          HIS IDLE PATTERN OF WALKING CEASED, the moment he found himself standing in front of the wooden doorframe that leads to the TRANQUILITY of his own place. With one hand, he had grasped the miniscule inanimate object, and thereafter– he would RAISE said occupied hand, placing the thin object inside the keyhole. Twisting it, and once having a CLICKING sound echoing the atmosphere, he pushed the door forward, allowing himself to enter the four concrete walls that he so longed for. It has been a long day.

                                       —— ! ! ?

          And yet, the first thing to take notice, wasn’t the tidiness of this place; but rather, the PRESENCE that did it, sans his knowledge. Not that he had any complaints to reveal, considering the fact that this was a NECESSITY that had to happen at some point. And Evergreen happened to be the one to do the task. And he was BEHOLDEN for that.

                    ❛ —- This time you get a pass. ❜

          Normally he would display his DISLIKING towards having people invading his personal space, without his approval. So, this was A RARE EXCEPTION.

[sutonaisu]

     "Aren't you happy to see me, Laxus?"  Legs clad in tights were crossed, and so had been her arms until she broke her posture to throw her voluminous hair over her shoulders in a quite random gesture.

      Truth be told, she'd almost definitely been certain that she would be greeted with indifference at best - at least for the first moment of Laxus processing that she had entered his house without him knowing and giving permission. He wasn't a fan of this kinda stuff and if she was honest then there were times where all of them, no matter how close they were, preferred it not to be astonished with such random visits.

      Either way, she was here, and for a reason. Confidence lingered in her expressive eyes but the smile she shot his way was less convincing. It was bound to crumble - sooner rather than later.

     "Alright, alright. I couldn't get Freed on the phone and Bixlow is on his solo mission. I knew you would return soon so I came here..." The words didn't quite leave her lips yet, however the indication should be obvious; she wanted to talk to somebody. Or at least be in somebody's company. And not just anybody's company.

[xfulmen]

She's busy beautifying her three boys with cute flowercrowns right now and there is no escape, don't even try (well, Bixlow doesn't protest at least).

                                                 —– ! ! !

          THE ABRUPT MOVEMENTS OF THE BEAUTEOUS FAIRY, CAUGHT HIM OFF GUARD. Thick eyebrows were lifted, as tints of fire opal were wider than usual. Eventually, bewilderment was engraved upon masculine visage. A drop of perspiration surfaced upon the flesh of his forehead, strolling down his cheeks afterwards.

          It was not a secret that Evergreen was fond of plantry, especially flowers. Thus, something as innocent as a crown made out of flowers, shouldn’t come off as a surprise. Yet, virile characteristics upon his face BETRAYED of such.

          And seemingly, he wasn’t the only one with the role of a victim in this PLAY. Hurling a glance at the rest of his devoted comrades– no other than Freed Justine and Bickslow, he could spot a variety of vibrant colors in a row, acting as a subtle ornamentation upon their heads. HELL, even the scent was quite vivid, as well. Or perhaps, this was due to his enhanced olfaction, for being a mage  that wields dragon slayer magic. Either way, it was a rather comical view to behold.

          Allowing the features of facade to rest, consequently– his expression altered. But what what raised the element of surprise to a high pedestal, was the fact that no customary unamusement or disinterest that could be witnessed from his face. Lieu, he offered a far more GENTLE expression. Quite indecipherable at some point; yet he was aware of his actions. Talk about a RARITY. Furthermore, he leaned his structure forwards, closer to her existence— just enough to be on a similar height with hers. That was his way of beckoning towards her to act accordingly; even if it meant to position a SIMPLISTIC FLOWER CROWN atop his blond strands.

          Laxus wasn’t reputed to demonstrate such types of sentiment. In fact, he would disregard them from his face, most of the time. Only UNDER RARE CIRCUMSTANCES, you would catch the almighty displaying such behaviour, especially for anyone to view at. But the only individuals that he was surrounded at this moment were the Thunder God Tribe, hence he made the decision to loosen up, and EXTINGUISH THE AUSTERITY THAT HIS FACE WAS ACCUSTOMED TO. Moments like this were significant. Simplicity at excellence, but it was worth it.

          And he remained silent, letting actions speak louder than words. After all, words appeared to be unnecessary in this occasion. He had already gestured at her to do as she wishes. And he wouldn’t take away such MOMENTOUSNESS from her.

someone asked whether I could upload this panel from the thing separately so yeah here we go

sorry, no running away, everyone gets a flower crown.

It was late and the storm had continued to rage over their city. Elfman was currently walking rather fast to a certain location. The flowers in his hands were welted and tore to pieces due to the rain. His suit wet and muddy. “ This.. is not how I planned it..”

