Sore Loser (PAINtball Series)
Pairing: Laxus Dreyar, Mirajane Strauss
Series: Fairy Tail

Writer's Corner: I just had to write it!

Mirajane Strauss was a kind-hearted, easy-going, all-smiles woman. In other words, she was just a little ball of sunshine who got along with everyone. Until, you throw her into the battle field. Then, welcome to the dark side.

"Laxus!" cried Natsu. "Take your girlfriend away!"

"You pussies!" The woman shrieked, running havoc at the Fairytail Paintball Playground.

Despite winning this year's 'Boys vs. Girls Paintball Game', the guys had to crouch behind the makeshift barrels, hiding from the crazy woman running the paintball gun at anyone in sight. It didn't matter that the guys won. Mira felt cheated. So, she conveniently ignored their cries of surrender and open-fired at them.

Watching his five-foot-three-inch girlfriend go psycho at the guys like some kind of avenging warrior, it kind of made Laxus feel proud. His little goody two shoes making all those sons of bitches cry, putting fear in their trembling hearts. To top it all off, she was spewing cusswords at all the guys, some of whom were twice her size. Laxus was grateful he had to serve as mediator in this year's game. Otherwise, he'd be hiding behind the barrels too.

"TAKE YOUR CRAZY GIRLFRIEND HOME!"

Loke demanded, covering that sensitive part targeted by Laxus' psycho girlfriend, writhing on the ground in pain because he made the mistake of walking up to the fuming monster.

"Or no one in here will have kids. Ever!"

If he wasn't burying his head on the ground in pain, Laxus was sure he'd find tears rolling down the Casanova's religiously moisturized cheeks. But the biggest flirt of the century was right. If Laxus wouldn't put an end to it, he'd be there the rest of the day watching the guys get their balls served to them. Laxus had better things to do, such as claiming his prize a.k.a the Dark Side Mirajane shooting the paintball gun indiscriminately. So, he walked up to the other half of the monster duo, wrestled the paintball gun out of her hands and hefted the hostile Mirajane over his shoulder.

"That's enough, Mira." said Laxus, patting her cute butt as Mirajane wildly wiggled over his shoulder for freedom.

"Not until I give them a piece of my mind!" refused Mira, throwing a fist at the guys behind the barrel. "You wimps! Why are you hiding now?!"

Laxus audibly sighed. "I think you've given them enough."

The woman stopped struggling from his hold as Laxus carried her back to his car but she focused all energy calling the guys names. "Cry babies!" yelled she. "You don't have balls! Hah. You don't even deserve one!"

Laxus bit down a laugh. The woman was heartless. He reminded himself never to get on her bad side, ever. He realized the guys have finally discovered him taking care of their 'problem' since they started coming out of hiding and shouting back at his angry warrior.

"Well, what now? You sore loser!" He could place that voice everywhere. The same voice begging him to take out the avenging girlfriend – Natsu.

"We beat you this time!"

"Oh yeah?" retaliated she. "Put me down, Laxus. I'll show them what 'beat up' supposed to mean." Mira turned to him, propping a hand over his shoulder, ready to climb down him to smack someone. "Those spineless bastards."

Laxus tightened his hold over her, slapping her butt this time to get her to keep quiet.

Didn't work.

"Wait 'til I get down from here you insolent bastards! I'm going to kick your balls up to your–"

That's when the screaming started again. He didn't need to look back to know what was happening. Chose not to. Because the cries gave him a clear picture of what was coming down in that battle field – a blood bath. Some begged for their lives, some screeched in pain, and some just lauded the sacrifices of their fallen comrades.

"Yeah, that's it Erza!" Laxus' little monster cheered on. Whistling and yeah-ing at the other half of their monster duo.

Laxus shook his head. He was just a few steps away from where he parked his car. His friends called for him, pleading for his help. As much as he wanted to take care of the redhead too, he got his hands full of one sore loser.

"Give them heeeell!"

"Are you still pouting?"

"No."

Obviously, she still was. But Laxus kept his silence as he pulled and led Mirajane into the lobby of his building.

"That freaking bastard!" She erupted after stepping into the elevator. "What a sly bastard. I didn't even think Gray's capable of that." She spewed, crossing her arms underneath her chest. "What a sly bastard." She mused, her brows meeting in the middle, eyes boring a hole at the steel doors.

"You would have done the same." His voice was low and easy to miss except that Mira easily caught on to it.

"What?" She stared at him with disbelief. "What the… how could you even… hah. I can't believe you'll take their side."

He wasn't actually taking anyone's side. Laxus was stating facts. But just like that, all of Mira's anger was directed at him.

"Unbelievable." She shook her head, hardening her jaw at his betrayal. Then, an outraged gasp bounced around the closed box. "So that's why you get to have me as prize?" Mira concluded. "But you didn't even join in the game." Even if Mirajane's height only reached his shoulders, she still stared up to him as if they were equals. Laxus loved that about his woman.

Laxus turned to face her, that accusing little thing glaring at him with questioning eyes. He bridged the gap between them, his purposeful strides intimidating her into taking steps back until there was no room to step back to. "Well, baby…" He planted both arms on either side of her head, resting his body against hers. "I saved those crybabies from this crazy woman shooting at them," his lips hovered over her parting ones. Laxus pleasingly watched as his almost-kiss melted that angry expression on her face.

And oh how much she was anticipating that kiss.

With triumph in his voice, Laxus leaned into her ear. Slowly, he whispered, "Mine to do," and he spoke the next words in that way he knew did things to her. "Whatever. I. Want."

