Iron in the Stars
AN: Story is my idea, but I do not own anything Fairy Tail.
Chapter 7: Dress
"Tell me everything!" Levy and Cana caught up to me as I was walking home. "I'm not sure what you're referring to?" They both gave me a bitter look as in to not toy with them. "There isn't anything to tell, plus I'm tired. I just want to go home and take a bath. Can we meet up tomorrow for breakfast or something? I want to know about your mission Levy." They looked disappointed, but agreed anyway. I just wanted to relax tonight. I still had a chapter to finish and I knew if I showed up the next day with one Levy wouldn't be upset. I just needed to buy Cana alcohol to keep her happy.
After my relaxing bath and I finished not one, but two chapters on my story I went to bed. It was already well past midnight before crawling in my bed though. It felt like I blinked! There was a pounding on me door and I had to groan at the intrusion. I just wanted to stay in bed and tell the person at the door to go away. I looked at the clock on the bedside table to see it was five in the morning. What the hell! Who would be at my door this early in the morning? I dragged my feet to the front door not caring that I was just wearing a t-shirt and pulled the door open to reveal a smirking dragon slayer. "What the hell Gajeel! What do you want so early!"
"It's time to train." He looked me up and down for a second before his smirk grew larger. "Nice look, but you may need more clothes. That is unless you'd like me to show you more from our conversation yesterday." I was going to throw something at him. That stupid smirk on his face should be slapped off! It's too damn early for this shit. "I'm going back to bed. You're crazy." I went to slam the door in his face and crawl back in my bed, but he stopped the door and closed it behind him. He even followed me to my bed. "What the hell Gajeel? Go away!"
"No can do Bunny. I promised Laxus that I would continue your training. Him and Cana got together last night and decided to go on a job today. Which reminds me, the girls can't do breakfast. They said that they were sorry. Shrimp still wants to see you soon. Oh yeah, apparently we are doing something with Cana and Laxus later when they get back too. I don't know how I got sucked into that shit, but whatever."
"We can do something later Gajeel, I just want to sleep now." My plea didn't last too long because I felt him lift me off my bed, blanket and all, and drop me on my couch. "You know, as comfortable as my bed is, I will sleep here if I have to." He growled over at me. "Bunny! You're being difficult! Get you're lazy ass up. Lets go for a run." Damnit, he's not going to let it go. I got up and walked over to my closet. "Why do you have so much damn clothes?" He stared at me dumbfounded, which made me laugh. "I'm a girl, idiot! I have clothes for every occasion."
"Whatever Bunny Girl, just change so we can leave." It wasn't five minutes later he was pushing me out the door. I didn't want to run, I would have much preferred to stay in my bed! Oh well, our running went on for a good hour around Magnolia and through the forest. There was a nice path I would have never known about if it weren't for Gajeel and this run. After making our way off the path he stopped in front of a large hill. As I stared at it I was praying that he wasn't going to make me run up it. I would surely die if he made me. I was already pretty tired from the run and to run up that mountain basically I would surely just end up being done for the day and it wasn't even eight in the morning yet.
I stopped in front of him and went to put my hands on my knees to steady my breathing, but I wasn't allowed a solid minute to do so. He went to attack me. I jumped back barely avoiding his steel from crashing into my face. "What the fuck!" He swung at me again ignoring my protests. "Always be prepared Bunny! You never know when danger will be around. Now fight back!" He was really starting to piss me off. He wants me to fight back? Fine.
I put all of my strength into my legs and pushed off of the ground where I was almost falling into him I forced my magic into my chest to swell and pushed it down my arms and into my fists. When I swung to hit Gajeel he stopped, looking at me with complete confusion. I didn't even realize that my fist started to glow or the fact that I wasn't stopping my attack even though Gajeel wasn't blocking it. My fist connected with his face hard and he went flying back slamming into a tree and breaking it in half. "Shit! Gajeel! Are you okay?"
"Where did that come from?" I looked at him not sure myself. I've never done that before. It just sort of happened. "I don't know. I was just angry and used it. I didn't even realize I was using my magic. I did it almost all subcounciously. Are you okay?" I walked over to him to help him up. He looked pretty scratched up, but the tree took most of the beating from his massive size. "Yeah, I'm okay. You should call out your lion though. He may know what happened. It felt a lot like his punches, but still different."
I called Leo out and he automatically hugged me. He had a wide smile on his face and looked like a cat that just got a large bowl of cream. "I'm so proud of you! What you did was remarkable. Me and Lev felt you pull out magic from the celestial world and mix it with your own. I've never had a master be able to do that!" He looked at me, his face full of pride and I couldn't help but smile up at him. "How was I able to do it though? I've never been able to do that in the past."
