Imagine getting tattooed and someone bellowing the open line to "Vision Thing" in the lobby...

Just a modern!AU where Gajeel and Levy own a piercing/tattoo shop together. Of course I had to make them gothy. Pretty proud of how Gajeel's deathrockesque look turned out and I'm quite happy how Levy turned out as well

Yeah, the girl getting tattooed singing "This Corrosion" with Gajeel is Juvia in her "HardRock" appearance. Yeah I purposefully gave Gajeel this weird pose so I wouldn't have to draw his hand. Yeah Gajeel looks like Patricia Morrison's and Jonny Slut's lovechild.

#gajevy #gale #gajeel redfox #levy mcgarden #juvia locksar #yeah Gajeel would be a huge Sisters of Mercy fan and be bellowing the lyrics to each & every song whenever hes not piercing folks #but also he'd love The Mission #of course overall a deathrocker and a fast paced gothrock enthusiast #sames for Juvia #as for Levy I'd imagine her more into gothrock and darkwave/coldwave/ethereal wave #feel free to expand on this lol #goth #oh and sorry for the shitty quality it's a phone pic *again*

plsplspls tell me about your thai shadow gear brain worms some more i wuv dem

UWAA... i will try my bestest .hehe. im so glad you like my thai sg brain worms...

Songkran-isms bc it makes sense

droy uses full buckets of water and it's fucking terrifying because he can absolutely lift all that and knock a bitch (jet) out if he so pleases

also has water backpack he carries around

jet dual wields water guns and likes chasing the tuk-tuks and busses and spray water in them

jet breakdances on the wet road and it really fucking hurts but also its so fun

jet loses his flip flops every year

levy doesn't really care what she uses but one year she did use an empty weed sprayer and still has phantom arm soreness

she pranks the boys by catching them with their guard down and dropping water in their pants

they do love driving around and do a splash drive buy, but they like walking the most

levy also does the most talcum powder applying tbh tbh

they get juvia in it <3 because obv

consider water rave festival au

lily.... stays at home.. jk he has perfect vantage point from above

gajeel thought he could be intimidating but there is no mercy...

Everything Else:

droy can do mean thai yell (you usually hear it during celebrations and the such, i can't explain it because I don't know the actual word for it but in this song the very first cry is what im talking about)

i don't even know if i can do a favorite dish they all like becuase i think they would like all of it lol... spice tolerance from most to least is droy, levy, jet

jet is a SLUT for thai ice cream sandwiches .. they're not like the american ice cream sandwiches btw, it's like ice cream in an actual bun with white bread or something

levy loves loves fish sauce and fruit. that boy loves tart shit ok guys. she gets like the underripe fruits and just eats that with salt, sugar, and pepper like it's nothign (she got gajeel hooked on it)

droy likes agar jellies and coconut rice .. heart..

jet has hella beef with this one thai auntie neighbor but no one can tell if it's genuine or like a secretly agreed on beef

khon masked dancer jet.

nang mai/rukkhadeva (ghost inhabiting a large tree) droy heh.. heh...

ive definitely said this but droy is a great luk thung (thai country) singer,

Songs Because I Can't Help It I LOVE MUSIC

droy and levy vibes tbh (tis also one of the iconic thai new years songs teehee)

jet new years song

jet and levy campy gay hostility

this isn't even major sg to me imi just in awe with how much i hate this song but also keep listneing to (if it sounds like a song talking about twerking, it is. and it's so . .. . /confused)

majorrrrr silly jet vibes (the song is about a scam caller getting pranked or something)

this song is like how i think jet and droy would "flirt" with levy in the way that it is a BIT and they are teasing gajeel, and its just silly (the song is silly and is basically hey girl have you eaten yet!!!!!)

#fairy tail #levy mcgarden #jet #droy #jet fairy tail #droy fairy tail #gajeel redfox #pantherlily #juvia locksar #she’s mentioned once …#headcanons #hc #hcs #onx rambles

Fanfiction: Gruvia drabble || a jealous gray

Since everyone seems to appreciate a jealous Gray fanfiction, I decided to do my part and contribute to the growing Gruvia fandom, cause who doesn’t LOVE a jealous Gray?! This is my first fairy tail fanfic but hopefully it will quench your thirst for Gruvia ;)

Natsu’s face flared as he watched Lucy snatch a full bottle of beer away from his scarred hands.

