Sting growled storming past Yukino who gave a squeak and ducked behind the bar. Sting had been in a bad mood lately and was taking it out on his guild mates with out really meaning too. To make matters worse Rogue also appeared to be in the same kind of mood and had a dark aura around him at all times that had even sweet little Frosch keeping his distance. The exceeds had no idea what was driving their partners to act like this. No one did. It had started two weeks ago.
During the summer solstice the two had began to act kind of funny. Rogue who would occasionally smile stopped and seemed to revert back into his shell and Sting who was normally so happy go lucky had began to revert to his old more aggressive self. When Yukino out of good intentions had tried to talk to him he actually turned and snarled at her.
That act alone surprised everyone but what surprised them more was Rogue actually shouting at Minerva for apparently not leaving him alone. All she had done was sit beside him and quietly question if he would like to accompany her on a job request maybe get out and blow off some steam and hopefully settle down and return to his old self.
The Dragon Slayer Twins had never acted this aggressive towards their friends before. Frosch stated that Rogue scared him by making all kinds of mean faces. Lector was hesitant to say anything even praise Sting after getting yelled at teeth bared by Sting. Rufus layed a comforting hand on Yukino's shoulder as their guild master stalked by.
Sting seemed antsy for some unknown reason and would sometimes appear to be looking for something or wanting to do something. Even sometimes be seen sniffing the air before turning and snarling at any who got to close to him. Surprisingly enough the two dragon slayers didn't attack one another or snarl at each other like they did to everyone else even their exceed companions.
"I have no memory to base their behavior off of that could possibly be causing them to act like this."Rufus states watching wearily as Sting once more stalks past causing Orga to dodge out of his way to avoid getting snapped at. "KEEP OUT OF MY WAY!" Sting swung around getting right up in Orga's face as he said it his teeth bared a hostile expression on his features.
Orga had no wish to fight Sting having already done so earlier that week and gotten beaten pretty bad by a enraged slayer who didn't hold anything back and he had felt reluctant to harm a comrade who was just seemingly having a bad couple days. Orga stepped back away from the infuriated slayer only to step on the feet of the other.
Accidentally provoking Rogue into snarling and baring his teeth at him. Pretty much everyone in the guild by then had chosen to seek out the relative safety of hiding behind the bar. "I really wish I knew what had gotten into them. Their behavior is beginning to grate on my nerves and test my patience." Minerva comments softly so as not to draw the two pacing dragons attention.
"We've looked into every possible thing it could be and nothing comes up. We even tried contacting Fairy Tail and got no answer. If Sting and Rogue are behaving this way I can just imagine what Fairy Tail must look like with three 1st gen Dragon Slayers in their guild and one 2nd gen. "Rufus sighed tilting his hat down over his face which currently had a piece of the rim missing thanks to both Rogue and Sting who had to all appearances sake found the feather on it irritating and had sent an attack towards it with Rufus's head still underneath.
It was only thanks to his quick reflexes that he had escaped with minimal damage down to his hat. "Shadow Dragon Roar!" Rogue all of a sudden let out a loud cry sending his breath attack flying towards the request board where a job request slip had come slightly unpinned and was flapping slightly in the gentle breeze created by Sting stalking past it at a fast pace.
Seemingly as if triggered by Rogue's sudden attack Sting turned and Sent his own breath attack crashing into the remains of the board decimating it further. "White Dragon's Roar!" All that remained of the board after he was through adding in his own two cents to the destroying the job request board was the job request flier itself that had originally set Rogue off having somehow survived the two attacks launched at it.
The flier drifted through the air to land calmly at the Shadow Dragon's feet. Rogue's eyebrows drew together in a somewhat confused expression as he bent down to retrieve the piece of paper. His ruby colored eyes scanning the page as he read the details of the request. "Hey Sting come check this out." He calls calmly to his partner as if he hadn't just helped destroy an inanimate object for no reason.
"What is it?" Sting asks as he made his way over to peer over his partner's shoulder. "Hey this looks interesting. Stop a bunch of Dark Guild members from terrorizing Onibus station and apprehend them. The reward is good size too. Wonder why no one ha bothered taking this job yet? It sounds easy enough for us to do and we can have some fun beating the snot out of those dark guild members. Sting comments earning a silent nod from Rogue.
No one had been able to go on any requests due to the Twin Dragons' odd behavior as of late they had all been too afraid of what the guild hall might look like if they left them alone to their own devices for to long. "Alright Lector, Frosch let's go we're going on a mission." Sting says getting pumped punching his fist into his own hand a grin spreading across his face.
With that the dragon slayer duo was gone already racing out of the guild with their exceeds hot on their heels flying to keep up with them. Cautiously as if worried they might turn around and come back the rest of the guild slowly made their way out from behind the bar. "Well that was unexpected to say the least." Rufus murmurs brushing off a seat in which to sit in.
"I can't believe they destroyed the request board like that." Orga comments striding over to where it had been. "What I can't believe is how despite everything they have destroyed and damaged these past two weeks those flowers you got from that job have somehow survived. What was the name of them again?" Dobengal asks Yukino who moved to stroke a finger down the velvety smooth black, white and gold petals of a pair of entwined flowers similar in looks to Dragon Snapes sitting in a pot on one side of the bar.
"Their called Dragon's Lovers and they are incredibly rare and expensive they are the new hot item this year in the flower industry. They were part of the reward for completing a job about two weeks ago I choose this one since the colors reminded me of Sting and Rogue our own resident dragons." Yukino says with a bright smile on her face. "Yeah well the pollen is getting everywhere and I feel like I'm allergic." Orga complains sneezing from the thick heavy pollen and fragrance of the flowers that hung in the air. Little did anyone know that those very flowers had gotten their names for a reason.
