Nothing Accidental About Love (NALU)

Chapter 7 Part 1

"Wait I can't fly like you and Lucy how do you expect...Aaaaaaahhhhhh!" I interrupt him by going into Dragon Force and picking him up under his armpits and taking him high in the sky. Even holding him I can barely hear him with the wind rushing by my ears. I'm sure he is still screaming his little head off but I ignore the slight urge to drop him and catch him again and just head to our destination.

We arrive in less than an hour. Gray must have stopped screaming at some point because he just dropped to the ground when I let him go. I check on him and see that he must have passed out because he is out cold.

"Hey stripper we're here!" I yell at him while shaking him. He finally got up and started frantically backing away from me shaking. I'm confused until I realize that I'm still in dragon force. I laugh and let my features return to normal.

Are you ready for your first official S class mission?" I taunt him.

"Yeah yeah whatever," he goes to dust his clothes off to find them gone. "Hey!"

"Don't look at me you wearing them when we stopped. Also don't forget what Gramps said." I yawn out, my hands clasped behind my head as I wait for him to get dressed again mumbling to himself.

We go to the clients house and get to work. The job itself isn't really that hard and between my fire and Grey's ice we are making short work of them.

"You know you should really ask Juvia out," I say as if it's a second thought. I see Gray flinch losing one of the goblins. "Hey pay attention to what your doing!" I reprimand him.

"I was, you just distracted me!" Gray started to argue until he sees me point down at him. His clothes were gone. He quickly corrects his clothing and as we finish off the last goblin I melt what ice is leftover on the lawn so the client wouldn't complain.

"Let's get the reward, this took a lot longer than a few hours," I grumble.  We return to the client and she inspects the yard and happily pays us the reward.

As we are leaving town Gray who had been quite a really long time now speaks up, "Why do you think I should ask her out?"

"Juvia? Well because you're in love with her of course," was my response. I was going to go into Dragon Force and carry Gray back to the guild but decided to wait. I still have time to burn anyway. Might as well let Gray talk a little, for now anyway.

"How can you say that? What makes you think I'm in love with her?" He seems shaken. I walk closer and set my hand on his shoulder and turn him to face me. We are stopped in the middle of the road.

"Gray, I'm a dragon slayer," I tell him. Trying to get him to understand.

"Yeah so?" I take a deep breath. I guess I'm just going to have to tell him.

"Gray, I have dragon senses like hearing and smell," he still looks clueless. "Gray I can smell your hormones whenever your around her," there I said it out loud he will just have to deal with it now.

"Wait you can smell hormones? How long have you been able to do that?"

I look at him like he is stupid, which he is, especially right now, "forever."

"But..." He stops and he just looks at my deadpanned look.

"Look stripper, you like her a lot might I add. You only smell like that when she is around or when you are talking or thinking about her. Yes I know when you are thinking about her. It's why I brought up the subject you were thinking about her again. Otherwise I need to inform you I already have my mate and dragons and slayers only mate for life so no I'm not interested in you." I chuckle at the last part when he gave me a horrified look and I cuffed him behind the ear.
