A/N: This is my first Laxeel Fanfic please be nice!

Gajeel has been in love with his best friend Bixlow for the longest time ever. They'd known each other ever since they were in elementary school. In this world there are persons born as Dragon Slayers who will make big changes either good or bad. Since Gajeel was young he always felt a strong connection to Bixlow and obviously believes that he is his mate.

Gajeel was following him in the hallway between classes because he had been looking for Freed. Gajeel had moved away for two years during middle school and during that time, when he attend Phantom Lord middle school, his best friend had fallen in love. Naturally Gajeel was heart broken when he found out and he promised to support his friend, as his friend.

"Where could he be?" Bixlow asked Gajeel.

The answer was as clear as day, he was obviously where Laxus was. Everyone at school knew that Freed had a major crush on Laxus, including Bixlow, except for the guy himself. It was like Laxus was oblivious the guy's obvious feelings.

Laxus had been sitting under a tree on the school compound, he wasn't alone, he was surrounded by a lot of lovey-dovey couples. Apparently this part of the school was where the school's couples came to be couples.

There were so many. Jellal and Erza, Lyon and Juvia, Lucy and Levy, Natsu and Gray, Elfman and Evergreen, Lisanna and Rouge, Minerva and Sting then finally Wendy and Mest. Laxus felt the constant stare of two beady eyes that belonged to none other than Freed Justine. He knew that the guy had been stalking him for a few years now, but didn't understand why.

Laxus didn't have time to worry about insignificant details. He was already busy as it is. A first year at his school who'd recently transferred had definitely caught his attention. At that moment, the transfer student walked up to Freed following Bixlow. Laxus eyes followed his every moment. Laxus knew he was also a dragon slayer, because they have a unique scent. He also knew that he was his mate. The first day he passed him in the hall he'd smelled a particular way. Really sweet.

At that moment he expected him to turn and realize that Laxus was his mate but he didn't seem to notice. As time passed Laxus noticed that he was always with an upper classman. He probably had a strong feeling for him, that was blocking his senses.

Laxus just wants to get him away from that guy for a while so he would realize that he was his mate. It was an impossible task that he'd have to try and accomplish.

He had impressive hearing and could distinctively make out their conversation.

Gajeel felt awkward so he stepped back a little to give them privacy but he could still hear so he took out his phone to play 'Best Fiends'.

"Hey Freed. You want to go to get drinks with me after school today?" Bixlow nervously asked while scratching the back of his head.

"If I have time sure."

"Really?" Bixlow asked surprised.
Freed nodded. When Freed noticed that he'd like him, he figured if things don't work out with Laxus he might as well use Bixlow as a rebound.

After Bixlow got his answer he cheered while a sadden Gajeel stood in the background. Laxus saw his expression and only wanted to comfort his mate and beat the shit out of that Bixlow guy.

How could he not notice the way Gajeel looked at him? Or the fact that he was always by his side?

This just pissed Laxus off more than he already was. Today was the day he'd finally get Gajeel to accept him.

After school Bixlow and Freed actually went to the cafe down the street leaving a heart broken Gajeel behind. Laxus however saw this as an opportunity.

"Laxus-nii! You should stop coming out to the field by yourself. You know it's couple corner and you being there by yourself really annoys people," Lucy told him.

Lucy was his adopted sister. When her parents died in an accident, Laxus' grandfather took her in and then decided to permanently make her a family member after they couldn't find any information about her relatives.

"I can be wherever I want to be. It's gramps' school anyways I can do what I want." He closed his locker door and walked away. Lucy made a 'hmph' sound and then stamped away. Acting like a spoiled brat.

It was raining when Laxus stepped out the school building. He didn't have an umbrella and he wasn't psyched about running through the rain either.

"Excuse. Do you want to share my umbrella?" he heard a voice ask. Laxus turned to be faced with none other than Gajeel himself. Things were falling into place.

"Thanks," he replied. Then Laxus took the umbrella since he was the taller of the two. "Let's go."

They were almost at the subway station when the rain started to fall heavier and the umbrella wasn't cutting it. They took shelter under an abandoned bus stop. No one was in the area, neither were any cars. It was just them.

Gajeel started to feel tired and unconsciously leaned his head against Laxus' shoulder. Laxus didn't mind. It actually made him feel warm inside.

After a while the rain subsided and the sun came out. Laxus shook the sleeping Gajeel awake.

He seemed to be mumbling something. Laxus moved closer to hear what he was saying. "Bix-low". This angered the blonde. He shook him some more. "Wake up Redfox," he said.

As Gajeel started to open his eyes he got a strong whiff of Laxus' scent. Being this close to Laxus made him realize the truth. Maybe the rain had washed the scent out before but now it was so strong that it burned his nose in a good way.

"Mate."

After those words left his mouth Gajeel was engulfed in a kiss. Laxus' lips had met his and he was kissing back without controlling himself. When Laxus asked for permission to enter his mouth he willingly gave it. They kissed until Gajeel pulled away to catch his breath.

"It's about time you noticed."
