Miraxus is underrated, Miraxus is underrated, Miraxus is underrated. Also, Laxus is an absolute GOD of a boyfriend. That's all I have to say.

Relaxation

Disclaimer: contains heavy lemon, folks. If you're not down for that stuff then just don't read it.

There were several precepts Mirajane Strauss abided by that she considered absolute. She lived an excellent life, and all credit could be given to the unofficial list of rules that were always in the back of her mind. One such guideline was to greet every person with a smiling face and hospitality. Another was to treat her superiors with utmost respect. A third was to remain calm and mature in the most chaotic of situations.

Well, that last one proved difficult, especially around her guildmates. Mira loved her adopted family, she really did. However, not even she could deny that they were a rowdy and sometimes obnoxious bunch of adults who were little more than children on the inside. Sometimes even the more mature ones like Erza and Laxus could get completely out of control. It seemed like Natsu and Gray were tearing up some part of the guild hall every single day. It wouldn't be such a sore spot for Mira if they just cleaned up after themselves, instead of leaving and letting her 'magically' fix the havoc they'd wreaked. All Mira wanted was just a day where she could work her job at the guild hall bar without getting distracted by someone doing things they weren't supposed to. She didn't think it was too much to ask.

A giant crash snapped Mira out of her thoughts, her eyes sweeping around the guild hall to find the source of the noise. Her gaze stopped at Gray and Natsu, who had gotten into yet another fight and created a large hole in the side of the building. Probably over something ridiculously stupid, again. Mira shook her head as she heard Erza's powerful voice boom over the rest of the guild's chatter.

"Natsu! Gray! Stop this instant or face my wrath." Mira silently laughed at Natsu and Gray, who straightened up right away and started apologizing, still making angry eyes at one another. Mirajane signaled to Kinana to watch over the bar and went into the storage room of the guild hall, where they kept all their extra materials for patching up the walls. Because they got broken so regularly, Mira often wondered if it would be best to have no walls at all, if only to keep her from doing the rebuilding all by herself. It would be even better if the rest of the guild helped her out a bit. Often, Erza would offer her help. Mira gathered the supplies she needed and stepped out into the main hall. A voice called out to her.

"Hey Mirajane! I need your help for a minute." It was the Master, who was standing just outside of his office. He beckoned her over with one hand and stepped into the smaller room. Mira let out a sigh, put her supplies down and started to make her way to the other side of the building when she was tapped on the shoulder by Erza. Natsu and Gray stood behind her, whispering to each other furiously.

"If you wanted some help fixing that hole," Erza said, jerking her head at Natsu and Gray. "These two would be happy to help. Right Natsu, Gray?"

"Of course, Erza." The two boys answered in unison.

"Thanks guys. I'd appreciate that a lot," Mira laughed. "I'll be back in a few minutes to check up on you." She winked at Erza, a symbol of silent gratitude. Mira kept walking through the busy guildhall until she finally reached the tiny office where the Master dealt with official guild business. When she stepped inside, the Master sat at his desk with a grim look on his face. In front of him laid a massive stack of paperwork. Makarov just shrugged when Mira's mouth dropped open.

"How could there be this much!? I swear I finished the last bit of it almost a week ago!" She exclaimed.

"You did. These are just from this week, but they need to be completed by tomorrow night or we're in trouble," Makarov explained sheepishly. "I'm sorry I didn't mention it sooner. Can you deal with them? You don't have to do any work at the bar tomorrow." Mira looked Makarov right in the eyes, ready to explode in anger. That won't help anything, I'll be working my ass off either way! I can't believe Fairy Tail has this many damage claims from just this week! I deserve a serious raise for the trouble this guild puts me through. She breathed a heavy sigh. Calm down Mira. Just do the work, you'll have a relaxing night after it's done. It'll be worth it.

"Of course, Master. It won't take me too long anyway. I need to get back, is that all you wanted to talk about?"

"Yes. You're the best, Mirajane. I don't know what this guild would do without you." The Master replied, waving at Mira as she walked out the door and went back to the bar to finish for the evening.

