One more week until school! *sobs uncontrollably* WHY!? Damn you society! *sigh*

There will be slight GajeelxOC in my story, but the main pairing is LaxusxOC, so don't get upset about me switching around.

Sorry 'bout that…anyways, enjoy!

Home Town

Digit stifled her yawn by shoving her fist in her mouth as she jogged up to the bar of the rowdy guild. Things had been fairly boring lately and she needed to take a job for her rent. Mira picked out an...okay...job for her last time, so she wanted her expertise again for this job.

"Mirajane!" she called to the busy barmaid.

Mira turned away from her current customer and asked Kinana to handle it while she talked to Digit. "What's up?" she asked the techno mage, leaning forward onto her elbows.

Digit ran a hand through her silky ebony hair and sighed. "I need a job. Any close by? I'm not in the mood to travel around Fiore right now."

"Not sure. I'll check if you-"

"Digit!"

Digit froze and spun around to see Natsu and Happy racing towards her at high speed. The pyro's face was beaming and he was jumping around while the exceed's face just looked casual as he gnawed on a yummy fish.

"Digit, Team Natsu is going on a job! Wanna come with!?" he asked so fast Digit told him to repeat it. Twice.

Digit mulled over the idea of being stuck with Natsu and his gang for a while and seemed to shrink back at the thought. If she went, she would have to socialize. Socializing wasn't her high point. Not to mention, Erza scared the hell out of her, Gray and Natsu would fight the whole time, and Lucy….actually, she was okay with Lucy.

"No thanks," Digit responded monotone.

Natsu's face fell, but was soon replaced by stubborn determination. "Come on! It'll be fun! Don't be such a stick in the mud!"

"Aye!"

Digit rolled her magenta eyes and waved him away. "I said no. Bother someone else."

Just as Digit thought Natsu would finally leave, Mira popped up in between the two Dragon Slayers with a big smile. "I think it would be a great idea, Digit!"

The techno mage blinked. "Eh?"

"This would be a great educational experience for you to interact with other mages and observe their different magic abilities. Plus," she added loudly for Natsu and Happy to hear, "you did say you wanted to go on a job," she sang.

Digit glared at Mira who simply giggled evilly in response.

Natsu fist pumped the air. "Yeah! This will be great for your edjumacation!"

Happy sweat dropped. "Natsu…it's education."

"Whatever! Who needs to learn how to spell when I can just burn logic!" the pyro laughed.

Digit face palmed at the pink haired mage and weighed her options again. Since she was certain he would just keep begging until she agreed.

It is just one mission….and Lucy will be there for me to talk to. Hmmm. Lets see.

Natsu-annoying as FUCK, but caring and friendly.

Gray-stripper….and…that's all I know on Gray.

Erza-she-demon who will surely destroy the world and could cook my carcass with her furious devil eyes…..and likes cake.

Lucy-awesome and kind with spirits who I haven't had the time to meet yet.

*Sigh* Why the hell not?

"Fine."

Natsu grinned like he just won the lottery and let out a battle cry. "Hellz yeah! Meet us at the train station in three hours. Come on Happy!" he yelled, storming out the guild with crimson fire exploding from his fists.

"Aye sir!" the exceed cried, flying after his insane partner.

Digit watched the two shoot off with flames and giggles and shook her head in disappointment. All she wanted was a simple job close by and now she was going on an adventure with the Teenage Mutant Psycho Mages.

"What did I get myself into…."

Digit ran a check through her holographic inventory, making sure she had all her supplies stored in her bracelet for the upcoming mission. She had absolutely no idea what the mission was or where they were going, so she prepared as best she could.

"Okay….I think I have everything," she confirmed aloud, nodding her head. "Perfect."

Digit swiped her screen back into her bracelet and skipped happily into her living room down stairs. The room was bigger than her bedroom by a good ten feet and had a big burning marble fireplace with velvet love seats and a long 'L' shaped couch with plush white throw pillows. And on the floor in front of the fireplace was a huge Wyvern scale rug shimmering bright blue.

With a sigh, Digit threw herself onto one of her two violet love seats and sunk deep into the furniture. She still had about an hour and a half before she had to meet Team Natsu at the train station, so she needed something to pass the time.

Digit tapped on the screen of her bracelet, hoping to catch the attention of her digital guardian. "Hey, Gus. Wanna play chess?"

After several seconds, Gus' face appeared on the screen morphed into a scowl. "No."

