A/N: First of all, hello to anyone reading this story at the moment. I know it has been ages since I last updated any of my other stories, especially Troublesome Complications, but honestly it feels like hell broke loose on me. I had 3 chapters ready for that on my laptop and then I could not log into my account for a good 8 months. And if this was not enough, my laptop broke up next and I'm still trying how to restructure its chapter because I cannot seem to remember my original ideas within those. Excuses apart, I am a TERRIBLE human being and I hope you guys can forgive

Recently, I caught up with Fairy Tail again and I think I watched the entire last season of it in around 4 days. Throughout the series and from day 1 to be exact, I always shipped the pairing of Mirajane and Laxus (Miraxus). I don't know I think they are so perfect together, appearance and personality wise. Plus, for me they are like semi-canon already to be honest.

I was really keen on the last episode, where in Lucy's narrative, the first rumoured pairing of Laxus was with Mira. Jokes aside, Lucy only went into detail for that one and then mentioned Lisanna and Cana as possible pairings, too. For me it is pretty clear that the discussion on Miraxus lasted relatively more than any other regarding Laxus' personal life. Namely:

"Laxus and Mira? Nope, I don't think so, but there was a rumour about them at one point! ...He has too many girl rumors."

Continuing from that point onwards, I decided to write a story about them. It's the first time I write a fanfic on Fairy Tail and Miraxus too, so please be gentle. For the time being I do not know if it will be a one-shot, will decide according to my inspiration. Rated T for language just to be safe (again, for the time being).

WARNING! MASSIVE SPOILERS

Thaaaat's all. Enjoy and sorry for the long A/N.

Leave it up to Fairy Tail to turn any social gathering into a head-on loud bar brawl. Although it was Lucy's big day and she specifically asked everyone to behave for the occasion, the result was all the same. Her adorable, but loud guildmates were wrecking havoc all around, while she was being awarded for her recent novel. Of course, she was fuming, but deep down she could not get angry with them in the slightest, especially since that night sparked the 1-year anniversary of their success against Alvarez, Zeref and Acnologia.

All that seemed so long ago now. The members of Fairy Tail were just glad to have their home and family back and be able to enjoy these moments with one another. Everyone was there to support Lucy in her big moment and they could not be happier. Around the reception area, you could see multiple Fairy Tail wizards in different groups. Most of the groups changed as quickly as they were formed.

However, at a table at the far end of the reception hall, it seemed that two of Fairy Tail's strongest had relaxed into each other's company. The pair of S-Class mages was no other than the Lightning Dragon Slayer and the Demon. They were casually having a conversation, while sipping on their cocktails.

"Ichiya asked us to visit again sometime" said Mirajane casually, while turning to address her company.

"Get real" Laxus replied, hardly amused. Something about having to spend time with Blue Pegasus' master Ichiya sent shivers down his spine, and not in the good way. He had his chin in his palm and he appeared indifferent. He did not want to be rude to Mira of course, but he tried not to attract any attention on them.

He casted his eyes upon her. She was very beautiful that evening. He noticed that she had her hair up in a ponytail, something he had not seen for quite some time now. Of course, when she was younger and they were both teenagers, Mira would always have her hair tied up, to add to her aggressive bad-girl attitude of that time. Now, although her hairstyle was similar to that one, the quality of her whole essence was different. She was dressed up in white and she appeared like an angel before his eyes. Laxus did not miss the irony there. Her blue orbs were shining brightly as they looked at each other and her silver hair gleamed under the moonlight.

He also noticed the faint blush forming on her cheeks. He did not know whether this blush could be attributed to the fair share of cocktails they already had or to something else entirely. Enjoying the image before him, he slightly grinned and raised his glass into the air. Mirajane met his glass with their own and they looked deeply into each other's eyes, although fleetingly.

Mirajane smiled at him. She could not deny, Laxus looked very handsome tonight. His suit fit him perfectly, toning his muscular body, but without it being too much. The demon was amused that he of all people decided to wear a tie. For as long as she could remember, this might be the first time she saw him with one on.

She let her eyes wander around for a bit and she became aware that she and Laxus were being ogled at by various people. The first one being Laxus' right-hand man, Freed. Mira always had a gut that the green-haired rune mage was actually into Laxus, but then again this might have been because of the great respect Freed held for the Lightning mage. Then, there was Bickslow who was also curious by the sight, but slightly grinned over at the couple. The seith mage was just happy to be able to mess with Evergreen and Elfman all day long, with the help of her baby-sister of course. She picked up on Lucy discussing with Cana nearby. The latter revived the rumour of Mira's secret affair with Laxus, but Lucy naturally shrugged the card-mage off, defending Mirajane. Mira could not help, but smile.

She was suddenly brought out of her thoughts as she felt something or rather someone's hand caressing her thigh. She turned to her right to glare at the Laxus. The rumour did not have to be confirmed tonight.

"Laxus, take your hand of my leg before I rip you open" she smiled demonically at him.

