In the Eastern Magnolia Forest, the sound of birdsong was quickly drowned out by the dull sound of a distant waterfall. In that place, on a small stone, two guys and a blue cat were sitting with their legs tucked under them. Happy sighed with displeasure and caught fish, Natsu generally snored and began blowing bubbles with his nose. Aidan, on the other hand, was enjoying the silence of the forest as he waited for a quick prey.
“The pure harmony of nature, filled with the deafening breath of life ... It calms, but even this does not help, enough time has passed, the appeal is not far off. Even though it’s only a month before the senior wizard exam, I’m afraid I have just that much time left. I hate to turn a test of ability into a survival game ... ”After a quiet sigh, Aidan chuckled. In fact, he was already calm about his problems. Lately he has learned patience. Therefore, now, when it was time to leave, he was just calmly fishing with Natsu, knowing full well that he would leave Magnolia and head towards Galuna that night.
In fact, along with a slight sadness of separation, he was finally glad of his opportunity to act. Unfortunately, Leon never showed up, Deliora hadn't arrived yet, which was perhaps the only problem in this situation, besides the loss of time and speedy treatment.
“Well, in the end I've waited so long, I’ll wait ...” - continuing to fish, Aidan yawned and turned to Natsu:
“It's curious how these dragons managed to hide themselves so much, even I can barely feel their presence ... This is probably due to the fact that they influence their students even now. If I didn’t know about them, I wouldn’t take it to heart at all and would write off everything on the unique magic of the Assassins ”
Aidan wanted to talk to the dragons that were sitting inside Natsu and Wendy, if possible, but still understood that there were more important things to do now.
The waterfall continued to cut through the peaceful silence ...
- Natsu, get up! The Dragon! - Aidan shouted sharply, right in the boy's ear.
- BUT?! - he jumped up: - What !? Where?!
Chuckling, the wizard pulled out a large fish from his bucket:
- Hold Happy.
- BUT?! - the cat did not even have time to understand what was happening, as the fish slapped him on the head and he fell with her into the nearest bush.
- To stand! I will eat you! - the cat began to fight with a rather impressive and dexterous fish, while Natsu sighed with displeasure:
- I never caught anything ...
- You need to sleep less.
Suddenly the guy turned around:
- Wendy?
- BUT? Where? - Natsu began to look around, when suddenly a cute little girl came out from behind the foliage and waved:
- Brother! Natsu! Hey!
Aidan smiled warmly and called this cutie closer. Stroking his little sister, he asked:
- How is Cana?
- We just got back, probably resting. - Wendy smiled happily, her eyes sparkled with happiness when her brother stroked her.
Very soon, a group of friends returned to the guild. Surprisingly, it turned out to be quite crowded here today. Aidan looked around carefully, visibly surprised by the situation.
- Hmm ... What are they? Is it some kind of holiday?
- B-brother ... Well, you're leaving soon, so we decided ...
Wendy was not given an answer as Macau's laughter echoed through the guild.
- Ha ha ha! Aidan, today we drink to you!
- Let's drink!
- Let's drink!
The entire guild was immediately heard loud shouts. This time, they decided to escort another senior wizard as they should. Then Aidan finally understood why lately everyone was behaving so strangely and did not go on assignments. Even Gray, after a recent affair with Aidan, decided to take a break.
"So they planned it all ..." - involuntarily smiling, the guy looked at his friends aside:
- So you...
- Not! - Suddenly Mira came up and immediately put her thin finger to his lips:
“Fairy Tail isn’t supposed to say goodbye, we’ll just celebrate a quick meeting!”
- That's it! - Cana laughed and began to empty the barrel of booze in one gulp. Gray flinched at such a sight:
- Damn, how much does it fit?
While his friends were laughing around Aidan, he continued to smile, the warmest feelings lurked in his smile. For him, parting always seemed like something difficult, but still there is no place for sadness in this guild ...