"It's because you have both of us princess. We have more celestial magic when we are together and because of that you have more power."
"What exactly does that mean Loke? How did I just do it without knowing?" He thought about it for a moment before smiling. "My magic, as well as my brothers is based off of emotion. Strong emotions can make us draw more power when fighting. You were angry, that's probably why. It was an amazing punch. Capricorn and myself will have to teach you hand to hand combat so you can master it better!"
"Oi! Don't even think about it furball! We got this. You sit back and let her train with some real men and not a perverted kitty cat." Loke was about to punch Gajeel when Lucy nervously laughed and stepped between the two. "Alright, I think we should get back. I'm kind of hungry and you pulled me out of bed too damn early. The least you can do is make me some breakfast." He didn't even put up an argument just started walking away. Granted, he started walking away in the wrong direction, but whatever.
"Where are you going? My house is the opposite way." He looked behind himself and smirked over at me. "My house is this way Bunny Girl. If I have to cook then we are going to use my kitchen and not your shitty small one." I was excited now. I've never seen Gajeel's house. It didn't take us long, but when we got to our destination I was a little speechless. It wasn't large or lavish, but it screamed Gajeel. There was wood and steel everywhere. It was almost like a mix of old country and new modern. It reminded me of expensive city apartments in some of the high rise buildings where they tried to look country, but this was the look they wished they'd accomplish.
"Your house is beautiful!" He looked over at me with pride showing on his face. Scratch that, maybe it was more ego and less pride. "With Pantherlily's help, I built it. It's not much, but it's my home. The wood is from the forest and the metal is from me. It is pretty awesome, isn't it?" His kitchen was almost all metal, but very comfortable and not at all as cold as it looked. He had black leather furniture and a few bookcases against the wall full of random treasures and a few books. "You read?" He looked at me confused for a moment before he noticed the books and laughed a moment.
"Not a chance. Reading's boring as hell! Levy keeps giving me books and I just put them there. I keep telling her not to give them to me, but that doesn't stop her. Personally I think she just ran out of space in her apartment and decided to start stocking up here." That thought was halerious. As much as I would like to say that she wouldn't do that, I could see it. "Now enough chatting, what would you like to eat?" I looked in his fridge and decided on a cheesy omelet with some orange juice. I was pleasantly surprised that he was a great cook! "I was thinking, you should be my slave today."
"Oh yeah? You only get one day so you should make it count." I nodded to him and thought about what I would make him do. There were so many things that he would hate. "I need to get some shopping done so you can carry my bags. Plus Cana was talking about going to a new club so I want to buy a new outfit for that. You can help me find the best outfit." I knew shopping would terrify him and the look on his face was making my torture so much better! "Come on Bunny, I can do other things! I don't want to shop!"
"It'll be fun Gajeel! Just think I'll model all of my outfits for you." This made him smirk a little. "Bunny, you already have a ton of clothes at your place. You can do that anyway without shopping. Plus, if you want to take your clothes off for me I'm not going to stop you." I couldn't help but blush. I know he was just joking with me and that he didn't see me that way, but the more time I spent with the Dragon Slayer I wanted to see him in that way. He was nothing like I imagined. He was so nice towards me. Maybe I was reading too far into this. It didn't matter. I knew I wanted to look good for him. If Cana was going to go to the club with me then I will convince her to drag the guys with too. We never specified a date to go, but if we were all going to go out later than it would play right into my hand to go tonight.
It only took some swearing and growling to get him out of the door and into the clothes stores. I placed him in a seat near the dressing room and told him to stay put. I came back moments later with about ten different outfits in my arms. He groaned louder which only made me laugh at his distress. "Do me a favor and be honest, okay?"
"I don't want to be here." He growled out. "When I say be honest, I mean about the clothes." He gave me scowl. "Just the clothes." His scowl stayed in place while I put the first outfit on. Almost everything I picked was a little daring. There was no way I could wear a bra with any of it, but the outfits were sexy as hell. The first one was red and strappy. It stopped mid thigh and almost gave the impression that it was just a wrap of sorts. It covered the parts it needed to, but not much else. It wrapped around my breasts, barely, and crisscrossed around my stomach to cover my waist to my mid thigh. If I moved in the outfit my ass was sure to make an appearance. Could I even walk out of the room with this on? It was pretty sexual. I sighed and pushed as much courage into me as I could. I wanted him to be turned on for tonight if I was going to force him to dance with me so I had to.
