I do not own any of the original Fairy Tail characters.
New job
Sado stretched as he sat at a table, sipping his soda and relaxing. He held his left hand out, flames flickering into existence in his palm before forming into the silhouette of the guild's waitress, beginning to dance in place on his palm. Beside him, one of the other wizards chuckled seeing it.
"Man you're hopeless," the man laughed. "If you're going to make her dance you might as well make her dance naked."
Sado let the flames go out, scowling at him. He raised his hands in front of himself, sighing.
"Fine, fine," the wizard said. "Forget I said anything."
"I intend to," Sado said as the waitress walked over, a wide smile spreading on Sado's face. "Hey Mira."
"Hello Sado," Mira smiled, reaching down and kissing him before straightening back up and taking the other wizard's empty mug, giving him another filled with beer. "When's your next job?"
"Probably in about an hour or so," Sado said. "Wanna come?"
"I'm sorry. I really want to. It's just...well...you know."
"I know," Sado said. "It's alright. Once I get back I'll be here for a while."
Mira nodded, smiling. Then, she turned, returning to her job. As she walked away, Sado took another drink from his soda, forcing his eyes to the ground.
"You're allowed to stare, you know," a girl to the side, Levi, said. "You're her boyfriend."
"I know," Sado said. "It's just...nevermind. It doesn't matter. Anyway, where's Natsu? Shouldn't he be back by now?"
Just then, the door burst open, a boy a couple years younger than him stepped in. The boy had messy pink hair, a white scarf wrapped around his neck, an open black vest, white shorts ending just below his knees, a black skirt-like cloth hanging behind his legs, and black sandals.
"We made it back alive!" the boy shouted the moment the door was open, all of the wizards in the guild congratulating him, Sado rolling his eyes.
This was Natsu. Natsu always acted like the mission he went on was his last, and he always acted like it was some shock that he survived when he returned. Really the only thing that might kill him was his motion sickness. He couldn't ride on any kind of vehicle at all without becoming violently ill. It was actually rather entertaining to watch.
"It's about time Natsu!" Sado said, standing and walking toward him. "Time for our re-"
Natsu backhanded Sado in the face, launching him backward as though it were nothing, the attractive blonde following Natsu staring at Sado in shock.
"What the hell Natsu!?" she shrieked.
"Calm down," Natsu said. "That guy's a lot stronger than that. He's just not really in the mood to fight."
"I am now," Sado growled, standing. "Face me, you pink haired freak!"
"Really?" Natsu said, turning. "Is that the best you've got?"
Sado punched toward Natsu, a blast of flame shooting out of his hands at him. Natsu merely sighed, opening his mouth and inhaling the flames, swallowing them. He fired several more blasts before Natsu finally sent a wall of flames back. Sado swung his arms forward, sending out a much smaller wall of his own, the flames exploding against each other as they met, throwing Sado into a wall.
"We've been over this Sado," Natsu said. "You only fight with flames. I eat flames. You can't beat me."
"Just stay down Sado," the other boy with Natsu and the blonde, Gray Fullbuster, said.
Gray was wearing his usual outfit, a pair of black jeans and a black shirt under a white trench coat. Not that he was going to keep it on long. Gray had a habit of randomly, and seemingly instantaneously, losing his clothes to some random spot, leaving only his boxers, that God.
"You want to go too popsicle?" Sado asked.
"Man, you have got to work on your insults," Gray said. "Sure. I'll humor you."
"Excellent," Sado grinned.
"No," another voice said. "You're going to start a brawl, again."
"What else is new Elfman," Sado said, turning to the behemoth of a man who had tanned skin, a square jaw, a heavily muscled body, white-silver hair combed back, and who happened to be the younger brother of Mirajane.
"If you keep starting trouble, I might just decide you're no good for Mira."
"Oh right, because your sister's so helpless," Sado said, rolling her eyes.
"That's not the point!" Elfman snapped.
"You're all hopeless," a woman at the bar who was dressed in a blue bikini top, brown pants, and with a full keg of beer beside her said. "Just fight and get it over with. Here. I'll help."
She picked up a bottle and hurled it, hitting a wizard who wasn't paying attention in the back of the head then pointing at Natsu. Instantly, he tackled Natsu into a table. Then, those wizards joined in and the fighting spread until it was an all out brawl. Elfman sighed, turning back to Sado.
"Alright," Elfman said. "I'll say it. I'm rescinding my blessing. You're to stay away from my sister."