…

At around midnight, the rowdiest members of the guild started to retire, leaving Mirajane to lock up for the night. After she made sure the doors of the hall were tightly secured, she followed the dimly lit path to Fairy Hills, the girls dormitories. Her room was on the second floor and was furnished quite simply; a bed, a couch, and a chair along with a half kitchen. It was never put to much use because Mira always ended up eating with her friends at the guild hall, but it was useful to have, nonetheless. I'll make myself a nice cup of tea before I go to bed, that way I'll sleep better and have more energy tomorrow. Mira rounded the corner and went to unlock her door, discovering that it was unlocked already. Already knowing who was waiting for her inside, she stepped into the room without reservation.

It was dark, with only the small lamp on her nightstand giving light to the room. The door shut behind her, and as Mira had suspected, she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her from behind. Leaning into the seemingly endless warmth and comfort, she sighed as he buried his head into her neck. Her boyfriend was wearing her favourite cologne.

"Hey babe," Laxus whispered into her ear. "How was your day? I missed you." He started to pepper her neck with light kisses.

"It was alright, but rather exhausting. What about you?" Mira replied as Laxus turned her around and kissed her passionately, his tongue pushing passed her lips to tease her own.

"It was alright," he said against her mouth. "I'm definitely glad it's over."

He moved his mouth away from hers and attached his lips onto her neck, sucking and nipping at her skin while his hands moved from her hips downward, cupping her ass with a light squeeze. Mira sighed as his mouth found the sweet spot where her neck met her shoulder, pressing hot, open mouthed kisses to it. Laxus didn't even look up as he hooked his hands under her legs, lifting her up.

"How about we get a bit more comfortable?" He asked seductively, walking them towards the bed, tossing her down on it. He removed his shirt and Mira admired his chiseled chest and abs while he worked on his belt buckle. Laxus stepped out of his pants, leaving him clad in only his black boxers as he got on the bed and crawled towards Mira. His intentions, though unspoken, were clear in his lust-filled and mischievous gaze. Their lips met once more as his hands found the hem of her shirt and began to toy with it.

Mira then remembered her plans to make tea and go straight to bed. As much as she loved spending time alone with Laxus, she needed to get some sleep to prepare for her busy day tomorrow.

"Laxus-" she started. He pulled away, interrupting her sentence.

"You are wearing entirely too many clothes right now." Laxus pulled her shirt over her head, lips going straight to the new area of skin exposed to him. Mira grabbed the sides of his face gently and looked down right into his eyes. He gave her a questioning look.

"I never got to tell you about my day. Your grandfather called me into his office-"

"You want to talk about this right now?" Laxus grumbled, releasing his hold on her body, and rolled onto his back. He was obviously disappointed at the interruption but didn't make another attempt on her.

"I'm sorry. I want more than anything to spend this time with you, but I have a really busy day planned tomorrow and there's no way I can do what I need to get done if I don't get the proper amount of sleep. Your grandfather has decided to pile a massive amount of work on top of me, again." Mira explained. Laxus shook his head.

"You put up with too much of the old man's shit, Mira. One day you just need to tell him no. It's not good for a person to be under this much stress all the time," he said, voice laced with concern. "If it helps, I've been trying to be more careful about the damage my team and I cause while we're on missions because I know you have to deal with the paperwork." Mira's heart filled with love for her boyfriend. He was so caring and always worried about her well-being.

"Thank you, Laxus. You have no idea how much I appreciate it." she replied, leaning back against the pillows on her bed. Laxus got up and stepped into her small bathroom on the other side of the room.

"You should definitely get some sleep, babe. Sorry for distracting you." She heard him say, his voice rising over the sound of the sink. Mira took this time to roll off her bed and walked over to her closet to put on her favourite pair of soft blue pajamas. Once fully dressed again, she made her way over to the half kitchen and put the kettle on the stove to boil. She heard the squeak of the faucet as it turned off and Laxus sauntered back out towards her. He stopped at where his clothes lay discarded on the carpeted floor, reaching down to grab his shirt and put it back on, followed by his pants. He attempted to walk to her door, but Mira grabbed the back of his hand.

"You don't have to leave, Laxus… Stay with me?" She asked, pulling him into a soft, fuzzy embrace.

"I think I can do that." He sighed, giving into the warmth of her as their bodies pressed together. The tea kettle started to whistle and Laxus went back to her bed and watched her skillfully pour the boiling water into her teacup, courtesy of her amazing bartending talents. She placed it on her nightstand, made sure to take her pill, and cuddled up into Laxus' warmth while burying herself between the many blankets on her bed, eventually falling asleep.

