"Gramps? Have you seen Mira?" you asked, approaching the man sitting on the counter, "she told me she was sick and would have to take a few days off" he explained to me, "alright, thanks gramps" you said, "hey (y/n)! When are we gonna fight huh?!" Natsu shouted, standing on the table across the guild hall, "calm down! When I get back!" you promised the pink haired mage as you left the guild hall to visit Mira at the girls dorm. You and Mira met when we were extremely young, you used to cause a lot of trouble together and it's what caused you to become friends, however when she got older she changed into a more mature woman and you basically just grew taller with the same personality.
"Mira if you're changing I'm coming in!" you knocked on the door before walking into her room, Mira looked dead, "oh my— Mira? Are you alive?" you asked, rushing to her side, "no, I'm dying" she muttered, mocking you as you scoffed, "here I stopped by the store and got you some medicine and food" you said, leaving it on the table beside her, "(y/n), you know what would be great~?" she asked, her voice hoarse. "You not asking me whatever you're about to ask" you said, and she gave you a heartfelt smile, "can you go to Sorcerer Weekly and tell them I'm sick? Lisanna is out with Elfman and you're the first person to visit today" she asked, you sighed, as much as you wanted to go back to the guild hall to fight Natsu, Mirajane was your bestfriend so you agreed and left her to rest.
Once you reached Sorcerer Weekly, you were about to ask for Mira's photographer when you heard someone call the name of your guild, "FAIRY TAIL!", you turned your head, "you! You're from Fairy Tail arent you? Where's Mirajane?" the man approached you with a female at his side. "Ah Mirajane's sick and she's on bed rest at the moment, she asked me to come tell you" you explained her situation, "ah why did this have to happen today I need her! I have no time to find a replacement!" he groaned, tearing at his hair when the woman beside him whispered something in his ear, and he looked at you.
"You! You're a mage right?" he asked, "y-yes..?" you said hesitantly, before you could retort anything g he asked, he grabbed your wrist and dragged you to the dressing room, "woah hey I'm not a model get someone else for this!" you got angry, "no time darling it'll pay well now get in there and put this on!" he said, pointing at two pieces of fabric on the couch as he shut the door behind you. You turned your head to look at the couch, you walked over and picked it up, "what even is this..? It's so small and.. what in the world?" you muttered to yourself, come on, you wore hardcore clothes and fought people for fun, why on earth did you let yourself get dragged into this. After refusing to put it on, due to your pride, when the hair and makeup stylists came in and saw you weren't ready, they basically forced you to get dressed and sit down to get ready, they did your hair up in a summery fashion style bun, and put on a bunch of makeup to make you look sunkissed and glowing.
You honestly were stressed, this was out of your comfort zone and something you didn't wanna do, when the stylists stepped out to get the photographer, you used a communication lacrima orb you carried around to call Mira, "hey are you alright?" she asked, sounding better than before, assuming she ate, "they're making me do your job because your photographer can't find a replacement! Mira I cant do this!" you told her, "I'm sorry (y/n), did you tell him that?" she asked, "I did but he's just forcing me to do it" you whined, "Mira if anyone at the guild sees me like this much less anyone who reads Sorcerer Weekly I'll probably just die" you said, being dramatic. "I'm sorry I really am, please can you just do it this once for me? I'll make it up to you as soon as I'm better, please?"
"Ok now stand like this"
"Sit here and cross your legs"
"Smile at the camera"
"Look this way"
You knew mentally that you were the most awkward person, but after trying for a while, and being comforted by the people who weren't rushing you, it didn't take long for you to act natural and it was almost like you did do this for a living. When you got back to the dressing room and slammed your face into the couch, you didn't mind the modeling so much anymore, it was just more of the people you're closest to knowing that you wore a bikini and modeled. Considering your personality, it didn't match that photoshoot, you got dressed back in your clothes and going to the guild hall to relax with some food, "where have you been all day?", you swung your fist at Laxus, "suffering, why do you ask?" you asked, eye twitching, "awe lighten up, I was just curious" he smiled, "I'm getting food, come with me" you said, dragging him along, not that he was gonna refuse anyway, you went and sat at one of the table, eating food from the guild hall made by Lisanna to cover for Mira.
The next day I went by Mira's dorm room before the guild hall, Mira told me she wasn't fully well but she was able to go to the guild hall so we went together, the two of us walked to the guild hall and went inside, it was quiet, except for the people murmuring amongst each other, "what's going on" you asked, going in with Mira, "haha! When was our little (y/n) suddenly a bikini model huh~?" you heard, Bickslow's arm swung around you making you growl and punch him in the stomach, "SHUT UP!" you roared, he fell to the floor, laughing at how flustered you became.
( 1 hour earlier )
"GUYS DID YOU SEE THE NEW SORCERER WEEKLY?!" Bickslow yelled as he ran into the guild hall, intriguing everyone, they all went to get one of the magazines for themselves, "what's all the commotion about?" Freed asked his friend as the Thunder Legion hung out on the second floor, "I was in town and Sorcerer Weekly's new magazine came out today, and (y/n)'s in there" Bickslow laughed, Evergreen snatched the magazine from his hands. "Not (y/n), she'd never do this" Evergreen said and flipped through the magazine, suddenly she bursted out into laughter, Freed's face turned red amongst seeing you wearing a bikini, especially as you were a very conservative tomboyish character, this was unexpected.
"Gimme that" Laxus said, taking the magazine out of Evergreen's hand, "oh, well" he said, his breath caught in his throat as he believed the others were just bluffing him, "bet you're enjoying the view you perv" Bickslow laughed, as his babies flew around saying 'pervert pervert', Laxus swatted them away as he kept going through the magazine. "YOU FREAKING WEIRDO NOT YOU TOO!" you shouted, kicking Laxus in the face as you grabbed the magazine and started ripping it up, "hey I paid fair and square for that!" Bickslow complained, you punched him in the gut and crossed your arms.
"We don't talk about that magazine ever again got it?!" you shouted, Laxus chuckled lowly, walking over to you, he pinched your cheek, "you should dress like that more often for me" he teased you, "PERVERT!"
