WARNING THERE'S A MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH
So, I did this for an ask on tumblr (death of a loved one so very angsty) but it's alsooooo MIRAXUS and we love that.
Mirajane was finally alone and able to let go. She slid down the wall until she was in a crouched position and allowed herself to mourn. Sobs racked her body and she tugged at her hair in distress.
The Master had died a week before. Sure, he'd been sick for a while, but he held on for so long that it no longer loomed above their heads. It did for Mira though. She was the one who always had to be strong for the rest. She couldn't show vulnerability because she was the guild's rock.
It was for that reason that although Makarov died a week ago it was only now that she was able to grieve properly and even that would only last for 20 minutes at most.
She'd been the master's main caretaker since he first started getting sickly and it was heart-wrenching that he was gone.
"Mira?" Laxus called out from the bottom of the stairs, "you home?"
Oh, no. She hurriedly fixed her hair and wiped the tears from her face.
"Yes Dragon, I'm home. I'll be right there!" She yelled back as she opened the door, but he was already there.
"Were you cryin?"
"N-no! Why would I be crying?" She guffawed, "How are you feeling Lax?"
"Demon," He appraised her face, "you do know that you don't always have to be so strong all the time, right? You were the closest to the old geezer. You can feel sad."
"Oh, Dragon," She fell forward into his chest as his arms snaked around her waist. "Thank you." Tears streamed down her face.
"Of course, Mirajane."
and they stayed like that for a good while. Until Mira had let all her emotions run free and her tear ducts had dried. Until Laxus' legs were sore, and they moved over to the bed where Laxus just hugged her shaking body until sleep found her.
