Chapter 5: Birthday Celebration.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail! Do I have to say it? :D

I was busily serving drinks at the restaurant when four people suddenly arrived.

"Welcome to the Fairy Tail res- Oh it's you." I said.

"Yeah hello to you too.." Laxus said with his usual bored face.

"You are with your friends." I said pointing at the three people behind him.

"Hn. These idiots insist on coming with me." He said as he was making his way towards a table.

"Oww come on Master Laxus! We insist on coming here because we think that we should celebrate today, afterall its yer birthday!" Bickslow one of Laxus' friend -err bodyguard said following him as he sit in a particular table.

"Nah. I'm not in the mood to celebrate." He responded, he then waves his hand in front of them as if shooing a dog.

"Is it really your birthday?" I inquire slowly walking towards them.

He just gives me a nod as a response. "Birthdays happen every year there's no special about it." He added none chalantly.

Well he's quite right, Birthdays happen every year but it's not an acceptable excuse. A birthday is a day that should be celebrated whoever and whatever you are.

"Then by all means..." I stand and fix myself in front of him. Ahem. I cleared my throat.

"Today is Happy Day.. Today is Thankful Day... The world is beautiful because it's your Day.." I sing while clapping my hands in tune with the song.

He was looking at me with wide eyes and to my surprise, he smiled. A genuine smile that I rarely saw in him.

My singing stopped when we saw a flash and that's when I saw Freed holding a camera, behind him are Bickslow and Evergreen trying to hide themselves.

"Oops sorry. I forgot to turn off the flash." He said with a cheeky grin. I don't know if you can call it a cheeky grin or an embarrassed grin.

"Tss.. Leave me alone." Laxus said reverting to his old grumpy self.

"Hmm. I'll go get your cake." I said but before I can take a step, he suddenly stopped me.

"Cake? But I haven't ordered anything!" He said.

"Oh don't worry since you are one of our 'loyal' annoying costumer it's free" I happily said.

"Don't do that anymore, I don't like cakes it's too sweet, just get me some drinks. A beer will do." He answered.

"But we like cakes!" Evergreen reasoned.

"Unfortunately it's not your birthday. So leave me alone. Just see you all tomorrow." He said dismissing them.

Freed, Evergreen and Bickslow can't do anything but to obey their 'Master's' order.

"Tsss. You really are a loner do you know that?" I said lecturing him.

"I just don't like to celebrate my birthday." He said with his usual scowl.

I took a deep breath. "Alright then." After that I started making my way towards the kitchen to get his order but he suddenly talked.

"Do you want to celebrate my birthday?" He asked.

"Hmm? You said you don't want to celebrate it?" I asked in return.

"I changed my mind. I want to celebrate it." He said as a-matter-of-factly.

"Really? Then you should call Freed and the other's so they can return here!" I exclaimed while excitedly clapping my hands. Birthdays are one of the important events in life that should be celebrated.

"No. We'll celebrate it." He said.

"W-we?" I asked, confused.

"Yes we. I want to celebrate. Just the two of us." He said with a grin.

"Oh no I have a work to do!" I reasoned.

"Oh yes. Because that work will end by 4:00 and its 3:40 now." He said, his grin growing bigger and bigger.

He knows? Tss. I began to think. This pervert might be plotting something evil, but... He is my FRIEND now right?

"Don't worry we'll just celebrate. Nothing more, nothing less." He added afterwards as if he can read my thoughts.

Sigh. I love birthdays and it will a shame if he won't be able to celebrate it.

"Alright then. Just wait till my shift ended." I said looking exasperated.

"Soo.. Where are we going?" He asked me once we are outside the restaurant.

"What? Why me? It's your birthday not mine!" I retorted.

"Hn? Anywhere is fine with me." came his honest answer.

"What? Hmm.." I then put my finger in front of my chin and began thinking. This buffoon.. Where should I take him? "Where do you usually went during your birthday?" I finally asked him, unable to think of some places.

He just gave me a shrug and answered "Bar or club"

Aah as expected. "Alright then I know a place."

"Oh? That's good." He said while we make our way towards his shining, shimmering, splendid car.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" He said after we reached our destination.

I put my hands in front of my chest, clearly not satisfied with his reaction. "Of course! This is a fun place to celebrate a birthday."

