*Lisanna's p.o.v*
"Hey Bix, how do you think it's going between those two?" I asked pointing towards the kitchen, where Jellal and Erza had disappeared into some time ago. I was intrigued as it had been well over 45 minutes since I'd asked them if they'd found the cake. I never heard if they had or not so I knew Freed's silencing of the place truly worked
"Considering how long they've been gone, either really well or horrendously bad depending," He replied also looking at the double doors that lead to the trap we had set for our two nakama.
"So what you mean is wait and see, don't you?" I sighed in irritation. I hated waiting to see the results that my genius plans produced.
"Yep," He laughed placing one of his arms around my waist. "You know me so well baby." He whispered nuzzling into the side of my neck with his nose (he seemed to live there theses days). I closed my eyes enjoying the shiver of excitement his action sent through my entire body.
"Oi watch what you do with my sister, you pervert! As a man I can not allow this!" Elf-niichan boomed as he stormed over to where we were stood. I snapped my eyes open and glared at my older, moment ruining, brother.
"Can I kill him?" I muttered under my breath causing Bixlow to snicker. I continued to glare at Elfman as he finally loomed over us, doing his best attempt at being intimidating...it wasn't working.
"What gives you the right to treat me like a child? I'm 17...wait no I'm 24 years old!" I yelled my face flushing with anger.
"As a man and as your big brother, that is my right," Elfman exclaimed puffing his chest out like a gorilla. This made me want to explode in a furious rage, even though I loved my brother dearly there were times when he drove me insane, and this was definitely one of those times.
"This has nothing to do with protecting me, it has everything to do with the fact that you can't stand me being lovey dovey with a guy when you are single. You're jealous!" I hissed, feeling Bixlow's arm tighten around my waist as if to hold me back from attacking. What did he think I was going to do, rip the man's throat out?
"Th-that..has nothing to do with it." Elf-niichan stammered looking away from me. Looks like I'd just hit the nail on the head.
"Yes it does," I proclaimed pointing my finger at him. "You're jealous of Mira-nee and me for finding boyfriends before you gained a girlfriend!"
"It's not like that Lisanna, I swear," Elf-nii defended himself, all traces of his tough man act gone.
"Then what's it like?" Bixlow asked, finally stepping into the frame.
"Maybe I am a little jealous," Elfman sighed. "But the main reason is I just don't want to see my little sister get hurt." Elfman said regaining some of his earlier conviction.
"Elf-niichan," I started to say before getting interrupted by Bixlow squeezing my waist , making me look up into his face, the look in his eyes made me stop and hand the reins over to him, metaphorically of course.
"What makes you think I'll hurt Lisanna?" He asked looking Elfman straight in the eyes. I'd never seen Bixlow look so serious before, it is a seriously hot sight to behold.
"Well you're a pervert for starters, you always check other women out, and it's only a matter or time until you cheat on her," Elfman listed holding up two fingers as he answered Bixlow's question. Come to think of it Bixlow hadn't really looked at another girl since we'd made us official (I also hadn't seen him checking out any of the other girls here tonight either) that meant my earlier worries about him oogling other girls was mute. I also didn't peg Bixlow as the cheating type but that's due to the fact that; one I'm biased in this situation and two I'd known the guy for years.
"It's true I'm a pervert with...YOUR sister," Bixlow laughed egging Elf on. Well there went the serious mood jeez I really wanted to facepalm at this statement but resisted.
"Why you...as a man that is unacceptable," Elf yelled, stepping towards us obviously angrier than he had been before.
"But," Bixlow continued the serious mood returning. "I would never ever cheat on any woman and especially not on this woman right here, she means the world to me, understand?" Bixlow stated his tone leaving no room for argument or doubt. I honestly didn't know what to say or do, his words had left me speechless, shocked and deeply touched.
"How can you say that after only dating for, what a month?" Elfman challenged, looking as startled as I felt about Bix's confession. I knew he's had a crush on me for a while before all this happened but wasn't it the girl who was supposed to do the declaration of feelings first not the guy?
"Because I've wanted to make her mine for a while now," Bixlow said blushing slightly as his eyes drifted to look down at me for a second as he finished his sentence. I smiled back up at him, letting him know it was okay to tell his true feelings to my brother.
"What?" Elfman yelled in disbelief. I turned around to fully face my man with a loving expression on my face.
"So you really meant it before that you've been interested in me for a while?" I asked. I knew in my heart it had been true when we had our heart to heart all those weeks ago, but sometimes a girl just liked to be reminded.