I walked out of the room and into his line of sight. I stared at him straight in the eye to gauge his reaction with the outfit. His eyes went wide as he looked me up and down. I saw them darken in lust and was immediately excited. "You can't wear this. Too many guys will be all over you. Put something else on." Well that was horrible disappointing. I wanted to wear it for him and be sexy for him, not other men. He found me attractive, but maybe he wasn't interested in that type of relationship. Maybe the other outfit will work more. I started to put the other dress on which was a tight small dress. It was a silky light blue dress that hugged all of my curves perfectly. There was a small sparkle to the dress, but besides that it was pretty plain. It looked great with my skin tone though and that's what I liked about it. Even though I didn't have much of a tan it made me look pretty yummy.
I stepped out of the room again to show him the second dress and he wasn't there. What the hell? Did he ditch me? I looked around the store and found him talking to the sales clerk. The sales clerk then disappeared to the back of the store to return about a minute later with a black dress. It looked identical to the blue one I currently had on. It looked like silk, but had a sparkle to it. He walked over to me and smiled. It was rare to see him smile. He must have noticed the dress I was wearing and the one he was carrying. "Put this one on Bunny and then call me in. I want to make a few tweaks to it." I looked at him curiously, but did as he said. It only took me a few seconds to pull the one dress off and pull this one on. I told him I was done and he walked into the changing room and closed the door behind him. He had a look on his face that I've never seen before and couldn't place the emotions behind it. It didn't scare me in the least, but it made me excited. His eyes were dark again and I knew he was turned on.
"Don't get scared, okay?" Scared? Why would I get scared? What exactly was he going to do to me? I nodded to him and felt his hands land on my shoulder. They slid down to the top of the dress and I felt my mouth go dry. What was he doing? I felt him pull at the fabric slightly and heard the smallest of rips. I was freaking out in my head before I felt his magic surround me. The metal started lining the top of the dress. I felt it making a pattern into the dress and fraying some of the silk material. He ran his hands down my sides and onto my stomach repeating the action until there was metal touching all over the dress. When he was done he spun me around so I could look in the mirror. The dress looked amazing! The metal was soft against my skin and was sown into the material. It was always meant to be there, but yet it would be the only one with it. This was amazing. The pattern was a crisscross pattern all over the dress and there were areas that tore the silk and left skin to be shown. It was sexy as hell.
"Do you like it?" Of course I liked it. I loved it. To think I came here to find something to turn him on and he made the dress. His eyes were dark and he was giving me a look I've seen many times over my years. I knew he wanted me. His eyes screamed it and if he played his cards right, I would give him everything he was imagining in that ego filled head of his. Ever since that damn dream I felt like I wanted to be with him and with the way he's been around me I could tell how much he actually cared about me. I wonder if he was the one that Laxus was talking about. I wasn't an idiot. There were only a few men that it could be and they were all in the guild. I'm hoping it was him.
"I love it! Lets go pay for it!" He smiled down at me again. "No need Bunny. It's already paid for. Should I help you take it off though?" I blushed at the sound of his voice. It was deeper than I've ever heard it and my panties instantly were drenched. I didn't realize that his hands were still on me until I felt them move to my stomach from my hips. I turned around to face him and he looked away from the mirror to look directly at me. I knew he could smell me. I knew how sensitive a Dragon Slayer's nose was so he knew I was turned on. There was no going back. If I wanted to be with him I knew I had to be bold. I dragged my fingers against his neck which made him growl in approval and brought his head lower while I leaned up so our lips could meet. His eyes flew open wide when our lips met and for a second I didn't think he was going to kiss me back.
Right when I was about to pull away I felt his hand move to the back of my neck while his other one wrapped around my waist to keep me against him. I felt him pull me up easily and his tongue traced my lips to ask for entrance. I immediately gave it to him and moaned as his tongue traced mine. He growled in response and lightly pushed me against the wall of the changing room. His hand tangled into my hair and pulled my face upwards. His lips left mine and trailed my jawline and down to my neck. Before anything else could happen he pulled away. "We should go before the owner comes over."
Even though I was lightheaded from his actions I knew he was right. "Yeah, I need to find shoes now for the club. We're going to go tonight if you're okay with that." He groaned at the concept of more shopping but walked out of the changing room nonetheless. Tonight will be interesting.
AN: Okay so I now know exactly where I am going with the story! Isn't that exciting? I love the reviews and all the love from you guys. I had every intention of posting a chapter on Wednesday and then one today, but my kitty wasn't doing well so I had I had to take care of him. I'm devastated to say that He died Thursday night :_( He was very much loved and spoiled for most of his life. I say most because he adopted me when I was 13. Literally. I lived in Chicago at the time and it was December. I was on my front porch and this beautiful white cat walked up my driveway and jumped on my lap. I put posters up and an ad in the paper that we found him and no one claimed him so I kept him. He was five to seven years old the vet told me and that was fourteen years ago so...It was for the best, but needless to say that I was a mess all week knowing it was coming.
I'm already working on the next chapter though!
