It was just a mission. That was how it started. It wasn't pain, it wasn't agony, it wasn't Laxus in a rage of lightning and Gajeel helpless in his wake. Feelings weren't supposed to be hurt, blood wasn't supposed to be spilled; now the world is spinning out of control and they're plummeting to the ground unable to stop it. What can be said? The world Is ugly.

Lucy runs away from the guild to begin her training to get stronger, when she runs into an old childhood friend, Acnologia. But… Why is he a Dragon? Why is SHE a Dragon? And how does her mother fit into everything?

Laxus is out traveling after his banishment from the guild when the Dragon's Mating Season comes around. Out in the middle of nowhere, one of the other Slayers had also tried to escape the heat. When they happen upon each other lusting in the moonlight, there's little they can do to stop the oncoming storm. Rated M for mature content. Laxus x Gajeel, no flaming! Reviews encouraged!
