Sooooo...I did some research on dragons and I found some things I could work with, it's just a short thing, nothing special. I had to make some things up though, so the things that I found are titled bold.
Conbolt-Is-Fire beta-ed this
When Dragon Slayers Get Sick...Everyone Suffers From It.
Romeo Conbolt had just been in the middle of practicing his Rainbow Fire when he nearly got blasted into the wall.
It had been a weird day for him ever since he had entered Fairy Tail that morning. Well, weirder than usual, at least.
It had started with Levy trying to keep Gajeel as far away as possible from anything that was made from iron, the fact that he was turning green whenever the material was merely mentioned explained enough. Then, not even seconds later, Lucy rushed past him, closely followed by Happy; yelling for Natsu to wait for her since he was in no state to be on his own at the moment, despite his protests. The young boy decided to ignore the few tables and chairs that were burned and slightly charred.
It was obvious what was happening, by now, everyone had gotten used to it.
Once a year, there would be a full month where all of the Dragon Slayers- no matter what generation -would succumb to their instincts. And while everyone had been worried at first, there hadn't been any bad habits so far. It could still happen, but no one liked to think of those possibilities. Besides, it's not like they had the time, babysitting their local Dragon Slayers was a tedious task as is.
And from the looks of it, this season of their 'Dragon Awakening' had started with all of them getting sick.
Honestly, during their sick moments (not counting motion sickness) it was safest if they just stayed home. But since all of them were stubborn as hell, that sadly never happened. It wasn't that the guild didn't want them around. It was just that...Natsu tended to burn everything around him by just simply touching it, which is why he was the one everyone insisted on staying home the most.
Gajeel ironically got sick by the mere sight of iron, and the effect of that 'sickness' was ten times worse than his motion sickness. Sure, everyone felt bad for him, but they felt even worse for Levy. She was the one who was stuck with the literal walking mess for the whole day.
As for Wendy...
As Romeo just got the hang of a new technique with his Purple Flare, the guild doors burst open and a gust of wind flew in; nearly knocking Lily over if he hadn't been holding on to Levy.
"ACHOO!"
As the tiny Sky Dragon Slayer let out a loud sneeze, she accidentally let out a tornado that matched the intensity of her Sky Dragon's Roar and knocked over all the tables and people in the guild.
Romeo got thrown back by the force too and would've hit the wall full force if it hadn't been for Elfman standing behind him. Luckily for him, he got away with just landing on the ground; unluckily for Elfman...he took the hit and crashed through the wall.
Wendy stood in the doorway, staring at the mess she created with wide eyes before shamefully covering her face and squeaking out a weak 'sorry'.
As everyone in the guild (who were still standing) denied having any type of injury to make the young Dragon Slayer feel better- the only thing that was most likely severely hurt was Elfman's 'manly' pride -Romeo tiredly got up from the ground and rubbed the back of his head where he had hit the ground. "It's okay, don't worry," he assured her before looking up. "Are you okay?"
The blue haired girl sniffled and weakly stumbled into the guild, with a worried Carla flying close by in case she needed her help. Nobody was really sure of what the small Exceed could actually do to help her girl; but nobody was going to stop her.
Just as the girl tripped, the Rainbow Fire mage acted quickly and caught her before she could fall; quickly letting her go before she got flustered and her powers got even more out of control in her current state.
"Are you sure you should be here?" He questioned worriedly as he took in her appearance. She looked deadly pale, her eyes bloodshot and her body shivering, but still she put on a fake smile. "You don't look so good." He figured saying she looked awful wouldn't really be the best option.
"I-I'm f-fine-" she stammered weakly. "It's just a s-simple c-cold."
Carla stared disapprovingly at her. "You're nearly dead on your feet, child, and you know it! Stop being so irresponsible and go home!" The white Exceed lowered herself to the ground, crossing her arms and staring up while still wearing that disapproving look.
"Honestly, Carla, I'm f-f-i-" She sneezed again, and while everyone was bracing themselves for another attack, all they got was small tornado's forming around Wendy's two pigtails before they disappeared and left her hair standing up and in a complete mess.
"I think you should go home," Romeo concluded sympathetically. "I can bring you back to Fairy Hills, if you want?"
As Wendy started blushing and protesting, Carla eagerly responded on his offer; dead-set on getting the child home safely.
"Guys, seriously, it's oka- ACHOO!"
This time, Elfman wasn't there to protect him, so Romeo got the full force of the blow since he was standing so close and flew back; crashing into the wall.
Wendy's eyes widened as she tugged on her pigtails nervously. "I'm sorry!"
