Internal thoughts
Sorta Date…
Two motherfucking months undercover for nothing! A hundred thousand jewels ain't worth that bullshit!
The poison dragon slayer was in a terrible mood coming back to the guild to give his report to the master about his under-cover mission. He understands that it is still not well known that he has been pardoned but that doesn't mean he wants to deal with low lives of dark guilds again. He has been in an extra foul mood because he could find no hind or hair of this Henry Ovall.
If she lied to me about the name of her supplier after all the shit I did I swear to God I won't help her anymore!
Barging through the large guild doors he takes a quick scan of the guild and happy to notice that Team Natsu was missing. Ignoring all the curious stares he heads straight to the bar. Kinana sees him coming and starts preparing his favorite drink. He takes it giving her a small smile before drinking the whole thing. Slamming it down he feels the poisonous concoction starting to burn through his veins lifting his mood a bit.
"Missed you Erik! Was the mission really that bad?"
"You truly don't want to know." He grumbles out. "Any names picked out for my nephew yet?"
"I wanted to make him a Jr. but he didn't want people knowing his real name is Sarusuke." She whispers conspiringly.
They both start laughing and more of Cobra's bad mood start chiseling away. He missed his best friend being with him all the time going on missions, but he is happy she is freed from her curse and able to have a real conversation with him. He is broken out of his musings as Mira comes out of the kitchen. She stops, and they make eye contact for a moment before she smiles at him.
"Welcome back Cobra!"
"I got a bone to pick with you demon bitch." He growls out angrily.
Taken aback she asks sincerely "What's wrong?"
"Henry Ovall doesn't exist! That's what! So, you either tell me the real name or you ain't getting shit from me again!"
"That's the name he gave me honestly! I was planning on going to see him today anyways, so I can bring you with me to introduce you two if you like."
He listens in to her soul and finds nothing malicious only sincerity in her offer, so he nods his head in agreement.
Clapping her hands together she replies, "Then it's a date! I was planning on asking Elfman to come with me to help carry everything but now you can help! I have to run a few errands before I meet with him this afternoon."
A date?! What the hell is she thinking?!
"I don't do dates! I agreed to meet him not follow you around town like a lost puppy!"
You will go, or you won't meet him!
Just smiling at him as if he didn't say anything she walks around the bar grabbing his hand to drag him out the guild. "I will be back by the dinnertime rush Kinana! Laki agreed to come and help you with handling the bar until then! Thanks again!" Waving from the guild doors she drags the grumpy slayer out to start their errands.
Throwing down her hand as if it burned him he grounded out, "I will not be dragged around like a child! I ain't scared of you so don't think you can make me do whatever you want!" Staring down at her he could hear how happy she was to hear him say that. He can't help but be shocked by what he hears her soul say next.
So, refreshing to not be intimidating! He's so hot when he's angry! He looks delicious I still want to taste his poison!
"So, you will come willingly then?" Staring back up at him unflinchingly she waited patiently for his answer.
Mulling over his options he finally gives in to the demons wishes. He nods in defeat to her and she turns around smugly to lead the way. As they travel down the street he leaves three feet between them while he reluctantly follows her. She starts talking about the ideas she has for Kinana's baby shower she is planning. Men start making comments and wolf whistle at her shortly after we start walking. He sees her tense but otherwise makes no movement as if she doesn't hear them. I listen to her soul and can't stop my eye from rolling as the different souls react to the attention.
They couldn't handle me! This is why I like Elfman coming he makes men back off. I will destroy them all! None of them look delicious like Cobra!
God I'm gonna regret this! He thinks to himself.
After hearing how uncomfortable she is with all the attention he makes a few quick strides to be next to her grabbing her hand and looping it through his arm. She looks up to him in surprise but smiles and continues as if nothing happened which he is grateful.
The first store they arrive to is a party store. He groans to himself as the owner runs over to her and they both start talking a mile a minute. He lets her catch up with her obvious friend and hangs back hoping this doesn't happen in every store. His ears pick up as she finishes paying for her order meeting her at the front door.
