Gajeel was going to kill someone. That's it. Simple. He will rip their head off their body and shove it up their ass when he finds out who did this. No mercy. He had started out his day normally enough, woke up, got dressed, ate some iron, and went to go wake Lily. That's when his morning turned to shit.
"Uh, Gajeel?" Lily had asked when Gajeel returned to their shared room. Lily was having a lovely dream about swords when he had a very frightening awakening.
When Gajeel had asked what was wrong, Lily gestured towards the bathroom, telling him to check in the mirror. Somewhere, on the edge of town, some poor family was scared out of their wits when an inhumane roar ripped through the forest, shaking the earth as it reverberated through the trees.
-oO0Oo-
Concealed by a ratty old cloak, Gajeel thundered through Magnolia, making his way towards the guild where he knew the perpetrator was waiting for him. Naturally, anyone who happened to be outside, walked within a 100ft radius of the fuming man.
When he approached the tall building, Gajeel wasted no time in busting the doors down. "WHO THE HELL DID IT!?" He bellowed. The once bustling guild hall fell eerily quiet at his vague demand. He remained in the doorway, glaring at the guild, daring the perp to speak up.
"Not to sound like an idiot," Lucy piped up, shattering the heavy silence, "but, who did what exactly?"
In replace of a response, Gajeel snarled and ripped off the old cloak that was once draped over him. The guild held their breath for half a beat, taking in the sight before them, before someone burst out laughing. Two someones. And it was clear to see why.
Gajeel looked- For lack of a better word- strange. Instead of his long, raven mane, there, on his head was a close cropped, almost undercut, poorly done hairdo. The longest part barely touched the tips of his ears, and the shortest was almost non-existent. To be honest, it might have looked fine on him, you know, mix things up a bit. But no. What made things worse is his hair was no longer the deep obsidian it once was. Oh no. Gajeel was now a blonde. The soft, bright, golden color of his hair was a startling contrast to his sun-kissed skin and sharp features.
The guild remained silent- far too shocked to have a reaction- as Gajeel's head snapped in the direction of the two cackling voices residing in the back of the guild.
"BAHAHAHAHAHA! OH MY MAVIS! HAHAHA!" Jet belted out, falling all over Droy who was laughing just as hard as he was.
"THAT TURNED OUT BETTER THAN I EXPECTED! HAHAHAHA!" Droy wiped a stray tear from his eye. The two men were now on the floor, clutching their stomachs from laughing too hard. Suddenly, a shadow appeared over the two mages.
HAHAHAHAHAhah... Haha... Ha... Ha..? U-umm Droy? D-Droy?" Jet instantly sobered as he noticed the raging Dragon Slayer looming over him. He reached over and whacked Droy across the shoulder.
"Ow! What did I- oh Mavis..." Droy blanched as he realized the severity of his actions.
"So," Gajeel growled, his hands clenched tightly in fists, so tight that he could feel his fingernails digging into his skin. "It was you two who did this?"
"Um... Would you believe me if I said no?" Jet tried, backing up a bit. Granted, it was kind of hard to take the man seriously with the odd haircut, but seeing as Gajeel's skin was no longer skin, but iron scales, Jet figured that now was probably the wrong time to laugh.
"Yer gonna pay," Gajeel snarled. Then, faster than Jet and Droy's eyes could comprehend, the iron dragon launched himself at the two mages. He grabbed them by the collars of their shirts and dragged them out of the still silent guild.
About a minute after the doors slammed shut, Mira spoke up, "Oh my. I wonder what's going to happen to those two?"
"Probably something awful!" Lucy fretted. "They'll probably end up in the infirmary by the time he's done with them!"
"Given Gajeel's almost sadistic actions," Erza interjected, "I wouldn't find it very surprising if he punished them in a more permanent way,"
The whole guild sweat dropped at the increasingly horrible images that flashed through their minds.
Levy snorted and flipped a page in the book she was currently reading, "Please. He won't hurt them. Most likely he'll make them go skinny dipping in the river or something like that. They'll be fine,"
"You're oddly confident about that, Levy," Gray smirked.
Not looking up from her novel, Levy simply answered, "Of course I am. He knows full well that if he hurts them he'll have Lily and Erza to deal with,"
In the end, Levy was right. The very next day, Jet and Droy entered the guild in one piece, completely unharmed. That's not to say Gajeel didn't get his revenge on them, because he most definitely did. If fact, to say that the two returned in one piece was kind of a lie. The only thing they were missing was their hair.
-oO0Oo-
AN: Lol poor Gajeel. Levy probably gave Jet and Droy one hell of a talking to even after Gajeel shaved them. I wanna apologize for it being so short, I was kind of stumped and I didn't really know what to do. This just sort of happened. Anyway I hope you enjoyed!
Later Taters!
