Dedicated to packluv who wanted some Gale and anyone who loves Gajeel x Levy and Kinana x Cobra like I do :) Gale force winds up a head ;) but some Cobrana angst... What did I say? Yes I said it ANGST D:
Chapter 3.2 - How To Train Your Dragon ( Or horsey...?)
( Levy's and Kinana's style)
When Gajeel returned from his three day mission with Lilly, they were surprised to find a drunk bookworm who wanted a horse...
Gajeel was not prepared for this at all, he had heard tales from Natsu and Mavis, that when the girls got drunk. Lucy wanted to be a cat, Juvia was especially needy and Levy was extremely loud, funny & happy then Gajeel recalled that bookworm and bunny girl made a vow never to get drunk again, unless they were with each other. But where was bunny girl, in fact where was even Salamander? Gajeel looked around the guild, as he was trying to hide from the shrimp. He was very much aware of the bet and he very much did want to seduce the shrimp but not like this. Then Gajeel slapped himself, where was he getting all these feelings from?
" What are you doing under there?" Cobra asked the iron dragon slayer, who was sitting underneath a table as he did not want to kiss Levy.
" You should know mind reader!" Gajeel retorted.
" That is the bit I don't understand - the girl you like wants to kiss you and you are hiding!" Cobra was confused at all the confusing thoughts that Gajeel was thinking.
" I don't want my first kiss with Levy with her being drunk so she doesn't remember," Gajeel spoke as the poison dragon slayer found this day to be hysterical. Cobra had enough for one day, the cheesecake story with Jellal and Erza, Natsu and Lucy kissing then Natsu and Laxus smooching. He couldn't take it any more, Cobra was in tears.
" What's so funny?" Gajeel knew it he shouldn't be having these feelings, they didn't go with somebody like him...
" It's not you but man you have missed a hilarious few days because of the bet, Jellal basically sacrificed his pride to try and get with Erza, he was naked in her bed with a cheesecake and then Erza & Wendy came in the room, then today Freed set up a rune trap for Laxus and Lucy where Natsu was trapped in the corner, so Lucy started crying about her first kiss when she went to kiss Laxus but Natsu knocked him out the way and he kissed her instead but they couldn't get out the trap that way so Natsu wanted to try and punch Laxus in the face but everyone thought Natsu was going to kiss Laxus! So Laxus ran up to Salamander and smooched him..." Cobra was in tears as Gajeel was in crying because of the funniness and upset because he missed it all - why did he miss moments like this? Cobra continued on. " As Laxus was pretending to be bisexual and teasing Cana about a time where she got so drunk she stripped for him, Gildarts was standing at the door and heard everything!" Gajeel was gone, he couldn't take anymore but he had to know if Laxus and Gildarts fought.
" And no they are fighting tomorrow, Meredy and Ultear are probably asleep by now at Fairy Hills if you want to know where they are and Cana brought out the alcohol, so everyone is drunk in here apart from me, Kinana and Mirajane."
" So wait Wendy has seen Jellal naked?" Gajeel asked the mind reader.
" Well yes," Cobra replied as he raised his eyebrows when Gajeel was going to plan bloody murder for his "younger sister."
" Jellal must pay, nobody does that to my little sister and gets away with it!" Gajeel banged his fists on the floor, as Cobra stared in amazement and decided it was best to go back to Kinana's house, as she was leaving now. Mirajane was coping fairly well with the drunk members of the guild. Even when Macao and Wanakabe became perverts, a drunk Freed became a possessive drunk and Mira was strangely affected by it. Cobra couldn't take anymore of these awkward thoughts! Especially Cana's about Cana...
" Wait Kinana! I'll walk you to the house," Cobra spoke, as he heard Kinana say in her mind 'hurry up!' Kinana had moved out of Fairy Hills as her and Cobra rented a house together, he got the larger room as he payed more for the house, with being in 'Mystogan's' team, master let them go on some S-Class missions apparently it was the least they could do for bringing down all the dark guilds over the se. Cobra realised in that moment, master did class them a part of Fairy Tail. Cobra wished he could actually wear the mark of Fairy Tail.
It had been an awkward few days between Kinana and Cobra at their house because of the bet and Cobra wasn't particularly interested in anyone so he was planning on just leaving it to the other guys to seduce the girls. But what Cobra didn't plan on happening was hearing thoughts from the lesser known mages such as Max Alors that they would ask Kinana to be their girlfriend and also Elfman thought that Kinana would fall for his manliness. Cobra wanted to punch all of them and tell them that Kinana was his - but he couldn't do that... Kinana/Cubelios was his best friend.
Kinana walked next to Cobra, she smiled at him but he kept a concentrated look on his face.
" Don't go away from me, it's to dark..." Cobra looked at Kinana, as she felt chills go down her spine, his eye was piercing into her. Before Kinana could respond, she heard a collection of slurred voices.
" Hello little girl, don't you think it's to dark for you to be wandering the streets like this - we'll take you back to our place and you can entertain us?" One of them grabbed onto her arm as Kinana was speechless, as Cobra winced at the thoughts he could hear and then his eyes were blazing.
