This story is kind of based on what happened with my Dad and I ~

"Taro, please." Levy flashed the cashier a brilliant smile before walking to an empty table and plopping down.

"Taro...?" Gajeel asked skeptically. He had been innocently on his way to the guild until Levy spotted him from a nearby café and insisted him joining her.

"That's right. You do know what taro is, don't you?"

"Of course –I'm not an idiot. What kind of café serves taro though?" The iron dragon slayer quietly scanned his surroundings. There was an uncanny number of female mages scattered all over the place.

"Bookworm...where exactly are we?"

Levy grinned happily. "It's a bubble tea place, of course! And Taro is my favorite flavor."

Gajeel visibly stiffened. "BUBBLE TEA?"

His companion nodded slowly. "What's wrong with bubble tea?"

"I'm not gonna have this girly crap! Guys don't drink bubble tea." He spat the last two words condescendingly, as though it were some kind of disease and not at all a delicious, fruity beverage.

"What? That's nonsense! Anyone can drink bubble tea. See? There's Bob-chan over there. He comes here every day!"

Gajeel crossed his arms. "Thanks, that makes me feel loads better."

"One taro for Levy McGarden!"

The solid script mage perked up as her named was called. "Don't move! I'll be right back."

She quickly scooted off her chair and grabbed the drink on the counter top, running back in time to see Gajeel trying unsuccessfully to hide behind a stack of napkins.

"Here." Levy stabbed the straw through the cup and shoved it under Gajeel's nose. "Try a bit!"

He shook his head stubbornly, lips sealed tightly together.

"Gajeel~" She whined, poking him repeatedly. "I'm not going to quit until you take a sip!" She declared, her jabbing quickly turning into painful stabs.

"Okay, okay, fine! But then we leave, got it?"

Levy nodded happily, brown eyes unblinking as she cautiously watched Gajeel take a small sip.

"Well? How is it?"

"Tastes like crap." Gajeel sneered. "Come on, we're out of here."

Levy frowned as she followed him out of the café. "There are always other flavors, you know. Maybe taro's just not for you. Strawberry and coconut are also good -let's try coconut next time! It's not as-," she stopped mid sentence as the drink suddenly disappeared from her hands

"Hey! Gajeel! Give me back my bubble tea!" She yelled, as she tore after the dragon slayer who currently had the drink clutched tightly in his hands.

"Next time, order your own!"

Hope you enjoyed !
