Disclaimer: I do not own the fairy tail
Inspired by the story of 'The Rut' by BonneNuit and one of my favorite in gajeel x natsu... hmm if you think I am such a kluts on grammar please let me know you can teach me how because I am willing to learn. It's lemon means yaoi hard you've been warned so if you don't feel like it SCRAM!
If Gajeel didn't find the person that he is looking for he'll be dead like a sleeping beauty and if that happened no one can wake him up, he'll be sleeping like a dead person. Will natsu can do something about it?
Part One
Sitting on the front of mirajane's bar, gajeel is crouching like he had a stomach ache his face doesn't know what to make mira was worrying about gajeel's behaviour yet the time she always approach him, he stays quiet then ignores mirajane's question. A few hours pass gray sat beside gajeel and order his drink to mirajane...
"Hey what's up? You look horrible does anything happened?" gray said as he was holding his
drink. Gajeel ignored gray and mirajane get closed to gray and whisper to him.
"I also approach a questions on him, but he didn't want to talk even 'shut up' I am so worried what could we do?" ask mirajane still holding the glass.
"Nah! Let him be" swayed his arms and face the front and ignore gajeel.
After mirajane sold many drinks gray wasn't there anymore and gajeel still crouching but not moving, when mira decided to move him, gajeel's face got shocked as he look away but mira's face never leave the worried.
"You can tell me what's on your mind gajeel?"
"You can't understand, so lemme alone..."
"How come I can understand if you didn't tell me?"
Gajeel ignore mirajane again. 7:30pm some fairy tail members are ordering some drinks to mira as cana sat beside gajeel and tap his back.
"Yoou knoow whhaat gaaajeeel? Ifff you diiiidddn't teeell miiiraaa sooooneeer...youuuuu'lll diiiiieeee"

Happy flew inside as he sat on the table and order his fish...

"Happy he's not a cat, by the way where is natsu?" lucy ask as she finished drink her order from mirajane.
"Hmm, then I'll give it to charle then...Oh natsu? He was with erza why?" happy while wrapping his fish in a ribbon and then flew away. Lucy stared at poor gajeel as she get up and sat beside to her bestfriend levy.
"What's wrong with him today?" levy ask lucy whose choosing some books that levy borrow from a library earlier.
"Oh I guess he was love sick with you" lucy reply back as she was grinning at her friend whose blushing.
"You idiot! He wasn't love sick coz' of me"
"Huh? What do you mean he's in love with someone else?"
"As far our conversation earlier he was looking for a person, and if he doesn't find that person he'll die"
"He'll die? How come you are relax saying someone will die"
"Lu-chan, gajeel will be dead like a sleeping beauty and if he can't find that person no one will"
"What kind of person he's looking for?"
"Don't know" levy shrugged. "And he doesn't even bother to tell me"
While levy continue reading her book lucy think a little then choose a book and say a good bye to her friend as she go outside. She still thinking about what levy-chan told her about gajeel's problem, while she's walking she saw a scarlet hair far on the road.
"Ok I'll ask erza-san" lucy ran as she reach erza, she was talking to someone where natsu is sitting on the ground and on the back of erza, when erza is finish talking to the guy lucy smiled.
"Hi erza! Did natsu cause another problem?"
"Hi Lucy, yeah he was, oh why are you doing here?"
"It's about gajeel's problem"
"What happened on him? Is he fine?"
"That iron man is always fine, maybe he needed levy's kisses"
Erza punch natsu's top head while her fist had an armor.
"Shut up natsu, I'll report this to master...lucy we should get back"
Lucy nodded as she also helped erza as natsu is bringing the heavy ones that erza bring. When they got back mirajane was the one who greeted erza then the other follow along... gajeel is still crouching while levy is sitting beside him erza order a cold water from mirajane, then after she recieve it and drink it up she grabbed the back collar clothes of gajeel and pull him. Mirajane and lucy got a sweat from their heads as natsu stared at gajeel were gajeel's finger lift up and only the middle finger is only stands, natsu get an angry mark on his head as he put the things he was bringing on a table but lucy stopped him.
