Author's Note: Ok, so I've decided to make this a series of one-shots. Updates will be sporadic and… Just yeah. Also, this is cliché and I know it. It's past midnight and I couldn't fall asleep until I wrote this. Due to lack of updates, here you go.
Disclaimer: Judging by the fact that I'm writing fanfiction, it should be obvious that I own nothing.
No one denied that he was a Beast. After all, he had single-handedly nearly destroyed their guild, back when he was part of Phantom Lord. Even now, he scared most of the saner (sane being relative, this was Fairy Tail, after all) members of the guild off just by glaring at them. Admittingly, he was closer to the members of this guild than he ever was to his old one, but the general consensus was that out of all of the Dragon Slayers, he was the scariest by far.
Few people called her a Beauty. Cute, yes, but beautiful? She was shorter than most her age, with a childish look that only added to her youthful perception. Sure, she was powerful, especially after training with him for the S-class trials. But everyone underestimated her, believing that she would much rather stay with her books. While that was true most of the time, she wouldn't have minded being feared a little for the strength her words truly held.
Everyone thought they would never fall for each other. She had two princes waiting for her to choose one of them. He was the dragon that had attacked her and made her small, back before he learned better. She had feared him, he was determined to make amends. But it all came down to the fact that they were too different for anyone to see it coming. Anyone, besides his Exceed partner.
He was the only one who remembered the story. He could see the signs that they would end up completing each other.
Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme… Beauty and the Beast