"One store down and three to go before we can meet him. I'll try to make it quick."
She hands him the two bags and wraps her arm around his once again as they leave the store. He has to glare at a few men that was more daring to make comments even with her wrapped around his arm. She remains quiet for most of the walk to the next store and he gives her some privacy enjoying the silence till she finally breaks it speaking barely above a whisper.
"Thank you for acting as my boyfriend and not saying anything about me unable to have children. I don't mean to push it upon people but when you can't have something so precious it makes you want it all the more and I just want them all to be happy."
"I keep secrets all the time because of my magic I can't help but hear them. I don't blame you for it. If I wanted kids I would probably be the same way. I am unable to have kids too from all the poison I consume."
Shocked from his admittance to being sterile as well she stops walking completely and stares up at him. He gives her a smirk and squeezes her hand and starts dragging her to the next store. Not liking how awkward the silence between them was getting he starts up a conversation.
"What name are you rooting for my nephew? I personally hope she names him Bo."
"I keep telling her to name him Jr, but she just laughs. Why do you want him named Bo?"
"Bo like Boa because he will be part snake from his mom and he has an uncle Cobra so it fits."
"Very clever."
The next store they go to is the liquor store. He surprises himself as he holds open the door for her and she blushes before walking in. Shaking his head, he follows her hoping that he doesn't have to carry around barrels of beer if she is planning on going to another store before meeting her supplier. Lucky for him she quickly places the order for delivery and was ready to leave. He holds out his arm for her to take once again realizing he doesn't really mind walking with her like this. Stopping his treacherous thoughts right there before they go any further he tries to distract himself.
"Where to next demon lady?"
"I have to stop at the bakery to place an order and I would like to stop at my favorite café for a quick bite if you don't mind before me go meet him?"
Is she trying to make this a date or what?!
He narrows his eye at her and realizes that she honestly was hungry. In for a penny in for a pound he figures what the hell he was getting hungry as well.
"Alright better have some good food. I ain't eating shitty food."
"Absolutely! I frequent there so much they have a special mistletoe shake for me! You will love it I promise."
Walking a few more blocks growling at few men that we're staring at Mira a little too long. He notices her giggle and blush at his antics and think it's interesting he never saw her blush over anything before today. He decided he liked it and paid attention to see when it would happen again.
He smells the bakery before they arrive, and it smells phenomenal. He doesn't let people know but he has a sweet tooth that could even rival Erza's. Making a mental note to check this place out in some of his free time he opens the door again for her this time watching for the blush to come. He smirks when she looks at him and blushes. She notices his cocky smirk and slaps his arm playfully before entering the shop.
"Good afternoon Lola! I was wondering if I could place an order for the guild to be delivered?"
"Of course, Mirajane! Do you want the usual strawberry cakes and chocolate chip cookies?"
"Can you add some cheesecake to those as well?"
"No problem I will have it delivered by Friday."
Leaving the bakery to find out that the café is right next door they sit at the metal tables on their outside patio. Picking up the menu he looks through it quickly surprised by the diverse selections they have he decides on ordering a club sandwich along with the mistletoe milkshake she mentioned. Setting the menu down he noticed that the waiter has already taken Mira's order of a chef salad with her milkshake.
"I want a club sandwich and a mistletoe milkshake."
"Sir that is a poisonous milkshake."
"I understand that! I am immune since I'm the fucking poison dragon slayer!"
"Ssorry sir!"
As the waiter runs away to fill their order he looks over to Mira who is barely containing her laughter.
"You sure have a way with people!" She laughs out.
He decides to give her dirty looks and not rise to her obvious baiting. The silence doesn't last long before the waiter returns with their orders. Quickly finishing his sandwich, he can't help the moan that comes out when he tastes the heavenly milkshake.
"Delicious isn't it?"
"Absolutely. You need to start making these for me at the guild."
