The Iron Dragon

Taking a break during a job, just to admire the stars (●´艸`)

" Get stronger , brat. "

That was it. Game over. She was caught red handed and Levy had no excuse for it. Feeling like she had shrunk under his dark gaze, the bookworm put her hands up defensively as she stumbled over her words, trying to form a correct sentence, but nothing was coming out the way she wanted it to.

Silently, she cursed at herself knowing that he would not be happy seeing her pantry with nothing but some crumbs and a few empty boxes. It’s not like she could hog all the money between herself, Jet, and Droy. They were all a team and always split the reward money evenly, regardless of how much or how little it paid. Levy knew she wasn’t strong enough to go on missions by herself, so the money was always split. 

Sighing, her cheeks turned a dark shade of red, she held her hands together in front of her and looked down at the floor.

"I….I don’t have any…." She said softly. "I bought what I could, but the reward money was low…"

Not only did she not have any food, but she was low on money as well? Where was it all going? To her books?... She did have those two guys as her team mates, were they splitting the jewel? How much was she even getting? And how long had she gone without food?

In that moment of realization; he grabbed one of her hands, pulling it up so he could stuff the plate into it. After he had made her hold the plate, he walked right by her and left the kitchen, and rather quickly at that." When I get back that plate better be empty, Shrimp!" He barked as he stomped through her house, making his way toward the front door.

        — [♁] "Hey Gajeel, welcome back!” Always good to see a fairy return from a mission.

Gajeel, having been staring at the floor as he walked in, lifted his head up upon being greeted. He blinked once, looking a bit confused as he was still getting used to being greeted happily by the guild, despite how much time he spent here. He raised a hand up to give a slight wave to Max." Yo"

Totally not taken by surprise, Rogue slipped into the shadows just in time to avoid getting his face punched in. Using his shadow form as an advantage, he circled around his attacker. If it was a fight Gajeel wanted then he’s going to get one. Seconds later Rogue emerged behind Gajeel and delivered a kick from behind.

Upon seeing the man vanish just inches before his fist collided with his face, Gajeel couldn't help but flash his usual massive toothy grin. He knew all too well what was coming next, he always knew. Rogue always tried this trick. And, like so many times before, Gajeel quickly raised a hand to stop his kick by catching his leg just before it hit him." GIHI!" He laughed with amusement as he spun around twice before letting Rogue's leg go, hoping he'd send the dragonslayer flying.

Angel smiled. "Thanks. You can call me Angel or Aisu, Either one works.." She looked up when she heard the screeching of the train's brakes. The pair boarded the train and chose a booth that was kind of secluded. The brunette turned toward the window and was lost in her own thoughts, thinking about her other half. The other part of the cheerful Ice dragonslayer was a deadly thought. At any time she could possess her and make Angel kill anyone she wanted to... Not like Angel wanted to kill. The train started moving and Angel held her head. "Damn it all to hell..." She growled under her breath, through gritted teeth.

"Angel, huh?" He thought aloud. He probably would have said more, but the sound of the train breaks shrieking through the station caused him to tense back up again, beads of sweat forming on his brow and running down his face. It was time.

He boarded the train and sat across from Angel, tense and clearly nervous. And then the train began to move... And he was fine. Perfectly fine. For a whole ten seconds before he doubled over, one arm crossing his gut, his free hand covering his mouth. He didn't seem to notice Angel being uncomfortable, for he was too busy suffering himself. Why did this even become a thing?... He blamed Natsu.

Gajevy? Gajevy.

"The same area which happens to be large enough to TRAIN IN!" He launched at Rogue, flinging his fist at his face.

SHOTS FIRED

Angel sighed. "I'm not strong. Period." Like all dragonslayers, she had a weakness when it comes to trains. Amd fire. But Gajeel, it seems, has no weakness. The brunette sighed lightly and looked toward the ground. This mission would either turn out as a horrible failure, or succsessful, but painfully awkward.

Gajeel eyed Angel slightly as she admitted to not being very strong." ... So then the real reason ya asked me to tag along was 'cause I'm so strong, right?" He asked before he flashed a wide, toothy grin." GIHI! Don't sweat the small stuff, girly. Just follow my lead and you'll be one of the most powerful magic users the world's ever seen!"

the real reason gajeel was allowed to join fairy tail

Angel stood in front of him, her drunkenness long forgotten. She had been informed that he was also a dragonslayer.. he might want to walk... But Angel pushed that thought aside. If he wants to walk, he'll say so. The brunette shifted her weight uncomfortably, and the air around them was tense and awkward. "I hear your pretty strong." Angel broke the seal. Better than silence.

Gajeel continued to stand there silently, awaiting the doom on wheels to arrive to carry him off to the horrible land of motion sickness. And of course, he never outright admitted to it. He was so embarrassed by this motion sickness nonsense that it was difficult to tell people that he, the Iron Dragonslayer, got sick on any moving object." I ain't pretty strong, I AM strong." He corrected before his gaze traveled toward the train track. No sight of the beast. Yet.
