Chapter 7: Jealous

Note: Just want to inform you that we are back on Mirajane's P.O.V. :)

Scribble. Scribble. Scribble. I am currently in our library working on my project, the said project was due next week but I want to finish it as soon as possible, and since today is my day-off at the restaurant I have decided to do it today. I was working silently for almost an hour when suddenly someone grabbed the chair in front of me and sat on it harshly. Thus, breaking the silence and my concentration.

"What th-" I was about to scold the person in front of me for being careless but I stopped when I saw his face. And of course I recognized him immediately.

"What are you doing in our library?" I glared at him.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm visiting you." He answered while peeking at my work.

Immediately I covered it with my hands. "And why?" I asked.

Instead of answering he just asked me another question "What are you doing?" He asked still making an attempt to see my work.

"It's none of your business Mr. Lightning Annoying Nosy Freak" I rolled my eyes at him.

"Hmm. Lemme guess, it's a love letter right?" He said while giving me a smug smirk.

"Ha ha ha. And what makes you think that I will write a letter for you?" I mock him.

"Tss.. Come on! If you want to confess your love and affection, just tell me. You don't have to write a letter anymore. It's obvious that you have the hots for me too.. There's no point in denying it." He said while wiggling his eyebrows at me.

I was about to retort when I remembered something.

It's obvious that you have the hots for me too.

Too?

"Hots for me too huh?" I blurted.

"What?" Immediately his annoying smirk was replaced with confusion.

"So..." I then looked straight at his orange eyes. "You have the hots for me?" I said trying to sound seductive, and by judging by his reaction I think I did it very well.

I twirl my hand through my hair and that's when I notice his ragged breathing, slowly I lean towards him.

"Admit it.." I put my finger through his broad arms and slowly ran my finger downwards, I can feel him shivering under my intense gaze.

"Your-" Before he can form any word I quickly stopped and revert to my old self before saying..

"Gotcha! That's a payback for what you did to me yesterday." I said while sticking my tongue at him.

He was looking at me with blank eyes, still shocked at my 'act' and I can't help but to giggle. My giggling probably helped him to regain his composure because now he was looking at me darkly, abruptly my giggling was replaced by fear.

"So you want that kind of game huh?" He then gave me a malicious grin.

Oh no!

Slowly he then leans towards me and I was leaning backwards on my chair preventing him to get near me. He just continued on leaning forward until to the point that we are almost nose to nose. I closed my eyes, waiting for his next actions.

"What are you doing? PDA is not allowed within the school premises!" A strict woman's voice was suddenly heard making me open my eyes. And when I did, I notice that all of the people in the library are looking at us, some are even whispering.

I bow my head in shame where as the person in front of me just grunted.

"I'm sorry" I mutter.

"Miss Strauss I never expect you do to such thing.." The librarian told me before she walked back to her desk.

I glared at the person in front of me. "This is all your fault!"

But he seems to be unaffected by my glare. "Finish your project." He ordered.

Oh now he's ordering me?

"I can't do it anymore, I can't focus." I confessed.

Yeah. I can't focus since you suddenly decided to appear and ruin my life.

To me surprise he suddenly stood up. "You're leaving?" I asked, relief is evident at my voice. Finally I thought that he was an insensitive guy but it seems that he has some senses in his bod-

My thoughts were put to a halt when he suddenly began to collect my things and harshly put it in my bag. He then grabbed my arm and pulled me towards my door.

"Hey let go of me!" I exclaimed while trying to stop him from pulling me out.

"Keep quiet! Do you want the librarian to come back?" He reasoned. I slumped my shoulders in defeat. I let him lead me outside.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked him. He seems to have a very annoying habit of pulling me around.

"Where going to meet my friends." He answered me once I'm seated beside him at his car.

"Oh Freed, Bickslow and Ever?" I asked.

"Yeah and many more." He answered.

Once we reached our destination I quickly notice that it was full of dancing people, with loud music blaring through my ears, smoke are everywhere and I can smell liquor.

Is this a Club?

Laxus is in front of me and I gasped when he suddenly clasped my hands in his. "Hold on me, I don't want to lose you."

Dug. Dug. Dug. There goes the heartbeat. Why do I always feel it?

When we started to make our way towards the crowd I then understand what he means with his 'I don't want to lose you' phrase.

Since it was packed with drunk and dancing people, passing them appears to be a challenge. But Laxus seems to be used to it because he can easily glide through people unlike me who had been bumped many times. I'm quite sure that if it wasn't for his hand holding me, I will be lost.

"Maaaaster!" When we entered a certain VIP room at the second floor of the club we are greeted by Freed who look very excited to see him, with Bickslow and Evergreen in tow.

"Laxus fight me!" A guy with pink hair excitedly bellowed.

"Natsu! Stop searching for fights!" A blond girl beside him scolded him while holding him in his scarf to stop him from attacking.

"Tsk. Do you want to be beaten to a pulp flame brain?" A guy with no shirt said. Wait? Why is he naked?

Laxus seems to read my mind because he suddenly said "Gaah. You're all noisy. Gray could you put some shirt on?" To which the said guy quickly reacted, it appears that he is not aware that he is naked.