Mirajane jumped at the sound of the elevator ding. She marched out of that really, really cramp and really, really hot elevator before she forgot all about her anger and his betrayal. When did it get so hot in there? She asked herself as her feet brought her to his unit. All the while, fanning her reddened cheeks with her own hands.

A few minutes later, Mira was standing in the middle of Laxus' apartment, confusedly staring at that golden, she dared call bikini, Laxus presented to her.

"You want me to wear that?" She questioned, expecting him to change his answer.

"Yes." But of course Laxus has made up his mind. Handing her again the garments, this time more insistently, he reminded, "Don't forget the hair too." He totally ignored the way she narrowed her eyes at him and plopped to the couch to wait for Mira to get changed.

When it looked like he wasn't going to cave in, Mira gave up and started for his bathroom.

"Fvck Gray." She cursed under her breath.

"No, no, no, babe. You know I get jealous when you say some other guy's name after fvck."

Mira stopped and turned around.

"That wasn't what I meant." She quickly denied. But with a teasing smirk, Laxus waved her to move along and get changed into that sexy costume. It cost him a fortune but Mirajane in a Princess Leia golden bikini? Totally worth it.

One secret fantasy all the guys his age had was about to come to life and Laxus couldn't wait to get his hands on it. He didn't have to wait long as Mirajane materialized before his appreciative eyes, clad in the whole ensemble: copper brassiere, red loincloth, gold-plated arm-wrap, and last but definitely got the gears going was the gold-plated collar around her neck. And as Laxus demanded, Mira had her long silver hair parted in the middle and pulled into rolled buns on either side of her head. She watched the movie with him, albeit reluctantly. Mira had a faint idea what she was supposed to look like.

Laxus' own Princess Leia. All the nerds at their parents' basement must have died of jealousy.

Laxus ran his tongue over his lips like a predator about to devour his prey. Mirajane didn't miss that, the way he bit his lip and how he was seemingly undressing her with his deep brown eyes. She felt her stomach knotted with the hot gaze that drank her in and she tried to ignore her own lust that flooded her body.

Undeniably and quite clearly turned on, Laxus walked up to Mirajane, holding her blue eyes captive. He stopped in front of her, mere inches away that the cups of her brassiere brushed against his hard chest. He had that half smile, that smirk that told Mira he owned her. At that moment, she thought that he might be right because Mira could hardly keep herself standing with that undeniable electricity bouncing between them. And when Laxus ran his fingers over her exposed skin, she felt the static surged through her veins. A light touch with an explosive effect.

"Your skin is so beautiful." He said in a low rumble, only taking his eyes off of her to see where he was touching. "I wouldn't want to ruin it."

Mira didn't understand what he was driving at until she watched him take out a rope from behind the couch and a camera. One thought crossed her mind and she wasn't sure how to feel about it. But her heart was pounding loudly than it did earlier than when they were inside the elevator.

"Laxus… what are you…"

"Oh, this?" He dangled the rope in front of Mira's stunned blue eyes. "Just a little payback, my slave."

"P-payback?"

Mira matched Laxus' measured strides with a step back but he was quick to catch on.

"Remember when you enjoyed hitting me with that whip of yours?"

Vividly.

Last year, when the girls bagged their second win and Mirajane got Laxus as her prize, the sweet and innocent girlfriend had the opportunity to show another side of her that not even Laxus has seen before – dark and domineering – who secretly enjoyed a little bondage and discipline, dominance and submission. She not only made him wear a crop top which read 'Mira's Little B*tch' but Dominant Mira introduced him to a whole new world. He would be lying if he said the bondage and the whips didn't scare him at first. It freaked him out how this alter ego enjoyed inflicting both pain and pleasure, something his Mirajane would never take delight in. The girl couldn't even kill a bug! Or so he thought. But later, he seemed to have understood. He, a proud man, suffered through her dominance and now, Laxus was ready to give Mirajane a taste of her own medicine.

Well, sort of.

"Now, give me your hands." ordered he, to which Mirajane complied.

Laxus watched her intently while he bound her wrists with the rope. Mira couldn't handle the heat; she shifted her gaze and stared at her hands being wrapped together.

"Just remember my safe word–"

"–Bunnies. Your safe word is 'bunnies'." finished Laxus as he finally tied one end of the rope. Then, he took a step back to take a look at his masterpiece. Laxus took in her perfection, nodding satisfyingly to himself before he took a photo to memorialize this moment.

"Laxus!" complained Mira, dazed at the bright flash that almost blinded her.

But the master took his time waiting for the photo to develop and dry out. "Just a little remembrance." said he. He looked at the Polaroid of slave Mirajane and frowned. Unfortunately, pictures couldn't capture the perfection that was in front of him. Slave Mirajane was even better than any dream he had of this moment. But on those nights that he'd like to look back fondly on this very moment and Mirajane wasn't around to do an encore, those photos would serve as substitute, albeit poorly.

"Now," he threw the camera and the photos behind him, landing on the cushion of the couch, "let me remind you of who I am." He grabbed the other end of the rope and wrapped it around his hand as he bridged the gap between them. "I'm the master, you're the slave. That means I can do whatever I want." Then, he pulled hard on the rope, jerking Mirajane towards him. He stole a quick peck from a surprised Mira and reminded her once more, "Whatever. I. Want."

His deep brown eyes were full of promises – hot and wicked. Mira understood her role and, as an obedient slave, she averted her eyes away from him, cheeks turning hot and rosy.

"Yes, Master." She consented with a small voice.

"Good girl."

Holding on the rope, Laxus led her slave into his bedroom where a whole night of dominance and submission awaited them.
