WARNING! This chapter contains some stuff I haven't written before, not in this story anyways. I want to warn you all in case someone isn't comfortable with it. There is going to be some ass play, and by that I mean eating out. If you aren't comfortable with a guy eating out another guys ass, then skip that part. I expect most if not all of you are fine with this, I mean this story has a fair amount of graphic yaoi. Still, better safe than sorry.


The two sat in the living room once again, picking up where they left off. It was dark outside now, Gajeel had turned on a lacrima lamp to give them better lighting. The atmosphere in the room should be comfortable, yet Laxus couldn't stop thinking about what happened. Gajeel seemed fine now, and he supposed that was good, but he couldn't forgive himself. He truly didn't deserve someone like Gajeel. Regardless, they were mates now. He had no other choice but to make up for his mistakes, and he was perfectly okay with that. He'd spend the rest of his life treating Gajeel right, no matter what. Still, he wished there was something he could do right now, to at least begin to make up for it. But for the moment, he had to focus on the books in front of him. They needed to learn everything about their situation.

"So um…you might want to read this. It explains…a lot." Gajeel said, looking a little flustered for some reason. Laxus took the book from him and started reading, eyes widening slightly as it all began to click.

"While uncommon, the submissive dragon may decide to challenge its mate for dominance. In this act of rebellion, the two mates may fight to the death, however it is more likely that the dominant will win before that happens. Afterwards, the submissive will go through a small bout of depression as it realizes what it has done, and beg the dominant for forgiveness. This can be highly stressful for both mates, more so for the submissive, as these emotions are strong and uncontrollable. The dominant dragon will then comfort its mate, reassuring that all is well, and begin the cleansing." Laxus read, raising an eyebrow at the last part.

"Keep reading. It gets better." Gajeel said, looking displeased at the fact that these instincts could control him like that. Depression wasn't something he was used to.

"The cleansing is a very intimate act between mates that involves licking the wounds until they vanish completely. The mates' saliva contains unique healing properties, however they can only be activated when used on each other." Laxus finished, giving Gajeel a look of pure disbelief. "So if I lick one of your wounds, it goes away?"

"That's what it sounds like. Everything else has been true, so I think it's safe to say this is too. Which is great, because if anyone sees us like this, especially Lily, we're screwed. I say we do it now before he gets home." Gajeel said, licking the scratch marks on Laxus' neck and watching in amazement as the skin slowly began to heal. Laxus swallowed nervously, trying to ignore how good it felt when Gajeel licked him. Now was the worst time to be aroused, since he didn't deserve any sort of pleasure from Gajeel.

"A-Ah, how about I just heal your wounds? Mine aren't that bad, really." Laxus said, biting back a groan as Gajeel continued lapping at his neck.

"What's wrong, Sparky? Can't handle a little licking?" Gajeel asked with a smirk, sucking on Laxus' now unblemished skin. The blonde groaned this time, trying to push Gajeel away. "Don't be like that. I already told you it was both of our faults, and I already forgave you. Now quit being stubborn and give your mate what he wants."

Laxus thought about it for a moment, realizing this was a good way to start making up for earlier. "If you really want it…but we sure as hell aren't doing it here. Your cat could walk through that door any minute."

"Let's go to my room then." Gajeel said, grinning as he pulled Laxus off the couch and into his bedroom. He made sure to close and lock the door, knowing Lily wouldn't be home for at least a half hour. He made quick work of his clothes, watching as Laxus did the same. They both kneeled in front of each other on his bed and began looking at all of the places that needed licking.

"I'll do you first." Gajeel said, going straight for the jagged laceration on Laxus' stomach. The blonde sighed at the feeling of Gajeel's warm tongue licking him, surprised that it only hurt for a second. The process itself didn't take long and actually felt amazing. Laxus tried his best to stay calm, but the more wounds Gajeel found, the more aroused he got, and by the time he was done Laxus was fully erect. "Che, you're so easy." Gajeel said, eyes widening as Laxus leaned in close and licked his cheek, watching as the cut slowly disappeared.

"We'll see how you do then." Laxus said, licking at a deeper cut on Gajeel's chest. He moved down to a burn mark on his stomach, and another on his arm. The blonde then moved to his back, frowning at a painful looking wound. He licked at it, making sure to be gentle, and watched as the skin returned to normal. He happened to glance down and frowned, noticing a long cut on a rather unexpected spot.

"Um…so, you have a scratch on your ass, and I'm not quite sure what to do about it. It looks pretty bad, though. How the hell have you been sitting on that?" Laxus asked, noticing how Gajeel blushed ever so slightly.