"Why not?" she almost whined, pouting out her lip.

"Because I never win…"

"It's not my fault you suck," Digit replied with a shrug.

Gus vanished from her screen and a second later, he was standing in front of her with his arms crossed. "Has anyone ever told you that you have no heart?"

Digit narrowed her eyes. "Has anyone ever told you that you have a big head?"

"Big mouth!"

"Baka!"

"Is that the best comeback you have?"

"No. I just don't think you deserve better!"

"Bitch!"

"Homo!"

"I AM BISEXUAL, GET IT RIGHT!"

"AND I DON'T CARE! GET A GRIP!"

"Damn! Bitches be crazy!"

"I am not!"

"Ever since you saw Laxus shirtless, you have just been flirty with him! Crazy. Bitch."

Digit blushed furiously. "I have not! Shut up Gus!"

"Digit has a boyfriend! Digit has a boyfriend!" Gus practically screamed, waving his arms around like a mad man. "Hey! Random stranger on the street!" Gus shouted out her open window. "Digit has a boyfriend! Digit Mayori is in love with Laxus because Digit has a boyfriend! Digit has a boyfriend!"

"I WILL DELETE YOU!"

Gus smirked and stuck his tongue out before vanishing back into her bracelet. Digit punched her bracelet screen as hard as she could, but just light enough so she wouldn't crack the glass with a predatory growl.

"Stupid program!" she growled, jumping off her seat.

"Stupid girl!"

Digit scoffed and stomped towards her front door. Unknown to her, she and Gus had apparently been arguing for an hour and she now had thirty minutes to meet us with Team Natsu.

"Get a brain, Gus! Lord of Mavis!"

"Get a life! Mavis knows you need one."

"AGH!" Digit yelled, throwing her front door open. She quickly grabbed her white hoodie/jacket from beside the door and slipped it odd, slamming the door behind her with a loud boom. Gus annoyed her so much sometimes she could just….

Digit smacked the side of her head to get a grip on her emotions and took a deep breath through her nose. Calmness, tranquility, anything to relax her before she bit Natsu's head off when she got there.

After a while of deep breathing and wrong turns, Digit made it to the train station. The cold winter air, ruffled Digit hair around and made her wrap her arms around herself. She was a little early, but all the team were already there so she shrugged it off and hurried her pace to meet them. Lucy was the first one to spot her and waved her over with a call.

"Digit! Over here!"

Digit followed Lucy's voice and eventually approached the mages. Natsu and Gray were fighting-big shocker there-and Erza smiled warmly at Digit when she came up to them.

"You made it. I was doubting whether you would actually come or not."

Digit was unsure how to respond to that so she simply nodded and waved at Gray and Natsu who had ceased their fight upon seeing Digit.

"Are you pumped up!?" Natsu asked, clenching his fists with an ecstatic grin. He was wearing a long sleeve shirt under his normal vest for the winter and Digit almost smirked at noting even the pyromaniac could get cold. "I sure am! This job sounds so fun!"

Digit shrugged and rubbed her arm above her bullet wound's thick white bandage and through her double layers. She really hadn't thought over what the mission would be about and was still not sure if she wanted to go.

"I guess. You never gave me any details on it," she mumbled, tucking a lock of spiky hair behind her ear. "Could I get a little info on what we are doing?"

Gray sent Natsu a look with obvious distaste. "You forced her to go and didn't tell her about the mission? Your stupidity is almost sad. I would hug you if I actually gave a shit."

Natsu curled his lip at Gray and turned a cold shoulder to the ice mage so he could face Digit fully and ignore gray's comment. "We just have to tear down this old house in a town far north of Magnolia. The mayor of the town said we could destroy it however we liked as long as the house ended up gone. It's in the woods away from the city, so he doesn't mind. Imma gunna burn it all!" he roared with a flaming fist in the air.

"Aye sir!"

Lucy giggled as Natsu was soon punched by Gray for no reason and another fight broke out.

"The reward is also 100,000 jewel, so we each get 20,000," Lucy added, patting down her long fluffy skirt.

Digit bobbed her head in agreement. It seemed like a simple enough job and though she wasn't getting as much pay as she liked, it was better than nothing.

"Cool. What town are we going to?"

Erza cocked her head and pulled the request flyer out from her giant cart of luggage. "Some town called….Vixen."

Digit gasped at the name and took step away from the group as if they were poisonous. Digit wanted to put as much distance between herself and the mages as possible. She kept backing away even as Lucy sent her a worried look.

