Two is Better than One

Chapter 1

The crowd roared her name and held up flashing signs as she stepped onto the stage. It was deafening. All of their voices, high and low, melted into one gushing river of sound.

The music started, and she couldn't help but sway to the music and tap her toes in her shoes. She felt her heartbeat match the booming rhythm of sound. The song seemed to flow into her, the music becoming a part of her body.

She loved it.

When her mouth opened, the notes that flew out were nothing short of angelic, resulting in another round of loud cheering. She could swear that she felt the stage shake. In the distance, she saw a flashing sign adorned with her face and smiled.

She was Mirajane Strauss, the Demon with the voice of an angel. She was the queen of the stage, and the star of Fairy Tail University.

She was their star, and they loved her.

Everywhere I'm looking now

I'm surrounded by your embrace

Baby, I can see your halo

You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more

It's written all over your face

Baby, I can feel your halo

Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo, halo, halo

I can see your halo, halo, halo

I can feel your halo, halo, halo

I can see your halo, halo...

Halo, ooh oh...

I can feel your halo, halo, halo

I can see your halo, halo, halo

I can feel your halo, halo, halo

I can see your halo, halo...

Halo, ooh oh...

The crowd wanted more and drowned her in its cheers and adoration. She looked at the masses of greedy faces, upturned and hungry. She suddenly felt like she was being devoured by these people with their waving arms and needy faces...

Her voiced sounded too loud, too scared to even her own ears. The microphone that she gripped tightly felt like a dead weight and her arms shook as they struggled to hold it up. She clenched her teeth and her knuckles turned white as her hands trembled. The harsh lights beamed down at her, making her sweat uncomfortably and her eyes fought to cope with the flashing lights. She could feel the blood pounding in her ears. Ba-dump. Ba-dump. Ba-dump. The world was twisted, magnified, and the voices seemed too distant... Vertigo threatened to make her knees give out and the curtains... The curtains were closing on her...

She combed through the sea of faces, searching for the only one she knew could comfort her, could give her strength, and that was always there for her. The deep-set blue-grey eyes, the strong jaw, the spiky blonde hair, the lightning scar...

She found Laxus in the front row, standing out like 3D from the crowd, with his arms crossed and a serious look on his handsome face as he looked up at her. They made eye contact, and her anxiety, discomfort, and fears were naked to him. He alone knew her insecurities and her downfalls.

He frowned, his eyebrows furrowing, and gestured for her to end this concert. She smiled cheekily at him and shook her head almost imperceptibly.

He huffed and gesticulated some more, but she wasn't watching anymore. Mira turned back to the crowd, who were begging for more.

"Do you want another song?" She was answered with a deafening roar and touched a hand to her ear, wincing at their enthusiasm.

"Okay, for the last song, I am going to invite one of you onto the stage for a duet!" Another round of cheering.

Mira pretended to scan the crowd for someone to pick as her fans shrieked at her to pick them. She smiled a little as her eyes drifted again to a certain blonde head.

She giggled at his furious expression.

Of course, he wasn't really mad. She could tell by the slight twitch of his lips. She was always telling him to smile more instead of always marring his good looks with a frown. He never listened. In a way, she was glad, because all of his rare smiles were always directed at her. It made her feel more special than any of the cheers from these people called her fans.

"How about you there, in the front row with the blonde hair and headphones?" She winked at him and he sputtered, losing his cool and collected demeanor for a second and turning a nice shade of pink. "Come on up!"

Mira curled her pointer finger in a "come on" sign and pouted when he shook his head furiously and mouthed, "no" at her.

Why was he so shy?! She knew that he had a great voice, a beautiful rich tenor, but he had always refused to sing in public, preferring instead to listen to music from his headphones.

The crowd would have none of that. Even as he shook his head, hands reached forward and literally shoved him onto the stage. He stumbled to her side, glaring back at the people who groaned and whined for not being in his spot. She heard him cuss quietly and smirked at him.

Almost as soon as he had appeared on stage, shouts of recognition could be heard from the crowd.

"Hey it's Laxus-sempai!" His fan-girls swooned and squealed. Mira's eye twitched a little.

"Oh look! Laxus is gonna sing! Good luck bro!" His friends guffawed, namely his buddy Natsu Dragneel, who could be heard from a mile away.

"Laxus-sempai!..." His fanboy (Freed Justine) whined as he lamented the departure of his idol, clutching at thin air.

Mira smiled sweetly and grabbed his hand, placing another microphone in it. She noticed, not for the first time, how large and warm his hand was, and how strong his arm was, and how -

His hand closed over hers, enveloping her hand in his warmth, and she glanced up in surprise. He was still frowning, but his eyes told another story. He leaned down until his breath feathered over her ear, making her shiver in delight.

