Laxus Dreyar

His Drink

A small bump in and you feel face forward on the floor.

"Oh my goodness!!" Someone's quiet voice squealed from behind you, "I am so sorry!"

You rose to your feet, getting back into balance, "It's alright, Kinana. Natsu and Gray again?"

She smiled at you, "Yeah."

You were about to smile back when your eyes widened, "Duck!!"

The both of you fell down to the floor just as a beam of ice shot over your heads and froze Elfman in place.

You looked over at Kinana and began to giggle when she had her hand pressed to her mouth, muffling her cute laughter.

"You both!"

You jolted up.

Mirajane had recruited both you and Kinana to help out with the bar and you weren't helping her right now.

Rushing over to behind the counter, Kinana handed you a straw to push into a shake and you did.

"Here," A smiling Mirajane handed you a tray with a towering cup of beer in it, "This is for Laxus."

"Right," You were on your way out before flinching when you realized which person's name she'd said, "Oh no. Laxus?!"

Mirajane looked over at you from where she stood with the dishes, "Yes. Why? What's wrong?"

You gaped at her trying to express what you were thinking without sounding mean or stupid, "He... uh, um, Mira...he's... Laxus is kind of... scary?"

Mira blinked before dissolving into giggles, "He's not really! You need to talk to him properly then."

You knew this was not going well.

"Now you have to go!!" Her tone was gleeful as she pushed you out from behind the counter into the fighting, noisy guild hall's lounge.

You shuddered slightly when you caught glimpse of the tall, muscular man leaning into a huge arm chair, waiting for his drink.

Balancing the tray in your hand, you cut through the arguing boys, passed over the drinking Cana, the drunk Macao and Wakaba, and a passed out Happy, Jet and Droy.

You were almost in sight of the man when he looked up.

There was a huge crashing sound behind you and loud laughter.

You turned around just in time to see an injured Gray, beaten up by Natsu, flying straight toward you.

All you could do was flinch and wait for the impact when a crack of lightning split through the room and threw Gray back straight onto a shouting Natsu.

You blinked when a strong arm reached over you to lift the drink.

"Thanks," Laxus turned away to go back to sitting in his chair, "Be careful gettin' through these clowns."

You only nodded before hurrying back to Mirajane, your trusted leader, who seemed overly eager and thirsty to hear all the details.
