Chapter Eight- Two Left Feet
It was Monday already. Hesper was dead asleep, until she woke up from the fact that someone had put an arm around her and pulled her closer to the source of heat beside her. She opened her eyes to look up at the ceiling of the sea blue-green room.
"Laxus, why do you smell like roses? You have a much skinnier waist then I remember too…" Someone muttered in his sleep right next to her ear.
She froze at the sound of the voice. Right… That was Freed beside her, and they had to act like a couple. At least she took a shower last night and smelled ok…
He dreams about Laxus…? Creepy… She shuttered from hearing him in her ear, and from when she found out what he dreamt about. But, he pulled her in closer, into a bear hug of sorts.
"Don't worry, I'll save you Laxus from the evil unicorns…" He muttered again, and some how, he rolled on top of her, so now they would have been face to face, but she turned her head from that happening. Gosh, this was becoming super awkward…
"Let me see your face Laxus! It's so handsome! I've saved us from the horrible unicorns!..." Freed muttered again, and some how he managed to turn her face. Oh gosh, why'd he have to wear nothing but boxers when he slept?
She was face to face with the still sleeping Rune mage, and yet, he had managed to get her into a bear hug, and on top of her, AND turn her face so that she was looking at the sleeping mans face. He had his hair loose from his long pony tail, so his green hair was falling around their faces. At least the lacrima couldn't see what they were actually doing…
"Freed… FREmmmph…" She gasped as he kissed her on the lips. Err, well, technically speaking, he was thinking he was kissing Laxus.
"Oh I'm so glad you liked that kiss Laxus! Would you like another…?" He muttered again, asking her in his sleep.
"N-NOOOO! F-FREED F*CKING WAKE UP!" She screamed at him, pushing him off of her and off of the bed, pulling the sheets along with him.
"Wha…? Oh! Good morning Hesper. I hope you slept well?" He asked her, looking around because he was now on the floor.
"Well, until someone decided to wrap me in a bear hug and get on top of me, sure, I had a great nights sleep." She muttered to him, blushing furiously.
"What? Who would be able to do that?" He asked her, apparently not remembering what just happened due to him being asleep at the time.
"YOU! YOU F*CKING GOT ON T-TOP OF ME THINKING I WAS F*CKING LAXUS!" She yelled at him, her face crimson by now.
"Oh gosh… I-I did? I'm so sorry Hesper… I… I didn't mean to…" He started saying to her as she got up, and grabbed her clothes for the day out of her drawers and slammed the door shut in the bathroom, locking it for good measure.
"Just in case you have another Laxus-is-the-damsel-in-distress dream." She yelled just loud enough for him to hear.
"Hesper, look, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to…" He said getting out of the bed to go and beg her forgiveness at the bathroom door.
"Fine, I forgive you. But only because you kiss really good when you want to." The scarlet girl said, almost passing out from the heat on her face. She didn't hear him after that, only to hear a thump.
"Freed? Are you ok?" Hesper asked, unlocking and opening the door, fully dressed now. She covered her mouth to stifle a laugh because the poor man had passed out from embarrassment.
Also because his first kiss that he had was when he was asleep, and he had it with someone who wasn't Laxus…
o~o~o~o (In A Dance Studio A While Later…)
"Ugh, Miraaaaa… Why'd you make us sign up for this?" Laxus moaned to her while they were waiting for the dance instructor to come to teach them how to waltz.
"Because! You don't want to look like a fool when we are actually on our mission, do you?" The demon smiled back at him, while he just glared a deadly look at her.
Mira and the other girls (minus Hesper, because she was a bit busy that morning trying to wake up Freed…) had signed the group up for a dance class so that they would properly learn how to dance. However, the white haired women already knew how to, due to missions in the past.
"Why wasn't I in that discussion?" Hesper whined.
"Because you and your 'lover' decided to sleep in." Evergreen said, getting a stab back at her from the other day's discussion about the reason why she and Elfman were late.
"Yeah. What took you guys so long to get here anyway?" Lisanna decided to join in.
"Freed passed out." Hesper said, blushing slightly.
"Kyahaha! Did you get a look at her panties or somethin? I got a good look at Lisanna's last night!" Bickslow laughed, while Lisanna elbowed him hard in the chest, blushing slightly.
