I…was drunk while writing this. Blame Sting.

It was late at the Fairy Tail guild. Most of its members had retreated into their own homes making the silence inside the guild almost deadly.

There was, however, a lonely soul sitting in one of the few tables that had escaped the rowdy fights the guild suffered practically everyday. He sighed in contentment, knowing that he could have some privacy with someone special to him. He wasn´t even sure he could say this special someone was really part of the guild as they didn´t possess the mark that made them all a family. However, they probably spent more time at the guild than he himself did.

He snapped out of his imagination and smiled softly at the object next to him. He still remembered their first meeting. Lisanna had come back from her time in Edolas and all of them had partied until they fell from exhaustion. He, however, before passing out had met that who he is sure he wants to spend his life with.

He remembered briefly holding it in his arms before the confusion broke in. He had the feeling that before passing out, it had somehow flown from his hands and he had felt a slightly uncomfortable sensation before falling unconscious, but he passed it off as nothing. It wasn´t important enough to interfere in his memory with his beloved.

Max, as was his name, had spent countless nights from then on waiting for the guild to empty itself out so he could have his secret meeting with that who stole his heart. He had to wait, unfortunately. His fellow guild members would never understand their relationship and possibly never look at him the same way again. He wanted peace, that was all, so as much as it pained him, he kept it a secret.

But as long as he was with who he chose, he´d be fine, he thought as he softly stroked the shaft of the cleaning tool who stole his heart. His dear broom.