Laxus smirked widely at her, amused at Mira's sudden change of mood. "Well, now. I can't help myself. You decided to display your creamy, long legs for everyone to see. I am just taking up on your offer" he laughed quietly, giving her a lustful look. "Besides, I love it when you get all aggressive".

Mira turned to face him completely. Her low-cut dress allowed Laxus to have a clear view of her vulptuous chest, much to his delight. "Oh, Laxus. You haven't seen me aggressive" she smiled 'sweetly' at him, but he could see the lustful spark in her eye. Suddenly, he sensed her dark aura awakening and he could feel her clawed hand on his thigh. "If you do not want to lose what's precious" she whispered while her claws came up dangerously close to his crotch "you will take your hand off me. Now."

Laxus could not help, but grin. But honestly, he got her point. All the gossiping fairies were already going vile on the rumours on his love live, especially the ones concerning Mira. The last thing he wanted was everyone on the guild on his case. He reluctantly removed his hand from Mira and let out a long sigh.

"So close, yet so far away" he turned to her, acting disappointed and hurt.

Mira smiled at him again. "Just be patient for the time being. People are watching us. Especially, Freed". She took another sip of her drink and looked around again. Laxus followed her gaze and she was right. He loved his friends, but he often thought of them as cockroaches. They would find a way to enter his house without warning and look around messing everything up in order to learn more about Laxus, as if they didn't already know most things about him as his best friends. This situation was more of the same. He slightly grunted "Idiots".

A warm, soft, delicate hand topped his under the covers of the table they were sitting at. He closed his eyes and exhaled softly, but only for a second. He couldn't risk alerting his loud comrades. This was Mira's way of telling him 'it's alright, I get your frustation".

He couldn't exactly pinpoint when he started seeing Mirajane differently. Sure, they flirted a lot when they were teenagers and he even had a crush on her, but a lot of time had passed since then. He always thought Mira was gorgeous and they always had a friendly relationship throughout the years he knew her. She was one of the people that saw him for Laxus Dreyar, the man he was, not for the family name he had inherited. There were times he was an asshole to her and anyone else in the guild, but these days were behind them.

After he came back from his exile, he spent a lot of time with Mira, her siblings and the Raijinshou training for the Grand Magic Games. They met with no prior planning and decided to make the most out of it, especially since Mira was the only matchable opponent he could challenge out of both their teams. Apart from training, when the youngest members of their training group would get too rowdy, he and Mira would spend time on their own as well, getting to know each other better. Their connection grew with time and the lightning mage could not shake the feeling that his interaction with Mira made him want to be a better person. Thinking about all this, he zoned out.

Mira noticed his distant look and she understood that he was reminiscing. Her heart was filled with warmth when he saw him genuinely smile. He then turned to her again. "Did I mention you look beautiful tonight? Can't wait to get you back to my place" he smirked.

Mira chuckled. Of course, Laxus had to balance every little bit of his behaviour out with another. If he was too cute, he had to make an ass comment immediately afterwards. But she didn't mind. She liked both sides of Laxus, the grown-up man he had become and the arrogant jerk she met as a child. In her eyes he had developed so much, yet deep down she would always feel that warm feeling on her cheeks when the playful, flirty dickhead surfaced for a bit.

"It's only been an hour since we arrived here from your house" she smiled, but mostly to herself. "Can't get enough of me?" she asked cheekily.

Laxus eyes glinted with lust while he eyed her up. "You know I can't, demon".

Her face formed a little frown while she was contemplating the situation. She put her finger on her chin and pretended to be deep in thought. "Well, it is kind of boring here anyways. Wouldn't hurt to take you up on your earlier offer" she smiled sexily. Then, her expression turned more serious. "So, who will go first?" she inquired.

"You can go. I'll have to spend some time with my team, otherwise they will think you stole my heart, seeing me spending my whole time here with you" he said mockingly.

"Sounds good enough, Dragon" she answered him. She stood up and gave him a goodbye hug. She made her way over to her sister and brother, telling them she would go back to the guild to sort some things out before she went home. Elfman and Lisanna said their goodbyes to their older sister and headed back to the Thunder Legion, with Lisanna and Bickslow resuming their mockery of the 'soon-to-be-married' couple.

Laxus saw her heading of after saying her goodbyes to some other people. He caught himself staring at Mira from behind. He noticed how clingy the sheer fabric was around her ass and how it hugged her perfectly, indicating she was probably not wearing any underwear. He realised Mirajane's white dress was way too sexy and bold and he wondered just maybe if she had put it on for him. Smiling at the thought, he also made his way up and away from the table. He mingled with some of his fellow mages and his grandpa for a bit and then decided to head home on his own, despite Freed's complaints.

As he exited the reception hall, he turned into lightning to reach his apartment faster. He could not wait to get his hands on his demon.

Please, please, please share your thoughts with me. It's been a long time and I really want to improve my writing. Hope you enjoyed.