Vixen…Vixen….

"No," she whispered so low only Natsu heard with his dragon hearing. "No."

Natsu pushed Gray's face away and dusted himself off, onyx eyes never leaving Digit. "What's wrong? Why do you keep saying no?"

Digit let out a shaky breath and stumbled back further. "No….I'm not going."

"Why not?" Lucy asked with a frown. She was really looking forward to going on her first job with Digit, but said mage looked like she just saw a ghost.

"I…I won't go…." Digit repeated, scenes flashing in front of her eyes. She would rather go through hell then step foot in that town. "I'm sorry, but I'm not going. Goodbye," Digit said as she flipped around and began hustling away. Digit could hear Natsu running after her and when his hand grabbed her shoulder, she couldn't help but flinch.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind? You said you would go! Don't chicken out now!" he commanded sternly.

Digit met his hard gaze and shook her head slowly. "I will not go…"

"Digit pl-"

"I'M NOT GOING!" she suddenly screamed, making Natsu jump back. Digit's face was ghostly white and her eyes were panicked. Her face however still held it's typical blank expression. She wouldn't show her emotions no matter what. "I said….I'm. Not. Going."

Natsu reached forward with a softness in his features that Digit didn't expect. "Digit, it's just a miss-"

"No!" she yelled, jerking away from Natsu. "There is no way I hell I will go back there. Ever!"

Natsu blinked. Digit was acting very strange and it greatly confused him. However one thing in particular is what mind boggled him.

"Go back?" he grunted lowly. Digit had been to Vixen before?

Digit quickly caught Lucy's concerned face, Erza's blank face, and Gray's confused face and avoided their gazes on her. Happy was flying just behind Natsu, unsure what was going on as well as the rest of them were.

"Goodbye," Digit said softly, turning away once again to walk away. But Natsu was still determined to find out what was going on and making Digit stay.

"Digit, wai-!"

"I said no!" Digit snapped, breaking into a run and dashing away from the group of confused mages. She couldn't go with them. She couldn't watch them stare at her any longer.

Digit sped through Magnolia's busy winter streets, occasionally bumping into a passerby and stumbling. She didn't care though, she just wanted to get away from everyone and everything. Digit slid several times on a section of the road that was iced over and shivered from the aching cold around her.

Digit spotted a forest in the distance of the city and made her way quickly for the leafless dark wood trees. Sounds whirled past her ears as her feet carried her to the forested nature at the edge of the bustling and bright city.

Spinning past thick icy tree trunks, Digit zoomed through dead bushes and plants, her heart hammering painfully against her chest. She came across a sideways leaning tree trunk after running for who knows how long and finally slowed down.

Taking in gulps of air from running so long, Digit laid against the tree's brown crusty trunk, shivering from the winter that still plagued the city. She was so damn tired of this cold and wanted spring back.

Once Digit calmed herself, she curled into a ball and rested her forehead on her knees, cold sweat snaking down her temples and dripping onto her light white jacket pulled over her black turtleneck.

"Vixen," she said aloud to herself. The way the word rolled off her tongue made her bight her bottom lip tightly as she snapped her eyes shut.

A cold spark trickled through her jacket and Digit guessed it was now snowing. She curled her toes in her fluffy black boots and hugged her legs tighter to her chest. The snow continued to rain around her, drifting slowly through the air and catching on trees.

"Why did they have to go to Vixen?" Digit once again asked herself. She knew no one was listening, so she decided to discuss it with herself. She didn't feel like talking to Gus because he would overreact if he found out and no one was around for miles, so it was just Digit left alone to her thoughts.

Digit sighed and opened her eyes to the white clad scenery around her. The snow had covered most of the ground around her in white clumps and snowflakes were dancing through the air gracefully. Digit managed a small smile and tilted her head in silent wonder of everything around her.

Vixen….out of every city in Fiore….they just had to go to my home town.

Digit rested her now rosy cheek against her knee cap and rubbed her bare hands together to generate warmth. Digit used to love Vixen. After all, it was where she and Databyse lived.

And of course, where she was experimented on.

Digit still knew where her old house was deep in Vixen's forest beside the city. She used to play in the stream that ran a ways away from her house with Gus and star gaze at night from her roof. Vixen's forest was unlike normal forests and had fiery red leaves with pure white trunks and the streams' water was salmony pink-much like Natsu's hair.

