Finally updated! I'm glad you guys think they're in character :D I hope ur enjoying the story


Lax!: what are u talking about

Oh? He's going to play like he doesn't know? That's fine.

Woman: he's wearing your shirt!

Lax!: yeah

Mira is quickly reminded of why she hates texting Laxus. His responses are so plain and she can't get a read on him. While it was the same when talking face to face at least she could look at him and have an idea of what he was feeling.

Lax!: y do u care

Woman: it's nice that you guys finally settled your differences!

Lax!: we're not doing this

Aw damn, he caught on too fast. She lets out a little huff of laughter. and glances upwards to check if anyone was looking. With the coast clear she continues texting.

Woman: doing what? :)

Lax!: u know what and aren't u in detention stop texting me

Lax!: delinquent

Mirajane rolls her eyes and slips her phone back into her bag because she already knows he's not going to answer to anything else she says.

Thus, she turns back to Lucy and her eyebrows raise in surprise at how much the blonde girl has written down in such a short amount of time. She watches as her hand moves across the paper and how she moves a lock of blonde hair behind her ear without looking up.

Mira smiles widely, feeling strangely inspired by her vigor and hard working spirit. She was such a good student!

With a little nod of determination, she gets her hands back on her phone and pulls up the messenger app once more.

Woman: I have no idea what you're talking about so let's talk after I get out of detention!

She sends an influx of emoji hearts and smiley faces.

When she finally receives a text after a good 20 minutes of waiting she can feel his disdain through the screen.

Lax!: no.

Aw, it was so cute that he still thought that anything he said could stop her from doing what she wanted.

Woman: See you soon bb! I only have 30 minutes left :)

Lax!: fuck off

Woman: 3 I'll grab something to eat while we talk too, okay?

Lax!: k.

-MYOB-

Even though he had his head buried in his arms he could just feel eyes boring into him. No matter how many times he glared in return all he got was a cheeky little smile and she'd look away at her phone for the time being.

Eventually, he rests his chin on his crossed arms, his glare relaxed into a scorn-filled stare. She had taken it as the challenge it was and had been staring back. The more he looked at her the more irritating he found her smile to be. Gajeel lifts his hand slightly, flipping her off. He was two for one. Now all that was left was Elfman, then he'd be able to say flipped off the entire Strauss family.

What he's not expecting is for the oldest sibling to laugh softly before doing it right back. The smile on her face widens until her shoulders are shaking from her silent laughter. He looked so offended!

Mira covers her mouth as a soft snort escapes and she leans down until her forehead is touching the wooden table.

During her laughing fit, she misses the way Lucy glances up from her work looking entirely confused. She looks around and spots Gajeel practically seething in their general direction. She shoots him a slightly nervous grin because while they are friends (and they are no matter what he says!) he looks like he wants to thrash them around... or maybe just Mira.

What's wrong? She mouths, as she carefully sets her pencil down next to her textbook.

If possible he shoots her an even more aggressive look. It takes her a moment until she remembers that Gajeel can't read lips. Lucy frowns slightly and makes what she hopes is an apologetic gesture.

At this point, Gajeel begins to look confused.

Lucy bites her lip, thinking of a way to get him to understand. It takes a few seconds before She perks up and begins writing out the letters in the air.

It takes a few tries before she sees Gajeel mouthing the word 'what' to himself.

She grins and nods before continuing. She uses her pointer finger, drawing out the W with the care of someone trying to recreate the Disney channel logo.

Just as she's drawing the line for the R she hears,

"Care to tell me what exactly it is that you're doing Lucy?"

She flinches slightly, gaze jerking towards the front of the room and meeting Mr. Conbolt's vaguely amused gaze.

"Oh! Uh…" she hurriedly places her hand back in her lap, cheeks warming as everyone's eyes turn to her.

Mira who had finally calmed down sees her flustered expression and promptly bursts into loud giggles.

Lucy sighs, a bizarre mix of embarrassed and fond exasperation as scattered laughter fills the room. In the mix of all that she can distinctly hear Gajeel call her a "dumbass".

Mira leans against her laughter finally subsiding. Her cheeks are a happy pink as Mr. Conbolt shakes his head and dismisses them.

"You kids get outta here! Be careful on your way home and try not to get into any more trouble." He waves them off, and as Lucy packs up her books and papers she frowns disapprovingly as she sees all the suddenly empty chairs placed messily.

They could have at least pushed them in before leaving.

"C'mon Lucy!" The blonde snaps out of her judging as Mira loops their arms together, guiding the way out of the library.

Lucy grins and tries to push in as many chairs as she can as they walk past.

-MYOB-

"What were you doing with the whole-" Mirajane begins mimicking the way Lucy's air writing from before.

