Either it was just my imagination or something happened to the guild. Everyone was acting all lovey lately. It was weird. First off, Gray usually never paid attention to Juvia's feelings but today he was accepting them? And Gajeel never really blushes, but when Levy tripped earlier carrying books, and he caught her …. His whole face was burning. Also Evergreen who never even does one nice thing for Elfman, but today she was at his aid. Or Erza has been going out lately! Cana and I followed her and turns out she has been meeting Jellal for lunch.
Things were becoming weird. Even Natsu and Lucy were closer than usual! Freed was hitting on Mirajane (plain to see) and Cana…. she was the only normal one. It seemed like it was ''Couples Week''. I decided that it was becoming way too weird, and went to walk to the park. As I did so, I thought about how it seemed like I was the only one without a mate. Everyone else already had their future lover, but I didn't. Maybe, mine is on the way? I thought.
I sat at a park bench watching the little kids play around. I wonder if they already have lovers of their own. NO NO! I'm getting to worked up over this! I sighed.
''Hey kid, what are you doing here?'' a harsh voice said. I looked over my shoulder and saw Laxus staring down at me.
''L-laxus! What are you doing here?'' I mumbled.
''I asked you first''
I sighed. ''Just thinking. Why are you here?'' I asked.
He grinned. To prepare myself. I'm not sure if my face expression showed if I was confused, but he laughed at me. ''You see'' he said, ''I have a thing at six o'clock tomorrow. I'm pretty nervous about it too.'' He continues grinning, something he doesn't normally do. I couldn't help but ask, ''Are you ok?'' He stopped grinning and stared. ''No, I'm not. I'm more than okay Lisanna!'' I continued to just stare at him confused.
''Lisanna, you should start looking. Go out and find someone that can make you happy.'', he said.
''W-what?''
''I saw you earlier, looking pretty sad while everyone else connecedt''
I knew I couldn't lie to Laxus. He would just see right through it, as always. ''Okay, ya I was. Who cares?'' Before I could protest Laxus put his hand on my head and said, ''Lisanna, find someone or something who'll make you happy or smile. Someone that will comfort you not with words but with their heart. Find someone who will make your heart jump.''
I was speechless. Hearing these words from Laxus might be a once-in-a-life-time-thing. And I felt lucky to hear them. Laxus looked deep into my blue eyes. He was….serious. Did something happen to him? Did he find the right one? Why waste those words on me? ''I-I don't know where to look'', I finally said. He laughed. ''Well for starters, don't look for singles within the guild. Search for different people in different areas.'', he said.
Laxus nodded. ''Well tomorrow is a important day for me, and I need all the sleep I can get. See ya around and…don't forget what I said.'' I nodded okay as he left. I want to tell everyone what Laxus just told me, but something tells me those words were mine only. Mine only. And for that, I will start looking. And I won't give up, till I find the one Laxus talked about. But what really bothered me was what Laxus was talking about. A thing at six o'clock? Typical.