"Lisanna," He started his replied lowering his hands to rest on my shoulders and hold me so that we were directly facing one another. Our eyes meet and this time I allowed myself to get lost in the depths of them and the emotions I found there shocked me and awed me; love, pride and desire (who knew he was such a complex and sweet guy?) "Would I lie to you?"
"No," I answered immediately knowing that not one word we'd ever spoken to each other had been a lie, so why would he start now? His typical manic tongue lolling grin broke out across his face at my answer and he pulled me into a tender yet firm embrace. The world around us seemed to disappear and nothing but his arms kept me in the here and now. I don't know how long we stayed in our position, and truly I didn't care. As long as I could stay like this forever I would be a happy girl.
"Never leave me," Bixlow whispered into my ear his warm breath causing warm jolts of fire to go racing throughout my entire body (making me wonder again why he only ever made me feel like this when we were in public?). His words, apart from the warm jolts, made me feel nothing but love for him...love? Was I falling in love?...I could freak out later about this epiphany. I for one was not a moment ruiner like my brother, and this moment was no way in hell going to get ruined by me or anybody else!
"Only if you never leave me," I whispered back my hands circling around his torso and bunching up in the back of his shirt. As the last word passed my lips I felt Bixlow raise his head from on top of mine and before I could process any other movement he could make, his mouth crashed down over my own, in the hottest most passion filled kiss I'd ever received in my life.
*Evergreens p.o.v*
How on Earthland had that behemoth done it? Bixlow never told his feelings to anyone other than Myself, Laxus and Freed. And here I was, along with Laxus, watching our long term friend and teammate openly admit his feelings not only to his girlfriend, but to her muscle brained idiot of a brother as well!
"Are you seeing this?" I whisper yelled at Laxus, who was failing at his usual show of lack of interest.
"Yeah I see," He grumbled from behind me.
"She's so lucky," I sighed, more to myself than Laxus, as I watched Bixlow and Lisanna make eye contact and loose themselves in their own little world.
"But aren't you and Elfman together?" Laxus asked making me jump and swing around to face him.
"We are not together!" I hissed, not really believing my response to that question anymore. We gave all the signs of being together but I guess we'd never asked each other about our feelings or anything, and we'd also become so used to denying it that it had become second nature to us by now.
"Hmmm," Laxus sighed obviously believing my words as much as I did...well hell what did it matter anymore anyway? "Well don't leave it or deny it forever Ever, or else you'll end up like Natsu over there," He said pointed to where the pinkette was sat drinking while talking to Wendy as he watched Lucy and Sting dance together ( I couldn't feel sorry for Natsu but I did feel sorry for Lucy after all that had happened between them.) I gulped taking in that scene, I did not want to have that happen to me!
"Fine," I sighed in defeat turning back to see Elfman about to pull Lisanna away from Bixlow's arms. "Oh my god, Laxus stop him!" I shrieked pointing towards the caveman I'd only seconds ago being considering making my man. Laxus's reply to my demand was him striding over to the three mages in a couple of paces, grabbing Elfman by the collar and hauling him towards the stairs that lead to the upper level. He stopped as he was about to take the first step, turned back to face me and signaled for me to follow. I did, not really needing the invitation, because that buffon needed a good fan smack to the back of his thick skull and a stern lecture in how to behave around your younger sister's boyfriend!
After climbing the stairs and following the two guys into Laxus's office, where my teammate dumped the struggling Elfman onto a sofa then stalked back out of the room slamming the door behind him...huh what just happened?
"Laxus you jerk!" I yelled dashing over to grabbed the door handle, after it dawned on me what he'd done, and got zapped back onto my ass as an electrical current ran threw my arm when I'd touched the door handle. I heard him chuckle on the other side of the door. When I got out of here that man better run for his bloody life, because not even Freed will be able to stop me from turning him to stone! And I will never turn him back. You hear me Laxus you'll be stone for the rest of eternity for this stunt you hear me! I mentally screamed through the door.
"Natsu and Lucy," Laxus called through the door to me as if he'd heard my mental cursing and threat. "Natsu and Lucy." With that I heard him walk away from the door so I tried once more to open it...it was still charged so I failed!
"I better get this over with I guess," I sighed resting my head on the door before collecting my composure. I turned around to face the highly bewildered Elfman who was rearranging himself into a sitting position on the rather expensive leather couch. I took a deep breath and collected my thoughts on what I was going to say to him. Alright here goes nothing.