"Oh, uh," she laughs a bit "I was trying to see what was wrong with Gajeel. He looked like he wanted to kill us- well, just you, I think." Lucy gives a sheepish smile, glancing at Mira only to see her seemingly looking for someone in the small crowd of students. Lucy looks as well, trying to find that wild black hair but it seems he was in a hurry.

The older girl shoots her a little mischievous smile.

Lucy squints at her, " Mira were you teasing him?"

She blinks her baby blues, just looking oh so innocent," Me? Of course not."

Lucy snorts and Mira breaks character, and laughs softly," Maybe just a little bit." She finally admits.

Before Lucy can say anything more Mira perks up and lifts a hand and waves," Ever! Hi!" The blonde girl allows herself to be pulled along, watching how Evergreen looks over her shoulder.

It looks like the girl is debating whether she should stop or not but it seems like she's feeling kind today as she stops and turns around.

"Hello, you two." She wiggles her fingers, her nails neatly manicured with an expression that says she's indulging them by letting them speak to her.

"Hi Evergreen." Lucy greets politely.

"It's rare seeing you away from your merry band of idiots," Evergreen notes as she adjusts her bag.

"Right back at ya'." The blonde quirks a brow, "What did you do to get detention?"

"I threw a textbook at Bicks."

Mira furrows her brows and Lucy blinks not expecting that to be the reason.

"Evergreen," Mira starts in a scolding manner however she's cut off as Ever lifts a hand in a 'stop' motion.

"If you haven't noticed you were in detention as well. Don't even try to lecture me when you're in the same boat."

Mira pouts and Evergreen rolls her eyes," Anyways, I need to get going. See you two tomorrow, toodles."

"Actually I'm going to tag along with you Ever, I need to talk to Laxus about something."

Evergreen purses her lips before nodding a bit, "Fine. Whatever."

Mira smiles and gives a Lucy a goodbye hug before she hurries along to follow after Evergreen who had already begun walking away.

-MYOB-

As promised the girl stops to grab some food, Evergreen quirking a brow at the amount.

"Well there's you, Freed, and Bickslow too."

Evergreen rolls her eyes." I can pay for my own stuff." She tells her. In fact, she hadn't even asked for anything. She shakes her head, brown locks bouncing with the movement. "I'll help you out just this once." She offers even though Mira hadn't complained about the price once.

The white-haired girl only smiles," Thanks Ever."

-MYOB-

"And I've been thinking about practicing more on makeup, like yours is always really pretty I've been meaning to ask you about where you get You eyeshadow and stuff from."

"The cosmetics shop in the mall on the second floor."

Mira talks the whole way there and Evergreen answers back every now and then, letting the other girl carry the conversation that she hadn't even been planning to have. It's pleasant enough and not too annoying but when they reach the apartment and head inside Evergreen doesn't hesitate to grab her food and head to her room.

The white-haired girl is all hugs and jovial like she hadn't seen them earlier at school.

After distributing the bags(earning her a "thanks, baby" from Bickslow) she follows laxus into his room, eager to talk to him and get her grub on because this food was smelling amazing.

Laxus grumbles a fair amount for someone in his position and glares when Mira peers at him expectantly.

"So…"

"So, what?"

The girl grins and gets comfortable, "you and Gajeel. Spill."

"There's nothin' to spill," He mutters taking a hefty scoop of rice.

"Oh, you're not going to make this easy, huh."

Laxus shoots her a little smirk," when do I ever?"

Mira rolls her eyes, keeping a hand hovering under her spoon as she eats. "C'mooon," she whines," I brought you your favorite and aren't we best friends-"

"No."

"Yes, we are, which means that you should tell me all about your love life!"

He cracks eventually like he always does.

Mira learns that Laxus totally has a crush ( "I don't have a crush on him, you bitch.") and that they're sadly not dating.

But!

She believes in the power of love and the power of Laxus! He's not exactly the sweetest, and his personality needs work, in fact, he's a bit of a jerk. But so is Gajeel so that won't even be a problem. Nonetheless, she believes!

Besides they're already at the sharing clothes stage and she feels it in her heart that they'll succeed in their romance if the way Laxus' eyes light up when he receives a text from Gajeel is anything to go by.

It's cute the way he smiles slightly until he notices her looking and immediately reverts back to his 'I'm too cool for emotions' gaze.

She teases him mercilessly as they eat and even more when he walks her home.

"Try to keep your big mouth shut about this, yeah?"

"Of course! I'm rooting for you Lax." Mira smiles sweetly.

Laxus rolls his eyes and tells her to get inside as he begins to make his way back home.


Thanks for reading, tell me what you think or even what I could do better!

P.s just so there's no confusion in the last chapter gajeel didn't have a text message name bc juvia never saved his number as anything
