Gajeel led Natsu through the town taking the back alleyways instead of the main road creating a much longer route to Gajeel's home. Natsu was about to start complaining about the detour all around the town causing them to be delayed in finding Laxus, when the fire dragon slayer saw a wide open field with heaps of scrap metal sitting around an inviting log cabin.
Natsu admired the beautiful outside of what looked to a hand-made cabin, his fingers gliding along the sanded surface of the logs. "Are you just going to stare and feel it or do you want to come inside?" Gajeel asked in a snide tone, but the blush covering the tops of his cheeks just made him look adorable and contradict his harsh tone.
Natsu looked at Gajeel and nodded dumbly and followed him like a lost puppy. Natsu stared at the interior in disbelief. 'The outside was so beautiful! How could the inside look like such a dump?'
The walls were marred with deep gashes and some not so deep scratches. There was even more metal than outside and it only had one room! It didn't have a kitchen or a separate bedroom. In the corner of the room, there was a bed and beside it was a metal dresser to store his clothes.
"Why do you look so heart-broken Salamander? This is Lily's room!" Gajeel snapped Natsu out of his harsh scrutiny of the room.
Gajeel walked to the opposite corner of the room from the bed and pushed a spot on the wall. There was the sound of chains clinking and gears grinding and the wall lifted. Gajeel motioned for Natsu to follow him and the fire breather was happy he did.
This room was made purely out of shiny, sparkling metal. The only thing that wasn't metal was the bed. The walls had intricate carvings of… a dragon and a… boy?
Gajeel noticed Natsu looking at the walls with interest he explained, "Each carving is a different moment I shared with Metallicana… Even if he was a selfish bastard we still had good times together."
Natsu continued to examine the room and once he was done he sat on the bed, which was the worst mistake he could have made.
His weight seemed to have caused the sheets and mattress to release all of Gajeel's scent into the air. Natsu tried not the inhale the addicting scent of the other, but the odor seemed to wiggle its way up his nasal cavities.
"Salamander, let's go. You're aroused and if we stay in here much longer I won't be able to resist you." Gajeel growled while throwing everything he owned into a bag.
Natsu ran out of the room and tried to calm himself down, not only from the smell, but Gajeel's words as well. 'I thought that the scent got to him at my house, but maybe… No! He can't be attracted to me! I mean such a potent smell would arouse anyone… Yeah! That's it!'
"Lily! Are you coming?" Gajeel shouted, nearly causing Natsu to shit his pants.
"C'mon Lily! It will be fun!" Happy said while pulling on the other exceed's arm.
"Fine!" Patherlily growled, but he let himself continue being dragged.
"Well let's get this over with." Gajeel sighed as they walked out of his house.
'I need to learn how to control myself better around Natsu!'
'Gajeel can't be attracted to me… He likes Levy….'
