"I asked if it's because of our hair color." she blinked and immediately received a pat on her head by him. "Who knows." he sneered and turned his attention back to the money gathering his own share from what was left. Mavis blinked and shrugged then went back to gathering her money. After the silence veil covered the room again they both silently kept collecting their share until few coins were left. The moment Mavis reached out for the coins she realized that their hands touched. She pulled her hand immediately, Laxus gave her a questioning look. "I won't electrify you..." he leaned down closing his eyes while taking the bill. "Of course you won't." she took the remaining coins and once she was at 2500000 jewels she stopped.
"Finished!" she threw her hands up falling backwards to lie down on the floor. She stretched her arms and legs carelessly. "I almost caught a glimpse of your..." he covered his eyes not knowing what to do. He knew he had it coming for saying that. Mavis sat up and leaned a bit closer to him. "My legs? Don't worry I won't kill you for that." she smiled then plopped down again.
Laxus stared her reaction and decided to just let it go. He stayed silent until he realized that the 1st Master was going to fall asleep on the floor. He sighed and got up. One moment he looked at her the next he looked away. He had to carry her to the bed but how would he do that? It would be improper to touch and carry the Master like that. He stared , blushed, turned completely red at the lingering thought of how her cleavage was more visible. 'I can't let this' he mentally slapped himself , he couldn't actually do that, it wasn't like him and sighing he places his hands under her knees and back carefully before sweeping her up only to suddenly notice her opening her eyes and flailing her arms punching his nose hard. The pain made him move his hands dropping her on the floor. "Ouch!" she shouted. "What did you do that one for?" he shouted holding his nose.
"I got shocked!" she flailed her arms in embarrassment and quickly covered her face
"What was so shocking? I thought you were sleeping so I was going to bring you to the bed!" He explained revealing his wounded nose -his pride was wounded too since a woman had just punched him after all-.
"I'm sorry." she quickly got up rubbing her bum lightly. "Is your nose okay?" she looked at him worriedly. "It's my fault." she teared up. "I didn't mean to punch you." she floated and patted gently his nose.
Laxus was already having a hard time, now he had to deal with her tears? God hated him for sure. "Don't cry!" he mumbled then just stared at her, she stared back , her eyes still watery. "I don't know what to do if you cry..." he confessed making Mavis blush lightly.
"I'll...try to cry less...?" she answered shyly feeling a slight heat on her cheeks.
Laxus looked away immediately again feeling awkward and shy but he didn't want to admit it. "I'll go to sleep. Suit yourself on the bed if you want." he quickly walked to the couch of the apartment and lied down closing his eyes.
The blonde master was too tired to argue or actually leave and since he offered she quickly went on the bed hugged the pillow and closed her eyes to sleep even though she felt restless and unsettled for a reason she didn't know but she wasn't going to contemplate any further about it. Soon she fell asleep and that was it.
The sun rays passed through the window and gently touched the pale face of the blue haired mage. She didn't want to wake up though, in her dream she was in the arms of the man she had started to have feelings for. Nevertheless, the dream disappeared and as she came to her senses she opened her eyes and looked around the room.
Levy prepared herself and went out. Droy and Jet were already there waiting for her. Together they started walking to the guild until she saw Gajeel talking with a woman. The jealousy took her over and she immediately pouted. "Let's hurry up."
A few minutes later, she walked in the guild. Lucy, like always, greeted her warmly. They chatted for a bit even though Levy wasn't in good spirits. A few moments after, Lucy took off with Natsu and Happy to do a job. Levy got up to go get a juice before going in the library to study when she noticed Gajeel coming inside. She grimaced and refused to even talk to him. "Idiot" she mumbled to herself. "Levy-chan why did you call me an idiot?" Mira asked her surprised by the petite female's behavior.
"Eh? Ah no, I was thinking about someone. Can you give me my juice?" she asked when she felt Gajeel's energy around her. He was standing right behind her. "Drink something other than juice shorty." he teased her. Levy turned around swatting his chest. He was pretty sure it hurt her hand more than his chest hurt. "What was that for?" he gave her a glare. Levy huffed refusing to speak to him. She took her juice and walked to her table.