“No more, Natsu. You’re going to be a handful if you have another cup,” Lucy scolded. She pushed the beer across the smooth, wooden table towards Cana, who eagerly accepted the full bottle and pressed her lips to the orange liquid.

“This is why I love you,” she mumbled between gulps. Natsu’s eyes widened in shock as he watched his precious beer disappear within seconds.

“But Lucy-“ Natsu whined, “I just finished a difficult job!” He placed the back of his hand to his forehead, heaving a dramatic sigh. “I just wanted to have fun with everyone. Why are you doing this to me?” Lucy pressed her fingers against her temples. It was her turn to sigh.

“No. Natsu, no,” she snapped. Natsu sunk back into his chair and pouted. Lucy could barely contain a smile that was teasing her lips. Instead, she turned her attention to Gray who was seated directly across from her.

“Gray?” Lucy raised an eyebrow as she watched Gray’s unusual distance from the group. “Gray!”

The raven-haired mage whirled his head to face her, his eyes alert. “What’s wrong?”

Lucy beckoned to Natsu, who was now banging the table aggressively and tugging at Lucy’s arm whilst pointing to Cana, who engulfed another bottle of beer. “This. He isn’t behaving today,” she groaned. “What exactly did you do during the job?” The blonde found herself talking to air as Gray’s eyes had sidetracked back to the crowd. Lucy frowned and decided to look in the same direction as Gray.

Through the colourful ocean of Fairy Tail guild members, standing near the entrance was Juvia. Her cerulean blue hair roamed along her shoulders and fell just above her back. She wore her usual navy blue dress and her hands were nervously entwined together. Her ecstatic demeanor was replaced with anxiety which Lucy found peculiar. That was when she noticed an unknown man who hovered in front of her. His eyes occasionally wondered to her lips, her well hidden chest, then her hands, which he attempted to grab at.

Juvia took a step back, waving her hand away nervously. Lucy couldn’t make out what she was saying but it was obvious that she was uncomfortable. The man, however, became persistent, as he seized Juvia’s shoulders between his chubby fingers.

Lucy immediately stood up, feeling defensive for her friend but Gray beat her to it, already at his feet and storming over.

“Juvia’s in a hurry right now so she can’t-“ the water mage was interrupted by the man who gazed at her under his thick eyelashes. “I’m sure it’ll only be a minute. Just give me the chance, please?”

Before Juvia could reply, the stranger started to pull at her arm harshly, trying to lead her out the door. Before Juvia could resist the foreign touch against her back, his hands were shoved away violently and she felt a strong arm firmly wrapped around her waist.

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”

Gray’s aggravated voice sent chills down the man’s spine but it was the very deep voice which Juvia found comforting.

“I-I was just trying to-“

Gray furrowed his eyebrows and tightened his grip around the frightened girl, who snuck a quick glance at Gray. “Whatever you’re doing doesn’t concern me or her, so scram.”

“Who do you think you are?” the man snarled. He tossed away a strand of stray hair that escaped from his gelled up-do and puffed up his chest, attempting to assert dominance. “I’m sure this lovely lady here wouldn’t like a rough man like you as company.”

Gray’s frown deepened as he watched the man shoot him a victorious smirk.

“Like I give a damn about her preferences. She’s belongs to me, you understand? She’s fucking mine.”

The stranger’s confidence immediately evaporated as he felt Gray’s murderous glare and sent Juvia a look, to which Gray growled at.

“Goodbye, I’ll see you around,” he nodded quickly in Juvia’s direction.

“No one’s seeing anyone around,” Gray barked. “The exit’s behind you, now see yourself out before I send you flying.”

The man eventually decided to leave and the moment he did, Gray’s warm hold left Juvia’s waist, to Juvia’s disappointment. He crossed his arms across his chest, shooting a disapproving look at Juvia. She peeked at him under her long eyelashes. “Gray-sama?” she whispered. “Are you-“

Gray interrupted her. “Of course I’m mad, Juvia. What did you think you were doing? Why didn’t you do anything?” Gray pushed a hand through his pitch black hair and groaned in frustration.

Juvia couldn’t help but grin, watching Gray getting jealous made her delighted, as she was glad it wasn’t just her fuming over any potential love rivals.

“Gray-sama...” she paused. She was hesitant at first but curiosity got the best of her. “Are you jealous?”

Gray’s eyes widened for a slight second and Juvia could see a faint blush form on his cheeks.