Digit let out a puff of laughter at the thought of Natsu when he saw Vixen. The town was truly amazing, filled with warm colors such as yellow, orange, pink, and red with faint grey and white for some buildings.

Digit loved Vixen so much as a child. That is until Dr. Arian captured her. After Digit escaped at age thirteen, the town she used to adore now horrified her more than ever. All the red reminded her of her fresh blood, all the pink was her raw skin, yellow was sickly and devious, and orange was Kai's favorite color.

Though Digit lived in the forest and hardly ever came to town, she went for groceries on occasion with Gus-since she was still four at the time—and to just sightsee. She always found the city beautiful, but the forest was wonderful.

Digit let out another side and wiggled her nose when a snowflake landed atop it. Then a horrible thought entered her mind. What if the house Team Natsu was requested to destroy was her old house? She couldn't let it be torn down. It was all she had in a child hood.

Digit was so terrified of the thought, she paid no attention to the crunching sounds of someone walking through the snow and nearly screamed when a figure materialized from the trees.

"Gajeel!" Digit cried, placing a hand to her chest. "You scared me half to death."

The iron dragon stuck his nose in the air and tugged his big brown over-coat tighter around him. "What are you doing out here, Raven?"

"For the love of…." Digit started, but let it go. "I was just leaving for your information," she informed him, standing up and brushing snow from her jeans.

Gajeel cocked a metal-studded brow at the teen as Digit went chibi faced and blinked her eyes multiple times. Her head kept whipping in every direction and she puffed out her rosy cheeks.

"Well shit…"

"What's the problem?" Gajeel asked gruffly. "You aren't lost are you?"

Digit opened her mouth to protest, but snapped it shut and crossed her arms stubbornly. "I….I just….uh…." she caught sight of Gajeel's smirk and huffed. "None of your damn business!"

Gajeel let out his signature laugh. "Gihihihi. If you ask me, it seems little Raven has been grounded and can't fly away from the big bad dragon. Gihihihi."

Digit's hot pink eyes shot him down and she placed a hand on her hip with a sneer. "Well, no one asked you, so shut up."

"Don't get sassy with me or I won't help you," Gajeel growled, his crimson orbs flashing dangerously.

Gajeel's comment shut Digit up and left the female dragon flabbergasted. Was Gajeel suggesting what she thought he was?

"Wait….you're going to help me get out of here?"

"Not if you keep acting like a smart ass."

Digit was at a loss for words. This was so unlike Gajeel. Since when did he offer help to anyone? Even more so herself?

Digit furrowed her brow suspiciously. "Why? Why the hell would you help me? Last time I asked you for help, you acting like a dick and turned me down. What? Is this a prank to fool with my feelings? Cause if it is, I will drop kick your ass so hard you'll be throwing up the soles of my shoes."

Gajeel was silent for a while and Digit was getting even more weary of his offer for help. This was obviously a prank and Gajeel was dumb founded about being caught.

"I'm...sorry."

Digit let her jaw drop. Was she hearing things? She must be. No way Gajeel could have said what she thought he said.

"Uhhh. Come again?"

Gajeel clenched his fists and avoided her magenta eyes. "Look. I'm fucking sorry, okay? Don't think I mean anything by it, I just think that….you shouldn't mistrust everyone because I was an ass."

"What are you talking about?" Digit asked slowly.

The iron dragon threw up his arms like this was the last thing in the world he wanted to discuss. "Oh my fucking….Just….ugh….last time we talked, you said 'This is nakama? What a disappointment.' Nakama isn't all that bad," Gajeel muttered. "In fact, it's damn pleasant when you want it to be. So, don't be a bitch to everyone 'cause I treated ya' bad one time."

Digit drank in Gajeel's growled and grumbled words. Despite how Gajeel was practically spitting out every word, Digit could tell he meant everything he was saying in his own rude way. Digit was still too stubborn to admit she was sorry or anything like that since Gajeel was still on her bad side, so she just turned her head away and 'humph-ed!'

"Well…I'll take that into consideration. Now, are you going to pull one over on me and not give me any help or what?"

Gajeel was taken aback with an expression like 'Excuse me!' and crossed his arms as well so both raven haired mages had their arms crossed.

"Oh I'm sorry your fucking majesty. Would you like me to let your little ass freeze out here in the woods? Because trust me, nothing would make me damn happier than letting you die of frost bite, Raven."