Gajeel took his beer and soon after he went to sit by the chair opposite to Levy's. He didn't speak he just looked at her worriedly. She wasn't her normal self after all. She didn't even give him her soothing smile. That wasn't okay but he was just too awkward to show any kind of worry about her at the moment. "What are you reading?" he asked her.
"Nothing" she grumbled.
"I'm not dumb. You're reading a book. What is it about?" he asked.
"Can't you read the title?" she asked rudely.
"Why are you so rude today?" he asked her confused.
'Why don't you ask that busty woman you were talking with earlier?'she thought.
"You called me shorty, that's why." She hissed at him.
"I said the truth." He said indifferently.
"Ah sou? Okay yes, I'm a short flat chested woman. I get it. Leave me alone." she shouted at him, everyone's attention at the guild was at her. She blushed, dropped her book and quickly dashed out of the guilt in embarrassment.
Gajeel stayed there wondering what was all that about.
"Levy seems to have something in her mind." Lily commented crossing his arms in front of his tiny chest.
"Seems like it." he shrugged not wanting to show that he cared.
"Maybe...a man? Maybe she is dating someone and he angered her?" he pondered making Gajeel burn inside. Was that jealousy? And who was that man? Suddenly he wanted to punch them hard. Fumes started coming out of his ears. Who was that scoundrel who was dating Levy? Certainly not Jet and Droy though.
"Just a guess. Maybe it's something else." Lily smirked. He knew what was going on in his partner's mind after all.
"Hmph" he looked away however since she went out alone Gajeel couldn't help but feel a bit worried. "I'm going out. I'll be back." he walked away waving behind him and quickly tried to catch Levy's scent so he can follow her.
"Yo everyone!" Gray came inside waving – yes he was shirtless.
"Yo Gray. Did you come here without a shirt? Otoko!" Elfman grinned.
"Ah!" he looked at himself realizing that he probably went out naked once again. "Chikuso. " he went to sit down overcoming the fact that he was shirtless. It wasn't like this was something rare anyway.
"Where's Natsu and Lucy?" he asked.
"They went on a job together." Mira came to serve him beer. "Here."
Suddenly everyone heard a knock on the door, their attention came to see a snooty man in a suit pushing his monocle up. "Excuse me, could I ask if Juvia Lockser is here?"
Gray immediately shot a glare at him. "What do you want with our guild member?" he asked him.
"I'm her ex-fiance. I have come to fetch her." he said looking around to see if he could find Juvia when he finally spotted her coming out of a door. "Juvia!" he cried out quickly making flowers appear out of nowhere.
"Ex-fiance?" Gray looked puzzled, an unsettling feeling in his chest made him wonder.
"Tomohisa..." Juvia froze unable to say a word or even move , her jaw dropped and she just stayed there.
"You look so happy to see me Juvia! How's the business going?" the man asked when he immediately received a flying kick from Gray sending him directly crushing at the wall."Don't scare the members of our guild!"
"Gray-sama! Are you jealous?!" she asked, getting back her color and happy expression.
"Baka! chige yo!" he shouted pumping his fist. "He just pisses me off." he said looking away.
"Juvia-chan..." Tomohisa got up. "I wanted to see you. Why did you run off like that. I have been trying to find you for so long... so long." he said looking at her with a desperate expression.
Right that moment Juvia's heart wavered. Long ago, she had loved that man, his words had hurt her but there he was saying that he wanted to see her. Was this a bad dream?
"Juvia-chan, back then I said terrible things to you. I never meant them I just got angry because I thought you were looking at another man."
Gray looked at Juvia's expression then he looked away from her. He didn't know why, but he couldn't deal with that situation. "Going on a job alone." he went to the board, grabbed one of the high paying jobs and left the guild.
"Gray, clothes!" Cana chuckled.
Juvia's eyes didn't even look towards Gray. At that moment, she was there dealing with an incredible emotional pain that she thought she had buried. "Come let's go catch up and have some tea" he said going to hold Juvia's hand ushering her to follow him. Nonchalantly the blue-haired female went along.
