***I don't own Fairytail***
Wake up with a jolt
Cana busted into another fit of laughter as she saw the glare Gajeel sent her.
-Hey, Natsu was the one who threw her across the damn hall, Gajeel mutter as he scoffed at Cana's laughing.
It wasn't long before they were all seated on a table and Mira kindly filled Cana in on what was going on. Sphinx lay on the end of the table with Bixlow still fiddling around with her tail.
To everyone's surprise Natsu had been a gentleman enough to actually lend his beloved scarf as a pillow to Sphinx. Somehow Sphinx had wrapped it around her eyes to block out the light. The pink haired mage stayed close to her and played with a lock of her hair.
- She's never gets up before noon, Cana explained,
- If by some reason she's forced to do so she won't be functional, well as you can see, Cana pointed at the end of the table were Sphinx layer motionlessly.
-Why? Lucy asked.
- ugh, well I can't really remember how she explained it, something about, it being against the rules of her existence, Cana chuckled and took another swing from the barrel.
Turns out the tipsy brunette had actually had some pretty wild party nights with Sphinx and sometimes she had been too drunk to actually make her own way home so Sphinx had let her sleep over. She knew a lot about the weird habits of the mysteries' Sphinx.
-So she's more nocturnal, Freed stated eloquently.
- I guess, Cana shrugged before turning a playful glare at the Iron dragon slayer,
-What I wonder is why did you Gajeel, Mr. I -don't-give- a-flying-fuck, drag that, Cana pointed a finger at Sphinx,
- To the guild? Her grin widened as the red eye glared at her once again.
Gajeel's eyes narrowed even more as the other started to wonder the same thing. It was a trap; he could come clean and say that he wanted her to stop avoiding them. But that would leave to more questions and soon they would use his own words against him.
The grinning Cana wiggled her eyebrows at him, damn drunk, the raven heard slayer cursed in his mind. The other watched him curiously waiting for an explanation.
Sphinx could feel their presence but being too tired she didn't focus on them but let it be. She could hear the disturbing noises around her, the meaning of the words didn't register but the noise around her disturbed her sleep. However their voices still kept her form deep, peaceful and resting sleep making her very irritated. With a long loud yawn Sphinx got clumsily on all fours off the table.
For a moment they actually thought she might wake up, the white dragon scale scarf still hang on her head hiding her face. Quietly they watched as she arched her back upwards, while tail lifting up slowly. Then she let her hand slide forward and her back dipped. Sphinx let out a pleased hum as a pop from her joints was heard.
His knew his mouth was open and that he was most definitely staring but there wasn't any force in the universe that could tear his eyes away. Gajeel had completely stop breathing as teasing woman had taken this provocative position in front of him. He could feel the tingling in his lower stomach and savored he sight. Taking the seat at the end of the table had never been this awarding.
Her as was just so inviting, having her all bent forward on all four in front of him had his mind spinning. Bixlow looked from the side taking in how limberly her chest reached the table surface. How easy it would be just to rip those shorts off her…
- Holy, shit, now that's the kind of sight I want to be greeted every morning. Strong masculine voice made most of the males snap out of their day dreams.
Laxus made his way down the stairs form the upper level, just as Sphinx lowed her body against the table and resumed her sleep making everyone sight again. The blond Mage had his trademark coat hanging from his shoulders and arms crossed over his chest. His eyes stayed on the slumbering female that now lay on the table with Natsu's scarf over her head.
-Morning Laxus, Mira greeted with her radiant smile,
-Pulled anther 'all nighter'? There was the motherly symphony in her voice as she got up and made her way over to the bar.
-Yeah, Gramps had to leave go out for a bit so he dumped all his work on me. The lighting mage said annoyance evident
-I'll make your breakfast, the white haired takeover mage call from the kitchen.
His eyes ran up her tan legs, his keen eyes sight could see the small scaring from years of battle. Her chest rose and lowered in a calm rhythm. The slightest twitch from her tail had his focused on her thighs again,
Oh, how smooth and soft they looked.
-So she sleeps, and you weirdoes just look? Laxus said now looking around at the people surrounding the sleeping mage.
-She won't wake up; Gray huffed not liking being called a weirdo.
Laxus leaned his hand on top of the table making his upper body hover a little closer over the curled up Sphinx. There were a numerous things he suddenly found annoying.
