Chapter 17: Marriage

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.

A/N: Sigh. After re-reading all HMLF chapters I realized that it was full of mistakes. Especially chapter 14 & 15, I don't proof-read because I'm too lazy. Gomene.

YAY! Thank you for the reviews! I really really appreciate it! :D

xxxxx

U-Weeks or University Week happens once a year in my country it can be the equivalent to Japan's school festivals. Booths, Educational Tour and Contests are held.

I don't know if there are like those things in other countries so I'm just informing you. In case.

And Hey! If you have time watch this Cute MiraXus AMV. I just found it on Youtube and thought you might like it.

watch?v=UwK6OIlTnTs

Just remove the parenthesis. I advice you watch it before you read this :D

Mirajane's P.O.V

~O~

There are people who say that Disneyland is the happiest place on earth. Apparently, none of them have ever been in your arms.

~O~

I flushed upon reading another Laxus' notes. It's been three days since he sleepover at our house, and since that day we become closer and much more comfortable towards each other, mainly because we get to know each other's past. Now it is clear to me why he did those things in his past but that doesn't matter now. What matters is what he will do at present, and what he will become on the future.

Three days ago after our small story telling about our past, I woke up on Elfman's room and apparently Laxus slept on the couch. I find it embarrassing that I slept in the middle of our conversion and I don't know but I have this weird feeling that I have missed something that night. I asked him but he just shrugs it off.

"It's delicious!" Laxus exclaimed while eating the lunch I have prepared for him. Yes. Since that day involving Laxus' lunch where he is almost poisoned I took it to myself to bring an extra lunch for him since his cooking ability is quite.. disasterous.

"You'll be leaving early today right?" Laxus asked me.

"Hmm? No." I answered.

"Don't you have classes today?" Laxus' asked me with a frown. "I memorized your schedule so I know your shift and your class." He added.

He memorized it?

"Stalker." I teased him.

"Heh. Admirer is much more suitable. Stalker are for creeps." He retorted.

"Tss. It's the same." I said while sticking my tongue at him and he laughs.

"So answer my question.." He said after we finished eating.

"What question?" I asked genuinely confuse.

"Your classes today." He inquired.

"Oh it's University Week so classes are suspended, and I don't attend U-Weeks." I said as-a-matter-of-factly.

"U week huh? Back in my college life I never attended those events either. Why not attend it? It will be your last year at school." He asked.

"I just don't like it." I replied.

"I have an idea." He said and he stood up quite excitedly. "Dress up and wait for me here." He instructed.

"Wait for you?" I asked to which he simply nodded before quickly walking towards the door probably heading to his office.

After fifteen minutes, there was a knock at the closed door of the locker room (I closed it because I have to change) and when I opened it Laxus is standing with a smile on his face.

"Done? Let's go." He said.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"To your university. We will attend your university week." He answered as we reached the ground floor.

"But you still have work right?" I inquired.

"I filed a half-day." He simply replied.

The loud sound of lively music greeted us once we reached my school. Different types of people are walking around. Some are students while some are outsiders. Different booths and food carts are also scattered everywhere.

"Looks nice to me. Why don't you want to attend this event?" He asked with a raised brow.

"Because it is not required." I simply stated. "You? You told me you don't attend this kind of event too right?"

"I think it's corny." He said.

"If you think it's corny why are you here?" I asked again.

He looked at me straight in the eye before saying. "When I'm with you every second becomes entertaining."

And I flush again while he gives me his ever annoying smirk in return.

"Come. Let's take a walk around." He said before reaching my hand and clasping it with his.

We have been walking for almost fifteen minutes when suddenly a bunch of students approached us.

"Hey you are under arrest!" A guy with spiky hair said towards Laxus.

Under arrest? What is he playing here? A police?

"What do you want?" Laxus retorted stepping in front of me in a very protective manner causing the guys to back out.

"Hey relax! We own the Jail Booth and it just so happened that you step on one of our 'traps' that's why you are under arrest." A blond boy interjected.

I sigh. Aaah. Jail Booth.

"Traps?" Asked by a confused Laxus looking at his vicinity. We just kept on looking around until the brunette guy in glasses pointed at Laxus' shoes where a red piece of paper is fastened.

"Those are our so-called 'Traps' those red pieces of paper has glue on them and it is scattered around the place. Once you stepped on it, you will be jailed. As simple as that." The guy in glasses explained.

"We got it." I said.

"How do I get out of this jail?" Laxus' asked between the improvised jail bars with the other victims of the red traps. I am outside beside him.

"You have to spend fifteen minutes inside of that jail and after that someone can bail you out. You can't bail from your own money it has to be someone else." The guy in glasses explained again before leaving us.

"Pffft.." It's been almost ten minutes since he's been there and I just can't resist to laugh. He's pouting and I find him.. Cute haha.

"Go on.. Laugh Mira." He said with the same pout attached to his face sounding offended.

"What? You look cute while holding that bars, I can't help it!" I exclaimed while suppressing my laughter.

"Once I'm out I'll take my revenge." He said while looking at me darkly, and I can't help but to stick my tongue towards him.

"That is if I'll be bailing you out! Bleeh!"

After five more minutes a scowling ex-convict Laxus :D and me are now heading towards one of the food stalls.

"Hey are you mad at me?" I asked him. He's been silent for a while.