He softly knocked on the door, afraid to straddle her. What if she was asleep? What if she wasn’t home.? His mind raced once again  before he went to turn. “ This is stupid.. I shouldn’t have done this..” / @sutonaisu

[sutonaisu]

      Ugh, she'd just been ready to get her good night's sleep. The storm raging outside was hardly an issue, it wouldn't keep her from getting any rest, and for a moment she considered to just ignore the knocking on her door. What if it was one of her friends, though? What if something happened? Those thoughts were what kept her from following through with her initial idea and so she stepped towards the door and opened it. "I swear if it isn't impo- Elfman?"

      She wasn't prepared. Evergreen lost her face, incapable of keeping her exasperated mien. Her brown eyes swerved over the tall man, if only seeing his back right now. He was wearing a suit but it was mud-laced and drained from the heavy rain and suddenly, she felt another sting of guilt. This feel... it hadn't been leaving her for weeks. Why was she doing this to him?

[dailydccu]

[sutonaisu]

He is not impressed with you, young lady. Not at all.

@xfulmen

      Ugh… She was familiar with this look, so very familiar. But whilst others would possibly feel intimidated Evergreen was able to hold the lightning mage’s gaze and stand her ground. For now.

      All three of her closest friends were male, and all three of them tended to act like an older brother to her. An annoying older brother or a caring older brother or… and overprotective older brother. Oh jesus, she was twenty-three now! Bixlow was two years older, Laxus was three years older and Freed, her team captain on top of that, was the same age as her for crying out loud! When would they stop acting like she needed to be handled with utter care? At least in situation like the current one, and goodness had the encounter with Laxus been awkward.

      A tad bit of nervouness flowing through her veins after all Ever shifted her weight over to her other foot. It wasn’t the fact that he had caught her only wearing lingerie - she didn’t care about that! Laxus was… ugh yea, and there it was again (oh man her thoughts were betraying her - how ironic), like an older brother to her. She loved him with everything she had and swore to protect him with body and soul.

      No, what she did care about, what did have her upset was that he appeared in her bedroom just like that, as if it was the most normal way to act. And that he was giving her such a look now, as if she’d committed some sort of crime! What if she’d had a visitor! Not that this was actually a realistic happening… unless she would have been on such a level with Elfman already (and now she was thinking of the big oaf? ugh!). The mere thought of becoming intimate in a casual, random encounter had her skin crawl. If she was going to be intimate with somebody at any point… then it would be with somebody she trusted entirely and cared for on a certain level.

     “W-What is it, Laxus?!” Slender arms conjoined, covering her chest in a defensive posture. Puffing out her cheeks unconsciously for a moment Ever ended up averting her brown gaze, eyebrows furrowing in a feel of slight exasperation and embarrassment.

      She hated disappointing Laxus but they both had to realize that this was a situation he had no right of scolding her for. None! She understood that this was happening because he cared for her well-being and safety but… she was an adult! She was able to take care of herself just fine! She was a strong woman! All of them knew that!

     “Ugh, if you really need to know- the picture was meant for Cana. I just wanted to share what I bought and get her opinion, okay? That’s all!”

ooc;; she’s so pretty

      It wasn’t a rarity to witness members of the clamorous Guild being under the influence of alcohol. Considerable amount of booze would be consumed by a vast number of them, accompanied such action with boisterous laughter and exhilaration. Keeping their minds away from any disturbances that might occur in the future, or had already transpired. It felt like as if they had a celebration of another victory added in their archive. 

       And of course, the Thunder God Tribe had to partake as well.

      Hues of fire opal were concentrated on the sight in front of him. His most faithful comrades were in a ludicrous situation. Laughable, almost. For starers, there was Freed spitting out incoherent words about the omnipotence manifested, whilst trying to keep his balance upon the table that he decided it was a brilliant idea, to get into. Then, it was Bixlow, who was laying down the same table, unable to muster any strength to move a limb, let alone; speak a word. But there’s more; the position that his body took was beyond imagination— part of his existence shouldn’t bend like this, and his unnecessarily long tongue shouldn’t be making contact with the dirty floor.

      And then, there was Evergreen.

      It was astonishing to see her able to stand on her feet any even attempt to make a few steps. It wouldn’t come off as a surprise if she were to make contact with the ground, and remain there for the rest of the night, mimicking the seith mage’s posture. 

      But that was something that Laxus couldn’t let it happen. And so, he took the liberty to move closer to her. The moment he stood right in front of her was the moment where one arm was placed around her waist, assisting in staying still. However, what made this occasion rather unpleasant was the odour that was oozing from the stone mage. The vivid smell of alcohol. And having a common ability such as olfaction enhanced by several times, thanks to his Dragon Slayer magic, it made it even worse. Susceptible lips parted, allowing a sigh to evade them. Musculine characeristics upon his visage saturated annoyance— this was getting a bit too bothersome.

❛ —- I think you’ve had enough, already. ❜

      Silly woman.

