Bruno Mars - Friendship Song

Metalicana looked at Gajeel's face waiting for his son to reply. Gajeel just looked at him with a blank face. He knew that his dad did not meant what he said. Even if he wanted to chat, Metalicana is a policeman, it would be a full-blown interrogation.
Although Gajeel was physically hurt, he did not want to say who did this to him, maybe a part of him wanted to protect Laxus because he was his mate, or he did not want his dad to get arrested for murdering Laxus. Maybe it was a little bit of both.
"Dad, can we go home?" Gajeel asked, in hopes of changing the topic. To no avail. His dad asked another question. "Are you trying to protect them?"
Gajeel just stared at him. "Dad please? I haven't eaten whole day and I'm really hungry.." he pleaded. "Okay," was his dad's response.

Laxus was at home, he was completely drained from detention with Gildarts. That man was from hell! Detention, in this case punishment, was Gildarts 'helping the youth hone their skills'. The thing was he literally just beat the crap out of them or if they are really good, they dodge a few of his attacks.
Laxus hopped out of bed and decided it was time for a well deserved shower. Washing away all the aches and pain. He thought of Gajeel, he wanted to see him and apologize and treat him to something to eat.
He sighed deeply.
Lucy came home. She and Levy. He could hear their voices downstairs and then everything went quiet, they were probably making out. Laxus heard them walk up the stairs and enter Lucy's room. Heavy breathing and moaning could be heard. He put his headphones into his laptop and listened to some music. He had a paper to write so he got started right away.

The next day at school, some kids from Gajeel's class came up to him to ask why he was in the infirmary for the entirety of yesterday. Apparently the principal told the teacher that he was unwell and the teacher told the class. Where is the confidentiality in that?
"Just a stomach flu," he lied. Shockingly, Gajeel had no friends in his class, or year. They were all acquaintances. The only friend he had was Bixlow. At lunch Bixlow came to get him from his class.
"So what happened yesterday?" Bixlow asked, "you didn't show up for lunch, were you feeling alright? Or were you busy?"
Gajeel told him what happened and Bixlow was ready to fight Laxus but Gajeel held him back. "No! Don't do anything!"
He sat back down after almost going to find Laxus to give him a beating.

After lunch the homeroom teacher called all the students outside to the field. Everyone stood uniformly in their lines while the teacher spoke. Behind her were a class of second-years. Bixlow's class to be exact.
"Now, I know you all are wondering why you are here. Every year we have a senior-junior union, in order to form bonds and so that they can teach you the rules and help you with any situation. You may or may not know but each student number belongs to a first, second and third year, these people are in your code. The senior-junior union is not done with the third years because they are busy with exams. It is done with the second years. Now I will announce you code pairs."
The teacher started calling out the pairs and their student numbers. Gajeel heard his.
"0074, Gajeel Redfox and Laxus Dreyar." Gajeel's face went pale. He had to walk across to his senior and he needed to will his legs to move. After the situation yesterday, he promised not to be nice and to avoid Laxus ate every chance, now he was a pair with him. He had the worst luck in the world.
Laxus on the other hand was thrilled. When he heard his number call, he was wondering which first year would be his partner. He really wanted it to be Gajeel. Then he heard his name and thought this could somehow be faith. He waited for Gajeel to come to him, after a while he could see the boy's face was not too happy about his match, and he walked like a zombie. Slowly.
When he got to Laxus he did not look at him. Laxus knew this was going to be hard. Once all the pairs were completed, the teacher spoke once more.
"There will be no classes for a week. This time will be used to bond with your pair and work on what you will be doing for the talent show. Each pair is required to perform, and as for school assignments, those will be emailed to you all. Do not forget about your academics, if you are stuck, ask for help from the seniors. Both seniors and juniors much write their own paper on how this exercise helped them or not and if your experience was positive or negative. This will also go towards course marks. Dismissed."
Each pair moved towards their own space in the field, and began familarizing themselves with eachother.
Bixlow had his pair stay fairly close to Gajeel, in case something happened, after what Gajeel told him he did not want him too close to Laxus, but this could not be helped.

It was awkward. Laxus tried to apologize but Gajeel shook him off.
"Can you sing?" Laxus asked.
"Sort of, but not really..." He trailed off.
"Good. I was thinking we sing a song for the talent show. I can play the keyboard, can you play any instruments?"
"I play the guitar," Gajeel answered.

At home Gajeel made some food and sat at his laptop. He had to exchange emails, phone numbers and line IDs. Eating and watching a show on Netflix, he was enjoying his last day of freedom, because after today he would have to practice for the talent show and do the assignments sent by his teacher.
He sighed.
Why'd it have to be him.
