Summary: A series of inter-related drabble-length one-shots featuring Wendy growing up and an overprotective Laxus. AU, Laxus/Mirajane pairing, Laxus/Wendy broship. Possibly slight-crack-fics.

A/N: I practically hear your screams. ("YOU LIAR WHAT HAPPENED TO A COUPLE DAYS AND THIS STORY BEING INCOMPLETE?!") Well... I should have probably mentioned this earlier but... the day (night) before yesterday I just sat down and typed away until I finished the rest of the chapters. So... as of a couple days ago, I finished writing this! (Please put down your pitchforks and torches and tomatoes while I find a place to hide!) Er... so... updates should be regular as I take some extra time to edit each chapter and whatnot. (Pleasedontcomeaftermethischapterisapeaceoffering) Aaaaaaanyhow... moving on to this chapter! Poor Laxus. Wendy growing up is torture for him! Poor guy deserves a medal for everything he suffers through.

Summary: Wendy has her first crush. Laxus is not amused.

iv. Crush

Mirajane was amused by the situation unfolding in front of her.

Wendy was pouting and Laxus was irritated.

"Tell me his name." The twenty two year old demanded, his arms crossed as he frowned unhappily.

"No! You'll scare him away!" The thirteen year old scowled, but truth be told, she was just too adorable even when she was upset with her older brother.

"I'm your big brother. It's in the job description." He grunted.

"Miraaaaa~!" Wendy whirled on her brother's girlfriend, her puppy eyes pleading for assistance.

Mira laughed and patted Laxus on his shoulder, leaving room for the younger girl to make her escape. "I think you should take it easy, Laxus. It's only her first crush, after all. She's not dating anybody yet."

"Key word: yet," Laxus gritted his teeth distastefully.

The model nodded in agreement before commenting cheerfully, "If you're like this when she's got her first crush, I hate to imagine how you'll react once she actually starts dating!"

"She. Is. Not. Going. To. Date. Anyone. Ever." He growled.

"Mira, I'm going out now, see you for dinner, bye! Love you guys!" Wendy cheerfully interjected, one hand on her school satchel while the other waved enthusiastically.

His eyes widened. "Wha-"

He was interrupted by Mirajane, who waved in response, her eyes twinkling as she said, "Don't worry darling, I'll hold him down! You enjoy your play date!"

"DATE?!"

"Don't worry Laxus, it's only a school project. But who knows...?"

"I'LL KILL THAT BRAT!"