"Hmmp. You should be sad that I was jailed but no. In fact you are happy. Very happy." He answered.

"Because it is fake. Of course I will be sad if ever you will be jailed for real. Which I hope not." I defended.

"Really?" He asked looking like a lost child.

"Yes of course." I replied with a reassuring smile. After that he began talking.

"I'm tired." I said as I plop on the nearby bench.

"Yeah it is tiring." Laxus said before sitting next to me.

I closed my eyes for a while. We had lots of fun today I never thought that University Week will be this happy. Maybe I am exceptionally happy because I'm with him.

"When I'm with you every second becomes entertaining."

I flush AGAIN upon remembering his words earlier.

"Mira do you mind if we went on another booth? This will be the last." Laxus said cutting off my thoughts.

"Booth? It's fine what booth?" I asked him.

"I've seen an interesting booth somewhere earlier and I'd been dying to take you there ever since." He said.

Abruptly I stood up. "If that's the case then let's go."

"Ahh.. Could you sit here and wait for me for a while?" He asked me while scratching the back of his head.

I nod.

It's been almost half an hour since Laxus left. What's taking him so long?

Maybe he saw a beautiful girl somewhere that's why he left you.

A voice inside me suddenly popped-in. I shook my head. No. He already changed. He's not the old playboy Laxus.

"Excuse me.." A feminine voice interrupted my thoughts. When I looked up I saw two black haired cute girls.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Are you Mirajane Strauss?" The first girl with a clip on her black her asked me in return.

"Yes I am. Why?" I answered.

"Could you follow us for a while?" The other girl in ponytail asked me.

"Sorry but I am waiting for someone here." Is my polite answer.

"Don't worry he'll be with us shortly." The other girl reassured so I obediently followed them.

After some walk we reach a certain booth. A booth with two big white curtains from left and right side, with small glowing candles scattered around, a red carpet at the floor with red roses scattered in it leading to a table covered with matching white fabric, more candles, a book and behind it stood a student wearing a fake priest outfit. But what catches my attention is a blond guy standing at the table designed as altar wearing a black tuxedo looking at me intently.

Before I knew it the two girls who escorted me here are already putting a veil on top of my head. "Here.." The other girl said handing me a bundle of flowers.

And as if on cue a music began playing.

Pachelbel's Canon D.

One of my favorite classical music.

A gentle push on my back told me that I should began walking on the red carpet. With trembling feet I began to walk. I can feel every eyes on me and when I look around there's a collective crowd encircling the booth. Some are looking at me with awe, some with smiles on their faces and some faces are painted with.. is it jealousy? I don't know and for me it doesn't matter.

Once I reached the altar Laxus stepped forward immediately lending his hand in front of me. The look on his face causes me to look away temporarily. He's looking at me as if..

As if I'm the most beautiful girl in the world he had ever seen.

Instantly all of my insecurities had banished. It was replaced by something. A warm feeling that suddenly began glowing deep inside me.

"I'm sorry if it took me sometime to arrange this." He began mumbling his apology and I just nod. Having lost my ability to speak.

The student priest in front of us grunted and he began the ceremony.

"My dear fellow students, visitors or whoever you are. In front of you stood two couples who are about to be united as one." He began and I blush deep shades of red.

The student or someone playing as our ring-bearer come in front of us and gave us the rings. Our rings. A simple ring, the first one has a lock in it while the other one has the key on top.

Laxus then hold my hand took the ring with the key on top and with gentleness he slipped it on my ring finger.

"This is the key to my heart."

I did the same to him although mine is with shaky hands.

"Do you Laxus Dreyar take Mirajane Strauss as your wife to be cherished and to be loved, in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer till death do you part?" The priest asked looking at Laxus and I can't help but to look at him curious at his reaction.

"I do. I will always do." He said with sincerity.

The priest then diverted his attention towards me "Do you Mirajane Strauss take Laxus Dreyar as your husband to be cherished and to be loved, in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer till death do you part?"

I suddenly felt Laxus hand who had been holding me since the beginning tightens around mine. When I look at his face he was looking at the priest but his expression is clear.. He is nervous.

Is he nervous that I will say no?

I squeeze his hand in return before I finally looked up again at the student priest and gave my answer "I do."

I felt him gave a relieved sigh.

"I now pronounce you Man and Wife. You may now kiss the bride." The priest announced.

"KYYAAAAA!"

Gently Laxus lift up the veil covering my face and very slowly he bends down. I closed my eyes waiting for his kiss but after a minute or so there is nothing. When I opened my eyes I saw him smiling down at me.

What? Am I funny?

"You are so adorable as ever." He said and I pout at him. He's not going to kiss me.

"Smile. This is our wedding.." I was about say something when he suddenly spoke. His next words made me speechless.

"I love you Mirajane Strauss. Or should I say.. Mirajane Dreyar. My wife." He confess.

And before I knew he's kissing me already.

A/N: Wow they are married! Haha cheesy chapter. I wonder when they will be married for real. Haha.

Just so you know, I had my first internship today and I love the company! It is an International Company with its great facilities and friendly people. Plus, Animax is airing on their pantry so I guess I'll be spending most of my time in there. Hahaha.

And because of the said Internship I might not be able to update more often. Please understand.

Review Peeps!

Sincerely Yours,
