Richter woke up abruptly, sweat dropping from his forehead. He massaged his temple as it throbbed with pain. Sighing he didn't think about the weird dream anymore.
Shaking his head, he was about to get out of the blanket when his hand felt something. His mind blanked as recollection of memories flushed to his brain.
"It wasn't a dream"
Then he looked to his side, she was sleeping peacefully. She looked like an angel. His mood to get out of bed disappeared and laid besides her.
Lots of thoughts came to his mind. He is a simple man. For him, sex is for married, now that he had sex with Mirajane, he had to take responsibility and marry her, right?
But why would she have sex with him? Yes, he felt both of them had interest with each other but it didn't feel like it was to this extent.
As he was thinking about such, some time passed and Mirajane woke up. Richter's eyes were looking at her but his mind was elsewhere. He didn't even realise Mirajane had woken up. That displeased her. She clapped his cheeks and drew his attention towards her.
Pouting she asked, "What are you thinking?"
Richter didn't answer her, instead he caressed her cheeks and asked her back, "Are you alright? You were too erotic, I lost control in middle."
Mirajane was red with shyness, " I am.....it felt good." Her voice trailing off at the end.
"What are you making me say!", She said with embarrassment and lightly pounded his chest with her hands.
She pinched his nose and gave him her angry look which Richter felt very cute, "You are dodging my question."
"Yes! Milady. Please spare my perfect nose."
"Sure, sure. What a perfectly ugly nose. Fufufufu!"
Looking at her still playing with his nose, it aroused him. So, he hugged her tight close to him.
"Kyaa!" Mirajane yelped. Her face became red with shyness and murmured in low voice, "It's still sore from last night..."
Richter heard her since they were not an inch apart. It made him chuckle and filled with pride. He didn't say anything just kissed her on the forehead.
"You are so cute." He said lovingly, "I love you. Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
She cupped his face and said, "Yes." Then again got angry and pinched his cheeks and pouting she said, "With all the things you did to me, you should marry me."
"Ouch! Ouch! You're pinching it too hard."
Only after she vented herself she let him go.
Massaging his cheeks, he explained to her, "I did want to ask you to marry me but I wasn't so sure. Everything happened too fast for me. I was afraid...I don't want you to have regrets for....you know...."
Mirajane intently looked at him. He was always confident and reckless but right now he was timid and meek. It fuelled her more.
'He still thinks he is the one chasing after me!? Fufufufu! You're really cute. So kind, so naive. That's why you should just stay in Fairy Tail with me.'
Her eyes narrowed, filled with obsession. She couldn't hold this swelling feelings in her chest. She deep kissed him repeatedly. Only because of soreness, she couldn't indulge herself.
She looked outside, it was still early morning thankfully. The clock showed about 9 am.
Figuring out she was thinking about work, he requested, "Why not rest today?"
"I can't. I have to get ready. Today reporter is coming for publishing our guild in magazine. I didn't go yesterday because I left pre planned arrangements in the hands of Lucy."
"Oh! Then let me help you. Do you want to bath together?"
Mirajane shyly nodded.
During the bath, it was a challenge to his will. But no matter how much he tried to distract himself, his body was honest. So, Mirajane gave him handjob and titjob but it wouldn't settle.
"Do you want to do it?" She asked.
He was tempted but the person herself was worn-out.
"It is just showing it's honest reaction to you. For now, I just want to embrace you in my arms."
So, they just cuddled in the bathtub for sometime before coming out.
Richter cooked the breakfast. After resting for a bit, both of them set out to the guild.
"Where's Elfman though? Shouldn't he be here by morning?"
"He should be at the guild now. He may have gone directly there. Due to that we got to spend time together."
"But we can't hide it from Elfman."
"Why must we hide it from anyone?"
"That....is true."
"That's why I am planning to announce our marriage."
"What? Marriage? When was that decided?"
"Fufufufu! How about our engagement then? A year later, no that would be too long, half year later...hmm...Richter?"
Richter's brows furrowed. Anxiousness and restlessness crept on his heart as he remembered something very important,
'A year later? There will be no 'a year later'. I nearly forgot about the black dragon due to all that Tartaros guild. The matters of that guild is still unresolved. Since I have failed to track their base, I have to go back to Kusuri village too. Is Amrita doing alright? I hope they didn't attack back for revenge. Magic knights have gone there, so it should be fine for the time being. Also, the matters of black dragon, fortunately-'
His thoughts came to halt as a sharp pain came from both of his cheeks. Mirajane had clapped his cheeks looking a bit worried.
"You've been dazed from morning. What's bothering you?"
"It's.... nothing. C'mon let's go, we are getting late."
Mirajane was perplexed but didn't say anything.
Soon both of them reached the guild. The destroyed guild was rebuilt. It was extravagant with the design of western fantasy castle.
"Tada! Are you surprised?"
Richter smiled looking at the guild, "It's awesome."
Just then, a figure torpedoed breaking through the door and crashing onto Richter's abdomen.
It made him flinch. Veins bulged in his forehead, "Fucker had to target my liver!"
He had to forcefully calm himself. Mirajane is by his side, he can't act like a child.
The crashed figure jumped on his feet and energetically shouted rushing back, "Today is the day I will defeat you Erza!!!"
Tables were broken and mugs and chairs were flying inside the guild. Lucy literally crawled out of the guild with tears in her eyes. She grabbed the waist of Mirajane and started bawling her eyes out, "I can't do this anymore, Miraaa! These guys keep ruining stuff! Save me!"
A small figure came out of the guild making an arc and landed on his head. Makarov was crying. These unruly children! The reporter will be here any minute and the guild condition is like this. He could only cry silently.
"Hahahaha!" Richter laughed heartily seeing this. 'These guys are really fun. But I have to put damper on this party. I have a girl to impress.'
With a swagger, he stepped inside the guild blazing his fighting aura attracting everyone's attention with his sheer arrogance.
"Listen up everybody, stop fig-"
A table came flying at him. Fortunately, although his noise was pointed to the sky his eyes were still open. He easily caught the table but it ruined his mood. He was pinching his forehead to calm himself, he still tried to convince them,
"Look guys, we have reporter incoming. The party can wai-"
A chair came flying at him from the side. This time unfortunately his eyes were closed thus the chair hit him on the head. The anger came rushing. Pointing at the crowd, he shouted,
"Which fucker threw that!? I challenge-"
Then a tomato came flinging at him. Richter easily caught but veins bulged in his forehead for the second time of the day under just few minutes.
"Fuck you fuckers! AAAAWR!!!"
Crushing the tomato in his hand, with battle cry he jumped into the crowd starting the smash party once again.
Mirajane wryly smiled at that. Makarov and Lucy bawled out hugging each other.
"Nooo! My dream magazine!"
"Nooo! My guild!!!"
