"What the hell are you doing?" Laxus demanded of the blonde wizard in the hallway, not entirely certain that he wanted to know. The Celestial spirit mage jumped three feet in the air, whipping around to face him.

"Shh!" Lucy hissed, "She'll hear!"

"Your hissing is louder than me talking," He retorted, but with another panicked glare from Lucy he rolled his eyes and shut up.

She bit her lip and peeked around the door frame and into the kitchen. Lucy stared for a second, than squeaked and pulled back, pressing herself against the wall. Laxus crossed his arms and sighed.

"Alright," Lucy whispered to herself, still comically pressed against the wall, "Here's the plan-"

Laxus raised his eyebrow, "What are you even doing?"

"Don't talk so loud!" Lucy whisper shouted, "I'm going to take one of the containers of cookies."

"Are you suicidal?" Laxus asked, the other eyebrow climbing its way up to his hair-line.

"No..." Lucy mumbled.

"Then why the hell are you doing this?" Laxus asked.

Lucy fiddled sheepishly with the hem of her skirt, "Well..."

"Yeah?" Laxus tapped his foot impatiently.

"Well I kicked Natsu out of my house this morning and he hit his head on the sidewalk after I pushed him out the window, so I promised him some of Mira's cookies to make up for it, but when I asked Mira for some cookies, she said that she was saving them for the meeting with Lamia Scale, but I promised Natsu, so I have to get the cookies," She explained, gesturing wildly.

"Why can't you just make Natsu cookies yourself?" Laxus suggested, "Or not get him anything at all. He deserved that."

Lucy stared at him like he'd stabbed her mother, "I can't do that! I PROMISED him Mira's cookies!"

"So what?" Laxus crossed his arms.

"I PROMISED," She stressed, "A celestial spirit mage never breaks her promises!"

Laxus rolled his eyes, "Whatever."

Lucy turned around to face the inside of the kitchen once again. She stood silently and shock still, almost radiating impatience. She jumped a little.

"Yes..." She hissed.

Laxus raised his eyebrow at the anticipatory air around her. Lucy crept around the door-frame, hunching over and whipping her head side to side and ducked into the kitchen. She hit the tile floor of the guild's kitchen and somersaulted over to the counter where the container's of cookies were stashed. She snatched one of the top of the stack and somersaulted back out, the cookie container clutched close to her body.

"The operation was a success," Lucy whispered, "Quickly-"

Mira's voice floated out of the kitchen, "Where did those cookies go?"

"Crap!" Lucy hissed.

"Is there someone in the hallway?" Mira's voice took on a dangerous tone.

Wide-eyed, Lucy looked at Laxus. The panic was clear on her face, and she clutched the cookies to her stomach like a life line. Laxus felt a surge of pity and fear. Mira was someone not to be trifled with, and Lucy's offense would not be easily forgotten.

More likely than not, Laxus would be collateral.

The click of Mira's heels as she came closer held them paralyzed. Lucy and Laxus shared a look of panic as the steps became louder and louder, clacking menacingly against the floor. Laxus caught the first glimpse of Mira's silver hair as she rounded the corner.

He made his decision in a split second.

Acting quickly, Laxus pulled Lucy against him, the cookie container sandwiched in between their stomachs. Lucy looked up at him, eyes wide with confusion. He whirled around, pinning her between him and the wall. He ducked down and pressed his lips to hers.

She gasped against his mouth, and he pressed a bit harder against her lips. Her hands traveled up to rest on his chest, folded close in between their bodies. Lucy returned the pressure of the kiss, standing on her tip-toes to reach him better.

Laxus heard a thud as a body, presumably Mira's, hit the floor.

Breathless and reluctant, he pulled away, freeing Lucy from the embrace. The container of cookies clattered to the floor. Lucy pressed her fingers to her lips, looking up at him with a blush on her face.

"That was my first kiss," She gasped, doe-eyed.

Laxus fought down both the smile and the blush that attempted to rise.

"You can thank me later," He turned around, letting the smile onto his face, "Enjoy your cookies."

He walked down the hallway, leaving Lucy breathless and Mira passed out from shock on the floor.

A/N: So this was in honor of LaLu week, which I missed TT^TT, but oh well. We've got our first real kiss in this story! Whoo!

(I feel like crying because of the manga right now. I made this to cheer myself up, partially, tbh)

Anyways, requests are welcome (needed, actually, please help), and constructive criticism is great. Don't worry, you're not hurting my feelings.
