"Hurry up, nobody's back here." Laxus whispered as they crept along the back hallways of the Guild. By some sort of miracle, the back of the Guild was empty, for now anyways. They needed to be quick. Gajeel quickly caught up to Laxus as they turned a corner, a door finally coming into sight. Laxus opened it and yanked Gajeel inside before closing it as quietly as possible.
"A storage closet, eh? You sure know how to sweep a guy off his feet. At least it's not overly disgusting." Gajeel said, grimacing at the layer of dust.
"Not my fault you smell so good. I wonder if that's part of this mate thing too." Laxus said, looking around the dull room and taking steps closer to Gajeel.
"I was going to talk to the Shrimp about it, actually. Guess she's been reading about it." Gajeel replied, eyes fluttering shut as Laxus kissed him. He began working on the taller man's belt, groaning as Laxus nipped his lip and then swiped his tongue across the small cut. "Damn, you really are horny."
"Told you. And isn't it a little weird to talk to her about that stuff? It's none of her business." Laxus said, voice husky with desire. Gajeel had to smirk at that. If he didn't know any better, he'd say Laxus was jealous.
"I wasn't going to ask her anything bad, that would be awkward. I want to borrow the books she's been reading too."
"You, reading? Are you sick?"
"Shut up and fuck me already. I've never talked so much during foreplay." Gajeel said, grinning when Laxus eagerly pulled both of their pants down and lifted Gajeel up, the iron slayer's legs wrapping around his waist.
"You need me to prep you? I don't see any lube around here though…" Laxus asked. He supposed he could just use saliva, but that didn't necessarily do the job well enough.
"Nah, just go slow, I'll be fine. It hasn't been that long since we last did this anyways." Gajeel replied, more concerned with getting release than some stupid lube.
"It's still going to hurt, idiot, but if you insist." Laxus shrugged, knowing Gajeel would be fine if he went slowly enough. He still smeared his precum around his length, though it wouldn't do much. Then he slowly entered Gajeel's tight heat, going as slow as he possibly could. He licked and sucked on Gajeel's neck, snaking a hand between them to tease Gajeel's own weeping member as a distraction. Gajeel bit his lip as he was assaulted with both pain and pleasure, forehead resting on Laxus' shoulder. Once Laxus was fully sheathed, he gave Gajeel a moment to adjust. "You okay?"
"I'll be just fine, Sparky, I ain't no princess. Just move already." Gajeel grumbled, wincing as Laxus did what he was told. It didn't hurt, not really anyways. As he adjusted, it began feeling good, especially with Laxus giving his cock some much needed attention. He should feel paranoid, they could be caught after all, and yet he felt more turned on than usual. Did he get off from the idea of being seen? Apparently, considering he was already nearing the end. "O-Oi, slow down."
"Close already? You must really like this, me fucking you against the wall in a storage closet. You kinky bastard." Laxus said, smirking at the look he received. Gajeel was blushing, though, which proved his point. Laxus enjoyed it as well, and Gajeel was simply too irresistible to not ravage, regardless of where they were. But if someone like Natsu or Wendy happened to walk by, they would smell them. Wendy may not be able to tell what sex smells like, but it would most likely weird her out. And Natsu would know immediately. Plus, anyone from the Guild could come in here, if they needed something. Mirajane, most likely. That would really suck. We need to make this quick.
Laxus continued slamming into Gajeel, biting down on the smaller man's neck as he felt his own release approaching. Gajeel was trying to keep quiet, but Laxus wasn't exactly making it easy. A moan managed to slip out, causing Laxus to cover Gajeel's mouth with his hand. "As much as I enjoy hearing you, I'd rather not get caught." He said, watching Gajeel's face as he continued fucking him. He became entranced with those red eyes, pupils blown wide with lust. His cheeks had a rosy tint, a rare yet delectable sight to see. In this position, Gajeel looked more like a true submissive, and it did wonders for his ego. The dominant side of him was going crazy, telling Laxus to mark his mate again. He sunk his teeth into Gajeel's shoulder, cock twitching at the sound his mate made. Gajeel's blood tasted sweet, something Laxus could get used to. Part of him wanted more, wanted to bite harder. But he didn't want to hurt Gajeel. He wasn't supposed to.
Gajeel gasped as his release hit, splattering over his and Laxus' shirts. The feeling of being bitten, being marked, didn't hurt at all. Instead, it felt good enough to send him over the edge. A few thrusts later Laxus followed him, pulling out and letting Gajeel down after. The iron slayer's legs felt like jelly, causing him to lean on Laxus for support. Eventually they caught their breath and pulled their pants up, wincing at the mess.
