Hey everyone sorry for the late update but you know I'm busy as usual. So here's the story sorry if it's short enjoy

"It's about Levy and her behavior lately," said Natsu seriously as Gajeel was surprise that this was his reason to come talk with him about.

"What about Levy and her behavior lately?" asked Gajeel disinterestedly as he could so Natsu wouldn't notice his interest.

"She has been going on missions quickly after she got back from finishing another one. Jet and Droy don't go with her because she forces them not to accompany her. All this has to be because of you," pointed Natsu as Gajeel looked at him surprise.

"So you think I'm the source of her problems that's bullshit Salamander. Why would I be the reason?" suggested Gajeel as he understood why she was acting like this, but for what purpose.

"I just have a hunch that Levy is probably angry about something you did," stated Natsu matter-of-fact. Gajeel huffed at his assumptions but thought of something to ask him.

"Why exactly are you interested in this anyways besides helping out your friend?" asked Gajeel waiting to see what Natsu would answer.

"Because you are hurting Levy in an emotionally and physically way. Don't tell me you already forgot what you once told me about Lucy," said Natsu briefly as Gajeel's eyes widen. His mind remembering what he did to help Natsu with his problem with Lucy.

Flackback:

Gajeel was relaxing at the back of the guild watching the mayhem unfold once again by Natsu and Gray. He was glancing at Levy with want, but ignored it as something that was bothering him. After hearing Erza kicking their ass as usual, Gajeel sigh and left the guild after notifying Lily about leaving. While walking he stumble upon a path into the woods and decided to go along it to kill time. During his walk, he reached upon a house with vines covering it and a sign on the front. He ignored the sign not even bothering to glance at it. Once he stopped by to see if there is anyone there he turned and bumped into the owner of the house. He dust off his clothes and looked to glare at the pink-haired man in front of him.

"Hey Flame Head watch where you're going," complained Gajeel as he glared at Natsu. Natsu copy Gajeel's actions and looked at him with surprise, but then glared back.

"Watch where you're going Metal Face," counteract Natsu as he glared at Gajeel.

"Tch, why bothering sticking around with you. You're just going to make me lose brain cells by talking to you," retorted Gajeel as he was about to walk past him when a thought occurred to him.

"What are you doing here, anyways? Were you following me you stalker," said Gajeel disgusted which cause Natsu to yelled "What the hell! I don't go that way and what are you doing near my house?"

Gajeel stopped, turned, and sniffed the air around them for scents. Gajeel cursed under his breath as he realized just now that he was indeed near Natsu's home. Natsu had his arms wrapped against his chest with a scowl.

"Eh I guess I didn't notice this was your stink hole. I was minding my own business and stumble upon here," explained Gajeel since Natsu still hasn't said anything. He sigh and began to leave when Natsu said "Stop."

Gajeel looked at him and noticed that Salamander everyone knows was sweating bullets and looked nervous. Natsu couldn't believe he said that but where was he going to look for help in an another dragon-slayer. There is no way I'm asking those Sabertooth bastards thought Natsu.

"What do you want, ya Pyro?" asked Gajeel regaining Natsu's attention.

"C-C-Can you help me understand something about m-mating? You know for dragon-slayers like us and how does it work," asked Natsu bluntly but with a flush face.

"...So do you know about the birds & the bee's?" asked Gajeel not answering Natsu's question.

"Yes I know about the birds & the bee's. What's that got to do with mating?" snorted Natsu at Gajeel's ridiculous question.

"Then it similar to that it just well..." trailed off Gajeel as he realized how weird this was discussing this with Natsu.

"Well, what?" prompt Natsu as he noticed Gajeel's reaction.

"Well, you are finding the one who holds your heart, soul, and world," said Gajeel which Natsu gave him a confused look.

"What I mean is you find your soul mate , your other half, your true love and can't leave without her," explained Gajeel slowly.

"So that's why I've been acting like that in front of -" stopped Natsu as he blushed at what he was about to say.

"I'm guessing you were about to say Lucy," laughed Gajeel as Natsu began to blush even harder.

"Hey, leave me alone. What should I tell Lucy, she thinks I've been acting like a complete idiot in front of her," said Natsu sadly.

"Salamander, we all think you are a complete idiot ,but go and confess to her since you love her," cheered Gajeel which Natsu smiled at him and went to find Lucy.

"Ah, there's no helping him in any way. He's completely an idiot," smiled Gajeel as he was about to leave and heard his name called out.

"GAJEEL! I help you whenever you have problem with mating," yelled Natsu with a smile and waving his hand in the air.

"In your dreams, if I was in mating I'd figured it out already," called Gajeel as he walked away waving his hand back at Natsu.

"There is no way that Levy has feelings for me that way, Pyro," snapped Gajeel as Natsu was taken in surprise by his snappish attitude.

"Well, we'll see about that. Let's go," said Natsu as he stood and waited for Gajeel to copy his actions. Grumbling as he did, Gajeel couldn't believe what Natsu could be implying about Levy falling for him which made him happy inside but outside with disbelief.
