Mirajane ~ April 23rd X792
"Sure, I'd love a nice bath." I smiled slightly and ran my fingers through a strand of my hair.
We headed into the bathroom and I began to run the water.
As I rubbed Laxus' back with the sponge he spoke up.
"Mira?"
"Yeah?"
"I think I heard something downstairs."
"Nah, you're hearing things." I brushed off his concerns and continued to wash.
"This is nice, ya know that" He muttered. "But seriously, I can hear something down there."
I knew he was joking to freak me out. He always did stuff like that.
"MIRA-NEE!" Lisanna burst into the bathroom. "I'M BA...ck"
She paused for a while in confusion. Her blue eyes skimmed over the scene as she tried to take it in.
"Umm. You're busy... I'll come back later." Lisanna left the room in an awkward hurry.
Laxus tilted his head back so he could see my face.
"Told you I heard someone"
I dried my hair with a lacrima dryer as I stood in front of my mirror.
Why did everything have to be so complicated? I knew Lis and Elf would find out eventually but was now really the best time for that to happen? Thinking back on all me and Laxuus had been through, I know he won't leave me or anything because of it but that smidge of uncertainty was driving me insane. Any minute now Lisanna would come in for answers and I'd have none. Great.
I finished drying my hair and decided to change into my pyjamas. A white strappy vest with a sequined butterfly going up the side. The bottoms to match were white with silver glittery butterflies going up them. They were a bit childish but they were my favourites.
Three chaps were heard at my door. I walked over to it and opened it up to find myself face to face with Lisanna in her pink bunny pyjamas holding a variety of sweets and blankets under her arm.
"I know you probably don't want to talk about your 'relationship' but it's been a while since our last sisters night and I've not had time to talk to you." Lisanna smiled.
"I'll talk. But I want some of your gossip too!"
We arraged the blankets over the couches and floor, some being thicker than others. In the center of the square of couches was the pile of sweets, crisps and drinks. I sat sprawled out on the L shaped couch and Lisanna sat across from me on the other couch with a bag of crisps in her lap.
Munching on a crisp Lisanna spoke. "I've been keeping an eye on the shipping in the guild for you when you went off on your jobs"
I smiled and motioned for her to continue. "I heard that Erza had to explain to Natsu what love was yesterday. That may speed up Nalus process. Gray and Juvia left the guild at the same time on Thursday, that could've been something."
"Good work Lisanna! Guess what I found out about a certain red-head?"
"What!?"
"JERZA IS REAL!"
"No way.."
"Yes way! Me and Laxus spent an entire week with them" I trailed off at the end, knowing I'd spilt more beans than I needed to.
"Mira?"
"Yes...?" I replied cautiously.
"How long have you had this 'thing' with Laxus?"
"It's April now, isn't it?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Well it started on new years, so almost five months now"
"You've put up with him for five months!" She exclaimed in suprise.
"Well yeah I guess. It's not as weird and wacky as you're making it sound Lisanna. I love him, he loves me, we have fun together. Thats all there is to it."
"You're in love!?"
"That is what I said Lisanna. It's not a big deal. I know you must feel a bit upset because I didn't tell you, but until Jerza and Master found out, no one knew."
"It's okay Mira-nee. I understand why you kept it hidden. Big brother Elf would've killed him for not being man enough or something."
I giggled and grabbed a bag of lacrimawave popcorn from the floor.
"Do you want to watch a movie?"
"Sure!"
April 24th X792
"So how'd it go?" Laxus asked as we sat in a small cafe in Oshibana with our coffees.
"Better than I thought it would. Lisanna actually took it quite well."
"Really?"
"Yeah. She seemed as if she understood why we did it and wasn't too bothered about the fact I'd been hiding it for five months."
"Maybe she was just trying to register it all demon."
"I know... it just got me thinking, if nearly everyone would react similar to Lisanna why are we so worried?"
"Because, nearly nobody will react like Lisanna."
"Fair enough."
"Mira?"
"Yeah?"
"I've got a proposition for you. Me and the thunder legion are going on a two week job soon. If we finish it in under two weeks you can't tell them, but if I'm late to fininsh it you can tell. Fair?"
"Fair."
AN - I've seriously been holding off writing this It's the last full chapter I have to still write because 1. I had no clue how to do the bath scene (I have no romantic experience whatsoever) & 2. I don't have a sister to bond with and my brother doesn't get along with me so that was really difficult & 3. I don't gossip. I'm one of the most anti social people ever. I don't have girly slumber parties. I will have a sleepover with one friend as we sit on our laptops and only show each other funny tumblr stuff. I don't do girly things. It's been about 2 months since I've been able to sit down and write. In that time I finished OHSHC & Parasyte The Maxim & Yamada Kun and the 7 witches. I started blue exorcist but I dunno if I should keep watching it or not. Anyone read the fairy tail Christmas special manga?