His eyes glared at Natsu's scarf, it didn't belong there it didn't belong anywhere near her exotic features.
Then her own wild scent was mixed up with Iron, which obviously belonged to Gajeel and the unmistaken smell of campfire lingered on her as well.
Third was not only the people that watch her sleep, was the face that she was sleeping out in the open, and dressed in a hoody and shorts giving the people present quit a lot of skin to see.
What the hell is wrong with this one?
Letting out a sight he tried to control his temper, Laxus knew that the lack of sleep made him easily irritated and it wasn't right to take it out on his guild mates, especially as they had now grown fairly relaxed in his presence.
Then again it wasn't right to sleep at this hour at the middle of the guild either. His eyes glanced at Bixlow who automatically caught on onto his intention as a wide grin came to his face and he leaned back from the table.
-Natsu take you rag off her, to the blond dragon slayer it was a waist to cover up her beautiful face.
-But, she likes it; the younger slayer whined only to receive a glare from Laxus with made him carefully peal the white scarf from her.
Sphinx hand only a second to realize that someone took away her darkness when she received the worst awakening ever.
In s blink a painful jolt trashed through her body making air squeeze out of her lungs and her heart to stop. Her eyes flashed open as she without knowing lashed out her every limb before jumping in the air with a loud scream.
A loud crash was heard as the mage sailed through the guild straight into another set of tables and chairs. It was supposed to hurt, but the woman had more difficulties to get her breath to even as she panted frankly.
Sphinx shot up in a flash, those endless blue eyes looking wild around her as she panted to feel the air in her lungs. Her heart pounded rapidly in her chest and she felt the current in her nervous system making her twitch and tense up very unpleasantly.
- Well she's definitely awake now, Laxus said amused
- Ooh, I'm kind of disappointed; I thought cats land always on their feet. Bixlow said grinning wildly.
Gray and Lucy stood up from the floor; Sphinx had managed to kick Natsu and Cana while she reserved the unexpected strike from the lighting dragon slayer. Gray ever the gentleman had covered Lucy and therefore took a kick on his back making both of them fall to the floor.
Gajeels quick reflexes had saved him from getting any of her wild hits. The rest of the thunder god tribe had managed to sit far enough to be out of her danger zone.
-Are you okay Sphinx? The worried Mira had run out of the kitchen when she heard the scream.
The blue eyes looked at her before giving the smallest of nods. Her muscles protested her head was empty, the situation soon registered to her.
-What the hell, she breathed out,
Guild, Laxus, lighting.
Her hand came to her face expecting to feel the smooth fabric of her mask but she only felt her face. Her eyes looked down to see that she sure as hell wasn't wearing her normal outfit either. Her hands suddenly padded around herself comically.
Don't tell me,
- Cana, her uncertain voice said before those blue eyes found her friend still on the floor.
The brunette turned to look at her in acknowledgement. Sphinx gulped before her mortified eyes came to hers momentarily forgetting about everything else.
-Cana, w- why do I feel like I have a lot less clothes on that I'm supposed to? Please tell me I didn't do anything stupid again.
Cana tilted her head slightly but suddenly realizes what she meant. Eyes turned from her to Sphinx and back, before it was clear to all of them. Laxus, Gajeel, Bixlow and even Gray soon looked at the dark haired woman with new eyes, up and down slowing in few places.
The paleness in Sphinxes face suddenly vanished as a flustered embarrassment took place. Her ears lowered and her tail swirled from awkwardly around her legs. Her hand came to hide one side of her face; she missed her mask even more now.
-Why am I always in these kinds of situations? She mumbled to no one.
Her obvious discomfort was absolutely adorable and hot at the same time. Bixlow shamelessly took in how her legs still trembled from Laxus shock and how she hugged her body with one arm. The pink hue made her eyes look so innocent even as the all knew she was far from it.
Did they have to look at her like that?
She was lost, frozen in her spot as everyone looked at her. Confusion and dread swell in her mind and her brain had clearly stopped working. Again she missed her own comfort outfit the one she could hide and hold as a shield against people.
These were her guild members but still she felt the urge to run, unfortunately it seemed her nervous system was all jumbled up, or maybe it was her mind.
Suddenly it seem as the testosterone level's had risen in the hall. Her stomach seemed to tighten as the heat of their aura seemed to reach her. Peeking at the people there her eyes immediate fell captive of Gajeel's dominant eyes.