"I-I just forgot to lock the bathroom door's all…" Lisanna mumbled, while her sister looked at Bickslow with a look of disgust.
"Good morning class! I am Mrs. Tiger." A tall skinny blonde lady (also with a heavy French accent) walked into the dance studio. "I'm going to teach you the basics of waltz today. I will assign partners to the best height. You, white haired miss. Go with the tall knight man." The lady moved Mira to stand next to Bickslow, who wanted to die rather then be with her.
"I swear I didn't do anything! I didn't even know she was in the bathroom…" Bickslow whispered to Mira, while Laxus chuckled, being the only one besides Mira that could hear the terrified man. Mira only stomped on the tall man's foot, really hard.
"Be nice." The lady said, whirring around when she heard Bickslow groan. Mira smiled and waved at her. She turned back around, starring at the rest of the group, which they were standing in a straight line, as was the older lady's directions.
"You and you together." The lady pointed to Hesper and Laxus, who were the next tallest (at least in her eyes, but it was really inaccurate, since Bickslow and Hesper were the tallest guy and girl there…). Hesper glared at the blond man, and he glared right back at her.
"Hmmm… And the white haired boy with the lady with the glasses." She pointed at Evergreen and Elfman. They just looked at her in shock, but other then that they didn't look as pissed as the others.
"And that leaves the nice young lady and the gentleman." The dance instructor put Freed and Lisanna together. They looked the least mad about that, though they didn't 'like' each other, they didn't mind being dance partners.
"Alright. I'm going to play the music and then you do what I show you to do." The French lady said, staring up the music lacrima in the corner of the room. A slow waltz song came on and started playing. "You. Come up so that you can be my temporary partner." She pointed to Bickslow, who slumped his shoulders and walked up to her.
She grabbed his hands, and then in a one-two-three motion, moved her feet in a square, and she made him twirl her every so often. Lisanna tried not to mad, while everyone else repeated her motions with their partner, except Mira, who watched evilly.
"Why did she assign us partners if we already had them?" Hesper grumbled to Laxus, while he twirled her, Mira watching as if she was about to kill her.
"Do I look like I know? Mavis, does Mira really like me that much? She looks like she's about to kill you." Laxus chuckled at the girl in his arms.
"Yeah, she does. Why do you think I put you two together?" Hesper said, smiling shyly at her friend, who only waved back, a look of hidden fury on said Demons face.
"Nice. I think I'll go talk to her then, since the teacher seems preoccupied with Bickslow at the moment." He grinned, twirling her around super hard, and she crashed into the wall, which was made of bricks.
"Shall I have this dance, madam?" Laxus grinned, while Mira looked in horror as her friend spun into the brick wall and crashed into it.
"Laxus! You could have hurt her!" Mira growled at him.
"Ok, so you wanted to kill her watching me dance with her, and now you want to kill me because I came to ask you to practice dancing?" He looked questioningly at her.
"Hmph. Ok, I suppose I'll dance with you then…" She flushed slightly, and they started dancing.
"She stepped on my feet too much anyway." Laxus said as he twirled her, while the Take Over Demon Soul mage giggled.
o~o~o~o
"Why does she have to make Bickslow dance with her?!" Lisanna asked angrily to Freed while she and him watched Bickslow dance with the dance instructor.
"Because he is the tallest one out of all of us, and she is the tallest woman here?" Freed suggested as he heard the woman laugh at one of Bickslows stupid jokes.
"Laxus was right, this class sucks. I'm going to give that woman a piece of my mind." Lisanna said, stomping over to the tall couple.
Freed only shrugged and then heard a crash from behind him. He turned around to see Hesper crash into one of the brick walls. He rushed over to her while the youngest Strauss sibling walked up to the tall instructor.
"Look, Mrs. Tiger, I think you've had your fun." The girl said, shoving her away from Bickslow and grabbing his hands, starting to dance with him.
"Well, well, well, looks like someone DOES care about little old me." Bickslow chuckled, while the smaller girl glared at him, stomping on his foot just as hard as Mira had.
"She wasn't really teaching us anything, so why not step in…" Lisanna said, as she stopped dancing, because the instructor stopped the music before they could dance anymore.