"In the Amusement park? What am I? A kid?" He said with disgust.

I pout at him. "If you don't like here, then let's go." I was about to return to his car when he immediately said "No it's fine. We're already here anyway."

"Tss. If you don't have any issues left in your bones anymore. Then let's go." I said before making my way towards the ticket booth.

Upon entering the amusement park I notice that his face lighten up a bit. "I told you you'll like here!" I told him smugly.

"Tss. It's just been a long time since I went in a place like this." He said while looking around.

"Really? With whom?" I can't help but to be curious.

"With gramps." He said.

"Oh? Master Makarov? He is a good grandfather isn't he?" I asked him.

He then looked at me with a raise brow "How could you say that?"

"Well. Because I can feel it." I grin at him.

Instead of answering he just pats my head. "Where do you want to go first?" He inquires changing the subject.

And with that we started going into various rides such as Anchors Away, Roller Coaster and of course the infamous Ferris Wheel.

"Hmm? Let's go to a photo booth!" I exclaimed after we ate from a food chain located inside the amusement park.

"Photo booth?" He said wearing his infamous scowl.

"Yes! Let's go!" And without waiting for his answer I quickly tug him towards the booth.

When we reached that I quickly snatch a costume which is composed of a hat and a funny looking shade. I gave him the shades and with some force I finally made him wear it.

The photos are consisted of eight shots and I made eight different poses for different shots while his face never changed, but at the last shot I can see a grin though you won't notice it if you won't look carefully.

"You could have at least smiled! It won't kill you if you gave a smile once in a while." I lectured him but he is just looking at his copy.

"Who will smile while wearing that shades? It's downright ugly." He said his lips forming a grim line.

"At least it suits you! Downright ugly hahaha." I answered trying to humor him, we are now outside the park searching for his car.

"Ugly? So.. You don't find me handsome?" He said with interest.

"No." I quickly retorted. Trying to annoy him.

"No what? No. I'm not handsome or No. I'm handsome?" He said with a teasing tone.

"No you're not handsome" I retaliated.

"Then by all means.." To my horror he stopped walking and started to unbutton his shirt, fortunately no one is around us, or they will think that I am with a psychotic.

"Hey what are you doing?" I asked him while putting my hand in front of my eyes.

"Stripping. Maybe If I'm naked you'll find me handsome." He said as if it was the most obvious thing to do.

"Are you crazy? Who the hell stripped just to be handsome?" I bellowed.

"Me.. So I'm handsome or not?" He asked me with his annoying smirk.

"Alright! Alright! You are handsome. Just don't strip. Okay?" I said.

He then gave me a teasing grin "Say. Laxus you are the most handsome guy I ever met."

"What! Why would I say that?" I said with disgust.

"So I won't strip in front of you" He said with a malicious look in his face.

I stick my tongue on him. "Bleeeh"

"Ah. So.. You won't say it?" He then put his hands on his belt.

"Pervert!"

"Say it"

"No!" I closed my eyes.

"Hmmm?" I can hear some sounds as if he was really unbuckling his belt.

"ALRIGHT! Laxus you are the most handsome guy I ever met! There now! Happy?" I asked. I slowly open my eyes and I'm relieved to see that he had not unbuckled his belt. He stood there looking proud of himself and his perverseness and before I knew it he was pinching my cheeks.

"CUUUUUUTE!"

"Bye Bye!" He said while waving his hand to me. We are now outside his car, in front of my apartment.

I ignored him. I can still feel the soreness of my cheeks. Damn him! I turn around and walked to our door, I was about turn the knob but I was stopped when I suddenly heard him say.

"Thank you Mira" And when I turn around I saw him and his.. Smile. He looked really handsome with that smile, my anger was now long gone. This time he was the one who turn around but before he can climb inside his car I quickly say.

"Happy Birthday Laxus." I saw him stiff and before I can look at me I quickly open the door and went inside.

Dug. Dug. Dug. (Note: Sorry. Let's just pretend that it's a heart beat! :D)

That's when I noticed my heart beat. It's beat is faster than usual.

Maybe I'm just tired. After all, it's been a long tiring day.

Note: So yeah. I was thinking if I should make a chapter with Laxus P.O.V. What do you think?

Review peeps.
