Okay… First story for this site… Hope it is good and you all like it… and that I put it on right…
Well, enjoy~
Gin looks at Gazille. He wasn't scary to her. He was magnetic. And she couldn't pull her eyes away. Her mother had urged her to come to Fairy Tail a little before she had passed on. Her mother had been in the guild before giving birth to Gin. Gin's magic was metal based, and Lucy had commented to her on how it was so romantic that both Gin and Gazille used metal related magic.
Slowly Gin began to feel that way too. But she would never be able to capture the dragon slayer's eye. He was to strong to need anyone, and even if he did he had his pick of Levi and Lucy.
Gin was just…Gin. Nothing special. Short brown/golden hair, short stature, virtually none of the assets most other female mages in the guild had, freckles, and golden eyes didn't appeal to most men. Not to mention none of the assets of the other female mages in the guild. Her magic wasn't all that special. She could be a shield, or make metal out of virtually anything, or could coat her body or others in metal. Also, did she mention she had none of the assets of the other female mages in the guild?
She had a chest so flat is might was well act as a sign that said she would never get a boyfriend, love interest, or husband. Ever. She'd end up as the creepy old lady with to many cats. It made no sense to her. Her mother had been well endowed in the chest area, and her sister had a normal body. Why did she get the bad genes?
Freckles for god's sake.
And she didn't dress like Erza, or Kana or Lucy… She wore a white tee-shirt with the Fairy Tail symbol on it, green shorts with plenty of pockets, a brown vest that went down to her knees, brown fingerless gloves, and boots were her usual attire. The most she ever did with her hair was put it back with some sunglasses or in a ponytail. Her Fairy Tail tattoo was on her shoulder, much like Natsu's.
Speaking of the fire dragon slayer, he was now brawling with Gray a little to close for comfort to Gin. "Hey, guys… could you sto-" She was cut off as grays pants hit her in the face. Somehow the exhibitionist had gotten them off in the middle of the fight and they had been thrown aside to hit her. She gags and jumps up and away from the fight as others laugh. She winces, knowing her face was beet red. Thanks to another crappy gene she had practically clear skin that would glow when she blushed.
With her luck Gazille probably saw that entire thing. How mortifying. She felt like crying.
"Aw, I'm sorry about them Gin-chan." Lucy takes her hand and makes her sit with the blonde, Jubia, and Erza. The water element user was glaring daggers at her. I didn't ask for the pants to the face… Gin thinks miserably and looks down at the table.
"It's fine." She mumbles.
"Have you taken any missions lately Gin-chan?" Erza asks.
"Gin is fine I've told you that, and no I haven't…. Perhaps I should, since my rent will be due soon." She sighs in a depressed way. " But the ones on the board all seem to hard…" She feels her eyes tear up again and drops her head. Another great family trait, weakness. Or maybe it was just her. Her mother had never cried, not that she remembered anyways.
"Why don't you partner with some one?" Jubia suggests and looks around. She seemed to get over the whole Gray pants thing pretty quick. "Hm, how about Elfman?"
"He is busy."
"Kana?"
"She scares me."
"Natsu?"
"He scares me more."
"Gazille-kun?" Jubia asks at last, looking at the iron dragon slayer who was at a back table. His head jerks up at the sound of his name.
"….He wouldn't want to go on a mission with me." She squeaks, dropping her head down and out of sight.
"Have you asked him?" Erza asks and watches as Gin's face goes scarlet.
"No…" She mumbles, trying to hide the blush and failing.
"Gin-chan has a crush, Gin-chan has a crush." Happy sings. That cat came out of nowhere. He was like a ninja.
"Be quiet cat." Lucy orders. "This is no joking matter, Gin-chan obviously needs rent." Lucy says seriously, able to connect with her over the dire need for rent money.
"Let's ask Gazille-kun." Jubia jumps up and was over to him before Gin could stop her. She groans and debates hiding under the table. Anything to escape this.
"Oh come on." Lucy orders, pulling her up and away from the table before she could further execute her escape.
"Lu-chan, please, no." She squeaks, pulling back as best she could but the blonde was shocking strong.
"…It will be fun Gazille-kun. Gin-chan is really nice and she really needs her rent money." Jubia smiles as she talks. Gazelle lazily looks over at Gin who hides behind Lucy. The iron dragon slayer snorts.
"No way. I'm not pairing up with some weakling so she can get some money. When she has the guts to ask me herself then maybe I'll consider it." He sneers cruelly. Gin feels her insides constrict. Tears well in her eyes, of course Gazille was right. She pulls away even as Lucy tries to comfort her and Jubia starts to yell at Gazille. She runs for the exit, causing Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Mirajane to look her way.
The embarrassment was tangible and tasted like salt on her tongue. But then again that could've just been the tears she swallowed as she gasped for breath.
