Summary: It just occurred to me that Doranbolt doesn't act as weird as he was as Mest. This is my explanation for that….
Pairings: Doranbolt/Wendy friendship.
YouTube Prompt: Fairy Tail tribute to 'Livin' on a Prayer' by Bon Jovi.
"There's something that's been bothering me, Doranbolt-san," Wendy spoke up suddenly. "If you don't mind me asking!" she added hurriedly, her cheeks bright pink.
It was one of Doranbolt's monthly visits as he gave them all a quick rundown of exactly how much trouble Fairy Tail was in this month with the Magic Council (for some reason Natsu was always the most frequent person on the list of destruction and crimes) and to give Kinana a letter from someone in prison which he really didn't look happy about (whether it was because he had been reduced to messenger or it's because it was from a criminal, Wendy wasn't sure). Wendy had been meaning to ask this question for months but she had never had the courage to…..until now.
"Of course not," Doranbolt blinked, "you can ask me anything."
"Well….I couldn't help but notice…." Wendy took a deep breath and blurted out what had been bothering her very quickly, "that you no longer act really weird with all the touching and biting weird things to know what it feels like anymore. You're actually a lot calmer now, so I was wondering what had happened/"
She took a deep breath at that and tried desperately to catch it back as she hoped frantically that she hadn't insulted him.
Doranbolt laughed sheepishly. "Oh that," he scratched the back of his neck nervously, "yeah…..I was acting."
"Acting?"
"Yes, I felt I needed to be rather weird," Doranbolt explained, "I made up a tick like that so I can fit into Fairy Tail."
At that the whole guild sweat-dropped and a slightly gloomy aura fell over them. "What kind of fucking weirdoes do you think we are?" Gajeel asked.
"Erm…."
Unwilling to answer (and get beaten up for it) Doranbolt instantly transported himself out of the door and ran for it.
