Chapter 6:

Oh my, I just realized my epic fail! I'm not finished watching Fairy Tail yet and together I watched episode 98...and realized that Freed is afraid of girls in bikinis...oops...if I had know that earlier, I would have made him more ashamed. On the other end, in OVA 5 he didn't mind being surrounded by half naked girls either, huh...

Anyway. To respond to a guest's review: I just meant that Freed's house is really pretty. I would expect a bachelor's home to be rather handy and like 'Well, it still works, so I keep it, no matter if it looks good or not', but that's just my opinion.

Oh, and Mira could of course handle Zeus on her own. But I preferred Freed getting jealous and kicking his ass. I guess that's what nearly every girl wants deep down: Being protected by a handsome gentleman.

This will be the last chapter – unless you want an epilogue, it would be a Fairy Tail day in a water park. So if you want Freed and Mira to ride the love water slice, please let me now.

Sorry for the long note, here is the sixth chapter.

Mira's eyes widened. Sh knew that she should feel insulted, she was an S-class wizard after all and stronger than Freed, but he still had stood up to protect her honour. And now...now this. His lips were on her's, perfectly soft and smooth. It wasn't a deep or passionate kiss, rather the cute one of a man who wasn't used to this at all. Mira still liked it. When the green haired man drew back, he had a massive blush on his face and fiddled his fingers. It was really cute actually and she took his hand, smiling at him in a reassuring way.

"So...you?", Zeus stuttered. Freed collected himself and looked at him arrogantly.

"Yes. Seems like a woman like Mira isn't way over my standards, don't you think?"

The blonde man huffed and crossed his arms in front of his broad chest. Freed: 1, Zeus: 0.

"Mira? Do we want to go then? Unless you have something else to do here", Freed said, pride in his voice.

"Yeah, sure. Bye, Zeus, see you next week." This time she didn't kiss his cheeks, but merely waved at him before walking out with Freed, hands still locked.

They were silent all the time until they reached Mira's house.

"Do you want to eat with me? You must be hungry after your first photo shoot."

Oh, he was indeed. Again a mental slap.

"Um...yeah, why not. But don't make something too wasteful."

"I would never!", Mira exclaimed with a giggle, knowing that this was a lie. They walked into the house and Freed looked around.

"Don't worry, Elfman and Lisanna aren't here. They're probably at the guild hall, my dear brother secretly staring at Evergreen and and Lisanna trying to pair people off."

"Yeah...", Freed said, deep in his thoughts. There was a pause while Mira started to cut vegetable, her guest joining her without a comment, until he spoke again.

"I'm sorry."

"Huh?", Mira 'asked', looking up.

"I shouldn't have intervened earlier, it was none of my business. I'm sorry if I ruined anything or so..." He rubbed his neck.

"No...it's okay. I'm not interested in Zeus I could have handled him myself, but...it was okay like this. You really were jealous, huh?"

"Yeah", he muttered, looking at the ground.

"And I'm sorry for kissing you too. It wasn't appropriate."

"Well...I didn't mind it..."

Freed looked up again, the knife in his hand halfway cut through a carrot.

"R-Really?"

"Yes. I...I like you."

"Y-You do?!"

She giggled, putting a hand on his arm.

"Is it so hard to believe?"

"Well...um...yes, somehow. Like like like?" (Author's note: Mindfuuuuck)

"Oh my, you don't want to believe it, don't you? Freed Justine, I'm in love with you. There. Clear enough?"

He stood there and stared. And stared. And stared. And maybe he even opened and closed his mouth like a suffocating fish. Maybe means he totally did. Mirajane next to him got an unsure expression. Had she been too straight? He was a little shy after all...

"Mira...I...I l-love you too", he finally stuttered, cheeks still red. Mira smiled widely and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a hug.

"Good to her that."

He wrapped his arms around her small waist hesitantly. She was so small and soft – simply perfect. Then he tightened his grip, lifted her up and whirled her around a few times.

"Freed!"

He let her down again, still hugging her.

"Sorry. Just had to do this."

"No...no problem. Oh my, why don't you just kiss me when you're happy? No, instead you have to nearly kill me..."

Freed smiled and stroked her cheek before he indeed kissed her.

Two days later the freshly formed couple entered the Fairy Tail guild hall, holding hands. Cana gave them a thumbs-up before concentrating on drinking again and the rest of the guild applauded or whistled loudly.

"Now it's official! Freed is not gay!", one of the men yelled and got a death glance by the green haired man. He guided his princess to the bar and sat down.

Suddenly Lucy screamed next to them.

"OH MY GOD!"

"Something wrong?", Mira asked confused and looked at Lucy, who hopped up and down on her seat. The she saw it. The blonde girl was having the new Sorcerer Magazine in her hands.

"You are in here! Not only Mira, but Freed! Together! And ooooh, you are so sexy!"

Juvia came over, a sad expression on her face, and looked into the magazine.

"And my Gray still refuses me! It is so unfair!". She bursts into tears, but no one really cared as she did that about five times a day. Freed took a closer look at the photos. He ha to admit that they looked really good. And who had a picture of his their first close moments with their girlfriend? He would cut the photo out and put it into his wallet. Without anyone knowing it, of course, but then he could have his love with himself all the time.

Elfman put an arm around his shoulders, smiling widely.

"Now my big sis finally found someone. But remember, a real man treats his lady in the best way possible!" He looked at Evergreen at the other end of the room and Mira giggled.

"Now go talk to her" She gave him a light push into the woman's direction.

That's how things worked in Fairy Tail. They were all a big family.

Taddaa! I hope you liked it. It was fun writing this and you were amazingly kind readers. Not one comment about the mistakes I probably made! Hahaha.

Remember to review and tell me if you want the sequel/epilogue.