Laxus awoke to find Mirajane's side of the bed cold, despite all the heavy blankets. He rose from his cocoon and noticed a note from her on the nightstand.

Wanted to get an early start at the guild. I'll see you after I'm done tonight. Love you so much.

-Mirajane

…

Mira sat at the Master's desk from the early morning until the sun was setting over Kardia Cathedral, making Magnolia glow in brilliant shades of pink and orange. She was exhausted, and her body felt like a solid block of steel as she the walked up to Fairy Hills. Mirajane made her way through the front doors, and through the main hallway. Turning around the corner to her room, she saw Evergreen slipping out and closing the door behind her. Curious, Mirajane called out to her.

"Hey Evergreen, is everything alright?" Evergreen quickly turned around, clearly startled. Her expression turned sheepish, eyes never leaving the ground as she spoke.

"Hi Mira… uhm I was just over here looking for Laxus, I know he spends a lot of time here and I figured he'd be with you. But it seems like he's nowhere to be found, have a good night!" Evergreen called behind her shoulder as she briskly walked back to her room down the hall and shut the door. That was strange, she knows Laxus wouldn't be here without me, doesn't she? And what could she possibly want from him at this hour? Letting out a small chuckle and brushing off the awkwardness of the scene that had just unfolded, Mira stepped into her room. What she saw, she never would have expected.

There were candles everywhere, all scented with her favourite lavender vanilla scent. In the middle of the room where her furniture usually would be was a standard size table covered in blankets and padding with a little head pillow at the end of it and a small table beside it. On her kitchen counter were several small bottles lined up in a row. As Mira walked closer to the massage table, she observed a small note, exactly like the one she had written earlier that day.

Undress, and lay down on the table face down. Please make sure you're comfortable. I'll know when you're ready.

-LD

Mira couldn't deny that she was extremely excited for what was about to happen. She reached down to pull the hem of her signature red dress up and over her head. After undoing the clasp on her lacy white bra and pulling her underwear down, she folded her clothes in a neat pile and climbed onto the table, laying face down as instructed. She adjusted the setting on the head rest so that her neck wouldn't get cramped and started to feel goose bumps arise on her skin due to the crisp air. Mira attempted to reach out and pull up the blankets behind her to get warm again but ended up flopping around helplessly on the table because she couldn't quite grasp them. She heard a small chuckle behind her.

"That's supposed to be my job, you know."

Laxus' voice was laced with amusement as he pushed away from the wall he was leaning against outside her bathroom. Making his way over to the table, he gently moved her arms to her sides and pulled the soft blankets over her body. Mira was already starting to relax as she felt warmth and wash over her. She heard bottles clinking beside her, and a sweet scent filled the room as he brought the supplies he needed to the small table space beside her. There was a click of a remote as soft light wave meditation music interrupted the silence of the room.

Mira was so comfortable she could have fallen asleep if not for the anticipation. Gooseflesh covered her shoulders and upper back as she felt the blankets being folded over her lower body. Mira could smell the almond massage oil Laxus was using as he rubbed his hands together. Laxus ran his hands over her upper back muscles, using his thumbs to knead the knots that had formed underneath her soft skin.

Taking a moment to fold the blankets down more, Laxus groaned internally at the sight of her naked backside before him, the amazing curve of her ass just beginning to show. He wanted to take things as slow as possible, but it was harder than he had imagined. Laxus almost lost control of himself when Mirajane let out the most delicious moan as he continued to work his thumbs into her lower back, lathering the vanilla scented oil everywhere as he went. Laxus couldn't help but smirk, loving the way her body was starting to respond to his touch.

"I take it that feels good?" Laxus chuckled as his thumbs brushed over a tense spot and pressed down in slow circles.

"Yes," Mira's voice was a bit muffled as her face was in the head pillow. "It hurts a little, but not too bad. This is what good pain should feel like." A loud sigh of contentment left her lips.

Laxus let out another chuckle, sometimes his girlfriend said the strangest things. Not that he minded when her body was practically begging for more attention. He continued to slide his hands up and down her back until he was sure all the tension and knots had been taken care of. Moving his hands away from her skin, he lathered oil over her arms and hands next. Mira's body arched into his big hands as they massaged her wrists, palms, and fingers. Those low moans and sighs kept spilling out of her mouth, pleasing Laxus to no end. He decided to take things up a notch, given how much Mira seemed to be enjoying herself. Grabbing the edge of the blankets still covering her lower body, Laxus moved them towards her upper body, exposing her lower body to the cool air. He wanted to relieve her of all the tension built up in her body before the fun part started.

