Chapter Fourteen- The Start of Something…
"Are you sure about this?" Evergreen questioned the three girls who were giggling madly about the future events that were going to happen. As soon as the girls woke up they all went to Laxus's and Mirajane's room, and kicked the former out in order to get ready. That left them the whole day to get ready for the evening's ball, which Mira had explained "We NEED that whole time to get ready" to the sulking man she kicked out of his own hotel room, while Mira gave him his suit after opening the door and slamming it again.
"Yes Ever-chan! You're starting to look absolutely beautiful!" Hesper squealed while curling the Fairy mages long brown hair.
"That's what I'm afraid of… What I'm more beautiful than Laxus!" She said, an exasperated look to her face while she fanned herself with her fan she had with her all the time.
"Ever, you can't be more beautiful than Laxus. He would be handsome, not pretty or beautiful." Mira laughed, while she helped Lisanna paint the younger girls nails.
"True… But still… What if I surpass him?! It's impossible though, but I am still the most gorgeous fairy in the world!" She started to talk to herself, while Hesper rolled her eyes and continued to curl her hair.
"So… Ever… What is Elfman going to be?" Lisanna asked the mumbling woman.
"Hmm? Oh, he's going to be a beast." She said, flipping her hair, which caused Hesper to burn herself. The latter hissed, and bit back a cry, but continued to curl the woman's hair.
"So original…" Mira mumbled, which all the girls giggled.
"Well, what else would you expect him to be? He doesn't have much of a choice…" Hesper said, looking up from inspecting the burn on her arm.
"Yeah, I guess you're right… So what are you and Freed going to do while we act like guests?" Mira asked the girl, wiggling her eyebrows, while she moved to paint Lisanna's toe nails.
"Well, Laxus has finally has agreed to let us be the sneakers, so we are going to look around to see whose who and stuffs, and also do some sneak attacks!" She said moving her hands to do a chopping motion, and moved on from curling Ever's hair to painting her own nails.
"Are you two gonna do anything else while you two are in the shadows?" Lisanna winked at her, which then Hesper blushed.
"N-No… I don't think so… What about you and Bickslow?" She smirked back at the Take Over mage.
"Uhm… Acting like a couple at a party… Duh…" Lisanna shrugged, but Hesper saw the blush starting on her cheeks.
"So you two aren't going to kiss or anything, are you? I honestly don't know why you like him so much… He's creepy. Trust me, I've know him since forever." Evergreen shivered, painting her nails as well.
"Well, maybe… He kissed me last night so…" The youngest girl blushed more.
"HE DID?!" The other three stared at the girl with dumbfounded expressions on their faces, not expecting the man who acted like such a child to be forward with the younger girl. Then again, rumor had it that he slept around a lot, so…
"What about you, Mirajane? Have you and Laxus kissed yet?" Lisanna asked quickly to her older sister, desperate to get the attention off of her.
"Uhm, well… No… But we almost have… Twice." Mira sighed, looking a bit sad.
"Twice? Man, what did he do the first time?" Hesper asked her switching her 'paintbrush' to her other hand and painted her nails.
"He burped in my face…" She grumbled.
"Cockblocker…" Lisanna mumbled, which resulted in Hesper barking out a laugh and Evergreen glaring at her.
"I-It wasn't going to go that far!" Mira protested, which made the pinknette laugh even more and Evergreen starting to explain to Hesper the rules of insulting Laxus, which the Requipt Wings mage just ignored and made a dead serious face, looking Mira dead in the eyes, which was kinda dangerous given her distressed state…
"Mira, Laxus is just probably uncomfortable with relationships. He's used to well… you know…" Hesper looked at Ever with an uncertain look.
"I even heard he's even gone off with Cana a few times…" Lisanna mumbled, which made Mira burst into tears, and regretting on saying that, went to her over reactive older sister to comfort her.
"So he just wants to screw with me and then leave me in the dust? What a jerk!" The oldest girl sobbed, her newly put on makeup running.
"No. Laxus would never do that to you. I know he wouldn't. I see the way he looks at you. He likes you. I know because when I took out my rose wings a couple of months ago…" Hesper flashed her rosy-feathered wings for a few seconds. "… I saw you two were the same shade of deep yellow." She finished, looking at Mira, hoping she would understand.
"O-Ok… But how come he keeps avoiding me when we are so close to kissing?!" Mira had stopped crying, but a tear leaked out, making her eyeliner run too.
