Here you go my readers. I very much enjoy this chapter, I hope you agree. Blah.
Gajeel greedily gulped down the hot liquid, hoping to wake himself up, and get a better sense of the situation. He slowed down when he saw the odd look he was receiving from Laxus.
"I guess you really like coffee. Noted. Eggs good for you? I'm not in the mood to make anything complicated." Laxus turned around to the stove, the carton already out. He cracks two eggs in the skillet, neither yolk breaking.
"How do you prefer them?"
"Scrambled. Thanks." Gajeel mumbles out, trying to get his mind around what was happening. Finally he spoke up about the situation, "Why am I here…?"
"You fell asleep at the river, I carried you here because I don't know where you live."
Gajeel just nodded at the information, trying not to blush. 'He carried me… fuck.' The metal heads inner turmoil was spiraling, he couldn't actually like the man, could he?
Laxus finished making his guest his eggs, he turned and was able to see the commotion going on. He set the eggs down next to the mug of coffee and goes to make himself eggs.
"You're thinking too loud." Laxus voiced, catching the metal eaters attention. "What's on your mind?"
"Nothing that concerns you," was Gajeel's quick response.
"I can hear the speed of your heart, so that lie is apparent as fuck. Now spill."
"Why didn't you leave me at the river?"
"Because I'm not that big of an asshole. We're part of the same guild."
"Okay." Gajeel looked down at his eggs, the confusion in his head dwindling a little with the explanation given.
The eggs were really great, truthfully. Gajeel wondered if Laxus was a really good cook, but kept it to himself. Once Laxus finished making his food he sat next to the blacknette, beginning to eat his own food. After around two minutes Laxus noticed the way Gajeel shook, just a little, as if he was cold.
"You can put the coat on. I know it's pretty damn cold here in the mornings."
Gajeel turned a little pink, he had been hoping that the blonde wouldn't notice his discomfort. It took some time, but finally Gajeel resigned to the cold and slipped the coat over his shoulders, relishing in it's warmth.
"It suits you." Laxus spoke before going back to his own food.
Later on that day Gajeel was at the guild, still very confused about that morning, listening to Natsu bitch about how there were no good missions to go on. He had been going on about for a long time before a different conversation started up.
"Gaj, where were you this morning? I came over to see if you wanted to go on a mission with me." Levy questioned.
"I was at Laxus' house." This statement gained some attention to the discussion.
"Why?" Asked Levy, obviously confused, knowing about his small problem with the man.
"Spent the night." Everyone's eyes widened at fraction.
"You slept with Laxus?" Came Natsu's shrill reaction, this brought a full on blush to Gajeel's face.
"No! What the hell Natsu?!"
"People don't stay at Laxus' house, unless he's bed them." Mira supplies as she stood behind Lucy, having heard the conversation.
"That's definitely not what happened."
"Than what did happen?" Inquires Levy.
"He was training at the river, and I fell asleep. He took me to his house."
The others kind of just smirked at how Gajeel continued to blush without realizing.
"That doesn't sound like Laxus at all…" Mira thought aloud.
The short discussion Gajeel had had with his 'friends' had given him more of a reason to be baffled at his situation. He really hated feeling the way he did. It drove him nuts to know that he might be crushing on Laxus. 'He's an asshole, fucking rude, annoying, a good cook, hot… fuck!' Gajeel shook his head and got up to leave. The others looked at him, but said nothing. By the look on his face they knew he didn't want to be bothered. By anyone.
His house wasn't too far from the guild so Gajeel made it home pretty fast. He was frustrated and out of it. He went straight for his bathroom. A good shower would definitely help, especially if a thick piece of metal to chew on was involved. Before he made it to his bathroom he grabbed a pipe that was laying around and brought it with him.
He stripped and hopped into his burning shower, enjoying the layer of steam and droplets of scolding water washing away his thoughts. After standing under the rain from the shower head Gajeel brought the pipe up to his mouth to bite, before he did he took a good look at it. 'This is a perfect size to fuck myself with…'
A loud clatter echoed in the bathroom as the piece of meatal crashed to the tiled floor, barely missing his foot.
