Mornings of the Agents
"Gray are you ready to go?" said a blue haired woman getting up from her side of the bed covering herself with the white sheet. They had finally arrived at the place where their old colleagues were last seen and the two spent the night at the hotel. The raven haired man rolled over wrapping his arms around his partner's waist surprising his girlfriend. "Gray-sama!"
Gray raised a brow before getting up and whispering in her ear. "I thought I told you not to call me that, Juvia."
Juvia shivered at her name before turning her head to apologize only to have her lips captured by her lover's. When they broke apart for air, Juvia blushed. "Gray-sam-"
Then she saw the mischievous dark look in his eyes. Juvia gulped. She was in trouble.
"Remember that promise you made?" Gray said casually.
Slowly the blue haired woman nodded remembering the first time she went to a mission with him alone.
Juvia was nervous as she and the raven haired man next to her were briefed on a mission to secure a package. This was her first time out in the field and with the man she admired. Juvia had to impress him or at least try not to make a fool out of herself as his partner. Then she heard Gray-sama ask, "Are you nervous?"
"H-hai."
"I know it isn't easy moving from training to the real world, Juvia."
"Thank you for your concern, but I'll be fine. Gray-sama." Juvia noticed he frowned at the 'sama' at the end of his name. "Why do you call me that?"
"Pardon?"
"The 'sama' after my name...It's not like I'm on a higher rank than you or a rich man. Plus we're friends right?"
Juvia shifted. "Gray-sam-"
"Promise me you won't say that again."
"Why?"
"Cause...we're partners now."
"What if I slip up?" Juvia asked as Gray pondered for a moment then grin and said, "Then...I'll have to punish you."
Gray captured her lips once more. Knowing it was useless to resist, Juvia wrapped her arms around hie neck as Gray pulled her into the bed once more.
I awoke to the alarm as I noticed that Lucy was gone. I called out for her "Luce?"
There was no answer, I slowly got up pulling out the drawer of my nightstand and took out my Glock. I quietly placed it inside the pocket of my robe with my finger on the safety. Once I reached the kitchen I found a note from Lucy saying that she was going to shop along with a plate of bacon and eggs. I smiled before pulling up a chair and ate the bacon and eggs. When I placed the newly clean dishes on the rack and decided to take a little nap on the couch. Then I took a little trip down memory lane...
It was raining that day I walked into to the office with two cups of coffee. I saw Lucy there working on the report for our last mission at her desk. I greeted her with a smile and handed her the other cup of coffee. She was always like this whenever we got back from missions. We talked with ease like we were childhood friends even though we had only known each other for about two months and we had gotten into a routine of chatting while working. I noticed Lucy had fallen asleep with her head resting on her crossed arms as I finished up my part of the report. Swiftly, I took off my black jacket with soft fake fur edged on the collar and placed it around her shoulders. I printed out my report while getting lunch from P.F. Chang's.
After a while Lucy woke up just when I had gotten a call from Laxus to haul ass into the briefing room. She rubbed her eyes mumbling as I ended the call, "What time is it?"
"Around noon." Lucy abruptly shot her head up with a shout, "Why didn't you wake me?! I didn't even have lunch yet!"
I held up the take out as Lucy stared at me for a good minute then demanded, "Who are you and what have you done with Natsu?"
Lightly chuckling, I said as she grabbed her spring rolls from the bag. "Still a weirdo as ever."
Lucy grumbled the something I couldn't make out as we ran to the briefing room. Even though it was unhealthy we didn't want to be late, since we were professionals. Once we reached the briefing room we were given a mission that involved a drug dealer, a nightclub, and Lucy getting close to that scumbag. Obviously, we argued about it on the way there in the Agency's Ferrari, Laxus made it his duty to provide us with awesome cars when we went out to the field.
After a few minutes of puking in an alley, I followed Lucy through the crowd not before I grabbed her hand. My weird and oblivious partner tapped the specially made earpiece that Levy had invented in the form of a heart shaped earring.
