Hello!
Well, as I stated at the end of yesterday's one shot, my mind refused to work with 'kinky,' thus this is not based upon 'kinky.' A million apologies.
Also, this one is a lot shorter, and one million more apologies for that, but I shall (attempt to) make tomorrow's longer! I swear!

Mirajane giggles from behind the bar again as she wipes off a glass cup. She was very, very happy today.
After all, she was finally going to get her favorite couple to go on a date today.
Most people didn't see it that way, but Mirajane figured that Laxus and Lucy should have a better connection than any other couple in the guild.
After all, both of their fathers had once treated them horribly, and they both were under a great deal of stress due to the Tartaros attack.
She believed that they would be very compatible, and, if she was lucky, they would believe so, too, and go on another date and another and another. And, before you know it blonde kids would be running around the guild.
But, that was thinking a little bit a head.
They needed to take baby steps first, and baby steps they were...
...A few hours later...
Laxus nor Lucy were one hundred percent certain how they had ended up here, but here they were, at a pasta restaurant, on a date, covered in awkward silence.
Immensely awkward silence.
In their defense, they had never spoken before, and had never even paid specific attention to the other due to their teams always crowding them.
But that does not change how awkward the silence is.
"Uh, um... how are you today, Laxus?" Lucy ventures.
"Fine. You?"
"I'm good..."
Lucy begins to wring her jacket's sleeve, feeling very stupid that, even though she was a writer, she couldn't even keep up a conversation with the man in front of her.
It truly made her question her choice of profession.
"Uh... how was your last job?"
"Easy, it was just a Wvern."
"Ah. That must've been fun."
"Hn."
Seeing no continuation, Lucy decides to look down through the menu.
Laxus, on the other hand, had an infinite amount of ideas and thoughts that he wished to voice, but he didn't quite know how to, or which one to start with, for that matter.
He had never been much of a talker, but he knows that Lucy is the kind of person who you have to converse and speak with. It was just her nature.
Should he apologize? Well, she would probably just brush it off, saying that it didn't matter.
How about music? Didn't she have a spirit that supposedly made beautiful music? Hm...
"What kind of music do you listen to?"
Lucy looks back up at him, eyes full of surprise. They soften as she realizes that he was probably only trying to strike up conversation.
"I love classical music. What do you like?" She smiles brightly, picturing and practically hearing Lyra as the spirit played a soothing melody on her harp.
"Rock, usually. It helps drown out the guild brawls."
She laughs at this, making him ever so slightly smile.
"I don't blame you. They can get really hectic at times! But it makes Fairy Tail what it is, too."
"Yeah, I guess so. Wouldn't be the same without Natsu trying to fight everybody."
"Yeah! Exactly! Or Juvia stalking Gray, or Gray's awkward stripping habit! It makes them who they are!"
Now seems like as good a time as any to ask about something Laxus had heard Juvia say.
"So. Why does Juvia call you 'love rival'?"
"She thinks that there's something going on with Gray, but there's no way I'd be able to get past his strange stripping habit."
"Ha. Yeah, I think she wanted you to be with Natsu or Loke."
She laughs at this.
"There is no way that I am dating either of those idiots! It would be more of an effort to date them than I'm willing to put in."
He chuckles at that and nods. It's probably already a hassle to deal with them as friends everyday, nonetheless as boyfriends.
"I can only imagine what Natsu even thinks that dating is."
"Ha! Yeah, he probably thinks that it's another type of food."
"That wouldn't be surprising."
...
Mirajane takes off her binoculars and let out a dreamy sigh. She was certain, from this moment on, that she would forever be a crack shipper.
From beside her Happy whispers.
"They liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike each other."
Feel free to state your opinion!
This one I was really, really nervous about because of the mention of 'love rival,' but my confidante, Sprintjump, stated that it was fine, so I kept it.
Thank you, my joyful, amazing reader, for reading! All follows, favorites, and reviews were very, very, very appreciated! I literally fangirl when I get the e-mail! So thanks!
XOXO,
