"Hey Mira." the young white haired women looked over at Gajeel, who was chewing a large chunk of metal sloppily. "oh, good morning Gajeel how are you today?" his reply was his usual grunt. "Have you seen Deli… I mean Iceheart?" the white haired women starred at him with wide excited eyes. "Oh, so your looking for Delilah-Chan ha?"
She giggled at his blushing face and handed him a folded paper then said, "but you didn't hear it from me." Gajeel rolled his eyes and with that Mira ran off to her boyfriend Laxus' side. Gajeel shook his head and proceeded to open the piece of paper and took another bite of his lunch as he read the description.
'Very wealthy man looking for strong mage to take my spoiled son into woods to teach him to fend for himself' he took another bite from his meal and continued reading. 'month long trip paid for every week he stays alive' he chuckled at the last sentence then continued reading once more. ' if son becomes injured who cares he must stay out of sight from both mine and the town's peoples eyes'
Gajeel laughed and thought out loud to himself. " That boy won't last a week with Iceheart." he took the remaining bit of metal in hi hand and ate it all in one bite, only to shortly after spit it out in hundreds of sharp daggers towards poor Warren and Max, just missing the now terrified mages.
"20,000,000 JEWELS TO TEACH A BOY TO BE A MAN!" he crushed the paper in his hand then looked to his left as Mira handed him a bag and whispered in his ear. " And that's just per week so when she returns she'll have bragging rights and 80,000,000 jewels in her pocket."
Gajeel tensed up and looked at the door. " Go Gajeel , claim what is yours and tell her." and in the same second of Mirajane finishing her sentence he was already racing for the door not forgetting to give Natsu a farewell punch in the face.
Natsu walked to where Mira who already had an icepack waiting for him. The pinkette teen looked at her and said. " He seems excited." Mira sighed in a mesmerized way, " You have no idea."
She was startled when she felt Laxus wrap his muscular arms around her waist from behind. "Why do you always get involved in peoples love lives… besides I thought he was dating Levy?" The lightning mage said then Mira looked up at him and only managed to say, "well, yes but…" until she was interrupted by Levy who was standing behind them.
"Yes he was but, the truth in the matter is that they have a love that is stronger then those two put together." "It's true you know?" Laxus and Mira's eyes then shifted to Natsu as he continued. "Dragons can only love one person and for metal head it happened to be Delilah… Why did you think he only called her Iceheart?"
Everyone but Laxus (who was already bored with the on going conversation) looked at the fire dragon slayer with puzzled expressions. "*sigh* it's because if he calls he by her first name then he will be forever bonded to her as his 'mate'." Laxus rolled his eyes and scowled at the teenage boy. "You say it as if it were common knowledge…OI! Flame brain not everybody's a dragon slayer." he yelled. Natsu shot a look at Laxus then proceeded with what he was saying. "that's also why I call Lucy, 'Luce' because I'm not ready to admit my feelings to her." he blushed as the girls squealed and then tackled him to the ground with tears of joy running down their faces yelling "WE KNEW IT!"