Sphinx scowled her own mind; in her dream the Iron dragon slayer had given her the similar kind of demanding look, promising of passion and satisfaction.
Sphinx couldn't take the heat form their eyes, her weight moved from one leg to another. Sphinx managed turned her gaze a little away and bit her lower lip. Still shacking from the jolt and she hated it.
Why did everyone try to prevent her from sleeping? It seemed almost cruel. Just like how Gajeel's red eyes pierced her making her feel very much more naked that she already was.
Shaking his head lightly Laxus tried to wrap his mind around how some could just look too good to eat without their own knowledge. Sucking in a slow breath he could again smell her intoxicating sent. Of course, when he shocked her, Sphinx's body woke up in sudden fear and adrenaline spike making her own natural scent cover the others.
So much better
It made the back of his tongue tingle with wanton. It didn't help that she seemed to rub her thighs together in such ways that made him want to open them.
It was a low growl again something a human ear couldn't catch but sure enough it was a hungry growl. Sphinx lifted her gaze to her left where Natsu had appeared. However it wasn't the fight-loving all eating clueless Natsu that she was used to.
This one was very different and its eyes were locked on her. As the air had suddenly became too hot to breath Sphinx's ears flattened against her hair and her eyes widened at the pink haired mage. His aura was almost too much for her to handle right now.
Don't tell me
Again the rumbling noise of his growl trembled in her sensitive ears. It was like it was calling for her, making her notice his dominance. Without knowing she let out a whimper sound escaped and the beast next to her moved his weight.
-Oh, shit, Gajeel said under his breath as he watched his fellow dragon slayer focused on the female.
It was the second time today that Natsu was losing his sense and going with what his instincts told him. Cursing colorfully in his mind he readied himself to pounce at the idiot
Of course Natsu had to pick this time to mature, him and Laxus were older and could clearly control their dragon ways. And Sphinx just had to be in such a compromising and delicious position, and her scent just made you lose it. Well Gajeel couldn't really blame the fire mage to get triggered by her.
Her whole being screamed of challenge and heat, there was nothing that could draw a male dragon faster than a challenging female. Of course it did help that she was smoking hot and now the mental image of her not having much clothing on made her seem like an invitation for a dragon to show his dominance.
-Here we go, he whispers before Gajeel sent an Iron pillar towards Natsu.
To everyone's surprise Natsu had looked up just enough to take a hold of the pillar and skillfully shoved it to aside. The fire burned in his eyes as he let out a roar at the Iron Slayer. The sound shocked the whole guild, making the other back away from the enraged dragon slayer.
Suddenly it wasn't just about the female. It was about dominance as the growing dragon would want to more, more authority, more treasure. Gajeel's grin widened predatory his aura grew to boost his own dominance, like he would ever let Natsu take his place. Fangs grew and flicked of iron came across his skin.
- You want to go Salamander, he growled at the younger male.
Fire licked his skin as he took another step towards the female; Natsu hadn't forgotten about the tormenting sent, the reason he craved for. He wanted her. Natsu however never got the chance to take another step towards Sphinx.
Faster than a blink he was sent flying to the other side of the guild by a larger lightning filled fist. Almost as the air grew heavy, from the static and auras in the hall, lighting cracked and disturbed the atmosphere.
- Psss, Sphinx, The stunned female heard from behind her.
Sphinx finally tore her wide eyes from the massive form of Laxus in front of her to glance over her shoulder.
Like a welcoming wave she saw Bixlow and Freed motion for her to come to them. As she turned as heard the mountain of a man do low growl making her halt in her step. It was like the very air around her rumbled under his command. It wasn't a call like Natsu's and the way Laxus suddenly tilted his head just enough to catch her blue eyes made her listings the blond slayer closr. .
The electricity in his stormy eyes held her captive as she still felt his magic in her veins. The lighting around his body made his eyes look even more intimidating, as they fixated on her with a look, a look that somehow made her feel even more uneasy. It was as if the lightning dragon slayer just promised her something.
Sphinx didn't quite understand the message he was sending but somehow it sent a bad feeling down her spine. Finally relishing her from his gaze he turned his head back and she jumped the last few steps into Bixlow who wrapped his hand around her and quickly too her away from the loud dominance battle of dragon slayers.
- This is not good, Sphinx heard Lucy say as they excited the guild.
- Can't agree more..
