BlackLynx17: I'm really tired right now... I think I'm about to go to the movies and see Ant Man... which I kind of think is stupid, but hey I don't judge a book by its cover. If I see it I'll tell you all in the next chapter if it really was stupid or not.


Edolas.

Chapter 2.


I always seem to forget that sleeping over Wendy's home, or just sleeping with Wendy period, is always a bad thing. She moves around in her sleep, which wouldn't be that bad, but Charlie scratches in hers making it a tag-team combination of the worse sleep ever. Currently she had her foot against my cheek, her arms hugging one of my legs while Charlie's tail strangled the other one. There were black bags under my eyes, I was sure of it since I couldn't sleep a wink with her tossing, turning, and occasionally dragon growling.

Her big toe dug deeper into my cheek and I turned to bite it. She flinched and moved her toes away, finally. Why didn't I do that sooner? I lost the feelings in my legs a long time ago and she wasn't snoring at all right now. Maybe I could finally rest? I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, relaxing against the bed.

She started moving in her sleep, slowly at first; I knew it was enough to tell me she was waking up though. I felt the bed start to shift as she leaned up, the bed bouncing a bit as she turned around, then sinking again as she laid right down next to me. She was staring right at me, I could feel her soft breath against my face telling me that she was. Slowly I turned my head towards her and cracked open an eye; she was smiling brightly and leaned over to lick my cheek.

"Good morning sleepy head."

I closed my eyes back and turned my head; she pounced on me and licked my cheek again.

"I said good morning." She pouted.

"Wendy, I'm tired."

"But it's morning."

"You say it like it matters, good night." I told her.

Her breathing changed and the pressure on my chest left. Soon after the tail wrapped around my foot disappeared and I heard pitter patter, a door opening, then a door closing right after. I was too tired to feel bad, I'll make it up to her when I wake up again. Until then I sprawled out all over her bed and buried my face into her pillow.

...

It smells like her.


The second time I woke up it was dead quiet in the apartment. I don't think I was fully awake so I just laid there in the bed for an extra fifteen minutes before I realized sleep was not about to come back to me. I leaned up and off the bed, scratching the back of my head as my feet touched the ground. I didn't spot Wendy or Charlie anywhere in the room.

"Wendy?" I called out finally getting up.

My head started throbbing and I paused for a minute; I got up to fast. When the headache stopped i started searching around the apartment, but didn't find her anywhere. There wasn't even a note or anything in the room or on the door... uh oh. I really must have messed something up to her, but what? We made up last night about the argument yesterday... I spent the night... did something happen this morning though? I don't think so, or at least, I don't remember doing so.

"Ugh." I groaned running my hands through my hair.

The sooner I meet her the sooner we can make up, I desperately need a shower though after last night. I feel like I have something sticky on my cheek; I'm pretty sure she licked me this morning, that I remember. When I walked in the bathroom and saw the dry saliva on my cheeks I knew she had. Dating a dragon slayer was so much stranger than dating normal humans. I thought it was only me, but Lucy asked me if Wendy acted the same as Natsu did and I knew she shared my pain. Even if a lick meant love and affection like a dog would lick their master, it was cute and nasty at the same time.

Taking a quick shower, I started going through the cabinets for my toiletries. She's made me stay over her apartment so many times I practically live here, it being such a hassle before when I used to stay over and have to return to my own apartment to get ready for the day. Half of all my things were here, including a toothbrush and my clothes as I brushed my teeth and got dressed. I combed my hair a bit before teleporting into the kitchen for a quick bite to eat.

There was a a plate of food on her table wrapped in foil. There was nothing written on it, but I knew it was for me and smiled lightly. So maybe she wasn't as angry as I thought. The toast had a bite on it and the eggs were half eaten...

She was mad.

"Alright Doranbolt, how are you going to make up for this one?"


I stood outside of the guild, wondering if I could go in or not. She told me not to see her anymore, she wasn't being serious though was she? Not seeing her meant not going to the guild and if I didn't go to the guild then how was I supposed to hang out with everyone and get missions? She was playing. I know she wasn't, I just told myself she was though so I would walk in the guild. As soon as people spotted me the conversations died and all eyes went on me.

I sighed and pinched the bridge between my eyes.

"What did she do?"

"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Wendy screamed from across the guild.

I looked over and spotted her sitting near two Lucy's, two Erza's, and two Levy's all the way across the guild. I looked over at the other side and spotted her Edolas-self sitting next to about half of the male population of the guild with only two or three girls. Something started bubbling in my stomach and I knew it was jealousy, that wasn't my Wendy though. I shouldn't be feeling anything at all... but she was still Wendy all the same and that Wendy met my eyes and winked at me.

It sounded like a bear that has been deprived of food for months.

"Do-ran-bolt." Wendy growled slowly.

The guild groaned as I started sweating, already knowing that the worst was about to come by the dragon growls that escaped her throat. I was in trouble. Natsu and Gajeel started walking over to me and I didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. They grabbed a hold of my shoulders and dragged me outside of our guild, shutting the large downs behind us.

