So... This is my first Fairy Tail fanfiction, but I have been a fan of the manga for like... a while, and I have decided that there are not enough fanficiton about any of the pairings. So I thought, why not try my hand at this. I know this is really short, but this is just a preface and if you guys would please tell me if you think you will like this story then review or else I won't bother with it. Oh! And you also need to tell me if you want it to be just a Laxus/Natsu story or a Laxus/Gajeel/Natsu story. I love both pairings and I just CAN'T choose, so I leave it up to you guys!
If you are reading this and also Shenlong High, don't kill me for starting this story... I am sorry!
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail, if I did... well, let's just say that Laxus and Gajeel would become major characters!
"Talking"
Italicized-thoughts
'Italicized'-flashback
Please read and review, I need to know if you like this idea!
Now Beta'd by Mizukaze Nari! Thank you very much!

"I am going to go find Laxus," a pink haired male stated to an old short man, who was sitting at the bar in Fairy Tail. The geezer's eyes, that had been happily shut while drinking his beer, flew open to stare into the determined eyes of an adolescent teenager.
"Natsu, Laxus was expelled. The things he did to this guild will not be forgiven," Makarov said with finality laced delicately in his voice.
Natsu got right up in his master's face and screamed, "I don't care! He is still my Nakama! I have a bad feeling that I can't shake off. Please, just let me make sure he is okay," the pinkett finished in a whisper. He buried his face into his hands and slid down onto his knees, his whole body shaking due to the restraint it took to hold back his tears.
Makarov looked at Natsu sympathetically and gave a small sigh, "You are in love with him."
Natsu jolted upright and stared in disbelief at his master, the tears that collected in the corners of his eyes overflowed and curved their path down his face, "How?" he asked.
"Natsu, Laxus is a dragon slayer, just like you, we both know that means Laxus would need to find a mate who is also a dragon slayer. You weren't of age so I wouldn't let him have you and he couldn't stand that. Laxus attacked Gajeel because Gajeel is closer to your age, but Laxus wanted to show you who was stronger. Most dragons pick mates by strength," Makarov explained, whipping the tears from Natsu's face.
Everything clicked in Natsu's head at that moment as a sudden epiphany came to him, he loved Laxus; Laxus loved him. "I have to go find him!" Natsu gasped and scrambled to get up.
"Not so fast Natsu! You can't go alone. Gajeel will go with you, won't you Gajeel?" Makarov asked turning to Gajeel, who had been listening to the whole argument, with a shit eating grin on his face.
"Do I even have a say in the matter?" Gajeel asked instead of giving an answer.
"Nope!" Makarov said happily. If he had any luck this would play out with Gajeel and Laxus not killing each other over Natsu, but agreeing to share the fire dragon.
