Summary: Laxus asks help from Jellal and Gajeel on how to get Mira. Doing so leads to the birth of the Gentlemen's Club. However, what will happen when everyone's curious about what their club actually does.
It was a usual rowdy day at Fairy Tail. Cana was chugging down a barrel of beer while uttering almost complete nonsense, Levy was researching a pile of books by a corner while Jet and Droy drooled over her brains and beauty, Erza was eating her fifth strawberry cheesecake for the day, Natsu and Gray were fighting in the middle of the guild as everyone just watched on how normal it was, and Mirajane was by the bar serving Macao and Wakaba.
Mirajane, Sorcerer Magazine's favorite model. She was busily serving drinks and food to everyone yet she still looked really radiant and beautiful.
This was what a certain blonde Dragon Slayer was thinking. He sat by another corner of the guild with his excessively hyper teammates.
"Babies, babies, babies! I've had it with you, Bickslow!" Evergreen screamed on the top of her voice.
"Oh? You jealous, Ever? Don't tell me you want to have babies with Mr. Elfy right over there," Bickslow said and put his tongue out. This enraged the green dressed woman too much which led her to tackle him.
"Oh come on guys, you always quarrel over this! What would Laxus-sama think? Oh, speaking of what he will think, I should continue making my scrapbook for his birthday," Freed said with a very excited face.
"Tch," the Raijinshuu leader muttered. "I'm going to the bathroom and maybe get a little something to drink. Just go on with your nonsense," he lied then walked away from the group.
Upon walking across the room, he tried to be as discreet as possible. He didn't want to get challenged by Natsu again. Not that he was afraid of him or anything. He can beat him without even using any hands. But this was not the time for that. Laxus had a goal for today, and no one, not even the Fire Dragon Slayer was going to keep him from his goal.
"Hi," Laxus said as he sat by the table Gajeel was sitting on with Lily. "Can I talk with you in private?"
"Hmm…" Gajeel smirked. "Okay, I wonder what you need from me. Though, I'm telling you, my services don't come cheap. Excuse me, Lily. Go fly by the other Exceed for a while."
Lily did as told.
"Wait a second first," Laxus said then signaled the bluenette from the opposite table to come to them. He was staring at the redhead beside him who was happily eating her cake, so he didn't notice that the Master's son was actually calling him. Only when Laxus surged a small bolt of lightning to his face was then he broke into his trance. He excused himself to go by the table with the two Dragon Slayers.
"Laxus, I know we've become friends and all after being teammates at the Grand Magic Games and you proctoring for my S-class trial, but you really didn't have to do that," Jellal said a bit annoyed. "You could have just called me like a normal person.
"I don't know Jelman, you were so distracted with Titania eating her cake, I think he called it right to do what he did. Obviously he wants to talk about something secret," Gajeel said with a mischevous smile. "So why did you call us, Laxus boy?"
He started, "I know this isn't typical for me to be talking to you two, but I'm in need for your…" He cleared his throat. "help… and… advice…"
The two were surprised. "Wow. I never knew the almighty Laxus would need help aside from the Raijinshuu," Jellal commented. "So, what can we do for you old chum?" Gajeel asked with a chortle.
His face reddened a bit. "Okay, don't be surprised but… I was thinking if you two could help me get a girl…"
"WHAT!?" the two said in unison only to be both kicked on the knee by Laxus.
"Shhh! Don't make a scene!"
Luckily Natsu and Gray's fight was getting intense that everyone's focus was on them.
The dark haired Dragon Slayer crossed his arms. "So who's the sad lady?"
Looking perplexed, Laxus asked, "What do you mean sad?"
"Well since you're like the frowniest guy in Fairy Tail, your type's gotta be someone not too…happy," Gajeel explained.
"On the contrary, she might actually be happy. They do say opposites attract," Jellal stated.
"Tsch," was all he could utter. His light shade of red turned into tomato red as he subtly pointed to the busy barmaid across the hall.
The blackhead and bluenette gaped with their eyes and mouth wide open. "Wow. You really do need some help, if that's your type," they surprisingly said in unison.
He sighed. "Now you understand my dilemma?"
The pierced man gave him a few nudges on the arm. "This isn't your first time, is it Laxus boy?" Gajeel asked as if waiting to further humiliate the co-Dragon Slayer. Although already asking for advice from them was actually a huge chip on his pride.
"What? Of course not! I've been with other women before. But no one nearly as beautiful and perfect as her…" Laxus said as his voice faltered. It was obvious that it was really hard for him to show off his emotions.
Jellal made a thinking pose by rubbing his chin with his right thumb and index finger. "Well if you really are smitten by her, why don't you just tell her and ask her out? You probably have more experience with women than us. No offence, Gajeel," he stated.
"None taken. I don't really care for girls," he answered non-chalantly.