"How am I supposed to hide this?" Laxus asked with a grimace, looking around for something to clean it off. Since they were in a storage closet, there happened to be some old rags. He wiped off what he could and handed it to Gajeel, frowning at the wet spot on his shirt. "This isn't going to work."
"Tell me about it." Gajeel said, his own shirt stained as well. They both stared at each other for a minute, contemplating what to do next. "We can't go out there like this. Even if our clothes were clean, we'd still reek of sex, and Natsu has a big mouth."
"Guess we didn't think this through." Laxus said, sitting on an overturned bucket while trying to think of a plan.
"You mean you didn't think this through." Gajeel corrected, scowling as he was pulled onto Laxus' lap. "Horny bastard."
"I didn't hear you complaining, metal head. In fact, you sounded pretty happy about it a few minutes ago." Laxus said with a smirk, pulling Gajeel closer who grumbled curses. Laxus didn't have to look to know his mate was blushing. To think, there was a time when he was certain Gajeel wasn't capable of blushing, and now he did it at least once a day.
"Shut up." Was Gajeel's response, causing Laxus to laugh at how lame it was. Gajeel chuckled too, knowing he couldn't deny the fact that it had felt amazing. "I'm all for sex in random places, but next time it shouldn't be the Guild. Now we're stuck in here until our shirts dry."
"Cum dries pretty fast. Besides, it's not so bad. At least it's quiet. And why the hell do you like it?" Laxus asked, having not expected that from Gajeel.
"I don't know, to be honest. I've never done it before, so I wasn't really expecting it. But there's something about the risk of being caught…it turns me on, I guess. Hopefully we never get caught, though." He replied, feeling sleepy all of a sudden. Laxus had a comfortable chest.
"You're so sure there's going to be a next time."
"Well, all I have to do is smell good and you lose control of your dick. So yeah, I'm pretty damn sure there's going to be a next time." Gajeel replied, eyes slipping shut as Laxus' heartbeat put him to sleep.
"Che, you're probably right. Oi, are you falling asleep on me? This isn't the place for a nap, idiot." Laxus said, shaking Gajeel a little to wake him up. The man groaned, trying to bat away Laxus' hands.
"It's not the place for sex either but look at how well that went."
"Smartass."
Gajeel chuckled but stood anyways, looking at his now dry shirt. "Is it noticeable?" He asked, looking down and seeing nothing. Laxus stood as well, looking between their shirts before nodding.
"I can't see it, but it definitely smells. Maybe we should avoid Natsu." Laxus replied, putting his ear to the door and listening for any noise. "It sounds quiet out there. We should probably go." Gajeel nodded, following as Laxus quickly opened the door. They both took two steps into the hallway when things took a turn for the worst. As soon as Gajeel shut the door, Natsu came walking around the corner, Lucy in tow. All four stopped at seeing each other, frozen for a brief second, before Natsu figured it out.
"Aw, you guys used the closet? Gross! Sorry Luce, we have to go somewhere else." Natsu said, quickly turning back around to leave. Lucy's eyes widened dramatically when she saw Laxus and Gajeel standing there, managing to put two and two together.
"E-EHHH?! L-Laxus and G-Gajeel are….but how?!" She cried as Natsu dragged her away, leaving the two men baffled at how quickly things had gone wrong. They looked at each other and went in the opposite direction of Natsu, faces slightly pale. They walked into the main room where everyone was, not even caring if they looked suspicious at this point. Gajeel spotted Levy, figuring he should tell her now, yet before he could see if Laxus wanted to come Makarov was shouting at them to go into his office.
"Well, we had this coming." Gajeel muttered, irritated at the amount of eyes that were now on them. People looked surprised to see them even standing next to each other, it seemed. Gajeel figured that was normal.
"Let's just get this over with." Laxus said, grabbing Gajeel's hand and walking upstairs to the old man's office. There was a collective gasp, and even Gajeel was taken off-guard, having not expected him to basically announce to everyone that they were together. He wordlessly followed Laxus, face red all the way until Makarov's door closed. The two sat down, waiting for the Master to say something.
"I'm sure you know why you're both here, and you've got a lot of explaining to do. Especially you, Laxus. Now, I'm well aware that you two are some sort of item, but from what I've heard it hasn't been going well. This was a few days ago, however. Am I to believe that something has changed?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at both of them. Gajeel looked at Laxus, wondering who was supposed to answer that. He wasn't sure what to say.
