CHAPTER 3

-NARRATOR'S POV-

Laxus, whose concern about the event yesterday, asked Mira about what exactly happened with them during the night. Why is she gazing away from his eyes, and why is her face turning red. He wants to know if there's anything he needs to apologize with, or if there's any responsibilities he needed to take care of. Without any pause, he asked "Did I do you yesterday?"

Mira, a woman who never had any relationship, had her ears explode with those words. She didn't expect Laxus to ask a very direct question. Realizing his question, he blushed with embarrassment, and later asked with a more decent question "Did I do something to you yesterday?"

Mira was right; he doesn't remember any of it. She's pretty sure that he was just controlled by his drunkenness, and said those words without hesitancy. A bit disappointed, she replied "No, you didn't. Nothing happened yesterday, except I brought you home" she tried to smile while saying those words. Laxus, who is rather contented with Mira's reply, said "Okay, that's good I guess".

-MIRA'S POV-

"Did I do something to you yesterday?"… Seriously? Not even the moment he hugged me? Not even the moment he whispered my name? Why did I get my hopes up?

"No you didn't. Nothing happened yesterday, except I brought you home"
Smile Mira, smile. Try not to be suspicious with your actions. What he did yesterday was just a mindless action. And you know it yourself that there's a big chance that this will happen. I'm a bit disappointed but there's nothing I can do about it. But still, I have this small memory where a guy told me he likes me. I heard this term many times but when Laxus said it to me, I felt it was different from others. At least, at least, I heard him say it once… even if it's impossible.

"Okay, that's good I guess" maybe in his mind, it's good that there's nothing between us. Just thinking about it makes me melancholic.

-LAXUS' POV-

"No you didn't. Nothing happened yesterday, except I brought you home"
I'm relieved. I'm nervous that I hurt her yesterday.

"Okay, that's good I guess" I guess it's better to not know if I really hurt her yesterday. I know that Mira is a type of woman who doesn't speak much about herself. She's concerned more about the others. Even if she's a past devil, who's wilder than 50% of this guild, I know that she had a motherly side within her. I'm relieved that we're good.

-NARRATOR'S POV-

Without having to hear each other's thought, slowly by slowly the two of them misunderstood the context of the statements of each other.

Weeks passed, and Laxus still acts normal. Eating in the guild, reading books, guarding the guild, and taking care of Makarov. While Mira still have her mind confused and her heart broken. Thinking too much, Mira suddenly had a shut down while delivering the alcohol to Cana. The guild had a big ruckus since it was the first time they saw Mira fell.

Many assumed that she's too tired since she hasn't had any break since Grand Magic Game. But some assumed that she might be pregnant. There's a rumor about Mira, seeing a guy in a suspicious house. Lissana and Cana swiftly appeared and defended Mira about seeing a guy secretly.

Lissana: My sister will not do that, and I'm sure that if she likes someone she'll tell it to me and Elf-nii.
Cana: Mira was never interested in any guy, and she's a noble woman who will never get engaged in any secret affairs. How dare you all think like that?!

Hearing the ruckus in the guild, Laxus who is always on the 3rd floor went down to see what's happening. He saw Elfman and Evergreen assisting Mira, and heard the conversation between Lissana, Cana, and other guild members who assumed she was pregnant. He was shocked seeing Mira lie down like an injured person, and got more stunned after hearing the word "pregnant".

-LAXUS' POV-

"She might be pregnant"

Pregnant?! Who-

I saw Mira on the ground, lying like an injured person. I was stunned, thinking if it's my fault. Maybe I didn't hurt her, but I...

"Lissana: My sister will not do that, and I'm sure that if she likes someone she'll tell it to me and Elf-nii.

Cana: Mira was never interested in any guy, and she's a noble woman who will never get engaged in any secret affairs. How dare you all think like that?!"

Secret guy? Who is it, I want to know.