"Yes, I would have such carelessness ..." - chuckling, the guy hugged Wendy and stroked little Charlie. Today he wanted to spend as much time with loved ones as possible.
The fun was not going to end, but someone had already started to brawl ...
During the last week, Aidan enjoyed Erza and Kana's company, although he wanted to be with Mira as well, but for some reason she continued to avoid him. Finally today he met her again. Even if the noise and din reigned in the guild, he made his way through the crowd and came closer to the girl:
- Hello. - he didn’t even know where to start, unlike the others, Cana didn’t have fun. Natsu got into a fight with Gray for a long time, and Erza continued to scold them with displeasure. But Mira didn't interfere.
When the fight broke out in full, Elfman also intervened and then it began ... Then even Erza was no longer sitting on the sidelines. Booze and tables and chairs flew all over the guild. Shouts and laughter must have thundered all over Magnolia.
Mira looked down awkwardly and nodded.
- Hello...
Aidan sat down next to him and, admiring the cheerful fight of his friends, waved to smiling Kana, and then said:
- I came to you yesterday ... You ...
“I was busy,” Mira answered shortly: “And what did you need?
The guy paused, and then sighed:
- I think after Akane, we somehow have everything ... It stopped.
- You think so? - asked the sorceress with a sarcastic grin: - And who is to blame for this?
- Hmm, - Aidan tensed, and then nodded: - You're right ... Looks like I didn't try hard enough. But you ran away too, didn't you?
“Well,” Mirajane bit her lip and lowered her head. “I just ... I’m somehow uncomfortable. After that time ...
- So are you afraid?
- I'm not afraid! - the girl snorted irritably: - W-just ... Cana and this arrogant they are so honest, and I ...
- You are wonderful, - Aidan smiled tenderly: - Our "not date" went perfectly, I wanted to repeat, but when I came, your sister always said that you were not at home. I understand, I already have Kana and Erza, you probably despise me for this ... I confess, I myself do not know how to be ... I like you three very much, I do not want to hurt you, but reason tells me that this is not allowed, while these two insist that everything is in order ...
With a heavy sigh, Aidan shook his head.
- Forgive me for that ... I'm like a child who was taught that several girls are bad. But ... - turning sharply to the girl, Aidan confidently said:
- I want this to continue, everything that happened between us, I do not want to end like this. At least I ... If you are disgusted to be with such a person, I understand.
Mira continued to blush in embarrassment, while her eyes trembled incessantly, she stared at the guy and did not know how to express her feelings.
"P-moron and why are you saying that ... I ... I ..." - clenching her fists, Mira exhaled sharply and resolutely replied:
- I want to!
- Do you want?
- W-well ... - Mira has grown stiff again: - I want to continue. I ... I’m not going to say that I’m delighted with the know-it-all or your relationship with this Cana, but ... I, I want to ... B-be with you.
- BUT? - the guy's eyes instantly sparkled: - Seriously?
- Fool! I won't tell you ten times! Mirajane stood up abruptly and grunted in annoyance.
- I am enraged by the girls curling around you! If at least one of them prevents me from being with you, know that I will rip her head off!
“Uh, I get it,” Aidan waved his hands nervously. “You shouldn't throw such threats ...
- Hmm, - the girl stretched out her lips and thoughtfully looked away: - You know, today, before you leave, I'll just let you kiss me.
- Wow!
- Do not "wow" me here! - Mira blushed deeply and stamped her foot: - You are a fool, that's all! I went!
“Um,” the guy didn’t have time to say a word, as the sorceress, pushing everyone on the way, decided to beat some poor fellow.
The sound of broken bones echoed eerily throughout the guild ...
"Yeah ... who would have thought" - sighing, the guy thought:
"What a piercing she is ... Such a cutie!"
At sixteen, Mira did not at all resemble the grown-up and gentle girl she would become in just a few years. More often than not, she hid her feelings, and only with Aidan did she show her amazingly charming side.
- Helpeeeee!
However, her rigidity sometimes frightened ...