"I-it's...o-okay..."
Wendy looked down when she felt Carla tugging on her skirt, the white Exceed was staring at the boy with wide eyes; pointing at something that eerily looked like a spirit leave Romeo's body and the young Sky mage nearly fell over from shock.
"Romeo!"
Dragons have a weakness for gold.
"Laxus, come on, this is ridiculous."
"Do not stop me, Mira."
Mirajane sighed and turned to leave. "Fine then," she exited her room and closed the door behind her; leaving the Lightning Dragon Slayer alone as he proceeded to wear every single piece of gold jewelry that she owned.
Dragon's tend to sleep at ungodly hours...if they even sleep at all, that is.
Lucy Heartfilia had seen a lot in her life, especially after meeting Natsu and joining Fairy Tail. Her life just got crazier with every waking breath that she took, but this...This was just too much, even for her.
"Natsu, what are you doing?!"
"Building a fort. Seriously, Luce, is there something wrong with your eyes? I thought it was kind of obvious."
"Aye!" Happy cut in, yelping when Lucy kicked him out of the window. That was one idiot gone, as for the other one...
"Happy!" He cried, watching the blue Exceed go with wide eyes from the safety of his newly build fort.
"Natsu, it's three in the morning."
"So?"
"You can't just break into someone's apartment, steal all their pillows and blankets while they're sleeping and then build a damn pillow fort just because you have trouble sleeping!" She hissed loudly, just barely managing to refrain from screaming. She really didn't need another complaint file against her.
"Technically I didn't break in, you left the window open," he spoke, although his voice was starting to turn a bit unsure. He'd never say this out loud because she'd just use it against him and he didn't like the fact that he agreed on something with the Ice Princess, but both him and Gray had to admit that Lucy could match Erza's level of scariness if you pushed her far enough.
He didn't need dragon senses to see that she was close to reaching that level if he didn't choose his next words carefully.
"That is no excuse! Did you forget that we're going on a job tomorrow morning?!" She was really starting to lose her patience.
He paused, looking up at her with wary eyes but still keeping a playful grin on his face. "Wanna join?"
Alright, that's it, screw her patience.
Lucy stalked closer, fully intent on giving him a single Lucy Kick out the window. She hadn't anticipated that he'd be so quick though.
Just as she reached the entrance of the fort, he reached out and in one swift motion pulled her inside his makeshift fort and close to his body; only giving her enough time to yelp out 'Natsu!' before she was dragged in.
"See? Much cozier, right?" He grinned, even if she couldn't see a thing in the dark.
"Y-yeah, m-much c-cozier..." She didn't know for sure how his heightened senses worked, so Lucy prayed that he couldn't see her blushing face in the dark because of their close proximity. She really prayed he couldn't see.
(Of course he could, but since he had a feeling he was going to get Lucy Kicked if he said anything, he decided against it and just kept his mouth shut.)
...
Meanwhile, a very cranky Kinana was sitting in bed; not being able to sleep properly because she swore she could hear Cobra rambling on and on about random, unnecessary things in the middle of the night.
Bonus: Medieval dragons hated the smell of Leopard's breath.
Yukino jumped up in surprise as a very pissed off Minerva stormed into the guild. When seconds passed and she was the only one who entered the room, worry started to take over and she jumped off her seat to make her way to the angry woman.
"M'lady, is everything alright?" She started gently, figuring she could get that out of the way first.
"Does it look like I am?" She snapped back a bit harsher than was necessary, causing the Celestial Wizard to flinch a little.
"I guess no-"
"It's those stupid, idiotic Dragon Slayers!" She finally responded, not even noticing that she just cut the poor girl off. "They act all tough- especially Sting -but the thing that freaks them out is some damn leopard breath. Not even the animals themselves! But their breaths!"
Yukino's eyes widened, Sting had told her once about the downsides of being a Dragon Slayer. He had told her all about the yearly things they had to go through, and Leopard breath was the one side effect that he hated the most. She really hoped that Minerva hadn't been cruel enough to leave him and Rogue behind with the Leopards.
But then again, this was the woman who brutally beat Lucy, kidnapped and drained Milliana of her magic power, and attacked Kagura after Erza defeated her. Cruel wasn't really something new to her, even if Sting was their current Guild Master.
Minerva's look turned sinister as a dark smirk appeared on her face, and Yukino already feared for the worst.
"Oh, I just gathered a bunch of leopards and tied the mighty Twin Dragons of Sabertooth to each other before dropping them in the middle of the over sized cats."