Laxus went for her legs and feet. Using more oil than was necessary, he relieved the tension in her calf muscles and hamstrings, being sure to cover every inch of them. Knowing Mira's feet were ticklish, he tried to be as careful as possible but as his fingers ghosted over her arches lightly she jerked and let out a laugh.

"Laxus," She giggled through the head pillow. "You know how ticklish I am!" This brought out the more teasing side of Laxus as he "accidentally" tickled her feet.

Giving her a break from her laughter and deciding to get serious, one of Laxus' hands travelled upwards to the blankets covering Mira's upper half and pulled them off her. Reaching the other hand to one side of her torso, he flipped her body over. Even with all the candles in the room, Mira still shivered as the cool air hit her chest. For the first time that night, she took in the incredible body of muscle that was Laxus. He was clad in only a pair of black boxers, which did little to hide his arousal. Mira knew exactly what that body was capable of and thinking about all the possibilities sent shivers down her spine and waves of heat directly to her core. Laxus interrupted her thoughts with a chuckle.

"Like what you see?" He asked, his eyes hungrily raking down her front. He wanted nothing more than to taste her soft skin and feel her body arch up into his touch again, but Laxus had planned this night perfectly and didn't plan on going any faster than he needed to.

"I mean, who wouldn't? You're gorgeous." Mira replied, "I'm lucky I get to have you all to myself." She looked up at Laxus, starting to sit up, her brilliant blue eyes sparkling with a mischievous glint, conveying everything she wanted, no, needed him to do to her. Laxus pounced.

"Ah ah ah, I'm not quite done yet." He clicked his tongue.

He grabbed her shoulders and gently pressed her back down onto the blanket covered table. Taking another deep breath and reminding himself to go slow, he raised the oil bottle over her body and let it drip down onto her chest and stomach. As her body temperature had started to rise, the oil was much colder on her skin than expected, leaving shivers in its wake.

Using slow caresses, Laxus began to rub the oil into her skin. His hands first found her breasts, squeezing with just the right amount of pressure as his thumbs skimmed over her nipples, massaging the skin all over. Mira was arching her back again and pressing herself into his touch, just as Laxus had anticipated. She let out another low sound as his thumbs kept circling her rosy buds, which had peaked due to both the cold and the incredible arousal she was feeling.

Moving downwards to her stomach, Laxus lightly touched the skin on her sides and lower torso, still aware that she was incredibly ticklish. However, no amount of sensation could tear Mira away from his actions, especially when his hands were getting so close to the place she needed him most. Spreading the oil from her stomach to her thighs, Laxus continued to caress her skin and work out the incredible amounts of tension he found. She let out small sounds that were mixed with the initial pain and then the pleasurable release of the tension.

Mira had had enough of the teasing touches. She knew that Laxus could smell her arousal, and that he knew she was aching for release. Even though it went against his instructions, Mira reached out and grabbed his hand, staring him directly in his storm-gray eyes.

"Please…" Mira said so quietly that even Laxus struggled to hear her. "Please, Laxus, I need you to touch me."

"Your wish is my command babe. How could I say no to that?" Laxus replied, smiling. He leaned down to give her a kiss as his fingers finally made their way to her womanhood. Mira moaned into his mouth, inching closer to release by the second. Her body arched into his touch, craving more of the delicious pleasure she was getting as his hand dipped into her folds, feeling just how wet she had gotten.

Laxus was enjoying himself, despite not even being touched. He loved to hear the moans and whimpers Mira produced when he pleasured her, especially when his thumb teasingly brushed against that magical little button at the apex of her womanhood. Laxus eased two fingers inside of her with gentle pumping motions, being sure to create just the right angle, and moved his lips down to her neck, searching for that sweet spot. He could tell exactly when he found it, as Mira let out another delicious sound. Laxus lips continued to move downwards to her breasts, nipples still hard from a combination of cold air and arousal. He gently teased the left bud with his tongue and teeth, nipping and sucking gently, being careful not to leave any marks on her porcelain skin. Laxus gave her right breast the same treatment, not wanting to leave a single inch of Mira's skin untouched as his fingers continued to bring her to places only he could. Mira let out a whimper, louder than normal, so Laxus immediately brought his head up, searching for any signs of panic. Her eyes were glazed over with need.