"I take it Natsu told you?" Laxus asked in return, making a note to shock the kid when he next saw him.
"Answer the question, Laxus. Where have you two been these past few days?"
"He took me to a concert." Gajeel answered, deciding Makarov would believe him over Laxus. "And we're fine now. Yeah, things were bad at first, but not anymore. He fixed it."
"What exactly did he fix, Gajeel? The last I heard, he was ignoring you. Quite the dangerous thing to do, in your case." Makarov replied, giving Laxus a disapproving look. Laxus looked away guiltily, remembering how bad that had been.
"We were…confused. I didn't like the situation I was in, so I avoided him."
"And I thought that meant he wanted nothing to do with me, so I acted like I didn't care. We didn't know about the rules, at the time." Laxus said, a fresh wave of guilt washing over him when he remembered how bad Gajeel had gotten. "If I had known…I wouldn't have ignored him."
"Well, there seems to be a lot you don't know. I have some books that I've collected over time, and I think you should both take a look at them. I believe Levy has been researching it as well. Go talk to her and educate yourselves, and if I hear you two aren't doing well again, I won't go easy on you. You especially, Laxus. Be a correct dominant, don't let Gajeel suffer." Makarov said, pulling a small pile of books from under his desk and giving them to Laxus.
"Thanks, Gramps." Laxus muttered, quickly grabbing Gajeel and the books and leaving the office as quickly as possible. Makarov watched them go, sighing at how stupid his Grandson could be.
Gajeel and Laxus walked over to where Levy sat, Pantherlily next to her. Gajeel briefly wondered where Jet and Droy were, thankful that they weren't around. Levy smiled at seeing them, looking a little surprised, if anything. Pantherlily outright glared at Laxus, though the blonde didn't react. He knew he deserved the cat's fury. "Yo, Shrimp, I need to ask you something." Gajeel said, sitting opposite to Levy and his irate cat. Laxus sat as well, avoiding eye contact with Pantherlily for obvious reasons. The feline looked ready to murder him.
"Um, sure, what's up?" Levy asked, although she already knew the answer.
"You've been researching dragon instincts and shit, right? Do you mind if we borrow your books?" He asked, staring at the few she had open on the table. They were thick books, and she had plenty of them. Gajeel was hating this already.
"Oh, sure! It's actually very interesting, I never knew dragons were so particular. Just don't ruin them, okay? They belong to the library." She replied, glad to see the two taking an interest in their situation. Lily had already told her everything, and she was glad to hear that they were doing better. However, she was still a little angry at Laxus, since he did still technically rape Gajeel. But as long as her friend was happy, she supposed everything would be okay.
"Yeah yeah, sure Shrimp." Gajeel said, gathering up the books and handing some to Laxus. "Damn, why do you have so many?"
"I wanted to make sure I had everything, since there really is a lot to learn. I planned on getting just a few for you, but then I started reading one and well…it got out of hand. I'm sure this will answer any questions you have, though." She replied, looking sheepish at admitting the truth. She had been curious, after hearing the Master's explanation. But after delving into research, she couldn't stop. She was known for being a bookworm, after all.
"Well thanks, I guess. This is going to take forever to read." Laxus said, gathering a stack in his arms and carefully standing.
"We'll go to my place." Gajeel said, shooting Lily a look that clearly said 'no arguments.' The cat looked unhappy but didn't say anything. Laxus agreed, feeling somewhat nervous about that. Still, Lily was Gajeel's friend, and Laxus supposed he would have to get used to him. "Well, see you later then, Shrimp."
"Okay, bye guys! Have fun!" She said, giggling as the two grumbled unhappily. The mere sight of them walking away with stacks of books was funny. She looked at Lily who still looked angry, though he had every reason to.
"They'll be fine, you know. I can see it. Laxus has changed a lot, he's never acted like that around anybody. If Gajeel trusts him, then so should we." She said, patting him on the head. He seemed to relax a little, though still looked a little miffed.
"You're right, I just worry. I'd like to go after them, but I suppose I should give them some time alone for now. But if Laxus does anything, he will regret it." He replied, making a fist with one fuzzy paw. Levy had to smile at how adorable and menacing that was.
"I believe you."
Well, look who updated faster than ever. Don't expect this all the time, because I honestly don't know where this came from. I think I'm becoming more motivated since this is almost over. I give it four more chapters tops. Things are nice and peaceful now, but you know I can't just keep it like that. Every good story needs loads of angst!