"I'll be fine." She tried to reassured me as Lucy disappeared into the crowd. I ordered a bottle of rum and poured myself a drink while surveying the crowd for the drug dealer. I spotted him with Lucy dancing on the dance floor. Anger sparked within me. Wait, why am I getting worked up over something so trivial? Somewhere deep in my dense mind I knew... I knew that I was in love with my partner.
"That was quick." I mumbled while following them to the back of the nightclub. When they reached the back into the V.I.P room a pair of guys in suits who I assumed were bodyguards stopped me. We stared at each other for a few minutes neither of us budging so I sighed. "I guess it'll be the hard way then."
Then I slammed my fist into the bodyguard that was nearest to me. I still felt a little wasted, but that didn't stop me from kicking these guys asses. After disposing the five bodyguards I went after Lucy feeling an a panic rise within the turmoil of my heart. Being the reckless man (and well known for doing stuff like this) I went through every room not ashamed of barging in on a disturbing scene, or a 'private' poker game till I found Lucy underneath the drug dealer in lumpy bed. All I could see was red. My hand somehow found it way to the drug dealer's head and I threw him onto the wooden table then turned to Lucy demanding, "Did he touch you?"
"Well yes..." Then she saw my face most likely filled with irritation and hers soon became red and she stuttered. "N-no! Not like that!"
"Good." I said before glaring at the dealer who had just recovered from the throw. He froze in fear as I asked Lucy, "What were we suppose to do with him again?"
Lucy frowned. "Weren't you listening? We had to 'dispose' of him."
"It's my turn this time right?" I took out my Colt as the scumbag laid there silently knowing that if he ran or try to take Lucy hostage I'd probably break every bone in his body and still put a bullet through his head. Only if Lucy didn't get to him first.
Lucy nodded. "I'll call Mira."
All I could hear the sound of a bullet ringing through the nightclub.
Mira sighed while looking through the a certain file that was labeled confidential of a certain case. It was late at night and Laxus had already gone to bed or at least so the white haired beauty hoped. The 'Demon' ran her hands through her hair in burning frustration.
"After all these years, I still can't remove myself from this case." said Mirajane glaring at the reports and photos of that horrific event that happened way before Natsu and Lucy had been recruited. The event cause the death of her husband's grandfather, Makarov, the current head of the agency at the time, Gildarts, one of their best operatives, along with Elfman, her brother who had been in one of the crossfires. Mirajane wanted to obliterate something, but it was going to be her expensive vase with daisies that was right on top of the dining room table that she was now sitting at. She could have done something, yet was too injured at the time to do so.
In the end, Laxus succeeded Makarov, and with Mira's help he restored what was left of the Agency. The duo started to recruit people with extraordinary talents while in hopes of finding the man that murdered Makarov, and bringing him to justice.
"Mira?" The woman in question cursed silently in her mind before looking up and seeing her husband with a roused spiky blonde hair and a robe covering himself.
"Did I wake you?" She asked while closing the file as Mira got out of her seat. Laxus shook his head before walking up to her and slowly embracing her into his arms before glancing at the file. "Still can't get over it?"
Mirajane stiffened a little before she nodded slowly. Laxus said gruffly while opening the file, "We could have gone under disguise."
"...It was the best decision to make. They weren't involved with the incident and they're perfectly capable of bringing her back after all they're the Celestial Dragon Duo. Also...he knows us better than anyone. We...I couldn't take that risk. After Jellal was one of us."
Laxus stiffened at her last words. The blonde haired man had once considered that guy to be one of them, but not after he saw that bastard with a gun and his grandfather's cold body. Mira noticed that he was shaking not in fear, but pure rage. It took her a few minutes to calm Laxus down before the two went back to bed.
Mira couldn't help, but look back at the file seeing pictures that meant a number of things. Evidence, a normal life, a gleaming future, and a past none of them will forget. In one of those those pictures she saw a muscular blonde man leaning against the wall of a bar with a beer bottle in his hand, a curvy scarlet haired woman kissing a blushing blue haired man, and a white haired smiling at the person who took the photo.
We can't go back to those times now...
