~Chapter Ten~

Reprocussions of Living with a Flirt.

^Fuyu's PoV^

"Onii-chan?! You home?"

Walking into the Raijinshu's house my mind deflates when I recieved no answer. Well I am staying for a month and a half so maybe I'll run into him. Running up the stairs I turn left to head to my room when something had me against the wall. My heart skipped when I smelt the man's scent.

Laxus.

His right hand guided my chin to look at him and his orange eyes glint with mischeif. His lips formed into a cruel smirk.

"That was a nice little stunt you pulled off at the guild hall. They actually believed it was the real necklace." I swallowed and looked away. Only Laxus knew my heart when it came to the dragons. I was just as feeble minded as Natsu. Laxus pulled out my real necklace and let it dangle in front of my eyes.

"Now had you have your REAL necklace on, would you have destroyed it?"

Shaking my head he gives a chuckle filled with mallice. Laxus began changing over the years and I believe he's on a power trip. He's showed signs of it more than once on occasion. But my dumb brother still sees him as the best guy ever. Honestly his fanboyism makes me gag.

Laxus clasped the necklace around my neck and his hand comes back to my chin. His other one rests flat on my stomach and I want to freak out. When we use to train he would do that whenever I did something wrong. Water isnt very good at handling lightning and he knows it scares the crap out of me.

Im shaking as we speak.

"Your really good at acting strong. But acting wont get you anywhere. Sure in talks of strength your stronger than your dear brother. But he would last longer than you in the world. He already has. Whatever happened to all that determination, Fuyu? All that potential strength. You ran away when Lissana died-"

"I didnt run!"

"And now your as tough as Erza? I dont think so."

Even though I was scared, his hand felt good. I saw his eyes roaming around my body and I suddenly felt self-concious. I was wearing a top thats shaped like a bikini and jean shorts that stopped on my thigh. His strong body being pressed against me did not help. At all. The hand on my stomach moved to my hip and tightened. I guess he knew how I felt at the moment because he pressed closer and his nose trailed along my neck. He nibbled my ear and then let out a deep whisper.

"Keep dreaming, Fuyu."

I flushed as he backed away and headed down the hallway to his room. Stumbling to my own I shut the door and collapse right there.

'D-did Laxus just...tease me?'

-Next Day-

"By guys, have a nice trip!"

Gray gave me one last kiss and Team Natsu headed off towards Akane resorts. Honestly they make me come back home and then they ditch?! Why me?!

Seeing that Laxus wasnt at the guild I assumed he stayed in late today. It was noon. I wish Erza was here, I needed to tell her. But she's not. My next option would always be Lissy-chan. But shes...

"Fuyu! Are you hungry? I could whip something up if you'd like?" Mira! Yes! She maybe a matchmaker but she's also the advice keeper.

"Actually, I was wondering if you'd wanna go to the café across the street for a quick snack."

^Omniscient PoV^

Mirajane was caught in deep thought.

It wasnt like the twenty three year old lightning mage to be flirtatious. He was the akward one who acted tough but would probably have a mental breakdown when asking a girl out.

Then again he wasnt asking the seventeen year old out. He was giving her mixed signals. Clearly his voice said stay the hell away but his hands said another thing.

Fuyu kept fidgeting and looking around the place. They were in a nice quiet café that had clean white tables outside for lovely days such as this one. The girl's garnet eyes roamed the street that they sat near. People walked passed and some entered the inside café. Finally Mirajane came up with an answer.

"Forget about it!"

Fuyu's head shot up from her peanut butter cookies. Like Erza she was obsessed with one particular sweet and that was peanut butter cookies. She still had some currently in her mouth and she looked at Mira, dumbfounded.

"Wha...?"

"Dont talk with your mouth full. The reason I say forget about it is because it's not really considered 'flirting'. If Laxus was flirting he would have been trying to make you his woman. I dont think its so big as though you'd have to tell Gray. You just got back, he's happier than he's ever been. It's not worth it!" Fuyu considered that and swalloed her cookie. Grabbing another she shrugged. "You sure? I want Gray to trust me."

"And he does. This isnt even a real deal crisis! But Im proud that you thought about telling him. It shows you do care about his feelings and his concerns. Your an amazing girlfriend."

'She wouldnt be saying that, if she knew that I liked it.'

Little did the two S-Class mages know was that a certain water mage had heard the whole story.
