A Metal Rose

🌹 The Not-So-Bad Twins

        "So, we're taking a job today?" Gabbriel commented, walking next to her twin.  Her curled hair was actually up today, in a ponytail. Though, to be honest here, she had to ask Gajeel for help. 
        "Yeah, I think we should get some money now. Makarov won't pay our housing bills forever." Gajeel pointed out. 
         "Oh? Since when have you cared whether or not we have money?" Gabbriel remarked, seemingly teasing him but she was really curious. Her curiosity overflowed to the bond, making Gajeel scoff.  
          "I've always cared. Just. . .We might have ourselves a good place here." He paused, looking up at the guild hall - which was only a few meters away. "Even though everyone basically hates us here."

          "At least you have me!" Gabbey cheered slightly - trying to be optimistic. Gajeel rolled his eyes but ruffled his sisters' hair.
          "Yeah, I got you." 
          "You're stuck with me, anyways - whether you want me or not."
          "Don't you know I already tried to get rid of you?"

          "HEY!"
    The twins laughed - which was rare enough as they entered the guild. Though as soon as they walked down the stairs and towards the job request board - they put on their cold faces. The two of them scanned the fliers beside Lucy and Nav (She thought, she wasn't sure), before one caught Gabbriel's attention. 
         "Here's a good one. I think." She commented, tearing it off just before a pale white hand went to go for it. 
         "Hey! I saw it first!" Lucy exclaimed, making Gabbriel look down at the blonde. 

         "Yeah, but I took it first." Gabbey retorted. 
         "EH?!" Lucy narrowed her eyes slightly. "Are you two sure you can even handle the job?" 
         "We can handle any job that comes our way," Gajeel suddenly sneered, tossing an arm over Gabbey's shoulder and starting to drag her away. "Loser, Weepers, Bunny-girl-san."
     Lucy stomped her foot on the ground and watched them walk off. "That's not fair!! Jerk!"
     Deciding to actually get to know someone in the guild - Gabbey dodged under Gajeel's arm and walked over to Lucy, towering over the poor girl. 

        "Uh. . ." Lucy paled slightly, looking up. "Y-You can have the job."

        "Oh, I-I wasn't going to talk about that." Gabbey smiled a little, hoping to calm her nerves. "Er. . ." She paused, feeling like everyone was looking at her. "Can you show me around Magnolia?"
        "Huh?" Lucy blinked. Starting to get embarrassed, Gabbriel sighed and shook her head. 

        "Naw, nevermind. I get it. See ya later, Lucy." 

    With that, Gabbey quickly followed after her brother. As she passed him, she muttered under her breathe; "Now I see why you don't want to talk to people. They're absolutely idiots. . ."

    Gabbriel let out a little hum, carrying her small backpack over her shoulder. Gajeel had a sack as his bag, iron around the bottom from the hole that she tore into it long ago. 
    It was a long and ridiculous story. 
    As of now, they were walking through Magnolia park to get to the train station quicker. 

    The raven-hair girl was so deep in thought that she almost didn't stop when Gajeel did. She only did when a sharp tug from her bond made her look up. 

    In front of them was Jet and Droy. Levy was hidden behind a tree - clearly still afraid of them. 

    They sighed at the same sigh - both of them dropping their bags at their feet. 

        "What do you want?" Gajeel grunted out, putting his hands in his pockets. 
        "Just when our first job is about to start." Gabbey sighed in disappointment, kicking the cobblestone beneath them. 
         "Job?" Jet sneered. "Oh, the twins who destroyed our guild house speaks."