Digit snickered and rolled her eyes, deciding to tease Gajeel a bit before admitting she wanted his help. "Little ass? You called my ass little, huh? So I guess you were looking at my ass before."

Gajeel blinked slowly, completely confused to what just happened. "W-What?"

Digit smirked. "You pervert. You called my ass little, so you must have been staring at it. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Shame on you."

Gajeel caught onto her after a few seconds of thinking WTF and grinned himself. "Oh of course. You are such a smart ass that I couldn't help but stare at your fat ass."

Digit frowned. "Jackass."

The iron dragon smirked. "Jackass, uh? Who's staring at who's ass now?" Gajeel questioned as he slipped by her wistfully, leaving Digit frozen in stupidity. "Gihihi."

Digit gaped at the laughing Dragon Slayer who was walking through the forest away from her. Digit rolled her eyes and let a smile spread across her face as she hurried after his retreating form.

"What an asshole."

Digit and Gajeel journeyed through the winter forest in silence, talking every now and then to start a meaningless argument or make another ass joke. It was almost half an hour when Digit could just catch the light of town in the far distance, glowing with street lacrimas.

"There it is!" she called, pointing ahead of her to where the light seeped through.

Gajeel snorted. "Of course. I know my way around the forest better than anyone. Don't doubt my methods, Fatass."

Digit growled at Gajeel's comment and instinctively placed her hands on her hips. Her ass was not fat!

"By the way," Digit added with a raised dark brow. "How come you were in the forest anyways? Last I checked, it wasn't normal for people to be in the middle of the woods for no reason."

Gajeel jabbed a finger at Digit with a snarl. "Fuck off, Fatass. I happen to live back there so shut your face. And, just saying, you were in the woods for no reason yourself, Dumbass!"

Digit stared at Gajeel for several seconds in wonder. "You live in the forest?" she asked casually with slight curiosity.

Gajeel shrugged. "Yeah. I have a house back there I built myself. I don't like loud people or the crowded city, so I live alone in the woods where no one can bother me. Plus, I'm far enough away where Salamander can't smell me and break into my pad."

"Lucy bastard," Digit mumbled. Then the techno dragon thought for a second. In a way, Gajeel was a lot like her. He wasn't social, liked to be alone, was pissed at Natsu breaking into his house, lived in the forest, and was a Dragon Slayer like herself. Not to mention, both had black hair. Gajeel was much tanner than Digit and had piercings along with much longer hair, but aside from that and his red eyes, they shared similar appearance. "You know, Gajeel," Digit said, catching the other raven's attention. "You aren't so bad."

Gajeel let that hang out there for a while before replying with a, "Tch. Whatever."

The duo eventually reached the edge of town and let the silence take over again. Though Digit would never admit it, she enjoyed speaking with the iron bastard. Sure he was rude, snarky, an ass, and many other things, but when she really thought about it, so was she.

"Thanks, Gajeel. I would never have found my way back by myself," Digit admitted emotionlessly, hating the satisfaction that wrote itself across Gajeel's face.

"No problem, Fatass. Ever need a favor, ask me. I won't turn you down." Gajeel waved his hand and turned around to trek back into the desolate and quiet woods.

Digit watched him take several steps before a previous thought wafted through her mind. "Gajeel! Wait!" she called, jogging slightly forward.

Gajeel instantly turned around with a tick mark pulsing on his forehead. "Seriously? Already? God, women are needy," he grumbled, walking back towards Digit. "Alright, Fatass. What do you want?"

Digit sweat dropped at the reoccurring nick name and shook her head sadly. She honestly preferred raven over Fatass.

Digit's courageous magenta eyes met Gajeel's crimson ones with a strong emotion that made Gajeel actually feel intimated slightly. Just slightly.

"I need your help," she said sternly.

Gajeel groaned and scratched the back of his head. When he said he would help her, he expected it to be never or in the far away future. But no. Here she was, already asking for help. Because someone was stupid enough to offer it.

"With what? Oh! And next time remind me when I say 'ever need a favor, ask me' to shut the hell up and let you whine to someone else."

Digit dead panned. "Noted."

"Now what the hell do you need?"

Digit frowned. "I'm worried. Team Natsu asked me to go on a job with them to my home town Vixen. And-"

Gajeel snorted. "Your home town is Vixen? The place with the red trees?"