“Of course not, don’t be stupid,” he grumbled. Gray continued to brush down his hair, attempting to hide his face which was now burning red as Juvia glimpsed up at him with her sapphire blue eyes. “Are you really not jealous?”

“N-no,” Gray grunted. He was losing his composure.

Juvia finally let it go and revealed a set of gleaming white teeth. “In any case, Juvia’s really thankful for what Gray-sama did.”

Gray couldn’t take his eyes off the girl now, his dark pupils scanned her up and down. He couldn’t seem to get enough of her. He wanted to see every part of her, touch every part of her. He needed her right now. Gray almost lost it. His mind was conjuring outrageous fantasies about the innocent girl that stood in front of him, for which he felt guilty for. He could feel his blood boil as the thought of another man touching her entered his mind. Holding back his every muscle from exploring her at this very moment, he let out a huff before whirling back to the table where Lucy had watched from, a playful smile lingering at her lips.

“We should go back now. The others are waiting,” he muttered.

“Okay, Gray-sama!”

Gray’s heart squeezed as Juvia linked her arm through his. Even through the thick fabric of her dress, Gray could already feel how soft and supple her skin was going to be against his rough one. Her delicate voice echoed through Gray’s ears and he could feel her breath tickle his neck as she spoke.

“Juvia wanted to let you know about a job that man had just offered me,” she rambled. “He seems a bit suspicious but he’s a photographer and he was wondering if Juvia could substitute for an absent model.”

Gray immediately faced Juvia, his eyes darkening again. “Do you want my opinion on this job?”

Juvia’s eyes widened, but she quickly nodded.

“No.” Gray narrowed his eyes. “My answer is no, and it will always be no. You are not allowed to go near guys like that again.”

Heck, Gray wanted to keep her away from all guys but he knew by telling her to do that would be unreasonable. He was willing to compromise.

“Alright, Juvia understands.”

“Good,” he grumbled back. He frowned at Juvia’s curious stare. She opened her mouth to speak, but Gray instantly realised what she was about to ask. With a scowl and a sigh he answered,

“No. I am not jealous, Juvia.”

Beautifully Deadly (NaLu) #6

Chapter 6

Vampire/Supernatural AU

Rating: M

Summary: "Supposedly an entire kingdom disappeared when their queen went beyond the borders, remember?" When Natsu Dragneel leaves the kingdom to investigate mysterious disappearances, he finds a much bigger adventure than he was bargaining for, including a beautiful vampire hidden away in an ancient castle. She has little to say about her past, or why she's locked away. Who did this to her? What has she been feeding on? One thing Natsu knows for sure that she is dangerous... Could she have something to do with the disappearances? "I'm sorry, Natsu, but I'm just so thirsty."

Chapters: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7

Read it on: AO3 & FF.net

AN: Hello! so this chapter ended up being cut a bit short- just because there was too much I wanted to cram in and ended up deciding (to avoid waffling in this chapter!) that all the other things can wait until later. Thanks to that, this chapter is a little bit shorter than the last one! I hope you all still enjoy, and let me know what you think!

As always, shout out to my Betas @mannyegb and @bmarvels !

Review shoutouts! to: KatanaNoNeko, NaluGrey, KJacket, YunaYue, takeagamble27, MadisonMikazuki, Delightfulxxx, ChaosreigN

Thank you!!

There are certain beings within this universe that choose to remain anonymous. Some have existed as long as time and fallen to obscurity.

One individual prefers to be this way, it makes his work much easier. It helps him avoid awkward situations. Before, when his existence had been caught wind of, he found himself approached with requests about fate. Some asked when their time would be, others asked what the cost would be to avoid ever meeting him again.

They called him Death. He was the very first Reaper. He had a name, reserved only for the few that truly piqued his interest. One such in particular was a blonde woman, tainted by a cursed existence which should not have been hers to bear. She had not sensed what he was, or maybe she just did not care.

He had been perplexed by her. His dark onyx eyes had observed her with curiosity. She had been in a rush, he had dryly joked 'in a rush to meet your death’. The woman had held his gaze with honey gold eyes, and for an instant, he felt that desire in her. That desire to escape.

So, he gave her aid. He pointed her in the direction of shelter. Offered her… provisions of a certain kind. She reluctantly accepted, though never asked where he had gotten them.

Now, he wondered how she was, his mind absently wandering. He had not felt the tug of her soul, beckoning him to take her to the other side. Perhaps she would still be in her shelter.