"What do you think you're doing?" His voice was husky and low, and Mira felt her heart jump to her throat.

"Singing with my fan!" She returned simply, slapping another smile on her face as she pulled away. She hoped he hadn't heard her heart pounding in her chest. They were on stage, and all eyes were watching.

His fingers lingered on her skin just a fraction of a second too long, and she felt the colour rushing to her face. No... You mustn't... She glanced at him warningly and he raised an eyebrow in response.

She giggled awkwardly. "Haha... Sorry to keep you waiting! So what song should we sing?"

The question was directed at the audience, but Laxus answered without hesitation.

"Two is Better than One." The crowd cheered their assent and waved their signs happily.

Mira looked at him, surprised, and a little betrayed. That song... Was THEIR song. It was a song they loved and she sang with all her heart. It wasn't for the ears of these people! It was their duet. Their little thing. And she felt so sick at the thought of these people recording their song and listening to all the feelings she poured into it.

His face was expressionless when he returned her look evenly. Was that mirth she saw in his eyes?! Oooohhhhh... He would pay for it later.

"What... What are you doing?!" She lowered her mike slightly and hissed out of the corner of her mouth, a smile still plastered on her face.

He face stretched into a rare grin. "Singing with my star."

The way he said that made her face feel hot. She would deal with him later. But right now, the crowd needed to be pleased.

The familiar music started and she closed her eyes. She didn't want to see the leering faces of the people watching her. When his voice flowed into her ears, she smiled. She could feel him watching her with that endearing, loving look in his eyes, so different from the usual cold, calm air he exuded. Only she knew that he was just a big softie under that hard exterior. It figured that he would also like this sweet duet.

I remember what you wore on the first day

You came into my life and I thought hey

You know, this could be something

'Cause everything you do and words you say

You know that it all takes my breath away

And now I'm left with nothing

So maybe it's true that I can't live without you

And maybe two is better than one

But there's so much time to figure out the best of my life

And you've already got me coming undone

And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember every look upon your face

The way you roll your eyes, the way you taste

You make it hard for breathing

'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away

I think of you and everything's okay

I'm finally now believing

Then maybe it's true that I can't live without you

And maybe two is better than one

But there's so much time to figure out the best of my life

And you've already got me coming undone

And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember what you wore on the first day

You came into my life and I thought, hey (hey, hey)

Maybe it's true that I can't live without you

Maybe two is better than one

There's so much time to figure out the best of my life

And you've already got me coming undone

And I'm thinking, ooh, I can't live without you

'Cause, baby, two is better than one

There's so much time to figure out the best of my life

But I'll figure out with all that's said and done

Two is better than one, two is better than one

As the music ended, the crowd screamed and screamed, knowing this was the finale. The sound seemed to last forever.

Mira opened her eyes, to find Laxus back to his old, cool self, with his hands shoved in his pockets, and his headphones around his neck. He caught her staring at him, huffed, and looked the other way. She smiled. Sometimes, he was such a kid.

She walked toward him to give him a hug, like she often did to her fans, and embraced him.

What she didn't expect was that he bent down, tilted her head up, and kissed her full on the lips. IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY.

She gasped, and he took the opportunity to deepen the kiss. Mira felt like she was going to collapse, her knees felt like jelly. But she couldn't pull away. Instead, she put her arms around his neck and kissed him back as his hands found her waist. It was a slow, but sweet kiss, and she relished it.

"See you later, Mirajane." He whispered to her lips as they pulled apart. She knew she looked a mess as she stumbled backward, clutching her microphone like she was trying to choke it to death. He waved, his back to her, as he stalked off the stage, not a care in the world.

She turned to her audience and noted with dread that they were silent. Why did he do that?! They'd promised...

She coughed awkwardly, "um..."

And suddenly, the entire place exploded with shouts of every kind. the soundwave that resulted almost knocked Mira off her feet.

Most people were cheering like there was no tomorrow, shouting all sorts of nonsense gibberish at her with grinning faces and throwing flowers at her feet. She knew that Freed was probably freakin out somewhere in the crowd, while Laxus's fangirls groaned and sulked. Some of the men were outraged, screaming bloody Hell and cursing Laxus with every word of their colourful vocabulary for "stealing a kiss from their Mira".

She blushed a little and backed away, gesturing furiously at the stage crew to lower the curtains.

She threw her arms up in despair. Now she was going to be hounded by paparazzi again!

"That Laxus... He's going pay for that tonight..." She muttered darkly.

Then she realized her mic was still on.

How was that? If you liked it and want us to continue writing this, please review and fav and follow!
