The Mission That Brought Us Together ~ Date!
Everything seems normal after the white hair woman and lighting dragon slayer returned to the guild after the mission. They were being paid a visit from the magic council army to get details of the man in black, Veil. The barmaid is back at the bar serving as usual while being help out by Kinana. The lighting dragon slayer didn't go on a mission with the Rajinshuu, instead he spend most of his time in the guild, in front of the bar counter to be exact.
The barmaid will drop by in front of the lighting dragon slayer to have a small chat when the bar wasn't that busy. Well, nothing in particular they talk about, nothing personal, at least not in the guild with so many wizards around.
"Why didn't you go on a mission with the Raijinshuu Laxus?" the barmaid casually ask as she serve the drink for the lighting dragon slayer.
"Well.. I don't feel like going. I needed some rest as well after that mission." He reply while he shift his gaze from the drink being serve to him up to the woman in front of her.
"Hmmm.. Rest? Aren't we back from that a few days already? You're still feeling tired? Is everything ok with you Laxus?" Ask the barmaid in a little confusion.
"Eeerrr… I.."
"He wanted to hang out where he got to see you Mira. Tired is just an excused." The red hair armor lady interjected with a smirk on her face.
Both the white hair woman and the lighting dragon slayer turn to look at the side of the counter where Erza is standing with her massive amount of luggage then back at each other. Their cheeks slightly start to flush as Mira turn to see if there's any customer at the counter and the dragon slayer turn to face Erza with a "keep your mouth shut" face.
"Why don't you ask Laxus out on a mission Mira? See if he's still tired." The smirk on the armor lady widens.
"Just shut up Erza. Or I'll make you." Growl the dragon slayer over the counter as he tries to hide his flustered cheek.
"Hmm.. We are going out on a mission now. Have fun you two." Erza smirk again before she turn to her other team mates and leave the guild.
"Geez.. She can be a pain in the ass sometimes." The lighting dragon slayer sighs as he grab his drink.
The barmaid giggle a little looking at the expression of the dragon slayer. The barmaid then turn and walk away to serve the incoming customer from the other end with Kinana. The dragon slayer put down his drink while his sights follow the barmaid away.
"Why don't you ask her out on a date?"
Slightly shock, the dragon slayer turn to the sound of the voice. The tiny man gulp his booze after that statement.
"Not you too gramps. Why do you need to be like Erza. Give me a rest." Mutter Laxus at the tiny man sitting on the bar.
"I'm saying the truth. If you want to spend time with her, isn't going on a date is the best thing?" the master speak without looking at his grandson.
"She.. She's too busy. She won't have time to go out with me." The dragon slayer reply while his eyes glare over to the barmaid.
"Busy? Or are you afraid to ask her out?" the old man gulp down his booze after finishing his sentence.
"I'm not afraid. Why would I be afraid?" Laxus speak loudly without him noticing.
Just as he realizes his booming voice echoed around the guild, he turn to look at the barmaid watching him with a confusion look. He then quickly turn back to his drink and pretend everything's normal.
"Ask her out. I'm sure should wouldn't reject you." The guild master speak with his eyes close.
Turning to look at the old man then back at the counter, the lighting dragon slayer look serious while he's cracking his head. Just then the barmaid returns to her previous position.
"Is everything ok Laxus?"
Looking up at the white hair woman, the lighting dragon slayer swallow hard before he start to speak.
"Ye.. Yeah.. Everything's fine." He reply softly while he switch his gaze from the white hair woman down to his drink.
"Go on. Ask her out." Rush the old man as he open his eyes.
"Yeah. I'm gonna ask her out. Why must you be so impati..tient."
Realizing what he just blab out, he look at the barmaid a little awkwardly while her eyes widen at what she just heard from the dragon slayer. Both stay in silent. Then the guild master turn to look at his grandson.
"Not bad. You have the guts to ask her out on a date huh?" Tease the old tiny man.
While both the S-Class wizards face starts to blush, the dragon slayer turns to the old man and speaks up.
"Would you leave me alone old man?" mutter the dragon slayer with an angry but shy at the same time.
The master grin then turn to the white hair woman.
"Have a fun time Mira. Ho ho ho." He jumps down from the bar and run off.
"Geez.." the lighting dragon slayer turn back to the counter. Closing his left face with his left hand that's on the counter, he closes his eyes and sighs. As he slowly look up, he see the barmaid smile at him as if waiting for him to speak up.
"Er.. say Mira." The dragon slayer's voice fills with nervousness as he speak.
"Ye.. Yes?"
As if the nervousness has transfer from the lighting dragon slayer to the white hair woman, she starts to feel nervous as well.
"Are you free to.. tomorrow?"
"Urm.. yes I suppose."
"Good.. Urm.. I mean.. will you go out with me?" his face starts to flustered after he finish speaking. But he doesn't turn away. He wants to see the expression and hear the answer of the woman in front of her.
"Su… Sure." The barmaid reply then look down at the floor of the counter to hide her blushing face.
Even her face isn't looking at the dragon slayer, but he can see a smile on her lips. The lighting dragon slayer grin from ear to ear while he observe the barmaid. He then finish off his drink and set his glass on the counter.
"I'll meet you here tomorrow morning then." The lighting dragon slayer stand up and turn to the barmaid before leaving.
The barmaid nod her head twice with a sweet smile. Returning the barmaid smile, the dragon slayer slowly turn and walk to the guild door. The white hair woman lock her eyes on the leaving dragon slayer in her position. Just before the dragon slayer step out from the guild, he turn and smile to the barmaid that's watching him. The white hair woman's smile widen as if reply to the dragon slayer's smile. The lighting dragon slayer then turn and leave the guild.
The barmaid then walk up to the purple hair lady.
"Kinana, will you be alright by yourself tomorrow? I.. urm.. will be going out tomorrow." The white hair woman speak to the other barmaid.
"Sure. Most of them already went on a mission. There's not much to do here I'm sure." Kinana finish with a smile on her lips.
"Thanks Kinana." The white hair woman reply with a smile as well.
Then they continue to serve the incoming customer at the counter. Both the lighting dragon slayer and the white hair woman couldn't wait for the next day to take over…