"Listen Doranbolt, you need to stay away from Edolas Wendy for forever... alright?" Natsu said.

"Wha-"

"Period." Gajeel said.

"I'm sure you've seen jealous women, a jealous dragon slayer though is a completely different story, especially one that hasn't hit puberty yet. I'm talking about she's not only going to kill you, but her double as well."

"I love her though!"

"Levy tells that to me all the time, I still get jealous though whenever her old teammates get too close to her. We weird and crazy, we know, and we can't explain it; it's just a dragon claiming thing. Mates are for life for dragons so we try our hardest to protect what's ours." Gajeel explained.

I felt my heart accelerate hearing that, although I already knew about it. Wendy told me when she first told me she loved me that she knew we were mates and that she would always love and be with me. It really did something to a man's confidence knowing that our woman was never going to leave us. Even if we broke up, though I would never break up with her, she'd always stay with me and make me fall back in love with her all over again. We were simply destined to be together.

"But Edolas Wendy-"

"Who is more important, a Wendy you've never met or the Wendy you love and would die for?"

I took a deep breath and sighed, "my Wendy."

"Good, then go make your Wendy happy, because if you don't we're going to kick your ass as soon as she's done eating you up and spitting you back out." Gajeel smirked as he patted my back.

I rolled my eyes and shoved him off me.

"Good talk, now wait here and I'll get Wendy. You should have seen her this morning, she walked straight up to her Edolas-self and apologized for yesterday."

Gajeel chuckled, "then she threaten her in the sweetest voice ever that if she ever kissed you or even looked at you she would ripped her limb from limb."

I shivered, along with Natsu. Yeah, that must have not been pleasant to hear or watch.

"She really said that?" I asked.

"Yeah man, it was so scary; she was exactly like a mini Erza. Edolas Wendy shrugged it off, no reason for her to be scared of herself I guess. Everyone else was fazed which is why we were all scared when you walked in. We were just waiting Wendy to pounce so we could stop her."

"Anyway, we're be right back. Stay right here and remember to stay away from Edolas Wendy." Gajeel said pointing a finger at me.

I raised an eyebrow as I watched him point to the ground then at me again before he turned and went back into the guild with Natsu. I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck as I stared up into the sky, waiting for my mini girlfriend to come out.

"Unhand me!" Wendy screamed.

I turned around and saw Natsu and Gajeel just toss Wendy at me. My eyes widened as I quickly tried to catch her in my arms, taking a step back as she fell into them.

"I'm going to hurt you Natsu! Gajeel!" She growled.

"Stay away from the guild until our Edolas-selves leave Wendy, we don't want blood spilling in our guild." Natsu said.

"Yeah, Natsu and I already spill enough blood. Remember our conversation Doranbolt." Gajeel said before the two of them closed the door.

I stared at the closed door then at Wendy in my arms, who was growling and glaring at the door before she looked up at me and frowned, pushing me off. She landed on her feet and I simply stared at her.

"What is with you?" I asked.

She gave me a look before sighing out. "I don't know okay? I just feel... strange when she's around you... or when I'm around her... or just thinking about her."

"Well don't, because I love you Wendy."

She twitched and looked behind her shoulder, a small pout on her face.

"I saw her wink at you."

"Did you see me look back at you?"

She pouted bigger and took a step closer to me.

"You were very grumpy at me this morning."

"Well you had your foot in my mouth all night so can you blame me?"

She giggled lightly before she caught herself and took a step closer. She was like a scared kitten walking over to a person who had a hand full of cat food. I smiled at her and held out my hand. She looked down at it before looking back up at me.

"How long did you stare at her?"

"Wendy-"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Wendy sighed and dug in her purse for a folded piece of paper.

"I got us a mission; a break might help clear my head and I think you need a reminder on whose boyfriend you are."

I tried to reach for it, but she hid it behind her back out of my reach as she shook a finger at me.

"Ah, ah, ah. It's a surprise." She grinned.

"As long as it's not like our previous mission to the Sunshine Village then I'm fine." I mumbled walking off.

"What?! You didn't like the island of sunshine?! Everyone was so nice there!" She complained grabbing a hold of my arm.

"That island was nice, dressing up in drag and doing the hula was not though."

She started giggling, "come on Doranbolt! That was fun!"

"For you." I mumbled staring down at her laughing form.

I looked behind us for a split second and spotted blue hair flying in the wind. Edolas Wendy was standing near the window, I couldn't tell if she was smiling or not but she was clearly waving a hand at me. I turned back around and wrapped my arm around Wendy's waist.

I really needed to convince Wendy during this trip that I only love her because this was getting ridiculous. I wanted to know about the other world and see how everyone's Edolas-selves were different from their true-selves now, I wanted to meet the man, Mystogun, who saved Wendy's life... I wanted to know Edolas Wendy too and why she looked the way she did when she first saw me. I think I was getting ahead of myself though, so I stuck with a smaller goal.

Convincing Wendy to let me at least be in the same room as the girl.