"Elfman, this is the third time you've taken it back," Sado said. "As usual, yes, I'll fight you for it."
"I'm not interested in fighting you for my blessing," Elfman said. "Even if you beat me, you're not good enough for-"
He was cut off by Mira smashing her tray over his head then standing with her hands on her hips, glowering up at him. Sado smirked. Argument over. Sado's victory.
"On what grounds are you taking it back this time?" Mira asked. "I'm perfectly capable of handling anything Sado would ever dare do, which basically means compliments. What could you possibly not approve of?"
"Oh...well...he...he starts trouble!" Elfman said.
"So do you!" Mira said. "And Natsu, and Gray, Lord knows Erza does."
"When's she due back anyway?" Sado asked.
"In a little while," Mira said.
"Hey Sado!" Grey shouted.
Sado turned, finding Gray already throwing a punch. Sado snorted in amusement, blocking it before grabbing Gray's arm, bending it at the elbow then flipping him over, slamming him down on a table before kicking the table, flipping it away from himself.
"Quit interrupting," Sado said.
Beside him, the blonde stared at him in complete shock.
"How can you go from getting thrown with a backhanded slap to doing that!?" the blonde gaped.
"Oh Sado's actually one of our strongest members," Mira smiled. "He just loses his cool whenever he tries to fight Natsu because Natsu's the only person that's immune to his magic."
"I suppose that makes sense," the blonde said.
"What's your name anyway?" Sado asked.
"I'm Lucy," she said. "So, who are you?"
"I'm Sado, Mira's boyfriend," Sado said.
"Mira has a boyfriend?" Lucy blinked. "So, you don't mind that she..."
"What, the photoshoots?" Sado snorted. "Of course not. It's not like it's nudes or anything."
"I suppose," Lucy nodded. "Anyway, that's great for you."
Sado nodded just as a massive figure crashed to the ground, roaring angrily, everyone freezing, Lucy absolutely terrified.
"Would you all stop bickering like children!" the behemoth thundered.
"Oh, I didn't know you were still here Master," Mira smiled up at him.
"Master?" Lucy asked.
"That's right," Sado smiled. "Lucy, meet Fairy Tail's Guild Master, Makarov."
"Oh, it looks like we have a new member," Makarov thundered, looking down at Lucy.
"That's right," Lucy squeezed.
Makarov began to shrink, quickly retaking his usual stature of a foot an a half tall, dressed in an orange jacket and pants with a roll of paper in his hand and a hat on his head with two cone-like protrusions from the top, both of them folded backward and down, sort of like horns. He had messy grey hair and a bushy gray bear.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Makarov smiled. He turned, leaping up to the railing of the next level before turning back around, clearing his throat. "You kids have gone and done it again! Do you know how much paperwork the Magic Council has sent me this time?" He held out a thick stack of sheets. "All you hooligans are good for is getting the higher ups mad at me! However," the papers suddenly burst into flames which he threw, scattering them into the air for Natsu to jump up and eat. "I say to heck with the magic council. Now listen up, any power that surpasses reason still comes from reason, right? Magic isn't some kind of miraculous power. It is a power that only works when the flow of energy inside of us and the flow of energy in the natural world are in perfect synchronization. To perform magic one must have a strong mind and the ability to focus. It should take over your being and come pouring out of your soul. If all we do is worry about following rules then our magic will never progress. Don't let those blowhards on the council scare you. Follow the path you believe in. Cause that's what makes the fairy tail guild number one!" He held up his hand, palm backward with his index finger extended and his thumb extended along his hand, the other members of the guild cheering and doing the same, except for Sado.
As the cheers died down, Makarov climbed down to the bar, getting himself a mug of beer while Sado walked over to the request board, looking from one to the next.
"What are you going to pick?" Mira asked, stepping up behind him and wrapping her arms over his shoulder, Sado reaching up and taking both of her hands in one of his, leaning his head against hers.
"I was thinking about the bandits," Sado said. "But this escort one sounds more fun."
"But it only pays a couple hundred jewel," Mira said.
"True, but I don't exactly need the money, and few people actually pick the low-paying jobs," Sado said. "I gotta do one every now and then. Besides, maybe I'll pick up a new kind of magic to beat Natsu's ass with."
Mira giggled, kissing him on the cheek. "Well, whatever you do, hurry back. I'm taking a few days off starting tomorrow."
Sado grinned widely, ripping the escort poster off the board. He turned, kissing her before leaving, heading across town to where the person who put the request in was waiting.
