Title: Snowflakes

Chapter 2: Striking Snowflakes

Summary: After Lucy left with Natsu, Mira has a little action of her own

Pairing: Laxus/Mira

"Oi, how 'bout a drink over here?" someone from the counter yelled." Turning her attention to the voice she blushed when she saw who it was. Laxus was sitting there, an annoyed look on his face. Walking shyly over to the blonde, she gave him a sweet smile.

"Can I help you Laxus?"

"Yeah, get me something strong." he commanded, looking back to the fighting guild with bored eyes. Nodding, Mira got something that he asked for and went back to him. Mumbling a thanks, the dragon slayer took a swig of the drink before walking off into the fighting. Sighing, Mira started drying off a wet glass once again. She was the match maker, but in the end, where was her match? Laxus, she wanted her match to be him. No one else. She was always flattered by the men inside and outside of the guild. But Laxus held her heart.

"Juvia needs help Mira-san." a voice whispered making her snap out if her thoughts. Looking to the side, she saw a depressed looking bluenette slumping in her seat.

"What would that be Juvia?"

"Juvia is done waiting, Juvia want's to tell Gray-sama Juvia's feelings now. Juvia wants him to know."

Tapping her chin, she smiled as an idea came to her. "How 'bout you kiss under mistletoe? That'll wake his feelings to you. It's perfect!" Mira clapped her hands together, a sparkle in her eyes.

Smiling up at the woman, Juvia gave her a quick hug before running off to Gray who almost screamed as she tackled him to the ground. The barmaid smiled softly as she watched the couple interact. Oh, how she wished she had someone like that.

Locking up the guild, she let out a small yawn. Small flurries fell from the sky. Christmas lights shown all around her, letting her see where she was going in the middle of the night. Walking down the dark street, she hummed a small tune. Christmas Eve, she loved a bit more then Christmas itself. It's when settled down a bit. Where couples came together along with families to celebrate the holidays.

Just then, a hand clamped over her mouth making her eyes widen. Mira felt herself getting pulled down into a dark alleyway and get pushed up onto a wall. Her heart pounded against her chest. What was she going to do now? A knee shoved itself inbetween her legs, preventing her from running away. Tears welled up in her eyes. She was scared, so scared. Closing her eyes, she waited for it all to happen.

She suddenly felt the weight taken off her. Peeking open an eye, she was astonished at the sight in front of her. Laxus was beating up the guy as the he screamed. When the man was knocked unconscious. Stiffening under his gaze, she stood silently as he walked up to her. Kneeling down to her eye level, he spoke softly which surprised the girl much. "Are you okay?"

She nodded, still stiff. Letting out a sigh in relief, he grabbed her wrist and started to drag her away. "L-Laxus?" she stammered, wondering what he was doing.

Bringing a finger up to his mouth, he shushed her. "Just be quiet." Closing her mouth, she let herself be dragged off.

After a couple of minutes she realized that they were going to the center of town. "Laxus?" she whispered, suspicion growing. Pulling her under a big tree, he held her hands as he bent down on one knee. Gasping, she looked at him bewildered. "Laxus, get back up."

"No, I have to do this if I want to propose to you."

Eyes widening, she looked at the man with teary eyes. "What?"

"Mira," the blonde started, shifting in his spot a bit. "It's been years since we've known each other. Everyday since I met you, I wanted to tell you how much I really liked you. But soon enough, that liking turned into love. I know we've never dated, but I don't need to date you to know that I love you. I've been struggling over these days to tell you this, but it's been harder every day. But I've decided now is a good time. Mira Strauss, will you do me the honor and marry me?"

Tears streamed down her cheeks. Other people watched, waiting for her to answer. She nodded, smiling weakly. "Yes," she whispered as the clock turned twelve. People cheered as the blonde slipped the ring on. Standing up, he kissed her softly on the lips.

"Thank you."

She smiled. "Merry Christmas, Laxus."

"Merry Christmas, Mira."
