Laxus pushed his stuff in his locker. In doing so, he was lost in his thought about his latest shop project. It's the one that involved electric circuits in it. He knew that it would take time to do, but he knew that he had a knack for doing these kinds of projects so it wouldn't be much of a problem. Unlike, the Heinous Bitch. He stifled a laugh upon remember the events from his recent encounters with her.
Once he was finished throwing all his junk in the locker, he slammed the locker door shut. Just then he was face to face with Sting. The poor bugger doesn't seem pleased, and that was slightly amusing. But not amusing enough to remove the growing irritation in Laxus because of Sting's unwanted company.
"Look, when I take out jewels I expect results" Sting said hotly. Laxus looked around, he wouldn't want to be caught for committing a murder in the school corridor if Sting continues to use that tone with him.
"I'm working on it" was Laxus's answer after finally deciding that murdering the brat ain't worth his shit.
"Violating my car doesn't count as a date" Sting seethed and Laxus gave him a twisted grin. Sting found this disturbing, but then again he should retain his tough composure. Rogue wasn't kidding when he said that he wouldn't like seeing Laxus Dreyar's Cheshire grin.
"And if I don't get any, you don't get any. So get some" Sting said cockily and an idea slipped through Laxus's mind. He was somehow considering to stop the deal with Eucliffe since the guy was annoying as hell. But, hunting Mirajane Strauss was quite interesting, and very entertaining. Why not do it for a little longer? He sure needs something to kill the boredom seeping through each wall of this damned institute.
Laxus isn't quite sure who exactly is the bitch this guy wasnted to hook up with. What the hell was so great about her?
"I just upped my price" Laxus called out to Sting who was now walking away.
"What?" Sting demanded, confusion and irritation marred his face.
"Hundred jewels a date" he elaborated, "In advance" Laxus finished with a grin
Sting scoffed, "Forget it, Dreyar"
"Well forget her dormmate then" Laxus stated bluntly. No other guy had the balls to go out with Mirajane Strauss, and Sting knew that. Sting shook his head in irritation. He never knew that this man can be so smart and manipulative. He was obviously playing with Sting in the palm of his hand.
Laxus grinned winningly at Sting. He knew he'd won.
Exhaling, as if it was a great chore, Sting walked back to Laxus with his hand in his wallet. Laxus looked around once more at the hall, wary of any sign of a teacher. His grandfather made it a school policy to check up on him if any faculty member noticed him having any interaction with anyone in the school. "With Laxus Dreyar, something sinister is always up" True, true.
"You'd better hope you're as smooth as you think you are, Laxus" Sting muttered and Laxus grabbed the money with a grin. No problem.

Gajeel Redfox peered in the welding room, along with Natsu Dragneel. They have been tailing a tall blonde guy all day long, looking for a perfect chance to speak with him.
"Thanks for the information, Ironface" Natsu whispered and Gajeel rolled his eyes at the Salamander.
"Yeah right. I don't even know how the fuck did you even got me involved in this" Gajeel muttered. He recalled that Natsu and Jellal asked some assistance from him. They asked him to spy on a person, and steal his class schedule in exchange for a few jewels and free lunch from Jellal. Gajeel was interested in the benefits he will receive once he gets his job done. After all, getting information about someone is his specialty.
But if he had known who the person he will deal with beforehand is, he would've backed out. He wouldn't mind starving for weeks if it only meant that he will not get any closer to a monster.
Gajeel was not one to be wary about someone, but Laxus Dreyar is a different case. No one would want to be involved with that nutcase. But then, since he agreed with the terms already, he had no choice but to do it.
He successfully stole Laxus's class schedule, but he almost got his head under the man's motorbike if he was caught. He also found out where the man lives, if that is quite useful.
"Come on, let's go" Natsu said as he dragged Gajeel with him. Gajeel scowled at the pinkette.
"Listen, flame-brain. That monster you are about to talk to is mad. If I were you, I will abandon this futile mission and I'll get back to my normal life." Gajeel stated and Natsu rolled his eyes.
"We won't gain anything if we won't try, come on" Natsu pressed on until the both of them are now standing beside Laxus. They watched him flung the hammer over the piece of metal on the work table.
"We-we know what you are trying to do with Mirajane Strauss" Laxus paused and glanced at the direction where the annoying voice came from.
