14 Time in the Train (2/2)
”But you know...” Mira started to speak again.
”We could have that quickie now and after the train ride. How about it Ez, you interested? Erza doesn't need to know anything at all~! You can keep a secret right?” She closed in again and purred in his ear seductively.
Once again, Ezra's face turned into a shade of bright red as Mira laughed at his reaction one last time.
”Hahaha! Oh god, you're so cute when you're embarrassed like that! It makes me want to tease you even more!”
Ezra turned away from the white-haired female and groaned, ”Oh come on...You already did that, don't you? Plus, I'm really considering a visit to a doctor to have my heart checked out. I swear it might implode at this rate!”
Mira rolled her eyes and smirked, ”Oh quite exaggerating. I mostly tease you just to get a rise out of your sister. I absolutely love the expressions she makes when I piss her off!”
She then let out a quick laugh and Ezra composed himself again and faced Mira, ”You know I never really figured it out, but why do you and my sister hate each other?”
The white-haired woman casually shrugged, ”We just do. Honestly it annoys the hell out of me how that tincan can be such an uptight stickler all the time. I for one, want to show that redheaded broad where her rightful place is, and that's right beneath my boots!”
She smirked widely, but quickly realized who she was talking too, ”Oh, no offence, Ez.”
Ezra waved his hands in dismissal and chuckled nervously, ”No offence...sorta. But you're not technically wrong. Nee-san can be a bit bossy sometimes. Although, Mira, you kinda don't have room to say any of that yourself.”
He then pointed out rather sternly, ”Not only do you harass my sister, but you also bully everyone else at the guild. And that's something most people can't stand for, even myself.”
Normally when a normal person ever talks back against Mira, it wasn't a happy end for them. But in Ezra's case, he was not going to let anyone talk about his twin sister like that. Even if they were allies of the same guild.
Surprising, Mira didn't look angry. Rather she just huffed in annoyance. She then frowned and crossed her arms.
”Yeah, yeah, I get it. I'm a bitch to everyone, you don't need to say it to my face, Ez.”
”Actually that's not completely true of how I see you, Mira-san” The red-haired male interrupted.
”Eh?” Mira was caught off by surprise a little as she turned back to see Ezra's warm smiling face.
He spoke sincerely as he held her hands, ”True you have your flaws, but behind all of that you are a real caring person, even if you don't show it all the time. Plus, you're strong, beautiful, and you even have a great amount of ambition to become strong. I even heard from Elfman you're also an amazing cook. I kinda find all of those things to be very cool and admirable of you, Mira.”
Ezra threw in one of his most honest and heart-warming smiles. Mira, for the first time in her life, had her cheeks blush red as she shyly turned her head away from Ezra's gaze.
”G-Geez...Going all out and attacking a woman like that....you asshole...” She muttered.
”What was that?”
”Nothing! I-I just mean to say...thank you for what you said, Ez.” Mira said with a bright smile on her lips.
Ezra smiled back, ”You're welcome, Mira.”