"I wondered what that was. How the hell did you manage to injure me there, of all places?" Gajeel asked, gingerly touching the area and wincing. "Ouch."

"Do you want me to…?" Laxus asked, not quite sure how to react. He didn't mind, not really anyways. He happened to love Gajeel's ass and would gladly heal the cut, but only if Gajeel wanted him to. Even if he didn't, Laxus probably still would. It really did look painful, and it was his job as the dominant to take care of his mate.

"Uh, I mean you don't have to. I'm sure I'll live." Gajeel replied, yelping as he was suddenly pushed onto his stomach. "I'm serious Laxus, it's not necessary." He said, feeling somewhat nervous. This was the last thing he expected, and really, he wasn't sure how he felt about it. The idea of someone being up-close and personal with his ass made him a little uncomfortable. Sure, he had showered and everything, but still!

"Hush, it's not a big deal." Laxus said, wondering how to go about this. "Don't freak out though, okay? It's going to feel weird." He warned, and proceeded to move Gajeel's cheeks (which in his mind were positively adorable) apart. He then leaned in and licked a path up the entirety of the wound, holding Gajeel's hips down as the man jolted.

"A-Ah!" Gajeel gasped, gulping as his heart began pounding. "That feels so…so weird!"

"Told you. Just stay still and let me do this, it won't take long." Laxus said, licking more firmly as the wound began to close. How he managed to land such a hit on Gajeel's ass was truly a mystery, and the fact that it went into the crack made it even odder. Still, he wasn't complaining. Gajeel had a great ass, and he actually enjoyed doing this, as weird as it might sound.

"Nngh…" Gajeel groaned, beginning to pant as his body grew hotter. Was he actually getting turned on by this? Was it bad that he wanted more?

"Gajeel?" Laxus asked, stopping to make sure his mate was okay. Gajeel had his face hidden, but from his position, Laxus could smell his arousal. "Are you..?"

"Shut up! This isn't normal, I don't know why it feels so good, but fuck it really does. J-Just hurry up and finish already." Gajeel said, giving Laxus an embarrassed look. The sight of his mate blushing so much and looking so aroused nearly drove Laxus insane. If Gajeel wanted more, he would give him more.

"Are you sure? Because now that I look at it, it might go deeper than I thought." Laxus said, smirking as Gajeel gave him the most flustered look he had ever seen. He spread Gajeel's cheeks apart even more and took a small second to marvel at Gajeel's entrance, wondering how his cock could fit into such a tight little hole, and then proceeded to lick a long path up the entirety of his mates crack.

"AH! D-Don't do that!" Gajeel yelped, trying in vain to crawl away from Laxus and his damned talented tongue. It was both mind-numbingly erotic yet humiliating at the same time. Gajeel wanted more though, so much more.

"Don't do what?" Laxus asked, feigning innocence as he gently prodded at Gajeel's entrance with his tongue. Gajeel moaned, burying his face as Laxus began spearing him with his hot tongue, licking his inside walls and kneading his ass with his hands.

"Nngh…ahh…" Gajeel couldn't even try to hold back the embarrassing noises that tore past his mouth, the sensations were too strong and so new. He knew he was sensitive down there, that was common sense after getting fucked, but he never knew it could feel like this.

"You really like this, don't you? I should eat you out more often." Laxus said, diving back in and snaking an arm under Gajeel's stomach. He lifted the smaller man's rear end into the air, his tongue reaching even deeper into Gajeel. He began teasing the slayer's cock, rubbing precum around the head and stroking slowly. "So wet already."

"D-Don't talk like that, bastard. At this rate I won't even last five minutes." Gajeel said, supporting himself on his elbows and sticking his ass in the air more despite his words. He felt Laxus smirk against him, and then cried out as his vision went white. Whatever Laxus had done felt better than anything he had ever experienced. "What..hah…was that?" He asked, breathless by how intense it had felt.

"I know you don't like my lightning, but I want to show you it can make you feel good, too. I can channel it through my tongue. It won't hurt or damage anything, either, since I'm putting hardly any power into it." Laxus said, hoping Gajeel wouldn't get mad.

"Fuck, keep doing it, feels so good." Gajeel said, hardly being able to form a sentence. Laxus grinned and did as he was told, getting his tongue as deep as he could and using his magic. At the same time, his hand continued stroking Gajeel's dripping cock, using the same amount of magic through his hand. With the piercings in Gajeel's dick, he knew it would feel ten times better. The sound Gajeel made almost had Laxus cumming right then and there. "AH, fuck, too good! Ahn, I'm gonna fucking fall apart if you keep doing that!" Gajeel cried, biting his sheets in an attempt to control himself.