How long would she survive without feeding, he wondered. Would she ever truly understand what this fate was that had fallen upon her?

He recalled their last meeting, unbidden. She had stood before him, her fists trembling at her sides. Her eyes bleeding crimson, drowning in darkened shadows. She was desperate.

'Please.’

He understood what she was asking. He reached into his dark robes, presenting a pail to her. She took it with greedy hands.

'You should follow your heart’ his advice slipped out. She reminded him of another blonde he had known, so very long ago. The deep recesses of his heart ached at the sorrow and pain on her features. He could at least offer her some salvation. He decided then, as she met his gaze unafraid, to gift her his name.

'You can call me Zeref.’

Lucy began to descend the stairwell, intending to get a basin of clean water for the blue feline. The cat himself purred happily in her arms and rubbing his wet fur against her. She wrinkled her nose.

‘Just what kind of trouble did you get yourself into before finding me?’ She asked. He meowed at her again and raised his paw to lick it clean. He smelled bad. The odour from his cerulean fur was like putrid fish and pond-weed.

Lucy hoped that she still had some of her good soap leaves left over to cleanse his stench. She really did have to ponder what he had done to find himself so damp and smelly.

The small blue cat, however, was already plotting his next escapade with the strange fish lady.

Juvia, meanwhile, was not having such a good evening.

She had only returned to her waters the day prior, and the weather had been most unpleasant, though for once that was not by her doing. The dusklight earlier had been irresistible as it shone on the lake’s surface. She had indulged herself, lazily paddling and creating ripples across the surface, flicking her tail languidly to create waves. She had sighed, closing her eyes and floating through the water.

What she had not expected, however, was the almighty chomp of teeth on her teal-scaled tail. She had squawked her displeasure, her leisurely swim disrupted. Her eyes snapped open as her torso dropped below the surface, her perfect balance ruined. Her tail flailed ungracefully above water, the biter temporarily dislodged. She glared, bursting above the surface once more to give the cretin a piece of her mind!

She whipped her head around, azure locks flicking over her shoulder. She had heard what she swore was giggling above her. Her head snapped up. A blue-furred cat floated on fluffy white wings, he held paws over his mouth, his eyes were wide and watching her like she was his next meal.

‘I am not dinner!’ She exclaimed, her face burning red with anger. She yelped when the cat flew at her again with his mouth wide. The mermaid had ducked, and eyes flashing blue, heaved her tail, and hurled an enormous portion of water towards the cat instead.

That had been that. Her assailant had yowled his displeasure and shook out his wings before hissing and fleeing.

Now, Juvia remained sour-faced, floating on her back. There was a large crescent shape left behind on her otherwise pristine scales.

She sighed, still frustrated about having her pleasant night disrupted. Gazing at the darkening sky, she could see the waning crescent moon. Although not a full moon, it still entranced her. She felt eased into calmness and opened her mouth to sing.

Singing was always her solace when she felt upset. Tonight was no different.

Further away, unbeknown to Juvia, a man had caught a glimpse of blue descending the sky and grinned to himself. He had to be on the right track. He continued his course in the direction of the lake, frost crackling underfoot.

The Fire Dragon King was observing the Titania at work. He couldn't decide if he was watching meticulous planning or organised chaos unfold before him. But the distress on the Valkyries’ face was clear.

Gray had flown the coop. A day or two ago in fact. All of her plans had been thrown into disarray and she needed to reconvene. As such, her troops were stuck in limbo.

Erza had needed him here. Sure, part of it was to stop his magic destabilising further. But his command over ice would have been essential to protect the kingdom. She had to change her plans.

As such, before her stood Lyon Vastia and Ultear Milkovich. They were both close with Gray; Lyon had been apprenticed to Ur alongside him and Ultear was Ur's daughter. As such, the 3 of them were like family. They had certainly mourned for Ur together.

Erza studied the two of them carefully. Like Gray, they were gifted with the Ice Element. Lyon was a Yeti, his mop of snowy white hair and piercing eyes giving him away, despite using his magic to appear human-shaped. His ice magic worked with nature itself, allowing him to form ice that looked like other creatures and behaved as though alive. He had sought Ur out to train him to be stronger when he was just a small boy.

Her violet orbs drifted over to Ultear, who stood with a shoulder towards the Red-head. Her skin was pale, white enough to camouflage her with snow, if not for her ebony dark hair.