" She isn't alone, she has me..." Cobra stood in front of Kinana defensively, pushing the guy off her as her stomach was doing summersaults, she was frightened out of her wits for Cobra. She read these sort of articles in the newspaper Fiore Times where there had been multiple kidnapping of women, in that last few months.
" What are you going to do about it - you really can't take on Tautorus foot soldiers! You are just a human," The dark guild mages laughed. " We are going to take your pretty little girlfriend away from you!" Tautorus boomed.
" Poison dragon scales attack!" Cobra roared. A million little scales went through all the foot soldiers, who didn't seem to be affected by it at all.
" So we have a poxy little fake dragon slayer here? Who uses poison magic? Hmm that sounds like one of the Oracion Seis members didn't it - Cobra wasn't it? You actually look quite similar to him apart from the fact that you hair is black and his hair was maroon, but you can't be Cobra as he has sound magic! So he would have figured out by now that we are all demons and the dragon slaying art can't affect us as we are immune to poison, I think it would be best just to hand over the girl... and we'll be going," The demons turned into their real forms as Kinana started to lose grip of reality.
One of the demons had the power to control the person's mind and create illusions, he started to manipulate Kinana's thoughts that she was on fire, that Cobra had burnt up in front of her and she started screaming out in pain. Kinana was in her own little bubble and Cobra couldn't get through, but he could hear her thoughts. She was going to die alone... She was never going to know who she actually was and why she was born a snake... The flames are going to consume her... There was to many flames and she was never going to make it out alive. Cobra will never love her as much as he loved Cubelios... Cobra roared and he unleashed his sound magic.
" SOUND WALL!" Cobra boomed as the area around the demons started to build up pressure, the main demon screamed out in pain as Cobra kept squashing them all until there was only dust. He collapsed on the ground as he broke into tears when he saw Kinana's body right beside him.
" Kinana wake up..." Cobra choked. " ...please don't leave me with nothing left to fight for..."
" Erik? You are okay!" Kinana spluttered and she hugged him as Cobra started to go mad! All she was bothered about that he was alright? He didn't deserve her friendship but there was no time to argue with her as she was in a serious amount of pain. He lifted her up from the gravel and carried her back to their house.
She was already fast asleep, when they had finally got home. Cobra was worried... Maybe she should move back to Fairy Hills. He didn't like the thought of her walking all the way from the guild to the other side of Magnolia. She would be safe there but when they were at this home, both of them could see the stars. Kinana loved the stars more than Cobra loved snakes, and Cobra knew that her favourite memory was of him promising to ride a shooting star, if they ever got separated again. So when Kinana asked Crime Sorciere to offer a spot to Cobra on their team, unknowingly the girl saved him again. Kinana/Cubelios had saved Cobra many times from himself and he had nothing that he could give to her other than friendship. And he knew his friend Jellal felt the exact same way about Scarlet...
So Cobra didn't understand why his friend was apart of the bet.
Gajeel was pretty sure that Jellal was hiding from him. He couldn't find him anywhere, it was getting pretty late so Lilly had went home. Gajeel then realised that Jellal had probably went back to where he was staying. Half of the guild left and it was nearly midnight but bookworm was still up, she was completely loopy now and Mira had finally stopped her alcohol intake. Cana was bitterly disappointed. But Gajeel was happy, there was so many times being called 'horsey' he could take. And being the awesome dragon slayer he was, his rep was dwindling by having a cutie following him around.
HOLD ON! Did he just think that the shrimp was a cutie? Oh crap! Gajeel sat down in the nearest bar stool and tried to think about it properly.
" Horsey! horsey! horsey!" Levy pulled at Gajeel's hair making him yelp in pain as the remaining guild members burst into drunken laughter as Mirajane gave Gajeel a sympathetic nod.
" Oww shrimp get the fuck off me!" Gajeel moaned.
" Be a good horsey Gajeel, you don't want Levy-chan to use her whip do you?" Gajeel did a double-take. Wait did she just say a WHIP? A FUCKING WHIP? How much had bookworm drank? She definitely was not in her normal sweet state of mind. The iron dragon slayer would have found this so funny, if Levy didn't look so deadly serious.
" You don't have a whip shrimp!" Gajeel smiled then wiped off his face, when he saw the solid script mage make a whip. He was done for. This was the end of Gajeel...
" I want to be carried home Gajeel!" Levy jumped onto his back and whipped him as Gajeel screamed like a girl. " Take me home now horsey!" Levy whipped him again as a drunk Gray spoke up.
" Gajeel has finally been whipped by his book-worm!" The whole guild was in tears, this was the end to the most seriously hilarious day in their lives. Gajeel felt like he was being whipped in more ways than one, when Levy struck him again to faster.
" I'm training my horsey to be good!" Levy giggled. Gajeel decided to try a different tactic.
" No Shrimp I'm a dragon!" Gajeel responded then Levy smirked and struck him down again faster when they went through the guild doors, as the guild boomed.
" Nope you are my horse," Levy beamed as Gajeel was getting close to wanting to break her neck but now he had much better plan in mind, Gajeel then felt something disgusting on his back. Aww HELL NO - Levy literally had just spewed shrimp all down his hair and she had passed out on his head.
