Chapter 7: Weaknesess

Laxus' P.O.V.

It was instantaneous. As soon as my foot touched the train wagon, I felt that horrible dizziness in my stomach, making me wish I hadn't eaten anything. I knew the thing hadn't started moving yet, but still… disgusting.

I saw that Girl passing me by, with a knowing smirk on her face, before I followed trying my best to hide my weakness.

"Does this happen very often?" She started asking after we were all seated.

"Well, yeah, Dragon Slayers tend to get a bit of motion sickness…" Levy explained.

"What's a Dragon Slayer?" She asked, innocently. Patiently, the girls explained everything there was to know about our magic.

"Ooh… then Laxus is a Dragon Slayer too?" She directed those brown-greenish eyes at me. "He doesn't look very sick" I swear I just saw a mocking flash in her eyes.

"Hum… now that I think about it, Laxus, how do you manage?"

"I'm Laxus Dreyar. Got no weaknesses" I managed to say.

At that moment, the train started moving, and I felt as if my organs had been ripped off me, cut, mixed as if it was a salad and put back in again.

"That reminds me… Do you mind if I try to copy your energy, so I can get better?"

The Girl went back to sitting astride on me, and putting her hands on my temples, I felt my motion sickness blowing away. I started laughing, drawing looks from the other mages as if I had gone crazy. More that I'm back from crazy.

"As I told you, no one will find any weaknesses on the great Thunder God! Not like this two weaklings! Hahahaha." The Slayers grunted in response, too weakened to properly reply. I kept laughing until the train jolted, making Aria landing on my crotch, effectively cutting off any desire to laugh. I tried to supress the groan that tried to exit my throat, but from the laughs I received from the girls, I knew I had only half-succeeded.

"No weaknesses indeed" Laughed Titania.

And with that, I was more aware than ever of the soft, warm body on top of me.

After a second jolt, a question shot out of my mouth, so fast that I didn't have time to think it through.

"Is-it-necessary-to-be-like-this?!"

"Well… If I'm not in front of you, I can't overwrite information, so, if you figure out another way to be in front of me, without sitting like this, please, I'm all ears" I growled. Think of something gross…Puppies abandoned! An arm cut! Ichiya! And Gramps! Naked! Urg, that's too muchDizziness is back…

"Why, Laxus? Wasn't it that you had no weaknesses?" The girls laughed

By the end of the travel, however, I was grateful not to feel the motion sickness back. The embarrassment was worth it.


"Laxus!" The shout echoed through the station as we got off the train. "You're back!"

"Freed, don't go crying around such a stupid thing" I said, stroking his head. He was the little brother I never had.

"Tch. Don't make us worry about your disappearance then. Tell us next time you decide to go on a mission!" Ever scolded. Yup, a sister indeed.

"Hehe, he surely was banging some woman's brains out!" Bickslow commented, his tongue rolling out of his mouth. Yeah… he's… just some perv.

"And who might this gorgeous girl be?" Freed asked, raising Aria's hand to his mouth.

"Hey!" I grumbled, without even realizing. Shit, that happens too much lately.

"Heh, surely the girl he gave a lay"

Thinking about it, my reaction might have been a bit out of the blue, and maybe, maybe, slightly disproportionate. But seeing Freed getting close to her, and hearing Bickslow as if she was some whore… Yeah, I might have exaggerated a bit.


Gajeel's P.O.V.

I watched in amusement Laxus going berserk. Now that's something I could never grow tired of seeing. The poor idiots started running all around the station, the huge man behind him as if he was some Godzilla on a rampage. Well they have that well served. Gihi.

After half an hour- it all ended too soon- they had managed to calm the Slayer down. They came back to the place where the girls, Natsu and I were seeing everything from, still tense from the adrenaline that was running through their veins.

"… don't know what came into me." I heard from afar.

Wait, what?! I dragged Natsu from the group as silently as I could.

"Explain"

"Huh?"

"Why does Thunderbutt not explain she is his mate?"

"Oh, he must be shy" I sighed in exasperation

"Natsu. Focus. Has Laxus ever said, commented or recognized Aria as his mate?"

"Um…" Gears turning "No, I think he didn't"

"Oh, hell"

"Maybe he doesn't want to make it public?"

"Or he doesn't know"

"Haha, how won't he know? Igneel was always pestering me about all the mating thing, so his dragon must have…"Took you long enough. "Oh, hell"

"Yeah… you know, weaklings like us, we are going to have so much fun…"

Our lips curved in twin sadistic grins.

"Well, they asked what we felt towards her, they never asked about why we felt it".