The dance instructor heard the crash and "Get the hell out before I call the police and get you all arrested!" while the group held on to their partners hands (Well Freed carried Hesper out, because she was unconscious) and ran out of the dance studio. So much for the proper dance lesson…
o~o~o~o (Later That Night At The Hotel…)
Hesper and Freed were in their room (the girl on the bed reading and the guy was currently taking a shower) when the pinknette heard a knock on the door. She got up from her comfortable spot on the bed and opened the door.
"Kyahaha! I told you they'd be up still!" Bickslow grinned at Lisanna, who looked a bit mad.
"Hey guys. Whatcha want?" Hesper asked, letting them in the room.
"Me and Bickslow were wondering if you'd like to do some spying on Elf-nii and Evergreen?" The white haired girl asked grinning a second later, following her friend inside the threshold.
"Spying? This late at night?" The pinknette asked, sitting back at the head of the bed, picking up her book.
"It's not that late…"
"Bicks, it almost eleven."
"Don't call me Bicks! It sounds like d*cks…"
"Bickslow! You kiss Lisanna with that mouth!"
"What?! No I don't!" The grown man flushed slightly at that, crossing his arms and seating himself on the edge of the bed.
"Yeah! No he doesn't!" Lisanna did the same motions, sitting on the opposite side of the man.
"Ok, so maybe not yet… But I bet you someday you two will! (I'll get you two together even if it kills me…)" Hesper mumbled, opening up her book, trying to find her spot again.
"What are we talking about here? Bickslow, how many times do I have to tell you to stay out of my room!? Even on vacation those rules still apply." Freed said, walking in the room with his rune pajama pants on, not noticing Lisanna was behind him.
"Oh! Hi Freed!" Lisanna waved at the man, drawing the attention on him.
"Hello Lisanna. Isn't it a bit late for you to be up?" He asked.
"Isn't that the same for you?" The younger girl asked him.
"Hesper take too long in the shower… She sings really badly too…" The green haired man mumbled, looking through their drawers to find himself a shirt, since they had company.
"Hey! I'm not deaf you know!" Hesper yelled at him.
"It sounds like it when you sing in the shower…"
"Oh is that why you two were late this morning?" Bickslow asked. "Or is there a different one?" He grinned.
"Freed was having a 'Laxus is my damsel' dream." Hesper barked out a laugh, deciding to tell what really happened.
"Really? That's not a surprise…" Lisanna mumbled, moving next to her friend on the bed.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Hesper grinned.
"Hey!" The green man yelled, moving to sit beside Bickslow, where Lisanna sat before.
"Heh. But that's not all is it?" Bickslow wiggled his eyebrows underneath his visor, leaning closer toward the girls, who leaned closer toward the headboard.
"W-Well… He wrapped me in a bear hug and got on top of me… and then kissed me…" Hesper blushed scarlet like she had that morning, making it so that her face was becoming hidden in the book she was 'reading'.
"Wow, Freed! I didn't know you could be so naughty! Kyahaha!" The Seith mage laughed, slapping the other man on the back.
"I-I was dreaming though… I-I thought she was Laxus…" Freed blushed the same crimson he had that morning too.
"Ok, well, it's done and over with… Was it a good kiss?!" Lisanna asked her friend, who leaned so far from the girl's creepy smile she fell off the bed.
She sat up and brushed her pajamas off, which consisted of a teal tank top and yellow boxer shorts. "U-Uh… Maybe?"
"Whadda mean, maybe?! There are no maybes when it comes to kissing! Either he was great or he failed horribly!" Bickslow said, bouncing up and down on the bed in his sitting position like a five year old.
"W-Well… Wow, would you look at the time? Come on guys, its time for bed!" Hesper said, sprouting her dragon wings, and picking up Bickslow like a baby and shoving Lisanna off of her bed, tossing them out the door, and shutting it gently after yelling "Goodnight! Sleep well you love birds!"
"He is a good kisser, isn't he?" Lisanna asked after standing up and brushing herself off, heading a door down to their own room.
"I don't know. That or he's super bad at it and she didn't want to say anything." He man laughed as he flung his arm over her shoulder and opened the door after Lisanna unlocked it with her card.
