FAIRY TAIL STORIES (FAN MADE)

Bisca and Alzack

Okay, Bisca thought as she walked to the guild from Fairy Hills. Okay, today I'm gonna do it. Today I'm gonna ask Alzack on a date. Just the thought of such an uncomfortable task made her palms sweat and her stomach flip. She stopped walking and took a deep breath, trying to expel the nervousness creeping up her spine. Why did she have to be so shy? Why couldn't she be more like Juvia, who seemed to have no trouble confessing her love for Gray, or Erza, who was confident in everything she did? Bisca was never confident. She clutched her head and squeezed her eyes shut. I can't do this, I can't do this!

"Uhh...Biscuit?"

Bisca's eyes popped open and she wheeled around to find Gajeel looming over her and Levy at his side, gazing at her with concern. The latter elbowed Gajeel in the stomach, giving him a look. "Her name is Bisca," she said, turning back to the cowgirl. "Is everything okay? You look...distressed."

"I-I'm fine I just...I was just thinkin' is all," Bisca stuttered, pushing forth a nervous laugh. Levy narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips, tapping her foot impatiently on the ground.

"I'm offended that you think I would leave it at that," Levy sighed, placing her hands on her hips. "Really, Bisca, what's wrong? Gajeel and I are here for you." Gajeel grumbled a bit, as he always seemed to get sucked into things like this because of Levy, but he didn't protest further.

Bisca bit her lip. Levy was nearly as shy as Bisca, and she'd somehow managed to ask Gajeel out. She peered at the intimidating Dragonslayer. He was definitely more frightening than Alzack, not to mention the fact that he attacked Levy before he even joined Fairy Tail. Bisca had a sudden appreciation for the little solid-script mage. If Levy could do that, then she could definitely ask Alzack out. Levy would understand, too.

"Well...I...I was gonna ask Alzack out on a date today," Bisca mumbled, blushing. "I'm just nervous about it. Y'all can go about your business."

Levy perked up. "You're finally going to ask Alzack out? Oh, that's great! Way to go, Bisca!"

"T-thanks, Levy," Bisca said, her face becoming an even deeper shade of red. It was in horrible contrast with her green hair; she would have to control her blush if Alzack was ever going to say yes. Her stomach flipped again. What if he didn't say yes? What if he did? Then what would she do?

She went with Levy and Gajeel to the guild, with an animated Levy supplying most of the conversation. Bisca was too nervous to talk, and Gajeel didn't seem like the chatterbox type. His remarks were fairly clipped and brusque, but as time passed Levy prodded more substantial responses from him.

As they walked into the guild, Levy grinned at Bisca encouragingly. "Good luck! I'll be cheering for you!"

"Thanks," Bisca said, trying to control her breathing.

"Don't worry too much," Gajeel said, shooting Bisca what she thought was a glare but she couldn't be sure. Maybe it was just his default expression. "He'd be an idiot if he said no."

Bisca blinked. Did Gajeel...did he just give her encouragement? By the radiant, if somewhat proud, look on Levy's face, it would seem that the answer was yes. "Thanks, Gajeel," she said, attempting a smile. "I'll try my best."

She turned away and marched towards the table she shared with Alzack most days, twisting her cowgirl hat in her hand. Her heart nearly lept out of her chest when she saw him. Okay, calm down, girl, calm down. Don't start that blushin' again, else you'll look like a Christmas decoration.

"Howdy, Bisca," Alzack greeted when she got to the table.

"H-hi," Bisca murmured, blood ringing in her ears. "Um, I have s-somethin' to ask you..."