Mating is a very strong linking. And dragons are possessive as hell. So, after centuries of jealousy and blood, survival instinct made sure that dragons instinctively felt antipathy towards other dragon's mates, as soon as the destined couple met each other. Of course, Second Generation Laxus Dreyar didn't have a dragon to teach him about all aspects of mating. But come on, he should have known! After all, Lucy Heartfilia never went down well on him or on me after Natsu met her. Shrimp, they both knew before I met her. So yeah, we feel antipathy towards other's mates, but that doesn't keep us from making friends. It is as if a human met someone who, at first, they don't like. It's as easy as getting to know the person for the effect to disappear… Though you should have a reason for wanting to get past that instinct, especially being a Dragon Slayer. Oh, but had we got reasons… Gihi.


Aria's P.O.V.

"So, when did you two meet?" The iron mage asked on the way to the guild.

"Couple days ago, Gi… Aria here came into the guild demanding to be a member." I beat your ass… "And Gramps accepted. So, after some chat I decided to show the new member what it means to be an S mage, took a mission…" Fainted… "and after I beat that Wyvern's ass we found Team Natsu." And then I protected you again. I smiled. You are just leaving the fun parts

"That doesn't sound like you, Laxus" Freed reasoned.

"Yeah, this little chick here got you under her control, huh?" Gajeel provoked

"Well, this little chick here is stronger than she looks, you know? She could even be close to my level."

"WHAAAT?!" Everyone not in Team Natsu jumped. I smiled. You are truly going to keep your word. I felt something warm in my chest and smiled.

"Yeah, you better not try to start a fight with her, you hear me? My… Ehem… She will beat you to a pulp"

"N-no! I wouldn't do that! I would never…" A heavy hand landed on my head, in an attempt to calm me down.

"I know you wouldn't do that" Laxus' voice was gentle and full of trust. "But that doesn't excuse the fact that you could keep up with me during the mission"

"I want to see you two fighting" Gajeel mentioned "That would be the only way I trust you, man" My body buzzed in excitement at the mention of a fight. I still wanted to see more of Laxus' lightning. It was a beautiful magic.

"Yes! Can we? Please? Please?"

"I don't think…"

"But you promised to show me what being a real S mage means! And you said you still had a lot to show me! I want to see your magic again"

Laxus' P.O.V.

"You want to?" I couldn't understand what had gotten into her, but she suddenly changed her timid attitude for one full of excitement and smiles. I looked at her eyes, trying to avoid her contagious smile, and found them sparkling. She's just too cute… Wait. No. She's… To hell with this! She's the cutest girl I've met.

"Yes! I promise, I won't use my unsealing words!"

"Unsealing words?" Freed suddenly became very interested, probably because he didn't know about that and was eager to learn something new.

"Yeah, those words I said in the room?" Team Natsu and I nodded, the dark memory replayed in our minds "When I was angry. Those unleash a power that was sealed within me."

"Why would you want your power sealed?" Bickslow denied with his head.

She stopped in the middle of the street, all her excitement leaving her as it came.

"I-I…" Timid again. Man, she is going to end with me… I thought, as my heart dropped to my feet at seeing her so seemingly defenceless.

"You don't need to tell this idiots" She looked at me in the eyes. "Everyone has his secrets. You can tell us when you are ready." Just smile already!

"Okay" She accepted, walking again at my side- I would have sworn she got a bit closer than before- but that spark I saw earlier, gone.

"So, what about the fight?" For once, I thanked Natsu for his obliviousness.

"Yeah!" Shouted a few

"Yes!" Exclaimed others

"I want to see you fight"

"I want to see her fight. I just hope her dress…"

"Bickslow, you are getting too close to fire again"

"What about in the meadow?"

"It would be perfect!"

"I'll go tell others in the guild"

"Run fast! You don't want to miss this"

"Just imagine her dress torn to…"

"BICKSLOW"

"Yeah, yeah, I know"

"Oh, this is going to be too good…"

"LAXUS FIGHT ME!"

"My Mavis… how did we end up with such a noisy guild?"

As the voices kept arguing, I put my Sound Pods in my ears and pressed play.

Fighting this Girl? Well, she's strong, if her magical pressure is any sign, but…I sighed and admitted the truth. I don't want to hurt her.


A/N: So, this is it! Chapter 7! Thank you so much to all the people following and reviewing, it makes me so happy!

More people keep adding up, when will this two have a moment alone! Also, the great revealing! They are mated! Poor Laxus doesn't know what is going to come... And his two fellow Slayers are pure evil! They are planning on enjoying so much his weakness...

Laxus: Well, you could do something about it, you know?

Me: Naah, this will be so much fun! ;)

I was planning on doing the fight scene as well, but It's proven to be quite a challenge! Three days and I haven't finished it yet -.-' So, I'll post this as a whole chapter, and make the next one longer! Once again, please tell me what you think?