"Laxus, please. I can't take it anymore."

His careful control was thrown right out the window thanks to those words.

Laxus hooked his arm under Mira's legs, used the other to bring her upper half close to his chest, and carried her bridal style over to her enormous bed. He gently placed her down on it, hastily removing the rest of his clothing and moved her so that her head rested on a pillow at the headboard and her body was spread open for him.

Cutting right to the chase, Laxus crawled to where her legs were and spread himself out below her. Mira could feel his hot breath fanning over her thighs as he kissed each of them briefly before attaching his mouth to the place she needed him most. Laxus' tongue darted out and flicked her clit frantically, moving his fingers, three this time, back to their previous position pumping in and out of her. Mira's back arched with pleasure as she squirmed away on the bed, Laxus having to push her thighs apart to keep her from clamping down on his face.

Mira was so close; she could feel the coil in her stomach getting tighter and tighter the longer Laxus spent between her legs. Between the work of his fingers hitting her G-Spot and his tongue working miracles on her clit, Mira was seeing stars.

"Laxus I'm-" Before she could give him a proper warning, waves of white hot pleasure spasmed through her body. Laxus stayed between her legs until her body stopped shaking from the intense pleasure of her orgasm, then moved out from under her, looking down into her deep blue eyes. Mira was still for a moment, still recovering, giving Laxus another short period of time to appreciate just how beautiful she was.

"What're you staring at?" Mira's teasing voice snapped Laxus out of his thoughts.

"Oh nothing, just wondering how a bastard like me ended up with the most beautiful woman in the world." Mira's face flushed at his words. "Oh, and planning how I intend to finish what I started… if that's alright with you."

"Are you sure you don't want me to repay the favour first?" Mira asked quickly, sitting up from her position on the bed.

"Babe, this night is all about you. I'm fine. Plus, I think what happens next is sure to leave us both satisfied." Laxus smirked, laid Mirajane back down and got in between her legs once more. He rubbed himself against her and reveled in the warm, wet feel of her juices coating him, letting out a soft sound.

Not once breaking eye contact with Mira, Laxus began to slowly inch himself inside of her. He wasn't a small man by any means, so going slow was necessary, even after he had prepared her well with his tongue and fingers. As Laxus finally became seated fully inside of her, he checked for signs of discomfort on her face but saw only need and pleasure in her eyes. Mira gave a slight nod, as if to confirm the silent question Laxus had asked. Then, he began to move.

His thrusts were deep and purposeful, each one carrying intentions of ecstasy. Laxus lifted Mira's legs upwards so he could have a better angle to continue burying himself inside repeatedly. When Laxus looked down at Mira, her face was contorted in pleasure from his rocking motions. She had both hands on her breasts, twisting and pinching her nipples as Laxus continued to hit that special spot with the intention of sending her into a state of pure, unadulterated bliss. Mira's right hand snaked downwards to thumb her clit, attempting to deepen her pleasure, when Laxus removed her hand and started rubbing her with his own. He was determined to make this night as effortless for Mira as possible, wanting her to just lie there and soak up everything he had to give.

Laxus let go of Mira's legs, bending down and catching her lips in a deep and passionate kiss. They were both so close to tipping over the edge of pleasure. It would only take a few more thrusts for Laxus, and he was so furiously rubbing her clit that he was sure it would not be long for Mira either. All control was lost when Mira came hard around his cock, her walls squeezing Laxus so impossibly tight that he saw stars soon after.

Laxus pulled out of Mira after a minute of catching his breath. He got off the bed and went to get a towel to clean her up with from her bathroom, putting out the candles in the room as he went. He returned to the bed and found her fast asleep. Laxus knew Mira had medication to take before she went to bed, so he placed gentle kisses on her forehead to wake her and rose from the bed to get it out of her dresser drawer.

After Mira had taken her pills, still in a groggy state of half-sleep, Laxus cleaned her up with the towel he had gotten and collapsed onto the bed beside her, turning out the lamp beside her bed and pulling the many layers of blankets over them both. Slowly but surely, the two lovers drifted off into a deep sleep.
