Hiya fellow shippers! I am now a tenth down with my 100 Theme Challenge~! Only 90 more to go... *faint*
Anywho, this piece is in between Gajeel's first arrival at Fairy Tail and Teroujima... Just some reflection on a blooming affection in one particular dragonslayer... XD
Noise
Fairy Tail was more than just a wizard guild; it was a rowdy one… And with the territory of disorderliness came the noise…
The building's high ceilings echoed relentlessly the loudly sung drinking tunes, arguments, useless chatter, and occasional death threat.
The normal level of clamor was already annoying to any human. For a dragonslayer however, with uncannily acute senses, the noise was DEAFENING….
The loudness rang Gajeel's eardrums day in and day out, setting his reflexes on edge, his jaw painfully locked. Normally a solitary man, the racket did nothing for his emotional state and discomfort in public. Worst, Natsu, Fairy Tail's resident fire dragonslayer, seemed to be completely unaffected by the constant din, but might had more to do with the fact that it was him who was caused most of the noise in the first place…
So why did the dragonslayer suffer through each free day at the guild instead of opting for time at his home?
Because, sometimes, over the persistent clamor, a twinkling laugh from a blue-haired bookworm would be carried over the other voices across the hall to his lonely seat at the bar. It was at those moments that the ghost of a smile would pass over his face, slightly warming his cold, iron heart.
Reviews make me a happy writer, so don't be shy~! :3
See ya!