Why Mavis Why? Gajeel felt disgusted, that he was being so chivalrous towards Levy, well Levy wanted a horse and somehow she got iron knight as well. Gajeel was going to throw Lilly into a wall if he dared laughed, when he stomped into his house Lilly took one look at him and Levy and bursted into uncontrollable laughter.
" Clean up book-worm will you Lilly? I need a shower!" Lilly grew into a bigger exceed.
" Umm Gajeel... she has sick all over her legs... we are going have to bathe her..." This was just perfect! Gajeel stomped upstairs and quickly washed the gunk out of his hair as he was revolted with himself. He had to bathe Levy? He had to see shrimp's body naked in the water... Oh sweet revenge. Gajeel teehee'd but then he tried to ignore his own perverse desires.
As the two males scrubbed Levy, they couldn't help but think at how extremely awkward this was and when Lilly saw the whip. He nearly had a heart attack...
" Gajeel what did you do to her?" Lilly exclaimed.
" WHAT DID I DO? You shouldn't have left me there bro! She thought I was a horsey so much that she brought out a whip! It was the most humiliating experience of my life," The two men then had a heart attack when they banged Levy's leg against the bath and it started bleeding...Lilly wrapped the bombed out Levy in a white fluffy dressing gown which Gajeel had brought back from a spa once, Gajeel then carried her to his bed.
" You are sleeping on the sofa tonight Gajeel!" Lilly stated as Gajeel shook his head, lying down next to bookworm as Lilly's eyes popped out of his head when Gajeel put the whip on the bedside cabinet, then he just went back to his own room. Lilly figured that this was Gajeel's way of trying to get revenge. Lilly decided it would be best to get up early and stay out of Levy's way tomorrow.
Gajeel stared at Levy. He didn't know what it was about her but she was just epic. She never really ceased to amaze him, even though she wasn't strong, she was smart, fearless and determined. He looked at her again as she starting muttering something over and over again.
" No you big boobed sluts! Gajeel is my BOYFRIEND," Lilly burst out laughing from his own room and came marching in with his tape recorder as Levy kept saying it while for once in his life - the iron dragon slayer was genuinely speechless.
" Gajeel are you alive?" Lilly shook his friend as Gajeel passed out from the excitement. Lilly laughed at his comrade. With this tape recording - Gajeel had somehow won the bet.
The next day -
When Lucy couldn't find her friend anywhere in the library, or in her apartment or with Jet and Droy or in the guild hall. She was starting to get pretty worried, and when Lilly was without Gajeel and came walking over towards her, Lucy was frightened out of her wits.
" Levy needs clothes, she was sick yesterday because she got drunk," Lucy calmed down as she went with Lilly to Fairy Hills.
Levy had never felt so sore...
Her head was banging and she felt like she had been thrown all over the place, as she turned over sleepily, she hit her head on something hard. It was a smiling Gajeel! Never had Levy McGarden been so frightened in all of her life!
" Morning Shrimp..." He was topless! And she was naked well under a dressing gown... HOLY MAVIS, she thought.
" This is not my room..." Levy was flabbergasted.
" Yeah this is my room!" Gajeel smirked as Levy desperately tried to remember what happened last night.
" What happened last night?" Levy really hoped they didn't...
" You wanted to ride," Gajeel had to bite his lip when he saw Levy's face drop.
" Wait what?" Levy stuttered.
" You wanted to ride me! I'm not lying," Gajeel was smirking as Levy had tears falling down her face when Gajeel played the tape recording. " It was so good though Shrimp - you even summoned a whip for you to use," Gajeel pointed at the whip and showed Levy the scars all over his back, as Levy was traumatised.
" So was it a good first time?" Gajeel asked as Levy rolled out the bed, their was blood on the sheets... ( from Levy's knee.)
" I hate you Redfox!" Levy was just angry now, she wanted to kill him.
" Don't worry Lilly has sent Bunny-girl for your clothes," Lucy knew!
" So I get to pick your dare since I've seduced you hmm I've got to think about that one! I know you'll become my personal servant and do any command I want for the next month! I want you to start off with telling your two stalkers about your amazing ride with the redfox!" Levy was now seriously distressed as Gajeel passed her a cup of tea and some toast to calm her down.
Gajeel you meanie xD Poor Levy ;-; well Levy technically did say that she wanted Gajeel to be her boyfriend so it counts! BOYS VICTIM LIST - 1
I just realised that I'm a shipping machine, writing this story ;-; and the cruel reality is that Kinana and Cobra will never be together and Cobra will probably never return. I cried at that. YES I ADMIT I CRIED WHEN KINANA AND COBRA WERE REUNITED and then I was having an emotional breakdown when Cobra realised friends were a good thing to have. I'm probably going down with Cobrana.
But Gale I'm pretty sure even Mashima is going to make it happen :3 I think they are more likely to happen than Gray and Juvia because Gray pretty much isn't that interested in Juvia which is a little bit sad. But recently though they have had moments in the manga :) Gajeel and Levy do definitely have the hots for each other though! Go ride your horsey Levy ;)
Thanks for the favourites, reviews and follows it really means a lot :D
