I probably shouldn't be starting this fanfic with three others seeing as I'm an irregular updater but this idea kept rolling in my head for a while so tada. *raises hands in fear* Hope you enjoy this new fanfic :D

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. Hiro Mashima does.

-how to dream again


With so many dragon slayers in Fairy Tail, Sabertooth and Crime Sorciere, it was always inevitable that this would happen. The emergence of a dragon slayer bro code binding all the dragon slayers with the exception of the only girl slayer, Wendy.

The rules of the dragon slayer bro code had to be upheld or else a certain punishment would be inflicted upon the rule breaking dragon slayer that would last for the period of one week.


Rule #1: Always have your fellow dragon slayer's back. No exceptions.

"NAATTTTTTTTSUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Lucy's high pitched scream of anger could be heard from afar by many of the guild's curious ears right before Natsu charged into the guild hall, a nervous guilty expression pasted on his face.

Everyone simply returned to what they were doing, already used to the crazy antics of Natsu driving Lucy into an insane rage and they did not want to get into her warpath. Hell hath no fury like a Lucy scorned.

"GAAJEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!" Levy's shout of rage made them all shiver.

At that moment, Gajeel charged in, only a few seconds after Natsu, wearing a similar expression to his fellow dragon slayer on his face.

"Natsu, Gajeel, good morning…?" Mira stepped forward, wearing a bright smile but the matchmaker's eyes gleamed for information,

"Hey Mira." Natsu waved exhaustedly while Gajeel could only nod.

"What did you two idiots do this time?" Laxus, now slightly nicer after his time away from Fairy Tail, demanded.

Natsu and Gajeel, as if noticing the other's presence for the first time both nodded to each other before grabbing Laxus and huddling at a table in a dark corner of the guild hall.

"What on Earthland was that about?" Lisanna questioned.

"Maybe they're having a secret bromance session." Cana piped up, taking a big gulp from her tankard.

Mira giggled, her matchmaker senses tingling. "Maybe…"


"Why the hell did you bring me here?! Do you know how suspicious we look?!" Laxus angrily said.

"I may have said…something….to Luce about her…scent…and told her not to wear white…" Natsu said sheepishly.

"Same with me. Except I mentioned the specific words changed scent to Shrimp." Gajeel rubbed the back of his head.

Laxus groaned, putting his head in the palm of his hands. "You practically told them that you could smell that they were going through…that time of the month..."

"I was just trying to be helpful." Natsu protested weakly.

"Trying to save the Shrimp from some embarrassment." Gajeel said.

"And you didn't think that Lucy and Levy, possibly the two smartest girls in the damn guild couldn't infer from what you said that you could smell their changed scent," Laxus mocked sarcastically.

"I…in..ffe..r…?" Natsu asked.

"It means deduce, you flame brain!" Laxus stated angrily.

"You have to help us Laxus." Gajeel told the lightning dragon slayer.

"What?! Why would I risk my neck for two idiots who told two girls that they could tell they were on their fricking ladies' time?!"

"The dragon slayer bro code." Natsu and Gajeel said simultaneously in serious tones.

"Rule number one…" Natsu began.

"Always have your fellow dragon slayer's back…" Gajeel continued smirking.

"No exceptions." They chorused together.

"What was with that finishing sentences…are you two…like together?" Laxus replied smartly, determined to get the last word. Even if he lost this battle with the two dense slayers, he would win this war.

"Stop finishing my sentences, metal nut!"

"Right back at you, pyromaniac!"

As the two squabbled like a married couple, Laxus thought about how to remedy the precarious situation.

"Damn that code…" He mumbled under his breath.


Laxus Dreyar, the lightning mage of Fairy Tail and renowned for his strength wasn't the type to be afraid of many things. However, there were some things that did. These included his grandfather, the Master's wrath, Mira crying and…

and now I have a new addition to that list, Laxus thought wryly.

After all who wouldn't be afraid of a severely angry and embarrassed Lucy and Levy on their ladies' time after the blood of the two dragon slayers who were depending on you to get them out of their looming deaths because of some bro code.

FML. There's no better way to phrase this situation. Laxus thought.

Just then, the doors of the guild slammed open, and at each door, both almost torn off its hinges was a raging Lucy and Levy.

"Give Natsu…" Lucy said ominously.

"...And Gajeel…" Levy continued in the same tone.

"To us…To us…" They chanted.

Laxus withheld the urge to use the couple remark again and instead held both his hands up in a let's-keep-the-peace gesture as he moved to stand in front of the two girls while Natsu and Gajeel huddled together at the back of the hall, trying to make themselves as small as possible.

"Laxus…we have no business with you." Lucy stated tonelessly.