"He is probably scared." Lisanna said, and just at that moment the man in question opened the door, almost not expecting the girls to be half naked and their room a mess, full of makeup and other girly things, scaring and surprising the girls in the room; they had let out a squeak and quickly covered themselves up.
"What do you want?" Hesper growled, standing in front of Mira to cover the well… Not so pretty-looking-right-this-second woman. "Why do you keep hurting my friend? Leave her alone." She looked at him like she wanted him dead, which at the moment, she did.
"Scared? Me? Tch. Yeah right. The burp was an accident. Last night… Well… Ok, so maybe I wanted to wait for the 'perfect' moment or whatever…" He mumbled, which Hesper didn't believe, and so her dragon wings appeared and she went up and tried punching him, but he moved before she could, and she hit the door instead, and recoiling because she had just punched solid metal which looked like wood.
"Really? Cana? Ok, so once. I was stupid and young. But that's it. And you," he pointed at Mira, who recoiled her body. She really looked pissed and kinda scared, like he would hurt her. "You are far more amazing than any girl I've ever seen. So you don't need to worry about me screwing around anymore. I'm yours. So let's get ready for this f*cking ball, kill some people, and then go home." He said, and he left the room, heading into the bathroom and slamming the door.
All the girls just looked dumbfounded, and quickly reapplied Mira's makeup before finishing their own.
*~*~*~* (In Bickslow's Room, While 'Getting Ready'…)
"Kyahaha! What do you suppose the girlies are doin right now?" Bickslow asked, laughing as he poked Elfman in his big chest, and the bigger man shoving the taller one off of his own bed.
"They are probably getting ready for the ball tonight, I saw Hesper go there this morning." Freed said in his signature monotone voice.
"Tch. Yeah. You know I can hear what they're saying right?" Laxus said, walking in with his suit, which he had asked Mira for earlier (before the 'incident' in the above scene) and he set it on the bed, as far away as possible from the two wild men.
"Well, what are they saying? How MANLY we are?" Elfman said loudly while flexing, which resulted in the three men shushing him while Laxus listened to the four girls in the room next door.
"No, but they're saying how you're going to be a beast for the ball. Seriously? Could you not be more obvious?" Laxus grumbled at the white haired man, who looked down at his giant fists in his lap.
"Well, I couldn't think of anything manly…" He started to say, when he was shushed by the men again.
Laxus pressed his ear against the wall again in order to listen some more. They had started talking about Hesper and Freed…
"What are they saying now boss? Kyahaha!" Bickslow laughed his signature laugh, while his mouth opened to show his guild mark.
"Freed, what are you two going to do in the shadows, hmm?" Laxus barked out a laugh at his newest member's stupidity.
"N-Nothing but spy… I swear Bickslow if you don't stop and shut up right now…!" Freed began to yell at the man who was acting out a make out scene by turning around and wrapping his hands around himself, so that it looked like he was making out with himself…
"Shhh! Guys, I'm trying to listen!" Laxus growled at his bodyguards that shut their mouths and then pressed their own ears against the wall as well. Then Laxus's face turned a deep red at hearing the girls talk about him.
"What is it Laxus? Are you alright?!" Freed asked, jumping at seeing his master turn red, which never happened.
"Well, I'll go and show them that I ain't like that at all…" He grumbled, the other three looking at each other with questioning faces while he went to confront the girls. After about five minutes of yelling from the other side, and the sound of someone punching a door?, the guys decided to start getting ready before they ran out of time, and before Laxus could throw his fury on them…
But then they realized after half an hour that he wasn't coming back, so one of them had to go into the girl's room to deliver his suit.
"I'll do it!" Bickslow said, grabbing the suit and began to dash out the door, before a giant hand (Elfman's) landed on his shoulder.
"Oi! No you're not! My sisters' are in there getting dressed! That's not MANLY! I'll do it!" He said, and grabbed the suit out of the tall man's hands and started walking down the hallway.
"Wouldn't it make sense for me to do it, since I do not purposely look at women?" Freed said, grabbing the suit from the big man, and proceeded to knock on the door like a gentleman, when the door burst open and Lisanna grabbed the suit from him, and slammed the door, so quick that none of the men knew what exactly happened.
Then Hesper quickly opened the door just enough so that they could see one of her green and gold eyes and a wisp of her pink hair, and she said a quick "Thanks!" and slammed the door shut again. The boys only looked dumbfounded and walked back to their hotel room, ordered room service and proceeded to get ready for the ball that night, which was already only about two hours away.
AN: … Idk… Just enjoy the next chapter! (I'm thinking this is the third to last one, cuz the last one is probably going to be an epilogue.)