Geez, it was the guy with the unmanly pink hair again with a new sidekick. It was quite new to him that he wasn't with that naked guy before. What the fuck is wrong with this guy? Hadn't the last warning been enough? Maybe he should brand the brat's ass with the welder so he can leave. Deciding that was too much effort, Laxus went back to his metal he was about to heat up.
"Is that right? What do you plan to do about it?" Laxus said, his voice rising above the noise of the workshop.
"Help you out" this time it was the sidekick with screws on his face who talked. Laxus rolled his eyes as he gave an amused chuckle.
"You know what? Why don't you go home, take a dump and go to bed" Laxus said bluntly as he continued to heat the metal, not even giving the two a sideways glance.
"The situation is, this dickhead over here has major jones for Lucy Heartfilia"
"Lucy Heartfilia? Who in Makarov's ass is that?" Laxus thought
"Who the hell is that?" Laxus asked, though he wasn't really quite interested. The heated metal in his hand is far more interesting than the chick they are talking about.
"The new lodger in Fairy Tail. You know, the girl Sting Eucliff has been tailing since the beginning of class?" Gajeel informed the blonde and Laxus shook his head. Amusing, very amusing.
"Is that right? What the hell is with this bitch? She have beer flavoured nipples?" Laxus grinned, walking away as he went to the next counter.
"Hey!" This time it was the pinkette's turn to growl. Gajeel pulled Natsu away before continuing.
Ignoring him, Laxus continued his work. The brat ain't worth his time.
"If I'm going to put this correctly, when I say Natsu's… erhm…love is pure, purer than Sting's" Gajeel said, not even understanding on earth did he manage to say that. He must've been spending a lot of time with that bookworm.
"Ah so that's the pinkette's name" Laxus thought. Laxus turned to the two of them after realizing that these two idiots won't leave him until he talks to them.
"I'm in this for the jewels. Sting can fuck whoever he wants" Laxus said as he put the metal down and took his project plans and began to scribble a few notes.
"That's it, there will be no fucking" Natsu saide threateningly, leaning towards Laxus.
Really now? He's defending the chick's honour. How noble.
"Laxus" Gajeel called as Laxus strolled away from them once more, his mind still mostly on his work. He thought that his project needs a little angle, he grabs his protractor off his work lectern while he listens with a passive ear.
"We, set this whole thing up so that the idiot here can get the girl. Sting's just a fucking pawn." Gajeel explained, ignoring the protest of Natsu about calling him an idiot.
This caught Laxus's attention. Someone was using Goldilocks (Sting)? Laxus turned to the pair.
"So you brats are going to help me tame the wild beast?" Laxus asked dubiously.
"Absolutely" Natsu said, "We'll do some research, find out what she likes. We're your guys!" Natsu cheered enthusiastically as he flung an arm around Gajeel.
Gajeel grimaced at the pinkette. "And he mean that in a strictly non-prison movie type of way" Gajeel pushed his friend away from him.
Laxus just stared at them. Prison? Hilarious.
"Okay, here's where we start" Gajeel said as he pulled out a folded yellow paper from his pocket. Laxus was familiar with the flier. He had read that it was a get together of the geeky Astronomy Club members who just wants to enjoy brie and wine. What a bunch of milkdrinkers.
"Now, on Friday night, Jellal Fernandez is having a party. It's the perfect opportunity for you"
Laxus must've heard it wrong. He was sure that it was just a nerdy get-together. He knows who Jellal Fernandez is. He's that nerd with the weird tattoo of some sort on his face. The disgustingly nice person who offered him an application form of the Astronomy Club. Why the fuck would he go to that loser's place?
"It says here free beer, if you're interested" Natsu added, making Laxus wonder even more. Jellal, parties and free beer didn't seem to go well together. Something's wrong. He too was sure that this Jellal person was with these two losers. Could it be that these two made fake fliers?
Laxus wanted to ask, but he thought it was too tiring to pry even further.
"The perfect opportunity for what?" Laxus asked, even though he knew too well what they meant.
"For you to take out Mira"
"I'll think about it" Laxus said passively as he left the two after grabbing his plans.
Gajeel and Natsu grinned as they looked at each other.
"Jellal will be in for a surprise" Natsu grinned as he shared a high five with Gajeel.
