S.R: Hiya everyone! This is one of three story ideas that came to me around New Years that I just couldn't get out of my head. I've been working on them and a few other things since then, but my beta readers just gave me the green light on this one. The other two should be following within the week still. Before I start this one I want to explain it. Ahem This is a series of short stories about the dragon slayers daily life at the guild and will have stories from their pasts as well. The reason for that is in this version of Fairy Tail the dragons had a yearly festival that they took the slayers to and that is how they met. Due to that I will also have rewritten version of they cannon meetings between the slayers so as to help reinforce the idea that they already know each other. My OC dragon slayers from Soaring Dragons will be making guest appearances in the stories and maybe a few daily life chapters as well. With that I'm done here and starting it off with the cannon meeting of Natsu and Gajeel.
NARRATORS POINT OF VIEW
Today we find ourselves in the middle of a fierce battle between two guilds. The guilds known as Fairy Tail, and Phantom Lord. The reasons they are fighting is not why we are here however. We are here to see the interactions between Fairy Tails Dragon Slayer Natsu Dragneel and Phantom Lords Dragon Slayer Gajeel Redfox. For you see they already know each other, but are the only two in the entire city that know this fact.
As it is right now Gajeel is just looking for the perfect moment to attack Natsu. Natsu on the other hand is using one of Gajeel's guild mates as a club, swinging him around and using him to harm others in his way. Ah there it is, Gajeel just turned his arm into a metal pole and extended it to hit Natsu backwards as he throws the man he was swinging around. The attack connects and knocks Natsu backwards into his fellow guild mate Gray. "Watch what your doing flame brain!" Gray yelled in anger. Normally Natsu would yell back and they'd start an argument that turns into a fight but this time Natsu just yells out "Hey Metal face, if that's the best you've got I'd rather fight Vance!" Gajeel in anger at being thought of as weak jumped down to fight Natsu face to face while saying "That bloody bastard ain't got nothing on me and you know it fire breath!"
The two proceed to have an all out slug fest will insulting each other and referencing other dragon slayers as being a better fight. This happens for all of twenty minutes. By this time they're the only two left fighting and everyone else is wondering what the hell they're talking about. Eventually the two have seperated and stand panting heavily. "You know what Salamander? I actually missed this. It's been too long since I've had a decent fight" Gajeel says giving a happy and satisfied gin. Natsu giving a similar grin replies "Ain't no one that can fight like another dragon slayer. I'll give ya that much at least." With their thoughts said they go right back to fighting until it's time for Fairy Tail to fall back and leave.
As he exits the building with his guild Natsu calls back over his shoulder "Next time you won't be getting off so easily scrap iron!" only for Gajeel to respond with "I'll kick your ass any time Salamander!"