"Yes! Now shut up and listen!" Digit commanded, continuing her request. "Anyways, the job was to destroy a house away from the city. Well, my old childhood house was away from the city in the forest. I'm afraid the request might be to take down my old house and I can't let that happen."

"Okay…so….what does this have to do with me?" Gajeel asked, not seeing a benefitting side to this story for him.

"I want you to go with me and stop them before it's too late! Please? This house means more to me than I care to admit," Digit mumbled, lacing her fingers together.

Gajeel was silent for several minutes. "Tell me….why do I have to go with you?"

Digit didn't respond. She simply ducked her head to avoid his gaze and chewed her bottom lip.

"Oi! If I have to do this, I want to know why!" Gajeel urged harshly.

Digit still kept quiet. She really didn't want to tell Gajeel why she wanted his help because she was sure if she did, he would never let her live it down.

"Hey, Fatass! If you don't tell me fucking why, I'm bailing."

Digit finally stifled a sigh and lifted her eyes to meet Gajeel's. "Because….I'm scared to go alone," she said as lowly as possible, her eyes dull and expression wiped of emotion.

Gajeel was honestly shocked to hear the closed off newbie was scared of something and cracked his knuckles to occupy himself with something while he thought. He wasn't one for helping people because there was usually nothing in it for him and was a waste of him time.

"If you come," Digit continued. "I'll buy you any iron you want."

Gajeel's eyes grew wide as his gaze locked on Digit. That hit a high note in his book. Iron was his life. Seriously, he even had freaking iron stabbed all over him into his skin for crying out loud. And she was offering it? Oh ho ho! How could he refuse?

"Any iron? You swear? No matter how expensive?"

Digit scowled. "You cheap jackass…."

"Fatass," Gajeel warned.

Digit gave in, desperately needing Gajeel's assistance if she wanted to save her house. As much as she wanted to do it alone, going back to Vixen would awake all her fears of Kai and his experiments. She wouldn't last a second by herself. But with a big brute like Gajeel, maybe she could make it and save her home.

"Any iron…I promise."

Gajeel grinned and shook Digit's hand tightly in his much bigger gloved hand. "Deal, Fatass. You got 'yerself a partner."

Digit smiled ever so slightly and straightened her back. "Alright. Let's head to the train station. I don't know how long we were in the woods, but the ride to Vixen is three hours. They probably haven't made it there yet. If we leave right now, we may be able to reach Vixen a little after they do and head to my house while they speak with the client."

"Sounds fine with me," Gajeel grunted.

Digit smiled even wider and took off at full speed for the station, leaving Gajeel in the dust. "Better hurry, Jackass! I'm pretty sure the next train leaves in five minutes."

Gajeel glared after the raven haired girl, dashing after her as fast as he could. Digit sure was a hand full for Gajeel to handle, but though he would never admit it and hated to, he enjoyed the techno mage's company.

Great ass and all.

"You…..you….bitch…." Gajeel moaned as he lay on the wooden seat across from Digit in their compartment. His face was a sickly green and he was sweating so bad he had to take off his heavy winter coat and boots to keep from drenching them.

Digit was across from him, deathly pale and sweating as well. She was breathing heavily and took off her jacket too, leaving her in her black turtleneck. She knew the ride would be awful, but Gajeel there with motion sickness too just seemed to amplify the effect for some reason.

"I…I told you…..we would be…riding a train…..suck it up…..jackass…..only two more….hours," Digit groaned, clutching her stomach as she curled up on her seat. She already clawed away some of the wood from her bench and unloaded her lunch twice.

Only two more hours of suffering to go.

Gajeel punched the wall behind him so hard, the people occupied in the cabin squealed and backed away. He just couldn't take two whole hours of this. He wasn't as bad as Natsu, but after one whole hour, the sickness just continued to wear away at his core. Gajeel hated feeling so weak in front of the newbie however, so he sucked it up and tried to keep as cool as possible so she would look like the one who was suffering more.

Because Gajeel is the ultimate gentleman.

Digit stared out the foggy window as the scenery passed, frowning at the lack of red leaves and white trunks, pink streams and orange tinted sky. She never realized how much she missed Vixen until now…and how much she feared it. Vixen brought up more memories than possible, both good and bad. However, the one thing that scared Digit more than anything about this trip, was that Kai still lived in Vixen.

And he was still after her.

Okay, just wondering.

Should I pair Gus up with someone in this story?

He will get a body later and I thought whether I should give him a girl...Or...guy...or not, so review me what you think about Gus finding love!