"I think I can manage that."
The waiter comes back with the bill and places it on the table between the two of them. Remembering her picking about his way with people and that he wants to make her blush as much as possible he decides to grab the bill and pay for it. As he stands from the table she tries to grab the bill from him which he easily raises it out of her reach.
"You don't have to pay for me!"
"It's a date remember? Of course, I have to pay."
He sees a full-blown blush and smirks at his success. He goes and pay for the lunches and leaves a decent tip for the waiter for actually returning to the table himself. That guy had some guts. Grabbing the few bags she purchased he waits for Mira at the doorway to finally meet her Henry Ovall person.
Taking his arm and walking in step as if they have been doing it for years she leads him down the road away from the shops. They continue to go further down near some of the abandon buildings and then turn through an alley way. She stops him halfway down and looks up to where some metal stairs and ladder are hanging from the building. He arches an eyebrow at her waiting for her lead. She turns into her Satan Soul form and flies up to the stairs pushing down the ladder for him to climb. He stares for a moment enjoying the view of her new form.
Ain't so scary. Other guys are just pussies.
He quickly climbs up to her and is disappointed to see her transformed back. She climbs one more flight of stairs which he follows and climbs through the window. The room is dark but through the door he sees the hallway lit up. Following her like the lost puppy he mentioned earlier he rolls his eye to the ridiculousness of it. Finally, they come to a large open room that has lights on every wall and several couches that give it a waiting room feel.
"Henry I'm here!"
"I'll be right there sweet Mirajane!"
A short brown-haired man comes out a door to the left with a large smile which drops suddenly when he sees Cobra.
"Mirajane I didn't know you were bringing your boyfriend. I thought you were single."
At the same time, they both respond to him.
"I am single."
"Not her boyfriend."
He takes a relieved breath and comes over to greet Mira taking her hands in his and kissing them both. He has no idea why this bothers him, but I can't stop the scowl that forms on his face. She turns to face him and brings Henry with her.
"This is my guildmate and friend Cobra. He is the poison dragon slayer and would like to order some items from you."
After a grueling half-hour of dealing with the dwarf he was happy to take our orders and deliver them both to the guild. Cobra was livid over Henrys disgusting thoughts wishing to be alone with Mirajane and how he hopes to win her affection by creating more delicious toxic concoctions. He gave them some cyanide to drink before they left which did improve Cobras mood slightly. He all but dragged Mira down the hallway and to the window once she said goodbye. Once he jumped down to the ground again he waited for her to take his arm and go back to the guild.
Walking their way back to the guild he couldn't help but think that if dating was like this maybe it wouldn't be so bad. He can hear her contented sigh and gives a genuine smile being able to do that for her. Maybe a demon and dragon slayer could make it work. There is still one thing left to do to make this a real date. He smirks to himself thinking how she will react.
They get to the guild and she lets go of his arm before entering. He follows her through the mess of people and tables to the back room then he hands her the bags he's been carrying around.
"Thanks for today it was a lot of fun."
Seeing her flustered and hearing how happy she was about the sorta date they had gave him the confidence to grab her hand and pull her into his chest. She looked up at him and blushed as he placed his hand on her face grazing the side of her chin lifting it to be level with his. He leans down slow enough that she could pull away but instead watched as she closed her eyes and leaned up. Closing his eye he presses his lips to hers and moves his hand to the back of her neck.
He licks across the seam of her lips which she opens willingly, and he enters moving his tongue slowly with her own enjoying the noises and feeling it stirs within him. He fills his mouth with poison and hears the hitch of surprise from her as she swallows some and the moan that follows. Pulling away slowly he smiles as she grabs his shirt trying to keep him in place.
"You taste delicious." She says huskily looking up at him with half lidded eyes.
"You don't taste too bad yourself. Now you can say we went on a date." He answers while prying her hands off his shirt. Smirking at her he turns around and starts walking away while she deals with what they have between them now.
A demon and a dragon slayer can definitely make it work.
