Laxus and I were in the store room kissing from a few minutes when I broke the kiss to catch my breath.

«Man, they're so noisy» he grumbled looking at the door with a smile. The guild members were still celebrating as loud as they could.

I giggled and gave him a quick peck on the cheek getting his attention back. «Yes, but that's exactly why we love them». I smiled lovingly at him.

The lightning mage snorted, but there was the shadow of a smile on his face. «If you say so».

That said he bent over me and kissed me again. I caressed his cheek with one hand and stroked his blond hair with the other one. In the mean time he lifted me up by my hips.

But shortly after our peaceful moment was disintegrated by a big crash and the sudden light.

We broke the kiss and Laxus loosened his grip on me, but didn't let go. We looked where there should have been the door. "Should have been" because now there was no door, the entire wall was destroyed. The whole guild was strangely quiet because everyone was staring at us from the big hole in the wall without saying a single word.

I felt my cheeks becoming hot and looked at the floor. In the middle of the rubble, Natsu and Gray were staring at us too. Not that I was surprise that they made this mess, but their stunned faces were hilarious.

A sudden laugh came from the other side of the guild and everyone turn around to look at Cana who couldn't stop laughing and fell on to the floor with an empty beer barrel.

I also saw Elfman and Lisanna. While Elfman expression was a mix between astonishment, rage and sadness, my little sister smiled at me satisfied and gave me the thumbs up. Closer to the makeshift door were the Raijinshuu who Laxus was staring at, as I noticed with the corner of the eye. Ever was fanning herself as always, but trying to cover the smile on her face. Instead Bickslow was looking at us giggling, followed by his babies. Lastly Freed was staring embarrassed at the floor, but he was smiling.

«Is there a problem?».

I turned around to look at Laxus, who had spoken with an arrogant tone in his voice as he always does. He tightened his grip on me and I blushed again, but I tried to ignore him.

No one answered his question, they were still staring at us shocked.

To try to turn everything back to normal, I cleared my throat and smiled to my comrades. «Happy New Year!». Then I tried to wiggle out of Laxus' arms, who didn't seem to agree with my attempt. I looked at him while the only sounds in the entire building were Bickslow's and Cana's laughs and started to poke his chest until exasperated he let me free. I looked around and then to Natsu and Gray still on the floor. «Why don't you guys get up and go back to the party?».

Both mages stared at me intensely for a few seconds, then turn to look at Laxus who was at my back and was staring them rattled. Noticing that, they decided to stand up slowly and to go back to the other room.

«I'll ask that again: is there a problem?» He smiled threatening and put an arm on my shoulders. I snorted at his attitude, but then smiled.

Suddenly two others laughs could have been heard, the ones of the First Master and Master Makarov. The First was sitting on the table swinging her legs back and forth and the Master had a glass of champagne in one hand.

«The matchmaker found love!» someone said and my face became as red as Erza hair.

«Laxus, it was time that you made a move on Mira!» Bickslow exclaimed between laughs.

After a few moments the entire guild was commenting on the news and the chaos came back to reign over the guild.

«I suggest a toast for the new couple of the guild!» The Master's voice was back to normal and there wasn't any trace of alcohol in his voice.

Laxus scratched the back of his head embarrassed and that made me laugh. It was unusual to see him that vulnerable. We made our way across the rubble on the floor to the main room and Kinana brought us two glasses of champagne winking at me.

«To Laxus and Mirajane!».

After five minutes the entire guild calmed down and we made out alive from the toast. Kinana stopped me from keeping waiting tables, saying that for one night they could have taken from themselves what they needed and Laxus and I had been forced by the First to sit at their table. Freed was talking to Laxus with a melancholy voice, while Bickslow was giving to Laxus a pat on the shoulders still laughing and Evergreen was laughing at the entire scene.

On the other hand Elfman and Lisanna came to me as soon as I sat down. Elfman was on the edge of crying and was saying that Laxus needed to act like a Man while looking at him with a little bit of hatred not well hidden. Lisanna instead was smiling happily chatting with me and the First.

The guild had recovered from the shock and was back to the celebration.

For the destroyed wall there would have been taken measures another day. As I turned to look at Laxus I noticed that he was staring at me, so I blushed and smiled.

It was 3 in the morning and the party was finally over. I sighed starting to pick up the glasses on the tables. Everyone left and who was too drunk to walk on his own, had been taken home by someone else. In that way I could clean the guild and then closed it without leaving anyone inside. It had been a night really remarkable, more than any other. I smiled thinking about the kiss with Laxus and I touched my mouth with my fingers. Who would have thought that we would have celebrate the new Year with a kiss. Or that I'd be able to show my feeling to Laxus.

I kept cleaning the tables humming, until I noticed with the corner of the eye something, or someone, upstairs. I looked in that direction putting the tray I was carrying on the table.

«I thought you went home» I smiled to Laxus and put one hand on my hip.

«Well, with all the mess they made» he said turning around to look at the destroyed wall and then looking back to me. «I wasn't able to say goodnight».

He grinned and walked down the stairs keeping walking towards me until he was just a few steps away.

«They can't mind at their own business» He crossed his arms underlining his muscles and staring at me.

«They're our family, it's obvious that it couldn't went unnoticed» I giggled and take a few steps in his direction.

«I understand that, but I was just hoping they didn't interrupt us».

«Did that upset you?» I stared back at him and started to poke him on his chest. He let me do it for about 20 seconds, then he caught my wrist and pull me towards him until I lost balance. He hugged me on my waist and then lifting me up to make me sit down on the nearest table.

«Yes, it upset me a lot.» He smiled and looked directly into my eyes.

For once I didn't see any barrier between us. This time I was able to see the true Laxus and his true feelings, I saw he actually cared about me and I couldn't be happier than how much I was about it.

I put my arms around his neck and pulled him as close as possible. «Then, let's pick up where we left off.» I smiled at him and kissed him.