Laxus decided he really wanted to see that, hand flying over Gajeel's cock now. He used his free hand to reach up and rub Gajeel's nipples, burying his face in Gajeel's ass. The iron slayer nearly screamed as the flood of sensations overwhelmed him. "Laxus, fuck, please, it's too good. Too much! I'm gonna cum! Please, fucking please, make me cum already!" Gajeel moaned, and Laxus had to quickly grip his own throbbing length as he nearly came as well. Hearing Gajeel moan and beg was simply too much. He continued using his magic and eating out his mate, jerking Gajeel off with vigor until suddenly Gajeel's entire body grew tense. He came hard, moaning Laxus' name and spilling his cum over Laxus' hand and onto his sheets. Laxus let him collapse, mind reeling from how intense that had been. His cock hadn't gotten any attention and yet he was so close. Gajeel looked at him, panting heavily and still blushing, and then looked at his hand which still had a firm grip on his dripping cock.

"You…almost came…from that? Hah…impressive." Gajeel said, crawling over to Laxus and, without warning, taking his now purple head into his mouth. Laxus gasped, gripping Gajeel's thick hair as a small amount of cum spurted out.

"Gajeel, fuck, I'm too close." Laxus said, groaning as Gajeel moved his hand away and continued sucking. It only took a few seconds for Laxus to cum, nearly blacking out from how amazing it felt. Gajeel swallowed every drop, giving Laxus' cockhead a few gentle licks before collapsing onto his back. Laxus followed, pulling Gajeel into his arms.

"That was…fuck." Gajeel said, not being able to describe how good that had been. "Can't believe you got that close without even touching yourself."

"Well, that's your fault. Hearing you make all those noises was too fucking hot. I've never heard you like that." Laxus said, laughing when Gajeel blushed and grumbled petulantly.

"Shut up. It felt way too fucking good, I'm pretty sure I blacked out at the end." Gajeel said, holding Laxus tighter as he remembered the intense sensations that had racked his body. "You have to let me do that to you."

"Heh, maybe someday. I'm glad you liked it though. Are you still scared of my magic?"

"After that? Yeah…but not as much. That was just….fucking perfect. I can't even wrap my mind around it." Gajeel replied, trying to stay awake and failing.

"Good to know I blew your mind. But we should get dressed before your cat gets home." Laxus said, reluctantly standing and putting his clothes back on. Gajeel groaned and rolled over, too exhausted to get up. Laxus laughed and dressed the man himself, carrying him back out into the living room. A few minutes after they sat down, the front door opened and Lily walked in, taking in the sight of Gajeel sleeping on Laxus' shoulder. The blonde stared at him for a moment, wondering how he would react, and was surprised when Lily merely smiled and walked into the bedroom. Good thing I cleaned up in there, Laxus thought. The sheets are in the laundry basket. Hopefully the room doesn't reek of sex, but I don't think he has that good of a nose anyways. Now, what to do with this one?

He looked down at Gajeel who was sound asleep, wondering if he should stay the night or not. After today's events, he really didn't want to leave Gajeel, and he was certain the slayer felt the same way. In the end, he decided to keep reading until eventually he too succumbed to sleep. When Lily came out hours later to check on them, he couldn't help but smile at the two sleeping dragon slayers.

"As long as Gajeel's happy." He said, going back into the bedroom and falling asleep as well. He still didn't trust Laxus, not completely anyways, but he supposed eventually he would. As long as Gajeel remained happy, he had no problems.


I'm just gonna end this one here ^_^ the next chapter is going to be….interesting. Not necessarily bad, not yet anyways. I'll give you all a hint: there's going to be another mission, and it's going to be a rough one. In the meantime, feel free to review! This fic has gotten almost 100 reviews, which is just mind blowing, because the pairing is not popular at all! I never expected it to be received so well. Regardless, thank you for the support thus far, as it's been quite a journey. I started writing this around a year ago, I think, and for a while I didn't think I'd ever finish it. Yet here it is, nearing the end! I hope by the time it's over, someone will be inspired enough to write their own fic for this pairing, as it really does need more attention. Sparks Are Gonna Fly by Wild Rhov is one I highly recommend, as well as Blood in the Water by StevMarie. Check them out, if you haven't already!