She was a rare creature known as a Yuki-Onna, a Snow Girl. She was usually a recluse, often omitting her presence at the castle in favour of the written word. She had always had a strong affinity with the Ice Element, her mother had been a Khione, daughter to the North Wind, and Deity of Snow.

Ultear's state of being was partially her inheritance of the ice element but she ultimately had her awakening as a Yuki-Onna after almost losing her life to the cold. As a young child, she had been foolish, venturing out into a snowstorm and had fallen dreadfully ill. Ur had used her powers, smiling as she accepted this fate, and taken the cold threatening her daughters’ life into her own body.

Ultear would always remember the dark-haired man, how he smiled gently at her, his presence ethereal, time stopping all around them both. The way his onyx eyes met her sadly, she was so young.

Then suddenly he was fading from view, time sluggishly restarting around her. He smiled at her again, this time with warmth. He turned away from her, leaving her arc of time as a parting gift.

She regained consciousness soon after to Ur’s loving smile, brushing the hair from her face. She understood years later her mother's sacrifice. By taking that cold into her body, it had slowly begun to freeze her from the inside. It seemed ironic, Ultear thought, that her mother was killed by the same element that she had mastered.

Her piercing crimson eyes opened, and she turned to face the armour-clad Valkyrie regarding her. She held the woman in high mutual respect and currently shared her irritation with a certain ice demon.

Ultear, temporarily foregoing her irritation, decided to get to the point, ‘What do you need me to do, Titania?’

Erza nodded, silently agreeing they could get mad at Gray later. ‘I normally wouldn’t ask this of you, Ultear. I know how you prefer your solitude, and your charms have always proved invaluable. But right now, I need you as close to the perimeter as possible. You have mastery over ice that we have not known since Ur was still with us. I need you to build ice walls if you see any hostiles approaching, and if you have to, freeze them with your ice, or Arc of Time. Just keep them out.’ Erza instructed and Ultear thought for a moment, before nodding once.

Erza turned to the sullen Yeti beside the Yuki-Onna. ‘Lyon.’ He made a noise, signalling she had his attention.

‘Your frozen beasts are perfect for patrolling. Keep them divided if you can manage, but position some at the weak points of the border, and reserve some for the palace.’

‘Yes, Captain.’ He said in a low voice and she dismissed them both with a smile of thanks.

Igneel still remained atop the stairs overlooking the exchange, his hands clasped behind his back. Deep lines of worry were drawn across his face. His ears twitched when he heard heavy footfalls approaching.

His features relaxed into a smirk, ‘Metallicana, It's not very often you join me up here.’ He turned towards his companion, holding out a hand in greeting.

Metallicana boomed a short laugh, clasping his hand warmly and slapping his shoulder. The man was decked out in studded leather, with several piercings adoring his features. He had salt-and-pepper coloured hair, which pointed wildly in several directions. He was a Dragon, similar to Igneel, but unlike him, Metallicana was not a pureblood nor a Drake.

‘Igneel! I wanted to make sure you were keeping busy!’ His voice was gravelly as he spoke, ‘I did wonder if you had any updates about my Son.’ he finished in a quieter voice.

Gajeel was still considered part of the nest, even though he had taken his Mother’s wolf heritage. The draconic blood in him was still prevalent in his unusual diet of raw iron.

Metallicana missed him dreadfully. He had also come to speak to Igneel to offer words of empathy. After all, Natsu had gone now too.

The Fire Dragon King sighed heavily. ‘I’m afraid not, old friend. I suppose Natsu wanted to go after him.’

The iron-studded man closed his eyes and sighed softly, musing. He squeezed Igneel’s shoulder in his hand and opened his eyes again to meet his gaze.

‘I am sure they’ll return when they’re ready. Though, that may take longer than either of us hope.’

Igneel nodded. They had to believe that.

His attention was stolen by insistent, frustrated mewling. He titled his head, searching for the cause of the noise. Metallicana raised a studded eyebrow, his features perplexed and leaned sideways to peer around the King.

A small white cat was hissing furiously, spitting and screeching as she leapt around one of the wagons. She batted and slashed her claws on the tarpaulin covering the cart.

Igneel watched the cat with knowing eyes, a feeling of conflict bubbling in his chest. He didn’t have long to ponder though, as Metallicana asked ‘Isn’t that Carla?’ rubbing his chin, ‘She’s always with Grandeeny’s daughter, Wendy, right?’

