Fairy Tail x Male Reader

The Grifter

"Why is it that those two fight all the time?" Lucy asked, watching the daily brawl between Natsu and Gray, with the same insults being traded. "That all you got, Popsicle Boy?" "Not even close, Pyro!" and so on.

"What else do you expect them to do?" Erza replies, eating her usual piece of cake, as if this didn't have disaster written all over it.

"Read a book?" Levy said, looking up from a small stack of novels, pushing her red glasses back into place.

"When have you ever seen Natsu sit down, pick up a book, and just read it?" Lucy replied, tilting her head.

"OK, you have a point." Levy said, putting down one book to pick up another one, and started to skim through it.

Lucy sighs, then says,"Erza, aren't you going to stop them? Their getting a bit rowdy, even for them."

"Perhaps I should step in." Erza says more to herself, realizing the danger her cake could be in. She sighs, then moves to stand up from her spot, then notices something that few other people seemed too. "How long has that guy been standing in the doorway?" She asks, pointing at the person standing in the entrance, almost hypnotized by the battle going on. He had semi-short (h/c) hair, wearing a black jacket, a (f/c ) shirt, and loose jeans. He was just watching the fight, taking in every detail he could, sometimes scanning the room, looking at all the people there.

"I don't know, but it couldn't have been for long."Levy puts in, forgetting her books and turning to look at you as well. "I think he wants to join, otherwise he would have left by now. If he came in here by mistake, he would be halfway down the street. Or he might be here to see someone."

"So do you think we should go over there and see him?" Lucy says, but at that time, you zip up the jacket your wearing and start to walk into the battle.

Your P.O.V.

"Well this is new" You say to no one in particular, watching the fight. Based on what you read about Fairy Tail before you came here, you would assume that the two people fighting would be Natsu, or Salamander as others call him, versus Gray, the Ice Make Mage. You knew that they had a rivalry of sorts and usually fought each other as much as they would any bandit or thug unlucky enough to catch too much attention.

As you look around the room, you notice other big name wizards in the guild. Laxus Dreyar, grandson of the Master,listening to music, surrounded by his Thunder Legion. Mirajane, the She Devil. Erza, Titania, Queen of the Fairies, and one of the newest mages, Lucy, the rising Star.

As you look at the other people in the room, they start to notice you, so it was time to put on a show. You zip up your favorite jacket, so it didn't flap around with what you were about to do, and you walk towards the duel.

You spent a few minutes watching them, learning their moves, their fighting style, and their pitiful waste of oxygen they thought were insults. As you approached, Gray cried out "Ice Make; Spears!" and the thin spears spread out making a nice chance to be a pin cushion if you made a mistake. With that charming thought out of the way, you take a running start into the path of the spears, and then you start the routine.

A 'slip up' and you dodge the first 2 or 3. A roll into a crouching position that saved your head from becoming a kebab. With a few more flips, you were practically dancing in the crossfire. By then, Gray stopped shooting out icicles, and stood, almost amazed. Either by your apparent stupidity and your 'dumb luck', or at the level of real skill you just showed. Most of the guild looked similar. Laxus even took off his headset, looking on in... Admiration? It had to look good then. You turned to Gray and say with no small amount smugness at his expression, "Hey, why did you stop? I was just getting warmed up."
