DISCLAIMER: I don't own fairy tail
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Bells. He was wearing bells. The great Laxus Dreyar was wearing bells.
Honestly sometimes Laxus cursed the little blond celestial mage he was dating, he would do anything to keep her smiling, which meant a lot of embarrassment for him, but this, this topped the cake.
Not only had Lucy convinced him to dress up as one of Santa's elves for Fairy Tails annual Christmas festival but he had to do it in front of people – people who usually respected and even feared him a little, were now laughing at him, albeit not to his face but he could still hear it. The costume he could deal with – the green and red stripes may not have looked good on him but hey it was Christmas and he preferred this than helping out with food, drinks and carnival games and attractions – if he did that he would be wearing his Christmas sweater – the one that Lucy bought him – with the embarrassing snow man couple under mistletoe. On Lucy's sweater the female snow man was saying something about Christmas being a time for family but on his the male snow man was telling a really cheesy Christmas joke – so cheesy that just thinking it gave him indigestion.
Even the tights that came with the costume he was fine with, mainly because it showed his muscle and he knew every time Lucy looked over she would start blushing and he was enjoying seeing her get flustered – especially since this was her idea.
The ears, pointy hat and pointy shoes he could put up with, it looked better with the whole costume on, any semblance of normal everyday clothing or his normal rounded ears would probably make him look more ridiculous – as though he dressed up as an elf for fun. Heck even the over-the-top cheery smile he had to keep on at all times was preferable to this.
To help with illusion that this was actually Santa instead of his grandfather in a 20J suit from the costume shop, the people playing the elves had been given names, Lucy was sweet cheek and so had red circles painted on her cheeks and was wearing pastel colours to look like candy, levy was blue berry and was wearing a costume with shades of blue, Natsu and Gray – who surprisingly hadn't destroyed anything yet – were Toot and Tinsel respectively, their costumes being similar to Laxus', Natsu having a trumpet stitched on to his hat and Gray having red tinsel lining his hat and sleeves. Even Gajeel looked fine, referred to as Tinker he had little tools stitched all over his costume and despite the fact that his name meant kids called him Tinkerbell Laxus would have preferred that to his. Laxus, or jingle, as he was being called today, had little silver bells on the tips of his shoes, all over his hat and on his sleeves and collar. He couldn't move without them jingling away, which caused all the kids nearby to giggle and sing jingle bells at the top of their lungs.
Laxus hated the little bells – sure he could handle hearing something like a church bell – but little silver bells that jingled as he moved, he hated them, and since he was the one in charge of lifting all the little kids on to Santa's lap, he not only had the kids playing with the bells but he also had sticky fingers all over him too.
He really needed to learn how to say no to Lucy, if he wanted to have any pride by the time he reached 30.
"Laxus, could you give me a hand, one of the kids just spewed up but I promised Levy I would help her bring over more sacks of candy canes!"
"yeah sure, I will be right over" placing the kid he was currently holding on to his grandfathers lap he headed over to where his girlfriend had indicated shaking his head, he really, really needed to learn how to say no, maybe he could ask Gajeel for some tips. Scratch that he thought as he watched Gajeel say yes to Levy's question to handle a puddle of wee that one of the kids let out when he saw Santa. The two powerless boyfriends locked eyes for a second and shook their heads in despair before turning back to their respective puddles.
AN: Okay so I realise that these have been from Laxus point of view but they wont all be, it just depends on the lyrics, but I have the idea that laxus would say yes to anything Lucy asked of him which would mean that he would be doing a lot of things that really didn't suit him or he had never done before. And the idea of laxus dressing up as an elf is hilarious.