"Just give them to us." Levy said.

Laxus shivered. The tables had truly turned. The two young mages who normally felt intimidated around the older slayer now practically overpowered him with their stark gazes alone.

"Now now ladies…calm down. You need to know everything before you overreact."

From the corner of his eye, Laxus could see Mira who had read the situation, shaking her head as if to say, 'that was not the right thing to say. Goodbye Laxus.'

"OVERREACTING LAXUS?! THIS IS OVERREACTING! Solid script, FIRE!" Levy shouted, her fingers glowing as she used her magic to direct fire towards Laxus. A warning.

Laxus barely dodged and the fire was gobbled up by Natsu, enraging Lucy when she spotted him.

"Come here, Natsu, Now." Lucy ordered.

"Don't think I can't see you either Gajeel. Come. Here. Now." Levy demanded.

Laxus sighed, seeing only one solution. Using his quick as lightning speed, he flashed to the backs of Lucy and Levy and knocked them unconscious in an instant.

However, in the next instant, he was punched in the face by two angry fists, one flaming and the other metal.

"How dare you touch Luce?!" Natsu snarled, the floor beneath him steaming.

"Laxus." Gajeel growled as he held Levy to him protectively.

Groaning, Laxus shakily got back up, the only thought running through his now sore head being, I seriously hope that stupid dragon slayer bro code backfires on them. Karma be a bitch for them. Just once, for my sake.


"Dragon senses?" Lucy asked curiously, now tied up and feeling much calmer. An overprotective Natsu still remained by her side, unwilling to let her out of his sight after seeing her unconscious state.

"That's right. As a dragon slayer, our senses are much more enhanced, particularly our sense of smell. As a result, we can smell many things including that time." Laxus responded, a bandage wrapped around his head.

"But how could they predict…that time…?" Levy asked embarrassedly, shivering as she felt the piercing stare of the iron dragon slayer who was sitting away but keeping an eye on Levy.

"That's because they're attuned to your scents."

Lucy and Levy blushed.

Laxus, sensing the tide of the argument was swinging in his favour, continued on. "If they're really close to the person, they can easily predict certain things by their scents because they become used to it."

"I wonder what I smell like," Lucy mumbled to herself which Natsu heard with his enhanced hearing.

"Vanilla and strawberries and…cinnamon." Natsu replied to her unanswered question, saying the last part almost smugly.

"How about me Natsu?" Levy inquired curious.

"Books and chocolate and…ugh metal." Natsu wrinkled his nose at the last one. Gajeel, listening to their exchange, smirked.

Lucy and Levy exchanged looks, hiding their shy blushes and big grins, though their happiness at Natsu's words quickly cleared up the previous atmosphere leaving behind a joyful one.

"You're forgiven Natsu." Lucy smiled warmly at him making Natsu feel like butterflies had flooded his stomach.

Levy waved at Gajeel, smiling brightly and he knew he was forgiven.

Laxus leaned back in his seat exhausted, now that everything was fixed between the dragons and their chosen partners.

"You've worked hard Laxus. This is on the house." And when Mira flashed her bright smile towards him, Laxus could only smile that his role for today had ended well.

He nodded once towards Natsu and Gajeel, signalling that he had upheld the dragon slayer bro code and that they both now owed him.

Getting up, Laxus, holding the tankard that Mira had given him, waved goodbye as he headed up to the second floor.


"Natsu. Gajeel." Erza's voice sounded throughout the guild, followed by the menacing sound of her cracking her knuckles.

Natsu and Gajeel both shot up from their seats and ran towards the exit. But it was too late. Erza and several other girls awaited them with menacing eyes.

They looked up to Laxus pleadingly but he mouthed the words: There's no rule in the dragon slayer bro code on this. You're on your own. Ha…ha.

"We hear you have…dragon senses? Giving you…" Erza asked, casually requipping to a bigger sword.

"Enhanced sense of smell…" Cana drunkenly stated, waving her cards which shone with the glow of her magic.

"Enhanced sight…" Juvia said, holding water in both hands.

"So you can see and smell almost everything…and anything…" Lisanna continued, summoning her Tigress takeover.

"And enhanced hearing…" Mira said cheerfully, though her voice clearly shook the dragon pair the most, judging by the way they clutched each other for dear life.

"Whatever you have heard, smelt and whatever you will hear or smell, you better keep to yourself. Understand?" Mira asked but it was clear to them that it was a demand.

"Understand?" The crowd of girls asked ominously.

"We understand. Completely. Absolutely. One hundred percent." The two dragon slayers saluted the girls.

Laxus looked on smirking.

Karma sure is a bitch, ain't that right Natsu, Gajeel.