Igneel rumbled a ‘Yes’, under his breath, already moving to step towards the irritated cat. Carla was still hissing vehemently when Igneel reached her. The snowy cat startled, fluffy wings bursting from her back and she leapt upwards, turning to face him as she did.

Carla meowed loudly in his face and fluttered down, rubbing herself along his leg. He crouched to scratch her gently behind her ear, he flicked his gaze upwards to the cart.

‘You can come out now, Wendy.’

A small whine came from the back of the wagon and the tarpaulin shifted slightly. Shocking blue hair framed her face, large chocolate coloured eyes looking owlishly out at him. Carla yowled indignantly, Wendy raising a hand apologetically, silently begging her to be quiet.

Igneel kept his voice low, hoping to soothe the girl, ‘Your mother would be worried if she knew you were out here. She's making medical drafts with your Aunt Porlyusica. Why don’t you go find her? I'm sure they could use your help.’

She gnawed on her lower lip, briefly averting her gaze and glancing back at him, nodding shyly. He offered her his hand, helping her out the wagon.

The iron dragon watched with bemusement, catching the young girl’s eye when she was back on solid ground, chuckling as she flushed with embarrassment and jogged towards the castle, Carla hot on her heels.

‘She’s certainly free-spirited.’ Metallicana chuckled, his eyes following her retreating form. 'But then, Wyverns always are.’

Igneel cocked his head at the other man, and with a half-shrug responded with

‘They’re both still Draconic, and as such valuable to the nest’ he smiled and gestured towards Erza. 'I need to speak with her, but I shall meet you in the study after.’

Metallicana returned his smile, and with a nod and wave, he returned to the castle.

Igneel breathed deep, his attention turning towards the Valkyrie. He wanted to know her plan of action, and gift to her the lacrima he'd been holding onto.

It was a simplified communication lacrima, part of a pair, and could not be detected by other lacrimas of the same variety. The pair specialised in exchanging data on the others’ environments and the respective holder's thoughts and feelings, including magic energy transfers. Essentially, Igneel could scout and aid them from the castle.

He approached her and cleared his throat.

Elsewhere, Jellal was becoming anxious. He was sealed in a guest room at Avatar, and whilst he'd been told he could move freely, he knew that wasn't the case. His magic was pulsating within him, fluctuating with his temperament, and purposefully reminding those nearby of his power.

It was also acting as a sonar, alerting him who was in close proximity. He needed to concentrate. Jellal Perched himself on the bed, elbows on his knees, resting his chin behind interlaced fingers. He sought out the bond between him and Erza, the one created when he first began to watch over her as a guide; the same magical bond that altered dramatically when the two of them became lovers. It was like feeling along an invisible thread, and gazing through a keyhole at the other side. He could sense her alertness. Igneel had gifted her something, he noted, feeling the orb shape in her hands. She was tilting her head now, feeling him tugging on that thread. He could see her in his mind’s eye, fuzzy, but becoming clearer the more he focused on her.

Her beautiful scarlet hair whipped around her face, her sharp eyes scanning her immediate vicinity. He could have gazed into those pools of violet until the end of his days if she’d have only let him. Those eyes settled, seemingly meeting his own.

The Angel smiled softly at her, his fingers unconsciously moved to stroke her cheek, as if he were truly with her. Her own usually stern expression softened, his name falling from her lips.

‘I don’t have much time. You can find our location here.’

He had always found this method of communication unusual. It wasn’t quite telepathy. It was something akin to a data transfer, he supposed. He made sure she knew his location, how he’d found it and even the coordinates he’d memorised earlier.

Suddenly, his magic spiked violently. His image of her face rippled. She nodded in understanding. He wanted to reach for her. She knew. Instead, he simply whispered ‘I love you’ and abruptly severed their connection.

Mentally realigning himself always felt like awakening from a dream. It was disorienting to say the least. But Jellal was used to the strange sensation. His magic demanded attention for more urgent matters.

His cyan coloured eyes snapped open and swept to the door. His magic was reacting furiously. Someone was approaching. He tilted his head back, sitting up and straightening his shoulders. His eyes narrowed. He urged his magic into a calmer state. He allowed it to still spill from his person, as though it was lurking just beneath the surface.

Jellal could sense the approaching hostility. It seemed he’d failed to avoid raising suspicion. There was a knock on the door.0