"The hell lucy!"
"Idiot! Gajeel had a real problem"
"Natsu, even mirajane is worrying about him, let erza will handle about him" levy told natsu holding natsu's fist. But cana sat up as macao is guiding her.
"You are all moooorrooons"
"What do you mean?" mirajane ask cana.
"You should at least be the one who were helping gajeel levy" cana point her finger to levy.
"But cana the only thing that levy knew was-" lucy protected mirajane but cana get up and walk towards natsu.
"So what will you do if you knew that gajeel will be dea-"
Before cana finished her words lucy cover her mouth and drag her to macao and natsu's face are hard to paint.
"What the...heck are you saying?"
"Lu-chan maybe natsu can help gajeel"
"Erza can handle him" lucy said holding levy's hand.
"Juvia tells that lucy might be wrong"
"You always rejecting my comments~!"
"What do you mean? Please someone tell me what's going to happened to gajeel?" mirajane ask but staring at lucy.
"Well..."
"Lucy is afraid to tell him, come on natsu he'll be dead sooner!"
"Shut up cana!" lucy shouted.
"What? Can't say the 4 letters?"
"Why will gajeel going to die?" ask mira staring back to cana.
Cana sat on the table and grab a barrel of alcohol and stared back to them.
"If he can't find the person he's looking for he'll be dead like a sleeping beauty and you know about it levy-chan"
Levy shook her head while lucy is comforting her friend.
"Well even though levy knew she can't do anything, cause gajeel didn't tell him what was the person he was looking for and if that happened no one can wake him up, he'll be sleeping like a dead person" cana continue to drink her alcohol. And the silence came to those who heard cana's explanation where a minute pass erza and gajeel got back from the guild.
"What the hell happened here" ask erza as she tighten the grip to gajeel's collar.
All got silence except for cana levy tried to be strong and lucy tries to make her face that nothing happened, cana was the one who walks towards to erza and sat on the side holding her barrel of alcohol.
"Hi erza so did gajeel told you already?"
"He just said to me he only eaten a bad metal so he was having a stomach ache"
"Really is he? Are you sure gajeel you'll just wait for your death?"
"What are you saying cana? Explain" erza let her grip to gajeel's collar bone and cross her arms and focused to cana. But before cana talk natsu punch gajeel with his fire...
"You idiot! Do you think you can get away lying to levy and to everybody!"
"Natsu! Stand back or-"
"I am not in the mood erza..." natsu glares back to gajeel who was only staring on the ceiling. Natsu stand in front of gajeel as he grabbed the collar of gajeel.
"What the hell do you want, flame head?"
"Shut up! I wanna know whose the person your looking for?"
"The hell are you saying?"
Natsu is going to punch gajeel erza stop his fist and push it back.
"Natsu...I'll try once more and get that information you need"
"I only got stomach ache and I needed a medicine for it...does someone had a medicine?" gajeel said while holding his stomach. Other fairy tail members are staring at him angrily levy is wiping away her tears and gajeel notice it.
"Hey bunny girl, did you make the shrimp cry?"
Natsu stomp out as juvia follow him after telling gray that she'll follow natsu. Natsu ran when the rain started to drop he ran until he reach lucy's house where he knew she wasn't there, he sat on the ground as the heavy rain fall natsu silence himself as juvia sat down beside him.
"What are you doing here, juvia?"
"Juvia wants to be at natsu side for a moment since lucy is not here"
"Leave me alone"
"If we all work together and helped gajeel-san he won't be dead"
"Just leave me alone!" natsu get up and stared at juvia angrily. "Just go back to them! I don't need someone!"
"Juvia only wants to be at natsu for a moment of confuse like juvia was!" juvia gets up.
"Tse.." natsu turn back and walk slowly with juvia on her side. Where they wouldn't know someone is following them.
