Through a Strangers Eyes

Train Conductor

"Ticket please." I greet the next couple boarding the train, an odd couple at that. The girl was petite and fragile and the man was dark and menacing. I could see the tattoo of the guild Fairy Tail on the shoulder of the man. After their amazing comeback in the Grand Magic Games 3 years ago and their current complete domination in the Games, it was hard not to recognize the guild mark of the powerful, albeit rowdy, guild.

The girl handed me two tickets with a small smile as the man, who I came to realize was the incredible Iron Dragonslayer Gajeel, groaned.

"Do we really have to take the train, shrimp?"

"Yes, we really do. I know you'd rather walk but we need to get back to the guild." The girl, a bright blue haired girl at that, quipped.

"But you know I'm bad with vehicles now! Are you really going to be this cruel?" I realized he was talking about his motion sickness… apparently all dragonslayers are prone to it…

"I'm not being cruel Gajeel! We have to get back to the guild by tonight! It's Wendy's birthday, if you haven't forgotten, and what kind of friends would we be if we missed it?"

"She'd understand though!" Gajeel protested.

The girl sighed in exasperation as I showed them to their compartment. They were the last to board and quite interesting people so I decided to show them to their compartment… I do that on occasion… I sometimes learn some very interesting things. From what I heard, I'm guessing their dating or very close… and they are on their way back from a mission… well that much was obvious what with the giant rucksack the Iron Dragonslayer had over his shoulder.

"I'm sure she would but that's not the point! You're practically an older brother to her, she will want you there." The girl scolded, not in the least fazed by the fact that the man beside her could easily crush her with his power. That girl is either his girlfriend, or has gut… or both…

"Then why didn't we leave last night like I suggested and walk back to Magnolia? We would've made it!"

"That may be true, but would we have had time to buy Wendy a decent present? It is her 16th birthday!" She scolded.

By the way they talked to each other one could tell they liked each other, even with their bickering.

"Sorry to interrupt," I cut in; getting an angry glare from the man that was quickly wiped from his face with a pointed glare from the girl. "Here's your compartment, we shall be leaving shortly."

The moment the door closed I heard them arguing again.

"Do presents matter that much?"

"Yes, they do."

"Well, what did you get her at least?"

"A book about medicinal herbs, and magic herbs."

"Sounds like something very you. Fits her perfectly though."

"Oh, and I thought it would be nice if you made her a little bookmark out of iron… that way it'll be from both of us!"

"Fine… I'll do it when we get back, could you knock me out or something?"

"Oh, Gajeel… you know I don't like doing that…" I hear her sigh. "… Fine…"

I realize I'm still standing in the hall by their compartment. I send the message to the driver that we are ready to depart and turn to go on my way when I hear a poof from the mage's cabin.

I rush over to find the man out cold lying with his head on the girls lap snoring. The girl looked up when she saw me.

"Sorry, he gets motion sickness so I put a simple sleep spell on him. Sorry if I caused any trouble…" the girl smiled sheepishly.

"…no, that's fine…" I say staring at the girl who seemed perfectly at ease.

They trust each other… As I look over at the girl as I leave, I see the loving look in her eye. They must be together…
