A/N: Thanks for reviewing guys! :)

Laxus' POV

I found out that it was Bickslow who revealed my not-so good playboy backround on Mira. As much as I badly want to beat the hell out of him I can't. I just can't. Afterall it was true.

So here I am. Standing infront of the Strauss residence. I just hope that what will I do will have a good outcome.

I took a deep breath and knocked. Once the door opened I was greeted by a pair of blue eyes.. and a white short-hair.

"Hi..." I greeted.

"Ah... Hello?" Mirajane's younger sister greeted me in return.

"I am Laxus, Mirajane's ahh friend." I introduced myself.

"Yeah I remember you. Mira-nee is not here she's in the restaurant." She politely informed me.

"Don't worry that's not the reason why I'm here, actually I want to talk to you and to your brother." I explained.

"Oh.. Alright. Come in.." She said while opening the door for me.

After she offered me some drinks which I politely declined we sat in silence before Mirajane's youngest sister spoke.

"Ahm. By the way yesterday when you went here we were not able to introduced ourselves. I am Lisanna and this is my older brother Elfman." She said while pointing towards a white-haired man who remains leaning at the wall while glaring at me. I supposed he's mad at me for what happened yesterday.

"It's nice knowing you.. " I said.

Mirajane's sister Lisanna was about to say something when his brother Elfman suddenly interrupted him.

"So why are you here? What do you want with my sister? Are you manly enough to be with her? Are you ready to face death once you cheated on her?" He bombared me with questions after questions.

"Elf-nii calm down!" Lisanna hushed him.

"Don't worry that's the main reason why I'm here. To prove that I am serious this time." I said.

"What do you mean serious this time?" Eflman asked with a glint of suspicion in his eyes.

"Well I'll be honest. I used to be a.. a womanizer but that's way back from the past. This time I'm serious. I want to prove to your sister how much I like her." I answered.

"How am I supposed to believe you? A man should never play with a woman's heart!" He proclaimed.

What's with him and manliness?

"Well I'll agree with Elf-nii. Why should we on believe you? I mean.. I didn't mean to offend you but you said it yourself. You used to be a womanizer how can we be assured that you will not treat Mira-nee as one of your girls?" Lisanna added.

"Because she isn't." I answered with sincerity. "Although at first I never really planned to take her seriously but I realized that I have developed deep feelings towards her."

I took a deep breath.

"Just give me a chance. I promised not to waste it. Just please.." I pleaded. In my entire life I have never begged. I always get what I want with just a snap of my finger. But this time..

This time it's different.

"We are not in the place to give you a chance, its on Mira-nee's hands." Lisanna said.

I nod. "I know but I still want to ask permission from you. After all you are important for your sister, I want to prove not just to her but also to you how serious I am."

Both Strauss just remained silent for awhile, before Elfman broke the silence.

"Enough talking, just prove to us how manly you are for my sister!" He exclaimed.

"Ah Elf-nii means that it's ok. As long as you won't hurt Mira-nee it's fine with us.." Lisanna smiled at me.

I gave them a smile in return. "Thanks.."

Mirajane's P.O.V.

"Miss I ordered juice not wine!" An angry costumer complained.

"Sorry Mam we'll bring your order immediately. We are very sorry.." My manager apologizes.

After that she walked towards me and directed me to enter in the kitchen.

"Mira what's happening to you? This is the third time that a costumer complained!" She said.

"I-I'm really sorry Mam.." I said while bowing my head.

"Go home..." She ordered me which causes me look up.

"I know something is bothering you. So just go home and take a rest okay?" She said while looking at me with concern.

"I-I'm really sorry.." I repeated.

"It's fine maybe if you will take a rest you will feel better.." My manager said before walking away, leaving me feeling guilty.

Sigh. That's the reason why I'm currently walking on my way towards home. I am now taking my usual thirty minutes route, well if Laxus will just pop at my house then there's no sense it avoiding him right?

But Arggh! After my outburst and his confession I just don't know what to do anymore. I wan't him to leave me alone, to stay away from me but there some part of me wanting him to stay with me.

When I reached home I was greeted by my younger brother and sister.

And there was also a familiar blond hair.

"M-Mira.. I'll leave if you are not yet ready to talk to me, I was about to leave anyway." Laxus explained.

But before he can even stand up I quickly speak. "Stay. Let's talk." I realized that maybe if I will talk to him then it will help me to clear my mind. After all I don't want to suffer another sleepless night anymore.

He seems to be shocked by my response because he just remained silent for a while before he suddely talked "A-Are you sure?" He asked me.

To which I answered a not-so-confident "Yes."

Lisanna and Elfman went outside saying something about 'projects' and 'groceries' but I know that they just want to give us some space. To which I am grateful. We really need space.

"Mira.. I know that you are confused.." Laxus stated.

"Of course I'm confuse.. Who wouldn't?" I quickly responded. He just took a deep breath.

"Why don't you just leave me alone? Just find another girl to play with." I bellowed. "After all I'm just another girl right?" I added.

To my surprise he stood up "You. Are. Not. Just. Another. Girl" He said through greeted teeth.

"Let's not talk now, you are still angry and I understand.. I'll be back tomorrow if that's okay with you." And with that he stand up.

It was past midnight and I am still wide awake.

"M-Mira-nee?" Lisanna whom I share a room suddenly speak making me jump from my bed.

"Lisanna? It's late you should be sleeping now." I said trying to sound alright.

"Mira-nee I think he's a good guy." She said out-of-the-blue making me turn around to look at him.

"How could you said that? You don't even know him.." I asked her with a frown.

"Yeah but I can see sincerity in him. Do know that he went here to ask permission to us?" She revealed to me causing my eyes to widen.

"P-permission?" I managed to utter.

She nod. "Yes. Just give him a chance Mira-nee. I can tell that he really likes you. Goodnight." And with that she returned to sleep as if nothing happened.

A/N: The next chapter will be about Mirajane's decision (Ah finally). :D
