Who Wants To Be A Mentor? (A Fairy Tail One Shot)

Complicated Relationsips

It was a normal, bustling day at the fairy tail guild. Gray and Natsu were arguing over locations for something nobody seemed to catch, Erza was happily eating cake at the bad with Mira, Romeo was attempting to support his mentor in his argument and Lucy was happily striking up a conversion about books with Levy. Everything was normal and cheery, even Carla and Happy seemed to be getting along, yet something was off. To put it more accurately; someone was off.

Wendy sat at her usual table, staring down at her communication lacrima. That was practically normal but what wasn't was the gloomy aura surrounding her. Nobody had seemed to notice the petite bluenette or the dark aura surrounding her just yet. It seemed to be just small enough to surround her thinly but that didn't last long.

"Ha! See Gray! I told you the movies would be better then some dumb restaurant! High five Romeo!" Natsu cheered as he 'won' the argument against Gray, holding his hand up for a high five from his little fire Mage teammate. As soon as their hands came in contact. Their identical grins ever present, Wendy's aura grew at a unimaginable speed. Anyone within so much as ten paces of her could feel her gloom. It was almost as bad as Juvia when she was upset. Speaking of wich the Rain Woman and Celestial Mage of Fairy Tail shared a look from their seperate tables and were the first in the aura to stand and approach the Sky Maiden. Everyone else that could feel it simply stared at her in confusion and fear of the guild's smallest dragon slayer.

Juvia and Lucy slid into places either side of Wendy and peered at her, confident they should be doing something but unsure wether they should speak. Juvia was the first to be so bold.
"Wendy-san? Are you alright?" She glanced over at the girls lacrima and saw Chelia's contact showing "Did Chelia-san and Wendy-san have a fall out?"

Wendy made no effort to respond. She just glared at nothingness. Needless to say the attitude was unusual for her as she'd normally burst into tears when upset and wine if she ever felt unsettled. She was never pissed off.

Lucy looked around to try and see what could be upsetting her so much. The atmosphere of Fairy Tail was the same and Wendy normally enjoyed that. The loudness couldn't be the thing getting to her as even the thunder gloom at the back were having small quiet conversation, well Evergreen and Bixlow were while Freed read quietly and Laxus watched his first in command silently. Thinking about it the loudest thing in the guild was the argument between Gray, Natsu and Romeo.

Lucy looked between the boys, who had been reduced to whispers due to the little girls gloom, and Wendy herself. They seemed to be the main focus of her glare or rather a third of her focus. The other thirds seemed to be on her lacrima and on something Lucy couldn't quite pick out.
"What did they do Wendy? are those idiots getting on your nerves?" She pointed at the rivals, earning a annoyed 'HEY' from both of them. Wendy finally responder with a little shake of her head

"No. Kind of. Natsu and Romeo."

The mentor and protégée duo burst into a string of upsets retorts to the girls words. They were simply ignored though as the couple continued their attempt to lower Wendy's gloom.
"Are Natsu and Romeo being too loud? You know it's just them getting along Wendy" Lucy reasoned and carefully rubbed the girls back. She was given a shake of the head in reply once again. Juvia and Lucy glanced worriedly at each other.

"Wendy-san, Juvia and Lucy-sama can't help Wendy-san if Wendy-san doesn't tell Juvia and Lucy-sama all of what's wrong."
Lucy blushed a little at the 'sama' honorific being used for her by Juvia. She had awarded her with it shortly after after they started dating yet still wasn't used to it.

Wendy sighed, her gloom decreasing ever so slightly as she chose to console in the two women.
"It's just-...Romeo has Natsu as a mentor, Chelia-senpi has Shellya and even Aska has Alzak and Biska! I'm the only child Mage without a mentor! It's just really annoying me! It's like I'm the odd one out!"