"Who is this pretty lady beside you?" Another guy with blue shades suddenly appears beside me.

"Hands off Loke or I'll beat the hell out of you.." Laxus threatens. "Everyone she's Mirajane.." He introduced me.

"Ah Hi!" I greeted them.

"Hello My name is Lucy and this one is Natsu." The girl with blond hair said while pointing to the pink haired guy.

"I'm Gray." The used-to-be shirtless guy introduced

"And I'm Loke! You're soon to be boyfriend!" The guy with blue shades winked while holding my right hand he was about to kiss it, but before he can perform the act he was punched to the nearby wall.

When I look up I saw Laxus with a grim expression on his face. "I. Told. You. Not. To. Touch. Her!" He said through greeted teeth.

And with that the party started. I found out that it was their reunion. That they were all friends back from their childhood.

"Here.." Laxus said as he handed me a strawberry juice. "Are you bored? We can leave anytime you want."

"No. Umm.. Why did you have to take me here? I mean this was a reunion with your childhood friends right?" I asked him.

"Well... As you can see.. They are all bunch of idiots and I want to have a normal companion." He shrugged.

Normal Companion? Me?

I looked around and that's when I see the guy called Natsu having a fight with the guy called Gray.

"T-they're fighting!" I gasped.

"Don't worry they always do that. There's nothing surprising about it." Laxus said calmly.

What kind of people are they?

Me and Laxus are silently sitting on a table with Freed, Ever, Bickslow and Lucy. (Natsu and Gray are still fighting while Loke is still unconscious due to Laxus' punch.) When suddenly a hand appear on Laxus shoulders.

"Hey enjoying the party without me?" A black haired woman said.

"Huh? Ah Cana." Laxus said, unaffected by the pair of hands on his shoulders. Who is she? Is she- Is she Laxus girlfriend?

I don't know but I suddenly felt a throb in my chest. The said girl and his red-haired companion were greeted by their other friends while I excuse myself to use the restroom.

Once I reached the restroom I quickly splashed cold water on my face hoping that it will help me to ease that painful throb in my chest.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked myself through the mirror.

When I returned my seat has been occupied by Cana who is currently having a conversation with Laxus. They seem to be close with each other.

Not wanting to interrupt whatever their conversation I decided to just sit on a stool near the counter where no one is sitting.

I feel like an outcast here. Well I'm really an outcast here.

A tap on my shoulder interrupted me from my thoughts.

"Hey why are you here?" It was Freed.

"Hmm? Well everyone is having a conversation so I just settle here." I replied.

"Why don't you join in the conversation?" He asked.

"I don't know them so how would I be able to join in their conversation?" I answered.

"Hmmm.. Well you have a point there." He said.

"Actually, I'm going home now. I have a duty and class tomorrow so I have to take a rest. Will you just tell Laxus that I already left?" I asked him.

"What? Ah no. Wait I'll tell him." And with that he stands up but I stopped him.

"No he seems to be having fun. I don't want him to leave just because he has to drive me or such thing. Just tell him later." I said with a smile and with that I left.

Once I reached the first floor I find it hard to pass the crowd.

"Phew!" I breathed a sigh of relief once I reached the door of the club but once I step out a blond guy blocked my way.

"Where do you think you're going?" He said with anger in his tone.

"I'm going home." I retorted.

"Without me?" He asked.

"Why do I have to go home with you?" I raise my eyebrow at him.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked me again this time holding my wrist. I just remained silent. What's wrong with me? I don't know either. All I know is that I badly want to go home now.

"If you want to go home you could have just told me. If it wasn't for Freed I wouldn't know, luckily I found you before you left." He began lecturing me while driving.

"You're drunk right? You're not supposed to drive." I retorted trying to change the subject.

"I'm not drunk. I just take a few sip." He answered with a scowl. "I will never put your life in danger." He added afterwards.

Blah. Blah. Blah. Why didn't you just stayed there and talked to your Cana?

"Who is Cana?" I blurted. After realizing what I said I quickly wished that I did not asked it. What's wrong with me?

Laxus looked at me with wide eyes before answering. "She's the daughter of Gildarts Clive my grandfather's friend, like Natsu, Gray, Erza and Loke she's also a childhood friend while Lucy is Natsu's girlfriend." He explained.

I remained silent. I don't know how I will react.

"Hey are you feeling well? I know you are not used to that kind of place and I'm sorry if I have to bring you there."

Silence.

"Cana has a boyfriend and his name is Bacchus. So there's no point in being jealous." He said with an annoying grin.

Me jealous? "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? IM NOT JEALOUS!" I flushed.

"Hey that's just a joke! Since you are asking Cana I just thought you'd like to know." He said while putting his one hand in front of him in a defensive manner.

"Always remember this. I'm not jealous and I'll never be jealous!" I said while giving him a death glare.

"Alright then if you say so.." He then gave me a seductive smirk.

"I TOLD YOU I'M NOT JEALOUS!"

A/N: My, my, Mirajane is too obvious. :)