The two S-Class mages stared at Gajeel with disbelief.
"That's the reason why I decided to talk to you two. Because out of everyone in Fairy Tail, you two are the only ones I know I can talk to who actually have a good chance with their women," Laxus seriously said.
This time, it was Gajeel and Jellal who blushed like tomatoes. "What gave you that idea?!" they said in unison.
"Well, you both seem to spend so much time with the girls you fancy and I hope I could get some advice on how I could do the same with Mira…" Laxus said as he was looking away from a bit of embarrassment. "You see, she kinda views me as a jerk. There's no way I can get near her without her disliking me."
"Actually, everyone thinks of you a jerk. But we hang out with you anyway," Gajeel joked. "Anyway, why don't you just ask your grandpa? He's close to her," he suggested.
"No way! He'll just prohibit me from seeing her. He knows she's too good for me."
Jellal continued thinking. "How about asking someone married? Macao? Wakaba? Wait… maybe not them… uh… Alzack!"
"Yeah… Alzack and I have a complicated past. I hit on Bisca before and he never got over that even now they got married."
"But why us, Blondie? You could ask the Stripper! He knows how to get Juvia's undivided attention," Gajeel said as he tried looking for other possible men who could help out with Laxus's problem.
"I think we all know how unintentional he makes Juvia yearn for him," Jellal explained.
Gajeel then spotted the perfect guy who was having progress with a woman. "How about Salamander?! He sleeps with Bunny Girl all the time." He then realized what he said and decided to take it back. "Oh who am I kidding, that boy doesn't even know what relationships are."
The blonde and bluenette both nodded in agreement.
"Okay, so just tell us this. What makes you think we're experts in the love department?" Jellal asked.
Laxus directed his gaze to the bluenette. "Well, you obviously have feelings for Erza, and it seems that she reciprocates the same feelings to you. I guess you just need a little more push to man up and ask her out. We can work on your self-confidence and obsession over the word 'atone'," He then turned to Gajeel. "And you, don't you dare deny it. You're totally smitten with Levy. The only reason you're not by her side now is because she's working on solving a mission with those two fanboys of hers. If it were any other day, you would be right there beside her buzzing off those sidekicks. You felt sorry for what you've done to her so you do your best to make it up to her. And as much as it was a lot of damage, she now views you as someone very close. You just need to show her that you want to be closer than you already are,"
The two a bit uncomfortable of Laxus analyzing their situations at first tried to think of witty comebacks. Although, in the end they looked at each other and sighed in defeat.
"But you do know what you just said doesn't make us experts," Jellal said.
"I know. But I want to make a deal with you two. Help me get my girl, and I'll help you with yours. Deal?"
"If you need help, why come and help us? Why not ask your underlings to help you instead?" Gajeel asked.
"Have you met the Raijinshuu? They're completely chaotic! If I tell this to them, I'm sure they'll go way overboard to the point of possible humiliation. Plus if I tell Ever, he might tell Elfman. I can't gamble with that."
Gajeel understood him but looked still unconvinced. "Okay. We get it. But how do we make sure after we help you that you will help us?" Gajeel asked. He wasn't totally sold on the idea. Laxus wasn't really keen on promises.
Jellal butted in between of the two and raised a hand in the air as he imagined something was there. "Ever heard of Fraternities or Brotherhoods? We men have to stick together," he said then clenched his fist while still looking at the ceiling. "I personally don't know how I'm going to ask Erza out since I'm still so insecure with everything I've done, but I think Laxus is up to something. I think it's worth a shot helping each other out," Jellal continued, looking all passionate with the idea.
For someone who was usually silent, he was quite the convincing speaker. Then again this came from the man who recruited the Oracion Seis to Crime Sorciere.
The Dragon Slayers could just sweatdrop. They were seeing a new side of the Heavenly Magic mage that they didn't expect.
Laxus just cleared his throat to break the awkward silence. "So are you guys in?"
Jellal made a thumbs up. "Yeah, I'm in. Aside from the goal, the process seems to be a nice change of pace in my life in Fairy Tail. Having a new group might actually be fun."
Gajeel smirked. "Well things are getting boring for me anyway, so fine. What do I got to lose?"
Laxus grinned and offered a hand to the both of them. "Nice doing business with you, gentlemen."
A/N: Obviously this story has just begun. Decided to make a multi-chapter FT fic since I still am far from getting over this anime. Anyway, hope you guys liked this first chapter. Sorry if it was a bit OOC for Laxus, although I really really wanted a friendship between these three. They're just my three favorite male characters in the series (with the exception of Natsu and Gray) But don't worry, I plan to give them more roles (aside from fighting in the background) in the future chapters as well. And of course the Gentelemen's respective love interests. Don't forget to R&R. Constructive criticisms and suggestions are welcome although please no flames? Just a bit new to the fandom.