[sutonaisu]

ooc;; does Evergreen think that Elfman is too good for her? that she’ll only end up hurting him? yes, yes she does.

[sutonaisu]

" Why are you avoiding me, Ev? You usually tell me what's on your mind.. What did I do wrong?"/elfmcn

@elfmcn

      Evergreen had known that this confrontation was going to transpired sooner or later. She despised the pathetic hope she’s had; that it would rather be later than sooner. But now here he was, speaking his mind with sincere concern lacing his handsome features.

      All fire she was usually ready to shoot towards him, be it in a serious or less serious way, was gone and left was a puddle of anxiety instead. She’d not even dared to converse about this subject with her best friends, and that even though they knew her best. They’d seen almost all of her. 

     “I’m not avoiding you. You’re imagining things.” Ever tried, she tried to stay strong and put on an indifferent face. But oh, how horribly she was failing right then and there. H u r t  came to her face, caused by seeing Elfman in sorrow. They were bickering, always. Somehow, this had been natural for them ever since they had unconsciously begun to grow closer. And yet this time, it was different… It felt grave.

      Not knowing what to say, not ready for this confrontation with him and her own struggles, Evergreen turned around sharply. With her back on him he wouldn’t be able to see how the inner turmoil came to surface and the female took a quick breath, gaze sticking to the floor. It was useless to pretend. It wouldn’t be fair either. And she didn’t want him to blame himself for something that had been entirely fine. So she just needed him to know one thing. “You… didn’t do anything wrong…”

        ‘But I’m doing everything wrong. I destroy everything I touch.’

                          Like stone shattering into thousand pieces…

      She hated it, she hated it so much to feel like this and even more so that she didn’t have the courage to talk about it, to look Elfmanin the eyes and be sincere with him. Yes, she did have feelings for him. Then why was she constantly hurting him, why couldn’t she just say so? She was scared. “Excuse me, Freed and Bixlow are waiting for me…”

      It was no secret— well, at least to a few people— that the lightning mage held a soft spot for this particular woman. Evergreen was part of the Thunder God Tribe, a team consisting of individuals that seek out to protect his existence, but most importantly; they are his most valued comrades. And for any of them to behave in such a way towards him was nothing but a regularity. Even if it disturbed him to a great extend, sometimes.

      Virile features upon his face remained the exact same, as he felt his weight being dragged around, glancing at the miscellany of shop windows that surrounded both of them. From places with various garments, to shoes and whatnot. From places with house utensils to grocery stores. Mangolia surely had established an acceptable diversity in the market. 

      He felt a sigh escaping from his lips, as he wouldn’t hesistate demonstrating how displeased he was. Yes, he would have just stayed still, disallowing the stone mage to pull his broad body, and haul him anywhere she pleases. Curse him and his soft spot for her. She was well awared of that, and thus she was taking advantage of it– perhaps.

❛ I never said that I was available.        You just came up to me and dragged me out of the blue.                      — Woman, let go off me. ❜

      Yes. Yes she was taking advantage of it. Though it also served as reminder of just how much she loved him, and how much his presence was appreciated. That, and yes- for the sake of amusement and teasing him a little as well. Hey, he too deserved that every once in a while!

     "And you didn't fight it," she pointed out confidently but stopped in her tracks. Of course Laxus had voiced complaints, albeit when it came down to it he had let her gain the upper hand. Or so she thought at least.

     "Okay okay, I'm letting go already." Rolling her eyes Ever fulfilled his little wish at last and her hands came to rest on her hips instead. Gaze began to swerve away from him, seeking for the first shop to enter.

      Shopping was great; her three dearest men just never seemed all too eager to accompany her on such a tour and it would take more for her to ask one of the girls who she got along with well, though still not as well as it was the case with them. Regardless... no mercy. "Look, I don't want you to hate me so I'll let you choose where to go. I need a pair of new stilletos, and a bra."

❛ — Goddammit!! ❜

      Annoyance was illustrated upon the masculine features of his face, as his voice followed suit. Apparently, staying at his place and getting some rest, seemed to be out of question. And thus, he was stuck with none other but a very joyful fairy who wanted to go shopping. What’s worse? The incarnation of lightning couldn’t really object since it seemed futile.

❛ Would you let go of me, now? Why do I even have to do this shit with you, anyway? ❜

[sutonaisu]

     "Oh Laxus, don't be like that." The sing sang tone swinging in her vox revealed; she was already deeming herself the winner in this. Her arm was slung tightly around his as she dragged the broad man with her (something that wouldn't be possible if he hadn't secretly given in already; if he didn't wish for her to move him then he'd ensure that she wasn't able to), smirk evident on her lips as the fairy threw him another determined look.

     "Because you're the only one available right now and I love you, remember?~ Besides, you could use a small clothes make-over as well, ufufu~." With the latter suggestion just being an aimed tease.
