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: Okay, I lied. This is probably my other favorite chapter.
Consanguinity
Summary: Tomboy or girly girl? Poor Laxus is stuck in the middle.
vi. Not so little anymore
"But Mira's pretty and she can do a mean tackle!" Wendy pouted.
To be fair, Laxus tried.
Key word: tried.
He suffered through her various stages of personality experimentation – consenting (albeit reluctantly) to be her model when she decided to learn to apply makeup techniques, acting as her workout partner for the various sports she wanted to try (he enjoyed that much better), accompanying her to various festivals and city events when she wanted to expand her horizons and tap into her inner artist…
He really didn't understand why Wendy was so… ugh.
To be fair though, she was fifteen now.
She was constantly changing her mind (shopping trips were a nightmare, and it was twice as worse when Mira came with them, although he wasn't stupid enough to say that to either of them), demanding for him to make trips to the grocery store for chocolate and other 'necessities' during her time of month…
She was obsessed with eyeliner and mascara and eyeshadow in various shades of blue (even though he swore they all looked the same) and coordinating her outfits.
And boys.
He gritted his teeth. That was the worst.
And Mirajane didn't help at all! In fact, she encouraged it!
"Romeo is so cute! He's so handsome and nice and his smile-" Wendy swooned.
"Hold it!" He interrupted, eyes wide as he held up a hand, stopping her. "What did I say about boys?"
Wendy scowled at him. "You're not my dad!" And then she deflated, turning away from him and murmuring sadly, "It's not like he notices me anyways."
And just like that, Laxus was angry. "Whaddaya mean he doesn't notice you? Is he blind?" He ranted indignantly, wondering out loud if he should have a talk with this 'Romeo' person.
If only he could've seen the sly smile on her face and the amusement in her eyes.
Her brother was so predictable.
