Hello! Sorry for such a long wait! New chapter! Later on I'll be making a bonus chapter to makeup for this wait and any wait after this one. This time it's in the guy's (Laxus's) pov~ Enjoy!

In Fairy Tail quiet moments during the day are rare. Some people may find it very relaxing or enjoyable. Laxus was not that kind of person. Team Natsu was on a job and so was Gajeel so no one left at the guild was stupid enough to challenge him, Master Makarov went to a meeting and wouldn't be back until tomorrow, the only member of the Raijinsuu tribe in the guild at the moment was Freed meaning he wouldn't be going on a job, and everybody seemed to be taking a break from preparing for the masquerade while Levy calculated the rest of their funds. It was really boring. All he could do was sit at the bar, drink, and listen to music.

"I'm so bored today." He mutters under his breath. Although with his music on, he didn't know how loud he was actually being. At least it was only the few sitting near him that heard what he said. This included Mira. Without Laxus noticing, she leaves the bar for a minute and she comes back with a stack of books. She drops them right in front of Laxus. Laxus raises an eyebrow and takes off his headphones.

"If you're so bored, why don't you clean up the library?" Mira asks.

"What?" Was Laxus's lame response.

"The town library just gave us a bunch of books. They're in stacks in the guild library. Hard to miss. I want you to sort through the magic and non-magic books. Then I want you to put them in the correct spots."

"Why should I do this?"

"You're bored aren't you?"

"Yes, but-"

"Good! Now then get started!"

"Mira I don't-"

"Huh? Did I hear some arguing?" A dark aura surrounded Mira that made shivers go up Laxus's spine. Although he knew he could probably take her, he'd rather not. Groaning he gets up and heads to the guild's library. Upon entering he realized Mira wasn't joking about stacks of books. Every table had at least five stacks each containing at least 20 books. Sighing, Laxus makes his way to the first table. Sitting down at one of the seats he grabs the first stack and starts sorting.

If his day wasn't boring as it was, this was the boring strawberry on the boring cheesecake that not even Erza would eat because it was filled with so much boredom. Well maybe Erza would eat it. You never really know with her. It's been at least an hour and he just started sorting through the second table. At this point the only thing that kept Laxus awake was his music. He sighed for the umpteenth time that day. Correction, the umpteenth time since starting this "little project." Moving some books aside to get to another stack, he notices a plain red book with no title on the front. Picking it up, he checks the spine. Nothing there either. He opens the cover and to his surprise it read "Mira's diary. If anyone finds this return to me. Read a single word from it and you're dead meat." This must've been Mira's before Lisanna died. A few years ago Mira was furious at losing a book and went on a rampage for days. Perhaps this was the book she lost. It's amazing that it's lasted this long or she just brought it down here recently and forgot about it. It didn't matter, Laxus was going to read it anyways.

Dear diary,

Today was completely boring. Nothing happened because Erza decided to go on a job alone. And I totally wanted to fight her! She's really inconsiderate! Well Laxus was back for a bit so I guess that's a plus. Oh Erza just got back. I'll say how my fight went later.

This was actually kind of boring. Maybe if he skipped ahead a little he'd find something more interesting.

Dear diary,

I finally found you! Erza said she didn't hide you, but she totally did. Not a lot has happened since I lost you. Well other than the fact that the guild seems a little more afraid of me than usual. I have no idea why! When I've been looking for you they kept telling me to "calm down" or "don't wreck those shelves" or whatever. They told me to go on a walk around town to clear my head. Don't know why. That reminds me, there was a fortune teller in town. She told me "a great tragedy that'll change you greatly awaits me." Yeah as if. I'll always be Fairy Tail's strongest and nothing will change that. I'm going on an S-Class job tomorrow with Elfman and Lisanna. Hope that monster is ready to get his butt kicked!

Well that explained that she found the book. Reading one more page wouldn't hurt.

Lisannna I'm so sorry. I fail as a sister. I fail as a person. I didn't know this would happen. I'm so so sorry. Natsu is devastated, Elfman is beating himself up over it, and I'm crushed. If only I didn't bring you on that job. If only I had been able to protect you. Now you're just gone. The house feels so empty without you.

Laxus stopped reading. Tears stained the page and the ink was smudged so he couldn't read it that well. It's not like he wanted to anyways. This was definitely something super personal and sad. He flips forward many pages until he was sure he was a good amount away from Lisanna's supposed death. He finds an entry from around the time of Phantom Lord.

Dear diary,

Construction to rebuild Fairy Tail is coming along greatly! Everybody seems to be working extra hard! We even have a little guest who keeps watching Gray. I know she was from Phantom Lord, but I find it really cute that Gray has an admirer. I gotta say she's pretty fast and good at hiding. With everybody working on the building, nobody's really noticed her, well except for me! Well other than Gray's guest, nothing has happened. I'm still trying to come to terms with how much Laxus has turned into a giant jerk. I can't believe I didn't see it until now. I can't believe I used to have a crush on him!

A crush? On him? Mira had a crush on him? Well at least she used to. But still, the Mirajane Strauss used to have a crush on him! He read the line again and again, making sure his eyes weren't deceiving him. Yet there it was, plain as day. The door to the library opens and in one swift motion Laxus closes the book and grabs another one from the closest pile.

"Working hard Laxus?" Mira's voice rings out. This made Laxus's heart skip a beat and with every one of her footsteps his pounding heart got louder and louder. He suddenly found it hard to talk.

"Yeah." He responds, trying his best to sound bored. Mira stops at his chair and by now he swore she would be able to hear his heart. "Found something of yours." He takes the red diary and hands it to her without turning around. He swore if he looked at her his heart would leap out of his chest and his tongue would turn to stone.

"Oh! This is where that went!" Mira takes it from him. "Did you read anything from it?"

"No. Just opened the cover." Laxus lied. His mind was screaming at him to tell the truth and ask her about what she meant by having a crush on him.

"Well thank you. Keep up the good work!" He could hear her starting to leave. His mind was screaming at him again to make up an excuse. An excuse that'll make her stay, even just for a few more minutes.

"Hey Mira." Laxus forces himself to look at her. She stops and turns around. Until now, he never realized how beautiful she actually was. "Do you want to go to the Masquerade Ball with me?"

"I didn't realize you were into that kind of stuff."

"Well it looks like it'll be fun. And well, it'll be even more fun with you're with me. I-I'm not saying it won't be fun if you're not with me! I mean! It sounds like fun and it'll be even more so with you there!" Laxus swore under his breath. This made Mira giggle and Laxus's cheeks red.

"I'd love to go with you." Her smile brought butterflies to his stomach. "Don't think you can stop working because I said yes." She laughs before walking back to the guild hall. She left Laxus with the books and his thoughts. The thoughts of trying to figure out what happened to him.

Got a little sad. Well next up is ElfGreen (Elfman x Evergreen)! Keep sending in pairing suggestions!
