You will be trapped until you kiss each other. Happy Holidays. Love Freid and Mirajane."
"Well now that were stuck in here there is something that I have been meaning to tell you." Blaire said innocently.
"Yeah sure, what's on your mind?" Eve said, trying to sound nonchalant but clearly sounding a bit nervous.
"I love you. Like more than as a friend. I have honestly had feelings for you since you took me in as part of your group. When you told Ren that I was going to be you date I almost couldn't contain my happiness." Blaire said leaning in for a kiss.
The kiss was as sweet and innocent as their romance. Blaire would always complain about how all boys ever think about how good a girl is in bed or if they are pretty and have big boobs. She was very glad to know that Eve was not like that and that's one of the reasons she fell for him. His good looks were only a bonus in comparison to his kind and gentle nature.
Slowly breaking away from the kiss that he never wanted to end, Eve stared into Blaire with his bright green eyes and smiled.
"I love you too. Ever since the first day we met and you told me I had the worst cowlick that you've ever seen, and proceeded to spend the rest of the day with me, doing what ever you could to help me fix it. From that moment on I knew you were a very kind and caring person who would do anything to help your friends, not to mention the fact that you are brutally honest."
With those last few words Blaire's face proceeded to turn an incredibly bright shade of red.
"But that's a good thing! That's one of the many reasons why I love you." Eve said, grabbing Blaire's hand. He then gave her a gentle hug and suggested they head home, for it had gotten late and that it was their night to make dinner for the rest of the team.
Blaire grabbed Eve's hand and they started walking out of the guild, towards their house.
"Oh young love. Isn't it beautiful Freid?" Mira swooned over the new couple.
"Why yes it is." Freid smiled "But not as beautiful as you."
Freid stayed for while, helping Mirajane finish cleaning, and he decided to walk his beloved girlfriend home.
